Among the series of cooperation agreements reached by France and Austria, the most invested one is the plan to build a railway from Lubin to the Oder River. As long as this railway is available, copper produced from Lubin can be transported to the docks on the Oder River and loaded on barges. Then, these barges follow the Oder River to the Baltic Sea under the tugboats, and then transported to all parts of Europe.

This railway will make Lubin's copper ore more fully utilize, and copper ore can be transported into smelters more easily, and other raw materials required for smelting are also easier to send in. In addition, the latest refinery, as well as the power plants and other facilities will be built in this area one after another. According to the plan of both parties, the Lubin area will soon become the most important copper production center in the whole of Europe, and will bring a lot of income to Austria every year.

However, this plan has been opposed by many people. This is normal, because such actions will always be accompanied by changes in the distribution of interests. Once there is a change in the distribution of interests, there will naturally be people whose interests are damaged, and then there will naturally be dissatisfaction and anger.

It is said that if the cake can be made larger, in theory, everyone can get far more than before. In this way, even if the distribution ratio changes from the previous one, because there are more things to be assigned, those who generally do not have much opinion on the proportion of distribution.

But this is just an ideal state, because even if the cake is big, it may not necessarily make everyone get more shares when distributing. Matthew says: "Everything that has should be doubled and he should be given excess; what is not, even what he has to do will be taken away." And in the distant East, a great philosopher also said: "One of the most fundamental laws of mankind is to take away what is originally few of the poor and give it to the rich."

Therefore, when dividing the cake, although the cake is theoretically much larger, many people can’t get anything when distributing it.

Not only can you get nothing, but you can even bear the losses when making cakes.

When building a railway, the first thing is naturally to acquire land.

Lubin was originally the territory of the Kingdom of Poland. After Poland's fall of the country, it was Austria. However, the property rights of the land were basically from those of the Polish nobles.

If in France, most of the land is already state-owned, and the original owner of the land either goes to the guillotine or is hung on a street lamp, it is of course convenient to acquire land. If in the core territory of Austria, those lands are also of great nobles, and everyone can share the interests equally and be honest and reasonable. But in Lubin, Polish nobles can also be considered nobles? They also want to get money as reasonable as the German-speaking nobles? How is this possible?

Generally speaking, although bullying may not be considered the basis of happiness, it must be admitted that bullying itself can bring real happiness even if it does not involve interests. If you can gain benefits while bullying others, then not bullying the weak is simply contrary to "human nature". In contrast, although the Polish nobles are perfect strong people when facing Polish serfs, they immediately become weak, pitiful and helpless in front of those who can participate in such a business.

This helplessness can be understood as no one will help them; it can also be understood as the land has been expropriated but there is no subsidy. Yes, there is no subsidy, and the price of expropriated land is very cheap. The reason is naturally because the land cannot grow crops well, and the harvest is limited, which is not worth it. As for why the land cannot grow crops well, this is indeed a problem. The copper mines here have not been discovered yet, and mines, copper smelting plants and other things have not been established yet, the harvest of the land here is actually OK. However, since the mines and factories have been established, the land here has gradually grown crops, not even just crops, but even strange things have occurred in nearby rivers - the mysterious death of creatures in the river, the residents of the downstream have suffered from strange diseases, and the plants along the coast are constantly mutating. Is it a witch casting a spell curse, or is the national football team washing their feet across time and space?

Anyway, the land there is no longer valuable. Of course, the land acquisition price given by the Austrian great nobles who participated in railway projects is even less valuable than it is worthless, so the Polish nobles finally became angry.

However, the great nobles of Habsburg did not care about the anger of these Polish barbarians. In their opinion, the wrath of the Polish nobles was to be free from the robbery and to seize the land with their heads.

Generally speaking, the great Habsburg nobles have good judgments. Polish nobles are originally a group of cowardly and useless waste. In this world, no regime can protect their interests more than the regimes of the Polish Kingdom. However, in the process of Poland's demise, most nobles have never dared to stand up and fight for their motherland that truly belonged to them. What if they were angry like this group of cowards? The biggest possibility is that, as Master Lu said, "pull the blade at the weaker ones" and vent their anger with the Polish tenant farmers.

If everything is normal, this should be the final result. However, the sudden participation of certain forces has caused some changes in the situation.

First, the Pope announced an investigation into Emperor Franz II, which in a sense seriously weakened the emperor's authority. So some of the Hungarian nobles couldn't help but want to move.

At the time of Joseph II, the pioneer emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, he worked hard to implement reforms. He established German immigration areas in Galicia, Bukovina, Hungary and Sibenbirgen, rewarding the development of German aristocratic real estate and German capital in the dependent areas, and prioritizing the recruitment of German people as civil and military officials; implementing tariff protection policies, rewarding the development of industry and commerce, and increasing fiscal revenue; in 1781, the "Tolerance Order" on religious policies was issued, and from 1781 to 1782, the decree abolished the personal dependence relationship of peasants in hereditary territory, and in fact abolished the serfdom.

However, Joseph II's reforms violated the interests of many nobles, especially Austria is a multiethnic country. In the Austrian Netherlands, Hungary and Bohemia, there are many guys who are not particularly cold about Habsburg and think about splitting themselves into being kings all day long.

So when Joseph II led his troops to expedition to Turkey, the guys in the country rebelled one after another. Joseph II betrayed his relatives and was forced to abolish most of the reform measures.

Now, Emperor Franz II seems to be in a certain dilemma. Obviously, the pope would not cause trouble for an emperor for no reason, and he would use such excuses. To be honest, it is a Catholic characteristic. In the Holy See, there should be too many priests in the Holy See. Obviously, some people want to use the Pope to attack Emperor Franz II. Considering that in today's Europe, who can drive the Pope like this, it is almost self-evident who is.

Since the French wanted to deal with Emperor Franz II, it would be a shame for themselves if they didn't take the opportunity to do something. They didn't know at that time that the major shareholders of this project included the French and the Bonaparte family. Of course, they couldn't blame them. Who knew why Joseph, the old silver coin, liked to invest through multiple holdings. So you can look at the several companies investing in this project, all of which are Austrian companies, and then look at the shareholder composition of these companies, and then you can see some French companies. Then you can check the shareholder composition of these French companies, and then you can find some other less famous French companies, and then check the shareholder composition of these French companies. Well, you can see the surname "Bonaparte".

This practice is not uncommon in later generations, but it is not common in this era. In addition, there is no such thing as Tianyan Check in this era, so how could those Hungarian local buns know about it?

Because the Hungarian local buns didn't know these and didn't understand that there was also magical operation in this world where they cooperated to make money while slandering each other, some Hungarians began to move. With these people's support, the nobles in Poland also fought and jumped up, claiming to resist tyranny.

But they really resisted. Of course, it was not a direct uprising - because the Polish nobles did not dare. Emperor Franz II's judgment of them was completely correct, and they were just a group of cowards! Therefore, their resistance was to refuse to transfer land, resolutely be nail owners, and by the way, they used various methods to cause trouble for the Lubin Railway.

Since these Poles are so ignorant, His Majesty the Emperor will naturally give them some great taste. So His Majesty's police department quickly put some unsolved cases that had not been solved many years ago, such as someone being robbed on a small road in the countryside, someone being killed by bandits in a certain place, and all of them being nailed to the heads of those nail households.

Of course, there is no evidence in the police station of His Majesty the Emperor. But what is the difficulty of evidence? If you arrest it in the bureau, you are afraid that there will be no evidence? What, you say we torture confessions? This is a shameless rumor. Otherwise, we will strip the suspect naked and let you see where there is a new scar on his body? Which one? That one is hemorrhoids, which has nothing to do with us. How about I find a doctor to give you a diagnosis certificate?
