Verona is still a beautiful city, but it is only thanks to Shakespeare and his opera Romeo and Juliet.

Legend has it that Shakespeare was inspired to write the story of a young man and a woman from two feuding families who died for love in a café.

Franz went out of his way to the balcony to have a look, but it was a bit disappointing.

For the first time, he felt that the conservation organization was so important, and that Juliet's house was actually an inn.

The potholes and muddy pavement showed two third-rate prostitutes standing at the door, and a disgusting stench came from the house.

The walls were filled with foul language, and the sounds of prostitutes and clients haggling could be heard from inside.

Seeing this, Adjani whispered in Franz's ear: "Do you want to go in and experience it, become a member, and unlock more."

"Excuse me." Franz directly interrupted her later words, and then ordered the coachman to go back.

Franz: "Someone buy the hotel." ”

"Is that all of it?"

Over the years, Adjani has long been accustomed to Franz's language habits, and in turn joked.

Franz said helplessly: "As long as the hotel, no people." ”

Adjani said with a little disappointment, "Oh, I thought you had found some amazing characters living in it again." ”

Franz: "I'm going to set up a heritage conservation organization, and you can find a way to recruit some people." ”

Adjani: "When the French enacted the world's first conservation law in 1840, didn't you say that they were wasting money and energy doing useless work? ”

Franz: "Well, I'll admit I underestimated Louis Philippe, I thought he was a fool of a great achievement.

It's just that when I see those cultural monuments being so ruined, I can't help but feel the urge to hit people, maybe I'm becoming more and more like an Austrian. ”

Adjani asked rhetorically, "You are not Austrian, can you be someone else?" ”

Franz had no interest in continuing the subject, but casually responded with the phrase "Whoever it is, maybe it's French." ”

Adjani smiled awkwardly, "You're so humorous. Then she over-interpreted the sentence.

One of the good things about Austria is that there is no shortage of artistic talent. Conservation organizations were easily established, and there was a corresponding set of conservation laws.

It's just that Franz's behavior is regarded as "throwing coins" by aristocratic circles like engaging in scientific research, and in their eyes, what bullshit cultural relics protection is completely a group of "giant babies" who are unwilling to give up the toys in their hands and do not want to embrace the retarded behavior of the new era.

In fact, the protection of cultural relics is not completely worthless, not to mention the vanity, just to say that the tourism value is enough to maintain the normal operation of these cultural relics protection organizations.

In fact, its spiritual value far outweighs its material value, and Franz once stood on Heroes' Square to admire the bronze statue of Prince Eugen, and it is difficult to say how much the appearance of the prancing horse and whip influenced him.

The future of the Austrian Empire will be a supra-national state, and the inheritance of culture will be particularly important, so Franz does not feel that he has made a loss-making deal.

(It's still pointed out here, because not many people read it when it feels like writing foreshadowing.) ）

Of course, Franz was not the only one who caused controversy in Vienna, in fact his reckoning with assassins and conspirators in Lombardy caused panic among aristocratic circles.

After all, the nobles of the upper class have long been accustomed to "the law does not hold the people accountable", "the family is not harmed", and "the Habsburgs are benevolent", but Franz's approach is really too "cruel" and "extreme".

In fact, this is all a legacy accumulated over hundreds of years, because there is no figure like Qin Shi Huang in Europe, so the power of the local and aristocracy is too heavy, and the imperial power is too weak.

However, because the French Revolution swept away the aristocracy and local power, it strengthened the power of the emperor and the center.

At this time, the Austrian Empire was dominated by the emerging bureaucratic aristocracy that overwhelmed the traditional aristocracy, and the power of the former came from the emperor, so it was naturally impossible for the future emperor Franz to add to it.

As a result, the attitude towards this matter in the entire aristocratic circle was polarized, and the traditional aristocracy felt that Franz was extreme and cruel.

The new bureaucratic aristocracy felt that the exile was also merciful, and at the same time it was a sin to conceal and try to cover up, and Franz's actions were reasonable and legitimate.

In fact, the confrontation between foreign and local officials in northern Italy was also due to this reason, and the traditional aristocracy was suppressed and could only serve as low-level officials.

However, the foreign high-ranking officials did not have a "foundation", so the two sides began to fight endlessly for the power in their hands.

Of course, Franz was not prepared to give people too many reasons to discredit himself, he had already obtained the "incriminating evidence" of those traitors, as well as the "confessions".

The evidence was overwhelming, and at the same time, the exile was changed to "compensation for work", and Franz directly turned political and moral issues into legal and economic issues.

After all, the question of rules is much easier to explain than the question of principle, so those who criticized Franz for cruelty and extremism have now changed their words to say that the grand duke's impartiality is a national model.

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Kagura kicks a high-kick that shifts the line and is fast and tricky at angles, but due to his light weight, his power is limited.

Franz grabbed her trouser leg and pulled her back as he pulled it, and the latter swung straight into the air with a straight horse.

"There are too many bells and whistles, and if you want to sneak attack, you have to pay attention to speed and strength, your body is already weak, and there is not much strength left at all when you change lanes and pause."

"Yes."

If Franz's opponent was replaced by a man just now, he was basically unconscious now. If women don't have long-term exercise and physical flexibility, I'm afraid they will lose their mobility, and Kagura's body has both of the above.

"That's all for today's physical training, let's check if I'm injured first, then run 10,000 meters and then go to shooting training. At least 20 meters of the bomb must be missed"

"Yes."

Kagura's expression didn't change much, but she still admired Franz very much in her heart, but the latter asked the former not to show her joy and anger, let alone let others know what you were thinking, so she could only make a smile instead of a smile.

After Kagura left the room, Adjani came over.

"That little girl is so boring, she has been bullied like this all day and has nowhere to vent, I'm afraid she will get sick sooner or later."

"It's normal for a girl from Izumo Province to be a little sick, and the task given to her after that doesn't have strong mental power and enough strength is no different from sending her to death."

Adjani spread her hands, "Okay, but I still think the kind of 'dance' she practiced is completely useless. ”

Franz reminded: "Karate. ”

"I'm afraid she doesn't have much power in kicking, right?"

Adjani said as she made a turn and kick, her physical fitness was a cut higher than Kagura's, after all, her height and weight were there.

But it was all the same for Franz, who first flashed sideways, and then grabbed the former's thigh with both arms and pulled.
