Chapter 55: , The tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on


   In the following months, the days were still "calm". Of course, this "calm" is relative to the days when the Bastille was besieged.
   The order of the higher communities in Paris has been basically guaranteed. The newly compiled National Self-Defense Army patrols day and night, so that the little beetles dare not mess around in these places. Now those poor people have basically been eliminated from the National Self-Defense Army, because they have to spend a lot of time on making a living instead of receiving military training.
   But if you leave these neighborhoods and inadvertently walk into the areas where the poor live, you will immediately find that the restoration of order is just an illusion, and the order here is even more chaotic than before the revolution.
  According to Aunt Sophie, thieves and robbers are everywhere on the street.
   "I dare not walk on the street with bread." Aunt Sophie said when Joseph suggested that Aunt Sophie could take some bread from him and give it to her children.
"Mr. Bonaparte, you don’t know how messy the neighborhood is now! Alas, a woman like me, holding bread, walking down the street-my goodness, it’s comparable to walking in a forest with tigers It’s still dangerous inside. Don’t talk about me, you’re a big guy like you. If there is only one person, I’m sure you will be robbed if you take bread in those places if you can’t walk a hundred steps. If it was Lu Master Xi'an, he will be shot if he can't take ten steps. If little Louis, ah, he will disappear without a trace."
   "If so, how do you bring home the bread you bought?" Joseph asked.
"Of course several neighbors went to buy it together." Aunt Sophie said, "It's all about you men, such as tertiary conferences, kings, conferences, revolutionary nonsense. I originally thought that the days are already sad enough. If you make a fuss, it will not be more sad. Who knows... Sir, they all said that the third level meeting will be held, and everyone will be able to eat. But some bad guys don’t let us. There was a third-level meeting. We all went to hit the bad guys. But the bad guys were also called, and the third-level meeting was held, but the bread became more expensive. When the third-level meeting was not open, we couldn't afford bread; After the meeting, we still can’t afford bread: isn’t the third level meeting for nothing?"
   Joseph listened, and sighed: "Aunt Sophie, the third-level meeting itself can't make bread."
   At the same time, he added another sentence in his mind: "Moreover, what those representatives think is never how to make the people at the bottom of society have enough bread."
   This idea did not wrong those representatives. In fact, most of those representatives are rich people, so they don’t worry about bread. Some people even compared the wages of French and British people, and concluded that the wages of French people are too high, which is a drag on the French economy. Therefore, legal measures should be used to limit the proposal of high wages.
   "But, doesn't it mean that everyone will have a good life as soon as the three-level meeting is held? They can't just lie like this." Aunt Sophie muttered.
   "Actually, it's not just you." Joseph also sighed and said, "Even me, today's life is harder than before. Except for salary, everything has gone up. My life has become sad."
   This is half true, but if Joseph is not some other income, relying solely on school salary, now his life will indeed become a bit difficult. Even "senior technicians" like Joseph (this is what Joseph laughed at himself) are likely to fall into difficulties, and the life of ordinary people is naturally even more impossible.
   But in fact, if there is no three-level conference, no revolution, even if ordinary people’s life is a little bit sad, nothing will necessarily happen. To be honest, in Europe, the days of the French, even the bottom of the French people, are not bad. At least, compared to British workers who have an average life span of no more than three years, or Russian serfs who have no personal freedom, I really don't know where it goes. As for Germany? Heine even said: "One percent of the suffering our German people have suffered is enough for the French to initiate a thousand uprisings."
   But the problem is that the convening of the third-level meeting gave the bottom a huge hope. All French people, even those who are at the bottom like Aunt Sophie, knew about it and were full of hope for it. And all kinds of propaganda continue to blow this hope bigger and bigger, more and more beautiful, it seems that as long as the three-level meeting is held and the king supports the constitution, all problems can be solved. It's almost "After the third-level meeting, the constitution becomes everything, with foie gras on the table, and the chick hugs at night".
   However, in the face of reality, the hope that was blown to the boss was shattered like a soap bubble. The third-level meeting was opened, the Constituent Assembly was established, and the Bastille was beaten down. However, let alone the foie gras, even the brown bread was gone. Such a gap can cause pain far more than the pain of not having enough food, and the hatred caused by such a gap naturally far exceeds the hatred caused by not having enough food. Therefore, the Great Revolution did not erupt in the most oppressed countries, but first erupted in France.
"So, the king agreed to convene a three-level meeting, which is his biggest misstep. Now the anger of the citizens of Paris is still gathering. With a little guidance, the confrontation between the whole Paris and the king is inevitable. Ha ha, lost the support of Paris, and even After gaining the hatred of Paris, why can the king wear his crown securely?" At the Royal Palace, the Marquis of Mirabeau is talking with the owner, the Duke of Orleans.
   The Marquis of Mirabeau is a wonderful person. He was either in scandal or in jail for the first half of his life.
   Mirabeau showed turbulence when he was young. His father sent him to the army to train, but he gambled, made friends and even tried to be a deserter. As a result, he was eventually imprisoned in Rai Island Prison. After being released from prison, he participated in the suppression of the Corsican rebellion, during which he performed well and was promoted to captain and returned to Paris.
   Under the arrangement of his father, he married Emily, the daughter of the Marquis Mariani. The purpose of Mirabeau’s father was to obtain a huge wealth of each other through this marriage. But these couples don't pay attention to each other. They don't like each other. They also like to live a luxurious life. They spend extravagantly every day and owe large foreign debts. In order to prevent his son from humiliating his family reputation, the old Marquis de Mirabeau imprisoned him and prohibited him from disposing of his own property. As a result, Mirabeau remained unstoppable, and in 1774 he was imprisoned in the Fortress of Ive. (This is the prison where Edmund Dantes stayed in "The Count of Monte Cristo.")
   In 1775, Mirabeau was released from prison. However, as soon as he was released from prison, he seduced a married woman, the young wife of the Marquis de Molière, and eloped with her to Holland.
  Of course, this behavior caused the old Marquis Mirabeau to cut off all his sources of income. So Mirabeau had to start relying on writing as a living. Mirabeau came to the top and knew all kinds of in the French upper class, so he wrote something specifically to expose the corruption of the French upper class, and soon became a famous critic of the old French system.
   However, the money made by writing is not enough for Mirabeau. This person has always spent time and wine, and the best thing is to spend money. So during this time, he was put in prison again because of a debt dispute. Of course, Mirabeau claimed that this was a persecution by the reactionary French authorities.
   But soon, Mirabeau was released from prison, and miraculously paid off his debts, led a more lavish life, and never got into trouble due to debt disputes. In this regard, Mirabeau declared that this is because of his various successful investments, which have brought him rich returns. He also stated that achieving financial freedom is nothing more than accomplishing a small goal. But many people say that he just found a big benefactor and got a lot of money from him. The big gold master at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is the Duke of Orleans who single-mindedly wanted to corrupt the king's reputation.
   Because of continuing to criticize the old French system, Mirabeau has gained a good reputation in the third level of dissatisfaction with reality. When the third-level meeting was held, Mirabeau became the third-level representative. And became one of the leaders of the Constituent Assembly.
"However, Parisians have experienced a similar situation many times now. Moreover, the growth of wheat is very good this year. It is generally believed that if there is no sudden natural disaster, there will be a close A bumper harvest that has been rare in ten years. By that time, the price of food will definitely fall. This is not based on human will. Once the price of food falls, the dissatisfaction of the people of Paris will also decline, and the flame of revolution will It will go out. If we cannot hurry, the old system will continue." The Duke of Orleans frowned.
   Mirabo laughed, and the fat under the broad chin also shook.
"His Royal Highness, don't worry, how can the current situation support the autumn harvest? If it were before, the people of Paris would have to bear it, it would not be unbearable, but now it is different. The third-level conference and the revolution gave them hope, and the reality will be better. This hope is broken, and the anger generated in it is not easy to suppress. Besides, who can suppress such anger now? Moreover, the countryside in other provinces is also now in turmoil, and farmers are eager to get rid of land rent and the Eleventh Tax. They can’t wait. There are rebellions everywhere. In order to appease them, the Constituent Assembly is preparing to pass a new decree. This new decree will definitely be blocked by the king, and then we will raise prices by the way. The anger of the people is drawn to the king, and the situation will turn to our advantage."
