The goal was achieved, and the two continued to chat, as if nothing had happened just now. In fact, Franz had already hinted that he accepted the favor of Grand Duke Louis.
It is not easy to repay the debt of favor, but for Franz, sometimes it is not a good thing to owe a few more favors.
For example, now, he has hooked up with the conservative leader, and everyone can be considered his own.
Otherwise, why did Franz come to him and let him sell this favor? Could it be that as the crown prince of the empire, if you want to enter the royal guard, is there no other way
Obviously it does not exist. As long as Franz is willing, even if he does not have any position, he can intervene in it. The royal guard only serves the royal family. The first object of allegiance is the emperor, and the crown prince is the second object of allegiance.
"Uncle Louis, it's not very peaceful in the country recently!" Franz asked pretending to be curious
"Well, it's not like our Prime Minister is calling for reform every day. Now a bunch of capitalists have turned into reformers, seeking benefits under the banner of patriotism.
Our Prime Minister pretends to be invisible, staring at our nobles every day, as if it is a cancer that hinders Austria's progress! ' said Archduke Louis angrily.
Does Prime Minister Metternich ignore the bourgeoisie? So what does the secret police do? It can't be used to arrest nobles, right
As a representative of the aristocracy, Prime Minister Metternich not only harmed everyone's interests on the issue of the abolition of serfs, but most of the time he was the defender of the interests of the aristocracy!
Of course, you can just think about these words, Franz will never say them. The leader of the Austrian conservatives in front of him is talking about this in front of him, isn't he drawing hatred
"Uncle Louis, since capitalists can use the name of patriotism to play the banner of reform, we nobles can also hold high the banner of reform!" Franz smiled.
This is a good habit developed by Franz. For some reason, he likes to dig holes everywhere after crossing.
"Oh, Franz, are you kidding me?" asked Archduke Louis in disbelief.
The nobles hold high the banner of reform, isn't this nonsense? You must know that the current reforms are all cutting the flesh of the nobles and letting them cut their own flesh. Is this possible
Franz explained: "Of course, Uncle Louis, I'm not a joker! The capitalists can propose reforms, but can't we nobles propose reforms?"
Grand Duke Louis fell into contemplation, the Austrian Empire must reform, this is a consensus, but this reform can not hurt their interests, this is the reason why conservatives oppose reform.
Franz's proposal, in his opinion, is to let the nobles take the initiative to seize the right to reform.
He did not suspect that Franz had bad intentions, because the bourgeoisie is also the enemy of the royal family, and the capitalists leading the reform must first deprive the emperor of his rights.
This is only the moderates. If the radical bourgeoisie is replaced, they will be the masters of the republic. As long as you refer to Charles I and Louis XVI, no emperor will have a good impression of them.
Franz, the crown prince, is no exception, and his butt decides his position. When Franz talks to him now, doesn't he emphasize "we" again and again? This is determined by class, and the royal family and nobles naturally stand together.
"Franz, what plan do you have, can you tell me in detail?" Grand Duke Louis asked with concern
Now he doesn't dare to underestimate Franz. Judging from the contact just now, he is clearly a little fox, and his political tactics are very smooth.
"Uncle Louis, have you noticed that the bourgeoisie demanded the liberation of serfs under the banner of freedom and equality?" Franz asked
"Of course, that group of people shouts every day, in addition to these, they also put forward a lot of unreasonable demands for constitutional reform, ethnic autonomy and so on.
Essentially, it's not for your own benefit. Their factories lack cheap labor, and they want to abolish serfdom, and they are actually a bunch of vampires.
You must know that most of the workers do not live as well as the serfs. We will at least provide the serfs with food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and support them when they are old.
But the evil capitalists are not so kind. Once they become their workers, very few can survive for ten years. Once they get older, they will be driven out to fend for themselves.
He worked hard for them all his life, but he ended up on the streets. May God punish these vampires! ' said Archduke Louis angrily.
I have to admit that Grand Duke Louis told part of the truth. The capitalists in this era are really dark, and the lives of most workers are not as good as those of serfs, which is not wrong.
Judging from the average life expectancy, the average life expectancy in the city is 3 to 5 years lower than that in the countryside. The cruelty of the capitalists can be seen in general.
After ordinary workers enter the factory, they are abolished for almost ten years, and most of them do not live to the age of forty.
However, most nobles are also not good things. Everyone is a vampire, and no one is nobler than the other.
"Uncle Louis, I know all these things. Since the capitalists can demand the abolition of serfdom under the guise of fighting for the rights of serfs, why can't we limit the development and growth of the bourgeoisie in the name of benefiting the working class?" Franz said with a sneer
See people talking, see ghosts talking.
Now Franz will make the faces of the feudal aristocrats, full of romance, and the expression can't wait to tear up the bourgeoisie.
"For the welfare of the working class? I'm afraid this is not possible. Many of our nobles also have workshops. To improve the treatment of workers will harm the interests of many people!" Grand Duke Louis said looking forward and backward.
Looking at the expression of Grand Duke Louis, Franz knew that history had rightly judged him—indecisive, but such a person had the possibility of success.
"What is a little benefit compared to the glory of the nobility? If there are no restrictions on the bourgeoisie, I'm afraid it won't be many years before they will shit on our heads!
Uncle Louis, don't you see that the power of the bourgeoisie is always growing? If things go on like this, one day we will be unable to hold them down! ' Franz whispered
These words are also useful now. The aristocracy has not transformed into the bourgeoisie, and even if someone invests in industry and commerce, they will not go into battle in person.
If they want to be on an equal footing with the capitalists, I'm sorry that the nobleman can't afford to lose that person. Ordinary nobles are still like this, not to mention big nobles like Grand Duke Louis.
