Chapter 479 Speaking with Conscience

When Franz was alone in front of the vegetable garden, Talia came close to him.

"Why are you worried?"

"Well, being a tinker is not that easy."

"Strange, didn't you say you wanted to break those jars and pots?" Talia asked curiously.

Franz glanced at the former and thought.

"That was all a few years ago, but the development of this world is a little unpredictable, and some of the original ideas can't be implemented at all."

However, Franz would not admit his failure, and he came up with another set of excuses.

"Some things can't be thrown directly, you have to glue them first, otherwise the fragments 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 is the Royal College for Women? I've been very busy recently and haven't had time to go there."

"Everything is good, but it's still the same as before. You don't have to have too high expectations, because most of them are just ordinary people in your eyes, and they are the kind that are extremely vulgar.

There is a girl named Perrine Shaffer who seems to be very powerful. If she wasn't in this abnormal college, she would definitely be sent to a mental hospital as a freak."

The mental hospital in the 19th century was not a good place, especially the mental hospital that specialized in treating women. What the doctors and nurses did was more inhumane destruction than treatment.

Those so-called treatments included putting people in wooden barrels, heating them until "the patient suffocated", and then putting the patients in ice buckets in the basement until "the patient was convulsing all over", locking people in a small room without sunlight for 24 hours, hanging them upside down for three hours... There are countless other treatment methods.

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

Sending the patient to a mental hospital for treatment is actually just to shirk responsibility and get rid of the family.

Some nobles can't afford their daughters' dowries and don't want to humiliate their family, so they will send their daughters to monasteries with conscience, while some will sell their daughters to mental hospitals.

Those so-called mental hospitals are actually places for some upper-class nobles to have fun, because they can use them as "special treatment methods" to do whatever they want to the so-called patients.

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

When Ajani needs extreme "manpower" sometimes, she will go to the mental hospital to look for it, because the people there, whether crazy or not, are desperately trying to escape from the devil's cave, and they are naturally full of courage when they act.

Franz doesn't like this kind of mental hospital that sells dog meat in sheep's clothing, so he knocks down a few of these devil's caves, but the thoughts in people's minds cannot be killed.

Unless people's ideas change, treating people like garbage will always exist.

"Perrine Schaffer? The daughter of the Schaffer family shouldn't be so rebellious."

"No, her father sent her here hoping that she would be blown up one day. Because Miss Perrine said that the Bible is a lie, and she said that she would be a businessman in the future, but she is really talented."

Talia seems to admire Miss Perrine very much, and Franz does need an atheist. After all, religion must be kept within limits, otherwise it will become too big sooner or later.

"All subjects are A, which is nothing special. If it were me, I could do it easily. But as an excellent student, Miss Perrine hopes to learn something that ordinary schools cannot teach.

So I found Mr. Sina and his friends, who are also willing to discuss business with a lady.

But what really makes people look at it is that Miss Perrine successfully used the 100 florins I funded her to earn 10,000 florins from her classmates and teachers.

I will never learn this skill in my next life."

Talia is still very self-aware of her ability to make money. She has to borrow money from Franz from time to time. The latter has so many IOUs in his hands that he can't count them.

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

Although Talia praised Miss Perrine, Franz still doubted her ability to judge people.

Until Talia took out a set of photos, Franz said seriously.

"Then you can tell her that I am willing to give her 100,000 florins to support her. If she can make ten times the profit within six years, I am willing to hire her as my consultant."

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

"Then just return the principal and interest." Franz answered seriously.

"Then should I talk to her about the interest?"

Talia said with a smirk. She really hopes that the two students she values ​​most can come together and create some sparks. Although it will definitely end in failure, the meteor is only the most beautiful when it falls, isn't it?

"Let's not talk about failure first. I hope she can succeed. After all, it's not easy to find a few talents in such a big Austria."

Franz sighed.

"Is it because there are not many people you want to give opportunities to?"

Franz did not deny it. He nodded and said.

"Most people's actions are not as sure as mine."

"But you will tire yourself out sooner or later. Have you ever seen an emperor or a big businessman who does everything himself?"

Franz also understood what Talia said.

However, the lack of a supervision system, coupled with the overall moral decline of society, made Franz unable to use many people with confidence.

Many people were corrupted the moment they came into contact with power, and immediately became contrary to his ideals and ambitions, and even turned their swords against his companions.

And even those who are determined will either be excluded to death or go along with the corrupt in the big dye vat of the Austrian officialdom at this time. Even with a backer like Franz, it is not easy to keep your heart.

Because corruption has corrupted the country from top to bottom, from inside to outside, when everyone is greedy and everything is greedy, the normal person will appear abnormal.

So Franz admired Baron Brook more and more. Even if he sat in the position of the governor of the central bank, he did not use his power to benefit his own family. His own carriage, guards, and even houses were all issued by the imperial government.

But where can you find such a person again?

"Talia, to be honest, I think the reward and punishment mechanism I have established is very reasonable, but why do some people always like to find new ways or take the old way?"

Franz's eyes flashed with sadness and fatigue. Talia sympathized with the prince. The burden on his shoulders seemed too heavy, but no one could share it for him.

"Reform takes time. Both you and this country need time. Corruption is not formed in one day, and you naturally cannot eliminate it in one day."

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

"Touch your own conscience!"
