Schönbrunn Palace, Franz Study.

Adjani put a bulging envelope on Franz's desk.

"what is this?"

"Mr. Solomon Rothschild's bribe, if I don't take something from him, how can smart people believe what I say?"

Franz nodded, and then noticed that Adjani seemed to have changed to a new earring.

"what is that?"

Ajani snorted.

"mean!"

Then he took off the earrings and put them on the envelope.

Franz put the earrings into an exquisite box, closed the lid and handed it to Adjani solemnly.

"I sent you this."

Ajani opened the box and put the earrings back on.

"Stinky boy, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I can still coax people."

As he spoke, he walked around the table and sat directly on Franz's lap.

"Are you teasing me?"

"No, I just think it's not good for you to take the stolen goods from Solomon, so I'll give you another one." Franz replied.

"You're still too tender." Adjani said deliberately in Franz's ear.

Just when Franz thought the other party's teasing was over, Ajani shook the wallet in her hand.

Franz snatched it away.

"When will you change your habit of petty theft?"

"Why change it? It's a survival skill!" Ajani retorted.

"Are you from aristocratic background? Do you still need to learn this?" Franz asked with some doubts.

"Aren't you an exiled nobleman now?" Ajani said with some resentment.

"Do you want a title? I can help you."

"In no mood."

"Well, what about the stock market's earnings?"

"About 15%."

"Very few."

"It's quite a lot. This is several million florins, which is equivalent to half a year's income of a small country."

Adjani has refreshed her understanding of money several times around Franz. She used to think that usury merchants were the most profitable industry, and those kings and emperors often had to borrow money to survive.

Looking at it now, it is still easy for the superior to make money. The borrowing of those high-ranking and powerful people is not necessarily a manifestation of lack of money, but it is certain that the desire is hard to fill.

Just like the little guy in front of him, I really don't know when he will be satisfied, but I think it is true. Compared with Franz's dream, the money is really insignificant.

It's just that the dream is too illusory, and Adjani still doesn't know whether Franz is joking or really wants to do it.

"What about the construction plan for the Semmering Railway? Has it passed?" Franz asked.

"Are you talking about a reinforced concrete structure? Experts from the Austrian Engineering Association looked at it and said it was a genius design. The two materials of cement and steel have been around for a long time, but no one has thought of combining them for decades. Putting them together as building materials is a genius idea."

Adjani seemed a little excited when she spoke, because she still remembered how those experts went from contempt to admiration, and then to tears.

"So when will the railroad be finished?"

"Two to three years, although this new structure can solve the problem of the viaduct, the terrain is still very complicated, and engineers need enough time to overcome this problem."

Ajani paused at this point, and continued.

"Now there is still a problem, that is, the quality of the cement produced in Austria is not good, and the hardness is not up to the standard in all aspects. If you want to complete the viaduct, you must buy Portland cement from the UK."

"Portland cement?"

"Yes, a high-strength cement. But the British keep the recipe secret, and it's expensive, plus shipping costs, and that's astronomical."

After understanding the ratio of cement materials at this time, Franz found that he was still too proud. The modern cement should be called Portland cement, and he found nothing wrong with the formula after searching for a long time.

So he had to offer a reward for the development of cement formula. According to Franz's estimation, the reason why Austrian cement is not as good as British cement should be the problem of proportioning.

Maybe the silicon content is not enough, maybe some iron or aluminum should be added, in short, Franz wrote out his conjecture, and the rest will be left to those professional scientists to study the ratio.

Franz was annoyed by the delay in the opening of the railway in Trieste, so he had to go out and find a way to speed it up.

The newspapers in Vienna are full of recent news about Friedrich leading an army to attack Alexandria and Franz leading troops to recover Belgrade.

There is no country that does not like to show off its martial arts, and Austria is no exception. The reason why they did not like to mention wars before is because they have been defeated repeatedly.

Now the reason for advocating war every day is because of victory. Although this kind of atmosphere is not good, it is undoubtedly a booster for this country that has been silent for too long.

Whether it is defeating Egypt and robbing other people's fleet, or recovering Belgrade, it is a big victory worth celebrating for the Austrian Empire.

Although Franz encountered little resistance on his way back to Belgrade, the editors of the newspaper would not have written so.

How can a political victory be as happy as a military victory? So this political victory became a foolish Prince Metternich fell into a trap, and the heroic Archduke Franz led his army to defeat the evil Ottomans, and cut off the opponent's beard with a sword, saving Belle. Glad's story.

Don’t think it’s absurd. In the textbooks of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it once said with certainty that “Emperor Franz led the hussars to charge and beheaded dozens of enemy soldiers in the Battle of Solferino~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The legend about Franz became more and more outrageous. Although he didn't care too much, the whole incident was developing in a strange direction with the help of caring people.

"The Grand Duke Franz is the illegitimate son of Madame Sophie and Napoleon II." An extremely vicious rumor appeared in the newspaper.

Although the newspaper was immediately ordered to shut down, and all the staff of the newspaper, from the editor-in-chief to the reporters, to the workers in charge of typesetting and printing, were all imprisoned for secret interrogation, but the rumors still spread like wildfire.

"I Have a Book of Ghosts and Gods"

This rumor immediately wiped out all the glory that Franz had received before, and even the reputation of the Habsburg family was damaged.

Franz was not interested in verifying the authenticity of this rumor. He just wanted to know why the source of a rumor made in Vienna had not been found for so long.

It was the first time that Franz faced such a great pressure since he crossed. Because this rumor is tantamount to denying the legitimacy and legitimacy of his succession to the throne from the root.

Franz looked in the mirror and saw his chestnut hair, which should have nothing to do with the black hair of the Napoleon family.

Just after he breathed a sigh of relief, he was bumped into by Ajani, and Franz didn't hide it.

"Napoleon's hair was black?"

Ajani said with some embarrassment.

"Uh... Grand Duke Franz. I checked, and there are several theories, maroon, deep red gold, brown. And Napoleon II has the blood of the Habsburg family..."

This made Franz, who still wanted to do a blood test, a little speechless.
