Chapter 388： Benefit Catalyst (2/2)

This was originally for geniuses. In an era of limited educational resources, Austria adopted elite education.

The military school is the most obvious. Students who have received rigorous military training since childhood have an advantage, but this requires a lot of investment, which is not affordable for ordinary families.

No matter how high the average person's cultural score is, adding all the scores of various professional examinations is still the only fate. It can be said that the more subjects you take, the less chances for ordinary students.

Improve the quality of public education and increase the teaching of these specialized courses. It's a pity that this looks beautiful, just think about it.

An additional course means an increase in education expenditure. Compulsory education in accordance with the standards of noble children is enough for the Vienna government to go bankrupt ten times.

Unless there is an increase in the demand for ordinary talents in the society, it is not possible for universities to expand enrollment. Higher education in this era is too expensive.

Even if the children of the nobles can receive university education or military school education, they will not exceed 35%.

Of course, there are no restrictions on second-class technical colleges or pheasant universities, and you can study with money.

Baron Fickney said calmly, ”Really, I look really lucky!”

Viscount Olabi answered affirmatively: ”Of course!”

Bark Fickney took a sip of wine and continued to ask: ”Which Harrington service does he have, and is he ready to develop in the African continent, where the chances of making a war there are much greater?”

This is the baron of Fickney. There is no way. To obtain the support of colonial integration from the native nobility, it is natural to speak in their interests.

Most nobles will face a problem. There are many younger children, but only one title.

The eldest son inherited the title, so how can the next son be arranged?

According to the practice in the German region, they can also give them a fortune if they have money. Those who don't have the money either let them go out on their own or they send them to church to become priests.

After the Reformation, there was not so much oil and water in the church. The churches in the economically prosperous areas are okay, and some of them are for business. If you are unlucky, you can only eat the bran chow.

Going out, this is only suitable for settling down. Most of them use family connections to find a decent job for them. This is how aristocratic sidewalks or redemption of the middle class come about.

The indigenous opportunities are few and the competition is fierce, but it is different in the colonies. If you have a family, you are willing to smash resources to smash a title.

If the cooperation of the ground snake is obtained, this difficulty can still be reduced. After all, for the colonies, wars would happen every three to five.

In addition to gaining military merit, they can also enter the colonial government for development. Once the localization of the colonies is passed, these positions will rise.

Or do business in the colonies, open plantations, these are the roads, and the success is very high.

Olabi was tempted. He received the Baron Fickney at such a high standard. In addition to the cousin relationship between the two, he was also prepared to invest resources for several sons to obtain the title of nobility.

Don't look at his sons entering the military academy, the future looks bright. In fact, Olabi knows that too few people can mix up in peacetime.

Not to mention that the descendants of the Viscount, even when entering the army under the title of Duke, will not necessarily be able to mix into generals when they retire.

Without merit, everyone can only qualify.

After all, everyone has received military education since childhood, and no one's ability will be too bad. There is no way to prove that your ability is superhuman. Why promote you first?

The army is the place to speak with strength. The best way is to speak with military skill. Regrettably, the wars of this era, at most, bullied the indigenous people in the colonies.

Olabi thought for a while and said, ”It hasn't been determined yet. He's just an unrecruited recruit now, and he's at least half a year away from allocating troops.

If you get to an African colony, you will trouble your uncle. ”

There is no doubt that Olabi has not made up his mind.

As an old nobleman, he still has many contacts in the army. It is not difficult to use these relationships to determine his son's service.

But it is not so simple to promote the localization of colonies. Like many people, Olabi is also worried that after the colonization is localized, his industry will be impacted.

After all, there are not many other colonies, but more land. Once so much land is developed, it is estimated that agricultural products will be hit to the price of cabbage.

Without an accurate answer, Baron Fickney still responded in a handsome manner: ”Of course, I am his uncle!”

I can only sigh secretly in my heart, if I have not caught up with the good times, if the sons of Olabi are older, it will be fine.

It's best to just retire from the army and worry about the future. Then without him, the boys will help persuade his father.

At this banquet, Baron Fickney has already persuaded three nobles to support colonial localization, and these people were basically supported by the next generation.

The colony impacted indigenous agriculture, and that was the concern of nobles with a lot of land. If the land is gone, why bother with these?

After the land was redeemed, the land in the hands of the Austrian aristocracy was actually running out. By now, the land in the hands of the nobles has fallen to less than 20% of the total land area of ​​the country.

Since the opening of overseas colonies, including the royal family, many large aristocrats have been selling land in their hands.

This is determined by the benefits. With the funds for selling land, opening plantations overseas can often obtain a land area several times, or even a dozen times.

Although colonial lands are not valuable, they do not affect the value of cash crops produced by these lands. Perhaps the yield per acre of land is not as good as that of the native land, but it cannot hold more land!

When the quantity goes up, the income goes up. The emergence of large plantations has also promoted the advancement of agricultural farming technology.

The penetration of mechanized agriculture in Austrian Africa is rising. It's a pity that the internal combustion engine hasn't come out yet. The steam engine machinery is too bulky and not at all concerned.

Stimulated by interests, what really promoted the localization of the colonies behind the scenes was actually the big nobles headed by Franz.

It is just that everyone pays attention to the political influence and does not directly state their position. Instead, they launched Baron Fickney, these little aristocrats, to test their reactions.
