Chapter 416 I Am the Butcher [Update]

Trade surplus is the pursuit of many countries, but it is not the bigger the better.

The most direct impact is that it will lead to the deterioration of international relations. Yes, the money is earned by one side, what about the other countries in the alliance.

This is not a good thing for Austria, so Franz wants to take this opportunity to balance the international balance of payments, and at the same time disperse the inflationary pressure to the whole of Central Europe.

In this way, the pressure of inflation will be much smaller. If only Austria bears it, it will be a very terrible situation.

In fact, for most of the 19th century, all countries were in a state of deflation.

However, Austria's expected banknotes have alleviated this situation to a certain extent. At this time, spreading the state of inflation to surrounding countries has also promoted the prosperity of the entire Central European economy.

While representatives of various countries were talking happily in the temporary headquarters in Vienna, the price of expected banknotes on the black market had fallen below 0.4.

However, this is nothing for ordinary Austrians. They will not sell their hard-earned money at a discount, and they don't know that there is a black market.

The slight increase in commodity prices is not obvious, and as the goods from the German states enter the Austrian market, the prices quickly return to normal.

(Those who hoarded goods could no longer hold back.)

The common people enjoyed the welfare of the country and the glory of the previous victory (Luxembourg crisis), and they did not know what was happening.

The doomsday that the rich had anticipated did not come, and trade between Austria and the states continued.

However, many bankers lined up to jump into the Danube, which benefited the ferocious freshwater fish in the Danube.

There are actually many ferocious freshwater fish in the Danube, such as the Taimen salmon, also known as the "sea beast", which is fast, has many teeth, and is ferocious, but there are few records of hurting people, mainly because this thing likes to wander in deep waters and has little interaction with humans.

And people usually see Taimen salmon on the dining table, because this thing grows fast and has delicious meat, so it is eaten and becomes a protected animal.

With this incident, there will be almost no pressure on the exchange of expected banknotes in the next five years. Because the largest buyer of expected banknotes on the black market is Franz.

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Franz's family was having a meal together, and the main dish was a four-meter-long Taimen salmon.

In order to cook this fish, a total of three chefs were mobilized, five kilograms of various spices, and a specially made pot.

A fish weighing more than 100 kilograms could not be eaten by just these few people in Franz's family. So everyone who saw it had a share, and the chef and maid in charge of cooking, as well as the guards on duty, all praised the taste of the fish.

Franz also tasted it, and it was indeed delicious.

At the same time, the Lion King Pride Hotel.

Solomon looked at the sky in confusion and let out a long breath. Vienna has always been so noisy recently, the famous music played by those wandering artists is so harsh, and the happy crowds in the streets and alleys seem to be laughing at him.

Looking at the golden fried shrimp in front of him, Solomon has no appetite at all.

"Why? This country hasn't fallen yet"

Thun Street, Grizzly Hotel.

Soros only drank some water, and his face was not good. Ferona even thought he was sick, but Soros just waved his hand.

"We didn't get nothing this time. At least we bought this hotel. I think the price of this hotel will double in a few years."

Ferona didn't know how to persuade her husband who refused to admit defeat, so she nodded. To be honest, tens of thousands of florins can't affect them, but it is indeed a good opportunity to miss.

If they could buy at the bottom when the expected currency fell to the bottom, they must have made a lot of money.

This battle was without gunpowder, and few people even knew about it, but its cruelty was no less than any war that the Austrian Empire had participated in before.

In fact, this was also a screening.

Those nobles and rich people who were not optimistic about Austria, their money in their hands once again transferred to the diehards of the empire.

The transfer of social wealth is inevitably accompanied by changes in social customs. Nationalism has risen again. They think that the best way to unite the German nation is to let Austria unify Germany.

The secret police is the most criticized point of Austria, but in the mouth of nationalists, it has become a necessary means to maintain "justice" and "order".

Other countries simply do not have enough power, let alone the ability. Because other countries are simply unable to protect the German Confederation, it is even more impossible to create a country where all Germans feel safe and happy.

As a national economist, Böhm-Bawerk knows much more than ordinary people. Although he does not know all the contents, he knows that it is still the royal family that protects Austria this time.

Nationalists have used all kinds of flattering words for Austria and the Habsburg family, but both Metternich and Franz are very wary of them, and they still need to arrest and deal with them.

The nobles strongly demanded the restoration of the Holy Roman Empire. They missed the glory of the past (the days when they were domineering), and they also believed that the Habsburg family could complete this mission again.

The Austrian aristocracy has always been tied to the Habsburg family. They naturally hope that the royal family will be as strong as possible, so that they can not only block the challenge of the emerging bourgeoisie, but also let them have a share.

Then, due to the special environment in Austria, progressive nationalists and aristocrats who wanted to reverse course united together.

Vienna, Royal Academy for Women.

The library is large, but there are not many people there. Oshio Sugione may have been the first Japanese woman to complete her studies at a Western university, but she still failed Franz's assessment.

Failure means that she is not qualified to stay by Franz's side, which is really a pity for Oshiosugine.

If anyone else in the world said she was unqualified, she would definitely be unconvinced, but only Franz convinced Oshiosugin.

But she is not completely useless. Franz plans to give Oshio Shanyin a task.

Conquer Japan.

This may not be a big deal to Franz, it may just be that he has no time or no interest.

Oshio Shanyin thought this way, and she felt that this was her fate.

The flame of revenge has never been extinguished in her chest, preferring destruction to saving her. Yamato Nadeshiko's usual behavior is just to cater to Franz's preferences.

Oshio Shanyin still remembers the miserable conditions of the villagers. They were beaten to death with iron cannons, stabbed to death with spears, beheaded, and locked in houses and burned alive.

Those images and sounds were still clear even after so many years, and she could even call those people's names.

But it doesn't matter anymore. Oshiosugin just wants to complete her mission at the moment, and she can use all means to do so, even if it means sacrificing herself.

However, Franz said that "the time has not come yet", and before that she would continue to prepare for the conquest of Japan.
