Chapter 79: The Twin Dragons

Outskirts of Vienna, Karen Manor.

The Vienna Royal College for Women has been basically completed, and enrollment is going smoothly, but it is really hard to find teachers.

It seems that there is only this weirdo around me who has received university education in the whole of Vienna, and those high-ranking professors seem to have no interest in this new university at all.

"We can only sign an employment contract with them and ask them to come to class when the school starts. If they refuse, they will have to pay a huge penalty. As far as I know, those professors are all poor."

The academic environment in Austria was not good at this time, and most of the research had to be funded by themselves, so the Vienna University of Technology would exclude non-noble professors so much.

"Talia, you are too much. Those professors are important pillars of this country no matter what."

"This statement is really rare. I hear more about termites, waste, and so on."

In this era, there was no such thing as respecting teachers in Austria. The authority of teachers was very poor. The whole society respected power and wealth more, and the respect for knowledge was very limited. This is why Austrian scientists are always tied to the four words of poverty.

Don't take Prussia as an example. In the entire German region, only Prussia has a high status for teachers.

As for female tutors like Talia, they are usually at the bottom of the contempt chain. Even the royal tutors are not welcome. This is one of the reasons why it is so difficult for colleges to recruit teachers.

At this time in Europe, women working symbolizes depravity, and learning is even more witch behavior.

Yes, Talia is a degenerate witch in the eyes of people of this era.

"Okay, Talia. I have always been curious about one thing. What major did you study in college?" Franz said.

"Law, after all, I want to be an official." Talia answered without thinking.

Franz was full of black lines.

"So, in this case, you have always been breaking the law knowingly?"

Talia blushed and said in a very proud tone.

"I'm smart!"

"I'm not praising you!" Franz said angrily.

Doppler was still looking at this huge physics laboratory excitedly, like a child who found a new toy.

"Mr. Doppler, are you satisfied with this laboratory?" Franz asked.

Franz didn't know much about the development of physics, nor did he know what equipment was needed to study physics, so he ordered people to build an identical one according to the specifications of the physics laboratory of the University of Berlin.

"Archduke Franz, this physics laboratory is a masterpiece. I will take good care of it, just like taking care of my own home."

It seems that this great physicist and mathematician regarded himself as a doorman.

"There is also a physics library next door, which contains all the German physics journals published in recent years. Of course, someone will send you the latest physics journals every month. If you need new instruments and equipment, feel free to write to me."

Doppler was a little confused.

"Archduke Franz, am I not here to be a teacher?"

"Yes, but the school is not open yet and there are no students. You should do some research first." Franz replied.

"Archduke Franz, what do you need me to do?"

"." This question really stumped Franz. He really knew very little about the physics of this era, but he thought that since Doppler was studying ultrasound, it should not be a problem to make a sonar.

Then after some communication, Franz found a very serious problem. Doppler did not know what electromagnetic waves were.

"You can study whatever you like." Franz gave up. The cognitive gap between the two was a bit large, and because Franz had not systematically studied the physics of this era, the two sides just kept communicating irrelevantly.

Doppler was also confused, but he thanked Franz from the bottom of his heart for giving him this easy job.

Franz asked the housekeeper in the manor to arrange accommodation for Doppler, and repeatedly told the housekeeper to respect Mr. Doppler.

Franz went to another temporary greenhouse built in another manor, where the hybridization of high-yield wheat did not seem to be successful.

The wheat that Costa brought back did yield quite a lot, but it was not adaptable enough, and had very high requirements for temperature and humidity, and Franz could not grow wheat in Brazil or Southeast Asia.

To promote it in Austria, it was necessary to plant varieties suitable for the Austrian climate, so Franz tried to cross this wheat with Austrian wheat.

Since the professors at the University of Vienna were not good enough, Franz found a group of gardeners from all over the country and asked them to try. What if they succeeded? Even if they failed, these people could still be gardeners, and Franz would not lose anything.

In order to make this trip look more like a trip, Franz broke two corns and inserted a wheat ear on Talia's head.

When Franz left, a shabby teenager and his father came in.

When the father saw Franz, he immediately pulled the teenager aside, took off his hat and lowered his head to show respect.

Franz did not pay much attention to the thin teenager in front of him. The teenager just looked at the child who seemed to have everything with envy.

After Franz left, the father approached the butler cautiously and said, "Hello, sir. I am Mendel, the gardener of Heinzedorf. I also want to serve the royal family. Can I try?"

The butler was very arrogant and pointed to a corner.

"The six wheat seedlings over there belong to you. No matter what method you use, as long as you succeed, you can get a reward of 5,000 florins from the Grand Duke. If you fail, you will only get the money to go home. Do you understand?"

"Thank you, sir, I will do my best." Old Mendel was interrupted by the butler before he finished speaking.

"What's your name?"

"Lesler Mendel." Old Mendel replied.

The butler took out a sign, wrote Mendel on it, and hung it in front of the wheat seedlings that old Mendel was assigned.

After the butler left, Mendel and his son sat down in front of the wheat seedlings.

"Kregel, this is a good opportunity for our family. Once we succeed this time, we will have money for your mother's medical treatment, you can go back to school, and you can also raise a good dowry for your sister."

"Yes, father." The thin boy replied. He was a genetics expert across the ages. His theory was recognized long after his death, so that later generations could only regret that he was born at the wrong time.

In fact, the housekeeper in the manor lied. Franz's reward was 20,000 florins, and if he failed, he could consider staying as a gardener.

However, the housekeeper, based on his experience, would never have a royal grand duke personally inquired about the affairs of these gardeners.

And the opportunity to work as a gardener in the royal manor can also be sold at a good price in the market.
