"First of all, the front of the gold coin should not have my picture on it. This is the currency that will be sold to the whole of Europe, not the currency of France alone. If only my picture is printed, it will have a bad impact..."
Jerome Bonaparte slowly explained to Count Argoux why he let him.
And Count Argu gradually realized that his emperor not only wanted the gold content of a unified currency, but also had the ambition to issue a unified currency.
If the countries joining the European Monetary Union really agree with the new currency promoted by His Majesty the Emperor, then they are equivalent to handing over part of the right to issue currency to the French Empire in disguise.
However, Count Argu thought that the possibility was too small.
If His Majesty wants to implement a new monetary policy, Count Argou even suspects that the outcome of this monetary union will only end in an unhappy ending.
Therefore, Argu considered himself obliged to stop the emperor's rash behavior.
Therefore, the Count of Argoux euphemistically told Jerome Bonaparte that the French Empire had better not make a fuss about currency issuance.
"Count Argoux, you mean that I can't propose the concept of a new currency in the European Monetary Union!" Jerome Bonaparte questioned Count Argoux angrily.
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant!" Count Argoux denied it, and then humbly replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "According to my humble opinion, the best thing France should do now is to use the gold content of the currency. Re-establish prestige in front of European countries!
Wait until the time is right to set a new currency standard! "
"Mr. Argoux thinks that when is the time ripe!" Jerome Bonaparte retorted Count Argoux.
"Your Majesty, this minister is not very easy to say!" Count Argoux replied to Jerome Bonaparte, "However, this minister believes that the French Empire will be able to achieve this goal under your leadership!"
"Okay! I understand what you mean!" Jerome Bonaparte also realized that his goal of formulating a common European currency was somewhat unrealistic.
After all, the European Union in the previous life has gone through many twists and turns to truly achieve unified distribution. Now he has just embarked on the first step of European union and wants to issue unified distribution, which is simply an impossible thing to accomplish.
But as a monarch, where would he take the initiative to admit that he was wrong, and he could only end the topic by relying on the muddy method.
"Your Majesty, this minister is also for the sake of the empire!" Count Argoux lowered his stance and replied to Jerome Bonaparte.
"Yeah! I see!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Count Argoux with the same attitude: "However, I'm still not satisfied with this gold coin! The front side of the gold coin has been changed to a map of France, while the reverse side has been changed to a map of France. Complete the map of Europe!"
Count Argu had no choice but to nod, saying that he would definitely do as the emperor asked!
Afterwards, the study of Jerome Bonaparte where Count Argoux left.
Jerome Bonaparte sat quietly in the study, and whispered, "Am I a little too eager for quick success!"
Indeed, since the European Monetary Union has received responses from many countries, Jerome Bonaparte has been more hopeful that the European Union can be built as soon as possible. Some of the policies from the post-World War II period to the establishment of the European Union were formulated in advance, without taking into account that this era is nearly a hundred years away from the future.
Even the same policy implemented by the same country will become completely different because of different environments.
Just like the issue of unified currency issuance just now, if it wasn't for Count Argu's reminder, he almost made a big mistake.
"Any policy must be in accordance with the times!" Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but sigh, "You can't ask for a sword at any time!"
After finishing speaking, Jerome Bonaparte called Mocar and ordered him to go to the mansion of the Count of Argoux to send some gifts.
Although Count Argoux was rich, Jerome Bonaparte believed that Count Argoux would definitely be happier after seeing the gift he had given him than receiving a huge sum of money.
Because a gift is not only a gift, but also the attitude of Jerome Bonaparte.
Sure enough, after Mokar went to Count Argu's mansion to deliver a gift, Count Argu's face immediately burst into a smile.
"Mr. Mokar, please express my thanks to Your Majesty on my behalf!" Count Argu, while speaking, quietly gave Mokar a ticket.
"Count Argu, please rest assured that I will tell Your Majesty!" Mokar hurriedly assured Count Argu.
When Mocarre reported to Jerome Bonaparte, Mocarre reported the Count of Argoux's demeanor when he saw the gift.
Jerome Bonaparte listened quietly to Mocart's return, and silently estimated in his heart how much Mocart had charged Count Argoux.
From the point of view of Mocar's language, the Count of Argoux gave Mocar about 50,000 francs.
"Okay! I see!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded, then waved at Mocar and ordered him to leave.
…
For the next two days, Jerome Bonaparte received visitors from all over the world.
Soon it was time for the start of the European Monetary Union.
At 1:00 pm that day, a scorching sun shrouded the sky over Paris, and the whole Paris looked extraordinarily hot.
That is, in such hot weather, the representatives of various countries began to set off in horse-drawn carriages, and their destination was the Louvre Museum adjacent to the Tuinlery Palace.
At 1:30 pm, envoys from various countries arrived at the gate of the Louvre one after another.
The reporters of the major Paris newspapers who were in charge of squatting near the Louvre Museum directly acted in front of the representatives of various countries, which scared them enough.
On weekdays, I have only seen the representatives of the gentleman reporters except for the reporters in Paris during this period. Basically, they made an appointment and then interviewed individually. However, the reporters in Paris were influenced by some official newspapers. Zi also began to become "shameless" in order to compete for the first-hand news. I have never seen such a posture. Facing the questions from reporters one after another, some representatives showed embarrassment on their faces.
If it wasn't for the guards stationed near the Louvre, the delegates would never have entered the Louvre.
Looking at the representatives who entered the Louvre, the reporters had expressions of disappointment on their faces.
If the delegates didn't enter the Louvre, they had a hundred ways to block the delegates at the door.
At this moment, a young man appeared in front of the reporters, and he said loudly to the reporters present: "Reporters, reporters! Please be patient and don't be impatient. We promise that we will leave it to you after the meeting is over. Time for your interview!"
"Who are you?" The reporter looked at the young man who came out of the Louvre with a puzzled face.
"I'm a small clerk in the press office of the Emperor's secretarial office. My name is Rastigne!" Rastigne replied slowly to the reporters at the venue.
"Okay! Remember what you said!"
In the end, with the assurance of Rastigne, the reporter went to the cafe near the Louvre to wait for the end of the meeting.
After Rastigne returned to the Louvre, he was immediately encouraged by the director of the press office.
…
At 1:40 p.m., representatives of various countries gathered in the Louvre Hall, led by Mokar, came to the conference room on the second floor of the Louvre.
The overall style of the conference room is also the style of the imperial period. A round table with Turkish wool blankets is placed with 12 blue chairs.
"Deputies, please take a seat!" Mokar invited the representatives present to sit down, "His Majesty and Count Argu will be here soon!"
After hearing the name of Count Argu, everyone present was subconsciously stunned for a few seconds.
Count Argu appeared together with His Majesty the Emperor, which was something they didn't expect.
The time soon came to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and Jerome Bonaparte and the Count of Argoux appeared in the sight of representatives of various countries.
All the delegates stood up and paid tribute to Jerome Bonaparte. Jerome Bonaparte glanced at the delegates present and said with a smile: "Every delegate, this time I only brought a pair of ears!
All will be communicated by Mr. Argu with yours!
However, I'm going to say something ugly up front. Regardless of the outcome of this exchange, no quarrel is allowed!
Otherwise, I'm going to tell the guards to tell you to be expelled! "
"Yes!" Everyone present nodded.
Jerome Bonaparte glanced at Count Argoux, then glanced at the representative standing at the round table, and said solemnly: "Okay! You can start!"
Immediately afterwards, Algoubert walked in front of the delegates with strong steps, while Jerome Bonaparte sat on the throne that had already been arranged.
"Dear delegates, I am honored to be the host of the European Monetary Union and the representative of France this time..." Count Argoux thanked the delegates present in a gentle tone.
The delegates immediately applauded the opening of Count Argoux. After the applause lasted for a while, Count Argoux then told the representatives of various countries the glorious history of the Roman Empire and the single currency policy implemented during the Roman Empire.
Then, through the destruction of the Roman Empire, the theme of building a monetary union was extended.
"With the fall of the Roman Empire in Europe, the currency has also become diverse! A variety of currencies have affected the mutual trade and communication between countries, making Europe's economy an isolated island! This has greatly hindered the development of European people. Friendly exchanges, so the establishment of an all-European currency union has become a top priority!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"First of all, the front of the gold coin should not have my picture on it. This is the currency that will be sold to the whole of Europe, not the currency of France alone. If only my picture is printed, it will have a bad impact..."
