Chapter 35 Seeds of the Future (Extra update for Fireworks Daofan and Shenzhou Buwu Tianxia Fengdao on his birthday)

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Franz was lying on Talia's lap, listening to her reading the newspaper.

The price of American land was gradually outrageous, which was within Franz's expectations.

But what Franz did not expect was that this land fever gradually developed from the east coast of the United States to the west.

This made Franz a little flustered, because in Franz's plan, the pig of the United States could be cut several times.

At this time, every piece of land sold by the US government was at a premium, and even so, the buyer would make a lot of money within a few days.

Fortunately, the war to expel the Indians in the United States prevented the real estate craze from spreading to the west.

Otherwise, Franz would have to consider whether to buy land in the west more than ten years in advance.

Britain had a super bumper wheat harvest, which led to Britain dumping wheat everywhere, causing the price of wheat to plummet by 40%.

Austria also had a good wheat harvest, and fortunately there were German Customs Union and Italy to dump, but Hungary was in a gloomy mood.

Hungarian wheat lost its market all of a sudden, which also led to a large number of landlords switching to other crops to make up for the deficit. This bad result will be apparent in a few years.

The imperial faction represented by Szechenyi prevailed. Historically, the kingdom faction in Hungary has always prevailed.

However, due to the sudden loss of power of Prince Ertházy and the successful joining of Austria into the German Customs Union, the power of the original kingdom faction suffered serious losses while strengthening the power of the imperial faction.

The imperial faction: that is, supporting Austria's rule over Hungary, hoping that Austria and Hungary will be completely integrated, believing that Hungary's departure from Austria is equivalent to self-destruction, and the best way to safeguard its own rights and interests is to let the empire see the value of Hungary.

Most of these people belong to the emerging nobles and capitalists in Hungary, as well as the great nobles who have lived in Austria for a long time and identify with Austrian culture.

The kingdom faction: that is, demanding autonomy, putting Hungarian interests first, hoping to rebuild the Kingdom of Hungary and draw a clear line with Austria.

These people believe that the Austrians are robbers who have taken away their property and kingdom. The power of the Hungarians must be in the hands of the Hungarians. The Hungarians should not work for Austria or the Habsburgs. Austria and the Habsburgs should repay the debts they owe to Hungary.

Some of these people are traditional land nobles who own a lot of land, and many of them live in Vienna and Paris.

They have their own territories in Hungary, and can control taxes, justice, and even organize armies. These nobles opposed Austria more just to gain more benefits.

The main supporters of the Kingdom Party are the so-called "single-clothed nobles", who are poor and have only one piece of clothing to wear except for their noble status.

These people are extremely poor and eager to change the status quo. They want to achieve class transition by violently seizing power.

Austrian explorer Costa will organize a team to explore the Amazon rainforest to find a mysterious kingdom hidden deep in the rainforest. Now he is looking for philanthropists to sponsor him. The distribution of benefits can be discussed in detail.

This news attracted the attention of Franz. Franz didn't care about the mysterious kingdom in the rainforest.

As far as Franz knew, there were only some indigenous tribes in it, and there was no treasure.

Franz wants the seeds of a plant that will change the world in the future.

"Talia, can you contact this explorer?"

"Legends are all lies. If you have too much money to spend, you can consider improving your food." Talia looked down at Franz and said.

"I don't want any treasure, I want the seeds of a plant."

"Plants? What kind of plants are there in the royal greenhouse? Can you eat what you said?" Talia asked.

"Ahem, no. But it is said that it is a plant that sheds tears. Don't you want to see it?" Franz tried to arouse Talia's interest.

"Will a plant that sheds tears affect people's mood? I know it's a sad plant as soon as I hear it, and it can't be eaten." Talia complained.

"Haven't you heard that you build your own happiness on the pain of others?" Franz said.

"Archduke Franz, you are wrong. You can't build your own happiness on the pain of others." Talia said.

"Now that I can't see the plant that sheds tears, I feel very painful. If I feel very painful, I want to build my happiness on the pain of others." Franz pinched Talia's thigh while speaking.

Talia begged for mercy in pain.

"Well, you convinced me. Now can you tell me what you want to do with those rubber seeds? If you like to play billiards, ivory is better, rubber is too soft."

Franz has bad memories of billiards. Because he is too short, he has to be held by others to play.

It feels bad to be used as a pillow and have no autonomy at all.

Chenla, Kompong Som.

Arriving in Kompong Som, Ambrosius felt that he had been deceived. There was no port here, it was obviously a fishing village.

The surrounding Chenla people looked at Ambrosius and his group with horror.

The ancestors of these locals were not fishermen, but honest farmers, but Vietnam and Siam invaded one after another, causing the fields to be barren and the people to live in misery.

The Cambodian government tried to resist the invasion of Vietnam and Siam with force, but it colluded with bandits and bullies and exploited the people even more severely.

In order to survive, their ancestors ran to this uninhabited beach to become fishermen.

Guan Jinpan still had some authority, and he immediately gave an order, scaring the local minor official to sit on the ground.

"This place will be under the command of An Qianhu in the future. Don't be nosy, or you'll lose your head."

It was the first time for the local official to see the second-rank Yuan, and when he heard that the fifth-rank Qianhu's surname was An, he naturally connected it with the national surname.

As for the royal relatives, why did they come to this remote place. The minor official thought about it and easily concluded that this Guoxingye looked so strange, he was probably driven out of Phnom Penh.

Now the minor official figured it out and shut up immediately. Anyway, there were not many people in his place, and this Qianhu An could do whatever he wanted.

Although Ambrose was dissatisfied, these Catholic priests were extremely happy. They didn't expect to have a foothold so easily. This was a big step for the church in Southeast Asia.

You know, the French, Spanish, and Dutch have been here before, but they didn't leave behind a stronghold, not even a church.

And once the Austrian Empire builds a port here, they can preach in Zhenla with peace of mind.

These Catholic priests have told their fellows about Kompong Som along the way, and believe that soon Catholics in Zhenla will come to Kompong Som to settle down.

The two officers brought by Ambrosius were also very happy. After all, this is also a small colony. They may be recorded in history as the first batch of colonists in the history of the Austrian Empire.

Only the diplomat Zaker was worried, because he knew that Austria had neither plans nor the strength to expand in Southeast Asia at this time.
