Chapter 1447: "Paris Road"

  Chapter 1447 "Road to Paris"

  Georgiana never thought that one day she might go to the International Tribunal of Shanghai Teeth. Of course, there was no international tribunal in the early 19th century.

  But using ships to create gas chambers and submerging ships in order to destroy evidence does not seem like justice anyway. Even if it is not known at home because of the blockade of public opinion, it will spread abroad, and the British newspaper Napoleon can’t control it.

  After the signing of the Amiens Agreement, many French people will go to England. When they come back, they will be as shocked as the English people who travelled during the Irish famine.

  His seemingly indestructible rule is crumbling, she does not want to accompany him to the International Court of Justice, and she is still in the position of defendant.

  It takes a lot of time and money to build an iron bridge. It needs to be repaired slowly in peacetime. This is what Napoleon lacks now.

  In contrast, the road is more urgent.

The civilians always blamed the Girondists for not controlling the price of food. Lange’s method was to set a constant price. Grains on the market above this price would be seized and auctioned. This is more in line with Napoleon’s heart because of the auction proceeds. Owned by the state, public opinion still supports him, and anyone who drives up food prices in the eyes of ordinary people is damned.

  But the basis for this price to continue is to ensure that there is enough grain in the market. Everyone knows that the scarcity is expensive and the price is set. However, there is not so much grain in the grain market, and the price will still rise. Lange said a very simple and simple truth, transporting grain from counties with cheap food prices to high-priced counties, such as 23 francs a quintal area sold for 58 francs a quintal, so even if you buy 38 francs a quintal Not only did the food transporters earn money, but the civilians in areas with high food prices also bought cheap food, so that everyone was able to do so.

  But this simple question involves two issues. One is the road conditions in France, and the other is that bandits and beggars block the way. The army can’t figure out a clear road, and the large convoy cannot complete this kind of inter-provincial transshipment.

  At the same time, when the price of grain starts to rise, the farmer will cover the grain and wait for it to rise. What else can he do if he receives the grain and does not sell it? He will not sell if the market price does not reach his "expected" price.

Rural people can eat potatoes and black bread by themselves, sell the wheat used for white bread at a high price to make money, and then store the coins in the ground for emergency use, such as paying military service tax and paying the money. You don't have to be a soldier to die.

  It is impossible to use paper money. They have already seen the scenes when the coupons collapsed. So Napoleon exempted them from taxation is a wrong move. He has to collect heavy taxes, forcing them to sell food and pay the tax.

Napoleon’s enlistment still stayed in the ancient Roman period, thinking that the source of troops for agriculture and farming was better than that in the cities. In the last census, the French population was 36 million. Excluding the duplication of registration and floating population, there are about 29 million. The population of 28 million people before the outbreak of the Great Revolution has increased.

  How many people died in France in 10 years? According to the number reported by the Ministry of War, there are about 1 million people, but this data may be false, and Napoleon himself changed the report.

  Assuming that half of these 1 million people are married, according to the 600 francs subsidy for a widow in Garnier, 30 million a year will cost 30 million. Not including their legitimate and illegitimate children, 38 million francs is less.

Suppose a woman whose husband died in the army, gave birth to six children, and all survived, then she can get an annual salary of 2,700 francs, and an ordinary low-level government employee can earn about 1,200 francs a year. She can still work in farming at home, or Do other jobs to supplement the family. With such a generous reward, would a woman eagerly marry a soldier?

When Georgeanna saw that Napoleon had ringworm, she suspected that he had some strange disease that would infect herself. The soldiers were fighting abroad and lived a life that they didn’t know they could not see the sun rise tomorrow. They all could rent a car for 3 francs. Paying 6 francs to the coachman, only asking the emperor to pass through the "teaching" thing for him, what do they care about?

  Napoleon kicked this “empty talk” political economist out of the Senate for no reason.

  War is only wonderful when it ends, and now Georgiana fully feels the humiliation of Narcissa Malfoy when she attended Lucius’ trial.

What Garnier said about subsidizing widows can be disregarded for the time being, and giving them bread rolls can be considered. Most women are relatively law-abiding, and they can receive bread with their documents and bread rolls, so that their children will not As for crying from hunger, so that they won't be the same as those women holding aprons and going to Versailles to find the king for cheap bread.

  There is a granary in the palace. This is common sense. When the capital is surrounded by the king and waiting for other lords to come and rescue him, the food in the palace can be eaten not only for himself, but also for the Swiss mercenaries. Women and children don’t eat as much food as a strong man, and Georgiana can try to persuade Napoleon to open the palace’s granary to supply these orphans and widows with bread, and those who chop him have work.

After comforting this group of people, those women who did not get the bread may be dissatisfied, but other people’s husbands are dead, and other husbands can still find them if they are still alive. These men need work, what Turgo said is public Engineering is the one that can create jobs most.

  The weather picked up, the ice began to melt, and the 4 francs day's work on the canal was gone, and the food ship should arrive immediately.

Boats can bring hope and despair to people. People have confidence when they see a ship full of warehouses. People have no confidence when they see a ship that is almost half empty. Panic consumption will accelerate the hoarding, and most people will not at all. To calculate how much food you eat in a year.

  3.3 quintals is just an average. Some weaker, literary men may not eat as much as a woman engaged in heavy manual labor or gluttony.

  When a person is full of confidence, he feels that he can do everything, but when he encounters a setback, he will doubt himself.

Interest and fear are the levers that drive people to act. Even if it is not for reselling one’s own food, they will hoard a little. At this time, the only solution is to keep emptying their warehouses. When everyone’s food becomes too much to pile up, his sense of fear will be lost. Will disappear, and then no longer buy food to hoard.

Ensure that the transportation line is unobstructed and that there is enough supply to make it possible to lower the price of food, or use the method used by the Song Dynasty people to have an official everywhere notify merchants who want to speculate. Paris allows high prices to sell food, and many food merchants Suddenly flooded into the city, so that the quantity of grains increased, and the prices fell.

According to Turgo’s estimates, the total shipping volume of grains in Europe is 5 million quintals, and France accounts for half, about 2.5 million quintals, and the total consumption is more than 50 million quintals, even if Godoy sold 2 million quintals. The grain is given to France, how can so much grain be transported to Paris?

  Before the Great Revolution, the main sources of food in France were Britain, the Baltic Sea, the United States, and South Russia. The main transfer stations for grain imports are the port cities of Dunkirk, Rouen, Nantes and Marseille. These ships are not all large ships, and small boats can also be loaded.

  These foreign grains from the sea travelled along the river to Orléans and via the Rhône to Lyon. During the Revolution, a vicious grain grab occurred on the side of the Orléans Canal. At that time, two ships full of grain were robbed.

  Canal transportation is relatively cheap, but due to seasonal factors, it cannot be used for three months in winter and summer. Therefore, building a railway from Lyon to Paris can solve the food problem.

  Paris, the first largest city, and Lyon, the second largest city, have frequent exchanges. It is also more convenient to transport steel to Lyon. It is also convenient to start building railways from Lyon to Paris, and then transport steel to Paris to build aqueducts.

  Or you can try to use dog sleds to transport on the icy river in winter.

She thought she was humorous to write at the end, crackled so much that she typed the report with a typewriter, pinned her name in the corner, and put it in the folder with the written letter, and called Matiel. Da, let her personally deliver this letter to the first ruling.

  Georgiana lacks a good impression of Americans in the 20th century, but the founding leader of the United States is indeed very good. She never dreamed of being bullied in the United States.

  This may be because it is still in its infancy and has not become a behemoth later.

  Voldemort killed Harry because he thought Harry was a threat, and she didn't want to become a "baby killer" like Voldemort.

  Or should I do that? (Orshouldi?)

  She recalled the mushroom cloud that rose up, and the dazzling light of the sun when the atomic bomb exploded.

  Human nature in war is fragile. Perhaps the sentence "There is no good war, and there is no bad peace" is the truth.
