Holy Roman Empire Chapter 5: Property

Also very expensive to get out and communicate, the lives of the nobility in Austria were very corrupt, and Franz had yet to achieve freedom of property.

Now, Franz's income is very limited, especially from parents' money, precisely from mother's pocket money.

Due to her father's abandonment, the family's financial strength falls into Ms.'s hands. Sophie, and Franz have yet to acquire the property in his own name.

Of course, it was easy to earn money in his capacity, but Franz liked feathers, and he would not be able to do it by hand.

The current European environment is also not suitable for investment and industry.It will be more than a year before the February Revolution in France will erupt and spread throughout the European continent.All countries except Russia will be disturbed by the revolution.

Historically, Vienna fell to the rebels. If he was unlucky and the factory was set on fire by the rebels, where would he cry?

There are many businesses with huge profits, such as weapons, drugs, fake banknotes, and lotteries.Franz thinks that it is more suitable for him to mine and save the sinking treasure.

After calculating it, Franz had to give up this attractive money-making scheme for a very simple reason: He was the heir to the Austrian Kingdom, not an ordinary capitalist.

The conservatives did not want to see a capitalist emperor, the Vienna Revolution would erupt, and Franz could not do so without the support of the conservatives.

"Franz, are you studying again? Young people need to be more active. You're too boring. Why not hunt with me?"

It was his current father, Grand Prince Franz Carr, a very unstable man. His biggest hobby was hunting, and his second hobby was hunting with a few sons.

As a member of the Regent's Committee, Grand Prix Franzcar was the one who had the least sense of existence, due to his inherently flawed relationship, his intelligence was very low, and it was too difficult for him to participate in politics.

If it were not for his status, the Austrian Regent Commission would not have let him in.

"Dad, you can go alone. I'm going to visit Archduke Louis today. I don't have time to hunt!" Franz quickly refused.

It's a sequel to being too young. Although Franz was very mature, in the eyes of many people, he was still a child.

When Franz Carr was normal, he was still a good father and took care of him, but Franz could not bear it.

...

"Mother, you know, my spending has been a bit big lately ..."

Waiting for Franz to finish, Mrs. Sophie said, "So, you want to get back your property, don't you?"

As Grand Duke of Austria, how could there be no possessions?

Since his father and uncle had some arrears on his mind, as the eldest son in the third generation of the royal family, after confirming that his brain was normal, his grandfather was very happy to embrace him as a grandfather.

However, the title of Grand Duke Franz was still a little vacant, and the land closure did not appear to be under Austrian control, so the acquisition of the land closure was beyond expectations.

There are still many short-headed Habsburg families, such as the King of Jerusalem. If Austria could one day reclaim Jerusalem, it would be worthy of its name.

There were different good grandfathers, although the title was only honorable, but as the most beloved grandson of a man, he had inherited many legacies.

According to Franz, there were five plantations, two mines, several small workshops, and tens of thousands of Rhineland cash.

In this era, it was also a very large number. To support Franz's personal expenses, there was no problem at all.

"Yes, mom! You know I'm an adult and I can freely control my treasure!"

European cultural traditions differ from those in the East.The properties of parents and children are clearly divided.

Who would dare to mention this in Eastern society and still eat bamboo shoots, but in the West, Franz's request was completely normal.

Parents as guardians cannot continue to control their property once their children reach adulthood, including the benefits and costs of these estates, Franz can review.

"Well, this is your right! But given your age, I will not waive my mother's right to watch over the coming year. Your big expenses should be reported to me!" Madame Sophie thought for a moment and said

“No problem!” Franz said without hesitation.

This is a small problem. As long as you can regain the right to manage the property at hand, a report will be prepared. After all, your own money can be spent at will.

"Alright, then Franz will bring your financial staff to settle with me. After reducing your expenses over the years and my management fees for your industry, I will hand over all the remaining properties to you!" Bu Fei said calmly

The mother and child must also settle the account, so as to avoid hurting the feelings of both parties due to the relationship between money. In this case, the Sufi ma'am is ready.

Mom, I don't have to pay the bills, I'm sure you're human!" Franz flattered

For Franz, money was a small matter. As long as he spent it now, he could earn enough money in the future. No need to tangle.

Of course, this was only for the mother, with Sophie's knowledge, Franz didn't think he would be pitting his son's money.

"Frantz, this is your right. If you give up, don't regret it in the future, I will only be satisfied with you once!" Mrs. Sophie is serious

"Of course, mom, I know exactly what I'm doing!" Franz answered without hesitation.

...

In late 1846, Franz successfully completed the transfer of property. Some workshops that year no longer exist. The industrial era came, and the workshop-style production was outdated.

However, the land belonging to the nobility and the mines were still there, and the benefits at the moment were not bad, it could generate a net income of nearly 10,000 Rhine every year.

With high incomes and high spending, Franz looked at the ledger, and his expenses were higher than expected.In addition, a dozen private teachers were not a small expense.

And servants, servants, guards, tailors, charioteers ...

All of these expenses were borne by Franz himself. The maintenance obligation issue, however, is not good. You don't have to be old if you have money.

In short, he hadn't kept much money for many years, and all of his money had accrued to over 60,000 Rheinland Shields, which also included cash in the inheritance.

Sure enough, it was aristocratic style, so much money was saved, but he did not invest to make money, and Franz was too lazy to speak.

This is the status quo of the Austrian aristocracy, they have not completed the transition from the big aristocracy to the big bourgeoisie, everyone tends to be conservative in investment.
