Warlock Royal Family

Chapter 180 The Austrian Power System

Dating back to the time of Julius Caesar and Augustus in the ancient Roman Empire, the name Ferdinand was first used by an emperor.

Therefore, Ferdinand has since become His Majesty Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor.

However, because His Majesty Ferdinand I was still busy with state affairs in Brussels, he had no time to come to Frankfurt to enjoy the extraordinary honor of the coronation.

Therefore, the various ceremonies and ceremonies that could have had had to be cancelled, and Ladislaus left Frankfurt on the day the election ended.

The crown, which had just been sent to Frankfurt after the death of Charles V, was sent back to Brussels by the mayor of Frankfurt himself.

Members of several small branches of the Wetting family and enemies of the Hohenzollern family eagerly tried to congratulate His Majesty Ferdinand through various channels.

But Ladislaus has no intention of supporting their ambitions for the time being, and it would require too many resources to intervene now, and Austria will not have much benefit if it is not bordered by Saxony and Brandenburg.

However, Poland, as a major country in Central Europe, naturally has different treatment.

Moreover, Poland's special envoy in Frankfurt is the ambassador to Austria. In addition, the relationship between Poland and Austria has become closer because of Hungary's movements, so Ladislaus invited him to go back to Vienna with him.

The Polish ambassador Dudek certainly regarded this as a sign that the Kingdom of Poland was an important ally of Austria and an extraordinary honor for him personally.

"Haha, Shaobo lingered on that face and sincerely recommended His Majesty Ferdinand. It's really ridiculous."

In the end, Shaobo Raoyi voted for Ferdinand helplessly under the eyes of everyone.

Although according to General Sauberoy, King Louis had always supported His Majesty Ferdinand, those rumors were all shameless conspiracy of the Hohenzollern family.

As for whether you believe it or not, General Shaobo Raoyi believed it anyway.

"I believe you can write a great report letter to His Majesty the King of Poland, so that His Majesty the King can also share the joy of His Majesty the Emperor."

Ladislaus attaches great importance to the relationship with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The territory of this country established through royal marriage is larger than that of France, and its population of more than 500 million is second only to France in the Europa pantheon.

However, the ambassador's temptations about the status of the Teutonic Knights and the comprehensive alliance were blocked by Ladislaus.

Of course, even if he didn't get what he wanted, the Polish king had to say nothing to the Habsburg family, the number one force in Europe, who had further controlled the situation. The ambassador promised Ladislas a national gift of one hundred good horses.

They received the highest standard of reception in the dioceses of Würzburg and Bamberg along the way. This time, after learning about the election of the emperor, the archbishops became more respectful to Ladislaus. On the minds of thousands of talers.

In addition to a little red envelope, completing the quest "Election for the Throne" also brings prestige to Ladislaus.

Ladislaus's current reputation has reached 11305, and he is completely recognized as the master of Austria by various princes.

On July 7, when he entered the Austrian border, Baron Frederick Cicero Hohenzollern, the imperial court officer, and Machiavelli, the chief steward, greeted him at the border.

The eunuch doesn't need to worry about his cousins ​​being hostile to the warlock royal family. He has always been the enemy of the elector's side. Since the time of the old emperor Maximilian, this Hohenzollern has been He has served the Habsburg family for 30 years, and his baronial territory was also given by the old emperor rather than from the elector of Brandenburg.

Ladislaus specifically asked other high-ranking nobles not to come to the border to meet him. Of course, Machiavelli also used a lot of tricks to keep those eager nobles to stay in Vienna.

Ladislaus decided to consult his cronies and the most important members of the State Council before his first State Council, and confirm the meeting agenda.

Ladislaus found his system of "lords" to be a very effective tool, allowing him to see the consequences of various choices directly, without having to think through the potential value of various issues as hard as most monarchs do.

Machiavelli had thoroughly sorted out the accounts so that Ladislaus could clearly confirm his financial situation.

The Austrian treasury has 41 thalers in circulation, and his private treasury has 6 thalers.

The debts, including the Fugger Textile Association and the Medici Bank, totaled 120 million thalers, and the annual interest repayment was [-] thalers. Medici's part of the loan was interest-free.

According to the usual practice, as long as the Fugger family's loan is paid in time, the principal can always be extended.

The unavoidable expenses in the second half of the year are mainly military expenses and bureaucratic salaries.

Although Ladislaus wanted to strengthen his power in the army, he was surrounded by Italians who wanted to infiltrate Vienna's army system, and the price was too high.

Therefore, the treatment of the 6000-man field army and the capital guard cannot be compressed and must be guaranteed. This sum requires about 5000 million thalers.

The bureaucratic expenses were thirty-five thousand talers.

Ladislas had made it clear when he went to Frankfurt that he did not need to redecorate the palaces of Vienna as usual, but he intended to completely renovate Vienna's inner roads as a gift to the citizens of Vienna. A budget had been made to spend forty-four thousand thalers.

Officer Hohenzollern of course also valued this opportunity very much, and he also made full preparations for this meeting, although he was somewhat dissatisfied with meeting Machiavelli first because of Ladislas.

However, Ladislaus didn't even renovate the palace when he took office, which made him understand that his monarch is just stingy enough, so it's not that he doesn't pay attention to his position as the number one in the government. It's okay to be in the first place.

At the top of all agendas was the question of the administration of the Friuli region, and during Ladislaus' journey to Frankfurt some of the necessary administrators had been conscripted and sent to the newly occupied regions.

Several members of the State Council were divided into cakes, but the most important senior positions were honestly left to Ladislaus to decide.

But of course they still put forward their own candidates. A new governor is a huge vacancy.

The second problem is to choose a site for the church of the Lord of Fire to build a temple. The city walls of Vienna are already very crowded, and this problem is quite difficult.

The senior bureaucrats are basically believers in the dark sun, and they don't welcome Kossuth.

His Excellency Minister Hohenzollern was even more worried about the message that Prime Minister Sazastan might seek a position in Austria.

There is no prime minister in the Austrian power system, and if such a position is arranged, it will do the greatest harm to His Excellency the Supreme Court.

However, he is very clear that the Red-robed Mage Association is also on the way to Austria, so the power map of Austria is bound to change, so it is better to not show up, Your Excellency, but once he has the opportunity, he must take the opportunity to attack those Spanish human.

The task on his head is to "send Prime Minister Sarzastan to Prague for retirement." This fully illustrates his appeal.

The reward for the quest is something called the "Mind Slayer".

The third problem is the placement of the guard team that Ladislaus belongs to, including how to arrange the old ministers such as Kessell Witin, Boss Silica and Old John. (To be continued.
