Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Adjani is reporting to Mrs. Sophie what Archduke Franz has done during the day.

Mrs. Sophie frowned when she heard that, this prestigious Violet seemed to be nothing special, even a child couldn't handle it, so it was useless to spend so much time teaching her.

In fact, Adjani also felt very wronged, she was very good at tracking and searching, but the little prince seemed to know that he was being followed, so he called a horse...

No matter what she is, she only has two legs, how can she keep up.

In desperation, Adjani had to go to Franz's bedroom to try her luck. She successfully found three secret passages and a storage room that had been sealed for at least decades, but these were not what Mrs. Sophie wanted.

Mrs. Sophie just wants to know what Franz has done recently, if there is something she thinks is inappropriate, so that she can stop him in time, and she wants to know where the money Adjani said is?

If such a large amount of money is not kept properly, it will be missed by others sooner or later. Instead of taking advantage of others, it is better to give it to her, a mother, for safekeeping.

Franz was actually very interested in this beautiful female servant, but he also knew that Madam Sophie had sent her to keep an eye on him. After all, it was difficult for you to stop a mother's desire to control.

Historically, Mrs. Sophie has interfered in national politics several times because of her strong desire for control.

Even after Franz ascended the throne, he still affected the political situation. Due to the limitation of political vision, the Austrian Empire made several wrong decisions.

In the end, Austria was isolated and helpless in the Prussian-Austrian War. The second son Maximilian died in Mexico, and she herself passed away in extreme pain and self-blame.

In this life, Franz told Mrs. Sophie a lot of bedtime stories. Although it broadened her horizons, she still wanted to hold Franz firmly in her hands.

Franz is not a real child, so how can he accept other people's control? At the same time, under strict control, Franz could do very little.

If Franz really did nothing and waited for the chaos in 1848, then his wife would feel sorry for her status as a time traveler.

And who can guarantee that the troubled people in this world will not rush into the palace and exterminate the Habsburg family?

Franz often heard Thalia read the newspapers, and the most common thing he heard was the assassination of big shots.

Every month in the Austrian Empire, there will be several very bad assassinations, some because of money, some because of hatred, some because of lovers, separatists, anarchists, and some people even just want to prove that there is no one else in this world. he himself..

There are even more celebrities assassinated in this era, including but not limited to Lincoln with a big brain, Princess Sissi with more eyes, Toshimichi Okubo whose head was regarded as a football, and the first roller coaster passenger tsar in human history Alexander II...

Franz didn't want to add his own name, so he was the master of fate, not resigned to it.

Vienna, State Exchange.

Baron Brooke made a high-profile appearance at the Vienna Trading Center, and immediately attracted the attention of many bankers and speculators.

Although it was Archduke Franz Karl who swept the goods that day, no smart person would believe that a fool could have the entire Austrian financial world in his hands.

Along with Baron Brooke, there is also a large number of well-known Viennese rich and famous people, as well as bankers and famous speculators.

Baron Brooke invited almost all potential investors in Vienna. He publicly announced that he would hoard grain, because neither the people nor the country could do without grain, and it was impossible for the European continent to have a good harvest every year. Now is a good time to buy grain.

However, this point of view is not new at all. Countless people have tried it before, and they all lost their fortunes and left the game with hatred.

And due to the opening of the German Customs Union, grain from Prussia actually entered Austria in the reverse direction. Now there is too much grain in the Austrian market, and some grain-producing areas have begun to reduce production to control prices and costs.

The crowd of onlookers suddenly decreased by half. The rest of the people were mostly just trying to save Baron Brooke's face, and their minds had already flown elsewhere.

Baron Brook threw one million florins to buy wheat on the spot, and one million florins was a lot, but in the entire market, there was nothing to stir up. Except for a very small number of people, no one followed the investment.

After that, Baron Brook would go to the trading center every day and place an order of one million florins. This kind of order was usually only enough for a big businessman, so someone would be willing to offer Baron Brook a discount.

This situation continued until the seventh day, Baron Brook had no money, but fortunately Madam Sophie entered in time.

In fact, Mrs. Sophie was very puzzled by this crazy behavior, but his Franz had never disappointed her, and she believed that Baron Brooke's professional level would never be swayed by a child.

However, Mrs. Sophie and Grand Duke Franz Karl actually didn't have much working capital. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com managed to make one million florins through patchwork.

On the eighth day, the Taffy family of Moravia entered the arena. As a big local tyrant in Moravia, the financial resources of the Taffy family should not be underestimated.

Edward Taffy's father, Thomas Taffy, came to Vienna with three million. He received the news a month ago. At first he couldn't believe it, but he still decided to take a gamble.

At this time, the price of grain in Austria finally started to rise, because the spot stock had been bought almost, and the inventory had dropped to a dangerous value.

The abnormal fluctuations in grain prices caught the attention of Solomon Rothschild. He felt that this was a good opportunity for revenge, because the grain mortgages he had received due to debt problems over the years had piled up.

As long as he makes a move now, he can immediately suppress the price of food to the previous price, or even lower than before.

In this way, Solomon not only solves the backlog of inventory, but also allows the return of funds. This is no reason for him to refuse, who has suffered heavy losses in the railway transaction.

As a result, Solomon Rothschild sold the spot in his hand twice, and once again brought the food price of the Austrian Empire back to its original position.

Just when Solomon was celebrating his successful revenge, a heavyweight player of the royal family appeared on the stage. As the richest nobleman in Austria, Archduke Karl's every move could attract extra attention.

In the end, Grand Duke Karl placed a huge order of 15 million florins, which directly ignited the grain trading market. For a while, a large number of speculators poured in, almost wiped out Austria's grain spot.

The grain trade in Austria is booming. How can the Prussians, as good neighbors of Austria, let go of this good opportunity to break the cold water?
