Blankey knew that it was unrealistic to demand a seat in the parliament now, and no one could hold another election for the workers like them!

Since there is no hope for a seat in the parliament, we must try our best to seek practical benefits. Anyway, these things were the first to be formulated by them.

At the end of the 19th century, especially before and after the Franco-Prussian War, the working-class life in France was extremely poor. Many literary works in later generations recorded the hardships of the lower-class people at that time, many of which were unimaginable to people in the 21st century.

For example, in the "Les Miserables" written by Victor Hugo, the heroine Fantine sold her hair for ten francs and two of her front teeth for forty francs.

When a maid was beaten, insulted, and even became a prostitute... These stories seemed fictional, but actually had prototypes in the society at that time.

According to the historical archives of the French police station compiled by later historians, many records describe in detail the chaos and poverty and hardship of Paris at that time.

‘The craftsmen on the Isle of Ciede moved away, leaving behind 15,000 unemployed vagrants. The bell tower of Notre Dame overlooks these low and chaotic buildings…’

‘The large number of marginal men and women survived by robbery, and they mingled in the dirt bars and brothels…’

‘The fifth area of ​​the left bank is full of countless hawkers selling scrap iron and cloth heads, while the San Marceau area in the suburbs has been plague for a long time…’

‘The fourteenth district adjacent to it, the rags lived with the leather maker, and the animal remains were thrown into Biyehanoi…’

An observer of a newspaper once wrote this passage: "The central and eastern parts of Paris have formed a Gothic city, dark, gloomy, full of urination and fervor, and prevalent fanaticism. It is a terrible breeding ground for light, disorder, violence, suffering and blood..."

"The terrifying neighborhoods and dirt houses are mixed in the stagnant pools and exudes a pungent and terrible smell. Paris is already an extremely unhealthy city, and more people die every year than newborns..."

"But due to the continuous influx of poor people from other provinces, there are obviously fewer and fewer newborns, but the size of the city is expanding day by day..."

Only one-fifth of the buildings have clean drinking water, and keeping warm in winter is a permanent problem. Even though the Ottomans carried out the largest urban beautification work, the painted cities still cannot hide the devil of poverty!

In this context, it is easy to imagine what the lives of ordinary people are like. Those workers who use their lives to follow Blankey are not soaked in the bitter water.

The suffering life has accumulated countless anger in the hearts of the people. When the Emperor was in power, these signs of anger were directly aimed at Napoleon III.

Now that the Emperor of the Dharma has fallen, the people's anger must be vented, and they must clearly see the improvement of their lives. If they cannot achieve this day, they may be able to divert their hatred and directly target the parliament represented by these capitalists.

The bills proposed by Blankey do not allow bargaining. If a National Self-Defense soldier can earn two francs or even one and a half a day, it will basically satisfy the food and drink of a family of three, and even have some money to buy coal for heating in winter.

But it’s just about maintaining food and clothing. If you want to save a little, you can’t think of it!

Previously, Empress Eugenie also ordered Trox, Montubang and others to formulate military pay for the National Self-Defense Force, but at that time, each soldier was only given 70 primaries per day. What was this money enough? (One franc is equal to one hundred primaries)

It was only half full to eat, so the National Self-Defense Forces at that time had long been trying to overthrow the rule of the Emperor of the Francisco, even for the sake of the whole family's food and clothing!

Blankey knew that this most important thing must be done today. If the new government cannot agree, then even if it is a stigma in the back of eternal infamy, it must launch a revolution today!

The world is vast and the food is the most important. The poor East District has malnourished children starving to death every day. Such an urgent need must be solved, and there is no room for bargaining in the face of life and death.

The proposal to increase income has caused great headaches for these members of parliament. If it is passed, the National Self-Defense Force alone will increase its expenditure by more than 400,000 francs every day.

This is just the beginning. If the Prussians come to the city, the money spent by the Self-Defense Forces once the army is expanded will be a considerable amount of money.

It sounds like a traumatic pain, but the most painful thing is the proposal that followed. No matter how much the president pays, it will eventually be the state's fiscal expenditure, but the proposal that followed is to directly cut off the meat of the rich people.

Pawns under thirty francs must be returned to the poor for free. What is this? Do you rob money directly from the pawn shop?

Who provoked who the pawn shop asked?

There is even a proposal that does not allow the eviction of tenants in renting houses? It is not allowed to raise prices, but it still needs to reduce prices by 30%. It is a robber!

These capitalists and parliamentarians all have industries in Paris. They may not directly invest in the pawnshop or real estate industry, but their relatives, friends or business partners are all related to these industries.

More fundamentally, those vote owners who support the parliamentarians are these small and medium-sized capitalists!

The parliament was completely infuriated, and everyone was condemning Blankey!

"Blacklist! You are using the national crisis to blackmail!"

"God is watching, such unreasonable proposals will never be passed!"

"The pawn shop doesn't owe you anything, why don't you give you money for free..."

"What house should I rent if I don't have money? Is there any reason to not pay?"

Faced with the chaotic criticism, Bronki was unafraid of his heart. "Gentlemen, no matter how you slander and insult you, this proposal must be passed today!"

"In the face of national crisis, everyone must contribute their own strength. The poor people have dedicated their lives. So are you rich people unwilling to give alms to money?"

"This is the country of everyone! Everyone must bear responsibility and obligation!"

Blankey licked his chapped lips and sneered, "Gentlemen, please remember forever that the war has arrived, aren't the poor people in the world who rushed forward to die in battle?"

"They don't even want their lives. Can't they get better treatment?"

"It's September now, and the weather is getting colder day by day. If the people's hearts are not calm, how can we spend this winter?"

"What valuable pawns are there for poor people? They are not clothes for wintering at home! The standard of thirty francs I set is just to let the people get their wintering clothes back..."

"There is also the reform of the rental system! Do you want these people to freeze to death? They are all dead, who will go to war?"

Blankey finally said coldly, "Gentlemen, I want to remind you that the poor who protect the empire are not only concentrated in the National Self-Defense Force..."

"You know, among the regular army, and among the new army corps temporarily formed in the south... the poor also account for the majority!"
