Mr. Coggello has a very good grasp of his political situation. He knows that he is neither a figure who shares weal and woe with Governor Bonaparte like Old Sean of the patrol or Major Trifalli of the army, nor is he a figure like Carlo Bo
Senator Nabal is a relative of the Governor.
Under such circumstances, Mr. Coggello still holds the important position of Minister of Finance. He understands that if he wants to stay in this position for a long time, he must use actions and loyalty to show his loyalty to Governor Bonaparte.
It's nothing to work hard to express your worth.
Lawrence nodded slightly, looked at the large pile of documents brought by Mr. Coggello and asked:
"What's going on in Corsica in the past few months? Especially economically?"
Mr. Coggero nodded excitedly, and after talking about his professional field, he was no longer as reserved as when he entered:
"The economic situation is very good, mainly in trade. Genoa's warships have lifted their blockade and attacks on us, which has gradually increased the number of merchant ships traveling to and from the port of Ajaccio. This includes Bastia in the north, where
It also has great potential to become a bustling transit port.”
"Corsica is an excellent Mediterranean transit base, but it was a pity that it was devastated by war for too long." Lawrence nodded and commented.

"Yes, that's right, Mr. Governor, there is another matter worthy of attention..."
Mr. Coggello did not look at the information he brought, but added to Lawrence skillfully:
"Since the news that Corsica will submit to France has become a well-known thing, our trade with France has become increasingly close. After the two countries reach a customs union to form a common market, trade exchanges will become even closer. Ajac
There are already some citizens in Chaunet who are accustomed to using French currency."
"Well...this is also a good thing." Lawrence said slowly, touching his chin.
In the completed treaty of surrender, the future Kingdom of Corsica will integrate economically with France, including using the same currency and building a common market and customs union.
Although this would cause Corsica to lose the power to independently formulate monetary policy, compared with the benefits of joining the French market, Lawrence certainly looked down upon this meager coinage power.
"As for the use of French currency, the Ministry of Finance can take the lead in encouraging Corsicans to exchange and use French currency."
Lawrence told Cogelo:
"At the same time, your department must also be prepared to recycle old Corsican coins. These coins will soon be withdrawn from circulation."
"Yes, I understand." Mr. Coggello responded ably, and while recording Lawrence's instructions in the book, he sighed casually:
"Although these coins have only been issued for more than ten years, they are probably memories that many Corsicans will never forget. They never expected that they would become a pile of scrap copper and iron so soon."
"Despite this, Corsica must move forward anyway. And..."
Lawrence lowered his head and took out a bronze Corsican gold coin from his wallet, held it tightly in his hand, and said in a deep voice:
"These coins will be of great help to us right away."
