I Am the Crown Prince in France

Chapter 463 Industrial Development and Chart Statistics

Fouche was startled when he heard this, and then his eyes flashed with excitement, and he said with his hands: "Your Highness, this method is simply wonderful! I request that it be included in the training examples for spies."

Joseph smiled, waved his hand and said, "What I just mentioned is just the basic model of 'moral strike'. You can expand it yourself."

Many celebrities and big bosses in later generations were discredited by this simple and low-cost method. Many of them even proved their innocence in the end, but they were still greatly affected.

"Basic mode?" Fouche's eyes widened, "You mean it can be even more ruthless than this?"

"Yes." Joseph said casually, "You need to broaden your thinking.

"For example, let a good-looking man dress up as a lady to seduce Paulie, and then try to get Paulie drunk. The next step is the same as before. After he shouts indecency and summons the police and onlookers, then' Accidentally exposed my chest hair..."

Fouche was petrified. For the first time, he felt as pure as a little girl. This sinister and perverted world made him tremble.

Joseph saw his expression and realized that these methods seemed to affect his image too much. He coughed and said, "Ahem, um, actually I was inspired by the country stories told by those Austrian soldiers."

He didn't wait for the intelligence chief to react and continued hurriedly: "Also, what I want to say is that you cannot attack the separatist only from a moral level.

"After all, even if he is a morally corrupt leader, there will still be people willing to follow him."

Fouché thought: "What do you mean?"

"Interests." Joseph made a gesture of clenching his fist. "If everyone thinks that Poly will erode their interests and cooperate with his unspeakable morality, then he will be completely 'socially dead'!"

"Social death?" Fouche heard an unfamiliar word.

"Oh, it's the abbreviation of 'social death'." Joseph explained, "Although some people are alive, they are already dead in their social circle."

Fouche nodded thoughtfully: "I'll have to incorporate this into my spy training paradigm, too."

He looked at Joseph again: "Your Highness, then we will design some profit traps between Pauli and his organization members..."

After hearing what he said about the plan, Joseph immediately put forward suggestions for improvement based on some "saucy operations" of later generations.

The two discussed for nearly an hour and initially finalized a plan to deal with the leader of the Corsican Restorationist faction. Fouche then returned to the Intelligence Bureau to make specific arrangements. He kept thinking silently in his heart: Whoever he offends in the future must not offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The door of the living room was pushed open again, and the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Commerce walked in immediately.

The two of them bowed to Joseph, and Mirabeau first handed over the documents he was carrying with both hands.

Joseph glanced at the title of the document - "Overview of National Industrial Development in 1789", and immediately smiled and praised: "It only took you more than three months to sort out the industrial development of last year, and your work efficiency is excellent. "

In this era without Excel or even telegraph, it is definitely an extremely difficult project to compile the national industrial data.

Since there has never been any statistics on industrial data before, we can only use the analogy of statistics on agricultural data. The 1788 National Agricultural Survey took nine months to complete.

As a new aristocrat who was familiar with the capitalist production model, Mirabeau was much more efficient than the old aristocratic bureaucrats. Of course, this is also due to his usual attention to collecting and arranging files, so that he was able to complete last year's industrial report in such a short period of time.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. This is all my duty."

Mirabeau saw the Crown Prince starting to look through the documents and gave him a brief introduction: "Under the wise leadership of His Highness, the overall industrial scale of our country last year expanded to more than 140% of the original size.

"Especially the papermaking and machinery industries, the growth scale reached 3.5 times and 2.3 times."

Joseph nodded.

Papermaking is supported by wood pulp technology, so it is not surprising that such a huge growth has occurred. It is quite amazing that the United Steam Engine Company single-handedly raised the overall machinery industry so much.

However, he also knows that this is a brutal explosion in the early stages of the expansion of a new industry. As the industry continues to mature, the growth rate will gradually level off in the future.

Mirabeau glanced at the position Joseph saw and continued:

"Ah, the brewing industry, yes, although the scale of the brewing industry has only grown to 115% of its previous size, thanks to your new brewing technology, profits have increased by 2.3 times."

Joseph is quite satisfied with this number.

You know, winemaking is a pillar industry in France. It is already very large, and a 15% growth is already very impressive.

And with the help of pasteurization, French wine has almost monopolized the entire high-end market, and its profitability has been greatly improved. This alone contributes nearly 10 million francs more tax revenue to the French finance every year.

At the same time, Joseph saw in the report that, driven by wine, French beer has also begun to gain momentum. Since the second half of last year, Normandy beer has gradually spread in Germany and Italy. Previously, it was basically Dortmund. and markets in Bavaria.

Mirabeau continued to explain as Joseph turned the pages: "Several industries such as textiles, steel, and coal have also experienced good growth. In particular, we have invested heavily in these industries this year. Although we will face competition from the United Kingdom, Austria and other countries, I'm optimistic about where this year will go..."

Joseph finished flipping through "Industrial Development Overview" and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart - with his continuous efforts, French industry was developing rapidly, at least much better than the situation in history.

If this trend continues, within a few years, France's industrial production capacity will be comparable to that of the British.

Of course, the British still have huge advantages in markets and raw materials. After all, they have the largest number of colonies in the world.

Therefore, France's next main goal is to rely on the "Rhine-Seine Treaty" to enter the German market as much as possible and develop the North African market as soon as possible.

After all, for industrial development, the sales market is even more important than technology and scale.

Joseph looked at the dense data in the report and couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.

He rubbed the bridge of his nose, turned to the Minister of Industry and said: "Count Mirabeau, I have a more effective and intuitive way of writing this kind of data-form documents."

"Oh?" Mirabeau hurriedly leaned forward, "I hope His Highness can teach it to me."

Joseph took the paper, pen and ruler, and started drawing according to the data on the document. At the same time, he explained: "The vertical axis represents the output or amount, and the horizontal axis represents the month. Mark the output of each month on the corresponding points of the two axes. Then connect all the points with lines.”

He handed the drawn paper industry output chart to Mirabeau: "This is called a line chart."

He let Mirabeau digest it for a moment, then drew a circle on another piece of paper and marked the data: "This is a pie chart."

"This is a histogram..."

"This is a scatter plot..."

"There are also spider web diagrams..."

Joseph silently apologized to Laplace in his heart: In order to improve the efficiency of government work, I can only "spoiler" your chart statistics method in advance. Speaking of which, you are also French, so you should be able to understand me.
