Holy Roman Empire

Tax policy is still just an intention, and to what extent it will ultimately depend on the actual situation. Except for the parties, most people are indifferent.

Colonial and indigenous integration is not the same. As soon as the Vienna government made a noise, it quickly caused heated debate.

Supporters and opponents are tortured in newspapers every day, and even hot topics such as the Prussian-Russian war, the United States negotiations, and the bullying of the Russian navy by pirates have been suppressed.

Public opinion is not one-sided, and supporters and opponents are killed with equal fanfare. This reassures Franz that it seems that the chances of integration passing in the Imperial Parliament are relatively high.

As emperor, Franz never did, although he had the ability to force a decision.

On the surface, it looks so powerful and powerful, showing a monarchy authority that has a lot of promise, but the potential political threat it poses is very large. The decision is correct, it should be, and the emperor will be responsible for the wrong decision.

No one can guarantee that no mistake will be made, let alone that the correct decision made at the wrong time and place is also a mistake.

The Imperial Parliament is the supreme authority of the New Holy Roman Empire. One of them is a scapegoat, and usually large political decisions need to be made here.

This is the political back-end prepared by Franz. In the event of a major problem, if the cabinet does not want to get out of the way, the Imperial Parliament can also be held accountable.

After so many years of reorganization, the current Imperial Parliament is no longer the first few people. The number of parliamentarians has increased significantly, but the state-based system has not changed.

Even the smallest free city has at least one seat, and then one seat is created for every three million people. In order to take care of small states, a population of more than three million is directly added to one seat.

Anyway, anyway, Austria has half of the seats. However, one third of the lawmakers can object to the resolution. To amend the constitution, more than 95% of the lawmakers must agree.

It is worth mentioning that Franz did not come up with the constitutional issue, but the initiative of the states.

Because the empire's constitution guaranteed their autonomy, in order to prevent Austria from interfering in their internal affairs, it directly proposed an almost unsatisfactory condition.

Of course, the favorable provisions of the Constitution to protect the emperor and king are also one of the reasons for this. Everyone is a smart person, and of course we must support it as a clause in our favor.

The rights of the central government are naturally restricted. No matter how aggressive the bureaucracy is, their rights are restricted in law.

Each state government has a team, and now the cabinet of the new Holy Roman Empire government has great power, which is based on the premise that they also serve as the Austrian cabinet.

If one day Franz is upset, he can just split them up. Then the Imperial Cabinet will find it awkward that they can do nothing without the cooperation of the state government.

The army is owned by the emperor and the king below, and the cabinet has no right to move; the states have a high degree of autonomy, and the central government has no right to intervene in internal affairs.

Only part of the fiscal power is left, and the central government can print money. However, this also needs the approval of the Imperial Parliament. Government assessment.

Of course, diplomatic power is in the hands of the central government and colonial management is also in the hands of the central government, but these are inseparable from the cooperation of the state.

Especially when it comes to the internal affairs of the state government, all policies can only be implemented with the cooperation of the state government.

For example: Now that the government plans to rebate taxes to textile factories, it must be supported by the state government.

If a state government opposes it, they can still do their own thing and continue to levy taxes according to their own laws, regardless of the decision of the central government.

This is only theoretical. In fact, the economy of the New Holy Roman Empire is now integrated. Many economic problems need to be coordinated by the central government, and there is no reason for everyone to reject terms that are beneficial to them.

This is also Franz's positioning of the central government, an organizing coordinator, connecting all states.

It is somewhat similar to the German Empire in history, but his emperor has much greater rights. The central government has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of states, which does not mean that the emperor has no right to interfere.

It's one thing to have rights, it's another to have them.

Unless the government of a certain state is so angry that the people will stand up, Franz will only intervene when the emperor must intervene.

This hasn't happened since the establishment of the new Holy Roman Empire, so Franz has always been paid only.

He is not a rights madman, why is it necessary to do such unfavorable things? As emperor of the new Holy Roman Empire, be a good judge.

What's more, Franz was also the emperor of Austria and the king of Bavaria, and even if he had the right to thrive, there was nowhere to vent.

If it does n’t work, you can also toss the colony. Anyway, things can never be done. If you are not afraid of sudden death, you can work 24 hours a day.

It is not without benefits that there are more part-time jobs. In a society with a clear division of property in Europe, Franz can naturally get more salaries.

The annuity of the new Holy Roman Empire, the annuity of the Austrian emperor, and the annuity of the Bavarian king, if the future colonial integration process is completed, he will probably have to add several titles, and it will be a large income.

As for merging the colonies into Austria? This is completely impossible.

The establishment of overseas colonies was very expensive. The Austrian family obviously could not afford it, and in the end it was the money financed by the New Holy Roman Empire.

In other words, it was all the nations who contributed money together to establish the current colonial empire.

If all the money was allocated to Austria, the money owners would definitely not agree. It is even more impossible for a family to be part of the colony, and the colonies are far away from destiny to decentralize.

It is enough for the states to get economic benefits. Even if they have the nominal management power, they have no way to manage it.

Franz encouraged everyone to open overseas colonies. The colonies that the state government wants to open can do it alone.

Considering the horrible capital investment and risks, everyone still decided to let the central government go! To make money for everyone, make money for everyone.

The most important thing is that there is no way to leave the central government alone. Without the protection of the imperial navy, how can the security of the colonies be solved?

Did you see that the colonial strongholds established by Prussian and German federal capitalists overseas had taken the initiative to join?

Even now that Prussia and the Federal Republic of Germany join the colonial movement, they cannot do without the support of the Shinshin Empire.

This can't be solved by holding thighs, overseas colonies are another world. Each country has a large number of civilian colonial teams overseas, and these groups are not completely under the control of governments.

If there is a conflict, governments will be on their side.

In the end, they all use their fists to speak. If they are strong in an overseas region, they can occupy the dominant position in the region, instead of simply looking at the strength of the country.

This is also the reason why the Netherlands and Portugal can maintain large colonies. Although their countries are not strong, they are strong enough in some regions.

Since the colonial empire was established by everyone at their own expense, colonial ownership naturally belongs to the empire. The way in which the empire is incorporated is also a question that needs to be studied.

Autonomous provinces, municipalities, self-governing territories, provinces directly under the Central Government, states, nobles ...

These are alternatives, and different titles represent different systems.

A municipality means fragmentation of a colony, a self-governing territory means a larger territory reserved by the colony, and a province directly under the central government means that the central government directly controls the state.

In terms of interests, Franz is certainly more willing to merge the colony into the empire as a state, which helps to consolidate the imperial power.

To put it bluntly, whether it is the principality or the kingdom, Franz can directly serve as the king. The empire's bond is first the emperor, and the second is economic integration.

The more part-time jobs the more stable the throne, unless all nations together against the emperor are safe.

Under the policy conditions, no one dared to risk the country's division and push the emperor down. Moreover, before the abolition of the emperor, there must be a civil war.

The opposing states must be subdued by force, otherwise the Imperial Parliament cannot pass. Without amendment to the constitution, the new regime will not gain legitimacy.

The legitimacy of regimes under the European cultural system is very important. Usually, the lower the legitimacy, the shorter the regime ’s life span.

Regimes without legitimacy, prepare to suppress the rebellion every day! No, the regime has no legitimacy. This cannot be regarded as a rebellion.

On the question of revolution, Franz was very relieved. As long as it is not an army rebellion, it can be done easily.

Just look at Vienna. There is no basis for revolution here. Even if there is a revolution throughout Europe, there is no room for trouble here.

There has been no major strike in Vienna since Franz's succession. Even if a strike occurs, the scale is limited to one hundred and eighty people, which is enough to explain many problems.

This is not without reason. Since more than a decade ago, the Vienna government has banned the opening of any factories in Vienna, and the factories that have been established have been relocated.

There is no large-scale strike in a city without industry.

Vienna's economy is now dominated by services, research, and finance. The economic structure determines the superstructure, and the income of employees in these industries is relatively good.

Without industrial pollution, Vienna has become the most beautiful city in Europe and the first large city in Europe without slums.

Small cities cannot be counted. Small cities in this era are themselves a big slum, and there is no need to distinguish them.

As a cost, the population growth rate in Vienna is slow, and the speed of urban development is far behind that of London and Paris.

Even within the New Holy Roman Empire, many cities now surpass Vienna in population, such as Milan and Munich.

Of course, the population is not equal to the economy. At present, the total population of Vienna is only 680,000, and the urban population is only 310,000. However, the total economy is only in London and Paris.

With a small population and a developed economy, the people's living standards are steadily at the forefront of Europe, and social conflicts are naturally reduced. With fewer social contradictions, people's desire for revolution has also decreased.

As the basic plate of the Habsburg family, Franz attaches great importance to it. As the capital of the two empires, Vienna has a unique advantage, and there is no need to develop any industry.

Although Greater London and Greater Paris seem to have face, they actually know it bitterly. London became the fog capital and Paris became the capital of revolution.

Moreover, large cities are not suitable for industrial development. Land prices and living costs are far higher than those of small and medium cities, and they have raised the cost of industrial production from the beginning.

Take Vienna as an example. If you invest and build a factory here, the land price will be three times higher than that of small and medium cities, and the labor cost will also increase by at least one third.

This has not considered the issue of raw material transportation. If various factors are combined, the production costs of these factories usually increase by 10% to 30%.

Franz can only sigh that competition is not fierce in this era. Capitalists do not know how to optimize the allocation of industries, and they have not spared all efforts to save costs.

You have to know that where the later capitalists have the lowest production costs, they will move their factories. If anyone insists on staying in a big city, he will either be swept out or closed.

Of course, Franz is very clear that everyone is keen to squeeze into the capital, mainly because it is close to the center of rights, which can gain political gain.

However, Franz, who did not like capital interference in politics, flipped the table from the beginning and did not provide them with this opportunity.

There are enough resources in Vienna. These industries are not needed, but many small and medium cities need them. Under this policy, Austria has added another seven or eight industrial cities.

In this way, perhaps Austria's total industry has not increased much, but its industrial competitiveness has increased, which is very beneficial to long-term development.

In this era, large cities are prone to strikes. Many times it is capitalists who pass on these increased costs to workers in order to protect their own interests.

The worse the economic situation is, the more strikes occur, the more intense social conflicts.

From the ruler's point of view, as long as Franz's rule in Vienna is stable, other regions can have problems and they can be repressed.

This is a lesson from history. Most successful revolutions in Europe were achieved in the capital. There may be exceptions, but they don't exist in Franz's memory.

In short, Franz realized de-industrialization in Vienna, whether for industrial development or to maintain the need for domination.

This is also a precautionary plan. With a stable capital and a comprehensive system, it can be said that Franz has put safety first to the extreme. As long as it doesn't die, it really won't die.
