When Franz was alone in front of the vegetable patch, Talia came closer.

"What's on your mind?"

"Well, it's not that easy to be a tinker."

"Strange didn't you say you were going to break those jars?" Talia asked, curious.

Franz glanced at the former and said in his heart.

"It was all a few years ago, but the development of the world is a bit unpredictable, and some of the original ideas are impossible to implement."

But Franz wouldn't admit defeat, and he came up with a different set of arguments.

"There are some things that you can't just drop, you have to glue them together first, otherwise those pieces may hurt yourself."

Talia also looked at Franz, who naturally understood what the former meant, but he didn't want to continue the topic.

"How's the Royal Women's College? I've been busy lately and didn't have time to check it out. ”

"Everything is fine, but it's still the same as before, you don't need to expect too much, because most of them are just ordinary people in your eyes, and they are the kind of vulgar ones.

There is a Peleni Shavre who looks very powerful, and if it weren't for this abnormal academy, she would definitely be sent to an insane asylum as a freak. ”

Nineteenth-century madhouses were not good places, especially those for women, and the doctors and nurses were more inhumane than curative.

Those so-called treatments consisted of putting the person in a wooden barrel, then heating it until "the patient was suffocating", then placing the patient in an ice bucket in the basement until "the patient was convulsed", and the person was claustrophobic in a hut where there was no light of day for twenty-four hours and hung upside down for three hours. The list goes on and on.

Of course, the most frightening thing is the surgical treatment, where doctors will randomly cut off some parts of the patient's body.

He said that he was sent to an insane asylum for treatment, but in fact he was just trying to shirk his responsibilities and get rid of his family.

Some aristocrats, unable to afford their daughters' dowries and unwilling to humiliate the lintel, sent their daughters to convents with a conscience, while others sold their daughters into lunatic asylums.

The so-called insane asylums were in fact places for the pleasure of some high-class aristocrats, because they could be used as a "special treatment" to do whatever they wanted to the so-called patients.

This is not only legal, but even "reasonable".

Adjani sometimes needs extreme "manpower", so she will go to the madhouse to look for it, because the people there, whether they are crazy or not, desperately want to escape from the devil's cave, and they are naturally full of courage to act.

Franz didn't like this kind of madhouse selling dog meat in sheep's clothing, so he knocked out a few of these demon caves, but the thoughts in people's heads could not be killed.

Unless people's mindset changes, the thing about disposing of people like garbage will always exist.

"Peleni Shaffer? The daughter of the Shavre family shouldn't be too deviant. ”

"No, her father sent her in the hope that she would be killed one day. Because Miss Peleni said that the Bible was a liar, and that she would be a businessman in the future, but she was really talented. ”

Talia seemed to admire Miss Pellaini, and Franz really needed an atheist, after all, religion had to be done in moderation, or it would end up sooner or later.

"It's not a big deal to get A's in all subjects, and I can easily do it if I do it, but Miss Pellani, who is an honor student, wants to learn something that you can't learn in ordinary school.

So I brought in Mr. Sina and his friends, and they were also willing to discuss business with a lady.

But what was really impressive was that Miss Peleni managed to use me to fund her with a hundred florins, earning ten thousand florins from her classmates and teachers.

I won't be able to learn this kind of skill in my next life."

Talia was still very self-aware of her earning power, and she had to borrow money from Franz from time to time, and the latter had more IOUs than she could count.

If it is used as a threat, the posture currently known to humans should not be enough.

Although Talia was full of praise for Miss Pellani, Franz was still skeptical of her vision.

It wasn't until Talia pulled out a set of photos that Franz said it seriously.

"Then you can tell her that I am willing to pay 100,000 florins to fund her, and if she can earn ten times the profit within six years, I am willing to hire her as my consultant."

"What if she can't?" Talia said maliciously.

"Then just return the principal and interest." Franz replied solemnly.

"Then should I talk to her about interest?"

Talia said with a wicked smile on her face, she really hoped that the two students she valued the most could come together and spark a little, although in the end it must have ended without a problem, but meteors are only the most beautiful when they fall, aren't they?

"Don't talk about failure first, I hope she can succeed, after all, it's not easy for a huge Austria to find a few talents."

Franz sighed.

"It's because you don't have many people who want to give a chance, right?"

Franz didn't deny it, he nodded and said.

"The vast majority of people are not as sure as I am."

"But you will exhaust yourself to death sooner or later, which emperor have you ever seen, or a great businessman who must bow down to him?"

What Talia said, why didn't Franz understand?

But the lack of a monitoring system, coupled with the moral decay of society as a whole, made it difficult for many Franz to use it with confidence.

There are many people who are corrupted the moment they first come into contact with power, and immediately become contrary to their ideals and aspirations, and even against their companions.

And even if they are strong-willed, in the big dye vat of Austrian officialdom at this time, they will either be squeezed to death or join the stream, even if there is a backer like Franz, it is not easy to keep their hearts.

Because corruption has corroded the country from top to bottom, from the inside out, when no one is not greedy, when nothing is not greedy, that normal person will seem abnormal.

Therefore, Franz admired Baron Brooke more and more, even if he sat in the position of governor of the central bank, he did not use his power to benefit his own family, and his car, guards, and even houses were issued by the imperial government.

But if you want to meet this kind of person again, where can you find it?

"In good conscience, Talia, I think the reward and punishment system I have set up is reasonable, but why do people always like to go the other way, or go the same old way?"

A flash of sadness and exhaustion flashed in Franz's eyes, and Talia sympathized with the prince, who seemed to have too much of a burden on his shoulders, but no one could share it.

"Reform takes time, you and this country need time, corruption is not formed in a day, and you naturally cannot get rid of it in a day."

Talia slapped Franz's hand, lowered her head and frowned.

"Touch your own conscience!"
