Chapter 1338 marry me (3)

There is a room on the right wing of the Tuileries Palace dedicated to the throne. After all, this was once the king's residence.

Now that room is locked like a taboo. In addition, there is the first living room and the second living room, which are as redundant as Dudley's spare bedroom.

She chose one of them and planned to occupy it in the future, provided she really had the ability.

There will be no desk in the living room. The coffee table is a little short but it can be used. Paper and pens are also ready.

Sophie had already prepared black tea for her, and another girl, Matilda, went to ask the palace steward where her bedroom should be.

She would not stay in the First Consul's room when he was away, nor in Josephine's bedroom, so where to live became another question.

She didn't mind sleeping in a study at all. The problem was that the Tuileries Palace did not have one, but there was one in the exhibition room, which, like the trophy room, displayed the glory of the past.

"Tell me what you know?" Carno asked elegantly while sitting on the sofa.

She recounted what Leoncourt had seen during her inspection, and also mentioned ways to solve the shortage of rural labor. Monogamy was not included in the constitution.

Without labor, large farms will collapse and be cannibalized by small landowners who are crazy about land. It is obvious that too many small landowners are actually detrimental to agricultural development.

The farming loan was just an emergency measure like the loan she gave to the bakery. Whether the guild would be banned in the end was not up to her.

The Civil Code will not be easily changed, but there can be supplementary laws such as the Military Service Law. She wants to legislate to prevent cunning small landowners in rural areas from cheating and cheating.

Farmers are not fools. Those "nymphos who love knitting" would tell fairy tales to children. Telling stories with the family during dinner was a common pastime for the French in the 18th century. As Hortense said, she

I like ghost stories and tell them to everyone at family gatherings.

Compared with the bustling opera houses and nightlife in cities, rural areas are in a state of near stagnation, and "eating" is what rural people care about most.

In the story "Little Thumb", a poor couple struggled with hunger and planned to abandon their children. The two children found a hut in the forest full of food, and an old woman treated them to delicious food.

He seems to be a good person.

In fact, she was a cannibalistic female monster who wanted to make the brother and sister fat and eat them. The brother and sister used a trick to kill the cannibalistic female monster, collected her pearls and gems, and returned home as a family.

People lived a happy life again.

The way to victory in the imagination of French farmers is not violence, but clever trickery, and finally the weak defeat the strong. The little guy outsmarts the big guy, and the oppressed poor suddenly get rid of their shackles and live a happy life.

If you kindly lend money to them to buy seeds or rent heavy horses, they will try their best to use tricks to deceive the lender. If you are really a kind person, you should lend the money directly to him. What interest will you charge?

Another phenomenon is that the countryside does not reject the church as much as the city. Some villages already have communist ideas. This kind of propaganda has been spread to the countryside. Everyone puts supplies in a public cellar or warehouse, and everyone can buy it from there.

Get what he needs and no longer need money.

This is an idealized world that relies entirely on moral restraint. There are always people who can't help but be greedy, and the priest who first promoted this has been sentenced to six years of hard labor by the Directory because he himself could not control his greed and persuaded

The parishioners gave up all their property and shared it with everyone.

That's why she thought of the governor who came up with the conscription law during the Reign of Terror. He first enacted the law and then considered lending.

Agricultural loans have been used in China for more than a thousand years. It can be successful, but this method needs to be adjusted according to France's national conditions.

Louis XVI's act of exempting people from road construction corvee was very merciful, but it took away all the hope of rural people, which they lacked most.

Veterans not only have to go back to the countryside to find women, but also pass on some ideas and concepts. It is a bit like doing the work of a lord, but how annoying is the lord?

Anyway, the countryside can no longer be allowed to be so unorganized and blindly cultivated and planted.

Carnot was deep in thought.

"In Lyon, there was an official named Lanzhi. He published a pamphlet called "A Simple Book of Sufficient Food and Affordable Bread." At that time, I was busy with the military and did not have time to read it. Now that I am free, I found it interesting.

He proposed that the country should establish an agricultural joint-stock company to purchase harvests from farmers throughout the year. The price should not be determined by the owners' extravagant wishes, but by the financial strength of consumers. At the same time, this company is also an insurance company.

Taking on the responsibility of preventing hail and other disasters that affect agriculture, how about we start from here?”

"Agricultural insurance?"

"That's something to think about later. This company's current job is to lend money. What do you think about using land as collateral?"

"This is what I'm most afraid of." She said with a frown, "They will think I'm spying on their land before lending money to them."

"Some land is not suitable for farming in the first place." Carno said with a cold face, "Can't you do something else after mortgaging the land?"

"Napoleonius couldn't even push back on planting sugar beets, let alone let them do other things."

Carnot stood up angrily.

"I think your previous method of recruiting soldiers in different levels may be better. Some people will be used directly, and some people will be on standby. There is also the agricultural company you mentioned. How much financing do you need?"

"1.2 billion."

Sophie's hand shaking as she poured the black tea shook, not only her, but also Georgiana was shocked.

Napoleon only spent 65 million francs on his second expedition to Italy. How many wars could he fight with 1.2 billion?

"There are 88 counties in the country, we can pick some."

"I think there is no problem with this. As long as Napoleoni agrees, those counties that have not been allocated will not protest."

Carno's expression looked complicated.

"Napoleoni was very afraid of civil war." Georgiana said, "When France is in chaos, other countries will take advantage of it. You have protected this country in your own way."

"This is definitely not what he said." Carno said with a cold face.

"I need your strength, just like just now, you directly told me a direction."

"You are newly married, and you are living in two places. Don't you feel lonely?"

"We are not married." She said with a cold face, "No matter how much it looks like a wedding, it is not a wedding. What's more, he went to Italy after registering with Josephine. I think I can do better than her."

"No matter how much it looks like a wedding, it's not a wedding...I heard that soldiers in your country are wealthy people."

"That's it, officer."

"You said you would lend money to some people first. Are these the poor or the rich?"

"A person who can grow food from the ground can solve food security." Georgiana said, "Whether he is poor or rich, it depends on his land and farming skills."

"This is not easy to handle."

"That's why we need you as the Director," said Georgiana. "You have to hurry up and start sowing the seeds right away."

"What are you doing?" Carno said a little unhappy.

Busy falling in love with a tyrant.

Of course she wouldn't say this.

"I have other work, you can go back and do it first."

Carnot stared at Georgiana, as if trying to tell whether she was Marie Antoinette, since they both had gray hair.

But he didn't say anything and turned around and left.

"What else do you have to do?" Sophie asked curiously.

"I'll find something for myself to do." She thought she was being humorous and said, then she took a sip of the same black tea that the British royal family drank.
