Holy Roman Empire

It is Christmas again, because of the return of Jerusalem, this year's Christmas is particularly lively, and the whole Austria is Shen Qin in laughter.

Merchants also took the opportunity to launch activities, and the streets are full of discount promotion brands.In order to attract popularity, some shops also distributed candy and sunflower seeds for free.

Franz, who stood on the top of the building, picked up the telescope and looked at the bustling street, revealing a fascination.

The joy of ordinary people shopping, Franz has no chance to feel it.The life of ordinary people is not suitable for the emperor, this is the price of standing high.

Running out secretly is irresponsible.The emperor represented not only individuals, but also this country.

In the unlikely event of an accident, Austria will soon turn upside down.Do n’t look at the fact that Austria seems to be very stable. Franz knows that there are still many hidden dangers in this empire, but it is covered by the superficial prosperity.

It is not terrible for a country to have hidden dangers, and the solution is just that; what is scary is that if it knows that there are hidden dangers, and it turns a blind eye to death, the consequences will be serious.

Franz knows that there are many people who are dissatisfied with the government in China, the losers in the struggle for rights, the losers in the reform ...

There is resentment in these people's hearts, he can understand it.Understand and understand, it is still necessary to suppress.

Even if there is no dissatisfaction, since these people have not rebelled, then time can dilute everything, and Franz has not killed him.

There is a prerequisite for this, that is, they cannot be provided with opportunities.The rest just takes time, and slowly kills the fighting spirit by relying on the rice, oil and salt.

Just like the Hungarian independent organization that year, when everyone experienced social beatings and matured, the original bloody revolutionaries were defeated by reality.

Deep down in his heart, Franz has been reminding himself not to wave, not to wave, and after more than ten or twenty years, he trained his son and took the throne to the next pass, and he was free.

"What's so beautiful, you still have to come here in such a cold day?"

A familiar reputation came, and Franz put down the telescope in his hand and looked back at the person, showing a smile: "This is not Christmas time, I also look at how the folks celebrate the festival."

The seemingly relaxed answer is actually full of helplessness.People always miss after losing.

Queen Helen took the telescope from Franz and looked in the direction he had looked before, then frowned.

"Well, there are a lot of people on the street, but it's just too ugly to make Santa, and it's not artistic at all."

Franz couldn't help but chuckled."The taste of art" is such a tall thing, he is an emperor who knows nothing about it, not to mention the ordinary people who have to run around for rice, oil and salt every day?

The laughter angered Queen Helen and gave Franz a fierce look: "You are laughing at me, right?"

Although the question is bland, the eyes have already told Franz: You'd better give a reasonable explanation, otherwise don't think about it better this Christmas.

As a result of his wits, Franz thought of a reason: "No, it's just a little funny to think of Santa Claus outside.

If you look closely, do you have short legs with missing arms?It would be too embarrassing for the elderly if Santa Claus looked like this, and he would send blessings everywhere."

Seeing Queen Helen continue to look through the telescope, Franz quickly changed the subject and said: "Oh, what are you doing here? Don't tell me that I'm idle, I remember you are busy every Christmas."

This is true, the royal family also has to celebrate Christmas, these things are the queen in charge.Including preparing Christmas gifts for relatives and friends, and inviting guests to a banquet, it is also the Queen ’s job.

Seemingly remembering something, Queen Helen's face changed: "Oops, I still have a lot of things to do. Look at it for yourself, I will go first."

After that, he handed the telescope to Franz and turned to leave. Queen Helen added: "Frederick is almost 20 years old, and your father does not care about his lifelong event.

Do n’t forget that we have many sons, and there are limited suitable princesses of the same age in Europe.If you do n’t decide in advance, you will be worried later!"

After this episode, Franz did not continue to watch the lively desire.He really didn't pay attention, and there were more men and fewer women in the European royal family.

This is a sequelae of the butterfly effect. The birth rate of males in the Habsburg family is somewhat high, especially Franz has four sons, which directly breaks the balance between men and women in the European royal family.

This question was soon left behind by Franz.

In addition to the eldest son's consideration of political needs, he must be a householder. The other sons are not suitable, and they can marry low, or wait a few years.

In Franz's view, this is not a thing at all.As long as the standard of origin is lowered by one grade, candidates can increase at least two digits.

...

God seems to want to increase the festive atmosphere, night falls, snowflakes come quietly.

The cold wind didn't dispel the festive atmosphere. Every door of the house was decorated with garlands and snowmen, and a Christmas tree was placed in the house.

After a busy day, Ryan returned to his small bedroom, picked up the prepared materials, and began to make his own Christmas tree.

It's too late to start preparing now, but who makes Ryan poor?

Rennes is not a local. He came to Vienna to work hard this summer. He didn't have much savings in his pocket. This small bedroom of less than ten square meters was still rented by his teeth.

No way, Vienna claims to be the city with the highest per capita income in the world.But the problem lies in per capita. As the lowest level of society, Rennes is undoubtedly the object of being averaged.

Working hard in Vienna, apart from engaging in high-income fields such as finance, scientific research, education, and medical care, there are also poor people in the service industry.

According to the law, Christmas must be a holiday, with the exception of the service industry.If the business does not open the door on Christmas, how do you spend the holiday?

For the sake of overtime pay, Rennes decisively chose to work overtime.He knew that this kind of holiday, even the most stingy boss, would give overtime employees a Christmas gift.

Renn had good luck. The grocery store owner he followed was a devout religious believer. When Jerusalem returned this year, he was in a good mood and gave him a bag of flour and a 50-pound package.

This is how he grew up and received the best Christmas present.With this bag of flour, the rations next month will fall, far more practical than candy seeds.

With a good mood, Rennes completed the Christmas tree production in the shortest time.Ugly is a little ugly, but does not hinder his pursuit of a better life.

The choir in the church had gone from house to house and sang a Christmas carol in front of the church, and Renn was very excited.

He didn't realize this kind of treatment. Although there was a church in his hometown, there was only one priest, a choir, which is unique to the cathedral.

After watching the choir leave, Rennes fell silent.Working alone in a strange city without relatives and friends, he didn't know how to live the next time.

Looking at the prepared Christmas present, Ren smiled bitterly.Cities are different from their hometowns. Everyone has a strong sense of caution, and many people put a layer of camouflage on themselves.

When he first moved in, Rennes tried to contact his neighbors.However, the tenants living here are the lowest level of society, and they have to run around for their livelihood every day. They simply have no energy to receive more people and things.

Speaking politely, the tone of rejection was thousands of miles away, or Ren had given up his plans to make further friends, and he had no time to make friends.

Vienna is a city that never sleeps, so the staff working in the service industry are very fortunate.Although the Austrian "Labor Protection Law" provides for an 8-hour work system, this only exists in theory.

The 8-hour salary may survive in Vienna, but if you want to save money, you should work overtime!

Like most service industries, the grocery store where Rennes is located also works on two shifts. Except that it will be closed on Christmas evening, it will be open 24 hours a day.

In addition to the time of the last shift every day, the daily busy time is as high as 14 hours.These fourteen hours are still ideal numbers. The grocery store will replenish the goods every three days.

In this case, the boss will not hire extra people, they must work 3 to 5 hours of overtime.In terms of overtime pay, Rennes decided to work overtime.

Take two days off every month, don't think about anything, prepare to recharge!This is the daily life of an ordinary waiter in Vienna.

Rennes has not complained, and the situation in most factories will be worse.Perhaps the working hours may not be so long, but the working environment is completely incomparable.

There is also hope here that contacting different people and things every day can add a lot of insight, and if you work hard to observe, you can also learn a lot.

If you enter the factory, then quickly learn the technology!If you can't cross this threshold, it will be like that in your life.

Resisting not to let tears fall, Ren took out half of the roast goose he bought on the road, heated it by the stove, and turned over the potatoes that were roasting. This was his luxury Christmas dinner.

Late at night, the Christmas bell rang.
