The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven Chapter 53

War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria's Destiny Chapter 53 Thank you so much (add more for the second deacon)

Vienna, Imperial Garden.

Franz felt his forehead was wet, as if someone was licking him, there was warm breath all around, and the feeling of hair brushing his cheek.

Franz closed his eyes, thinking about what happened.

Just when Franz was thinking hard, he suddenly heard Madam Sophie's voice.

"Stop licking Franz, he'll be a fool."

At this moment Franz opened his eyes and saw Mrs. Sophie's Bernese Mountain Dog licking him.

Seeing that Franz woke up, "Frantz" yelled twice excitedly, and ran back to Madam Sophie's side.

"Mother, can you not name the dog and me?"

"Okay, the next one is Maximilian." Madam Sophie replied.

Franz was speechless for a while, seeing that the sky was already dark, and there was no trace of Thalia anywhere.

"Are you looking for Thalia?"

"Yes, I went out for a walk with her today."

"That poor girl..."

Franz frowned, did something bad happen in the palace?

"What's the matter with her? Mother."

"She's starving and has gone to eat."

"..." Franz became even more speechless, "Can you finish speaking in one breath?"

Madam Sophie walked up to Franz, opened her fan to cover her mouth and said.

"Are you talking to me in this tone?"

Then he grabbed Franz by the ear and walked towards his carriage.

In the carriage, Madam Sophie threw a list to Franz.

"Franz, you are very filial. You know that the products of my mother's clothing factory are unsalable, and the hoarded flour is about to rot in the warehouse... Tell me, what else do you know?"

"Mother, the military uniforms produced by garment factories cannot be sold, and what cannot be sold cannot make money.

The whole of European agriculture is having a bumper harvest, but you are hoarding flour. I think you must have heard the story that droughts cost money for boats, and water means money for cars. By analogy, you think it is correct to hoard grain during a good harvest.

But you have to believe in what you can, you have mortgaged all your property and my father's property, if I don't sell it for you, I think you will go bankrupt.

Strictly speaking, I don't think you have a talent for business. said Franz solemnly, deftly avoiding the question of what else to know.

Madam Sophie was a little annoyed, but what Franz said was true. If Franz hadn't helped her deal with this crisis, their family's reputation might be ruined.

But Mrs. Sophie had already laid out a big game of chess, and when she finished the game, she realized that she had no money, so she wanted to find ways to make money, but she really didn't have that talent.

But being said by his son was still very embarrassing. Anyway, there was no one else in the carriage, so he simply grabbed Franz's face and pulled him to both sides.

"Then I should thank you, Franz!"

"I don't think it's a lady's thing to use violence to bully a young child."

"Then what should children do if they don't listen to discipline?"

"Then you should enlighten him with reason."

Madam Sophie communicated with Franz for a while using physics.

"Frantz, was it really your idea to sell those goods to the Mexicans?"

"Yes." Franz didn't intend to lie, because Mrs. Sophie seemed to know already.

"You must feel..."

Before Franz could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Madam Sophie.

"I'm very happy, Franz, you are my best son. Maybe your father's IQ has been transferred to you, but anyway, you will definitely revitalize this family in the future."

Madam Sophie patted Franz's head and continued.

"Do you know what they call mother?"

"The only man of the House of Habsburg," replied Franz.

"I don't like this title. This title should belong to you and your father. What I want to say is, if you have anything to discuss with me, I can help you."

Franz narrowed his eyes, noticing something unusual.

"Mom, what did you mess up again?"

"Well... I have used all the grapes in your estate to make wine." Mrs. Sophie said.

"Just some grapes."

"Eh... The grapes in your estate are not in good condition, and the wine you make is rancid." Madam Sophie said again.

Franz frowned.

"Mother, do you want me to pay you back if you stole the grapes from my estate to make wine?"

"No, I actually sent all that wine into your cellar."

"..." Franz was speechless for a while.

"you..."

"Then all the wine in your wine cellar went bad..." Madam Sophie said apologetically.

"You are such a good mother. Do you know the value of those wines?"

Franz's wine cellar was actually the wine cellar of Prince Elthhazi's house. After the death of Franz II, he gave Franz his wine collection together. There are many fine wines in it. The total value exceeds 1.5 million florins.

"Frantz, you see that you have read so many books, is there any way to make those spoiled wines better."

"No!"

Osaka, February 1, 1837.

Due to years of poor harvests in the Osaka area, food prices have skyrocketed, and starvation is everywhere.

Oshio Heihachiro, a Confucian student of Yangming's mind, out of sympathy for the people at the bottom and also for the future of the Edo Shogunate, asked the town to open a warehouse to release food and relieve the victims.

However, Dingxing ignored this and even took advantage of the famine to collude with businessmen to raise grain prices for huge profits and embezzle farmers' land.

As a Japanese fan of Yangming Xinxue, he has practiced Yangminggong's "unity of knowledge and action~www.mtlnovel.com~ After several requests for orders were rejected, Oshio Heihachiro gathered his comrades and students and decided to overcome them. .

However, due to being reported by traitors, the uprising could only be forced to advance.

Oshio Heihachiro's uprising was quickly suppressed, but then someone used his name to launch another uprising on an unprecedented scale. Countless hungry and poor people flooded into rural cities, robbed food, and killed officials.

The Machiho who had repeatedly rejected Oshio Heihachiro's pleas and several hoarding businessmen were hanged on the square in the center of the city.

The uprising soon alarmed the shogunate, and the shogunate sent a large army to suppress it.

The rebel army with only simple farm tools was vulnerable to the shogunate army supported by the iron artillery team.

Although the uprising was suppressed, it also sounded the alarm for the shogunate.

At that time, Osaka was the center of the Japanese economy and was known as the "kitchen of the world". There was a riot of hungry people, which proved that the shogunate's exploitation of the people had reached an intolerable level.

Some people began to reform the tax system, wanting to cancel those unreasonable advance taxes and reduce the burden on farmers to ease domestic conflicts.

Some people saw the power of mind learning, and a frenzy of mind learning started all over Japan. After that, a large number of people who will leave a mark in Japanese history were born.

Among them was the later Japanese Navy Admiral Togo Heihachiro, who only had seven words on his waist card "bow your head and worship Yangming all your life".

Some rebels used the money they robbed to bribe Dutch businessmen to send them to Europe.

At that time, Japan only allowed merchants from the Dutch, the Qing Dynasty, and Portugal to trade in Japan. +Bookmark+
