C3238 An aggressive and deadly attack

If it was said that the pawnshop had destroyed the jobs of the common people, then the various small loans made by the France's banks had destroyed all the economic foundations of the country.

In the end, money was needed to support all the businesses in the world. You could say that money was evil, but money was a necessary means to the exchange of human goods.

Are you an artist who views money like dirt? Yes, but you also need goods to satisfy your artistic creations. Even ink has to be bought with money!

Even if you reduce your standard of living to a minimum, and you eat black bread with salt every day, the bread and salt will have to be bought.

The same holds true for the great commune, which wants to break the capitalist fanaticism of the world over money and crush the gap between the rich and the poor, but it takes money to pave the way for any cause.

Any operation requires funds, without money, where would the Arms and ammunition come from? Where did the food for the soldiers come from? How could he bribe the enemy's spies?

Everything required money, and Blanqui and the others were not experts in finance. Otherwise, they would have become big capitalists themselves.

The donation from the poor, as well as the support from the progressive wealthy merchants, including the help of the foreign proletariat!

And one more thing, it was an all-pervasive scam! Yes, these people are also defrauding loans, and they're taking advantage of the French microloans.

The leaders of the commune knew that plundering was not a long term solution with the aid of donations or force.

So what? Then France, the usurping imperialist country, could make it! London's bearded man has always described France as a usurpative country.

It had become a cultural tradition for the France to lend to the rich, and almost all the rich liked to enter this industry.

Furthermore, no matter how big the bank was, they would not turn their back on petty cash or profit! Even if the fly leg was only a small profit, he would not mind.

Just like Thiers's first decree, the first thing to do was to have the French public pawnshops begin to collect the funds. There are public pawnshops in France!

It was humiliating enough for the government to run the pawnshop, but this public pawnshop was also doing business for the poorest citizens.

Shouldn't the big government-invested pawnshops be big business? One would think that such a large background of business would require hundreds of thousands of francs, or even millions of francs, in order to conduct such a large business.

But reality is just so funny, the government acts of pawnshop, also accept the common people's tattered coat, scissors, kitchen knife... This kind of small business with only a few francs would be handled the same way!

One could imagine, if they did not even let go of the pawnshop's business, then how could Imperial Bank and other commercial banks let go of the business of small loans?

In what era, many small workshops, such as bakeries, butcher's shops, sausage stalls, grocery stores... These small businesses were also used for small loans, which usually amounted to a few hundred francs, rarely exceeding a thousand.

Although the individual sum was small and the interest was not high, but there were still many people. If one didn't eat a full plate of rice, one could at least eat a full meal!

It was because of France's bank's easy lending that these Community Leader discovered their source of wealth!

Develop loyal members and invest in small businesses such as leather, low-grade wine, restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores... They were all small businesses that had a lot of running water and could be hidden in the streets or alleyways.

By taking advantage of these small businesses and forgery of the accounts, he could cheat and borrow money. As long as he could take away the interest, he would be able to continue playing this scam for a long time.

What the Imperial Bank needs is the interest on your loans, and what these people are after are the capital for your loans!

Just like that, Workers' Movement obtained a very stable source of wealth. Although it was not comparable to those big capitalists, it was still better than nothing.

Thiers was indeed sinister, with a glance, he immediately noticed this loophole. He ordered for four months to be spent taking back all the small loans, as this was the basis for digging out the commune's finances.

Wa Erlan, Du Waer, Li Gao... When the leaders of the commune sensed the smell of death, a terrifying shadow began to descend upon them.

The situation changed three times a day. Two days later, Thiers made his move yet again, the direct blow was the rental industry, he had abolished all the benefits of the previous Interim Government.

End the order to delay the payment of rent, no one can use any excuse to pay rent arrears!

Abolish the residential protection for the household, the landlord of the household who is in arrears with the rent has the right to expel!

These were two very important measures of protection for the people. The poor people in Paris were the true proletariat. They had no house at all, and could only rent a house!

The war had damaged the economy of Paris, left the masses unemployed, and all the factory owners without income!

Under this kind of huge background, they encountered an extremely cold winter. In order to stabilize the people in the Interim Defence Government, they could only order their landlords to not expel their lodgers, even if they owed you rent!

This time, Thiers immediately abolished this rule. He wanted to smash the poor people's rice bowls and chase them out to the streets to enjoy the cold wind!

"Protest!" We want to protest! This is tyranny, this is evil … Thiers was a murderer! He's not the President... "

Hundreds of thousands of angry Parisians took to the streets to demonstrate, and that was all they could do. Outside the walls were the German army and the daily increase of the French new army.

They did not dare to take the initiative to attack, so they could only protest and express their dissatisfaction!

On that day, a total of five hundred thousand citizens filled the streets and alleys of Paris. Under the vigilance of the German's cannon, these citizens fiercely protested against their President!

"Thiers is the illegal President … Bordeaux is invalid... "

"Release Blanqui... Re-election... "

"All the proletarians of the world are united! "Fight the enemy!"

"Long live the people! Long live the Revolution! "

Xiao Letian stood on top of the Shabelle Sect walls and used his binoculars to look at the berserk scene in front of him.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk …" How spectacular … France is really a protest race! "
