Chapter 486: Expulsion Decree
The plan is just an ideal plan, and no one knows what kind of changes will happen in between.
After meeting Paul, the Moses brothers and the major Jewish consortia began to move separately.
Among them, Moses the Great was responsible for opening the smuggling trade route, while Moses the Younger was responsible for transferring the people.
The smuggling route is very easy to open, and the Jewish consortium has been in Europe for many years, so it naturally has its own unique business channels. Soon, even in less than three months, they were able to create a safe and covert smuggling channel between Europe and Asia.
Little Moses, on the other hand, was in trouble.
The main thing is that in order to detonate the discontent of the French people against the Jews, it is necessary to make an explosive incident.
Originally, Moses Jr.'s plan was to trade hundreds of Jewish lives for this shocking event, but Paul did not agree with it, and even opposed Moses Jr.'s suggestion on the spot.
"Such a sacrifice is too great, let's change to a different plan!" Paul looked at the plan and said.
"But if such an incident is not created, it will not be enough to attract the attention of the whole of France. Mr. Bishop, don't forget that all this we are doing is for the sake of national recovery. ”
In the end, it was the restoration that triumphed over the sacrifices of his people, and Paul reluctantly agreed to Moses the Younger's plan.
Seeing Paul's approval, Moses Jr. immediately told his subordinates to prepare.
Soon, in the south-western city of Marseille, an extremely severe plague broke out, even worse than the Black Death.
In less than half a month, thousands of people in Marseille have died of the disease.
After a detailed investigation, the French government found that the disease had been spread by the Jewish community. Although the government has not yet reached a formal conclusion on this news, with the help of well-intentioned people, the media in France were the first to get the news, and then disclosed the news as soon as possible.
From the next day, panic began to rise throughout France, and many French citizens even demanded that the government immediately expel or even isolate the inhabitants of the Jewish community.
Things changed quickly, and before the French government could give an official opinion, a large-scale clash broke out between the inhabitants of Marseille and the Jews, in which hundreds of people were killed.
This aroused the strong concern of the French Emperor Louis XVIII, who informed the cabinet that it was necessary to come up with a plan within three days.
But in such a short period of time, how can the French cabinet come up with any effective solutions?
At the suggestion of a member of parliament, the French cabinet ministers submitted an application to Emperor Louis XVIII for the expulsion of all Jews from the territory.
The reason is simple, because this sudden plague broke out from within the Jewish community, and in this conflict, many French people were killed, and the government and the cabinet had to give an account to the whole French people.
There were more than 300,000 Jews in France, scattered throughout the country, and it was obviously impossible to isolate them all, so they had to be deported.
After the news was revealed by the media, the Jews in France were in an uproar.
They had been living in France for hundreds or even thousands of years, and it was clear that the vast majority of them were reluctant to leave so suddenly.
It was at this time that Paul appeared in the main Jewish quarters in France.
"Men of the Lord, I know that none of you want to leave France. Actually, I don't want you to leave France, but now the French government has issued a decree expelling all our Jews.
I don't know if you have received the news, but just after the last conflict, more than 300 people in the city of Marseille were killed by local citizens.
At this point, we can't help but leave France.
But rest assured, I have commissioned the Moses brothers and other consortiums to build a suitable settlement in Austria for everyone, well fed and clothed, and equipped with the best doctors and medicines. As long as everyone leaves France and goes to Austria, everything will be solved, and everyone will no longer have to worry about the safety of their lives and property.
Because the Moses Brothers Bank has promised to buy all your property in France at the market price, and when you arrive in Austria, the Moses Brothers Bank will return your lost property at eighty percent of the market price. ”
After listening to Paul's speech, the vast majority of Jews were moved, except for a very small number of unmoved people.
When he returned home, he sorted out his possessions and the salute, entrusted them to the Moses Brothers' Bank, and headed east to Austria with a simple salute.
Little did they know that they would face a fleeing road that would be tens of thousands of miles away.
Little Moses, on the other hand, had already ordered the branch of the Moses Brothers Bank in France to acquire a large number of local Jewish property, most of which were real estates such as shops, except for gold and silver.
Except for the precious metals such as gold and silver that were transported to the Great Zhou by the Moses brothers through secret channels intact, the Moses brothers did not sell the real estate of the rest of the tribesmen easily, because in this case, the sale of the industry will inevitably cause large fluctuations in the French economic market, and even lose a lot of profits due to the price reduction.
On the French side, when the French government heard that the Jews had begun to emigrate to Austria on a large scale, neither the Emperor Louis XVIII nor the top government officials paid attention to it.
Because they felt that it was a spontaneous action of the Jews. Besides, they don't want to see too many Jews in their country.
Once the Jews leave France, there will be no one to 'rob' them of their land and wealth, so they wish that the Jews would leave France as soon as possible.
As a result, the French government opened up a special immigration route for Jews to flee.
When small groups of Jewish immigrants arrived in Austria, they did not attract the attention of the Austrian government at first. However, as the number of people grew, the plague began to break out in Austria, which caused panic among the Austrian government and people.
Therefore, the Austrian government also urgently introduced corresponding measures to expel all Jews from France in the territory.
But most of the Jews who first went to Austria lived in the homes of their relatives and friends, who were apparently overwhelmingly Jews.
So inevitably, they were all infected with the plague to a greater or lesser extent.
How can this be?
There was no need to discuss it at all, and soon the Austrian government introduced new measures to deport all Jews from the country.
Many of them were native Austrian aristocrats who were behind the scenes, because they wanted to get excess land and wealth from the Jews......
