MTL - The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven-v3 Chapter 53 be prepared
【War court and knee pillow, Austria's destiny】【】
The benefits of industrialization are obvious, it can make goods cheap and very reliable.
At least there will not be a situation where the first bottle of wine from the same workshop is very delicious, and the second bottle will make you spit out the overnight meal.
But it also leads to a problem, that is, the traditional winemaking workshops are constantly closing down, and the living space is constantly being squeezed. It's the same even if Franz has already left them a profit margin in terms of price and other aspects.
In addition, in order to leave a way for those taverns to survive, Franz adopted the wholesaler model. Except for some royal industries, he needed to purchase from wholesalers.
Although this business model is relatively backward in modern times, it was definitely one of the most reasonable models in the nineteenth century.
Franz hopes that those good ones can be preserved and the less good ones can be eliminated. The industrialization of beverages is irreversible. Because with the advent of the industrial age, the population increases, and people's demand for beverages is also increasing.
The past manual method is obviously not enough to meet people's growing needs, which requires reform or increased investment.
Naturally, it was impossible for Franz to devote all his precious resources to winemaking. With the expansion of the empire and the development of the times, too many places needed money and people.
Therefore, it is an inevitable choice to choose cheaper and more efficient industrial production. At the same time, the earlier the industrialization, the easier it is to take the initiative in the market.
February 11, 1843.
Franz's father is assassinated by a brew tavern owner.
As the carriage passed the tavern, the proprietor rushed from the side of the road and shot the carriage with a pistol, but the bullet failed to penetrate the steel wrapping.
The attacker was caught on the spot, and after a 72-hour interrogation, the prisoner died in prison. But it turned out that no useful news was obtained, only that the prisoner had a grudge because the new type of beer sold by the royal family affected his business.
In fact, Franz also allowed the beer hall to operate royal products, but the owner wanted to sell his own wine.
The decline in the turnover of the tavern caused him to feel depressed, and under the influence of alcohol, he decided to assassinate the royal family members.
Franz looked at the photo of the prisoner's body. There was not a single piece of flesh all over his body. It seemed that what he said should be the truth.
But it is a pity that Franz has no way to save him, because no one can fight against the torrent of the times. There can't be only one such person. It seems that it is very difficult to be a good person or a bad person.
However, in order to prevent similar incidents from happening, precautions should be taken early.
Franz believed that the best way was to completely ban guns, but this kind of law could not be accomplished under the social environment at that time, or there was too much resistance.
However, you can consider the registration system, that is, you need a gun license to buy and own firearms, and you need to pay taxes. At the same time, the inspection of guns in and out of the city has been strengthened, and the patrolling police force has been increased.
However, it is not easy for the Regent Council to pass these decrees, and the most urgent task is to start with itself.
Franz completely refitted the carriages used by his family, and all of them were modified according to his own carriages. Bulletproof glass + steel plates are a must.
This will undoubtedly increase the weight of the carriage. The Grand Duke cannot make a carriage with six horses, so he needs to replace it with four horses and two mules. Anyway, it is not a matter of a day or two for the Franz family to be mentally ill.

Then it is to strengthen the guard force. Before Grand Duke Franz Karl counted the two chief guards, there were only 22 guards. Franz decided to raise that number to 102, with Franz in charge of the extra 80.
For this reason, Franz felt that it was necessary to set up a security company, which depended on the relationship of the Grand Duke Karl's family. After all, their family had a very good relationship with the military.
Moreover, Grand Duke Karl himself often recruits some capable veterans and retired military officers to work in his manor or guard.
Vienna, Palace of the Abrecht (today the Albertina and its surrounding streets).
This is the Winter Palace of Grand Duke Karl's family, and the whole palace has a warm and cheerful atmosphere.
The Grand Duchess Carolina was riding a solid black horse in a white dress, rampaging on the lawn in the palace. The servants turned a blind eye, and a trembling old butler walked up to Franz's car.
"Hello, dear Grand Duke Franz. The master has been waiting for a long time."
"Okay, please lead the way." Franz replied politely.
A team of nearly 200 people marched into the manor, and it was only then that Carolina realized that the guest was Franz, and she hurried over on horseback.
This kind of behavior would naturally lead to a riot. Franz's guards raised their guns to block Franz, and the guards of the Grand Duke Karl also raised their guns to point at the royal guards who might threaten their lady.
This made the old housekeeper very anxious.
"Put down, put down the guns! Miss, get off your horse first! Grand Duke Franz is here, don't be too rude."
"Put down the guns!" Franz yelled.
"But..." Colonel Bordeaux wanted to refute, but Franz didn't want to give him this chance.
"Shut up! Put down the guns!"
The royal guards put away their guns, and the family guards of Grand Duke Karl naturally also put away their guns without pestering them.
Carolina also realized that there seemed to be something wrong with her behavior, so she quickly got off her horse. Grand Duke Karl doesn't like to socialize with people, and those who come here to visit their family are usually soldiers, and they don't care about Carolina's faux pas.
"Cousin Franz!" She rushed over and hugged Franz. Fortunately, the latter is in good physical condition and has been exercising for a long time, otherwise he would definitely be thrown down.
The butler at the side reminded ~www.novelbuddy.com~ it should be the nephew, Miss Carolina. "
Carolina turned her head and glared at the old housekeeper.
"I know, don't worry about it."
The old housekeeper was speechless for a while, but he still went ahead to lead the way.
The architectural styles of the entire palace are diverse, from Gothic to Baroque to Rococo, which is dazzling.
Carolina was also chattering around Franz, and Ajani deliberately kept a long distance to avoid accidental injury.
"Frantz, have you grown taller again?"
"Why don't you smile, are you pretending to be cool?"
"By the way, I can ride a horse and swim..."
Franz didn't know how to communicate with adolescent girls. After all, he couldn't be hugged and beaten like his sister.
"That's great, Aunt. I wonder what kind of books you usually like to read?"
Carolina was speechless for a moment, she could read and write without any problem. However, due to the free growth and the special environment in her home, she has almost no communication with her peers, and it is even more impossible for her to study.

"On War!" Carolina anxiously remembered a book her father had mentioned.
Franz smiled.
"Well, let me test you, what should be the speed of normal marching and forced marching?"
"...." Carolina's head was full of black lines, and she thought to herself, "Why are all the men around me like this, are they all war mad?"
Under Franz's test, Carolina could only choose to turn around and run away.
