MTL - The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven-Chapter 18 daily

Franz II was in a very happy mood today, and almost jumped up.

Under the ingenious operation of Prince Metternich, the property of the Erthazi family in Austria did not enter the treasury, but went to the personal name of Franz II.

Franz II once visited the palace of the Elthhazy family, which can be described in four words: magnificent and magnificent. Although it is not as good as the palace, it is better than any royal manor.

Although the artworks in the palace were taken away, the three thousand barrels of wine in the manor's underground wine cellar could not be taken away.

The deacon sent to take over the property selected a hundred barrels and sent them to Vienna, which was then handed over to the princes and nobles in Vienna by Franz II.

Franz II intends to leave the Elthhazy family property to his grandson Franz Joseph.

After all, he is well aware of the economic situation of the Austrian Empire, and the debts of the Austrian Empire may not be exhausted during his lifetime.

I am afraid that when Franz Joseph ascends the throne, Austria's debts will still exist.

Although a man cannot be without power for a day, it is not easy for the emperor to live without money.

The property of the Elthazi family, left to Franz Joseph, hoping to be used for emergency relief in times of crisis.

At this time, Franz II still had something in his hands, and he hadn't considered whether to give it to his grandson.

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace, children's room.

Franz Joseph wore a special light cavalry uniform today, and was so happy to see Franz II enter the door.

Franz Joseph knew that the old emperor would definitely share his joy with him, although he had already learned from the newspapers that the German Zollverein agreed to accept the Austrian Empire.

But Franz Joseph still intends to pretend not to know. After all, after the Vienna Conference, Austria had almost no diplomatic victories, which made the old emperor so happy.

When Franz II entered the door and saw Franz Joseph in military uniform, he immediately stopped, stood up straight, raised his hand and saluted, and said.

"Hello, soldier."

Franz Joseph also stood at attention immediately with a "snap" and shouted.

"Emperor, long live!"

Franz II hugged his grandson, the old and the young laughed together.

The time spent with his grandson always made the old emperor feel very comfortable.

Looking at the little boy in front of him, he seemed to see the future of the Austrian Empire. But he really didn't have the courage to challenge the rules set by his ancestors, and he didn't want his young grandson to shoulder the entire empire.

"He should have had a happy childhood." Franz II said to himself.

Perhaps realizing his gaffe, Franz II suddenly smiled mysteriously.

"Grandson, grandpa has a treasure in his hand. Guess what it is? If you guess right, I will give it to you."

In fact, when Franz II first entered the door, Franz Joseph found an envelope in his hand.

Combined with the recent events, this envelope contains either the good news of successfully joining the German Customs Union from ahead, or the three million florins deposit of Prince Elthhazy.

According to Franz's estimate, it is more likely to be a deposit note.

But what can Franz do with that money now? Candy?

So he replied, "Yes."

Franz II took out the envelope behind him, handed it to Franz, and said.

"You got the answer right. You have to keep this envelope and open it when you grow up."

Franz Joseph looked at the envelope with some doubts. It was indeed mailed by the Rothschild Bank, and it was a deposit note.

It's just that Franz didn't understand why the old emperor would give this money to a child like himself.

But he knew that the old emperor hoped that Franz could keep the money well.

Franz immediately took the envelope and ran to his "treasure box", threw the envelope in, and locked it with a lock.

Seeing this, Franz II nodded in relief, then played with his grandson for a while before leaving.

At the end of the corridor, Franz II started talking to himself again.

"Forgive Grandpa for his timidity and cowardice, I hope this money can compensate you..."

....

Franz was a little tangled, he didn't know what to do with the money. Three million florins seems to be enough as his start-up capital, but he doesn't know when he will be able to start his plan.

It seems like a good choice to hand over this money to Mrs. Sophie, and maybe get a good income.

But in case Mrs. Sophie fails to invest, wouldn't she also suffer?

Maybe, there is another way...

Night, Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Franz stared at an up-to-date world map, dazed.

Central America, South America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the wild Australia at this time are all areas that can be expanded.

It's just that Franz is too young to participate in political affairs.

On the other hand, the Austrian navy is really in a hurry, even if it has this idea, it does not have the ability.

While Franz was still thinking, Madame Sophie walked in.

"Frantz, don't keep scribbling on the map."

After being lectured by Mrs. Sophie, Franz started today's story time.

"When we talk about major events in the world, we must unite when we are divided for a long time, and we must divide when we are united for a long time. Let's say that Prime Minister Cao entered Wancheng..."

.....

an hour later.

Franz, who was already very sleepy, looked at Mrs. Sophie who was listening intently.

Franz sighed secretly in his heart, "I'm so sleepy, I really want to sleep, why is my mother so energetic today."

But going on like this is definitely not an option, so Franz had an idea, UUReading Book www.uukanshu.com picked up the exquisitely packaged Bible next to his hand, slammed it on the table, and shouted "Foretell what will happen in the future, just listen Break it down next time..."

Mrs. Sophie looked a little unfinished, and sighed, "Prime Minister Cao, what a good man."

"What's so good about it." Franz couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"It's really a vigorous love."

"Where is love? This kind of obsessive mentality is not advisable, mother, your thoughts are very dangerous." Franz couldn't help but continue to complain.

"Who told you this love story? Was it Thalia? Bohemians are always so open." Madam Sophie said again, "But you are still so young, she dares to do it. If you grow up Bigger, I really don't know what this woman will do."

"..." Franz was a little helpless, and it took him half a year to realize something was wrong.

But it's great that Mrs. Sophie can automatically think of Talia as a tutor.

At least, now Franz doesn't need to explain anything.

As for Thalia's wages will probably be deducted, Franz didn't think too much, just nodded.

Anyway, if there is any blame, it is always right to throw it to this Bohemian.

Because of inherent arrogance and prejudice, Thalia, as the daughter of a small Bohemian nobleman, secretly completed her university studies without telling her family.

We must know that in this era, those who can complete their university studies can already be regarded as social elites.

In 1834, there were only 7,191 students in all Austrian universities.

But the result was surprising, Talia was kicked out by his father.

Desperate, she became Franz's tutor by chance.
