Baron Brooke is definitely an outlier in the officialdom of the Austrian Empire, and of course, it is precisely because of this outlier that Franz can save a lot of "administrative costs".

However, although this brother is a pillar of the country, the Yu family can be described as a family unfortunate.

Because of Baron Brooke's misfits, he offended a lot of people. Although Austria will not be as wild as California, there is no shortage of stumbling blocks for the governor of the Imperial Central Bank and the financial adviser of the imperial family.

Some people are upright and not afraid of shadows, but most of his relatives are just mortals. So the gods fought, and the mortals suffered.

The rest of the Brooke family lived in a difficult way, even as the workers in the British factories, after all, if someone kept an eye on you and held you to the highest standards, it would be worse than death.

Brooke is ruthless to his family and even more demanding of himself, and he has historically died because of his self-confession.

Franz did not want the tragedy of history to repeat itself, so he built a mansion opposite the Governor of the Reich Central Bank.

At the very least, Mr. Baron can move out of the attic where he has lived for decades, and in the imperial capital, where every inch of land is valuable, Mr. Baron's salary is indeed a little insufficient.

This is a historical legacy, because the number of civil servants in the Austrian Empire, coupled with financial problems, has always been low.

But the empire had a tradition of extravagance and waste, and there was a lot of socializing in society, which in turn contributed to the culture of corruption.

However, at Franz's insistence, the salaries of civil servants in the Austrian Empire had risen many times, at least to support the whole family, and to have some surplus money for less extravagant spending.

But this also leads to many problems, such as the fact that it is more difficult to obtain civil service qualifications, and more people want to take advantage of the country's loopholes to eat empty salaries.

This was an important reason why Prince Metternich opposed a salary increase for the Austrian civil service, and the Count of Korolav supported the salary increase, because the latter felt that the moths would be more harmful if they did not raise their salaries.

In addition to the mansion and bodyguards, Franz also provided each of the members of Baron Brooke's family with an annuity as a reward for his many years of service to the royal family.

Although the amount is not large, it is enough for them to live a more decent life in the countryside.

Embezzlement, corruption, bribery, and abuse of power were all too common in the nineteenth century, and many of them were overt or semi-public, and Franz was well aware of all this, but he could not rush it.

Some diseases do not form in a day, and it is naturally difficult to get rid of them all in one day. And the medicine is not used correctly, it may be counterproductive, and it is necessary to strengthen the body while getting rid of the disease, otherwise a dose of fierce medicine may disappear with the disease.

Therefore, both are indispensable.

Speaking of Fuzheng, we have to mention the education of the Austrian Empire, the pilot education has already achieved initial results, and a large number of church schools have sprung up with the support of the state.

However, these schools were mainly built in Nellettania and the royal domain, because Franz did not know what direction the world would be going in 1848, and whether madness would have swallowed up humanity.

In order to avoid some human tragedy, Franz decided to put back the education for all that he had in mind.

As for the royal realm, Franz is still very confident, and he has cultivated the most basic organizational structure in these places, so that even in the event of war, these people can unite to defend their property.

In fact, it is to use some unemployed college students who "meet the standards", plus a group of "loyal" veteran officers, these people are usually a relatively useless group of people in Austrian society, but they are suitable for the grassroots level.

In fact, in addition to them, there are countless churches and clergy that act as lubricants. Don't underestimate the role of this group of gods, they play an indispensable role in the lives of the people at the bottom at this time.

In this era, there were many people who had never left their villages and fields in their lives, and they were baptized by the clergy when they were born, and the priests also officiated at weddings and funerals afterwards.

In particular, the parish priests in some small places are as authoritative as the ancestral hall patriarchs in the southern region.

The skeleton formed by these people staying together, together with the people who have completed the patriotic education of loyalty to the monarch, can form an impregnable fortress.

In addition to literacy, basic education in Austria is to improve the obedience of the people to the state, which is the so-called loyalty and patriotism.

This is nothing new, Prussia began to educate the monarch and patriotism as early as the time of Wilhelm III, and his purpose was mainly to improve the quality of the people and build a sense of nationhood.

After all, the Germans at that time did not have a strong concept of the state, for example, there were often Hesserians, Bavarians, Saxons, and even Hanoverians in the Austrian army.

When the German states were at war, everyone joined the army of any country according to their preference. For example, General Julius Jacob von Heinau, for example, was actually a Hessian, while the Field Marshal of Saxony was a Württemberg.

King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia decided to put an end to this chaos, and at the suggestion of the great educator Alexander von Humboldt began to declare war on tradition, demanding loyalty from the people to the state and respect for the monarch, so the Prussians rarely fought for other countries.

Historically, on the other hand, the Austrians have done this very badly, and even let a guy who practiced Rulai be mistaken for a German.

Many of the Prussian practices have survived to modern times, such as flag-raising ceremonies, singing the national anthem, and celebrating the country's history (especially the victory in the war against Austria).

In addition, the Prussian government established Prussian Youth Corps in schools, with the aim of developing discipline and patriotism in young students through military training.

Prussia's patriotic education was a great success in Prussia, improving national consciousness and civic quality, and laying a solid foundation for Prussia's rise in Europe.

This kind of education system was later imitated and introduced by other countries, and the Austrians also learned it in history, but they did not understand it, but they made a lot of complaints.

In fact, the situation in the Austrian Empire was much more complicated than that of Prussia, with its large number of nationalities, which was divided into geographical units by mountains and rivers, and at least the word nationalism should not be used casually.

The only thing that held the country together was the royal family and the Church, but Franz would find a way to integrate it into a unified economy.

After all, with the development of history, the first two ties will become more and more fragile, and the economic chain will become closer and closer.

Of course, strength and weakness are only relative, if Franz can become a great man from heaven and turn the tide to complete the great cause of Zhongxing, then the bond of the royal family will become the reins of the whole country, completely controlling the direction of the empire.

In fact, the Prussians played the game very clearly, and Franz couldn't even think of anything to add.

The only thing that seems to be a reference is the reversal of the combination of secular imperial power and theocracy, which can attract a large number of fanatical supporters, but also brings a lot of unnecessary trouble to itself.

And Franz wasn't sure if he would get lost in the cult of personality, after all, there was no shortage of iron-willed macho men and visionary geniuses in history, but they couldn't escape the fate of being killed in the end.
