The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven

【War court and knee pillow, Austria's destiny】【】

Franz came to his laboratory with garlic already prepared. Of course, these garlic are strictly screened. Undoubtedly, they are all mature, dry, free from insects and mildew; and they have been destemmed, split, peeled, washed with clean water, and removed from impurities.

It is first crushed into a lake shape, and then dehydrated at low temperature.

After grinding into powder, add absolute alcohol, then cover and seal to allow allicin to fully release and dissolve after 24-48 hours.

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It’s really easy to use. I rely on reading and listening to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here.yeguoyuedu】

Pour it into a filter to get relatively pure allicin, pour it into a chicken heart bottle, and heat it to 78 degrees to evaporate the alcohol. The chemical properties of allicin will only be destroyed when it is above 80 degrees.

Then filter again, the purity of allicin is greatly improved. After low-temperature dehydration, it is ground into powder, put into a special seaweed capsule, and the outside is sealed with a metal hose. The storage time can reach 6-12 months.

Of course, this is just a laboratory practice. In fact, the procedures and methods of industrial production will be slightly different, but this is Europe in the 19th century, not the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Mass production of this simple drug is still possible.

After mass production of this thing, a considerable number of quack doctors in the Austrian Empire will be laid off. Of course, it will also lead to the abuse of antibiotics, so the price can only be increased to limit the occurrence of this situation.

Since the drug is cheap to produce, the margins will be very high. It's just that its popularity was not obvious in the early stage, so the main targets of procurement are still the army and government officials, as well as overseas colonists.

Of course, Franz did not plan to promote this drug on a large scale in the early stage. There is no doubt that its biggest beneficiary will be the United Kingdom, France and the United States.

The consequence is that the colonial efficiency of these countries has risen like a rocket. In addition to the existing quinine, there is no need to go through a long process, and the division of the world map can be completed within ten years.

For Austria at this time, the colonies it has reached the limit it can support, laying down more territory will neither develop nor increase defensive pressure, so it is meaningless.

The most deceitful thing about this thing is that the technological content is extremely low, and it is effortless to imitate. Even if the technological level of the Qing Dynasty at this time wants to imitate, it is only a matter of time.

Therefore, even if Franz gave up 99% of the benefits, it would be impossible to slow down the pace of Britain and France. It is better to directly register the patent and then desperately raise the price so that everyone cannot afford it.

As a result, a drug that cost only a few pfennigs was abruptly raised to 20 florins.

But its appearance directly rejuvenated the Austrian colony, and with quinine, it could almost resist the threat of all diseases at that time.

Especially in the sultry and humid Indochina Peninsula, the combination of allicin, quinine and bleach greatly reduced the local mortality rate and the spread of the disease.

In the Jiulongjiang Plain, those liberated slaves felt as if they had stepped into a world of bliss; as long as they worked hard and hard, not only would they not enjoy the treatment of a leather whip, they could still have three meals a day to a passing level, and even owned private property No problem.

The introduction of various medicines and treatment methods made the locals feel awe of the mysterious country of the Austrian Empire.

And almost all the spies sent by Emperor Shaozhi to inquire about information in the Diocese of Chenla were rebelled by the missionaries. Naturally, these servants of God would not give up these lost lambs.

So they were sent to Vietnam after undergoing some training and teaching. These spies have also successfully developed their off-line, and their tentacles even extended to the Hue palace.

The results of the first Austro-Vietnamese War also spread to Siam at this time. As the peerless king, Rama III generously sent a horse, gold, silver, jewels, beauties and a series of unequal treaties to his neighbor in the east. .

Even the iron ore that Franz had been coveting was given to Austria, which made people find no reason to find fault.

At the same time, due to the deepening of trade between the two countries, war has gradually become an option with negative returns. Even in order to ensure that other powers cannot annex Siam, Austria regularly sells weapons to Siam at low prices.

Don't look at Rama III who always puts on a look of being slaughtered, but the equipment in his hands can already allow him to arm a considerable size of the army.

At the same time, since the big powers earn money from the Siamese, those commoners have always firmly supported the royal family to fight against foreign invaders. Franz doesn't know whether a country with the ambition to monopolize Thailand will be beaten by the big powers, but it is very likely that they will not be able to take this country at all.

In fact, the purpose of the big powers to colonize here is to seek money. As long as it makes money, who cares who owns the land. Franz is naturally no exception. The only excuse for war to fill the iron ore gap before does not exist, and there is no reason to adopt the method of exhausting the resources.

And if you are bitten by the fish or hurt yourself when frying fish, it will be even more harmful than the gain.

Let us turn our attention to Africa. The entire Austrian West Africa, except for Namibia, is caught in a cotton fever. Due to the unprecedented development of the textile industry in the Austrian Empire, and not long ago it occupied the entire central European market, the demand for raw materials naturally increased exponentially.

At this time, only cotton income was stable in its West African colonies. For other commodities, either the price fluctuates greatly, or the demand is unstable, and it is impossible to judge the expected income at all. In fact, when he visited the chiefs in West Africa before, Franz also gave suggestions to promote coffee, cocoa and rubber locally.

However, in view of the long growth cycle of those crops, I finally gave up this idea temporarily. After all, economic benefits and the law of crop growth cannot be artificially changed.

As mentioned earlier, before the end of his trip to West Africa, Franz gave the local chiefs, more precisely, the future plantation owners two options~www.wuxiaspot.com~ One is the traditional barter mode The second is to trade in exchange for the purchase model of expected banknotes.

The former is mainly to obtain cheap industrial products and weapons. This model is very familiar to the indigenous people and they are willing to accept it. In this mode, the empire can not only earn huge profits, but also dump some of its goods.

Few tribes would choose the latter, after all, they do not understand the actual function of these pieces of paper. However, as the first chief who dared to eat crabs appeared, other onlookers found that the purchasing power of this expected banknote was completely beyond their imagination.

Don't underestimate this thin roll of paper, with which tribe members can go to Austria to freely purchase the supplies they want. The only downside is that only Austrian boats can be hired, and you need to pay a part of the round trip.

But these native high-ranking, who were initially skeptical, saw this as a perfect opportunity, and if grasped properly, it would be an opportunity for them to leave Africa and join the European Union.

Although the direct profits generated by the empire under this model will be slightly less, once those tribes adopt the second model, they will be incorporated into the Austrian economic system without knowing it.

In the long run, it is obvious that the latter has higher income, and the control over the colony will be more significant, and it can also cultivate a group of "essence elements" for free.

When all the elites of a country or a nation betray, then the success rate of its own rebellion is almost zero. This evil balance can only be broken by a stronger external force.
