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

Chapter 1498 Statistics (Part )

The same three housing types are just parallel concepts. The so-called unified housing standards are not very realistic and that is too un-Islandish.

The first type is a single room of only 15 square meters, the second type is an ordinary family residence of 75 square meters, and the last type is a model family residence of 100 square meters.

The logic this time was very simple. The Austrian Empire encouraged childbirth. Singles were only allowed to live in single rooms, while ordinary families with 1 to 3 children could rent an ordinary apartment of 75 square meters.

Finally, families with more than four children can rent model family residences.

The price of an ordinary apartment is twice that of a single room, but the rent of a model family residence is only 5% higher than that of an ordinary apartment. This is a benefit provided by the state.

The reason for using the model of low-rent housing + Khrushchev buildings is also to prevent the housing market from overheating and malicious housing speculation by some people.

At the same time, this will also make it easier to make policy adjustments and strengthen the country's control over the grassroots. On the other hand, it will also prevent people from encountering bugs.

Fleglova stared at the plan on the wall, biting her lip and thinking hard.

"Your Majesty, what does the five-year grace period mean?"

"You know the civilians so well, do you think someone would try to take advantage of the situation and do something terrible?"

Franz said this nonchalantly, and Fleglova's eyes immediately widened, then she nodded affirmatively.

"meeting."

“So there has to be a high enough sunk cost and a high enough risk to make them feel in awe.”

Flyglova shuddered all over. She never thought that Franz was a saint as the church said. It would be more reasonable to call him a devil or Satan.

Infanticide was not an uncommon practice in the world of the past. Both the East and the West would kill children they could not raise to save resources for themselves and those children who were more likely to survive to adulthood.

This has even been praised by some social Darwin scholars as natural selection of history.

Even though Franz offered such high welfare at this time, the empire's orphanages still received hundreds of thousands of abandoned babies, but the phenomenon of infanticide was reduced a lot, and even disappeared in many places.

It was entirely possible for civilians at that time to have an extra child, their own or someone else's, for a bigger house, or to kill a child, their own or someone else's, to save money.

"Can you see any other problem?"

Franz asked.

"Your Majesty, how should the proportions of these three types of housing be distributed? We cannot determine how many families there are in each of these three types. Without this number, there is no way to talk about construction. It is impossible to build them evenly, as that would cause too much waste."

"It's up to you."

"Me? Your Majesty, there are more than a million people in Vienna, and they are on the move every day. Even if I call all the people, I can't complete the task."

"No, you just need to help Mr. Babbage. I think you should have a public identity. You will be in charge of the domestic affairs in the future.

It seems that our domestic enemies are much more difficult to deal with than our foreign enemies."

What Franz didn't say was that he didn't want to make things easier for others. He couldn't swallow this humiliation when he finally defeated the foreign enemies and was seized by a group of corrupt officials. As for the foreign enemies, they were more likely to lick their wounds at this time. Moreover, those enemies that were in the open were easy to identify and guard against, but the enemies hidden inside were difficult.

Some people shout slogans louder than anyone else, seem more enthusiastic than anyone else, and even have achieved remarkable results in every job they have taken on before.

But after coming to power, he turned into the most vicious and venomous snake and the most vicious bully.

Fliglova had no objection to Franz's decision. After all, the external agencies of the Violet Knights had long been separated from her hands.

The highest person in charge of each region is directly responsible to the emperor and the "Wallfacer". As for who this Wallfacer is, even she, the current leader of the Violet Knights, does not know.

What's more, Franz himself was an emperor with truly supreme authority. Almost all high-ranking officials were in awe of him, and few would question his decisions.

Thanks to Dr. Babbage's series of inventions, mathematics, especially statistics, in the Austrian Empire made great progress.

The emergence and application of the difference engine and punch tabulating machine directly changed the course of history. Mathematics in the Austrian Empire had reached an unprecedented height.

In addition, the influence of magazines such as Science and Nature attracted a large number of real experts and scholars to the Austrian Empire, and the generous conditions offered by Franz made most of them choose to stay in the Austrian Empire.

After all, there are not many people like Pasteur who are patriotic, talented, not blinded by money and desire, and able to stand tall with their talents.

After all, most people need to eat, cherish their lives, and desire progress.
In fact, most skilled craftsmen of this era did not have any big ambitions. They just wanted to earn more money to support their families. Many labels were intentionally affixed by later generations.

Whether going to the United States or to Austria, it is nothing more than changing the place of work.

It is easier to deal with those science enthusiasts. All they want is a comfortable research environment, and Vienna happens to be one of the most livable cities in the world at that time.

In addition, Franz can provide them with unimaginable help as long as they can prove their worth.

For those lucky ones, Franz is the best person in the world.

Of course, in addition to these volunteers, there were also some reluctant ones. Due to Franz's conquests, some countries had already ceased to exist in name only, and scholars from these countries had no choice but to come to Vienna to try their luck in order to display their talents.

For example, at that time, Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet, deputy director of the Austrian Imperial Statistical Bureau, was a Belgian who lived in Brussels. He really couldn't do research on a scorched earth, and he didn't want to live under the shadow of French military boots all day long.

Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet was a versatile man who made pioneering achievements in many fields including astronomy, meteorology, sociology, epidemiology, statistics, etc. He was an important founder of many disciplines.

However, he is best known for his concept of average person and BMI (body weight index). At this time, he was the one who led the housing demand survey in major cities of the Austrian Empire, such as Vienna.

Officials of the Austrian Imperial Statistical Office felt as if the sky had fallen at the emperor's order. Not only was the project so huge, but the usually generous emperor had only allocated one million florins.

You have to know that the Austrian Empire had a population of at least 4800 million at that time, so this amount of money was really outrageous.

The round face of Lord Root, the director of the Statistics Bureau, was now full of wrinkles. It could be seen that every piece of fat and every particle of fat on his body was exerting force, but these efforts were of no help.

Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet seemed unconcerned at the moment, as he was still tasting the tea that had just been sent from the colony.

The tea grown in the colonies of the Austrian Empire tastes a bit strange, but Ketler is used to it. It is probably hybridized with something. The Empire's Ministry of Agriculture seems to have always been very keen on this matter.
