 Louis forced the legislation through the Paris parlement with a "lit de justice", but continued opposition in the provinces led him to give way and dismiss Bertin, replacing him with Clément Charles François de Laverdy, a judge of the Paris Parlement.Although Laverdy allowed the extension of the second "vingtième", he ensured it would be on the old property assessments, meaning it would not increase over time with the national income.Although some improvements in the assessments were managed under the radical reforming administration of Maupeou and Terray, the taxes remained inefficient.
