Chapter 128: , King Gigi

   When the news that Robespierre had lost his head reached Toulon, Joseph had just completed all the trials of his boat. The performance of this boat is very good in all aspects, the only problem is that it is useless now.
  The news was informed by Napoleon himself.
   "Napoleon," Joseph said, "Are you ready for the carriage?"
   "Everything is ready." Napoleon replied, "A carriage and a team of cavalry. I will ask Leclerc to you with the cavalry. You go now."
   "Okay." Joseph said, "Wait a minute, I'll get something and leave."
  Joseph walked in, changed into a more travel-friendly clothes, and walked out carrying a large suitcase.
   "What is this?" Napoleon asked.
   "Some experimental data." Joseph said, "You put away this thing, it is very useful. Don't lose it, break it, and don't let the bear kids see it."
   "I know, I will definitely not let Lucien see it." Napoleon said.
   "Don't let him know if you know it." Joseph said, "Also, Napoleon, you didn't understand all of what I meant. I mean, don't read it either..."
  Joseph is eager to return to Paris for a reason.
  First of all, in Paris, there is no guillotine devil anymore. Joseph felt that there was nothing scary there anymore, and it was even safer than Toulon. After all, there are still some chaotic parties in Toulon.
  Of course, this is just the least important reason. The most important thing is that he must rush back as soon as possible to receive it. At present, it is estimated that few people will notice, but it is the most valuable group of assets-the staff of the "Military Technology Research Institute".
  Joseph knew that in Paris after Robespierre, there would be a good time of dancing demons. King Gigi, who had been suppressed by the big tiger Robespierre in the past, will surely make Paris a mess. In this situation, even Kano may not be able to keep the'Military Research Institute'. If you rush back early, you can grab the most valuable batch of babies.
  Just as Joseph expected, the gang of King Gigi in Paris really let go of the mess. They first abolished all price-limiting measures, and prices immediately went up. The common people of Paris are of course complaining, but a group of guys headed by Ballas took this opportunity to make money one by one. Especially Ballas, as the biggest hero in the struggle to overthrow Robespierre, his status has been greatly improved, and he quickly made a fortune by relying on the power in his hands. He soon became a millionaire.
  Talian, another great hero, also won a position in the "National Salvation Committee". Although the power of the "National Salvation Committee" is no longer comparable to that of Robespierre, this committee is still very important.
  But in this group of victors, two of them played a key role, but they were unlucky.
  The first unlucky one is Fouché. In the struggle against Robespierre, hardly anyone played a more critical role than Fouché. But Fouché works behind the scenes, and his credit is most easily ignored. Now it's time to compete for the fruits of victory, and everyone is naturally willing to ignore his credit.
  If only the credit is ignored, what’s even worse is that although everyone forgets his credit for overthrowing Robespierre, they have not forgotten his
credit
when he was a special commissioner. And they remembered Fouché's speech in the National Assembly, "I have done credit for Jacobin, I bleed for Jacobin, and I want to be a dog for Jacobin". So Foucher actually became "the remnant Jacobin leader."
  Fuchie saw that the situation was not right, and first went to Kano for help, but Kano kept looking down on the chameleon, coupled with this man's straightforward character, the two people could not talk about it. Helpless, Fouché really ran to try to organize the rest of Jacobin and become a veritable "Jacobin leader." To be honest, the remaining Jacobin, at least the pan-Jacobin, is actually very strong. If Fouché can really unite them, then he can indeed become a pivotal role in the National Assembly.
  However, those people are also in a panic, and they don’t trust Fouché at all, and even worry that Fouché did this to lure the snake out of the cave. Some of these people prepared for the uprising without any calculation, and some fled from Paris. As for Fouché, let him die!
  As a result, Fouché was expelled from the National Assembly, lost his status as a member of the assembly, and lost his salary to support his family. In the original history, Fouché had to condescend to mess with Ballas, and was responsible for exploring the privacy of Ballas' political opponents. With this method, he was able to make ends meet.
  As for the second hapless guy, it is Kano who has done a lot even on the bright side.
  Kano’s problem is not something else, but that he is too ignorant, trying to prevent everyone from getting rich.
  The war between France and the anti-French alliance is still going on. What kind of business is most profitable during the war? Of course, the business related to munitions production is the most profitable. However, when the evil Robespierre and Jacobin were in power in the past, they used various methods. For example, the army sent relevant personnel to over-rigorously audit the product quality, which made everyone's profits significantly increased. decreased.
  Such a policy formulated in the hands of the evil devil, and that is very evil in itself, should of course be abolished immediately. However, Kano actually stood up and said that this policy is very good and worth sticking to.
  In addition, there is also the military research institute, which is highly confidential, and not to mention using the country’s money to conduct research. It also organizes the production of key weapons by itself. Isn't this contrary to basic economic principles? What's more, this is also a bad thing made by Jacobin, shouldn't it be abolished?
  However, Kano is even more stubborn on this issue. He even threatened to withdraw from the
National Salvation Committee
.
  In the era of Robespierre, Kano often confronted Robespierre and them, but in terms of Kano’s indispensable ability, even Robespierre tolerated him. On the night before Robespierre’s downfall, when writing that speech, he wrote all the names of the people his spy had discovered and met Fouché secretly, except for one name, that was Kano. . Because Robespierre knows that this person is indispensable-Robespierre has a little politician even in his craziest times.
  But King Gigi is not like that. Since Kanuo got in the way, let him go! Threat everyone with "withdraw from the National Salvation Committee"? Then let him quit!
  So Kano was kicked out of the National Salvation Committee.
  Kano was so angry that he almost resigned and told him to return home. But his wife stopped his impulse.
   "Lazar, why are you working? Are you not working for France? Think about it, what will happen to France if you leave at this time?"
  So Kano barely stayed, but his power and influence were greatly reduced.
Without Kano in the way, the new "National Salvation Committee" quickly passed a resolution to abolish everything that blocked their way of making money-so before Joseph arrived in Paris, the Army Technology Institute had become a ruin. . The items inside were divided up by King Gigi. As for the researchers, these guys did not intend to spend a lot of money to receive such a research team. They only want to make quick money, so they put these experienced high Level researchers are dedicated to society.
  Lavoisier finally regained his freedom, but Charles, who guarded him, went to prison. The circumstances of life are so peculiar and so fickle. But I believe Charles should be able to adapt quickly to prison life.
  Freed, Lavoisier discovered that his property had long been confiscated by Robespierre. Of course, I don’t even need to think about the movable property. There are still several confiscated real properties in Lavoisier. So he ran around, looking for people he knew everywhere, and spent a lot of money, but he didn't even return the real estate. Fortunately, as Lavoisier, it is not difficult to get a decent job. He quickly got a job at the University of Paris~EbookFREE.me~ Now he has to rely on this teaching position to support his family.
  The various military technologies in the research institute have also been
shared
freely to the arsenal of some upstarts. It even includes related technologies for nitrated starch. And this approach is almost doomed to this key technology will soon be leaked out.
  Since the leakage of these technologies is inevitable, some factory owners simply proposed that certain neutral countries are very interested in buying "small melons", or open up the export of "small melons". I can also change something back to ease the current economic difficulties.
  Such a motion, of course, was desperately opposed by Kano, but his current position is not the same as before. As a result, the opposition was invalid, and such a bill passed smoothly. Of course, there is still such a clause in the bill, that is: "It is forbidden to sell to non-neutral countries."
As a result, a new mode of trade began to appear in Europe, which was to carry a ship of goods to France under the flag of a neutral country, exchange it for "Bonaparte Melon", and then sail the ship to Britain or Spain or Italy. Sell ​​these things to these anti-French alliance countries.
  At the beginning, the people who did this work were all British and Italians. But later, they were quickly squeezed out of this market by another group of more competitive businessmen. As for the businessmen who came from behind, they are of course French businessmen.
  When Joseph arrived in Paris, he had to face such a situation.
