"Your Majesty, I guess this must be the work of Kafenyak!" Pessini swore that "only he can drive those damned bureaucrats to attack us!" ”

"My friend, please don't speak in that tone!" Jérôme. Bonaparte raised his hand to stop Pessini's complaints: "After all, those guys are just poor people loyal to the system!" The annual salary is less than 4,000 francs, and you have to face the accusations of your boss! ”

In the 19th century, the French clerk was indeed a decent job compared to other professions, but it was only decent, and the annual salary of the grassroots bureaucrats who sat in the Paris office was only about 1,300-3,800 francs, and the annual salary of the skilled workers in the same period was also 2,500 francs, and the French peasants had an annual income surplus of 1,500-2,000 francs, which meant that it would be difficult for the French grassroots bureaucrats to support a family if they did not have some extra income. Blackmailing some people from other provinces to earn extra money has become an unspoken rule of grassroots bureaucrats.

"But......" Pessini also knew that now was not the time to complain, but there was nothing he could do right now.

After all, the person who sits on the highest seat of power in France is Kafenjac, not Jérôme. Bonaparte.

"Now that it's happened, we're going to get to him as soon as possible!" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Pesini curiously, "By the way, which newspaper did we work with before?" ”

"The giant of the newspaper industry in Paris, Havas News Agency!" Pessini said cautiously: "Actually, at first, the boss of the Havas News Agency was not willing to cooperate with us. Baron Fuld is in the middle of this, and they are working with us! ”

"It's them!" Jérôme. Bonaparte instantly "recalled" the Havas News Agency, but what he did not expect was that the Havas News Agency, one of the four major newspapers that would monopolize world news in the future, would appear so early: "What is the content of our cooperation with the Havas News Agency?" ”

"The Havas news agency provides us with news about the overseas political sector, which is then distributed by our newspaper!" Pesini vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"You're a naked robbery!" Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed at Pesini in an exaggerated tone.

"Your Highness, our cooperation has ended!" Pesini tried to explain.

"This shows that people don't have confidence in us!" Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It seems that our old Mr. Hawass thinks that his investment is not cost-effective, so he did not resist the pressure and withdrew it in advance." ”

"Your Highness, then we ......," Percini asked again.

"If people want to draw a line with us, why do we have to follow them closely!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and took out a bill worth 100,000 francs and said, "This is 100,000 francs from the Bank of Milan, and I want you to control the newspaper at about 5 centimes!" ”

"Your Highness, if we do this, we will lose money!" Pesini's face changed slightly, and he turned to Jérôme. Bonaparte explained: "The cost of printing to publication of a newspaper alone is about 4-5 centimes. If 5 shengding is sold, we can only lose money inside! ”

"Secretary General Pesini!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said in a serious tone: "What we have to do now is to make our fame as soon as possible, the franc is gone, we can earn it again, there is only one chance!" ”

Pesini, who took the bill, understood Jérôme. Bonaparte meant: "I see! ”

"I'll take care of the things about Kafenyak! You just need to take care of the newspaper first! And don't let Kafenjak's puppies get our hands on us! "Jérôme. Bonaparte admonished with a serious expression.

"I'll be careful!"

Pessini, who had no other questions for the time being, left the conference hall.

Only Jérôme was left on the scene. Bonaparte and Eugène. Rue two people.

"Tomorrow I'm going to visit Monsieur Thiers!" Jérôme. Bonaparte vs Eugène. Rue said.

"Do you need me to accompany you?" Eugène. Ruai immediately responded.

Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head and said, "No need! I'm going to visit by myself! Just stay here! ”

"Yes!"

……

On September 5, 1848, Paris was exceptionally cool.

Monsieur Thiers, one of the giants of the Party of Order, added a coat to his thin lining early in the morning.

Although the weather has cooled a little, our Monsieur Thiers is still like a flame in his heart.

The burning fire of ambition hidden in the shell gave Thiers vigorous energy.

"Sir, Jérôme. Bonaparte begged to meet! ”

The servant in charge of the briefing reported to Thiers that Jérôme. News of Bonaparte's visit.

Is it finally here?

The corner of the dwarf-tall Thiers smiled treacherously, he thought how long the crappy prince would be able to hold on, and he didn't think about how long he would be able to disarm and surrender in less than 2 days.

The heart that had been vigilant was once again overwhelmed by Jérôme. Bonaparte's visit relaxed.

A guy who relies on the shadow of his father's generation, there is nothing to be afraid of!

"Then please Jérôme. Come in, Bonaparte! Thiers couldn't help but exude a hint of pride.

The servant will be Jérôme. Bonaparte was led to the parlor where Thiers was received.

Jérôme. Bonaparte finally saw Thiers' true face.

Uglier than the photos!

This is Jérôme. Bonaparte's first thought when he saw Thiers.

"Monsieur Bonaparte, don't you know what is the matter with you coming to me?" Thiers' treacherous face showed a look of surprise, and he seemed to be impressed by Jérôme. Bonaparte's arrival was a sign of surprise.

"Monsieur Thiers, I hope that you and your party will help me run for president!" Jérôme. Bonaparte stammered in his laughing Tuscan accent.

Hillbillies in Tuscany!

Thiers's heart once again despised Jérôme. Bonaparte, still with a surprised expression on his face, said: "Mr. Bonaparte, the election for president can only be voted for by the whole people, and we don't have this power!" ”

"Hmmm! Vote! Unexpectedly, Monsieur Thiers was also a veteran republican! "Jérôme. Bonaparte praised.

"I've always been a republican!" The political chameleon Thiers modestly responded.

"Then as a republican, you must not want to see the votes of the entire electorate of the republic erased by some people for inexplicable reasons!" Jérôme. Bonaparte deliberately accentuated his tone.

"Who...... Who would do such a thing! The thief of Thiers shouted to catch the thief in response, with an expression like that of a funny clown: "Monsieur Bonaparte, you should raise this matter in the National Assembly, and not consult with me here!" ”
