In March 1901, the month Gorky completed "Melody of Spring", which included "Song of the Petrel". Of course, none of this had anything to do with Ernst and Moravia, and the peasants under Masséna's command began to grow grapes on the cleared land.

The Spring Festival had passed, but for Ernst, who was already a prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, his whole Spring Festival was nothing more than Madame Beoulay jerky making a plate of dumplings-like food under Ernst's command. It can only be said that it is similar, because the strange appearance is that even Madame Beyolai herself can't help but blush.

Cosimo served Ernst early in the morning and put on a suit, and he served by Ernst's side for a while, although his heart longed for military life, but thinking of Ernst's weight, he decided to temporarily abandon the military camp he longed for.

It was only five o'clock in the morning, but the Moravian nobility had already been waiting for a long time, and even if Ernst was already the president of the Moravian parliament, it was not too late to pass now.

It was also a month before he returned from London, and during this month there was good news from all over Europe, and many merchants and fallen nobles were willing to help in the Moravian wine business.

Having received orders from more than 10 large and small national agents in Europe, Ernst was determined to work with a big axe, and the entire Moravian region, except for the wheat planting area that was allocated at the beginning, was planned as vineyards.

Ernst's actions naturally surprised the Moravian nobles, and when they knew about it, they also wanted to participate, after all, Ernst had a bad reputation to bear, and the rest was just to make money. Similar good things are rare in a lifetime, the nobles are not fools, who will push this brilliant gold outward?

There was no end to the money, and Ernst needed their help, and Ernst had no reason to refuse, either in terms of Moravian stability or otherwise, and in this case Ernst had the first common interest with the Moravian nobility.

Eight thousand acres of vineyards, which are the basis of the future Moravian red wine. Due to the need to ensure quality, one acre can only guarantee 400 bottles (750ml) in the end.

According to the price agreed between Ernst and Count Johann von Clézio of Germany at the beginning, 200,000 cases of ordinary red wine and 5,000 barrels of fine red wine were 8.5 million pounds, and after deducting the expenditure on labor, cultivation and craftsmanship, Ernst could guarantee a profit of 2 million pounds.

Two million pounds a year, even if it is halved, is quite a terrifying figure, even enough to support an entire army division.

The two straight soldiers in front of the door saw that Ernst was very neat and saluted, nodded slightly in return, and Ernst got into the car under Cosimo's service, and Bert told Cosimo in front of the door to take two steps back and make way for the road.

The fundamental purpose of this trip to Moravia was to take the nobles to inspect the vineyards in various places, after all, it was about the life of the nobles in the future.

The white horses trotted obediently towards Moravia under the tutelage of the groom, and the wild scenery beside the road did not attract Ernst's attention, and he was full of ideas about how to persuade the nobles to merge the vineyards into the Moravian wine estates.

Ernst started a little late, but his market position was between merchants and ordinary citizens, very different from the top red wine estates such as Latour and Lafite, which were only available to the aristocracy.

People go to the prestige and aristocratic class, while Ernst goes to the middle and low class, although it is somewhat inconsistent with his status as a Habsburg royal family, but wealth is everything, and it is estimated that only Ernst can see it most clearly.

In the eyes of Europeans, Americans are still Western cowboys, "local" tycoons and other roles, but who would have thought that the United States would become the first power in the future, and now these aristocrats who look down on Americans will need to kneel and lick others in the future?

The wheat had already begun to grow, and the green stalks gave Ernst hope in 1901 that Moravia would only get better and better, because their owner was Ernst Franz.

There is one thing that Ernst has always been unsure about, whether Moravia can hold on to the future, whether the equipment of the military factory in the mysterious space should be taken out, and how should he explain it if someone asks him?

Of course, the main thing here is the first question, how to explain that Ernst is not too worried, a large number of guns have been taken out, what about an extra military factory? As the saying goes, lice don't bite people, is there really someone who forces themselves to say that they can't do it?

The Moravian Army Corps used their own guns, wore their own uniforms, ate and drank their salaries under their influence, and were more of Ernst's private army than the Austro-Hungarian reserves.

André was firmly in control of the army, and now that even Archduke Ferdinand was beginning to lose control of Moravia, indicating that Ernst's safety was unquestionable.

Forget it, let's wait a minute! The First World War will not start for thirteen years, and what do you decide to do in such a hurry? When I came back to my senses, the city of Moravia was already in sight.

"Where are we going, Lord Earl?"

Ernst also bought a temporary residence in Moravia, and Cosimo knew exactly whether to go to the residence first or go straight to the Moravian parliament to make peace with the nobles.

"Go to the council! I believe that they are waiting there early, and if we pass too late, it will inevitably cause some guys to be dissatisfied. ”

Cosimo didn't say much, and the groom headed directly towards the council under his guidance, and it was not far from the council just now, and in less than a minute, a luxurious carriage appeared in front of the council.

The servant had already gone to the council to report, and the nobles had already swarmed out by the time Ernst was about to get out of the car, and it was evident how seriously they were about inspecting the vineyards.

If you don't pay attention to it, you can't do it! In previous years, they had only made a few thousand pounds of money at most, and after deducting various expenses, the remaining more than a thousand pounds was already very good, and now Ernst gave them a chance to make money, who could ignore it?

Don't believe it, just think Ernst is talking empty words? Orders are there, prices are there, the market is just around the corner, why not believe it, why think that Ernst is talking empty words? Moreover, it was not Ernst who came to the door to ask them to participate, but they took the initiative to step forward.

"Your Royal Highness, can you renegotiate the issue of shares?"

"My lord, if I can, I would like to increase the area of some vineyards in my territory."

"Mr. Speaker, I think the price of red wine could go up a bit."

……

Noisy, chaotic, and full of nobles' voices, Ernst was a little irritated but couldn't keep his face straight, but he was glad to have someone who wanted to renegotiate the issue of shares, because what he lacked was such an opportunity.

"Don't be in a hurry to inspect the matter, just now Baron Karpache said to discuss the matter of shares, so let's solve this matter first!"

As soon as Ernst's words fell, the nobles couldn't help but be stunned, especially the owner of the stable, Baron Karpacz, who just wanted to ask for more shares for himself, but now Ernst meant ...... It's obvious that they want to reduce their shares!

Why do you think so? If this was not the case, why did Ernst agree so quickly, why was his face full of joy, because he felt that something was wrong, the nobles all looked at Baron Karpache viciously.

If it weren't for you, Ernst would have been able to find such an opportunity? At this time, not to mention the other nobles, even Baron Karpache himself regretted it.

Why should I be in such a hurry, this matter is different from that of Ernst in private?

Of course, he just thought about it like this, and if he was given another chance, he would probably do it again, after all, there are only 300 acres of land left before the 8,000 acres are settled, and whoever speaks first may be the one who speaks for the 300 acres.

Also speaking was Viscount Leoš Janáček, who also wanted to increase the size of the vineyards in his domain, but fortunately he said it a little later.

At this time, Viscount Leoš Yanáček hid in the crowd, and he patted his chest, and almost, almost the wrath of the crowd came upon him.
