The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven
Vol 2 Chapter 35: genius, idiot, unlucky
There is such a genius, it will take decades for his discoveries to be gradually understood by people, and it will take nearly a hundred years for the related inventions to be revealed to people. And his contributions still affect our lives to this day.
Color ultrasound, radar, and even the theoretical basis of the Big Bang are all based on his discoveries, but unfortunately, he was not taken seriously when he was alive, and even lived a poor life.
He was born in a well-known stonemason family in Salzburg, Austria. As the eldest son, he was asked to take over the stonemason's business according to family tradition.
However, he does not have the good body of his father, and he is destined not to be able to engage in traditional family business.
Although he could not inherit the family business, his family was very rich, and his father hired the best tutors for him, hoping that he would become an artist, but he was more interested in mathematics.
In 1822 he was successfully admitted to the Vienna Institute of Technology, and in 1825 he was admitted to the University of Vienna.
At the end of his teaching assistant career in 1833, the University of Vienna did not consider renewing his contract.
He had to think about his future. In March 1833, he applied for a teaching position at the Royal University of Prague. He was full of confidence in this. After all, he had obtained multiple degrees and had many years of teaching assistant experience in the imperial capital of Vienna.
But his job application letter was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news. Anxious and disappointed, he had no choice but to continue his job hunting.
It just so happened that the Austrian Imperial Naval Academy in Venice was recruiting teachers.
He felt that a group of naval bosses had no reason to reject such an excellent scholar as himself.
He rushed to the interview excitedly, but was kicked out because of his thin body.
Nor did he find a job until 1834, when he left Vienna.
I had no choice but to return to my hometown and become an accountant in a textile factory.
Keeping accounts in a dark factory is obviously not the life he wants.
His younger brother inherited the family business, learned of his brother's current situation, and offered to pay for his brother to go to the United States to develop.
Although his family is only a family of stonemasons, it is definitely a rich man who can live next door to Mozart.
Soon, he received a large sum of money, which was enough to leave the Austrian Empire to America across the ocean.
At the same time, he also received two invitation letters, one from Bern and one from Prague, both of which invited him to be a middle school teacher.
He chose Prague, which is closer, and for this reason he also learned Czech, but on the first day in Prague, he found that all the people here spoke German.
He married the daughter of a local goldsmith, but their life was not happy after marriage. The goldsmith's daughter quickly spent all his money, so he often left him and her at home and went home alone. natal family.
In a fit of anger, he took his daughter and went to Vienna to apply for a job.
Of course his luck was as bad as before, he went to several universities in Vienna, but was always rejected.
When he had only two Kreutz left in his pocket, he was kicked out by the innkeeper. Unfortunately, his daughter had a high fever again.
He could only try his luck at the Royal Academy in Vienna with the cheek, but the other party didn't intend to meet this commoner without a title at all.
The gatekeeper, who was fat and full of caries, pushed him out of the door.
He was still holding his daughter, and accidentally fell to the ground, but he still begged.
"Please, be merciful, and for God's sake, let me see Count Efate. My daughter is ill and I need a job."
The gatekeeper spat on the ground.
"Bah! There are tens of thousands of college students in Vienna, who doesn't want to work in the Royal Academy, you are a country bumpkin who doesn't even have aristocratic status, you deserve it!?"
He hugged the gatekeeper's thigh and begged.
"Sir, please do me a favor. I'm still a stonemason, so I can help you."
The gatekeeper hesitated and asked.
"What do you know?"
He answered without thinking.
"I'll carve a tombstone."
The gatekeeper was furious and kicked him.
There were a lot of well-dressed gentlemen around, and they didn't even stop to look at the man being beaten, they just talked and walked away as if nothing happened.
In order to protect the daughter in his arms, he hit his head and fell down the steps, but luckily he was caught in time.
"What's going on? If I'm not mistaken, you are beating a gentleman with his daughter. When did the Vienna Royal Academy become an unregulated place?" A child said very displeased.
"Where's the brat, just stay there, aren't you the illegitimate child of this poor man?" The gatekeeper said mockingly.
As soon as the gatekeeper finished speaking, several figures came to his side, two tall imperial guards held him firmly, and a man who looked like an officer began to slap the gatekeeper involuntarily.
The officer was tall and strong, and his arm strength was amazing. He knocked out two teeth of the gatekeeper with one slap, and slapped the gatekeeper's face like a pig's head with a few slaps.
Seeing that the beating was from the Imperial Army, the gatekeeper immediately begged for mercy from the officer of the Imperial Army.
"Please, let me go, my lord, I didn't mean to offend you. My words are dirty, and my blood is even dirtier. Don't dirty your hands, oops." The gatekeeper lost his teeth, so his words were a bit leaky, but The effect can still be heard.
The officer of the imperial army shook his head, and turned his head to look at the boy.
Only then did the gatekeeper know that the young man was not an illegitimate child, and that the one with the forbidden army could only be the royal family, and he felt like dying immediately.
Insulting the royal family, this is the Austrian Empire, not France.
In France, Philip Pang can wantonly insult the royal family and only pay some fines.
Philip Pon, a French painter, became famous for insulting Louis Philippe, and he called on all French painters to insult Louis Philippe together.
But in Austria, the crime can be big or small. If it can be troubled by the emperor, it is probably just exile or expelled from Vienna.
If he didn't make a fuss in front of the emperor, he would most likely be lynched by the Imperial Army. As for the gendarmerie or the secret police, his life would be worse than death.
Just as the gatekeeper was about to speak, the boy said indifferently.
"I ask you why you don't let this gentleman in."
"He's a commoner. The gentlemen in the college don't think he's worthy of working here, so they don't let him in. I'm just following orders. Let me go."
The boy coughed impatiently, and the officer knowingly slapped the gatekeeper on the face.
"You answer what the Grand Duke asks."
The gatekeeper nodded quickly, not daring to say any more.
"Let me ask you again, did you beat this gentleman on your own initiative, or was it ordered by others?"
The gatekeeper hesitated.
"He...I...I just wanted to drive him away, I didn't think about anything else. Earl Efate said he didn't want to see him again, so I just..."
"Okay, you can shut up now."
The boy turned to the Custodian officer.
"Mr. Parrish, let him eat all his teeth. Tell Earl Efate that I don't want to visit him again today. Go and see the manor."
The teenager turned away and walked towards the fallen man, not watching Mr. Parrish execute.
"Sir, if you don't mind, you can come to my manor as a guest. There are the best doctors there who can help you."
"Thank you, you are such a nice person, my name is Christian Doppler, and I am a scholar." The man in winter only wearing a single coat replied.
Doppler? Isn't this one of the three unlucky guys in the history of the Austrian Empire? The other two are, Mendel the Father of Genetics and Tesla the Son of God.
The doorman just now actually hit the smartest head in Austria in this era, it was a waste of money.
However, the doorman was quickly punished. The two guards opened the doorman's mouth. Captain Parrish was very skillful. He raised the **** of his gun and slammed it hard. After three hits, he kicked it again.
Two guards wrapped a cloth belt around the guard's mouth and straightened his body. Captain Parrish hit him hard in the stomach with the **** of his gun. After a few rounds, the guard turned his eyes up and lost consciousness.
The imperial army moved quickly, and the battle was resolved before the military police came.
Parrish got on his horse and came to the captain of the gendarmerie and whispered a few words, and the captain of the gendarmerie naturally understood what it meant.
"Don't look at it, don't look at it, don't look at it! This person disturbs the public order and pollutes the public environment. Take me to the gendarmerie."
Several gendarmes couldn't help but put black hoods on the guards and threw them directly into the gendarmerie's carriage.
Franz invited Doppler to his six-horse carriage and asked him what happened and why he came to Vienna.
The improvised food was heated on the incubator, and Doppler's youngest daughter recovered under Talia's care.
The little girl is not sick, but hungry and weak. In addition, the child's metabolism is fast, and the blood sugar drops, which leads to palpitation, sweating, and body heat.
The little girl stared at the soup in the pot, with a lot of crumbs sticking to the corner of her mouth, and she was still holding half a steak in her hand.
Doppler on the side watched her daughter get better, relieved her nervous heart, and swallowed saliva unconsciously when she saw the food.
"Mr. Doppler, if you don't mind, you can eat some too." Franz said with a smile.
"What a shame, I'm not hungry."
Doppler said that he was not hungry, but his stomach growled uncontrollably.
Thalia on the side also laughed. She liked children very much and sympathized with the father who took care of the child. She rummaged through the boxes beside her for food.
There was only a box of foie gras and a bowl of fish soup left. Talia looked at Franz, who nodded.
Thalia poured the foie gras on the bread and handed it to Doppler, and put the fish soup on the heating box to heat up.
Doppler took the bread and began to eat it without caring about his image.
"Mr. Doppler, I would like to hire you as a professor at the Vienna Women's Academy."
Doppler almost choked to death, and Talia almost spit out the juice she just drank.
Vienna, Grand Hotel Caesar.
Fragments of exquisite porcelain were scattered all over the floor, and several servants had been smashed to the point that their faces were covered in blood, but these people did not even dare to wipe, for fear of arousing the wrath of the tyrant in front of them.
"Idiots! Idiots! Are you ashamed to call yourself an economist? If a fool buys the bottom, I will be better than you even if I hire a bunch of pigs! Where is my money! Where is my railway! If the Northern Railway is still in my hands, the Austrians , the Prussians, the French, and the whole of Central Europe all want to see my face!"
The veins on Solomon Rothschild's forehead popped up. This time Austria's biggest loser was the Rothschild Bank.
Solomon Rothschild was the first person in Austria to know that the London stock market had plummeted. In order to avoid emergency and to cut the leeks of the Austrian Empire like Nathan Rothschild, he put his name on All of his shares were sold to his partners.
He lost those hot potatoes, but his loyal partners were not so lucky.
Solomon Rothschild's friends went bankrupt or had to sell their assets at a low price in order not to drown in the financial tsunami.
In fact, Solomon Rothschild also lost a lot, conservatively estimated at around 10 million florins, while his friends lost tens of millions of florins.
Solomon Rothschild still remembered that when he first arrived in Vienna, he used the public debt of the Austrian Empire to eliminate the opponents of the Rothschild family in Vienna. The birth of the bank.
At that time, Solomon Rothschild almost destroyed the financial industry in Vienna, and a third of Vienna's banks went bankrupt.
Gjemil, with a history of 700 years, declared bankruptcy, and David Parrish, the patriarch of the Parish family who had served the Habsburg family for fifteen generations, jumped into the Danube because of bankruptcy.
Later, a public project that did not exist at all issued a bond of 10 million francs for the Duchess Marie-Louise, and Solomon earned 6 million francs.
Solomon Rothschild remembers ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Once upon a time he made money in the Austrian Empire, it was as easy as cheating candy from a child, how did he suddenly lose money?
Compared with the economic loss, Solomon Rothschild's loss of reputation is more serious.
Solomon Rothschild successfully killed a large number of long-established banks and financial families while transferring risks.
If it weren't for Franz's 67 million coins to save the market, then the Austrian Empire would definitely have a run on it like in history, and the impact of the economic crisis would last until 1838.
With the intervention of Franz on this plane, the Austrian Empire not only quickly stepped out of the shadow of the economic crisis, but also attracted some foreign investment in reverse.
Historically, the Austrian Empire did not have a close trade relationship with Britain and the United States, but it was the country that was most affected by the economic crisis in 1837 in the entire German Federation. It must be said that the smart Solomon Rothschild contributed a lot.
A wrong judgment by Solomon Rothschild directly triggered a financial crisis that shouldn't have happened.
But in the world of capital where the strong are always strong, Solomon Rothschild eventually became the winner. Not only did he take the opportunity to acquire a large number of excellent assets, he even forced the Habsburg royal family to grant him a license to buy land in the inner city of Vienna.
(At this time, the Jews of the Austrian Empire were not allowed to own land in the inner city of Vienna.)
In history, Solomon Rothschild took the opportunity to buy the Caesars Hotel that he had coveted for a long time.
But in this plane, he is just one of the many tenants of the Caesar Hotel, and at this time the other tenants downstairs are very unhappy with his abuse of porcelain.
Accompanied by the sound of the mop hitting the ceiling, a loud "Suka Bulie!" came from downstairs.
