The Holy Roman Empire Chapter 2: Fight for

"Frantz, what's been going on with you lately, why is your PR so much?"

Before Franz spoke, Sophie of Bavaria's daughter, Mother Maria, began to erupt.

This is the sequel. With the passage of time, Franz's kind children begin to collapse, and a decline in performance is one of them.

"Sorry, respect Sophie. The course you have arranged for me is more than I can afford. With so many European nobles, who has such a huge academic burden?" Ask Franz

“Franz, are you accusing me of harassing you?” Madame Sophie said grimly.

"Good Lady Sophie, I don't mean to blame you, but you also know how heavy my class is.

Human energy is limited. With so many tasks, my study time is not enough. I still have to participate in military training. Decrease in performance is inevitable!

It is best to cut out some unnecessary courses so that my grades can get better! "Say Frank with a smile.

“Really, Franz, do you think you're an adult and you have hard wings, can't you listen to your mother?” Princess Sophie sneered.

Franz knew it was bad, and it seemed like he was still underestimating a mother's desire to control.

Often as long as she thought that she was good for her children, she would endure in despair. At this moment, it was not easy to persuade him.

However, he could not give any advice now, and it would be harder to rule after that.

Franz said solemnly, "Honored Lady Sophie, as heir to the Austrian Empire, what I need to learn is different from ordinary people.

What you are training now is an emperor emperor, not a knowledgeable scholar. So many complicated courses that are useful for ruling this country?

If you think I'm lazy, then you can try it yourself. Now I have 28 lessons, two hours a day, and receive military training! "

Princess Sophie was thinking deeply. This is the difference in European education. It is very common to face the elderly. As long as it makes sense, parents usually accept it.

Although this era was not very enlightened, the mainstream educational model still trained devout workers, who were needed by the ruling class, but Franz was the crown prince, no one dared to seek a prison sentence.

The nobility of Europe was able to flourish, and in fact they were inseparable from their education. Do not look at them, they are usually very conservative in politics. That is the need for benefit. European children have always been very advanced in their children's education.

After a while, Mrs. Sophie accepted Franz's statement, but the doubt in her heart did not go away, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Franz solemnly said, "Honored Lady Sophie, I am 16 years old and no longer a child. I know exactly what I'm doing now and what I need to do!

Theoretical knowledge is not the same as real society. I have lived in the royal palace since I was a child. What I see and understand is what you think I should see.

But there are too many questions and loopholes in it. You should know that my teachers are often stupid.

I don't know what the world is like or what the Austrian Empire is like now.

If you don't go out and learn about the real situation in this country, I will only be able to learn from my uncle and become a puppet emperor with peace of mind! "

"Frantz, don't forget that you're only 16. If you want to learn about this country, you have time. Now all you need is to learn!"

Franz shook his head and said carefully, "No, my mother! I don't have much time. When you think I can understand this country, I can no longer see the real situation in this country.

The bureaucrats only have a way of showing me what they need to show me, but the real social situation is not one I can understand! "

"Franz, you're too suspicious. The world is not so bad. To understand the world, you can read the newspaper!" Princess Sophie said palely.

"Mother don't forget, suspicion is the most fundamental quality of a qualified king! As for the newspapers, the Austrian book inspection system, aren't you clear?" Ask Franz rhetorically.

Read the paper to understand the world? Franz recalled for a moment that Yuan's head was pitted against by the newspaper, and eventually lost his reputation.

Will this happen in Austria? Franz was still afraid to draw conclusions, but as long as interest groups needed them, printing newspapers was no big deal.

The two stared at each other, who refused to admit defeat and stalemate.

After continuing for a while, Franz took the initiative to relax in the atmosphere.

"Honored Lady Sophie, did you notice that agriculture in Germany is currently under-gathered?"

“Know a little, but what does this have to do with you?” Madam Sophie asked in confusion.

Franz shook his head and said, "Now it has nothing to do with it, but it will have something to do with me in the future! The lack of food in German territory means that the standard of living of the local population will decline. People's Revolution!

Although this civil uprising would soon be suppressed, and even the news would not reach Vienna, the contradictions between the people below and the government were increasing.

There will be no problems in the short term, but over time, the affected people will have to enter the city to discuss their lives, and the bourgeoisie will have cheaper labor.

Austria will become more prosperous, but the contradictions will continue to rise, and one day they will be blown up. Think of the French Revolution! "

“Franz, you're worried!” Madame Sophie said palely.

Franz solemnly said, "No, I don't! Dear Lady Sophie, I have studied the French Revolution.

A drought in France in 1788 led to a decline in French food production and made the lives of ordinary people difficult. The contradiction between the domestic bourgeoisie and the aristocracy has increased, as have the reformists and conservatives in our country.

In the end, the government representing the interests of the nobility ignited Mars by raising taxes on the bourgeoisie. The French Revolution broke out and killed the Bourbon dynasty! "

“You mean there will be a revolution in Austria? Franz, do you think I'll believe it?” Lady Sophie said angrily.

Franz shook his head and said, "Honored Lady Sophie, this is just my initial assessment. There will be a revolution in Austria. I have too little information in my hands, and I need to know more information before I can judge.

I think this issue is more important than a lot of homework. As the imperial crown prince, I need to understand the true situation of this ancient empire! "
