"Huh?"

The title of the first page of the manuscript first aroused the interest of Pope Pius IX.

Before Leo XIII (the next pope of Pius IX), there was no systematic article on the influence of Catholic ethics on economics, and pious believers always believed that the Holy Lord should not be infected by the stench of secular copper, so that in order to take care of the faith of the faithful, Pope Gregory had to expand his capital by a covert means.

Many times, Pius IX secretly envied the heretics (Protestants) for being able to tie their clergy to money.

If Catholicism can make up for its own shortcomings, then it will regain its vigor and may even suppress Protestantism for a time.

Thinking of this, the heart of the Ninth Gu Jing Bubo instantly rippled.

Perhaps he could become the greatest pope of the century in his lifetime?

A thought grew like a weed in the mind of Pius IX.

Pius IX carefully looked at each character of the Catholic Ethics and Economics, lest he miss important information.

An introduction in just 50,000 French words took Pius IX nearly an hour to read.

Pius IX, who had finished reading the first draft, also looked at Jerome with an incredulous look. Bonaparte, as if he were looking at a monster.

"Unbelievable!" Pius IX muttered quietly.

"Your Majesty, are you satisfied with this gift of mine?" Jérôme. Bonaparte said in a calm tone.

Pius IX looked Jérôme up and down again. Bonaparte, he still did not want to believe that the article in front of him was written by Jérôme.

"Where did you get this article?" Pius IX asked the doubts in his mind.

"Your Majesty, this article is my own feeling that the Holy See was confronted with the lack of theories in economics back then, so I wrote this article, hoping to help the Holy See make up for the disadvantages in economics!" Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke to Pius IX with a reverent expression and made a gesture of prayer.

Looking at Jérôme. With Bonaparte's pious expression, Pius IX actually believed Jérôme somewhat. What Bonaparte had said to him before.

Maybe he's really different from his uncle?

If it is said that the factors before Pius IX based on the interests of the Papal States must differ from Jérôme. Bonaparte's false and wronged words, then now the scales of his heart are really beginning to turn in favor of Jérôme. Bonaparte tilted.

The two kings of the Bourbon dynasty (Count of Chambord, Louis. Philip and Jérôme, who was a substantial contributor to the theory of the Holy See. Bonaparte was far from it.

I don't know how many of the touting letters I have received.

"Prince Jérôme, I find that your article seems to only write the content of the introduction, where is the rest?" Pius IX was desperate to get from Jérôme. Bonaparte's mouth learned the whereabouts of the rest.

"Your Majesty, the rest of the theories are in the minds of me and my nephew, who has a high respect for the Lord!" Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed to his head and said, "If you are satisfied with my articles, I will do my best to complete them!" ”

"Then I'll wait for the Prince's masterpiece in the Pontifical Palace!" Pius IX against Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

Pius IX then joined Jérôme. Bonaparte discusses a question and proposition in the introduction.

"Your Excellency, you advocate the improvement of social relations on the basis of the obligations of the workers, the employers, and the State in order to solve the problems of the workers...... This is not in keeping with the duties of the Holy See. "Pius IX commented on a passage in the introduction to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at what Pius IX was referring to for a long time before he remembered that this idea was the content of Pope Leo XIII's first social encyclical "New Things" in 1891, and since the issuance of the "New Things" edict, the Catholic parties in Europe, especially in the German Empire, have grown like wild horses in battle, and for a time became the second largest party after the SPD.

The power of the edict is self-evident.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask what is the greatest political crisis facing the Papal States right now?" Jérôme. Bonaparte did not respond directly to Pius IX, but instead asked about Pius IX's current situation: "Of course, you can also tell me that the Papal States are still singing and dancing, and then there is nothing to discuss on this issue!" ”

"The Papal States ...... now," Pius IX pondered for a moment, then reorganized the language and asked tentatively: "Liberalization is not enough?" ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced at Pius IX in disappointment, the pope still did not see the essence of the matter clearly, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask if it is really a question of liberalization, then why is there no crisis in Sardinia?" In the end, the so-called liberalization is nothing more than a political game of the upper class, and the power of the Papal States is in the hands of you and the Cardinals, and some people want a piece of the pie! ”

Historically, the Papal States also carried out a liberalization reform, but that reform was only a change of soup in 1830, and the people who changed the times still did not change.

"So I'm supposed to let them in and get a piece of the action? Why should I sit at the same table with those insatiable bunches! Pope Pius IX said indignantly.

"Your Majesty, that's what I'm advocating! Since you don't want to let those insatiable guys in, you'll have to look for an ally! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to the Pope: "The Holy See needs to help those workers fight for their rights, to help them achieve freedom of association, to meet the needs of their families!" As long as you unite them, Your Majesty will no longer have to retreat from those guys, and you can even use the workers to force them to give up some of their rights! ”

"This ...... Can it be done? Are those mobs really willing to take it? Pius IX addressed Jérôme in an uncertain tone. Bonaparte said.

"Your Majesty!" Jérôme. Bonaparte struck the railroad while it was hot: "Please believe that the Holy See is majestic in the hearts of the people of the Papal States, and they are only being used by well-intentioned people to lead to the current situation!" As long as the priests can organize them together so that those guys don't have a chance, then you don't need to give in to them! Win over a group of people and suppress a group of people......"

Jérôme. Bonaparte also expounded to Pius IX the theory of "the countryside surrounding the city", using the power of the rural grassroots to organize associations against the urban petty burgher class, so as to achieve a balanced goal.
