Morney was extremely excited when he listened to Jerome Bonaparte's drawing of the railway blueprint for him.

Of course, he was not excited by the railway itself, but by the rolling interest behind the railway.

Not to mention anything else, just to "define some qualified companies", what kind of companies are qualified to issue stock and debt, the twists and turns in this can be said for many days.

Not to mention that the guidance and procurement of the road and bridge troops to private companies is not a small amount, and there are also many ways to deal with safety performance issues.

Morney, who was in the same boat, immediately thought of the follow-up, and he blurted out: "Follow-up public maintenance is also a lot of expenses, and the Ministry of Public Works is obliged to inject funds for the follow-up public maintenance!"

"That's right!" Looking at Morny, who was gradually on the "right track", Jerome Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction: "The Railway Commission can issue creditor's rights at the right time to serve as public maintenance funds, which is very important for a financially stable country. For example, a little debt problem is more conducive to the operation of the government.”

Jerome Bonaparte gave an example: "I once heard a joke that if you owe the bank 1,000 francs, the bank will force you to pay it back. If you owe the bank 10 million francs, the bank will treat you as a The same as the uncle."

"That's right!" The huge interests have made Molney completely forget the negative railway remarks he just made. He just wants to quickly establish a railway committee and then make some "contributions" to the country as much as possible.

"Mr. Morney, I hope you can write a report on the proposal for the formation of the railway committee and send it to Prime Minister Barrow!"

Jerome Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction, he retracted his hand on the table, shrank his upper body back, took a relaxed posture, and then raised his hand to press on his temples to relieve mental pressure.

"Will Barrow really approve this plan? Now he is worried about France's finances!" Morney frowned, he was a little uncertain about Barrow's attitude.

"Politics is politics, and business is business!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Morniy in a peculiar tone: "Besides, building railways is politically correct! We are here for the stability of France. Meek people become thugs in the face of unemployment!"

"That's right! It's all for France!" Morney responded impassively. At this moment, he seemed to have become a noble person, a person who asked for the life of the people, and a person who gave up his life. .

If you look closely, you will find the greed in Molney's eyes.

How can a guy who is full of greed become a truly noble person?

"Okay! It's time for me to get off work! You can discuss the relevant legal provisions with our Minister Rouet! We must avoid the unfavorable provisions as much as possible!" Jerome Bonaparte got up and stretched out He turned his body and waved his hand to indicate that Morney and Eugène Rouet left.

Rouet and Morny, who were holding top hats, looked at each other, got up and bowed to Jerome Bonaparte, then turned and left together.

When the two were about to leave, Jerome Bonaparte suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute!"

Eugène Rouet and Morne turned to look at Jerome Bonaparte, Eugène Rouet said, "Your Majesty, what other orders do you have!"

"After the railway commission's plan is finalized! Don't hand it over to Prime Minister Barrow. Prime Minister Barrow is now preparing for the "restoration of the salt tax"!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to the two.

"Yes!"

The two left the study at the Elysee Palace, and there was only Jerome Bonaparte alone in the study.

It was already 3:40 in the afternoon, and it was already dusk outside the window.

Ling Lie's cold wind mercilessly beat the glass windows of the Elysee Palace, making a crackling sound. A few snowflakes fell from the clouds to the ground of Paris. The real winter is coming at this moment.

After a while, night fell quietly, and as the night fell, the snow became heavier and heavier, and the snow particles turned into snow flakes and fell all over the sky, gently falling on the roof of the Elysee Palace like a goose feather, and sticking to the study. on the glass window.

Carrying a kerosene lamp, Persini cautiously opened the door of the study. The faint kerosene lamp recalled the wandering Jerome Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty, it's snowing!" Pesini, who placed the kerosene lamp beside the desk, reminded in a low voice.

"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte turned to glance at the window lattice behind him, and nodded: "Yes! It's snowing!"

……

The snow fell on and off for several days, and the whole of Paris was shrouded in white.

Wealthy families put on heavy padded clothes and talk about the past and the present around the charcoal-burning fireplace.

The poor people cuddle together and use each other's body heat to warm each other.

Although Paris was exceptionally cold this year, the atmosphere in the National Assembly Hall at the Palais Bourbon was exceptionally anxious~www.novelhall.com~ Since January 15, Prime Minister Barrow submitted to the National Assembly about " Following the proposal to restore the salt tax, there was not a day in the following days that the National Assembly did not close in a rowdy environment.

Even though Marast, the speaker, has repeatedly stressed that the National Assembly should remain silent, no political party is willing to follow his arrangement.

For the republicans, Prime Minister Barrow, who took the "restoration of the salt tax" as the first step in the administration of the cabinet, is simply a good target. They, who occupy a certain proportion in the National Assembly, can use this opportunity to unite to achieve two birds with one stone - both Can take this opportunity to overthrow the cabinet, and can use it to play the role of protecting the interests of the peasants to attack the person chosen by the peasants. (referring to President Jerome Bonaparte)

The restoration of the salt tax was unsurprisingly rejected by the Republicans and the Mountain Party in the National Assembly.

At the same time, the Republicans in the National Assembly and the members of the Montana Constituent Committee cast a "no-confidence" against Barrow in a silent manner, and the Party of Order, which has not yet held a majority in the National Assembly, was also unable to help Odilon Barrow. .

[Constitutional Committee: After the June Revolution, a small number of members of the National Assembly were elected to the organization that wrote the constitution, and most of them were members of the republican faction. 】

If Barrow does not fight back, he will be ousted by the National Assembly from the position of Prime Minister he has just held for less than a month.

January 15, 1849.

Unable to bear, Barrow went to the Elysee Palace and, under the leadership of Pessini, found Jerome Bonaparte, who was listening to the veterans telling the story of the Emperor and Empress Joseph at Fort Malmaison, and said murderously: "Mr. President, I request Ban the club, suspend the functions of the city government, and disband the Rangers!"
