I'm the Dauphin in France

Chapter 1027 A Different Path of Life (Top Recommended, Please Give Everything)
"What's wrong with the widow of the Bourdois family?" Leonor's tone was full of anger. "Roman should have listened to his uncle and went back to marry her immediately..."

The door of Leonor's house was pushed open and a suitcase was thrown out.

"He's over thirty years old, and he's still running away from home. If I let him stay any longer, Uncle Sapina will definitely come and kick my ass!"

Immediately afterwards, a thin man with a big head and a thin neck staggered out, picked up the suitcase, and looked towards the yard with helplessness and grievance.

Mrs. Leonore followed closely and whispered to comfort the thin man.

Then, Domi, the eldest son of the Leonor family, came out, but turned to the courtyard and said:

"Father, my uncle has the right to pursue love. Although Madame de Bourdois has some money, she is also famous for her rudeness and harshness..."

Leonor appeared in front of them and said unhappily:

"Seeking love? Ha, no wonder he came to our house..."

He caught a glimpse of his wife's expression, which was like a volcano about to erupt, and quickly swallowed the second half of his sentence.

Well, this Mr. Roman is Mrs. Leonor's cousin and pursued her when he was young. Although Leonor eventually won the beauty, he still felt a little bit upset about it.

Leonor turned to look at his eldest son: "Now that you are married, you need to occupy a room of your own. We don't have any extra space for him in our house..."

Domi immediately said, "Father, I am going to Paris next week, and Maria will go with me. When the time comes, you can let your uncle stay in my room."

Leonor frowned: "What are you doing in Paris?"

"Enrollment for the Ecole Militaire de Paris."

Leonor pointed at Roman and yelled at his wife, "Listen, listen! It's your cousin who keeps telling Domi nonsense about 'Administrative University' and 'Military Academy' and it's confusing him!
"Domi is the eldest son of the family, and now he is going to move to the provinces with his new wife! Who will inherit the Leonor family business in the future?!"

Domi patted his chest and said, "Father, you know, my dream is to be a tax collector. Then I can save those suffering families, just like our family did in the past..."

"Tax officer?" Leonor waved his hand. "You are just a farmer's son. You should stay at home and farm honestly. Don't think about becoming an official."

Duomi argued, “My uncle said that the government has a new regulation now. If you can graduate from a military academy with high scores, you will have the opportunity to be recommended to the University of Economics and Taxation, or apply to the University of Public Administration.

“Even if I can’t be a tax officer, I will join the Notary Investigation Bureau.

“As for inheriting the family business, just leave it to Mark.”

Mark is his second brother, who is 13 years old and is considered a young man in the countryside.

"You can't just shirk your responsibilities, brother." Mark curled his lips.

He was a very good student and always ranked among the top three in the village church school. He was determined to go to Paris to make a living in the future - this was also the life path chosen by most second sons in France.

He looked at his father again and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry. My brother can't even count to 10000. He definitely won't get the admission score and will be back next year."

Well, counting to 10000 in French is definitely not an easy task. You need to learn basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. This may be the reason why France always produces mathematicians.

"I can definitely do it!" Domi said unconvincedly, "I can ride a horse, that'll give me extra points!"

"No!" Leono used his father's authority, "You stay at home and don't go anywhere!" Domi stiffened his neck stubbornly, but did not dare to contradict his father again.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Rochefoucauld, who was standing not far away and watching the excitement. He immediately strode over and bowed earnestly:
"Mr. Rochefoucauld, you are from Paris, you must be well-informed, please judge for yourself..."

Leonor followed and saluted:

"Master, please tell this kid that it is God's will that the eldest son inherits the family business."

Roman whispered:

"Master, Duomi has a talent for learning, but he was delayed when he was young. He also has a strong sense of justice. We should let him try..."

"Shut up!" Leonor turned around and scolded, and then said to Rochefoucauld, "Master, my brother-in-law has been idle since he was young. He sows seeds on the land every year and never takes care of it. The harvest is less than half of my family's.

"All he did was go to church or Mr. Elvigne's house to borrow books, and he even insisted on going to Reims for college, but he was already in his 30s and had accomplished nothing, not even a wife.

“Now, he’s here to encourage Domi to be like him.

"Do you think I should give him a beating?"

Rochefoucauld suddenly felt a headache and secretly regretted that he should not have watched the excitement for even a moment longer. Now he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

In fact, he knew that this thin man was not necessarily idle, but even if he had excellent academic performance in the past, he would not have had the opportunity to go to school if his family had no money - let alone university, even the tuition for ordinary schools was not something that farmers could afford.

But the situation is different now. Children from poor families can go to military schools or police schools. Not only do they not have to pay tuition, they can even receive scholarships.

After graduation, those with good grades can go to university for further studies for free.

I heard that the government is also planning to establish industrial technical schools to train mid- and low-level technicians, which will also be a semi-free model for military academies.

There is even news that ordinary schools will also offer free tuition in the future.

Therefore, if Duomi has a strong learning ability, going to a big city now would be a good choice.

He thought for a moment and said to the angry Leonor:
"You see, now we have a steam pump, various industrial fertilizers, and a universal flying car, so you and your wife can take care of the land at home."

Domi added, "And there's a steam mill."

"Steam thresher." Mark replied immediately.

"That's right." Rochefoucauld nodded, "So, why don't you let your child see the world?
“If it really doesn’t work out, just let him come back and inherit the family business.

"In case there is any achievement, oh, do you know that Colonel Ney, the one who fought with General Moreau to the gates of Vienna, his family used to be coopers? After graduating from the Paris Police Academy, he became a colonel in just five years.

"Besides, even if you can't become an official, as long as you have a quick mind, you can do some business in Paris, or work as a technician, and you can earn as much as you earn in a year in two or three months."

Although Leonor found that the master from Paris spoke very convincingly, he still felt uneasy in his heart and wanted to argue a few words, but suddenly he saw a black carriage stopped at the door of his house.

A well-dressed young man got off the car, looked at everyone, and asked politely:
"Excuse me, is Mr. Roman Odorico Sapina here?"
