Chapter 161: Records of Experiences in the District of Saint-Denis
"Adjutant Conrobert, when you arrive at General Regnio's residence, please tell him that I will meet him at 8 o'clock tonight at the Élysée Palace. Let General Regnio come in from behind, lest some idle people catch us. And when you leave, don't ride a horse. Riding a horse is easy to get other people's attention! ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte admonished Conrobert one by one.
"Yes! Your Majesty! Conrobel replied decisively: "I will relay your words to General Regnio!" ”
Get Conrobert to respond to Geo Rohm. Bonaparte waved at Conrobert and said, "Go! Go early and come back early! ”
"Yes!" Conrobert straightened up to Jérôme. Bonaparte salutation, Jérôme. Bonaparte also replied with a serious face.
Leaving the Élysée Palace, Conrobert did not go to General Regnio's temporary residence for a while, but returned alone to his rented mansion.
Adjutant Conrobel, who had changed into civilian clothes and went out of the mansion again, walked alone for a long distance before beckoning to a carriage.
The carriage drove Adjutant Conrobert all the way to the Saint-Denis district.
As soon as the carriage entered the boundaries of the Saint-Denis district, the whole district quickly became shapely, and the neat streets of the Saint-Germain district became uneven, with stones and rubbish everywhere in the narrow streets, and the buildings on both sides of the road also looked dilapidated and in disrepair. There are traces of barricades among the rows of dangerous buildings, the stalls and newsboys on the street even blocked the already narrow street for a time, and the pedestrians did not live up to the elegance and cleanliness of the Bourgeois of the Saint-Denis district, and the proletarians wearing gray free hats, slightly shabby Camagnola clothes, trousers, and a pair of thick clogs under their feet became the main theme of the Saint-Denis district.
If the Saint-Germain district represents the best side of Paris, the Saint-Denis district undoubtedly represents the most authentic and at the same time the darkest side of Paris.
Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.
Since the Third Estate of the Revolution went from joining hands to parting ways, the workers of Paris have never really survived as "people" for a single day, living in a single room with more than a dozen people, or living in a dark, damp place like a goblin cave with occasional outbreaks, and even more so that the only place where they slept was to sleep at different times with the others.
The proletarians create wealth, and their value is constantly squeezed until the bourgeois completely drains their value, and those bourgeois discard them mercilessly like the cane that has been squeezed with sugar cane juice.
After the Revolution, the Parisian proletarians continued to resist and struggle, and each revolt was met with the most ruthless repression in Paris.
Even former allies (republicans) will raise their butcher's knives against them after seizing power.
If Jérôme. If Bonaparte were here, he would have lamented the hardships of the Parisian workers, and then shed two crocodile tears, and then consider the Parisian workers and factories being drawn to the suburbs.
The translation is: Take grandpa's kindness and don't see the poor suffering.
Of course, Conrobert apparently did not have such a psychological burden, he had seen so many of them in Algiers, and they were clearly living in paradise compared to the Berbers who were terrified all day long.
Everything is comparative.
The carriage slowly passed through the streets of Saint-Germain and soon came to the temporary residence of General Regnio.
The adjutant Conrobel who opened the door handed over a Napoleon silver coin to the coachman because he couldn't find the change, and the coachman, who could not find the change, could only look at the adjutant Conrobel in embarrassment.
"The rest of the money will be your tip!" The generous Adjutant Conrobell said magnanimously.
The coachman hurriedly thanked Adjutant Conrobert and asked Adjutant Conrobert if he needed to return, where he could wait for Conrobel's return.
"No, you don't!" Adjutant Conrobell shook his head, declined the coachman's kindness, and entered the building alone where General Regnio was hidden.
Walking on the dusty steps, Adjutant Conrobell finally came to the fourth floor, and a wooden door of red nan wood blocked Adjutant Conrobel's front.
Adjutant Conrobel knocked softly on the door.
"Who?" Inside the door came the slightly vicissitudes of General Regino's voice.
"I'm Conrobel!" Conrobel leaned into the crack of the door and whispered to General Regnio inside: "I have come to see you on the orders of the president!" ”
General Regnio, who was in the room, heard the presidential lieutenant and quickly got up and opened the door.
Conrobel and Regnio met for the first time.
Prior to this, General Regnio had only learned from the letter that the president had an adjutant named Conrobel.
The two looked at each other, and Adjutant Conrobert stretched out his hand to General Regnio and said, "Welcome back to Paris, General!" ”
General Regnio took Conrobert's hand and nodded.
Next, Adjutant Conrobert will be Jérôme. Everything Bonaparte had given him was told to General Regnio.
With that, Adjutant Conrobell quietly stared at the "famous" general in front of him.
"I see!" General Regnio nodded in understanding, and he said solemnly: "Please tell the president, I will definitely arrive on time!" ”
"Hmm!" Adjutant Conrobell also nodded in understanding.
Subsequently, Adjutant Conrobert explained to General Regnio the current political situation in Paris.
Because he had been in Rome during this time, General Regnio could only learn about the current situation in Paris through newspapers and letters, which could not have been more detailed than that of Conrobert, a person who had experienced it himself.
"Thank you! Colonel Conrobel! General Regino, who had listened to Conrobert's account of the situation in Paris, sincerely thanked Conrobert, who had known the purpose of the presidency through his understanding of the political situation in Paris.
"I'm also serving the president!" Adjutant Conrobell said modestly, and then vaguely stated his needs: "General, I hope that when you are the minister, you can divide the functions of some departments in detail!" The overlapping functions between departments will affect the operation of the entire department! ”
General Regnio, of course, understood what Conrobert meant, and he wanted to expand the Military Secretariat by removing some functions from the War Department.
General Regnio can understand Conrobel's behavior.
In fact, during the Roman Wars, General Regnio and Niel had already discussed the bloated functions of the War Department, and he was also in favor of streamlining the functions involved in the War Department.
"After I become Minister of War, I will get rid of some of the evils!!" General Regnio responded.
Conrobell thanked General Regnio.
Just as Conrobel was about to leave, General Reinho took out a note from Conrobel, which was a note from the Bank of Rome.
"This is ......," Conrobert looked at General Regnio in surprise.
"This is the thoughts of all of us in the Expeditionary Force to the President! Bank of Rome bills can be exchanged at the Banque de France! General Regnio replied to Conrobert.
"Isn't this a little precious?" Conrobel looked at the bill, which contained 600,000 francs.
You must know that the president's salary is only 600,000 francs a year.
General Regnio and they are probably making a lot of money in Rome, as the wealth and art gathering place of the entire Apennines, Rome is still possible to loot a large amount of money as long as they want to loot.
"Nothing! These were all raised spontaneously by the citizens of Rome for the army of the Republic! "General Regnio brazenly described the robbery as a spontaneous donation.
"I see! I'll give it to Mr. President! Conrobell nodded at General Regnio.
"It's the lieutenant yours!" General Regnio again pulled out a note of 50,000 francs, which he had meant to give to Eugène. Ruet's bills.
Since Eugène. Minister Ruai has not returned, and it is not unreasonable to make appropriate acquaintances with the people close to the president.
"I can't ask for it!"
Faced with General Regino's note, Adjutant Conrobell decisively refused.
He knows that some money can be taken and some money cannot be taken.
A Minister of War and an adjutant in the Military Secretariat are mixed up, and any monarch will feel uncomfortable.
Under Conrobel's repeated prevarications, General Regnio had no choice but to give up.
Conrobert, who had a huge sum of 600,000 francs in his pocket, said goodbye to General Regnio and called a carriage back to his residence.
Changing into a military uniform, he came to the Élysée Palace to ask Jérôme. Bonaparte reported on General Regnio and placed a note of 600,000 francs in Jérôme. On Bonaparte's table.
"It seems that General Regnio has gained a lot in Rome!" Jérôme, who roughly understood what General Regnio was doing in Rome. Bonaparte did not mean reproach, in this day and age, money is the best way to motivate the army.
Jérôme, who aspires to be a bourgeois monarch. If Bonaparte did not motivate them to serve himself with money, would he have to motivate them with patriotic fervor?
"You didn't take any money from him, did you?" Jérôme. Bonaparte turned his gaze to Conrobert, and he pursed his lips and asked half-jokingly, half-seriously.
"Nope!" Conrobel sneered, and he hurriedly got up and said like a bell.
"Hmmm! I understand! "Jérôme. Bonaparte's faint response made Conrobert creepy, and he was somewhat glad that he had held the bottom line and did not accept General Regnio.
"Call Wardrey here!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Conrobert.
During Pesiny's tenure in Leclezzo, Fleurish's tenure in the National Guard's General Staff, and Mocal's tenure in Germany, he served as Jérôme. Bonaparte's mentor and friend, Wardre, assumed the responsibility of "steward" of the Élysée Palace.
After the arrival of Waldre, Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed to the 600,000 francs on the table and said to Waldre: "You take the money and set up a service center for disabled servicemen to serve disabled soldiers." If you don't have enough money, you can come to me! ”
