Frantz, what's going on with you lately, why is your homework so much?"
Before Franz spoke, the mother's Bavarian Princess Sophie had begun to erupt.
This is the sequelae. With the passage of time, Franz's good children have begun to collapse, and the decline in performance is one of them.
"Sorry, respect Mrs. Sophie. The courses you have arranged for me are more than I can afford. With so many European nobles, who has such a heavy academic load?" Franz questioned
"Franz, are you accusing me of abusing you?" Madame Sophie said grimly.
"Dear Mrs. Sophie, I don't mean to blame you, but you also know how heavy my classes are.
Human energy is limited. With so many assignments, my study time is simply not enough. I still have to participate in military training. The decline in performance is inevitable!
The best way is to cut some unnecessary courses so that my grades can get better! "Franks said with a smile on his face.
"Really, Franz, do you think you have grown up and you have hard wings, can you not listen to your mother?" Princess Sophie sneered.
Franz knew it was bad, and it looked like he still underestimated a mother's desire to control.
Often as long as she thinks that she is good for her children, she will persist in desperation. At this time, it is not easy to persuade her.
However, he could not counsel now, and it would be even more difficult to command afterwards.
Franz said solemnly: "Dear Mrs. Sophie, as heir to the Austrian Empire, what I need to learn is different from ordinary people.
What you are training now is an emperor emperor, not a knowledgeable scholar. So many complicated courses are useful to govern this country?
If you think I'm lazy, then you can try it out for yourself. I now have 28 lessons, two hours a day, and are receiving military training! "
Princess Sophie is in deep thought. This is a difference in European education. It is very common to confront parents. As long as it makes sense, parents usually accept it.
Although this era is not very enlightened, the mainstream education model is still training obedient workers, which is needed by the ruling class, but Franz is the crown prince, but no one dares to demand imprisonment.
European aristocrats can flourish, and in fact they are inseparable from their education. Don't look at them, they are usually very conservative in politics. That is the need for benefits. European children have always been very advanced in the education of their children.
After a few moments, Mrs. Sophie accepted Franz's statement, but the doubts in his heart were not dispelled, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Franz solemnly said: "Dear Mrs. Sophie, I am 16 years old and no longer a child. I know exactly what I am doing now and what I need to do!
The theoretical knowledge is not equal to the real society. I have lived in the royal palace since I was a child. What I see and understand is what you think I should see.
But there are too many questions and loopholes in it. You should know that my teachers are often dumb.
I do n't know what the world looks like or what the Austrian Empire looks like now.
If you do n't go out and learn about the real situation in this country, I will only be able to learn from my uncle and be a puppet emperor with peace of mind! "
Princess Sophie's face changed greatly, and Franz was silently accusing it. In the end, she was still from the royal family. She quickly suppressed the anger and said:
"Frantz, don't forget that you are only 16 years old. If you want to learn about this country, you have time. Now what you need most is learning!"
Franz shook his head and said cautiously, "No, my mother! I don't have that much time. When you think I can understand this country, I can no longer see the real situation in this country.
The bureaucrats have a way to only show me what they need to show me, but the real social situation is not what I can understand! "
"Franz, you are too suspicious. The world is not so bad. To understand the world, you can read the newspaper!" Princess Sophie said pale.
"Mother don't forget, suspicious is the most basic quality of a qualified monarch! As for newspapers, Austria's book inspection system, aren't you clear?" Franz asked rhetorically.
Read the newspaper to understand the world? Franz remembered for a moment that the head of Yuan was pitted by the newspaper, and finally lost his reputation.
Will this happen in Austria? Franz is still afraid to draw conclusions, but as long as the interest groups need it, printing a newspaper is not a big deal.
The two of them stared at each other, who refused to admit defeat and stalemate.
After continuing for a while, Franz took the initiative to relax the atmosphere.
"Dear Mrs. Sophie, have you noticed that agriculture in Germany is under-collected today?"
"Know a little, but what does this have to do with you?" Madam Sophie asked in confusion.
Franz shook his head and said, "Now it has nothing to do with it, but it will have something to do with me in the future! The lack of food in the German region means that the living standards of the local people will decline. People's Revolution!
Although these civilian uprisings will soon be suppressed, and even news will not reach Vienna, the contradictions between the people at the bottom and the government are intensifying.
There will be no problems in the short term, but over time, the affected people will have to enter the city to discuss their lives, and the bourgeoisie will have cheaper labor.
Austria will become even more prosperous, but contradictions will continue to increase, and one day it will be detonated. Think of the French Revolution! "
"Franz, you are alarmist!" Said Mrs. Sophie pale.
Franz solemnly said: "No, I don't! Dear Mrs. Sophie, I have studied the French Revolution.
A drought in France in 1788 caused a decline in French food production and made life difficult for ordinary people. The contradictions between the domestic bourgeoisie and the aristocracy have intensified, just like the reformers and conservatives in our country.
In the end, the government representing the interests of the nobles ignited Mars by raising taxes on the bourgeoisie. The French Revolution broke out and killed the Bourbon dynasty! "
"You mean there will be a revolution in Austria? Franz, do you think I will believe it?" Madame Sophie said angrily
Franz shook his head and said, "Dear Mrs. Sophie, this is just my initial judgment. Whether there will be a revolution in Austria. I have too little information in my hand, and I need to know more information before I can judge.
I think this subject is more important than that of a lot of homework. As the empire's crown prince, I need to understand the real situation of this ancient empire! "
