1879 was an especially lively Christmas, as all Europeans, except those in warring Prussia and Russia, enjoyed a year of abundance.
Following tradition, the Vienna Government arranged annual tasks for various departments after the New Year.
The only exception was the Immigration Bureau, everyone knew that achieving a grand immigration strategy was a pipe dream given the heated domestic economy.
Thus, the task for the Immigration Bureau in 1880 was still to continue the previous year's assignment, and it remained a task without penalties.
In this regard, the Austrian Government was quite pragmatic, as the tasks for each department were established after research and according to the actual situation, and no blind actions were taken just to "boost political achievements."
Entering the new year, what Franz felt most deeply was that he had "aged another year", reaching an age where resisting old age was not an option.
