In order to protect the interests of all his colleagues in the Ministry of Railways, Morny had to forcefully refuse Thiers' request to see the accounts of the Ministry of Railways.

None of the members of the Legislative Assembly present were fools, and a glance at the properties, clubs, and leisure places purchased by the Ministry of Railways over the years gives a rough idea of the internal accounts of the Ministry of Railways.

It's just that the members of the Legislative Assembly are reluctant to poke the hornet's nest.

It's true that the Ministry of Railways is not clean, but are they clean?

If the stick of integrity review is smashed down, nine out of ten of the parliamentarians present will be stoned to death by themselves.

During the Third Republic, there was a stunned young man who vigorously examined the issue of corruption when he was an opposition party, and he was directly ousted from power by successive cabinets on charges of corruption, so he was also called an attic expert.

So he offended a large number of people, and after the "Panama Canal" scandal, the cabinet at that time collapsed again, but this time the collapse revealed that he was a friend of one of the parties involved in the Panama Canal scandal.

He was seized by the opposition, and he was quickly struck by the Tao.

The people of Paris, who had been guided by him, were now being charged against him by the leaders of the opposition party.

When the dragon slayer becomes an evil dragon, the people of Paris have no concern for what the dragon slayer has done.

The stunned young man lost the next year's cabinet election due to a corruption scandal.

Gloomy and sad, he went into the wilderness, and when Ah came back again, his former edge had been smoothed out, and his life became sleek.

Under his leadership, France defeated Germany and became the victor of the First World War.

This man is George. Clemenceau.

People in a system would never tear down the throne unless they had to, and it was the norm in the 19th century for certain things to be discussed in the Legislative Assembly and to try to solve the problem within the framework.

Under meritocracy, civilians have only the power to be forced to make choices.

Even a party like the Republicans will only promise real freedoms to democracy at the time of elections.

When people really want freedom, especially the freedom to strike.

The republicans would tear back the veil of hypocrisy and brutally repress the workers.

If Britain's method of suppression of violence is the special police, the traditional method of suppression in France is the use of the army.

George. Clemenceau (yes, this one), the leftist who had supported the Paris Commune, happened to encounter a workers' strike when he was Minister of the Interior, and in order to restore order as soon as possible, he decisively used the army to suppress the workers.

The so-called universal suffrage system before World War I was, in the final analysis, nothing more than a toy to fool people.

Once the elites have agreed, they can repress the proletarians at the bottom without burden.

Mornidi's hardline forced Thiers to retreat, and some of the consensus of the elite could not be destroyed in his hands.

However, Thiers' words also made Morny take a step back, assuring the parliamentarians present: "In a few years, the Ministry of Railways will be able to pay off these bonds!" According to the estimation of the finance department, once the railway is fully developed, it will be profitable at a rate of 10% per year! ”

Molney's words made the councillors present relax a little, even if Molny's words were folded in half, it would be about 5% per year.

The annual interest rate of France's national debt is only about 4%, and railway bonds should surpass public bonds, and they should probably be able to be repaid.

None of the councillors present knew that the only way to make money was to connect the main trunk lines of major cities, and that the remaining branch lines were mostly bought and sold at a loss.

However their president, Jérôme. Bonaparte was now ambitious to build a complete railway network, a doomed loss and a pay-off deal for all the French people.

By the way, in two years, the Ministry of Railways has issued almost half a billion francs of bonds, and the total number of bonds accounts for a third of the entire French treasury.

Had it not been for the opaque nature of the Ministry of Railways' bonds, Morni would have had every reason to believe that the sheer amount of bonds would be enough to scare off any parliamentary bureaucracy.

The valley/span debt is not transparent, the financial statements are confused, and bonds are issued from time to time, so that Jérôme. Bonaparte sometimes wondered whether the finances of France and the "Eastern Roman" Empire came from the same Master.

After the issue of the Ministry of Railways' bonds had been resolved in an almost foolish manner, Morny made a final report: "The Ministry of Railways will build a first-class railway connecting the main cities of France in the next five years, as well as some second-class railways...... In 1856, the total number of railways built exceeded 9,000 kilometers! ”

Molny's words made the "social democrats" parliamentarians change color, and they did not understand what Morny meant.

Before the MPs could ask questions, Morni bowed to the members of the Legislative Assembly and left.

He went on to say that the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce and Industry Bifei, who had been Minister for two years, had already trained himself to be resilient, and he first reported to the Legislative Assembly on the construction of water conservancy and land reclamation, and then to the Legislative Assembly on the request for the establishment of agricultural schools and the proposal for new cooperatives.

For France, which has a long agricultural tradition, the development of agriculture is undoubtedly the most important relief.

Even members of the Legislative Assembly, who are critical of the government's misuse of finance, will no longer criticize the comparison in this regard.

However, many parliamentarians still have some complaints about agricultural cooperatives.

Some parliamentarians from the Republican and Order parties believed that what Befe called agricultural cooperatives would lead France to the hell of "utopian socialism."

Bifei had to take pains to explain that the role of the new agricultural cooperatives was to allow the peasants to have more capital to exchange with the cities.

"Our country is owned by the largest rural working population in all of Europe (Russia is automatically excluded here). According to statistics, the number of small land operations between 1 and 10 hectares is about 2.8 million to 3 million, accounting for 3/4 of the total business units, but the land they own is only one-quarter, 10 to 40 hectares, accounting for 20% of the business units, and the land area is 30%, and there are about 10,000 large land operators above 40 hectares, accounting for 4% of the number of operations, but the area can reach 45%!

France should ensure the profitability of the agricultural population, we should not only look at the big landowners, but also on the small landowners who face the loess and have their backs to the sky, we should open agricultural schools, set up agricultural lectures, and guide scattered small landowners to set up new agricultural cooperatives, and I propose that Paris should set up a credit bank for agricultural mutual assistance to effectively seek welfare for the agricultural population......"

Bife impassionedly presented his views to the members of the Legislative Assembly.

Although most of these views were plagiarized from the mouths of the physiocrats, and some of them were utopian socialist views, he was applauded by the members of the Legislative Assembly.

No one would object to such a politically correct thing.

"We should understand that poverty does not belong to the republic, and average does not belong to the republic! France should find its own way. The agricultural environment of our country is different from that of Britain, and we should establish a set of agricultural policies that are in line with our national conditions! It is also necessary to embark on a modern industrial road in line with the national conditions and build a European power that goes hand in hand with modern agriculture and industry. ”

Bife made a final summary with impassioned words, and Bife stepped down amid bursts of applause.

After the Bife report, the next ministers in turn made brief presentations to the Legislative Assembly.

The "Social Democrat" parliamentarians did not receive the same lash as they did with Morny, nor did they receive the same applause as they did with Bife.

After a smooth passage through several ministers, the Prime Minister of the French Republic, Opple, made his final concluding remarks.

From November 1849 to November 1850, the output of taxes was 1,643 million francs, which was pointed out to be 1,680,000,000,000 francs, an increase of about 100,000,000,000 francs compared with 1849.

One of the largest expenditures was administrative expenses, which accounted for nearly 600 million francs of administrative expenses for nearly 500,000 civil servants and parliamentarians throughout France.

[According to the government's calculations, France still needs about 200,000 civil servants, but these civil servants are a lot of expenses.] 】

The second is defence spending, which is not about 500 million francs for the Admiralty and the Army.

[The army occupies 100 million francs, the navy occupies 100 million francs, and the navy has been planned to continue to build between 1851 and 1855, with an expected annual increase of 100 million francs.] On the part of the Army, due to the planning of the War Department and the Secretariat of the Army, as well as Jérôme. Bonaparte took some power from the army, reducing the French army by almost 100 million francs.

War Minister Regnio was surprised to find that even if the army's finances were reduced, it still did not hinder the normal operation of the army. It's just that this hinders the interests of some of the military. The soldiers who stood in the way were all ordered to retire or sent to North Africa. 】

After the national defense spending, there was the agricultural spending, which was gradually spread out in various localities under the auspices of the government, and which also cost about 300 million francs.

Finally, there is the problem of compulsory education funding and the construction of Paris, the implementation of the Falu law has significantly reduced the education budget in France, and the rise of some church schools has effectively improved the financial problems of France, even if it is so, it has cost 200 million francs.

The remaining 80 million francs were used for the renovation of Paris, which was a drop in the bucket for Paris.
