Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

From May to June, the amount of Prussia's foreign trade tripled. Auguste was finally able to replace her office of less than twenty square meters. After being the regent for so long, she always wanted to Money was a worry, and today August finally allocated money for the renovation of the Capitol building.

She had long been dissatisfied with the location and style of the Imperial Parliament. What kind of village office was this? Give it to me. I want to live in the White House. The church in any town is more luxurious than the one in Congress. Is that okay? This is not good.

In order to solve this problem, Auguste designated an area in the center of the city. She required that it must reflect various architectural styles such as classical, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque, as well as It is grand and spectacular, preferably on the hour, and must have a spirit of unity and unity to show the power of the German Empire.

Then August drew a sketch based on what he had seen of the Reichstag Building. Of course, this sketch was a bit too sketchy. When the people from the Ministry of Construction got this design, everyone was dumbfounded. You Let me see this and you think I'm a magician, right?

You can only say that August’s painting skills may not be very good. The things he draws only stay at the level that can be seen. He also likes to draw everything in a big way. The result is that the details are not drawn well and it is a waste of paper. , but who asked me to be the regent? What should I do? It can only be done.

Then, no matter which department the people from the construction department pass by, they will laugh out loud if they take a look inside.

Can you imagine a group of senior cartographers taking paper and pens to copy a thermos cup that looks like it was drawn by elementary school students who had nothing to do in class?

However, although there are so many things mentioned above, most people are actually quite happy. The current Prussian government can finally shout loudly, I have a lot of money.

Even the poorest worker in the Ruhr puffs up his chest when he speaks of the wealth and industry that Prussia now possesses.

August also struck while the iron was hot, and while his foreign exchange income continued to grow, he carried out the final suppression of the stubborn domestic forces. August's reputation among the people was also at its peak, and it had reached the point of being unstoppable.

The Prussia she took over was still a feudal agricultural country, but it transformed into a powerful industrial country in just a few years. Not only that, the people's income directly increased many times, the unemployment problem in the society was almost completely solved, and the people's wages It is also rising day by day.

Due to the crazy competition between domestic and foreign companies, Prussia’s population is not so large that it can’t be used up no matter how much it is used. Therefore, there are generally only two options: opening factories in other countries and raising wages for workers. Many people will choose the latter. , plus August gave workers the right to file a collective lawsuit, and capitalists who defaulted on wages would be punished. People in other countries said they had never seen it before. Why are these companies starting to compete for labor?

Originally, if you didn't want to do it, others would do it. Now, if you don't want it, others will.

Anyway, the positive feedback from the market has made all kinds of companies dig their heads out, but to be honest, it is still opportunism. Many people just follow the trend. Anyway, I heard that you can make money, go to the bank to bring some money, become your own boss, and speculate. Success means taking off from such a wonderful start. Failure in speculation means being heavily in debt and working as a nanny for the country for free.

Then came the redistribution of power. August divided the originally noisy parliament hall into two, imitating the United States and creating a bicameral system, the House of Representatives and the House of Lords. But in fact, it was more like the British parliamentary system. The House of Lords was some old A place where nobles and politicians retire. This chamber has the power of legislative supervision, and then there is no more. It is essentially a nominal institution. Generally speaking, it is of no use. It may occasionally vote or something, and the term is unlimited. If it can't be done, You can quit on your own and go home to collect your pension.

The House of Representatives, why not call it the House of Commons because it doesn’t sound good. Calling the House of Representatives sounds much more noble. This house is a serious parliament. It has legislative power, judicial power, and financial supervision power. Members are democratically elected by local councils. , those who can participate in the election are Prussian citizens between the ages of eighteen and sixty, five-year system, that is, the civil service group, their boss is the prime minister, now directly appointed by August.

But in fact, if you look at the regulations, you will know that this thing is of little use for the time being. Although it has legislative power, new laws or new constitutions must be omitted by the monarch or regent before they can be passed. Now that Walrich has been sidelined, Austria is actually Gust combines legislative power, judicial power, administrative power, and military power. He is the uncrowned emperor of the entire country.

All bills, decrees, and proposals must have the consent of Auguste. At the same time, Auguste is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy and Army of the General Staff. In the current situation, as long as she wants, she can immediately dissolve the parliament and put all the people together. The power was in her hands, something even her father couldn't do.

The figure of a dictator was about to emerge, but the Prussian people supported her. In order to persuade the civil servants to accept such regulations, August also conducted a poll like Napoleon. If Prussia could one day become an empire, who would you most like? Come and be the emperor.

Auguste's vote rate was as high as [-]%. Of course, this data is not necessarily the most objective, but it includes the proletariat, middle class, bourgeoisie, Junkers, landlords, aristocracy, workers, farmers, capitalists and politicians. After sampling from a large number of people, we finally got such a high score that even the relevant newspapers used an inappropriate metaphor. Who is the greatest man in Prussia? Frederick the Great can only be ranked second, and the first is Austria. Gust.

Of course, August does not plan to proclaim himself emperor so soon. After all, she has not unified Germany yet, nor has she dominated all of Europe. Moreover, she has not conquered Austria yet. If she proclaims herself emperor, she may compete with Austria in terms of claims. Conflict, Prussia is not yet ready to confront Austria.

In terms of military affairs, Ron also made major improvements. He boldly dismissed a large number of old-minded officers and replaced them with young officers. Among them, there were civilians who became captains. This was something that ordinary people could not even think of before. Dare to think about it. In the past, civilians could only become second lieutenants at most, but now they can all become captains.

Nowadays, the land of many big nobles has been diluted. Most of the land has been either sold or rented out to build factories. They have no desire for land, they just hope to make money. On the contrary, the Junkers want more. August also gave them the cultivated land, so they had no complaints, but if they moved forward, there would be no new Junkers.

However, according to the current situation in Prussia, Junckers can no longer be called Junkers, but should be called landed capitalists. Their serfs have all become workers, and the characteristics of Junckers have been lost.

However, there are still some unscrupulous Junckers. If you can’t afford the inheritance tax, it’s a shame. The land will be confiscated and returned to the country. Don’t occupy the manhole without shit.
