The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven Chapter 35

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Franz was lying on Talia's lap, listening to her read the newspaper.

The price of land in the United States has gradually become outrageous, which is expected by Franz.

But what Franz didn't expect was that this land craze gradually developed from the east coast of the United States to the west.

This made Franz a little flustered, because in Franz's plan, the pig in the United States could cut several stubbles.

At this time, every piece of land sold by the U.S. government is at a premium. Even so, buyers will make a lot of money within a few days.

Fortunately, the war to expel the Indians in the United States prevented the real estate frenzy from spreading to the west.

Otherwise, Franz would have to consider whether he should buy land in the west more than ten years in advance.

The super bumper wheat harvest in the UK led to the dumping of wheat all over the UK, causing the price of wheat to plummet by 40%.

Austria's wheat harvest is also bumper, but fortunately there are German Zolluge and Italy to dump, while Hungary is gloomy.

Hungarian wheat suddenly lost its market, which also led a large number of landowners to switch to other crops to make up for the shortfall. This evil result will appear in a few years.

The Imperial faction represented by Szechenyi has the upper hand, and the Hungarian Kingdom faction has always had the upper hand in history.

However, due to the sudden loss of power of Prince Elthhazi, coupled with Austria's successful entry into the German Customs Union, the power of the original Kingdom faction was severely damaged, and at the same time, the power of the Imperial faction was strengthened.

Imperial faction: They support Austria's rule of Hungary, hope that Austria and Hungary will be fully integrated, and believe that Hungary's departure from Austria is tantamount to self-destruction. The best way to protect its own rights and interests is to let the empire see the value of Hungary.

Most of these people belonged to the emerging aristocrats and capitalists in Hungary, as well as the big aristocrats who had lived in Austria for a long time and recognized Austrian culture.

Kingdom faction: that is, they demand self-government, put Hungary's interests first, hope to rebuild the Kingdom of Hungary, and draw a clear line with Austria.

These people considered the Austrians to be brigands who took their property and kingdom from them. The power of the Hungarians must be in the hands of the Hungarians. The Hungarians should not work for Austria or the Habsburg family. They should let Austria and the Habsburg family repay their debts to Hungary.

Some of these people are traditional land aristocrats, holding a lot of land in their hands, many of whom live in Vienna and Paris.

They have their own territory in Hungary and can control taxation, justice, and even organize the army. These great nobles opposed Austria, more just to grab more benefits.

The most important supporters of the Kingdom faction are the so-called "single-clothed nobles". "Single-clothed nobles" means that except for one nobleman who is so poor that he only has one piece of clothing to wear.

These people are extremely poor, desperate to change the status quo, and want to achieve class leap through violent seizure of power.

Austrian explorer Costa will organize a team to explore the Amazon rainforest to find the mysterious kingdom hidden in the depths of the rainforest. He is now looking for sponsorship from philanthropists, and the distribution of benefits can be discussed in detail.

This news caught the attention of Franz, who didn't care about the mysterious kingdom in the tropical rainforest.

As far as Franz knew, there were only a few indigenous tribes inside, let alone any treasures.

What Franz wanted was the seed of a plant that would one day change the world.

"Talia, can I contact this explorer?"

"The rumors are all lies. If you have too much money to spend, you can consider improving the food." Thalia looked down at Franz and said.

"I don't want any treasure, I want the seed of a plant."

"Plants? There are no plants in the Royal Greenhouse. Can you eat them?" Thalia asked.

"Ahem, no. But it is said that it is a plant that can shed tears. Don't you want to see it?" Franz tried to arouse Talia's interest.

"A plant that sheds tears, won't it affect people's mood? It's a sad plant, and it can't be eaten." Thalia complained.

"Haven't you heard that you base your happiness on the pain of others?" Franz said.

"Grand Duke Franz, you are wrong. You cannot base your happiness on the pain of others," Thalia said.

"Now that I can't see the tearing plant, I'm in pain. If I'm in pain, I want to base my happiness on the pain of others." Franz pinched Thalia's thigh as he said. one time.

Talia begged for mercy.

"Well, you convinced me. Now tell me, what do you want those rubber seeds for? If you like to play billiards, ivory is better. Rubber is too soft."

Franz had bad memories of pool and had to be hugged to play because he was so short.

It's not good at all to be used as a hug pillow without any autonomy.

Chenla, Kampson.

Ambrosius who arrived in Kampong felt that he was cheated. Where is the port here, it is obviously a fishing village.

The surrounding Chenla people looked at Ambrosius and his party with horrified eyes.

The ancestors of these local people were not fishermen, but honest peasants. However, Vietnam and Siam invaded one after another, resulting in barren fields and people's livelihood.

The government of Chenla resisted the invasion of Vietnam and Siam by force, but colluded with bandits and bullies instead, UU reading www.uukanshu. com has intensified its efforts to exploit the common people.

Their ancestors ran to this uninhabited beach as fishermen in order to survive.

Guan Jinpan still had official prestige, and he immediately gave an order, scaring the local officials to sit on the ground.

"This place will be under the command of An Qianhu from now on, don't worry about it, and be careful not to lose your head."

It was the first time for the local officials to see the second-rank Dayuan, and heard that the five-rank Qianhu was named An, so it was naturally associated with the country's surname.

As for the emperor's relatives, why did they come to this remote place? After thinking about it, the petty official could easily come to the conclusion that the surname of this country looks so weird, he is afraid that he was kicked out from Phnom Penh.

Now the little official figured it out, and immediately shut up, since there were not many people in his place anyway, this An Qianhu could do whatever he wanted.

Although Ambrosius was dissatisfied, these Catholic priests were extremely happy. They did not expect to gain a foothold so easily. This was a big step for the church in Southeast Asia.

You know, the French, the Spaniards, and the Dutch have been here, but they don't even have a church left, let alone a stronghold.

And once the Austrian Empire establishes a port here, they will be able to preach in Chenla with peace of mind.

These Catholic priests have told their colleagues about Kampson along the way, and believe that the Catholics in Chenla will come to Kampson to settle down soon.

The two officers brought by Ambrosius were also very happy. After all, this is a small colony. They may be recorded in history as the first batch of colonists in the history of the Austrian Empire.

Only the diplomat Zaker is worried because he knows that Austria has no plans to expand in Southeast Asia at this time, nor does it have the strength to expand.
