"On behalf of His Holiness the Pope, I wish the two newlyweds to overcome this difficult time together under the watchful eye of the Lord! May the Lord bless you as a couple......"

The Archbishop of Paris addressed Jérôme with a reverent expression. Bonaparte and Augusta expressed the Pope's blessing with God.

For the so-called God and the Pope blessed Jérôme without feeling. Bonaparte listened expressionlessly to the archbishop's rambling scene.

If it weren't for the sake of making his title more sacred, Jérôme. Bonaparte was reluctant to do such meaningless and tedious things.

In order to make this wedding a success, the Tuileries Palace spent more than 5 million francs before and after.

More than 500,000 francs have been spent on flowers and decorations from the Tuileries to Notre-Dame alone.

For the "thrifty housekeeper" Jérôme. Bonaparte, for his part, was the first time he had engaged in such a laborious money-burning activity.

There is no way, people always have to compromise with reality.

Besides, there is only one wedding like this in a lifetime, so it is only natural to spend a little money!

Jérôme. Bonaparte comforted himself in this way.

After a long speech, the Archbishop of Paris placed the crown on the table and handed it to Jérôme. In the hands of Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty, please bring it for the Empress!" Archbishop to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

Jérôme. Bonaparte raised the crown with both hands and placed it gently on top of Augusta's head.

Augusta's eyes are closed in Jérôme. Bonaparte opened the crown as he placed it above her head.

The nobles, generals, and bankers in Notre-Dame immediately stood up and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty!" Long live the Queen! ”

Mocal then walked out of the backstage of Notre-Dame Cathedral, now holding a small box with a delicate carving in his hands.

Mocal came to Jérôme. Bonaparte presented the box in front of him, Jérôme. Bonaparte opened the box with his own hands, and a ring was placed in the box.

The sterling silver ring and the red gemstones set in the gemstone slot make the ring look extraordinarily gorgeous.

Jérôme. Bonaparte took out the ring, gently grasped Augusta's hand with one hand, and placed it on Augusta's middle finger.

When the ring was worn thoroughly on Augusta's middle finger, Jérôme. Bonaparte had a spontaneous pride.

As a time-traveler, he sat in the place where his cousin was in history and married the orthodox princess that his cousin couldn't ask for.

In a way, Jérôme. Bonaparte has completely surpassed Napoleon III in history.

This kind of happiness was something he would never have experienced in his previous life. Although Jérôme. Bonaparte was still a far cry from his uncle.

The wedding lasted until the evening, and to the cheers of the crowd, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta left Notre-Dame Cathedral and returned to the Tuileries Palace, and the Bonaparte family's rule over France began to settle down.

That night, Jérôme. Bonaparte had a wonderful evening with Augusta.

Early morning on November 1.

When the sky was still hazy, Jérôme. Bonaparte got up cautiously from his bed, crept out of the bedroom and returned to his study.

During the preparation of the wedding, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not work anymore, so the secretary's office was squeezed with many documents that he needed to read and correct.

All the papers were placed on the desk in the study, and looking at the mountains of papers on the desk, Jérôme. Bonaparte sighed, then glanced at the pendulum clock in the corner of the study, it was 6 o'clock in the morning, and it was expected that all the papers would be processed at about 9 o'clock.

Just do it, Jérôme. Bonaparte sat in a cushioned chair and flipped through the contents of the papers.

These include the Bordeaux Province Viticulture Report, the Paris Regional Cooperatives Report, the Rail Transport Summary......

Jérôme. Bonaparte scrutinized everything, frowning and smiling.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed, and the door to the study suddenly opened.

Jérôme heard movement at the door. Bonaparte looked up in the direction of the door, where Augusta, the Empress of the French Empire, was standing there looking at Jérôme. Bonaparte.

"Huh? You're awake! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Augusta as he looked down at the contents of the document.

"Huh?" Augusta walked slowly to Jérôme. Bonaparte looked in amazement at Jérôme. Bonaparte's papers on the desk: "Why are there so many?" ”

"This is already the content handed over to me after being screened by various departments and the secretariat!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and said, "I need to check every aspect of France, how can there be more than that!" ”

"Then you don't have to work so hard!" Augusta softly jerked Rome. Bonaparte said that she was worried about Jérôme. Bonaparte's body would have been overwhelmed.

"There's no way, now all aspects need to be checked, and if you are not careful, you can make a bunch of big news in the locality." Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed to the document in his hand and said to Augustus: "This is the report of the central provinces on cooperatives!" ”

Valley/Span Jérôme. Bonaparte handed over the co-op report to Augusta.

Augusta read it from top to bottom and looked at Jérôme suspiciously. Bonaparte asked: "There seems to be nothing wrong with this report!" Not all of them join the cooperative! ”

"That's the biggest problem!" Jérôme. Bonaparte reluctantly responded: "According to this report, more than 70% of the peasants in their provinces have joined it!" When will the peasants have such a high level of enthusiasm! If every peasant would understand the benefits of cooperatives, why would I order the provinces to establish agricultural colleges in the first place! ”

"What do you mean?" Augusta seems to understand Jérôme. Bonaparte's subtext.

"Either the people below are fooling us, or someone is acting with administrative instructions to accomplish the goal for the sake of political performance!" Jérôme. A sneer appeared at the corner of Bonaparte's mouth.

The bureaucratic class, wherever it is, is a virtue at all times, and they will do anything to achieve political success.

This kind of person was also called a cool official in ancient times.

"And it's not just the center, it's a similar situation in some parts of the south!" Jérôme. Bonaparte pulled out a few documents from the pile of papers, sighed, and said, "Let. Professor Dulles is a qualified professor, but his knowledge of bureaucracy seems to be stuck in an ivory tower. ”

"I don't think so!" Augusta made a non-dissenting opinion.

"Oh? What do you think? "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Augusta Dao.

"The reason why these documents appear here is probably because your minister saw the trick in them!" Augusta vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte explained: "Otherwise, he will not be able to reach your desk." You don't mean that all documents are screened by various departments before they are sent to you! ”

"You have a little truth in saying that!" Jérôme. Bonaparte gently stroked his chin.

"So, what are you going to do?" Now Augusta has fully assumed the role of wife and assistant.

"What else can I do? A field trip, of course! No survey, no voice! "Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and said to Augusta, then added, "It's a honeymoon for both of us!" ”

"Good!" Augusta had a happy smile on her face.

Jérôme. Bonaparte continued to look through the following contents, and Augusta was on the sidelines helping Jérôme. Bonaparte sorted out what he had read.

2 November, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Augusta decided to leave Paris to inspect the provinces, and their first stop was to the province where 70 percent of the peasants claimed to be joining the cooperative.

The result of the assault was just as Jérôme. As Bonaparte had predicted, the vast majority of the peasants in the province were coerced into joining the cooperatives, and many of them joined without knowing what the cooperatives were all about.

After some investigations, Jérôme. Bonaparte found that the vast majority of cooperatives did not fulfill the obligations of cooperatives at all, but were a mess.

Only a very small number of cooperatives formed by reputable clergy, or by slightly wealthy farmers, were able to show a positive feedback.

Moreover, the cooperatives in the province have not reached 70% at all, as he said, and at best only about 40%.

Even then, the whole province was in a mess.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte inspected the local agricultural schools, only to find that there was a problem with empty staffing in the agricultural schools, and many of them did not have many agricultural students at all.

The principle of giving priority to aristocrats and large landowners in special agricultural loans has emerged, and the rich and powerful "first rich groups" have begun to carry out small-scale land annexation with the help of loans.

Policies that were originally favorable to the peasants have become "remnants" at the local level.

The policy of the bureaucratic class, which deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates for the sake of efficiency, forced merger made Jérôme. Bonaparte seemed to have returned to that time more than a hundred years later.

He couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart, as long as any good policy needs to be in the hands of irresponsible magistrates, it will become a harmful act to the people.

Jérôme, who experienced the decaying bureaucratic class. Bonaparte immediately dismissed the provincial officials and the mayors of the following municipalities, and appointed a cadre to the post of senior official. Although the official belonged to the (moderate) republican faction, Jérôme. Bonaparte resolutely chose to appoint.

With Jérôme. In Bonaparte's words: "I would rather have a republican official than an incompetent fool who spoils the people." ”

After the new senior officials took office, they quickly selected a group of mayors from the city council who were familiar with the grassroots business, and most of them were members of the orthodox and Orleanist factions who were familiar with the grassroots business.

Immediately after the inauguration of the new senior officials and the mayor, orders were issued that the peasants could dissolve themselves if they did not wish to establish cooperatives.

Nearly 60 percent of the cooperatives were dissolved, and the vast majority of peasants returned to working alone.

Looking at the group of elated peasants in front of him, Jérôme. Bonaparte shook his head again and sighed: "There is still a long way to go!" ”

With a thunderous blow to the first province and find out Jérôme. Bonaparte's attitude of Jean. Dulles also took immediate action, and the agricultural inspection team began to inspect the provinces that had exceeded the task of forming cooperatives.

Sure enough, the provinces that exceeded their target were wiped out.

Subsequently, let's . Dulles in turn gave orders to dissolve unqualified cooperatives.

Jérôme. Bonaparte also harshly criticized the provinces that used administrative directives to accomplish their tasks, and once again removed the slightest incompetent, and promoted a number of competent officials.
