Austria 1840

Over there, Milakovich went to Britain and tiptoely started his career as a commercial espionage.

Here, Karl Ludwig also started his small factory business generously.

Whether it is a brick and tile factory, a glass factory, or a lumber factory, they are all mature industries. After the land is selected and the money is in place, it will start soon.

Now that it's started, there's nothing to do with Carl.

After all, he doesn't understand the specific affairs, and he doesn't need to worry too much. As long as he doesn't mess around, he can sell everything he produces and make money.

Carl recently applied for several patents, one for hollow bricks, one for cotton wool tiles, and one for reinforced concrete.

The hollow brick can greatly reduce the weight under the premise of no significant change in strength. It is economical and safe to use in non-load-bearing positions.

The cotton wool tile is actually adding some flocculent material to the inside of the tile, which is the same as adding some wheat straw to Hemu. The thickness, that is, the weight, can be greatly reduced while maintaining the strength of the tile.

Not to mention reinforced concrete, which can directly increase the tensile and flexural properties several times.

It is a combination of simple ideas and new things.

Later, someone will publicly propose, apply for a patent, and even practice it long ago. It may be a mason in some corner of the country who doesn't realize the patent.

Instead of letting the British and French collect these royalties, it would be better for Carl to collect them in person. This money is easy and stable, and it can also promote social development, benefit the country, the people, and himself.

Of course, this patent fee cannot be received by small workshops in the countryside or small towns, but there are still large-scale factories in Britain, France, Russia, Opp, and the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, etc., which can charge a lot of patent fees.

This has an additional benefit. In the future, there will definitely be some people who have used the patents themselves and have not paid for them. Then they will file lawsuits with these countries. You also used my patents and did not pay. Everyone, don’t talk about the second child, just pass by. .

After a rough calculation, the royalties that he can collect are enough for him to serve ten or eight schools of the size of Princess Maria Anna Teachers College every year.

Speaking of school, it's because Karl and the "New Countryman" Princess Maria have come here again.

This is a weekly meeting. It used to be held at the princess' mansion, but now it is held at the school.

After all, although there are no new buildings in the school, the barracks have almost been cleaned, and a few people who are preparing for the school have already moved in to work.

At the weekly regular meeting, the principal will talk to the school's investors about the progress, and the princess will also help the school to solve some problems that the principal and other big three cannot solve.

"His Royal Highness Princess Maria, Her Royal Highness Carl, now we are using the original barracks, which have been completely cleaned and can be enrolled. These school buildings can accommodate 1,500 people, and the first wave of students will be welcomed in the second half of the year, which is estimated to be around 1,000 people. "

After Principal Bazel's greetings, he directly informed the princess and the grand duke of the most concerned issues.

"As I said before, it's mainly people from the Austrian language preparatory class. Their own family conditions are not very good. In this barracks, they can be tough."

This pointed out that the background of the trainees just met the expectations of Carl and the princess. They also wanted to focus on commoners and craftsmen, rather than local nobles and tyrants.

Carl had chatted with the old war **** and Princess Maria from the very beginning. They didn't plan to change the nobles and tyrants who already had national consciousness. They planned to unite the most common civilians to curb a small number of nobles.

"Now there are a few points that need Her Royal Highness to help us confirm that there is no problem."

Bazel leaned forward, pondered for a while, and then asked.

"Oh, you said."

Hearing the princess' words, he sat up straight and listed the questions one by one.

"The first one is the printing of the textbook for the Austrian language preparatory class, I don't know..."

"This is no problem. Our printing machine can print 50,000 sheets per hour at the fastest speed, and 10,000 sheets at low speed. As long as your textbooks are OK, we can print and bind them for you in five working days."

Carl replied, after all, this is the latest machine. Besides, even if this machine is out of service, there is still one in Budapest, and it will only be 300 kilometers back and forth.

"The second is the new school building, that is, the construction of regular teaching buildings, dormitories, laboratories, canteens, etc. We have already asked someone to make design drawings."

Principal Bazel said while watching the reaction of the two of them, especially the reaction of the princess.

"According to the current progress, even if the construction starts now, it will take two years before it can be officially put into use. That is, will the enrollment scale be reduced a little by this time next year, or should students be crowded? Or should we build more temporary dormitories?"

Experts consider issues dynamically, and Bazel's attitude deserves recognition.

Karl glanced at Maria, who nodded, and he replied:

"No need, no matter whether it is a teaching building, dormitory, laboratory or canteen, it can be put into use within a year."

With the arrival of Portland cement, reinforced concrete can be used for load-bearing, and hollow bricks can be added to reduce the weight of the building. In addition, the cotton tiles are durable and the windows are bright and clean.

Carl still fully recognizes these efficiencies. Compared with the Gothic style, the construction cycle of large-scale buildings takes ten to eight years, and the construction cycle of small buildings takes two or three years.

With "new technology products" such as concrete, hollow bricks, and cotton tiles, this school's teaching building, dormitory and other small buildings can be controlled within a year, or even completed in half a year.

And the built house looks light and lively, which is completely different from the sturdy and heavy Gothic style, and young people will like it.

Well, I have to invite the design people to chat with me later, so that they don't need to follow the gothic plan.

"Well, if there is a problem at that time, I will arrange to live at the princess' house. Now you can rest assured."

Carl saw their disbelieving eyes. He couldn't say anything with white teeth, and he couldn't swear, so he had to take out the princess' mansion as a reassurance for them.

"Her Royal Highness, the recruitment notice, we have also designed it and are ready to publish it to the entire Austrian Empire, as well as the Balkans, the Apennine Peninsula, and major cities and towns on the northern shore of the Black Sea."

Deputy Principal Duden reported on the admissions in charge of him.

"President Duden, our school building has not been completed yet. Can we wait for the planning and design drawings to come out, and add the planning to the admission advertisement?"

"His Royal Highness, that's what we think, this ad will give a rough introduction first, after all, the first recruits are mainly people from the Vojvodina area, which is the southern and eastern parts of Novi Sad... ·"

Carl nodded frequently, feeling that his work was well considered. Whether it was good or bad, it was a matter of skill. If he considered it seriously, he had a better attitude. Besides, it was recommended by his own people, so his skill was definitely not small.

"... Next year, we will introduce some of our main buildings in detail in the advertisement. At that time, if there are pictures and the truth, the effect will be better."

"Okay, Principal Duden thought it through, we don't have a chance to fill in the vacancies. Haha."

Princess Maria complimented the Silesia.

"His Royal Highness, in the textbooks, except for the Austrian language preparatory training course, I use the mature textbooks of the University of Vienna. They agreed to use them free of charge, as long as we help them print 50 more copies of each book."

Daniel, the Provost from Bavaria, said.

Well, the printing cost in Vienna must be higher than us, and he guessed it when he heard the Provost's report.

You can ask the printing house in Pressburg to pick up their work. Except for daily newspapers, which have high time requirements, other printing businesses can be grabbed, whether it is textbooks, Bibles, or weekly and academic publications.

The railway between Vienna and Pressburg is ready, and even the daily newspapers can be printed. As for the opening of a printing factory in Vienna, it is better to keep a low profile and not go to the crowd for the time being.

"Where are our teachers recruited from?"

Carl asked casually.

"Mainly Vienna, but also a small number of cities such as Munich and Berlin. What's the matter, His Royal Highness Karl?"

Deputy Principal Du Deng replied, he has doubts, do you have to take care of this too? Too much.

"Not only Vienna, but other Austrian-speaking cities, such as Brussels, Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, and Breslau. Don't hollow out Vienna, haha."

The princess explained to little Carl and mocked the lack of scientific and educational talents in Vienna.

"As long as it is in the German region and Austrian is the mother tongue, anyone can come here and teach various objective subjects. When we have a history class next year, we need Austrians to come and teach."

Carl should explain himself, talent, or respect, and don't cause misunderstandings.

"Or a German who agrees with the Austrian Empire's historical view, or even a non-German who agrees with the Austrian view of history, as long as he speaks the Austrian language well, is loyal to the Habsburgs, and is loyal to Austria."

The princess added another sentence.

"If these students and teachers are fighting against Austria and Germany, it will go against our original intention. Aunt Maria and I, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com don't want to pay to train people to fight against us. ."

Carl decided to emphasize this matter again.

"I also want to live in an environment that is friendly to Habsburg and Austria. You see, I can spend some money to create this environment."

Princess Maria is putting it mildly, and she's doing it, spending money to create an Austrian environment, and what could be easier than education to transform young people.

"His Royal Highness Princess and Grand Duke, we understand and support you very much. Don't worry, we will check this one. If someone is found to be inconsistent in the later stage, we will also ask him to leave."

Speaking of which, the three responsible persons all know that this is the bottom line.

Everything else can be decided by the three of them. This must be followed.

The three of them also understand that in the end, this is human nature, and they expect to spend money on those who recognize them and support them, rather than on those who oppose or even overthrow them.

In particular, Princess Maria went from being a "city dweller" in Vienna, a big international city, to becoming a "new countryman". It is normal to feel lost and lonely. She has to understand this kind of request. Gotta support.

"It's better to have this clause in the contract of employment, and then it's better to deal with it according to the rules. Some people in the province say that we fool people over and away, which will also affect the reputation of you and me and the school."

Carl expressed his thoughts and tied the Big Three, the school, and the princess together.

This is the operational level. It's not something that an ordinary six-year-old can think of. Doesn't it mean that their Lao Ha family is half-stupid?

After this wave of operations, several people have to look at this little Archduke Karl Ludwig with different eyes.
