Chapter 56 Cutting Business
O'Connell hoped that with the peaceful petition campaign, the British would understand that Irish lives matter.
However, although the momentum of this approach was great, it had little effect, or rather was not popular, and O'Connell was convinced that his actions would prompt the British government, and eventually Ireland to self-government.
But the lords of London actually cared little about what was going on on Emerald Island, more so than the Indian subcontinent, the new territories of South America, the Near East, the Far East, Africa, and even Oceania.
However, it is true that Britain has wronged Ireland by doing nothing over the years, and in fact the British government has interfered in Irish affairs for a long time, just so as not to violate the theory of free trade.
Most of the actions of the British were not economic, the most important of which was the Poor Law. This is a "poor man's law" modeled after the British workhouse (asylum).
This completely obsolete operation was supported by the landlords and the church, who felt that it was the best way to free people from the bondage of the land, and the factory owners who formulated it were even more happy to see it.
The Poor Law divided Ireland into 130 parish almshouses, each with a poor arts house that provided food and lodging for the poor, but required them to work to pay for it.
This may seem like the more popular cash-for-work in later generations, but there is a problem here, and that is that the almshouses do not give money, but food and lodging.
This does not improve the living conditions of the poor, but puts a heavy burden on local governments. In order to make it easier to manage, the local government implements iron-fisted management of the workhouse.
At the same time, since the workhouse was borne by the local government, the management of the workhouse became a business. The aristocracy and the capitalists certainly did not manage the poor themselves, and to manage them effectively they had to find people who could deter them.
Then the rascals and ruffians who had been doing things in their daily lives became the managers of the workhouse, with whips and rulers in their hands, and they did not know that they thought that these people were overseers.
This group of people ran the workhouse, and life in it was conceivable, with abuse, extortion, and assault that both the police and their compatriots turned a blind eye to.
Therefore, unless it is the elderly, the sick, the orphan or the really desperate, they will enter it, but they also hate it.
There was a noble young master who ran away from home and fled to a workhouse, and when he was found a year later, he was insane, and had lost his left eye and all his teeth, his left hand was only his index finger, and his right leg was rotting and deformed.
The workhouse is described most of the time as a devil's cave, a bottomless abyss.
Franz proved to be a wise decision to hand over the entertainment business to Carmela Settels, Chretia, Tina, and Flleglova.
The ambition, the ambition, the ability, and the insight of these people, coupled with a little support from Franz, created a very gratifying value.
However, Franz still has to put a lock on them, after all, Franz is a member of the royal family, and he may be an emperor in the future, not a businessman, and stability and sustainability are much more important than short-term profits.
Peleni Schaffel, the eleventh daughter of the patriarch of the famous Shavre family, Chaba Shavre, a Hungarian, is considered a protégé of Talia, graduated from the Royal Women's College in Vienna, and is good at mathematics, economic theory, and banking
When he graduated, he received S-grade evaluations in several subjects, which was a special evaluation criterion given by Franz, which means "an existence beyond ordinary people". A grade means very good and has great potential for the future.
Grade B is good, good enough for most jobs, and has the value of continuing to develop. The C level is just passing, and after training, it is enough to be competent for most jobs, and the potential is not very good, which is not optimistic about the instructor.
It's just that such a genius is not treated at home, and after Peleni enters the school, the family's dealings with her are only tuition and living expenses for each semester.
It took Pellaini a year to complete the puzzle that Franz gave her, much to Franz's surprise, after all, the protagonist of a self-made story usually has to go through a lot of effort.
But that's a good thing for Franz, because the more people available, the better.
Pelleni's appearance can only be described as average, and the standard lady's outfit cannot be said to be ugly, but it is definitely not beautiful. Coupled with a pair of thick glasses, it doesn't look like a genius at all.
Pellaini Shafer still has certain requirements for her boss, and before Franz could speak, she took out a roll first.
The atmosphere was awkward, and Franz looked at Talia, who was staring blankly at the ceiling, apparently unaware that Peleni would be doing this.
Bordeaux felt greatly offended, but was stopped by Adjani on the side, after all, she didn't think Franz would mind, and at the same time wanted to see where Franz's limits were.
Fortunately, most of them were Franz's knowledge, and it took about two quarters of an hour to finish the paper.
Peleni on the side wanted to take the roll, but Franz began to check it again. After another quarter of an hour, Franz finally finished the inspection.
It's just that at this time, the people around have already dozed off, after all, no one dares to disturb Franz, and everyone can only wait silently.
Franz had to poke Peleni before the latter came to his senses and took the paper with a slight apology.
"If it had been my mentor, Mr. Pombavik, you would have failed. But I admit that you are indeed a monster beyond common sense, as Miss Talia says. ”
Peleni had a loud voice and sounded excited, perhaps for the first time she had discovered someone with similar views and a more complete and excellent theory.
Franz was noncommittal about this assessment, and looked at Talia to the side, who was ready to slip away.
"Talia, if one day I become a legend, you must have a part in it. If I'm not mistaken, you said that tyrannical demon last time. ”
Talia smiled awkwardly and pretended nothing had happened.
Péleni Shaffer is undoubtedly talented, but it will take time to see if she can dominate the four former chiefs.
After all, these people are all strong, and it is not so easy to identify with each other.
Carmela Setters is an elegant iceberg beauty, with deep eyes and a quiet personality that makes it hard to believe that she grew up in the slums, but she is also the most impersonal, obedient and easy to control of them all.
Chrétia is young, beautiful, and enthusiastic and unrestrained, and at the same time, she loves vanity, greed for money and power, but she is not stupid, knows how to get the most benefits, and is a typical "dancing girl".
Tina, the shortest of the four, always looks pitiful, but she is cute and loving, and she has a Lolita posture. It's just that it's actually the oldest of the four.,23 years old, it's an expired Lori.。
Freiglova, a gypsy who exudes mystery and danger at every turn, is actually the most cunning of the four, convinced of Franz's identity and has an almost paranoid adoration.
