“The question of wheat is the most important and the most delicate for sovereigns. The owners never agree with the people. The first duty of the sovereign is to lean towards the people, without listening to the sophisms of the owners.”
— Napoleon Bonaparte in his letter to Eugène de Beauharnais, September 1810
French:
«La question des blés est la plus importante et la plus délicate pour les souverains. Les propriétaires ne sont jamais d’accord avec le peuple. Le premier devoir du souverain est de pencher pour le peuple, sans écouter les sophismes des propriétaires.»

Letter from Napoleon to his stepson, Eugène, concerning finances and expenses:
Paris 3 février 1806
Mon Fils, vous avez très mal arrangé vos affaires à Paris ; on me présente un compte de 1 500 000 francs pour votre maison ; cette somme est énorme. Messieurs Calmelet, Bataille et ce petit intendant que vous avez nommé sont des fripons ; et je vois qu'ils ont tout embarrassé de manière qu'il sera impossible de ne pas payer beaucoup.
Je vois cela avec peine ; je vous croyais plus d'ordre. On ne doit rien faire faire sans un devis, avec engagement de ne pas le dépasser. Vous avez fait tout le contraire ; l'architecte s'en est donné tant qu'il a voulu, et voilà des sommes immenses jetées dans la rivière. J'ai chargé Bessières de veiller lui-même à ces affaires.
Portez plus d'attention et de savoir que cela aux affaires de ma liste civile d'Italie ; les architectes sont partout les mêmes.
(Rough) Translation:
Paris 3 February 1806
My son, you have arranged your affairs very badly in Paris; I am presented with an account of 1,500,000 francs for your house; this amount is huge. Messrs. Calmelet, Bataille and this little steward you appointed are rascals; and I see that they have embarrassed everything in such a way that it will be impossible not to pay much.
I see this with difficulty; I thought you were more in order. Nothing must be done without an estimate, with a commitment not to exceed it. You did quite the opposite; the architect gave himself as much as he wanted, and here are huge sums thrown into the river. I have instructed Bessières to take care of these matters himself.
Pay more attention and know than this to the affairs of my civil list of Italy; architects are the same everywhere.
