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

None of the members of the Legislative Assembly present were fools. Just by looking at the real estate, clubs and leisure places purchased by the Ministry of Railways over the years, you can get 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 stab the hornet's nest.

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

If the integrity review stick is smashed down, in all likelihood, the members present will be killed by their own smash.

During the Third Republic period, there was a sluggish young man who was constantly slamming the issue of corruption when he was in the opposition party. He was directly ousted from office on the accusation of corruption in several successive cabinets, so he was also called a master of the attic.

Therefore, he offended a large number of people. After the "Panama Canal" scandal, the cabinet at that time collapsed again. However, this collapse revealed that one of the parties to the Panama Canal scandal was a good friend.

He was caught by the opposition and was quickly beaten.

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

When the dragon slayer turned into a dragon, the people of Paris would not worry about what the dragon slayer had done.

The stunned young man was defeated in next year's cabinet elections over a corruption scandal.

Sadly, he left the field. After Dang Ah came back again, his former sharpness has been smoothed out, and his life has become smoother.

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

This man is Georges Clemenceau.

Those who are in a system will never be demolished unless it is absolutely necessary. It is the norm in the 19th century to discuss certain matters in the Legislative Assembly and try to solve the problem within the framework.

Under meritocracy, the common people are only forced to make choices.

Even a party like the Republicans will only promise true freedom to democracy at the time of the election.

When people really want freedom, especially freedom to strike.

The republicans will tear open the veil of hypocrisy and carry out brutal repression on the workers.

If the British riot control method is the special police, the French traditional riot control method is the use of the army.

Georges Clemenceau (yes, this one), Zuo Zuoren, who once supported the Paris Commune, happened to encounter a workers strike when he was Minister of the Interior. In order to restore order as soon as possible, he was decisive. The army was used to suppress the workers.

The so-called universal suffrage system before the First World War was nothing but a toy to fool people.

Once the elites agree, they can repress the lower proletarians without any burden.

Mornedi was tough and forced Thiers to retreat, and some consensus among the elites could not be destroyed in his hands.

However, Thiers' remarks also made Morny take a step back, and he assured the members present: "These bonds will not be repaid by the Ministry of Railways in a few years! According to the calculations of the Finance Department, the railway will be Profit at 10% growth rate!"

Morney's words made the present members relax a little, even if Morney's words were folded in half, it would still be about 5% every year.

The annual interest rate of French government bonds is only about 4%, and railway bonds are more than public bonds, and probably, should be able to pay off.

None of the congressmen present knew that the only way to make money from the railway is to connect the main trunk lines in the big cities, and the remaining branch lines are mostly loss-making transactions.

However, their president, Jérôme Bonaparte, was ambitious at this time to build a complete railway network, a business that was doomed to lose money and required the entire French people to pay the bill.

By the way, in two years, Morne's Ministry of Railways has issued nearly 500 million francs of bonds, and the total number of bonds accounts for one-third of the entire French finances.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ministry of Railways bonds are opaque institutions, Molney has every reason to believe that the really large number of bonds is enough to scare off any parliamentary bureaucracy.

The debt is opaque, the financial statements are fooled, and bonds are issued from time to time, so that Jerome Bonaparte sometimes wonders whether the finances of France and the "Eastern Roman" Empire come from the same master.

After the bond issue of the Ministry of Railways was resolved in an almost foolish way, Morne made a final report: "The Ministry of Railways will build a first-class railway connecting major French cities in the next five years, as well as some second-class railways... Strive to build a total of more than 9,000 kilometers of railways in 1856!"

Morney's words made the members of the "social democrats" disgusted, and they did not understand what Morney meant.

Morney bowed to members of the Legislative Assembly before he could ask questions.

Next, he said that Bifei, Minister of Agriculture and Industry and Commerce, had already been trained as a minister for two years. Bifei had already trained his ability to adapt to the situation. He first reported to the Legislative Assembly on the construction of water conservancy and land reclamation, and then reported to the Legislative Assembly on the establishment of A request from an agricultural school and a proposal for a new type of cooperative.

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

Even members of the Legislative Assembly, who criticize the government for abusing its finances, will not criticize fees in this regard.

However, many parliamentarians are still quite critical about the issue of agricultural cooperatives.

Some members of the Republican and Order parties believed that Biffet's agricultural cooperatives had brought France into the **** of "utopian socialism".

Bifei had to struggle to explain the role of the new agricultural cooperatives to allow farmers to have more capital to exchange with the city.

"my country's owners have the largest rural working population in Europe (Russia is automatically excluded here). According to statistics, the number of small land operations between 1 and 10 hectares is about 2.8-3 million, accounting for 2.8 million to 3 million of the total operating units. 3/4 of the land, but they own only 1/4 of the land, 10 to 40 hectares, occupy 20% of the management unit, and the land area is 30%, there are about 162,000 large land operators with a size of more than 40 hectares , occupying 4% of the number of operations, but the area can reach 45%!

France should earnestly ensure the profitability of the agricultural population. We should not only focus on the big landowners, but also on the small landowners who face the loess and turn their backs to the sky. We set up agricultural schools and establish agricultural Lectures, instructing scattered small landowners to establish new agricultural cooperative institutions, and I propose that Paris should establish an agricultural mutual credit bank to effectively benefit the agricultural population..."

Buffy made an impassioned presentation to members of the Legislative Assembly.

Although most of these views were plagiarized from the mouths of Physiocrats experts, and some were even utopian socialist views, he was still applauded by 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, nor does the average belong to the republic! France should blaze a path of its own. The agricultural environment of our country is different from that of Britain, and we should establish a set of agricultural policies that suit our own national conditions! A modern industrial road that suits the national conditions, and build a strong European country with modern agriculture and industry keeping pace with each other.”

Bi Fei made the final conclusion with impassioned words, and Bi Fei stepped down amidst bursts of applause.

After the Bife report was over, the next few ministers made brief reports to the Legislative Assembly in turn.

The "social-democratic" MPs did not draw the sword like they did with Morney, nor did they get the rounds of applause they did with Biffy.

After a smooth passage of several ministers, the Prime Minister of the French Republic, Au Puer, made a final concluding speech.

French Republic November 1849-November 1850, the tax output was 1.643 billion francs, pointed out to be 1.68 billion francs, an increase of about 100 million francs compared to 1849 , from the financial statements, it can be seen that the French finance has gradually moved towards prosperity, and the economic depression that appeared in the Great Revolution in 1848 has gradually disappeared, but the expenditure in 1850 was nearly 100 million francs.

One of the biggest expenses is administrative expenses. There are nearly 500,000 civil servants and parliamentarians in France, and their administrative expenses account for nearly 600 million francs.

[According to the government's inference, France still needs about 200,000 civil servants, but these civil servants are not a small expenditure. 】

The second is defense spending, which is about 500 million francs jointly spent by the Admiralty and the Army.

[Among them, the army occupies 270 million francs~www.novelhall.com~the navy occupies 230 million francs, and the navy has planned to continue construction between 1851 and 1855, with an expected annual increase of 100 million francs. On the army side, due to the planning of the War Department and the Office of the Secretary and Jerome Bonaparte taking part of the power from the army, the French army has been reduced by nearly 100 million francs.

Minister of War Reño was surprised to find that even if the military's budget was reduced, it still did not hinder the normal operation of the military. It's just that this hinders the interests of some soldiers. All the soldiers who were obstructed were ordered to retire or sent to North Africa. 】

After the defense expenditure, there is the situation of agricultural expenditure. The agricultural cooperatives and agricultural schools established independently by the government under the leadership of the government gradually spread out. This expenditure also cost about 300 million francs.

Finally, there is the issue of compulsory education funding and the construction of Paris. The implementation of Falloufa has significantly reduced education funding in France, and the rise of some mission schools has effectively improved the financial problems in France. Even this cost 200 million francs. expenditure.

The remaining 80 million francs are all used for the reconstruction and construction of the city of Paris. For Paris, 80 million francs is a drop in the bucket.
