"Don't you have something to say to Mr. Argu? Mr. Argu is here, you can say whatever you want now!"
Jérôme Bonaparte spoke in a low voice, but it frightened the bankers.
The bankers present did not expect the emperor to appear in the mansion of the Count of Argoux. If they had known that the emperor was back, they would not have hit the gun at all.
Fortunately, the group of them has not yet discussed a strategy to deal with it, and the emperor has sent them an army ahead of time.
The originally bustling hall is now silent.
In front of Jerome Bonaparte, who symbolized the power of the empire, these bankers who claimed to be the spokespersons of France did not even dare to breathe.
Every second of time passed, and every second was a torture for the bankers in the hall.
Ten minutes later, Jerome Bonaparte, who saw that the bankers present were afraid to speak, sneered: "Speak! Why don't you say anything! You are stuck in the hall of M. Argoux, aren't you? In order for Mr. Argu to talk to you! Now that he has brought Mr. Argu, why don't you say anything!"
The bankers were silent, and no one dared to get in trouble at this time.
Jerome Bonaparte looked around and counted the number of people in the hall with his hands. There were exactly 30 people, no more or no less. Then he pointed to one of the bankers and said, "You... come out!"
Jerome Bonaparte was stunned for a while by the old man in his fingers, and then asked in a daze as if he had just woken up: "Your Majesty, did you let me over just now!"
"That's right! It's you! Monsieur Jordance Capafil!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said to him.
Jordans had no choice but to come to Jerome Bonaparte and bowed to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty!"
Jerome Bonaparte touched his chin, smiled with interest, and said, "Mr. Jordans! If my memory is correct, the relationship between you and the Count of Argoux should have been friends for many years. Bar!"
"That's right!" Jordans Capafelle nodded and replied to Jerome Bonaparte in a low voice.
"Since they are good friends, then why do you stay with them at Argoux's house and don't want to go!" Jerome Bonaparte reprimanded Jordans Capafil in a stern manner: "You can They are all famous people in Paris, and now they are learning the methods of the underclassmen in Paris!"
"I..." Jordance Capafelle smiled bitterly in his heart. In fact, he didn't want to do it either, but he couldn't help it when things developed to this point. He could only bite the bullet and face Jerome Bonaparte. He responded: "Actually, we just came here to comfort Count Argu and prevent him from having any accidents!"
"Just to see?" Although Jerome Bonaparte didn't believe the nonsense of Jordance Capafil at all, he still had to pretend that he was willing to believe him.
After all, it was impossible for Jerome Bonaparte to really capture them all.
The law does not blame the public in the group of bankers as well.
However, you can still try to knock the mountain and shake the tiger occasionally.
"That's right! We just came over to visit Count Argu! Now that Count Argu is all right, we can leave with confidence!" Since the emperor gave them the steps to go down, Jordans Kapafele naturally followed suit. go down.
"Okay! I'll assume that you are worried about your superiors and your friends that make such nonsense on a whim!" Jerome Bonaparte raised his voice and said, "Now you have also seen the Count of Argoux. It's safe and sound! Can you leave with confidence?"
As soon as Jerome Bonaparte's voice fell, the bankers in the hall expressed that seeing that Count Argoux was all right, they could leave with confidence!
Afterwards, the bankers in the hall left the mansion of Count Argu.
Only Jérôme Bonaparte, Count Argoux, and two teams of police were left at the scene.
"Your Majesty, we..." the sheriff said boldly to Jerome Bonaparte.
"I almost forgot, and you!" Jerome Nabal said to the sheriff with a smile on his face: "Go back and tell you, the chief, don't be blinded by money! Behind the money, there is probably an invisible person. Bottomless trap!"
"Yes! Yes! I will pass your Majesty's words to the chief!" The sheriff nodded and replied.
"You guys go back!!" Jerome Bonaparte said to the sheriff, bowing his relatives.
The two sheriffs and more than 20 police officers left the mansion of the Count of Argu as quickly as they received amnesty.
After the idlers left, Jerome Bonaparte asked Argoux, "Mr. Argoux, would you like to have a chat!"
"Your Majesty, please come in!" Count Argoux invited Jerome Bonaparte into the room, and then asked the servant to prepare dinner: "If you don't dislike it..."
"I just want to try it too. What is the difference between the dinner at the Tuileries Palace and the dinner at the Tuileries Palace!" Jerome Bonaparte said to the Count of Argoux with a smile on his face.
"I'm afraid it's far inferior to your dinner at the Tuileries Palace!" Count Argoux said softly.
"Not necessarily!" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged.
In fact, Jérôme Bonaparte usually prepares two recipes at the Tuileries Palace. One is the recipe for the arrival of a high-ranking official. It is far inferior to the style of the recipes prepared when entertaining others.
However, it is better to have a balanced diet.
Under the leadership of Count Argoux, Jerome Bonaparte entered the mansion.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat!" Count Argoux stretched out his hand and invited Jerome Bonaparte to sit down. He walked to the desk alone and took out two flints and a piece of oil-drying origami from the drawer.
After the sparks generated by the friction of the flints ignited the origami, Count Argoux opened the kerosene lamp shade on the desk, lit the wick of the kerosene lamp, and then closed the shade again and brought the kerosene lamp to Jerome Bona. in front of Ba.
"Your Majesty, the light here is a little dark! Please forgive me!" Count Argu apologized again.
"It's nothing!" Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand, then looked at the kerosene lamp in Count Argoux's hand and said half-jokingly: "I didn't expect you, a dignified director of the Bank of France, to use things that ordinary people use. !"
"Your Majesty, when I was still a child, my father often used my grandfather as an example to warn me to be frugal!" said Count Argoux, sitting opposite Jerome Bonaparte.
"Oh? Mr. Argoux, so your grandfather was a very frugal person?" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Count Argoux in surprise.
"Your Majesty, my grandfather is just an ordinary wine merchant in the army!" Count Argoux explained to Jerome Bonaparte: "Our family only got involved in the banking industry during my father's generation. The development is inseparable from my father!"
"So it is!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and said, "It seems that your family and the Baron Rothschild's family have roughly the same history!"
"Part of it is the same!" Count Argoux nodded, then changed the conversation and asked Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, you came to me on purpose, I'm afraid you didn't come to inquire about my family history, right? !"
Jerome Bonaparte certainly understood what Count Argoux meant. He nodded and responded to Count Argoux: "Magne has already told me everything! I don't want to investigate right or wrong, but I hope you can When the empire is in trouble, pull the empire!"
"Thank you for your generosity! I will hand over a portion of the gold to the Banque de France as a reserve!" Count Argoux thanked Jerome Bonaparte for his generosity.
The Count of Argoux privately ordered his bank to convert the sterling bonds in his hand into gold, which caused the panic of sterling to be considered a turning point for Jerome Bonaparte.
Then, Jerome Bonaparte asked Count Argoux what he thought about the bankers gathering in the hall just now.
"They want me to stand up against you!" Count Argoux said bluntly to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Then why don't you stand up! If I were in your position, I would definitely lead them to force the government to make concessions!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Count Argoux with great interest.
In fact, he was still expecting Count Argu to lead the bankers to fight against him, so he would have another reason to blackmail them.
The Count of Argoux responded in a flat tone: "I'm just a mediocre who is slightly luckier than others, and I don't want to be used as a gunman by them! Not to mention, there is no way to shake a stable government by relying on the strength of the Banque de France alone. Those guys may have already forgotten the horror of revolution!"
For the Count of Argoux, who had experienced two revolutions (1830, 1848), the revolution brought them far greater damage than they could gain.
No far-sighted banker dares to say that he will survive the next revolution, and doing what he can to maintain the stability of the existing system is the best outcome.
Even if Count Argoux was unhappy when he saw Jerome Bonaparte again, Count Argoux would still work hard for the survival of the empire after he was unhappy.
Revolution is like a blind box, you never know whether the next regime will be good or bad.
"Then Mr. Argoux, which of those people do you think can stand by me, and which of them are diehards!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Count Argoux.
"Your Majesty, no one is a diehard!" Count Argoux replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "They are just protecting their own interests! Once they think they can only suffer this knife, they will bite Stand with your teeth on the victor's side!"
"Conservative financial policy cannot protect their interests! On the contrary, it will damage the entire French economy!" Jerome Bonaparte emphasized.
"Your Majesty, this method of yours is just to delay the economy! Once the war is over, a large number of factories will be on the verge of bankruptcy!" Count Argoux said to Jerome Bonaparte.
What the Count of Argoux said was absolutely correct. What Jerome Bonaparte did was to prolong the crisis. Keynesianism is not to solve the economic crisis of capitalism, but to delay the emergence of the economic crisis of capitalism.
During this period, it will inevitably lead to the risk of high debt, and the rampant improvement of infrastructure and military-related industries is equivalent to tying all the French people to the war machine, just like Hitler after World War II.
It's just that Hitler did not have such good luck as Jerome Bonaparte. The upcoming second industrial revolution will give France a sigh of relief~www.novelhall.com~ and the Kingdom of Prussia will also become a relief for France. debt offering.
That's right! The Crimean War was not the end of the French military adventure, but the beginning of one.
It's just that the vast majority of French people have not seen this, and elite politicians like the Count of Argoux have only seen the tip of the iceberg.
If he had known the crazy plan that existed in Jerome Bonaparte's mind, he would have done anything to pull this madman down.
"It's undeniable! Large-scale credit is indeed a living thing, but we must persevere!" Jerome Bonaparte spread his hands and said helplessly: "From the moment we stepped into the battlefield in Crimea, we have There is no way out! Either the Empire is destroyed in the Paris riots caused by defeat, or the Empire wins respite from successive victories. If it were you, Mr. Argoux, what would you choose?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
