Chapter 172 Only the Benefits Are Eternal

Lack of money was a big problem, and even though Fickwena was a well-earned writer, she couldn't afford to pay for the school either.

Fundraising? If you study the reasons for the establishment of the Hungarian National School, you are right. It is impossible to raise funds now.

This has something to do with the Great Revolution of 1848. Those who strongly advocate the promotion of the Hungarian language and writing are mostly inclined to the revolutionary party. Almost all of these people have seen God or are fighting for the Austrian railway business.

The people who got away with it were mostly moderates. These people were often cautious, and there were not many people who could not afford the expense.

The Hungarian language and writing took shape over ten centuries. The origin is very early in the 9th century AD. In the Middle Ages, there were already 800 words, mainly from the Turkic language family, the Caucasian language family, and many loanwords from the Romance language family, Slavic language family, and German.

In 1836, Hungary launched the language revolution, and the later Hungarian language was basically formed at this time. In 1844, Hungarian became the official language of Hungary.

Most of the Hungarian nobles come from the German region. Many of these nobles can speak Hungarian, but few have learned the Hungarian script. Hungarian is mainly circulated among the people at the bottom.

In this context, Istvan Szechenyi established the Hungarian National School to promote the Hungarian language and writing in the upper and middle classes.

If history does not change, this kind of language school will blossom everywhere in Hungary, laying the foundation for the later Hungarian national culture.

This is also one of the reasons why the later Istvan Szechenyi was called: "the greatest man in Hungary".

In fact, he has made many contributions to Hungary, such as: establishing the Academy of Sciences, establishing the noble club, promoting the abolition of slavery...

But history has no ifs. Under the butterfly effect of Franz, the great Hungarian nationalist saw God in advance.

The tree fell and scattered. Without this leader, the remaining nationalists became a mess. Coupled with the suppression of the Austrian government, many speculators withdrew from the national movement.

With the changing social situation, nobles and capitalists have been reluctant to let their children continue to learn the Hungarian language and script. They are worried that this educational experience will reduce the chances of the next generation to enter the university, and donations are naturally out of the question.

Without the support of the sponsor, these schools are naturally in trouble and have to accept the order of the Austrian Ministry of Education.

Pest, once the most glorious city in Hungary, has now fallen. For political reasons, the Austrian government did not allocate funds to rebuild Budapest after the war, and it is now split into two cities again.

The aristocratic club, which used to be lively in the past, is now deserted. Stepping into the door, I looked at a few acquaintances scattered inside, and most of the rest were raw faces. Fickwena's fiery heart has cooled down.

Even after three years have passed, there is still no recovery here. As the former capital of Hungary, the local aristocracy was severely damaged, and many ancient aristocrats disappeared.

The reason that so many people can gather today is because the famous Hungarian Liszt came to perform, and everyone came for his fame.

Don't look at how many people there are, but there are not many people who are willing to raise money for ethnic schools. If they were all the way, Fickwena wouldn't be ignorant. After all, the circle of nationalist moderates is not big.

The drunken and feasting life is still the same, as if nothing happened. In the end, Fickwena still did not speak, and the arrogance of the literati did not allow him to make a fool of himself.

The government established Austrian as the lingua franca and announced the abolition of the dialect press, but these people did not respond; the abolition of dialect education in schools did not impress these people either.

I don't know when it started, Fickwena also accepted the "dialect".

Of course, it is not wrong to say that it is a dialect. Hungarian is mainly concentrated in the Hungarian region, and less than one-fifth of the entire Austrian Empire uses it.

A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes came over and said hello: "Fikovina, come have a drink!"

Fickwenna raised the wine glass in her hand, touched the middle-aged man, then took a sip in a graceful manner, and said, "Hanks, long time no see, what are you doing?"

Hanks said with a smile: "It's true that I haven't seen you for a few days, and I've been stocking up recently. It's no secret that the Vienna government intends to attack the Ottoman Empire and is stockpiling strategic supplies, so I took a sip of soup by the way.

How about you? Why are you frowning and still feeling sorry for your tabloid office?

Don't think too much, this is the decision of the National Assembly, which cannot be changed, and is said to be to advance the Austrian integration process. "

Fickwena shook her head and said, "It's not like you don't know about my half-dead tabloid office, it doesn't make any money at all, and it's closed when it's closed.

However, if this goes on, our Hungarian national culture will be finished. Newspapers, books are banned, and the only remaining ethnic school in Pest City has now abolished the Hungarian language.

I'm really worried..."

Hanks immediately changed his face and said: "Stop, this issue ends here. Unifying the language is the general trend, don't think about these messy things.

Think about it, before that, there were 15 major languages ​​and scripts in just one Hungarian region. Back then, you advocated the need to unify the languages, but now you can't?

Your mentality has not been corrected, it is best to unify the language and characters, and we can save a lot of translation fees, which is a matter of benefiting the country and the people.

 …”

Fickwena was a little dumbfounded, she was educated. He regretted communicating with this old friend. Now this old friend has changed. Capitalists always seek profit.

At first these people were the most opposed to the Austrian government, and now they have become the most supportive of the Austrian government. The world is impermanent, as long as the interests are eternal.

After reunification, Austria has far surpassed the original Hungary in terms of market, economic development speed and potential.

For the capitalists, Austria at this time is undoubtedly the best era. As long as there is no problem with your brain, you can almost make money by investing in any industry now.

The term "overheating economy" has never been heard of. It is only considered that the natural growth of the economy after the Austrian government removed the obstacles to the development of the capitalist economy.

From the perspective of a free market economy, this statement is also true. The large influx of foreign capital is also determined by the market economy, and the government's policy factors only account for a small part.

"Well, when I didn't say anything, drink!" Fickwena said helplessly

If you can't change the society, you can only adapt to the society. In his heart, why didn't he agree with this statement?

The Habsburg dynasty has ruled Hungary for not a day or two, and everyone has long been accustomed to being a part of Austria.

independent? The farce from the beginning to the end in just a few months caused hundreds of thousands of casualties, nearly a million people were homeless, and the nobles in the Hungarian region were directly reduced by half.

Such a huge loss, and now the people who survived the catastrophe are talking about the revolution. It is no secret how the army who built the railway came from, and the Hungarian region contributed at least 200,000 people.

This kind of living example has already let everyone know that rebellion has a price. Without the support of interest groups, the so-called revolutionaries have no room for survival in Hungary.

Hungary, from top to bottom, hated them to the core.

In the eyes of the people at the bottom, it is these chaotic party members who are exploiting and crushing them. The rebellion was launched because the emperor forbade them to oppress and exploit them.

The proof is: after the chaotic party was suppressed, everyone's life was much better. The serfs were freed, the workers had labor protection laws, and the messy exorbitant taxes were swept away.

Of course, this is the result of the propaganda of the Austrian government. No matter how many people at the bottom, they don't understand the profound truth, but they believe it when the reality is in front of them.

The nobles who escaped the catastrophe did not dare to provoke the majesty of the government. Under the guidance of people with a heart, the most popular saying now is that if it were not for the rebellion of the revolutionary party, they would not lose their land and privileges.

Believe it or not, they have nothing to do with the government, they can only engage in hatred to transfer Dafa. No one knew what was going on in his heart, and he had already put all the blame on the chaotic party.

Not to mention the citizens who suffered heavy losses, who had personally experienced how terrifying the rabble revolutionary army was. With the pain of the skin, it is natural to be hostile to the revolutionary party.

This hatred will slowly disappear over time, but not with this generation. People will believe what they have seen with their own eyes and experienced it once, and this concept has been engraved in their bones.

The environment can affect people very much, and a moderate like Fickwena has begun to change.

In the age of chaotic thinking, once there is doubt about the previous idea, then change is not far away.

Hanks, who thought he had persuaded his friend, said happily: "Okay, drink!"

After taking a sip of wine, he added: "If you want to resume the publication, it's not impossible. Just go to the News Bureau for the record and change it to Austrian."

Fickwenna nodded. Although the newspaper office was half-dead, it was also a reflection of his status. It was best to keep nature. Ideals always had to compromise with reality.
