Chapter 837： Summary of each department (Part 1)

"Indeed! Your Majesty!" Mane answered truthfully.

Then he paused and continued: "However, my subordinates believe that last year's fiscal expenditure does not represent the overall state of our country's finances.

Because last year Empire's goal was to maintain employment rates.

Therefore, in many cases have to make concessions!

As the Empire's economic system gradually moved out of the war, the employment rate also stabilized.

Therefore, the minister can assert that the fiscal revenue of the empire this year will definitely be better than last year, and the situation that the revenue exceeds the expenditure will inevitably usher in a change! "

As soon as Minister Manet's voice fell, Jerome Bonaparte immediately began to applaud Minister Manet.

The ministers and senior officials of the surrounding departments (only the senior official of the Seine Department, Baron Haussmann was invited to the meeting), also applauded for Manie.

Seeing this, Magnet hurriedly bowed to Jerome Bonaparte.

The applause lasted for a while before it stopped when Jerome Bonaparte gestured for it.

"Minister Manet, your speech is inspiring!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Manet with a smile, "Our country needs ministers like Minister Manet who maintain an optimistic attitude when faced with difficulties. !

A temporary financial handover does not mean that the economy of the empire is declining. From a long-term perspective, the economy of the empire is still on the rise.

And I don't think it is a sin for the government to issue government bonds. The issuance of 300 million government bonds means that the subjects of the empire believe that the empire's government bonds can give them a return, so they are willing to actively buy government bonds!

If the subjects of the empire have no confidence in us, how can any subject dare to buy our national debt.

What's more, our national debt is taken from the people and used for the people!

We use the taxes paid by the people of the Empire, the railways, bridges, and renovated houses we build, which are not used on them!

There are always people who say that we are high-ranking masters. In my opinion, every one of us here is a public servant who works hard for the people. "

After Jerome Bonaparte's brazen speech ended, it immediately aroused the sympathy of the big rats present, and applause even more enthusiastically than before also resounded in the imperial conference hall.

Jerome Bonaparte received the applause of the squirrels calmly.

After the applause, Jerome Bonaparte turned his attention to the Minister of Justice, Rouet, "Rouet, tell us about the situation of the Ministry of Justice!"

"Yes!" Attorney General Rouet got up quickly, he cleared his throat and responded to Jérôme Bonaparte: By the end of December 1856, the Ministry of Justice had handled nearly 4,000 cases, most of them Most cases are disputes.

There are only a few hundred cases involving subversion of the empire. Among the hundreds of cases, more than 2,000 prisoners have been tried by the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court, and among them, they have been sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment (approximately 1 to 2 years). There will be nearly 1,000 prisoners in the prison, and most of the remaining prisoners will be transported to Algeria, responsible for the construction of Algerian land.

After listening to Rouet's introduction, Jerome Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction and said to Rouet: "Rouet, you have done a good job, the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court, as the two highest legislatures in our country, should Such a fair law enforcement!

However, I have a small request I hope you can listen to a little! "

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Rouet responded to Jerome Bonaparte with a gesture of listening intently.

"I suggest that the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court should not be arrested for crimes committed by some entrepreneurs on objective issues, and they should not be arrested if they can not be arrested!" Jerome Bonaparte told Rouet Said, "The private entrepreneurs of the French Empire are the backbone of the entire empire, and we must protect them!

It is not easy to cultivate an official, and it is even more difficult to cultivate a responsible and responsible enterprise!

We can't put a business in jail just because of our whims.

What if the business does not have the workers who work for the business?

If workers lose their jobs, our empire may not last long! "

Jerome Bonaparte tried his best to persuade the big rats present, but he knew too much about this group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals under his command.

They used their subordinates to register a leather bag company, and then used the rights in their hands to directly eat and wipe some of the original high-quality enterprises.

It would be fine if they were good at business, but the key point is that most of them are not good at business, and many high-quality assets in their hands are simply unscrupulous.

If they are allowed to annex recklessly, the Second Empire will sooner or later be completely reduced to crony capitalism.

"I understand!" Rue's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

As the Minister of Justice, he certainly understood what Jerome Bonaparte meant, so he had to assure Jerome Bonaparte that he would handle the entrepreneurial disputes carefully.

"Very good! I look forward to your performance!" Jerome Bonaparte gestured for the Minister of Justice, Rouet, to sit down.

Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte named Baroche, the Minister of Railways, and joked: "Baroche, you "Iron King", tell me about the situation of the Ministry of Railways!"

After hearing the name of Jerome Bonaparte, Baroche also inevitably showed a touch of embarrassment on his face.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, as of the end of December last year, the entire French railway has built a total of 9,000 kilometers of railway! The entire first-stage railway station in France (the railways of all major cities have basically been connected to itself) has been completed, and we are in the process of the first phase. The construction of the second phase (the construction of the secondary urban railway is already 30% complete)” Baroche responded to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"What about the railway bonds?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Baroche again.

"The railway bonds are generally in a good trend!" Baroche replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "Bankers at home and abroad are willing to buy the five companies under the Ministry of Railways (East, West, South, North and Central Railways) company) railway bonds!"

"Very good!" Jerome Bonaparte was also very satisfied.

Today, the speed of railway construction in France has been greatly accelerated compared with the history. Jerome Bonaparte believes that it will not take long for the French railway to reach the level of 1870.

By then, Jerome Bonaparte will have enough time to run in the army and the railway.

"The secondary railway of the Strasbourg-Nancy-Metz line must be repaired quickly, do you hear it clearly?" Jerome Bonaparte told Baroche again.

"Yes!" Basilo responded sternly.

The people present also knew why Jérôme Bonaparte put particular emphasis on the railway from Strasbourg to Metz.

Because this route is not afraid to come for profit from the beginning, it has a strategic significance that they Jerome Bonaparte would rather lose money to repair.

Once the Strasbourg rail network was fully constructed, France would be able to mobilize at a faster rate, smashing into the German heartland and smashing the kingdom of Prussia.

"Right! The Principality of Luxembourg, let the Orient Railway Company take care of it a little bit!" Jerome Bonaparte reminded again.

"Yes!" Baros had no choice but to nod in agreement.

After the Minister of Railways Baroche sat down, Jerome Bonaparte called the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce Dulles again and asked how the opening of the Dulles Agricultural College and the sending of agricultural students to the countryside were going on.

Dulles told Jérôme Bonaparte that the imperial government's persistent efforts had begun to bear fruit.

"Your Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce must increase its efforts to support the countryside. If you are short of money, you can directly ask Magnet, our chief financial officer. If Manie does not agree with you, you can come to me directly!" Jerome Bonaparte Half-jokingly, half-seriously, Dulles said: "In short, agriculture is the foundation of the French Empire's survival!

No matter how hard you are, you can't be **** the peasants! "

For the Second Empire, an alliance with the peasantry was essential.

Jerome Bonaparte's empire could only be strengthened with the help of the vast peasants spread over the whole of France.

The little bourgeois of the city are all a group of grasses falling with the wind, and only the peasants are the most solid allies of the Second Empire.

"I see! Your Majesty!" Dulles solemnly replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

After finishing the conversation with Dulles, Jerome Bonaparte turned his attention to the two "big money eaters".

It can be said that at least a small half of the finances of the French Empire also fell on these two heads.

That's right, they are Wayan, the Minister of War of the French Empire, and Dicko, the Minister of the Navy.

"Wayon, let you start first!" Jerome Bonaparte pointed to Wayon and said.

"Yes!" Wayon stood up and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

Subsequently, Wayon introduced to Jerome Bonaparte that the French Empire Army spent 500 million francs in 1855.

Except for Magnet, Fould and Jerome Bonaparte, everyone present was surprised that the French Empire Army fully spent one-fifth of the fiscal revenue of the route.

It was called Admiral Dicko, who could not help but envy the Army in his heart after hearing about such a huge expense.

If the 500 million francs can be fully used in the navy, he is confident to create an ocean-going fleet.

It is a pity that such a huge military expenditure can only be used in the army.

Seeing this, Wayan immediately explained to everyone present that the reason why the Army spent so much was mainly in three aspects.

The first is to build a military station. The Crimean War made the Army see the importance of railways and supplies. It has become a general trend to re-establish the military station during the Napoleonic Wars. Therefore, it is a huge expense for those who build a military station along the railway.

The second is the abolition of over-aged veterans. There are a large number of over-aged veterans in the French army. According to the order of the chief of staff, all these veterans will be abolished, and part of the money will be used to appease those veterans.

The third is the reserve system that is being established. These reserve forces are also big spenders.
