I Am the Crown Prince in France

DuBoer sighed, but did not refute Luo. They were united in their opposition to the Supreme Court.

However, the situation is stronger than the people.

He glanced out the door. The representative of the Supreme Court was in the opposite room. He shook his head and said: But no one wants to be like Count Vezinier...

Before he finished speaking, several dignitaries and congressmen shrank their pupils.

Someone from the Supreme Court just brought a message, saying that in response to the strong demands of the people of Paris, His Majesty the King is considering retrialing all major cases handled by the High Court in recent years.

There is systemic corruption within the High Court, which means that as long as you are a judge here, you cannot avoid being involved in corruption.

Their butts are as unclean as Vezinier's!

And they can't stop the retrial - the public in Paris is currently agitated. As long as the people of the Supreme Court shout outside, thousands of people can be summoned to surround the court immediately, just like what happened to Vezinier. .

After a while, it was Dibol who took the lead, raising his hand feebly and saying solemnly: Register it.

As for his position, there is one difference from that of several other judges. That is that people from the Supreme Court told him that after the bill is passed, they will fully support him as the president of the High Court.

Of course, this was also Joseph's signal. The more we deal with this kind of opponent who seems to be at the end of his rope, the more we must insist on fighting one faction and the other to prevent them from being defeated.

Therefore, for DuBoer, although the power of the High Court will be greatly restricted in the future, his personal power can be compensated by the position of president, which can be reluctantly accepted.

Judge Wadier sighed and raised his right hand: I agree. Let it end as soon as possible...

Gretel and Oral had no choice but to raise their hands.

Just like that, the judges pinched their noses and passed the bill giving the Crown Court the power to supervise the High Court.

As for the clause at the end of the bill that removes the High Court's power to regulate news censorship agencies, they didn't even pay much attention to it - if the cow is dead, who will care about the few cow hairs on the ground?

The most surprising thing is that this very important bill did not stir up any waves in the aristocratic circle.

From the point of view of the nobles, it seems that nothing has changed whether the High Court is still the High Court, or the Conference of Notables is still the Conference of Notables.

Oh, an extra royal court? Isn't that the former royal plenipotentiary court, which has existed for hundreds of years...

What was very different from the indifferent reaction of the nobles was that ordinary people in Paris seemed extremely excited. The grievances they had accumulated for many years against the High Court were vented on Vezinier.

For several days in a row, people could be heard shouting on the streets: Long live the king, long live the plenipotentiary court!

Execute the shameless judge!

Especially those victims of Vezinier, they preached the king's benevolence and wisdom everywhere, and convened a plenipotentiary court to punish the villains.

Soon, under the leadership of the Paris Merchant, articles such as His Majesty the Great King's Glorious Victory and His Majesty the King's Just Judgment began to appear in various newspapers in Paris.

For the first time, negative public opinion about the royal family has changed.

…

Palace of Versailles.

Joseph was not surprised to learn that the bill regarding the Supreme Court had been passed.

Given the current trend, the High Court has no choice but to accept the bill.

However, the lack of constraints from the High Court in the future made him feel a lot more relaxed, and he could finally show off his talents and do more important things.

When he mentioned important things, he immediately thought of the imminent famine, and couldn't help feeling dizzy again.

There are more than 20 million people in France, and the food gap is calculated as 30%, which is also an extremely terrifying number. And he remembered that the food shortages would last until early 1790.

Joseph looked at the falling snowflakes outside the tall arched floor-to-ceiling window. It was now the end of the Snow Month, which was mid-January in the Gregorian calendar.

There are still six and a half months before the large-scale famine breaks out in July. Where will we get so much food from?

He had some ideas before, but the closer he got to the problem, the more he felt it was not enough.

For example, if you want to buy from abroad, you will need a large amount of funds. With France's current financial situation, there is simply no spare money to buy so much food.

Moreover, to store so much grain, grain storage institutions are needed, and grain grabbing must be prevented during the most difficult times.

Judging from what he has recently learned about the grain market, purchasing from foreign countries alone is not enough to fill the gap in France.

This is under the premise that the grain market is always stable. If profiteers take advantage of it, the gap will be even greater.

As for preventing hail in advance... historical data records that this year's hail is as big as an adult's fist. Unless all dealers wear steel armor, it will be impossible to prevent it.

Joseph thought about France's financial situation from the funds to buy grain.

He hadn't taken over financial affairs before, so he didn't feel it so obvious, but now the more than two billion yuan was like a mountain pressing on his chest, and it made him breathless just thinking about it.

The Paris Angels that I have worked hard for a long time are now all packed up and sold, and they are only worth ten million livres at most. In other words, 200 Paris Angels will be needed to plug this big hole!

He couldn't help but take a deep breath to make his chest feel more comfortable.

Therefore, if we want to solve the debt problem, we must fall back on the industrial revolution.

On the one hand, using the massive industrial products produced by the industrial revolution can obtain huge economic benefits and directly fill the financial gap.

On the other hand, the industrial revolution can also promote a substantial increase in national strength, thereby obtaining greater benefits in wars and overseas colonies, and then feeding back industry, forming a positive cycle.

In fact, the United Kingdom also experienced a serious debt crisis in the early 19th century. The situation was no better than that of France today. However, they relied on the dividends of the Industrial Revolution and successfully solved the dilemma despite being burdened with huge debts.

Joseph held up the warm tea cup and took a sip. If he wanted to engage in industry, he must first gain control of the country's industrial policy.

He couldn't help but shook his head. France didn't even have a Ministry of Industry at the moment, and the Minister of the Interior was also in charge of industry. It would be damning if someone like Monod could successfully carry out the Industrial Revolution.

But fortunately, I have recently picked up a few more cards, and I can try to reconcile them with Mono and ask him to give up the industrial part.

At night.

There is always a ball at the Palace of Versailles.

Joseph bravely moved around among a large group of warblers and swallows, and finally squeezed into Mono's side, and hurriedly pulled him back.

The young girls thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to invite some girl to dance, but at this moment they saw him holding the Minister of the Interior's arm tightly, with strange looks on their faces...
