Fox of France

　　 Since Bishop Talleyrand sold the land of the church, the financial crisis of the new government seems to have been temporarily lifted. But it is not easy to sell land worth more than 3 billion livres at once. If it is expensive, no one can afford it; if it is cheaper, it will be a disadvantage. So someone proposed a new method, which is to rely on these lands and issue a paper currency.

　　According to the original plan, the circulation of this paper currency should correspond to the value of the church land. In theory, these banknotes can be recycled by the government by gradually selling church land. So in theory, the value of these banknotes is still guaranteed.

　　This kind of banknotes are called finger notes. Now Joseph’s wages are mainly paid in this paper currency.

　　 Kano believes that Joseph's time after returning home from get off work every day must be spent on studying mathematical problems, otherwise it will be impossible to explain why he can find things from time to time after such a heavy work.

But in fact, the most important thing for Joseph to go home every day is not to study academics, but how to turn the notes in his hand into silver coins or other things as soon as possible, which is more reliable in Joseph's opinion, such as Land and food.

　　 If this kind of thing is put in a few years later, when Robespierre is in power, it would be like putting his head under the guillotine. But at this moment, everyone is doing this kind of thing. It is said that Robespierre proposed to limit the maximum price of food in Parliament. But this proposal was unsurprisingly rejected, and it didn't even enter the stage of formal discussion-because at this time, in the parliament, except Robespierre, almost everyone was using this to make money.

　　 Joseph did not do it alone, in fact, he also hired a few partners. One is his old partner, Lavoisier, and the other is Dandong who met through Amon.

　　 These two partners were later pushed to the guillotine when Robespierre was in power. But that will be a few years later. Joseph thinks that as long as you pay attention to it, don't do too much, stop it early enough, and add your own "usefulness", it shouldn't be a big problem.

　　 Leaning on the news, a few people made a lot of business.

　　 In such a fulfilling life, Joseph suddenly received a letter from Napoleon from Corsica. The letter mentioned that Pauli had returned to Corsica.

　　 Poly was the hero of the Corsican independence movement. Joseph's father used to be Poly's adjutant, and he followed Poly and fought the French. After the resistance failed, Paulie went into exile in England, while Joseph's father returned to France. Joseph knew that Pauli had been an idol in Napoleon's heart for a long time. Napoleon has always been eager to lead Corsica with him to gain independence and freedom.

　　 But from this letter sent by Napoleon, Joseph could indeed feel that Napoleon was in a bad mood. Although Napoleon didn't say much in his letter, the feeling of disillusionment between the lines can be easily felt.

　　 "What's wrong with this guy?" Joseph thought, "Maybe I should go see him."

　　 But with such busy affairs nowadays, Joseph really couldn't spare the time, so he could only send another letter to Napoleon, comforting him on the one hand, and simply inviting Napoleon to Paris. Because in Joseph's opinion, Corsica is too small, and there is no future for development on that island.

A week after the letter was sent, Joseph came home from get off work, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a short man sitting at the table playing chess with Lucien, while Louis stood on the side to help him: "Napoleon, Napoleon, take the bishop Move over and chase his knight..."

　　 Hearing the sound of opening the door, Napoleon put down the chess piece in his hand and raised his head.

　　 "Joseph, you came back later today than Lucien said." Napoleon said. His face was full of smiles, and he couldn't see the frustration in the last letter.

"Why did you come so soon, I gave it to you... You didn't receive my reply to you, did you?" Joseph took off his jacket and gave it to Aunt Sophie who came up, wrinkling slightly. Asked the eyebrows.

"How is it possible to get it?" Napoleon stretched out and put the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard. "I heard that you wrote a letter a week ago. I had already left for Paris at that time. If I stay In Corsica, maybe I can receive that letter right now."

　　 "Napoleon, you can't make it anymore. You said you want to avenge me!" Louis interrupted.

　　 "Joseph is back, what are you going to do. Besides, Lucien has already lost this game, why should he eat nothing?" Napoleon said disapprovingly.

　　 "You also have a slight advantage in the situation, not more pieces than me, where will I lose?" Lucien was not convinced.

　　 "Hehe..." Napoleon just smiled, but didn't answer.

　　 "Napoleon, have you figured it out? I'm talking about Pauly." Joseph walked to the edge of the table, stretched out a chair, sat down, and glanced at the chess game on the table. Just like Lucien said, he didn’t suffer in piece strength, and he even got an extra pawn, but the position was also like Napoleon said. The position of his pieces was more reasonable, and the important channel in the center of the board. Almost all controlled by his chess pieces, and his **** chain is more complete. Joseph felt that Napoleon's victory was almost a foregone conclusion.

"I want to understand. In fact, the day after I sent that letter to you, I wanted to understand." Napoleon said, "Poly is too old, he still stayed decades ago. But I can Can’t be like him, be a zombie decades ago."

　　 "Go on," Joseph said.

　　 "Joseph, remember the investigation you asked me to do?" Napoleon said.

"of course I remember."

　　 "Do you know what the results of the investigation are like?" Napoleon shook his head.

　　 Joseph did not ask, he knew that Napoleon would say it himself.

"Most Corsican nobles, like Poly, are zombies that lived decades ago. Of course, this is also normal. For them, decades ago, the Italians got out and the French did not come. For a while, it was indeed a good time for them. Speaking of it, their desire for independence is higher now, but that is not because of anything else, but because they are frightened by what is happening in France. They are afraid of this. Changes will affect them. If Corsica can be rowed away like a boat, they will definitely hope that the island can be rowed into a secluded place to hide, so that it can escape the torrent of the times.

　　 As for the farmers in Corsica, they are even more idiots. The Corsican nobles at least knew what their interests were, and they didn't even know this. They are like ignorant animals, muddled. The whole Corsica is still sleeping in the middle ages. It may take a big storm to wake them up.

　　 In short, if I were to work with Poly, considering the current situation in France, there might be a war. It is indeed not impossible to take this opportunity to get rid of France, but such an independent Corsica is not the Corsica I hope it will only become a zombie like Poly. I don't want such a Corsica!

　　 If Corsica is to keep up with the pace of the times, the only way to let the storm of the French revolution blow into Corsica. Therefore, I think that independence is not a good thing for Corsica now. "

　　 "So you and Poly fell out?" Joseph asked.

"No." Napoleon said, "How could I go and fight with a zombie? Let alone in Corsica? Our mother and sister are still in Corsica. Corsica is a lifeless place, but compared to Paris, it’s also quieter and more suitable for women. As for me, I just won’t follow a phantom anymore. In this matter, I should really thank you, Joseph, without you. It’s not so easy for me to see the truth of the facts and make up my mind."

　　 "Okay, let's not talk about these things at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com." Joseph said, "Napoleon, do you have any plans now?"

　　 "There is still some time left for my leave. I plan to stay here for a while and see Paris. Then I will go back to the army." Napoleon said.

　　 "You mean you want to stay with me, eat mine and mine, become a parasite?" Joseph sneered.

　　 "Are you still going to enslave me? Just like when Aunt Sophie is away, you push housework to Lucien, and Lucien pushes housework to Louis?" Napoleon laughed.

"Isn't this taken for granted?" Joseph also laughed. "I am now working as an adviser to Lafayette with Captain Cano to study the reform of the French military structure. From your performance in Corsica. Look, I think that you have made a lot of progress, and it is no longer particularly stupid. So there are some things, I think, you can barely qualify to help me deal with it."

Joseph made it clear that he would shamelessly squeeze his brother as cheap labor. Napoleon naturally wanted to say without hesitation: "I, Napoleon, starved to death. I died outside. I jumped from here and won't let you squeeze! "But, but... It's really interesting to be involved in such a thing, think about it, as a second lieutenant, to intervene in the entire military structure of one of the most powerful countries in Europe, this is really... It smells so good!

"How can anyone let an idiot like you participate in such an important matter?" Napoleon shook his head, "This will definitely make mistakes. If something goes wrong, you will be held accountable. An idiot like you will definitely be dragged. Go out and shoot him. Joseph, although you are a fool, you are also a fool of Bonaparte. I must look at you so that you don't mess around and lose your head."
