The Pilsner beer produced by Franz is far superior to the historical Pilsner beer, both in terms of brewing process and shelf life.

Joseph Fugurol, a Bavarian brewer, almost participated in the entire design of Pilsner beer, but he didn't know why its shelf life was so long.

And of course, since pasteurization was not introduced until 1862 by Louis Pasteur.

The principle is to use the characteristics of bacteria to reproduce themselves, and treat them with appropriate temperature and holding time to kill them all, so as to achieve the purpose of extending the shelf life.

Franz respected Pasteur as a great biologist, so the secret of pasteurization was not hidden from him.

On the contrary, Franz sincerely invited him to study in Vienna, but Pasteur flatly refused.

"Through what you have seen and heard in Vienna during this period of time, you should understand that the center of the future scientific community must be in Austria. And with my support, your future research will go smoothly."

Franz is not good at dealing with scientists, because he always feels that the thinking of this group of people is too divergent, and they always think of some messy things.

But generally speaking, presenting the facts and reasoning, this kind of routine still works.

"Thank you for your love, Archduke Franz. During my stay in Vienna, I have indeed seen a lot. Especially the research on those invisible creatures has benefited me a lot, but for your invitation, I still have a lot to say. Allow me to refuse."

Pasteur spoke with such certainty that it seemed beyond doubt.

"Science knows no borders, Monsieur Pasteur. Those arrogant fools in Paris, they don't recognize your true talents."

In fact, Pasteur had just turned 20 years old at this time, and after graduating from middle school, he became a teaching assistant at Bu Songshan Middle School, which was extremely rare at that time.

But his road to university was not smooth, until August 1843 when he was 21 years old, Pasteur was admitted to the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, studying the teaching methods of chemistry and physics.

The condition Franz offered was that if Pasteur was willing to come to Austria, he could choose any university in the Austrian Empire and study any courses he wanted.

The royal family will not only bear all the expenses of Pasteur, but also willing to give him an annuity of 5,000 florins per year.

At the same time, Pasteur will be invited by the Royal Society of Vienna to become the youngest member since the organization was founded.

"Science has no borders, and scientists have their own motherland."

Pasteur's answer surprised Franz. After all, the latter always thought that this sentence should be said by a Chinese, but in fact it was Louis Pasteur who said this sentence first.

Austria and France have been feuds for centuries, and this contradiction has already been integrated into the blood of all classes on both sides.

Pasteur, as a nationalist, would never have served the sworn enemy of the Austrian Empire, but Franz respected his choice and did not stop him.

In fact, it couldn't be easier to make a person disappear in Vienna with Franz's energy, let alone a foreign old man.

Ajani walked in and said when she saw Franz looking lost.

"Are you broken in love?"

This made Franz very embarrassed. After all, the living conditions of scientists in this era are mostly poor, and he usually only needs to pay a very small price to persuade him to succeed.

"It seems that the contradiction between France and Austria is deeper than I imagined."

Franz didn't want to answer, and Adjani naturally couldn't continue teasing, so she followed Franz's words.

"The two families of Habsburg and Bourbon, from the earliest blasphemy alliance, to the Thirty Years War of Religion, to the French Revolution. The contradiction between the two sides cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences."

correct! If you're shameless enough, you can even see Catholic countries in the Protestant League.

France really deserves the name of the great filial son of Catholicism.

In fact, what Pasteur said just now made Franz fall into deep thought. He began to doubt whether he had the ability to turn the tide in this era of the nation.

The decency of maintaining a universal empire seemed so out of reach again.

Looking at Franz's thoughtful look, Adjani felt that now was not a good time to talk about things.

In fact, Mr. Pasteur from before was not a difficult figure in Adjani's eyes.

He looked at himself, zoomed in and out, and walked with his head down, which was completely the performance of an innocent boy, in other words, he was just a child.

Judging from Adjani's years of experience, as long as she finds a veteran in love, let alone the motherland, it is not a problem to let him kill her own parents.

Of course she wouldn't have done that without Franz's order. Because Adjani can see that Franz respects her very much. Although her own method is feasible, it is too despicable and may cause Franz's dissatisfaction.

She came this time to report to Franz on the sales and promotion of Pilsner beer. There is no doubt that this cheap beer is very popular.

Franz set the price at 3 Groschen, and this alone has already choked the throat of traditional ale beer.

In fact, Adjani is a little puzzled, why not directly lower the price to 2 Groschen. In this way, the beer industry in Austria and even Germany can be completely unified.

At this time, no country can compete with Austria in the beer industry. Even if a country steals this technology later, Austria can still make the other party pay a considerable patent fee by virtue of its strong strength and influence.

Franz naturally has his own considerations. If the price is lowered too low, the profit may be reduced. At the same time, after a large amount of cheap wine enters the market, it will inevitably cause bad money to drive out good money.

Although the quality of Pilsner beer is stable, Franz does not deny that the quality of some ales will be better than the former.

And Franz didn't want to offend all the beer merchants. After all, rabbits would bite people when they were in a hurry, let alone a group of big living people.

As a time traveler, Franz knows well that the smell of wine is also afraid of the deep alley.

So after the development of Pilsner beer was completed, he handed over the promotion work to Adjani.

In fact, Franz himself is a very good billboard, but he and his friends are just a group of 12 and 3-year-old teenagers at this time.

It's not good if you drink in groups and cause something to end badly.

Although beer at that time had the reputation of liquid bread, it was actually still a poor man's drink that was not on the table.

Adjani put the beer in the royal department store and the shop near the train station. The former is to increase the popularity of this beer. After all, the quality of the royal endorsement is usually not bad.

The latter is to sell wine, because with the development of railways and industries, a large number of laborers will go to all parts of the country by railway, and they are the main force of beer consumption.

Of course, the army is also a good sign. Due to the long shelf life of Pilsner beer, it is very suitable for the needs of sea navigation.

So the Austrian Imperial Navy threw a lot of orders to the winery, but those soldiers didn't really save the wine to drink at sea, they drank this low-alcohol beer as water.

Friedrich liked this low-alcohol wine very much, according to his own words.

"Finally we don't have to sail the seas with a bunch of drunken drunks."

But in fact low-alcohol alcohol will not solve the problem of soldiers getting drunk, because they will drink more than before.

The Army also praised the Pilsner beer developed by Franz. You must know that wine and sugar were important guarantees for the morale of the army during this period.

This so-called pilsner is not only cheap, but also has a long shelf life. This made the general of the Ministry of War feel very useful, and under the call of Count Latour, it became a must-have item for the army banquet.

In fact, the army is a group that is relatively easy to satisfy. After all, they can even enjoy the super bad instant coffee, not to mention the refreshing beer now.

The instant coffee at this time was far from the taste of later generations, according to the description of the military officer at the time.

"Those **** things are like a mixture of stones and sawdust, and the taste is so bitter and astringent, it makes people sick."

But in fact, in the Austrian Imperial Army at this time, ordinary soldiers were still very satisfied with instant coffee.

Firstly, it has a refreshing effect, and secondly, this kind of coffee is not troublesome, as long as there is hot water, it can be brewed.

Especially for the soldiers of the frontier army, this kind of coffee is really a gift from God. What they lack most when they are performing patrol tasks in the wild is time.

Facing massive orders from the army, Franz had to expand production capacity.

Soon Pilsner beer became one of the pillar industries in Bohemia, and at the same time drove the development of a series of surrounding industries.

For example, the glass manufacturing industry, at this time Austria is the world's largest exporter of glass. Pilsner differs from traditional ales in that it has a longer shelf life.

This also means that it can be individually packaged, and Bohemia happens to be the largest glass manufacturing center in Austria, so the conditions are unique.

As Austrian beer entered the German Confederation on a large scale, the German states headed by Prussia began to oppose this kind of beer that violated the "Beer Purity Act".

Prussia, Bavaria and other countries feel that Austria's approach violates the spirit of the German Customs Union, while Austria insists that Bohemia is an inalienable part of Austria.

But it was not part of Austria when the Beer Purity Act was promulgated, so it should not be subject to this law.

Facing calls from the German states to kick Bohemia out of the German customs union, the local Germans who had been bewitching the Czechs for independence finally calmed down.

The German aristocrats in Bohemia advocate Czech nationalism all day long because they can bring greater benefits to them by fighting for independence.

But if independence would allow Bohemia to break away from the German Customs Union, then they would never do it. After all, the profits brought by the German Customs Union are too rich.

Of course, not everyone can react. Some German nobles who have fooled themselves really think that the Czechs should be independent.

Although both Czechs, Moravian Czechs expressed deep concern about seceding from the Austrian Empire.

Although Moravia did not benefit as much as Bohemia from the German Customs Union, many local industries depended on the platform of the Austrian Empire.

They might be nothing without the empire.

Due to the transportation cost of this era, Franz's wish to dominate the beer industry failed, but since then, all ships sailing at sea will carry Pilsner beer.

In fact, once people's living standards improve, the consumption of beer will increase sharply. At this time, the beer production capacity was far behind the development speed of Austria, and of course its consumption of food was also huge.

For this reason, Franz had to consider continuing to reform agriculture. Fertilizers are the foundation of modern agriculture. But things like ammonium sulfate are obviously too backward. Liebig and his assistants worked together to develop potassium fertilizer.

Historically, this kind of potash fertilizer was not developed until 1850, but at this time, due to Franz's intervention, it was advanced by 8 years.

But Franz is still not satisfied, he has a golden plan in his heart.

"Mr. Liebig, since you think nitrogen is so important for plant growth, why don't you directly develop nitrogen fertilizer?"

Franz's words made him fall into deep thought. It is true that using nitrogen directly as a fertilizer can definitely greatly increase the yield of crops.

Liebig was an undoubted chemical genius, and his ideas and discoveries fit perfectly with Franz's plan.

He believed that inorganic substances such as carbonic acid, ammonia, magnesium oxide, phosphorus, nitric acid, and compounds of potassium, sodium, and iron were needed for plant growth.

Human and animal excrement can only be absorbed by plants if it is converted into carbonic acid, ammonia and nitric acid. These ideas are the basis of modern agricultural chemistry.

He also believes that animal food not only requires a certain amount, but also various types, organic or inorganic~www.novelbuddy.com~ and must have a considerable proportion. The principle of fermentation is also proposed.

He strongly advocated the use of inorganic fertilizers to enhance harvests, which is especially rare in this day and age.

1842, South Africa.

The British Cape Colony in South Africa annexed the New Boer Republic established by the Boers. Of course, the official explanation given was to protect the white South Africans from the two black countries of Ndebele and Zulu, but in fact it was just to avoid being involved in the injustice. All-out war is necessary.

But in fact the Boers had long complained that the British had not been tough on the Xhosa on the Cape Colony's eastern frontier.

The Xhosa are actually the natives of South Africa. Strictly speaking, they are not a nation, but the British and Boers' name for all the local blacks who disobeyed the rule.

In recent history, the Xhosa have waged a series of wars to protect their lands and prevent further plundering of their homeland by white invaders.

These primitive tribes were very brave, and even occupied a British warship. However, these nomads living on the grasslands had nothing to do with these giant beasts floating on the sea, and they could only return without success in the end.

The Xhosa held on to this feeble but valiant resistance until the appearance of a deceitful sorcerer really broke their resistance.

The sorcerer named Moharakza spread false prophecies that he could defeat the British through sacrifices, and eventually caused hundreds of thousands of Xhosa people to starve to death.

Since then, the Xhosa people, who were seriously injured, could no longer pose any effective threat to the colonists, and finally had to live in the reservations designated by the British, and ended up in the same fate as the Indians in North America.
