"Young man, if you are for this matter, I think you can go back, there are countless people waiting for the Marquis to give medicine outside the Trianon, and it is impossible for the Marquis to meet your request, because there are not so many medicines to give!"

Butler Franz still maintains his impeccable manners, but this gesture is definitely more uncomfortable than cynicism!

But he is indeed right, Ye Kai can't just give berberine away, because he can't afford it at all, and the shareholders of the King Pharmaceutical Factory will never allow him to do this.

"Sir, I'm not asking for alms, I'll pay for it! What charity I never needed! ”

The young Napoleon blushed, he was only seventeen years old now, and he was not yet the emperor under the might, nor was he such a big city, and the word charity stabbed him deeply.

Napoleon's life was not easy these years, he was still only an artillery second lieutenant, and with that pitiful salary, he could barely support himself.

Not to mention since father Carlo. After Bonaparte died of stomach cancer last year, Napoleon had to squeeze out a portion of his salary each month to support his family.

To know his most brother Jérôme. Bonaparte was not yet two years old, and he was separated from Jérôme by five younger siblings. If Bonaparte had struggled to hold on, he would have collapsed long ago.

Although his father Carlo. Bonaparte came from an aristocratic family, and after the annexation of Corsica to France, King Louis XVI recognized Carlo's nobility and appointed him as the representative of the people in Corsica.

In this way, Carlo received a royal bounty of 4,000 livres per year from the king, as well as a silver coin equivalent of 1,000 livres from the French government as a salary for the representatives of the people.

But Carlo, who has extremely poor financial skills. Bonaparte soon lost the money on various investments, and when he died of stomach cancer, he could not even afford to buy painkillers containing opium to relieve his pain.

The same thing he left to the family, in addition to a few worthless titles, was a large debt.

"Buy? Young Mr. Lieutenant, do you know what the price of berberine hydrochloride is now? I don't think your salary is enough to pay it, and the current production is not enough to even provide to the kings and grand dukes, and there is no surplus to sell! ”

After Franci finished housekeeping, he wanted to let the royal guards soldiers in the palace drive Napoleon away, don't look at him in front of Ye Kai with a humble appearance, that's just because of Queen Mary's relationship, he doesn't have such a good attitude towards an artillery lieutenant!

"Mr. Franz, please wait." Ye Kai spoke out to stop Franz's butler, and the emperor had already felt enough social indifference, and it was time for him to take action.

"Out of respect for the heroic defenders of the country, Mr. Buwanaba, please come in with me, and if your request is reasonable, I will agree!"

After Ye Kai said to Franz's housekeeper again: "Mr. Franz, please let him in, I think I can help one is one, this is the embodiment of Queen Mary's kindness!" ”

Butler Franz hesitated for a moment, then changed to a standard smile, "Okay, Lord Marquis!" ”

"Ahh Well, thank you so much, Venerable Marquis Zinedin! Napoleon was also stunned.

In fact, he didn't have much hope, but he chose to come here for help because he had no choice, but he didn't expect this Marquis of Seris to agree!

Although everything in Paris made the adolescent emperor feel very uncomfortable, although he is still a somewhat angry middle two angry young man, this Napoleon who does not know how good he will be in the future. Bonaparte, still felt a trace of respect and warmth from Ye Kai.

。。。。

"Sir, I never thought that snails could be so delicious, it's just beyond imagination, there are so many of them in Corsica, and no one noticed that they are so delicious!"

Napoleon held a fork and a snail, and a trace of youthful excitement finally appeared on the serious face of the young man.

"Haha! You are mistaken, Mr. Ensign, for the reason why this snail is so delicious is entirely because of Zinedin, who is the only one who can make the snails that are common everywhere so delicious!

Your salary is really high, even His Majesty the King, since that dinner, I haven't eaten the dishes made by Zinedin's own hands, of course I can eat it often, but you are the only second person who can eat it! ”

Queen Mary looked at Ye Kai and chuckled, her eyes were shining, although at the beginning she was quite incomprehensible and unhappy that Ye Kai invited Napoleon into the Trianon Palace and invited him to lunch together!

But after getting a little familiar, she suddenly felt that the boy in front of her who deliberately pretended to be a little serious and cold was very interesting, this French queen was just too coquettish, but she was still very kind.

"Your Majesty! It is my pleasure and thank you for your Majesty's hospitality with the Marquis of Zinedin! Napoleon quickly stood up and gave a salute.

"Monsieur Bonaparte, can I know why you came to me for berberine hydrochloride?" After eating almost, Ye Kai took two sips of Dutt wine and asked.

"I have come to seek your help because of the loyal French artillery lieutenant, Monsieur Gaston, whose daughter has a terrible tuberculosis and lives in agony every day, and Monsieur Gaston is in great pain for it, but the berberine you invented cannot be bought on the market, even a little!"

At this point, the emperor's voice was muffled, and today's French society is full of contradictions, and the government's finances are on the verge of collapse, even artillery officers like him and Mr. Gaston are living a very difficult life.

Louis. Gaston, an old-timer whom Napoleon met after he was assigned to Raphael's Legion, gave a lot of help to the young emperor, and Gaston's ten-year-old daughter Elle was like Napoleon's own sister.

After knowing that Napoleon's family was a nobleman from Corsica, Mr. Gaston, who had no way, always inadvertently set his eyes on Napoleon.

And Napoleon, who could not bear to watch Elle lose weight, took his heart and volunteered to come to the Trianon Palace, although he knew that his status as a nobleman was very watery, but he really couldn't bear to see Mr. Gaston's eyes again.

Ye Kai is a little bit, no one can give face, take the emperor's must give, this is the existence of the French who will be regarded as heroes for hundreds of years in the future, in the present, it belongs to the potential stock with unlimited potential, not only to give, but also to give more, so much so that Napoleon feels that he owes him a lot of kindness.

Ye Kai lowered his brows, overpowering the atmosphere to the lowest, and he paused for a few seconds before pretending to be difficult to speak.

"Monsieur Bonaparte, in fact, there is no medicine available on the market, not only because the medicine is monopolized by the great nobles, but because the production is indeed limited due to the raw materials.

But if it were for one person, I could think of a way, but I couldn't set this precedent, and if I gave it to Mr. Gaston, there would be more people like Mr. Gaston, and I couldn't agree to everyone's request. ”

Napoleon's brows furrowed a little, and he looked at Ye Kai with some excitement, "Marquis Zinetin, I have already felt your kindness, will you agree?" How much money is needed, I can...! ”

At this point, the young Napoleon was silent, he thought I could pay for it, but it occurred to him that this medicine could not be bought with money.

And he didn't have much money at all, and when he remembered that he would have to send five livres to his brother Joseph at the end of the month, he wouldn't be able to export the rest of his words!

"Alright! I agree, Monsieur Bonaparte, though it may cause me a great deal of trouble, but I see that you have done so much for the sake of your colleagues, and I make an exception! ”
