Empress Alexandra did not know, her stunned eyes were completely seen by Maria, and after a little guess she had already thought of the general content, she secretly made up her mind that it might not be without a turn for the better to discuss with Ernst tonight. Ernst did not know what Maria was thinking, and he persuaded Archduke Ferdinand to leave the mission to be completed, and quietly signaled to Prince Flender, and the two left the room and went to the golf course behind the building.

Looking at the green lawn, Ernst, who refused to accept the golf club brought by the servant, sat on the ground casually and asked Prince Flanders: "Does the matter of the international royal conference have any impact on the country?" ”

Is there any domestic impact? Ernst was naturally referring to the nobility of the Czech principality, after all, there were only so many seats, and some nobles were destined to be unrecognized. Ernst was not only targeting the old nobles, but also his descendants who were inevitably unable to gain recognition, and this was what Ernst feared.

"The internationalization of the aristocracy is a good thing, and although these things are regrettable, they should be understandable. A knighthood is just an honor, and I believe that some compensation in other ways will satisfy them. ”

Although it was not explicitly stated, the meaning of Prince Flender's words was to indicate that they were dissatisfied. Ernst had no choice in the face of such a situation, after all, this was the way out that could really make the monarchy stable. After all, the power of one person is too small, and only the honorary title cannot make those nobles stand on the same line with the royal family, only if the interests are one, they will not abandon the royal family, and can stabilize the position of the royal family.

Of course, the Soviet Union was what the aristocracy feared the most, but history proved that in the end the Soviet Union would not infringe on the Czech principality, and it was completely safe to treat this country. After all, their flaws are so obvious that the slightest touch can destroy him directly, which is the advantage of the traverser.

"Compensation? What kind of compensation will satisfy them? ”

"The ...... of the Hereditary System for Officers"

"No way!"

Most of the new nobles of the Czech principality were military officers, and it was they who Ernst said needed to be compensated, they were the true descendants of the royal family of the Czech principality. But it was precisely because of his direct status that Ernst did not want them to be disheartened with him, and he agreed to the proposal from the mouth of Prince Flender without the slightest hesitation. However, the hereditary system of officers is too outrageous, which is beyond his bottom line, and it is enough to make the Czech principality extinct a suggestion.

"Ernst, maybe you misunderstood me, the hereditary officer is not really hereditary, but every officer above the rank of major can apply to let one of his children go to the Royal Army College to study, as long as they can graduate, then you will be stingy with the rank of second lieutenant?"

Prince Flender thought that Ernst would agree to such an explanation, but who thought that he still shook his head, and Ernst's explanation made him understand Ernst and found that his proposal was indeed somewhat inappropriate.

"If it's just like this, then naturally there is no problem, but after a long time, the military will inevitably become a family, and they have the interests of the team, so that some ordinary outstanding soldiers will be difficult to get promoted, and you should know what the result is. In the future, the military will inevitably rot, and the Czech Army will no longer be the Czech Army. ”

There is an example in front of us, the army of the Song Dynasty in China. Western Army, Forbidden Army...... These officer groups all have their own interests, and for the sake of profit, they can even sell their land and die without help, and part of the reason for this is that the Song Dynasty perished in their hands, and the struggle of the party, government, and army is even more harmful than that of the cabinet.

A qualified army only needs one voice, only one person who needs to be loyal to one, and more...... Then no matter how elite the army is, it is not far from extinction.

"That compensation is ......"

"Economic compensation, the royal family set up a military fund, any retired soldier can apply for different funds to start a business according to different military ranks, and at the same time they can give different help to apply for civil servants and children's schooling, and it is my compensation to improve the status of soldiers, especially officers."

"This, but this ......"

These compensations are good, but they don't seem to have the intention and may not have a great effect. Prince Flender had a different opinion, but Ernst shook his head and did not speak, knowing very well that this was the best way to deal with it, at least it was much better than the hereditary system of officers.

It is very difficult for a country to maintain fairness and justice, and even the Czech principality can only do its best to give everyone a chance. If you really encounter something unfair, then you can only say that you are unlucky, and such a small chance can be encountered.

Ernst clearly did not want to continue the topic, and he began to care about what the nobles from the Russian Empire and the German Empire were doing during this time. Prince Flanders was the Speaker of the Upper House of the Czech Duchy, and he naturally knew the most about related matters, which was one of the reasons why Ernst let Prince Flanders to this position in the first place.

"The popularity of the film industry makes them very interested, but because of the increase in a lot of competitiveness, the current film market has begun to show some fatigue, and the management and stars have some malicious competition, and the price is a little inflated."

Ernst looked at Prince Flender very strangely, how did he still know some about movies, but after a little thought, Ernst probably guessed the reason, most likely he was also one of the malicious competition. Prince Flender was also a smart man, and when he looked at Ernst's eyes, he knew that the other party guessed that he was also involved, and he was not embarrassed but felt a little embarrassed.

"At the beginning of the year, I invested in a love series of movies, but the release time was not very good, and the box office was very dismal."

This is Prince Flender's explanation and Ernst couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard this, at the beginning of the year, it was the hottest time in the film market, when all film companies came up with their best movies to celebrate the New Year, and you just formed a film company also want a piece of the pie?

Especially romance movies, although the investment is slightly smaller than other series, its box office is also a typical type of easy entry and difficult refinement. It was easy to shoot and there were some guarantees at the box office, but it was not so easy to make money, although Ernst didn't ask specifically, but he knew that even if he lost money, he wouldn't lose much.

It is particularly important to have good romance movies, and now Prague has the most excellent screenwriters instead of good stars, because since last year, the novel market in the Czech Principality has been booming, and major newspapers have serialized it, which has also improved the quality of screenwriters.

Prince Flender looked surprised when Ernst teased his guess, and when he knew the answer, he could only smile wryly and nodded: "They also said that the script of this movie is good, but the level of shooting is a little poor, and the time for release is not right." ”

"It seems that the film industry also needs to be rectified, the film industry in the Czech Principality will be an important indicator of the economy in the next few years, if it falls into the hands of these aristocratic lords who are pouring in casually, it will be a real loss."

Remediation, how to remediate? In fact, the method is very simple, only need to add a review system, but this review is not to review the film but to have a restriction on excellent directors, actors, cameramen, and screenwriters, and some unqualified cameramen and directors need to meet the standards before they can shoot.

It is not only capital and competition that affect the film market, but the most important thing is that the arrival of a large number of bad films will affect Prague's reputation, and people are afraid that in the future, people will lose interest in Prague's film company as soon as they see it, such a thing cannot be ignored. In view of the current competition, Ernst can only try to guide the aristocracy to invest in existing movies instead of directly poaching people and engaging in malicious competition, and I believe that it is not difficult to do this with the influence of the Czech royal family.

It was already 1920, and the film had been popular for about two years, and Ernst believed that it was time to start the era of blockbusters, and the investment of tens of thousands of pounds should be increased to hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, so as to ensure Prague's position in the film industry to a certain extent.

Ernst can only find his own people to make a start, and Jessica is the implementer. In fact, at the beginning of this year, Jessica invested in a film that cost £230,000 to shoot. This is an action movie, mainly based on the Chinese national arts and medical halls, and then added some new Western elements.

This is an innovation, and no one knows what the specific box office will be, but it is certain that if this time encounters Waterloo, then the arrival of the blockbuster era is estimated to have to wait a few years, after all, not only do you not improve people's gambling psychology, but also completely dispel their gambling nature.

"In fact, it's better for them to harm the film industry than to meddle in politics at will."

These were Ernst's words of comfort, and the Prince of Flender on the side couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He remembered that Denmark could not return to his own country because of the support of the nobles, and he was tempted to say that he had no ambition in that regard, but to no avail.

Because no one would believe him, capable and qualified, he was a very dangerous competitor to the remaining princes, so they united so that they could not go back, maybe the Czech Duchy was their destination!
