Edicts on Louisiana Company and state finances in France

The French Edicts describe creating a trading company for Louisiana and Canada with exclusive rights for 25 years, funding via state bills converted to annuities at 4 percent. The plan allows land, ports, forts, and military power under the Crown, with shares purchasable by foreigners and locals. The annuities begin next January, paid quarterly, funded by farm revenues and notary collections.
