Fox of France

v1 Chapter 337: , Publicity

For the second session of the Pakistan Fair, France built a railway from the Champ de Mars in the center of Paris to the Liberty Palace. This is the world's first passenger railway, and it is also an important step that Napoleon used to inspire people and promote personality cult.

At the last Pakistan Fair, the Palace of Wonders of Freedom shook the foreigners a lot, and made the little **** almost full of national pride. But compared to the railway, the shock of the Liberty Palace is actually much worse. In a sense, trains, especially steam trains spewing smoke and steam, are the most typical signs of the industrial age. Even until the high-speed rail era, the sense of indomitable power that old-fashioned steam locomotives brought to people was still incapable. Substitute. So even for later generations, there are countless fans of steam locomotives, and some travel routes even choose to use old-fashioned steam locomotives.

Now the railway has basically been laid, and the Pakistan Fair will be officially held in a month. Several brothers of the Bonaparte family gathered together to discuss how to make a show efficiently.

Napoleon originally planned to start the train at the official opening of the second session of the Pakistan Fair, but Lucien ridiculed his idea severely.

"Napoleon, you idiot!" Lucien was very proud of the opportunity to ridicule his second brother. "It's just like condemning a criminal to a gauntlet, requiring twenty lashes. You said you should stop for every two lashes. Let the criminal breathe and fight, or do you just leave it all in one breath?"

Napoleon froze for a moment, and then immediately understood what Lucien meant. If you take twenty whips in one breath, generally speaking, the guy who was beaten will pass out when he gets three or four whips, and he will not feel the whips behind him. Lucien said this now. He obviously meant that putting the opening of trains together with the opening of the second Pakistan Fair would give the people too much stimulation, and it would easily make them numb with excitement. Good subject matter was wasted in vain.

Napoleon knew in his heart that Lucien was indeed right in this matter, but looking at Lucien's triumphant appearance, Napoleon felt that he was out of breath and wanted to test it with Lucien. See if you hit twenty whips in a row, will there be a problem of excessive stimulation.

Seeing that Napoleon’s expression was wrong, Lucien immediately habitually opened the distance between Napoleon and Napoleon automatically, and immediately said: “So, Napoleon, I think we should keep these things a certain distance away, lest we get them. There is a problem that numbs everyone."

Lucien's words worked, and Napoleon's attention was really diverted. Of course, the actual situation may also be that Napoleon actually did not want to really jump up, and then made Joseph laugh at him for "incompetence and rage."

"Lucien, this consideration of yours is of course reasonable." Napoleon said, "but you have overlooked an important principle, that is, the most exciting program must not appear in the front. Because if the most exciting program is played At the front, no one has watched the show that appeared in the back."

"You're right!" Lucien first agreed, "It's like the most popular girl in the Moulin Rouge is always the last to appear. There is no doubt that the train is the most beautiful and most beautiful in our Pakistan Fair. Red girl, if you let her play in the first place, it is indeed easy to have problems that you worry about. However, our "Moulin Rouge" sometimes has another way to deal with it. For example, um, you have seen our singing and dancing. "Cinderella"?"

"No," Napoleon replied, "I am not like you. I live and work in the Moulin Rouge."

So Lucien told Napoleon the general plot of their "Cinderella".

"Ah, this story, I seem to have seen it, it seems to be the story of Charles Perrault, you have slightly changed it." Napoleon said, "Well, the point is."

"Ah, Nicole from the Moulin Rouge is the one who played'Cinderella' in our drama. That's a great beauty. But in the first act of the drama she was the first to appear, but because of the makeup and dressing, We made her not particularly prominent at the beginning. Until the pumpkin carriage appeared, through the changes in clothing and makeup, we suddenly made Nicole radiant and stabbed people almost unable to open their eyes.

Regarding trains, we can do the same. First of all, we will not perform any rituals, just use freight trains to run on this line. Freight trains are of course beautiful, but you can't get on the train, you can only watch from a distance. However, this is enough to set off a wave of enthusiasm.

Then, we can slowly release the news that we actually have passenger trains capable of carrying people, and speculate on them in various newspapers, discuss them, and stir up the heat. Well, we can also continue to push people's expectations of the train up through the sale of tickets, that is, the sale of tickets for the first passenger train. Then wait until..."

"Of course it's not bad, but Lucien, how do you plan to sell tickets?" Joseph, who hadn't said a word, just lowered his head and flipped through the students' research report, suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Of course it's an auction." Lucien said, "The first passenger train is full of the most luxurious carriages, and everything inside is the most luxurious. One carriage is a small villa. Then, one carriage is sold for one. Tickets, this ticket is sold by auction. We will arrange another childcare, and the price will be high, and the price will be high to ensure that it can attract everyone’s attention."

Joseph shook his head and said to Lucien: "Recently, our newspaper has reported on some British workers' strikes. The reports are very detailed. Well, Lucien, tell me, what is the purpose of such reports?"

"Of course it is to let the people in the country know how happy they are. Joseph, what you said, everyone is an insatiable Faust (the story of Faust and the devil's bet appeared very early, not Goethe original), our people are no exception. So no matter how capable we are, we cannot really satisfy them. If they are not satisfied, they will seek change, which is obviously not good for us.

You said again, Joseph, that happiness and unhappiness are compared. By the way, you said, why are the most respected dramas handed down in the world are basically tragedies? That's because people can get a sense of satisfaction and happiness through tragedy, by seeing the fall and destruction of those who are obviously stronger than themselves. This sense of satisfaction and happiness has nothing to do with jealousy or hatred, but just the feeling that you are in a good situation, at least better than those heroes.

We report on the painful lives of those British workers in dire straits. With this comparison, our workers are easily satisfied with their living conditions. This is conducive to domestic stability. "Lucien replied.

Indeed, happiness and satisfaction are often compared. Just like a certain plague in later generations, the little rabbits of the Chitu Kingdom were not satisfied with many of the country’s responses at first, but as the plague spread to Europe and the White Eagle’s house, I saw italia. Sister, you see all kinds of extinguishing operations, the bunny's satisfaction with the country almost immediately exploded.

The same is true in France today. In fact, France is not without class oppression at this time, and the life of the French people is not really good. However, as long as the British people are in dire straits, French workers naturally cherish the situation in France and are extremely grateful to the first ruling Napoleon.

"You are conducting auctions like this and you are reporting on this. Isn't this deliberately highlighting the gap between the rich and the poor in France? The pain is compared. The rich spend a lot of money just to play, and the money they spend on playing is just Enough for the poor to work hard for a few lifetimes. This will make people realize that the gap between the rich and the poor has reached a desperate level. Despair will produce resentment and reduce smiling faces. So, this approach of yours is entirely on your own Make trouble for yourself," Joseph said unceremoniously.

If Napoleon criticized himself in this way, Lucien would probably still have to find a way to refute it all at once, even if it is a strong word, then he must resist. But when Joseph said this, Lucien did not dare to say anything. It's strange to say that now ~lightnovelpub.net~ Joseph will no longer be troubled by touching an examination paper when he is okay. However, don't understand why, Lucien is still a little bit afraid of Big Brother.

"Then Joseph, what do you want to do?" Lucien asked sincerely. That sincere attitude made Napoleon very depressed. Why did this kid never be so obedient when he faced me?

"Of course it's an auction." Joseph said.

"Huh?..." Lucian said.

"We first publicize that the proceeds from this auction will be used to build a charity hospital in the Saint-Antoine district to help the poor in Paris. We call on those who are rich to give generously. Then, do you think about it?"

Lucien thought for a while, then gave a thumbs up and said in admiration: "It is indeed Joseph, there is a way! Well, on the one hand, there is a lot of enthusiasm for bidding. On the other hand, the workers will not feel that people just enjoy For a moment, the money spent is something we can't earn in a few lifetimes. They even feel that we rich people in France are better than those in Britain, and we don’t forget to give back to the society when we make money. Well, in this way, The heat has also increased, the stability has increased, and there are more smiling faces. This is really killing two birds with one stone, high! It is high!"
