Chapter 135: ,difficult

Joseph sent Fanny home, and the old viscount also said why you came back so early. Then Joseph told them that he would leave Paris tomorrow and go back to Toulon temporarily.
　　 "Huh? Mr. Bonaparte, why go to a rural place like Toulon?" The old viscount was taken aback. "Paris is not like before."
　　 Joseph knows that geographical discrimination is common in the entire world and throughout the entire history.
　　 Just like in the eyes of the imperial people in the later generations of Dongda who eats the country, all the foreign lands are "underneath", and in the eyes of all the magic capitals, all the foreign lands are the countryside. In the eyes of most Parisians, apart from Paris, any place in France, whether it is Lyon or Marseille, is both the bottom and the countryside. Not only are the people there are hillbillies, but even the nobles are no exception. A viscount who lives in Paris is definitely more noble than an earl who lives in another province. Some people would rather die poor in Paris than go to the "countryside provinces".
　　 "Needs at work. After all, I am still a soldier now." Joseph replied.
　　 "Ah, this is indeed no way." The old Viscount sighed, "I don't know when peace will come down... Then, do you plan to return to Paris often?"
　　 "Yes, I will come to Paris often." Joseph looked at Fanny.
　　 "That's good, young people always want to charge outside. It's not bad to remember to come back often, unlike the Aman who only knows to write letters, but always refuses to come back."
　　 just said a few more words, and Joseph bid farewell and left. Fanny drove Joseph to the door, and Joseph saw that there was no one on all sides, so he hugged Fanny and kissed her on the cheek.
　　 "What are you doing? Dad saw it..." Fanny flushed and struggled feebly, her voice as small as a mosquito.
　　 "Your voice is too small, your father can't hear..." Joseph said, holding Fanny even tighter. Fanny struggled lightly but couldn't move away, and couldn't struggle too hard. She wanted to say something, but he blocked her mouth with her lips, so she had to take advantage of him.
　　 After a while, the two people separated.
　　 "I blame you, Dad will see it." Fanny said.
　　 Joseph just laughed.
　　 "You must write to me often, don't forget me..."
"Ok……"
　　 "Also, I want to check back often..."
"it is good."
　　 "By the way, you said there are some documents for me?"
　　 "Tomorrow morning, I will send it over, and I will bring any...a person to see you." Joseph said, "He is a very knowledgeable person. If you have anything difficult to handle, you can ask him for help."
　　 Fanny keenly noticed that Joseph hesitated when he mentioned this person, and asked, "Who is that person, is it your friend?"
"Friends? No, he and I are not friends, but partners. The guy's surname is Fouché. He is a very powerful and even dangerous guy. Of course, you don't need to worry. His danger is for politics, and he is in parallel with you. It doesn't matter."
　　 "But, is he not dangerous to you? How can you say that it has nothing to do with me?"
"Ah, at least for now, he and we are in the same camp. His danger is not against me." Joseph reached out and touched Fanny's face. "Well, what I gave you is not You should deal with important things slowly, don’t worry, anyway, in a short period of time, at least for several years, we should not be able to use these things."
"Ok……"
　　 Joseph kissed Fanny again, and then got into the carriage.
　　 kept watching the carriage disappear at the corner of the street, Fanny closed the door. As soon as the door was closed, I walked back to the front hall, and heard the voice of the old viscount in the small living room: "Is it Fanny? Come here..."
　　 Early the next morning, Foucher came to Joseph's residence as agreed. Joseph handed a small bag to Fouché. Fouché took it, it was heavy inside.
　　 "A total of twenty authentic'bonaparte melons'," Joseph said, "do you want to count them?"
　　 "No need," Foucher said.
　　 "Well, I'll go to Fanny's with you, so that you can get to know you too. When I'm not in Paris, you will take care of many things." Joseph said.
　　 The two got into the carriage and soon reached the place. Joseph and Fouché both got out of the carriage. Joseph came forward and knocked on the door, which was opened almost immediately. Fanny appeared in front of Joseph immediately.
　　Because of the presence of outsiders, both must naturally be very polite. Joseph introduced another Joseph to Fanny, then handed a handbag to Fanny, and then said to her: "This thing is not in a hurry, you can take it slowly and don't get tired."
　　 The two said a few more words, and Joseph left. But instead of leaving Paris directly, he went to the Ministry of War first.
　　 In the Ministry of War, Kano is worrying about his military expenses. France has now enlisted almost one million troops, and the military pay has naturally become a large expenditure. When Robespierre was still there, no matter what means, Robespierre finally guaranteed the supply of the army. Today, the newly established supervising government cannot even guarantee this. Although in terms of numbers, the money they allocated to the army was several times more than before, but... damn... they are all vouchers.
　　 As the so-called clever woman can hardly cook without rice, Kano can only take the method of demolishing the east wall and repairing the west wall at this time. Those who have not fought have to endure first, and those who fought in less important directions also need to endure first, and give priority to the troops that are fighting in the north.
　　 Even so, the issue of munitions caused Kano a headache.
　　Without the military representatives, the quality of those munitions can't be controlled at all, and all kinds of cutting corners have caused the military to complain. For example, in order to reduce the cost of the bayonet produced by some arsenal, not only the heat treatment process is completely omitted, but the materials used are also a big problem. You can bend some bayonet with your hands—of course, after the bend, you can also slam it straight with your foot, which is considered to be easy to maintain. There were others, but they couldn't bend, but in training, they just stabbed a few grassmen and broke several. However, this is also beneficial, and there is no need to maintain it directly.
There are also muskets that exploded because of cutting corners, and the "little melon" that did not know when to explode due to fuze problems. Well, in addition to the second "little melon" that General Rubel encountered, there were also Some were thrown from the French to the Austrians, and then they kept smoking on the ground, but didn't explode until the French army rushed past with the bayonet.
　　 Fortunately, French businessmen still have business ethics. They not only sell these inferior things to the French, but also sell them to people in other countries without discrimination. It is said that in Prussia, there were three "small melons" in a row that were left there without being pulled, and they exploded themselves. One of them killed and injured more than ten people. This caused Prussian soldiers to protest and refused to use French-made melons. .
　　 However, considering that the technical secrets of things like "little melon" are probably not kept, after all, there are too many decent people who know it now. In case that decent person takes other people's money and does undecent things, it may not be long before only the French family uses fake and shoddy products. You say this is anxious!
So when he saw Joseph, Kano said: "Joseph, why are you still in Paris? Go back to Toulon and build a reliable arsenal for me first. At least, get a batch of reliable quality'melon'. Damn it! Move fast, otherwise, maybe sometime, the north will not be able to hold it!"
　　 "Is it so serious?" Joseph asked, "We have more people than them."
　　 "That's just on the books." Kano said, "Now we are short of money, and the number of troops we can use is even less than others!"
　　 "Also, go back and tell Napoleon that from next month, the salary of his troops will be reduced." Kano said again.
　　 "Damn it, how much is it?" Joseph asked quickly.
　　 "Reduced to one-third of the current one." Kano said.
"You are raising an army? Lazar, such a small amount of military salary, and raising birds are not enough! With such a small amount of money, let alone training, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is not enough just to eat! Other troops can be a little harder. , But we can't hurt our own foundation, can't we?" Joseph quickly argued for reason.
　　 "Other armies, as long as they are not on the battlefield, are reduced to a quarter of their original size, or even lower." Cano said, "I really don't have any money."
"Lazar, in this case, it will destroy the morale of the army. High morale is also one of the most important advantages of our army. If even this is gone, France alone will not be able to fight almost the entire European." Joseph frowned.
"Yes, yes, what you said makes sense. But I am not a god, and I can't say'you have to have money, so you have money.' It is my expense to be able to get Napoleon to have one third The result of my best effort."
Joseph listened, and sighed: "Lazar, if this is the case, then we can only figure out our own way. You know, the army is a violent organization, and they have guns in their hands. They are no better than ordinary people, they You won’t starve honestly. If you don’t do it well, the army will become a gang.

　　 "This is absolutely intolerable." Kano said.
　　 "Lazar, how about we attacked Italy from the south?" Joseph suddenly said, "Even if the army is going crazy, let them go crazy on other people's turf."
　　 "Do you want to turn our army into Genghis Khan's nomads?" Kano said.
　　 "No, no, no, we won't become nomads. When we go to Italy, we go to fight the local tyrants and divide the fields."
