Chapter 742 Competition Is Everywhere
As the old man left, the atmosphere became particularly heavy.
A middle-aged man shouted: "Master Sith, wait."
A yin and yang voice sounded: "Stop shouting, they are nobles, not the same as us. Don't block their way to wealth."
It seems that he deliberately raised his voice for fear that the old man would not be able to hear it.
The middle-aged man reprimanded: "Fickel, shut up! Lord Sith is not that kind of person.
Some time ago, the Russians arrested the guerrillas, or the Sith master came forward to solve it, otherwise we would be miserable. "
"That's right, Master Sith is a good man. My son was sick a year ago, and he was the doctor he helped find."
"Fickel, I remember that your hands and feet are not clean, and you were taught by Sith Master, you are..."
...
It can be seen that the old Sith's reputation in the small town is still very good, and the young men of Fickel are quickly overwhelmed by the accusations.
Under normal circumstances, Fekker would never dare to show hostility to a noble, otherwise he would die.
This situation changed with the arrival of the Russians, because the local aristocracy was severely suppressed by the tsarist government because of the opposing relationship in the war.
Fickel sneered: "What about Master Sith, he is now a lost dog, he can't even keep his family's inheritance, and he still pretends to be an aristocrat.
The Russians took his land, and now he wants us to give it up together, why? "
Seeing that everyone's eyes were full of murderous aura, Fekir's arrogance was extinguished a lot, perhaps because he couldn't save face, he still said firmly:
"Don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth, just wait, maybe one day we'll be sold to the Russian master by him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a fist flew in the face, and before he understood what was going on, Fickel fainted gorgeously.
"Walkoff, great job. This fly is the most annoying thing. If it wasn't for this bastard who didn't know Russian, he would have gone to the Russians long ago."
Everyone nodded one after another. Obviously, everyone had no good impression of Fekker, a street gangster.
...
In a classical house on the east side of the town, the old Sith Baron asked with concern, "Wright, are you ready?"
Wright replied, "It's ready and ready to go at any time.
It's just father, we can just leave by ourselves, why do we need to bring these wastes? "
Obviously, Wright was extremely reluctant to the old man preparing to leave with the townspeople.
The old Sith shook his head: "Wright, you are still too young. These wastes in your mouth are the foundation for our comeback.
Leaving here, we will no longer be high-ranking fief aristocrats. There is only one despicable nobleman left. You have seen how things are going. "
People leave their hometowns and so do nobles. Once it loses its foundation, it is actually a little stronger than ordinary people.
In this war, the Prussian Kingdom was severely damaged. Berlin has gathered nobles from all over the world, and the competition has become extremely fierce.
A little political advantage is no longer enough to make them stand out and live a prosperous life.
If you leave the Kingdom of Prussia, this political advantage is also lost.
Of course, this does not mean that the name of the nobility is useless. With this name, they can also reach higher circles and integrate into the local area more easily.
The premise is that people recognize their aristocratic status. There is no Internet identity check these days, and it is not easy to admit your aristocratic status.
It doesn't matter if the great nobles have deep roots, they have many powerful relatives, and they are brought into the circle by relatives and friends, and the famous family name is the best proof.
Small nobles like the Sith can't do it. They don't have a great ancestor. The family name is limited to a corner, and no one has heard of it after leaving West Prussia.
If you don't bring a bunch of people to help promote it, how can you let others know your aristocratic status?
Looking at the confused son, old Sith sighed. Some words can only be comprehended by oneself, and if they are spoken from the mouths of others, the effect will not be so great.
They are going to Austrian Africa this time, and they don't have to pay for the immigration costs themselves. Going with everyone, except for a little trouble, there is no need to pay any price at all.
Not to mention selling favors, just bringing so many people over to improve their status in the eyes of the colonial government is enough to make the Sith do it.
Noble reputation is very valuable, a good reputation can make them easily enter the noble circle.
Wright complained: "Then they have to be willing to do it. They don't appreciate it. Why should we get together and make fun of ourselves!"
Officials from the Austrian Immigration Service have already come to publicize it, and those who are willing to immigrate have signed up to leave early, and now the rest belong to family lovers.
"Love home" is not only because of nostalgia, but also because of the fact that there is an industry here. If you leave here, you have to start over.
Glancing at his son, the old Sith said helplessly: "Idiot, who can withstand such a tossing by the Russians.
At this point in time, how many families have not been hollowed out?
Now it's not a question of whether you want to leave or not, but the Russians are driving people away, and if they stay, they will become serfs. "
"Serf" is an exaggeration. The Russian Empire also abolished serfdom, but contract labor is not much better than serfs, and in a sense, it is worse.
seem
What came to mind, Wright asked in disbelief: "You mean, the Russians and Austria..."
The old Sith cursed angrily: "Shut up, can this be said nonsense! Wright, you remember it for me, the calamity comes out of your mouth!
If you haven't lived enough, just keep your mouth shut, don't talk nonsense, not even think nonsense. "
What the truth was, the old Sith didn't know, and didn't want to know. Sometimes knowing too much is a sin.
Seeing his dejected son, Old Sith couldn't bear it. After hesitating for a moment, he still held back his words of comfort.
Wright is his third and youngest son. He just turned sixteen this year and has not had time to experience the ups and downs of society.
Under normal circumstances, it would not be Wright's turn to be in charge. It is a pity that in this war, the eldest son of the old Sith died in the battle, and the second son was seriously injured.
A sudden change happened, and the old Sith had to speed up the training of his youngest son. After all, the average life expectancy is short these days, and the old Sith is already over sixty years old, and his health is not as good as before.
In the Prussian region, there are many families similar to the old Sith, and many aristocratic families have changed their heirs.
It is good to have many sons of this kind, but the most miserable are the nobles who are only sons in their families. If they die in battle, they will be extinct, and that is a tragedy in the world.
What happened in Mordo was just a small episode. Since the Russians began to enfeoff the nobility, the former Prussian nobility panicked and began to find a way back.
There are only so many local resources, and it is impossible to support too many nobles, and competition is unavoidable.
No matter how big the heart is, they know that these "hostile" elements, the tsarist government can't wait to get rid of them, how can they compete with other people's direct lineage?
If you take the initiative to find a way to leave, you can also take away some of the family property. When people's patience is exhausted, they may be extinct.
...
The docks along the Baltic Sea are busy again, and there are more ships coming and going than before the war, as if the prosperity of the past has been restored.
Unfortunately, this prosperity is an illusion. The port city that was full of traffic in the evening has now turned into a refugee camp.
Astute Russian officials have rented unowned houses in the city, along with vacant lots outside the city, to the Austrian Immigration Service to house migrants who are about to leave.
Immigration has never been easy. These days, ships have limited passenger capacity. Ordinary merchant ships can only transport hundreds of immigrants at a time, and the most can only carry more than 1,000 people.
This is already the limit, and increasing the number of people is not transporting migrants, but selling piglets.
People are not goods, they must have a certain space for movement. Too much density can easily increase mortality.
On a gray day, the old Sith arrived at the port of Kołobrzeg with a family of young and old, plus the residents of the town who had been fooled, and joined the queue waiting for immigrants.
There are often rows of tents, and the old Sith frowned, and he couldn't bear to back down even here.
After tidying up his clothes and wearing his family crest, Old Sith bravely walked towards the immigration registration office.
Seeing that the visitor was a noble, the staff responsible for the registration said politely: "Your Excellency, Baron, this is the place for the settlement of civilians, and the reception for the nobles is located in the city.
There will be a special receptionist in the city, who will arrange accommodation that suits your identity, and you can bring your family there with you. "
Hearing this news, the old Sith's expression softened. He was really scared, and the Immigration Department placed him with the commoners, which meant that his aristocratic status was abolished.
Without this amulet, it would be difficult to get a foothold in a foreign country.
After a few words, the old Sith left the army with his family. The staff's words are very clear. If you bring your family to go there, that means other people don't have to go there.
Not unexpectedly, as a baron, the old Sith family obtained a separate courtyard as a temporary residence.
Basic daily necessities are readily available, just need a maid. These are all small problems. If you want to immigrate and leave, you will have to bring your family with you. Naturally, there is no shortage of servants.
After settling down, the old Sith was not idle, and the first thing he did was stop by.
The circle of aristocrats can be said to be big or small, and the connections of big aristocrats are all over the world, and the circle of small aristocrats is at the door of the house.
The old Sith was not a big aristocrat, and his social circle was naturally not large, but he still had a familiar face in the aristocratic circle in West Prussia.
When I was in my hometown, I didn't think it was very important. I left my homeland and went to a foreign country. This is an important network resource.
Holding a group is also human nature.
For several days, the old Sith took his son to attend the noble banquet, and he really made a lot of friends.
If it weren't for the fact that the family was not rich and that future development would require a large amount of start-up capital, the old Sith would have wanted to hold a banquet.
Of course, this is not possible. The price of the Kołobrzeg port controlled by the Russians is more than ten times higher than in normal times, and it is specially aimed at these local tyrants.
The Austrian Immigration Service only provides the most basic living necessities. You need to pay for your own food, not to mention hosting a banquet.
In addition to the high expenses, there must be enough connections to be able to withstand the Russians running over to fight the autumn wind.
The tsarist government was poor, and the newly appointed aristocrats, apart from their fiefs, did not pay any bounty at all, and many nobles were poor ghosts.
In order to get rich, these people's bottom line is not very high. The ongoing advance tax collection was created by these people.
simply used
At lunch, the old Sith was thinking about future development plans, and the butler's voice sounded in his ear.
"Baron, I just received news that the residents of Mordo Town will leave the ship in three days, and we will have to wait a week.
I have already asked someone, and the colonial government likes to disperse and resettle immigrants in the same area, basically there are no exceptions. "
Old Sith's face changed greatly, "Disperse and resettlement" means that all his previous plans have to be pushed back.
If you want to take the town residents as the foundation and quickly gain a foothold in unfamiliar areas, it is impossible to implement it now.
The old man became mature and experienced a lot of various things. The old Sith quickly calmed down and began to analyze the cause and effect.
He soon found the reason. On the one hand, the colonial government did not want them to form a group, so as not to increase the difficulty of ruling.
On the other hand, it is also the main reason. Now is not the time when the colony was just established, and basically there are nobles taking root in every region.
As vested interests, these people naturally don't want to add a share of the cake, and it is really normal to restrict them as outsiders.
People are open and aboveboard, and the reasons are very good. Thinking of this, the old Sith couldn't help showing a hint of bitterness.
A momentary loss of eternal hatred. When the Austrian African colonies were opened up, he was also qualified to participate, and even went to the African continent to investigate.
It's just that he was arrogant at the time, not optimistic about the development of Austrian Africa, and wanted to build the Great Prussian Empire.
However, after decades of tossing and turning, he finally ended up leaving his hometown. Under the pressure of survival, he had to set foot on this land again.
If you miss the start-up period, you will not be able to get the original shares, and you will join in after the company becomes bigger, and the treatment will naturally not be comparable to that of the previous shareholders.
The first group of people who took root in Austrian Africa have now become the direct line of Austria and belong to the foundational force of the colonial government.
These latecomers, at best, are the icing on the cake. For the colonial government, it was good to have immigrants like them, but life would still be the same without them.
Knowing, knowing, Austrian Africa is still the best choice for the old Sith. The world is cruel, and there is competition everywhere.
I can't stay in my hometown, and the European continent is experiencing an economic crisis. I can't even find a job if I stay, so I can only go overseas to make a living.
If you don't go to Austrian Africa, where the cultural traditions are the same, and where you can't speak the language, it will be difficult to survive.
