King's Landing in France

"Our answer to this is, no! Absolutely! The third level can vote, but definitely not the entire third level has only one vote! Our goal is according to the actual number of representatives, one person, one vote!"

An Ning stretched her head, wanting to see if she recognized the speaker today.

But unfortunately, today is a new face.

The three-level parliament has been the focus of attention of all the newspapers in Paris recently. Countless newspapers are attacking the old system of the three-level parliament: each of the three levels has only one vote, so that as long as the king has the support of nobles and priests, the third The representatives of the estates were all against it, and the tax increase bill would pass.

It's a pity that Louis XVI was too naive. He didn't realize that many of the priests of the first level and nobles of the second level had been deeply influenced by the enlightenment thought and had fallen to the third level.

While thinking about this, An Ning listened to the speech of the gentleman below.

However, unfortunately, this gentleman's opinion seems to be still in the fight for one person, one vote, and then prevent the king from passing the tax increase bill.

So An Ning leaned on the window and booed full of anger: "Shh! Look who this is! Your ideas are so superficial! Are we satisfied with stopping the king's attempt to increase taxes?

"No! We have higher demands! We want a constitutional monarchy, we want a constitution!"

The person downstairs immediately retorted: "His Majesty the King will not agree, he will not allow us to pass the constitution!"

An Ning: "Why should he allow it? No, no, we are representatives, not the king's subjects! The people demand a constitution, and we have the right to formulate it! And let him pass it!

"We want to pass a constitution that will bring the spirit of liberty, equality and fraternity to this country!"

"Well said!" Someone downstairs applauded An Ning loudly. An Ning thought she had won over a passer-by, but it turned out that it was Dandong.

An Ning: "What wind brought you here?"

Dandong took out a letter and waved it at An Ning.

An Ning: "Come on, I'll open the door for you."

The maid was not at home, so An Ning could only open the door by herself.

After a while, Dandong entered An Ning's study room. He looked around and exclaimed, "Your den is well organized."

An Ning smiled and said, "Because my maid is very tasteful."

Dandong: "I can tell. Your maid is beautiful and full of intelligence. She is more like a daughter than those young ladies."

An Ning: "That's because you didn't see her muscles. When she was preparing the bath water for me, she could bring two buckets of water up from the first floor at once. It was very scary. So what was that letter just now?"

Dandong threw the letter just now on Anning's desk.

An Ning picked it up and saw that the postmark came from Arras.

An Ning: "Robespierre?"

"Yes, he was also elected representative, and was on his way to Paris when he wrote to us."

An Ning nodded: "Well, I guessed it."

In fact, I didn't guess it, I read the strategy in advance.

Danton: "Now we're together in Paris again, I'm thinking, when Maximilian arrives in Paris, let's find a place to have a good meal..."

An Ning suddenly said, "I don't know if he is still wearing his green coat."

Dandong frowned: "Should...not so, he became a judge and his salary is good."

Yes, lawyers in this era can also serve as judges or prosecutors at the same time.

After all, the later court trial system is still in its infancy, and no strict regulations have been formed. It is common for everyone to play tricks on each other.

Danton: "By the way, do you know about the lightning rod case?"

An Ning: "Is it the one who wanted to install a lightning rod but was complained by the neighbor?"

"That's right, that's the one. Maximilian actually defended someone who installed a lightning rod. Heck, that thing is unreliable at first glance."

An Ning: "No, as far as I know, it's quite reliable. When I was in my hometown, I witnessed lightning strike the wind direction chicken on the roof more than once. I think there must be some scientific principle. This process can also be reproduced by replacing the windshield chicken with a lightning rod."

Danton raised his eyebrows: "Really? Well, Maximilian did win the case, but I would never install that kind of iron pin on my roof, don't you think it looks like installing a needle on the roof?" A nail pointing to the sky? What if one day God pricks his feet while walking?"

An Ning laughed out loud.

Danton changed the subject: "Andy, are you really going to ask for a constitution at the meeting?"

An Ning: "Even if I don't mention it, someone else will, such as Mr. Sieyès. He claims that the third level is everything."

"Do you think Louis... I mean His Majesty would agree?"

An Ning: "He won't, definitely not. No one will be taken away willingly. But what does that matter? Many things are independent of the locksmith's will."

Dandong looked at An Ning: "My God, you are the most determined and radical among us."

Wait a moment!I am not!I want to ride the wall!

Shit, because I've read the script, I can't help but speak in this convincing tone when I speak.

I really just read the script subconsciously and that's it!

I am ready to ride the wall!

While An Ning was reflecting on what he had done, Dandong stood up, went to the window, and looked at the bloody setting sun outside.

"You know what, Andy, I always feel like something big is coming, very, very big! I can feel it. I don't know what it is, but it's definitely coming this way."

An Ning: "Me too. A storm is coming."

Chapter 057

In the next half month, representatives from various places in France arrived in Paris one after another.

However, the transportation in this era is in a very delicate state. If you travel day and night and change horses constantly at the post station, it will not take a few days to travel from the farthest corner of France to Paris.

But here lies the problem, not every representative is in such a hurry.

Especially for some old nobles, they spend a lot of time preparing their outfits for coming to Paris.

Taking into account the situation of these representatives, the convening time of the three-level parliament was set in three months.

An Ning observed for a few days and found that this was a fatal mistake for the King of France, because he gave the representatives of the third level time to connect with each other.

The Brittany Club is crowded with people these days, and the people they see are different every day. The representatives of the third level are wandering between various clubs, exchanging opinions fiercely.

In the future headquarters of the Jacobin Club, An Ning met the representative figures of the Royalist Party, the Pei Yang Party, and the Girondists. future.

An Ning himself also ran to the future Girondists' territory to get close to them, and there he saw Mably's nephew, a young man who inherited Mably's mantle and preached socialism in its infancy in the club.

Paris at this time is a melting pot, where all thoughts about the future of France are gathered here, and people are arguing passionately about where France should be taken.

Then An Ning discovered that no one thought of the road that the trousers would force France on in the future.

At this time, almost everyone—regardless of their opinions and doctrines—believes that the future of France will be a constitutional monarchy.

In other words, for France at this time, revolution is also an unimagined path.

An Ning's restless soul as a P agency game player is ready to move again.

If he could click on the national policy at this time, he would definitely click on the button called "Unimagined Road".

However, it is a pity that An Ning does not have such a powerful system. His system can only make him a super soldier on the battlefield, and by the way act as a "translator konjac" (a famous prop of Doraemon).

One day in April, An Ning was at home reading the morning papers bought by Fanny—well, not all the morning papers, but also yesterday’s evening papers, anyway, Fanny would buy all the newspapers that were not in Anning’s study every morning—with Peaceful officer allowance.

Suddenly, Mara's voice came from outside the house: "Andy! It's not good! Something serious happened!"

Andy stood up suspiciously, opened the window and looked out: "What's wrong?"

Marat: "Didn't you say that a hungry people is like a powder keg? Blast it!"

An Ning was shocked: "What? I didn't hear the gunfire?"

He also thought that the storming of the Bastille had happened earlier.

However, the Bastille is a fortress at any rate, and it is difficult to conquer without cannon.

Mara was taken aback by An Ning's reaction: "What gunfire? What are you talking about?"

An Ning: "Uh... so the Bastille is still alright?"

"What are you talking about?" Mara frowned, and her already ugly face became even uglier. "It's indeed the Bastille!"

An Ning was shocked: "Really? The prison was captured?"

I still want to check in!Return my punch card!

"No, there was a riot in the suburb of Saint-Antoine, next to the prison."

An Ning: "Ah? What the hell?"

But after knowing that the Bastille was not captured, An Ning was slightly relieved.

Mara continued: "I don't know the details. It seems that the owner of a wallpaper factory refused to give the workers a raise, and then the workers rioted!"

An Ning remembered that this boss was also a celebrity, and he had a famous saying: "No worker is worth 15 sous!"

Now I can't even buy half a baguette for 15 sous. The boss is also looking for death. At this time, he has to fight with the workers. The result is that he can only choose a street lamp style that he likes.

Today should be just a prelude. After the news spread, more angry workers stormed the boss's residence and ransacked everything he owned.

An Ning immediately decided to get dressed and go to the scene to watch the excitement.

This is the prologue of the French Revolution!How can this not be a card?

An Ning had forgotten about this. After all, it has been nine years, and the time is a bit long, otherwise he would definitely check in from the very beginning to witness the whole process.

An Ning's current state of mind is completely the state of mind of going to a theme park. Anyway, with the blessing of plug-ins, he is more difficult to die, so as a history enthusiast and player of Paradox, of course he has to check in for such things.

Mara was still urging outside: "Hurry up! We have to rush to the scene to report as soon as possible. This matter is destined to become the front page of my newspaper."

While An Ning was getting dressed, Fanny came in with two suits of formal coats: "Are you going in military uniform or casual clothes?"

An Ning thought about it, and felt that during this kind of riot, wearing a military uniform and ostentatiously passing through the city seemed not very good, and it was easy to become a target of fire.

An Ning: "Thank you in casual clothes."

Immediately, Fanny hung the military uniform on the clothes rack next to her, and hurriedly began to help An Ning put on her casual clothes.

Ten minutes later, An Ning got fully dressed and went downstairs. Ma Ma had already hired a carriage.

"Quick! Let's go!"

An Ning got into the carriage and sat opposite the horse.

Mala immediately knocked on the front window of the carriage to tell the groom to leave quickly.

The carriage started, An Ning looked out the window and saw Fanny standing by the side of the road watching him leave.

Mara: "The maid that the Duke gave you is really polite, and even watched you leave."

An Ning: "So how do you know something happened in the St. Antoine district? You don't live there, do you?"

"Of course, the law and order over there is a little bit bad." Mara shook his ugly head that resembled a certain horse boss, "I have my own news channel! Guess what it is?"

An Ning: "I guess it's a newsboy selling newspapers."

Mara looked shocked: "How do you know?"

An Ning: "It's a very simple logical reasoning. You are a reporter now and you need first-hand news from all over the world. No one is more familiar with everything in this city than the newsboys walking around the streets. You just need to tell the children and bring the latest news. You can get five sous for first-hand information, and they will keep bringing you the latest news.”

After An Ning finished speaking, he showed a smug expression, as if all the great ideas just now came from his brain, but in fact it was not, he just used Holmes' words.

In the stories of Sherlock Holmes, he often used newsboys and other younger children on the street to gather intelligence. Later, this became the iconic practice of British detectives, and almost every great detective created by British writers used this trick.

It is said that this routine also indirectly inspired Gosho Aoyama to draw the famous Detective Conan—a story with the children around the detective as the main characters.

Mara looked at An Ning in surprise: "It's absolutely right! My God, you are smarter than I thought. You are indeed a genius who went to Brienne and learned the language of the whole of Europe."

Yes, now An Ning told her friends that her Italian, Spanish and Latin were all taught by a priest at the Brienne Military Academy.

An Ning had a premonition. He felt that the Brienne Military Academy would sooner or later become as omnipotent as Hawaii in Conan in his own story.

In the future, what new skills An Ning showed shocked everyone, and they could all be said to be "learned at the Brienne Military Academy".

While An Ning was chatting with Mara, the carriage was speeding through the streets of Paris.

Suddenly, the coachman shouted: "Woo!"

An Ning looked out the window suspiciously, only to see a team of Paris policemen entering along the street.

Marat was also looking out. "The police are out...damn, how did they come out so fast?"

An Ning: "Perhaps the three-level parliament is about to be held, and the nerves of the Paris police are tense."

At this time, a policeman came over and said to the driver of the carriage: "Driver! Tell the gentlemen inside that St. Antoine is not suitable for outings today."
