Schönbrunn Palace, small classroom.

Talia nodded subconsciously and said.

"I can't help it."

Franz's face darkened, and it wasn't a problem to do Talia a small favor and deal with the man who harassed her.

But it is very problematic for Talia to hide from Franz, borrow Franz's hand, and do things for herself.

This is intolerable as a superior person, and Franz must let Talia know that she is wrong.

Talia is not a stupid woman, she immediately realizes that she was wrong, she deceived a sensitive superior, and she regrets that she was clever because she betrayed Franz's trust in her, and the lost trust is not so easy to regain.

Coquettishness is a woman's natural weapon, and Talia didn't expect to be coquettish to a small child.

"I don't want to be pursued by that kind of man with a full beard at all, I'm only 22 years old, I don't want to get married, I still want to take care of you."

In fact, 22-year-old Talia, in this era when she gave birth to a baby at the age of 16, is definitely the old girl among old girls.

"Humph! Lie to me! Franz also pretended to be very angry, and he couldn't coax it.

.....

Talia pestered Franz for a while, and when she saw that she was almost done, she changed the subject.

"Mr. Costa, a new deal was made, he didn't find the legendary Golden City, but he found a wheat he hadn't seen before, and he brought back a batch of seeds."

"Wheat seeds? Isn't the Amazon a rainforest? Franz asked, a little confused.

"Yes, Mr. Costa was looking for the ruins of the Golden City when he stumbled upon a village that had been abandoned for years. This crop is planted in the open space of the village. Talia explained.

"Talia, you've seen that kind of wheat already. Is it?

"Yes, it looks taller and bigger than common wheat. My family used to grow a lot of wheat, and even the fullest wheat was not as good as the sample that Mr. Costa brought back, and maybe it could really increase the yield of wheat. But he wanted to get 100,000 florins as his payment. ”

One hundred thousand florins, for the current Franz, is not an unbearable number. However, for Costa's expedition, Franz had previously paid 50,000 florins, plus the final payment was exactly 100,000 florins.

And now no one can be sure whether the seeds brought by Costa are real or not, maybe just a single individual.

Perhaps Franz could have crossed it with local wheat by hand pollinating it to create a new variety.

Franz knew the theory, but he didn't put it into practice.

When it comes to these wheat seeds, which may increase production, the risks involved are too great to be worth Franz's 100,000 florins.

And according to the contract, whatever Costa found out he had brought back, half of it should be given to the patron.

In other words, if Franz wanted to buy all the seeds, he should pay Costa another 50,000 florins.

"Talia, didn't you say that we should take half of his gains?"

Costa said that it was his freedom to set as much price as he wanted. Unless I was willing to spend the night with him, he sold me the seeds of the wheat for fifty thousand florins. ”

Talia gritted her teeth in hatred, and it seemed that she was really upset.

Franz had wanted to tease her, but now it seemed that she should not be bored.

"Talia, do you think that with just a few words from him, someone will be willing to pay 100,000 florins to buy the wheat seeds in his hands?"

Talia wasn't surprised, but replied slowly.

"If it is an ordinary aristocrat, even a large landowner, he will not accept this price, because the gains outweigh the losses."

Indeed, even if the seeds were as he suggested, it would take a year just to get enough seeds for sowing. And with the current grain price in Austria, even if there is 10,000 acres of land, it will take nearly ten years to recover the cost. And the matter of high-quality varieties is unlikely to be hidden for ten years. It's really more than worth the loss. Franz said.

Seeing Franz say this, Talia knew that Franz had made up her mind, because she knew that Franz was not a minor nobleman, he was thinking about the whole country.

"Then let's continue to grow rubber, I heard that the seeds of rubber trees are difficult to survive, and you know it, that's why we bought so much." Talia deliberately digressed the subject.

"Rubber has to be planted, and this wheat has to be tried." Franz hurriedly said, "Talia, how much do you think we can use to get these seeds?" ”

"I don't think it's the right thing to do."

It's clear that Talia wants to make a deal for nothing.

"Talia, how the hell did that man pursue you and make you hate him so much?"

Talia didn't answer, just a cruel smile.

It seems that women are creatures who are particularly cruel to men they don't like.

"Okay, just try not to kill anyone." Franz said.

Talia patted her chest, saying that it was all up to her, but she needed someone to help.

Franz asked, "Who is that man?" ”

"Colonel Hussel."

Colonel Hüssel was Madame Sophie's chamberlain, he was from Bavaria, and he always did whatever it took to complete Madame Sophie's orders, so he was deeply trusted by Madame Sophie.

Moreover, this Colonel Schüssel was also closely associated with a Bavarian gang in Vienna.

It's a small gang, but no gang dares to challenge it.

A large part of the reason comes from the legend that the real mastermind behind this gang is Madame Sophie, and Hussel is the herald.

Franz, as the eldest son of Madame Sophie, went to ask Colonel Xu Serge for help, and he naturally had no reason to refuse.

It's just that Hussell is a very shrewd person and is not easy to deceive, if Franz does something strange, I'm afraid Husserl will report to Mrs. Sophie as soon as possible.

But because of this, Hüssel will not tell the secret, but only Madame Sophie.

Vienna, Turn Strasse, Grizzly Bear Hotel.

This is the edge of Vienna, the legendary ghetto.

Costa did not find the legendary Golden City, and lost half of his men during the expedition.

The dangers are self-evident, not only in the face of bad weather, but also in the face of countless poisonous insects and beasts and terrible diseases.

Costa understands that his good fortune cannot last forever, he is tired of this life, and he wants to go ashore.

Although Costa was paid three times as much as the expedition leader, the proceeds from the expedition were not enough to pay for the rest of his life.

But now he has an opportunity in front of him, next to the rich young lady in front of him, then he will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Although he and this young lady have only a few faces, he knows that a family that needs women to show up often has no male heir, and he may be able to inherit a noble title in the future.

Of course, Costa could see that the young lady was not interested in him, but luckily, he was given a miracle drug in the primitive tribe of the Amazon rainforest, which would cause people to hallucinate strongly....
