The Austrian government has been very busy recently. After the war is over, the government’s promised military rewards must be fulfilled; the industry that has just been taken over from the church must also be taken care of; the popularization of compulsory education also requires the strong cooperation of the local government…
The government has a lot of work, and naturally there is a shortage of manpower. Since there is a shortage of people, it will have to recruit externally.
All kinds of talents in this world may be lacking, but only those who want to be officials will not be lacking.
Of course, if it is in poor conditions, there will be exceptions, but in Austria itself, it is absolutely impossible.
I don’t know how many noble children are unemployed at home, struggling to find opportunities and not being able to, and slowly degenerated into rice borers.
Now the opportunity has come, it is natural to join the ruling group.
Don't think that the grassroots civil servants are not popular, it is not easy for the declining nobles to find a decent job.
Austria is conservative, and most of the aristocratic children can't put down the air to work for the capitalists, which will damage their family reputation.
They would rather join the army and climb the ladder slowly than take a lucrative salary under the capitalists, which will make them feel that their dignity has been insulted.
At first, Franz proposed a national civil service examination, which was immediately met with collective opposition from the government. After analyzing the actual situation, he graciously gave up this tempting idea.
There are not many intellectuals these days, they are nothing more than aristocrats, capitalists, middle class, and very few children of the commoners. If there is Franz, they would not dare to use them.
As a qualified monarch, you must first ensure the loyalty of your subordinates. As for those who are capable, ordinary civil servants need a gross ability. As long as their IQ is on the pass line and they can execute the orders of their superiors, they can be competent.
Therefore, this time, it is still selected among the children of the nobles. If we look at it comprehensively, the children of the nobles have a higher overall level of ability. They have also accepted some of the life experiences passed down by their parents, which are not comparable to the upstarts.
Of course, everyone still has to give the emperor's face, and the civil service exam is also held, but this is a civil service exam with unique Austrian characteristics, which excludes most people from the qualifications for the exam.
For example: education requires starting middle school, passing the social knowledge level test, political censorship (three views are correct, no bad speech records, no illegal and criminal records for three generations of ancestors), industry circumvention system (parents and relatives are engaged in the industry, and children are not allowed. Refer to the supervisory post)…
If no noble children give the green light and go directly to the second round, then this civil service exam is generally fair.
At least logically, the government's restrictions are still in the past. After the newspapers published these restrictions, there was an uproar in public opinion.
To Franz's surprise, such a blatant exclusionary condition, in the eyes of the outside world, is still a major step forward in the reform of the Austrian government, and public opinion has given it high praise.
If he wasn't sure that he didn't manipulate public opinion, he would suspect that all the praises were from the navy.
It is not that there is no objection. Many young students have opinions. They feel that their participation in demonstrations and criticism of the government may become obstacles that prevent them from applying for the civil service examination.
Of course, their opinions can only be kept in their hearts. Since the Ministry of Education has strengthened the management of school education quality, their coursework has increased a lot.
The magic weapon of the exam was cited by Franz into the Austrian education system. There is a monthly exam every month, a mid-term exam every six months, and an annual exam every year.
The results of each test are all publicized. Those who are not afraid of shame can try it. The results of the school period will be noted on the future graduation certificate.
If you fail three times in a row, prepare to repeat. If repeating grades is not enough, you can only wait for the school to dissuade you.
Of course, the rich and willful local tyrants can continue to play, just pay the money if they don’t want to repeat the grade, pay 5,000 dongs for the first time, 10,000 dongs for the second time, and 20,000 dongs for the third time...
If you have money, you can buy it all the way. Austrian universities don't mind selling diplomas. If you have enough money, you can modify your performance in school.
Under the high pressure of the Ministry of Education, Austrian students spend every day in "happy" learning.
Dare to skip class? If you are expelled directly, try it if you have the courage, what will be the good consequences after being expelled from the school.
The most restricted bourgeoisie, this time there is a collective silence, and the Vienna government has not been targeting them for a day or two. There are a lot of restrictions.
No way, my colleagues planned the damn March Revolution and successfully angered the Austrian government. Although those bastards died and ran, but the government obviously still holds grudges
We are all smart people with rich experience in social struggle. We know that we can't take the lead at this time. Even if we have any ideas, we have to wait until the limelight has passed.
Franz had anticipated these situations in advance, and what worried him most was that some people opposed the privileges of the nobles and caused civil unrest.
Originally, the nobles had the advantage, and they directly entered the second round, which simply did not give others a chance.
It turns out that he just thinks too much. The majority of the Austrian people are not yet so ideologically aware. No matter what conditions are set, it is impossible for them to take their turn, and the matter is not up to them.
Everyone agrees with the disguised prohibition of capitalists from becoming government officials. These guys are already very dark, if they become officials again, will they still be worth it
Well, since everyone doesn't have an opinion, Franz treats everyone as having no opinion.
The matter is settled like this, whether it is a question-based exam or a direct interview, how to recruit people in various departments, Franz is too lazy to ask, he only needs the results.
The bureaucrats are not fools either. The people recruited now are to do things, and they are low-level civilian officials.
If they don't do well, it means that they will be held accountable by higher-level officials. The Austrian government does not have a staff of temporary workers that can be used to support the tank.
Since Prime Minister Felix came to power, the Austrian bureaucracy has been cleaned up again. At this time, the government has not improved its efficiency by a single star.
…
Schönbrunn Palace, located in the southwest of Vienna, was built in the 17th century, and underwent several expansions in the middle, and it was not completed until the time of Queen Marie Theresa.
With 1,441 rooms and a total area of 26,000 square meters, it has a variety of regional cultural styles and is second only to Versailles in luxury.
Franz was born in Schönbrunn Palace, probably influenced by the memory of his predecessor, he has a unique feeling for this place, and he lived here for a long time after he succeeded to the throne.
There are special oriental classical buildings in the palace, such as Chinese-style rooms inlaid with red sandalwood, ebony, and ivory, and Japanese-style rooms decorated with gold and lacquer.
The interior decoration of the room is also unified and coordinated in an oriental style, with ceramic inlays on the walls and ceiling. Among the dazzling display of ceramics, there are Chinese celadon, Ming Dynasty Wanli color porcelain plate and Cuohua vase.
These things can get rid of the diaosi career by taking any one of them before crossing, but now they are placed in front of him in a wholesale style.
After the initial excitement, Franz felt nothing. What about antiques? At his status, as long as it is something he has used, it will be an antique cultural relic in later generations.
The premise is that he has been successful all the time. If he fails, the value of these things will be greatly reduced.
Franz knew that the extravagant Schönbrunn Palace was actually an unfinished project. The Schönbrunn Palace at the time of design was comparable in scale and luxury to Versailles, but due to limited financial resources, the original design failed to do so.
As a disciplined pick-up man, Franz doesn't mind completing the original design. Of course, this is the future, and now he can't bear to spend money on it.
I don't know since when, Franz likes to read and read newspapers while drinking tea under a huge toon tree.
"Your Majesty, Prince Wendy Schreitz asks to see you."
The maid rang crisply, awakening Franz, who was imaginative.
"Bring him here and add a chair by the way." Franz ordered
This is his respect for the ministers. In informal occasions, everyone is very casual when they discuss matters together. The chairs are placed there and sit casually. Coffee, tea, and juice are what he likes, and he instructs the maid to take it.
Unless it's the first time you meet, Franz will greet you in person. The back is what you like, don't expect the great emperor to greet you every day.
For Franz's way of doing things, Prince Wendischgritz is very clear, and the great nobles naturally have the demeanor of the great nobles.
After paying a courtesy ceremony, he automatically sat down on the chair next to him and asked the maid for a cup of coffee before he said:
"Your Majesty, you see that all government departments are expanding their personnel, and our retiring officers also need to be resettled. Why not let them fill some positions?"
It's normal practice in Austria. Take Franz's cabinet as an example, all of them were soldiers.
This is the choice of the vast majority of nobles in the German region. Adult children have to go into the army for a while, even if it is only a nominal service, they must go through the motions.
In such a large environment, Wu Zhuanwen naturally has no obstacles. When Prince Wendischgritz made this request, he wanted to open the back door.
"In principle, there is no problem, but which position they are suitable for should be decided after an assessment." Franz replied calmly
Prince Wendischgritz continued to fight: "Your Majesty, these transferred officers all have military exploits. They..."
"I know all these things. It is for their own good that I feel that they should be put in positions that suit them.
If you give them positions they can't do, I don't think it's rewarding them, it's framing them.
The Austrian government is no longer the original Austrian government. Now every employee in the government is responsible for his own work.
If there is a problem because of their own incompetence, they will also be held accountable. Do you want these heroes to be discredited for the rest of their lives? ' Franz asked rhetorically.
Perhaps he felt that his words were a bit heavy, and Franz added: "Instead of saying this here, the War Department might as well conduct a training for retired officers. When the ability is reached, can they still compete with others?"
preferential treatment? Franz is indeed treating soldiers preferentially, but the problem is that basic principles cannot be lost, and equal conditions can be given priority. If you are not capable, you can only do simple work.
