Holy Roman Empire

Traveling abroad is also very expensive, the life of the Austrian nobility is very corrupt, and Franz has not yet achieved freedom of property.

Now, Franz ’s income is very limited, mainly from the parents to give money, to be precise from the pocket money from the mother.

Because of his father's disregard for the matter, the financial power of the family fell into the hands of Mrs. Sophie, and Franz had not yet obtained the property in his own name.

Of course, it is easy to make money in his capacity, but Franz loves feathers.

The current European environment is not suitable for investing in industries. There is more than a year before the February Revolution in France will explode, and it will quickly spread to the entire European continent. All countries except Russia will be troubled by the revolution.

In history, Vienna has fallen into the hands of rebels. If he was unlucky, the rebels burned the factory. Where did he cry?

There are many profiteering businesses, such as arms, drugs, counterfeit banknotes, lottery tickets. Franz thinks that it is more suitable for him to mine or salvage shipwrecks.

After thinking about it, Franz had to give up these attractive money-making schemes. The reason is very simple. He is the heir of the Austrian Empire, not an ordinary capitalist.

Conservatives do not want to see a capitalist emperor, the Vienna Revolution is about to erupt, and Franz can not do without the support of conservatives.

"Franz, are you studying again? Young people should be more active, you are too dull, why not go hunting with me?"

It was his current father, Grand Duke Franz Karl, a very unstable man, whose biggest hobby seemed to be hunting, and the second hobby was to take several sons to hunt.

As a member of the Regency Committee, Archduke Franzcar is the least sensed member. Because of the birth defects, his intelligence is very low, and it is too difficult for him to participate in politics.

If it were not for his high status, the Austrian Regency Committee would not let him in.

"Father, you should go on your own. I still have to visit Grand Duke Louis today, and I have no time to hunt!" Franz quickly refused.

This is a sequelae of being too young. Although Franz is very mature, in the eyes of many people, he is still just a child.

When Franz Karl was normal, he was still a good father, and he was still very concerned about him, but Franz could not bear this kind of concern.

...

"Mother, you know, I have been spending a lot of money lately ..."

Waiting for Franz to finish talking, Mrs. Sophie said, "So you want to take back your property, right?"

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

Since both the father and the uncle had some arrears in their brains, as the eldest son of the third generation of the royal family, after confirming that the brain was normal, his grandfather was very happy to enclose him as the grand duke.

However, the title of the Grand Duke of Franz is still a bit virtual, and the landforms do not seem to be under the control of Austria, so the benefits of the landforms cannot be expected.

There are still many such short-selling titles in the Habsburg family. For example, the King of Jerusalem, if Austria can regain Jerusalem one day, then it is true.

A good grandfather is different. Although the title is only honorable, as the most beloved grandson, he still inherited a huge amount of legacy.

As far as Franz knows, it includes five manors, two mines, several small workshops, and tens of thousands of rupees in cash.

(A Rhine Shield gold coin weighs 8 grams, and the gold content depends on the mincer's ethics, there is no uniform standard)

In this era, it is also a huge sum of money. It is no problem to support Franz's personal expenses.

"Yes, mother! You know I have grown up and can control the property freely!" Franz answered simply.

The cultural traditions in Europe are different from those in the East. The property of parents and children are clearly separated.

In Eastern society, who would dare to mention this and keep a meal of fried bamboo shoots, but in the West, Franz ’s request is completely normal.

As guardians, after the children reach adulthood, the parents cannot continue to control their property, including the benefits and expenses of these estates, Franz can go to check the accounts.

"Okay, this is your right! But considering your age, I will not give up my mother's right to supervise in the next year. Your large expenses must be reported to me!" Mrs. Sophie said after thinking about it.

"No problem!" Franz said without hesitation

These are minor problems. As long as you can get back the property management rights in your hands, you can report them. Anyway, you can spend your money casually.

"Well, then Franz will bring your financial staff to settle with me, after deducting your expenses for these years, and after my management fees for your property have passed, I will hand over all the remaining property to you!" Su Mrs. Fei said calmly

The mother and child must also settle accounts, so as to avoid hurting the feelings of both sides because of the relationship of money. In this regard, Mrs. Sophie has already prepared.

"Mother, I don't need to settle, I believe you are a man!" Franz said flatly

For Franz, money is a small problem, as long as it is enough to spend now, he has a way to get enough money in the future, there is no need to entangle these.

Of course, this was only for the mother. With his knowledge of Mrs. Sophie, Franz didn't think she would rob her son's money.

"Franz, this is your right. If you give up, don't regret it in the future, I will only settle with you once!" Mrs. Sophie said seriously

"Of course, mother, I know what I am doing!" Franz replied without hesitation

...

At the end of 1846, Franz successfully completed the transfer of property. Several workshops of the year no longer existed. The industrial era came, and workshop-style production has long lagged behind the era.

However, the manor and mine are still there, and the current benefits are not bad. It can generate a net income of nearly ten thousand Rhine shields every year.

The income is high and the expenses are large. Franz looks at the account book. His expenses are higher than expected. Not to mention the dozen or so private teachers, it is not a small expense.

There are also servants, maids, bodyguards, tailors, coachmen ...

All these expenses are borne by Franz himself. The problem of supporting obligations, it is better not to talk about it. It is not necessary for me to have old money if I have money.

In short, he has not saved much money in these years, and all the cash added up to more than 60,000 Rhine Shield, which also includes the cash in the heritage.

Sure enough, it was a noble style, so much cash was saved, and there was no investment to make money, and Franz was too lazy to talk.

This is the status quo of the Austrian nobility. They have not completed the transition from the big nobility to the big bourgeoisie. Everyone tends to be conservative in investment.
