Holy Roman Empire

"Franz, what's going on with you recently, why did you drop so much homework?"

Not waiting for Franz to speak, her mother Princess Sophie of Bavaria has begun to explode.

This is the sequelae, and as time goes by, the character of Franz ’s good child also starts to collapse, and the decline in performance is one of them.

"Unfortunately, respect Madam Sophie. The courses you have arranged for me exceed my ability to bear. There are so many nobles in Europe. Whose studies are as important as me?" Franz questioned.

"Franz, are you accusing me of abusing you?" Madame Sophie said somberly

"Dear Mrs. Sophie, I do n’t mean to blame you, but you also know how heavy my course is.

Human energy is limited. With so many subjects, my study time is simply not enough. Now I still have to participate in military training. A decline in performance is inevitable!

The best way is to cut down some unnecessary courses so that my grades can get better!"Franz said plausibly.

"Yes, Franz, do you think you have grown up, your wings are stiff, can you not listen to my mother?" Princess Sophie said with a sneer

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

Often, as long as they think they are good for their children, they will persevere and persevere. At this time, it is not easy to persuade her.

However, he can't counsel now, and it's even more sad not to direct his life in the face.

Franz said seriously: "Dear Mrs. Sophie, as the heir to the Austrian Empire, the knowledge I need to learn is different from ordinary people.

What you are training now is an imperial emperor, not a knowledgeable scholar. Is so many complicated courses useful for governing this country?

If you think I ’m lazy, then you can try it yourself. I have 28 homework courses now, and I still have two hours a day to receive military training!"

Princess Sophie is in deep contemplation. This is a difference in European education. It is very common to hit your parents. As long as it makes sense, your parents will usually accept it.

Although this era is not very enlightened, the mainstream education model is still cultivating obedient workers. This is the need of the ruling class, but Franz is the crown prince, but no one dares to demand imprisonment.

European nobles can live forever. In fact, they are inseparable from their education. Do n’t look at their political conservatism. That ’s the need for interests. In terms of child education, European nobles have always been very advanced.

After a moment of work, Mrs. Sophie accepted Franz ’s claim, but the doubts in his heart were not dispelled, and he asked: "What are you going to do?"

Franz said seriously: "Dear Mrs. Sophie, I am 16 years old and I am no longer a child. I know very well what I am doing now, and I understand what I need to do!

Theoretical knowledge is not equal to the real society. I have lived in the palace since I was small. What I have seen and learned is what you think I should see.

However, there are too many questions and loopholes in it. You should know that my teacher is often dumb and silent.

I do n’t know what the world is like and what the Austrian Empire is now.

If I do n’t go out and get to know the real situation of this country, I can only learn about my uncle in the future and become a puppet emperor with peace of mind!"

Princess Sophie's face changed drastically, and Franz accused him silently.In the end it was still the royal family, she quickly suppressed her anger and said:

"Franz, don't forget that you are only 16 years old. If you want to understand this country, there is time. Now, what you need most is learning!"

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

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

"Franz, you are too suspicious. The world is not so bad. If you want to understand the world, you can read the newspaper!" Princess Sophie said pale.

"Mother, do n’t forget, suspiciousness is the most basic quality of a qualified monarch! As for newspapers, the inspection system of Austrian newspapers, do n’t you know?" Franz asked back.

Read the newspaper to understand the world?Franz instantly remembered the man who was punished by the newspaper and Yuan was in disrepair.

Will this happen in Austria?Franz didn't dare to draw conclusions, but as long as interest groups needed it, printing a newspaper was not a big deal.

The two faced each other's eyes, and no one would admit defeat, stalemate.

After a moment of effort, Franz took the initiative to relax the atmosphere.

"Dear Mrs. Sophie, have you noticed that today the agriculture in the German region is owed?"

"I know a little, but what does this have to do with you?" Madame Sophie asked doubtfully.

Franz shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with it now, but it has to do with me in the future! The lack of food in the German region means that the living standards of the local people have declined. If the government is unable to deal with it, it will probably inspire Civil change!

Although these civil coups will soon be suppressed, and even the news will not reach Vienna, the conflict between the people at the bottom and the government is intensifying.

There will be no problems in the short term, but with the passage of time, the affected people have to enter the city to ask for life, and the bourgeoisie has cheaper labor.

Austria will even become more prosperous, but contradictions have been increasing. One day in the future, it will be detonated. Think about the French Revolution!"

"Franz, you are alarmist!" Madame Sophie said pale.

Franz said seriously: "No, I don't! Dear Mrs. Sophie, I have studied the French Revolution.

In 1788, there was a drought in France, which resulted in a decline in French grain output and difficulties for ordinary people.And the contradiction between the domestic bourgeoisie and the nobility has intensified, just like our current reformers and conservatives in China.

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

"Are you saying that there will be a revolution in Austria? Franz, do you think I will believe it?" Mrs. Sophie said angrily

Franz shook his head and said, "Dear Mrs. Sophie, this is just my personal preliminary judgment. Austria will have a revolution. There is too little information in my hand. I need more information to be able to judge.

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