Chapter 630 Cutting Business
O'Connell hopes to use peaceful petitions to make the British understand that Irish lives matter.
However, although the momentum of this approach was huge, it had little effect, or it was well received but not popular. Although O'Connell was convinced that his actions would promote the British government and eventually allow Ireland to gain autonomy.
But the gentlemen in London actually don't care about the affairs of the Emerald Island. It is more important than the Indian subcontinent, the new territories of South America, the Near East, the Far East, Africa, and even Oceania.
However, it would be unfair to say that the United Kingdom has done nothing to Ireland over the years. In fact, the British government has long intervened in Irish affairs just to not violate the free trade theory.
Most of the British actions did not involve economics, and the most important measure was the Poor Law. This is a "poor man's law" modeled on British workhouses (asylums).
This completely outdated practice was supported by landowners and churches who felt it was the best way to liberate people from the bondage of the land, and the factory owners who formulated it were even more happy to see its results.
The Poor Law divided Ireland into 130 parish joint workhouses. Each workhouse set up a poor workhouse to provide food and accommodation for the poor, but they were required to work to repay it.
This seems to be very similar to the work-for-relief system that became more popular in later generations, but there is a problem here: the almshouse does not give money, but room and board.
This has not improved the living conditions of the poor, but has placed a heavy burden on local governments. In order to facilitate management, the local government implemented iron-fist management of the poor institutions.
At the same time, since the workhouses were borne by the local finance, the management of the workhouses became a business again. The nobles and capitalists will certainly not manage these poor people personally. To implement effective management, they must find some people who can intimidate them.
Then those hooligans and scoundrels who usually do mischief suddenly turned into managers of the workhouse, holding whips and rulers in their hands. I don't know if they thought these people were overseers.
This group of people managed the workhouse, and one can imagine the life there, with endless abuse, extortion, and violations, but neither the police nor the compatriots turned a blind eye to these.
Therefore, only the elderly, sick, orphans or those who are really desperate will enter it, but they all hate it deeply.
There was once a noble young man who ran away from home and fled into the workhouse. When he was found a year later, he was already crazy, had lost his left eye and all his teeth, only the index finger of his left hand was left, and his right leg had rotted and deformed.
The workhouse is most often described as a devil's cave, a bottomless abyss.
Facts have proved that it was a very wise decision for Franz to hand over the management of the entertainment industry to Carmela Sittles, Credia, Tina, and Froglova.
These people are ambitious, courageous, capable, and far beyond ordinary people's knowledge. Coupled with a little support from Franz, the value created is very gratifying.
However, Franz still has to put a lock on them. After all, Franz is a member of the royal family and may be an emperor in the future, not a businessman. Stability and sustainability are much more important than short-term profits.
Pereny Schafer, the eleventh daughter of the famous Schafer family patriarch, Chaba Schafer, is a Hungarian. She is considered Thalia's favorite student. She graduated from the Royal Academy for Women in Vienna and is good at mathematics and economic theory. , banking
When he graduated, he received S-level evaluations in multiple subjects. This was the evaluation standard specifically given by Franz, which means "existence beyond ordinary people." Grade A means very good and has great potential in the future.
Level B is good, capable of doing most jobs, and has the value of continued training. Level C is just passed, and after training, it is enough to be qualified for most jobs. The potential is not high and the instructor is not optimistic about it.
It's just that such a genius is not welcomed at home. After Peraini entered the school, the only contact between her family and her family was the tuition and living expenses for each semester.
It took Pereni a year to complete the difficult problem that Franz set for her, which surprised Franz. After all, the protagonists in rags-to-riches stories usually have to go through a lot of hard work.
But this is a good thing for Franz, after all, the more people available, the better.
Peraini's appearance can only be described as average. The standard noble lady's attire cannot be called ugly, but it is definitely not beautiful. Coupled with a pair of thick glasses, he looks completely incompatible with the word "genius".
Pereny Shaffer still had certain requirements for her boss. Before Franz could speak, she took out a paper first.
The atmosphere at that time was awkward. Franz looked at Thalia, who looked at the ceiling with wandering eyes. It was obvious that she didn't know that Pereni would do this.
Bordeaux felt greatly offended, but was stopped by Adjani on the side. After all, she didn't think Franz would mind, and she also wanted to see where Franz's limit was.
Fortunately, Franz knew most of them, and it took about two-quarters of an hour to finish the paper.
Pereni on the side wanted to take the paper, but Franz started checking again. After another two quarters of an hour, Franz finally finished checking.
But at this time, everyone around him had already dozed off. After all, no one dared to disturb Franz, so everyone could only wait silently.
Franz had no choice but to poke Pereny, and the latter came to her senses and took the paper apologetically.
"If it were my mentor, Mr. Böhm-Bawerk, who would judge you, you would probably fail. But I admit that you are indeed a monster beyond common sense as Miss Thalia said."
Peraini's voice was loud and she sounded very excited. This was perhaps the first time she found someone with similar views to her own, and who had a more complete and better theory.
Franz was noncommittal about this evaluation and looked at Thalia aside, who was already ready to run away.
"Thalia, if one day I become a legend, you must have a share of credit for it. If I remember correctly, you were the one who spoke of the authoritarian demon last time."
Thalia could only smile awkwardly and pretend that nothing happened.
There is no doubt that Pereny Shaffer is very talented, but it will take time to test whether she can control the four former chiefs.
After all, these people are strong people, and it is not easy to agree with each other.
Carmela Settles is an iceberg beauty with elegant temperament. Her deep eyes and calm personality make it hard to believe that she grew up in a slum, but she is also the least individual among them, obedient and easy to control.
Cretia is young, beautiful, passionate and unrestrained. These two words are vividly reflected in her. At the same time, she is also vain, greedy for money and power, but she is not stupid. She knows how to get the maximum benefit. She is a typical "dancing girl".
Tina, the shortest among the four, always looks pitiful and cute, with a Lolita attitude. It's just that she is actually the oldest among the four. She is already 23 years old and is an expired lolita.
Flegelova, a gypsy, exudes a sense of mystery and danger everywhere. In fact, she is also the most cunning of the four. She is convinced of Franz's identity and has an almost paranoid worship.
