While the ancient Ottoman Empire was preparing to continue to use delaying tactics on the question of the Russian Empire, Paris, more than 2,000 kilometers away from Constantinople, was troubled by certain problems.

Unlike the Ottoman courtiers, who were troubled by the uncertain future, Paris was troubled by its rapid changes.

In the more than a year of the reorganization of the Seine municipal government, narrow roads have been renovated and widened; From Gare de l'Est to Place de la Concorde, thousands of buildings were bought and demolished for reconstruction;

Half of Paris is covered in grayish-yellow dust all day, and when the dust clears, the Louvre Hotel, the Paris department store, the elevator, the short-lived electric (arc) lamp...... Many of the products that could only have emerged in the industrial era seemed to stand in Paris overnight.

In this thousand-year-old Seine, where the remnants of history (old neighborhoods) and new things (new streets) come together to build this old city, old Paris once again has its charm.

All of this was born out of the desire to build a new Paris, which led to a revolution that was initiated by none other than the "King" Haussmann dignitaries who lived in the town hall of the Seine, and the Emperor Jérôme, who stood behind the Haussmann baron. Bonaparte.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and his high-ranking officials held a magic wand called Infrastructure, and at the stroke of a finger, the narrow streets quickly widened to three times their original size, and the old apartment was transformed into a new inn and hotel in the blink of an eye.

However, this magical magic is based on the thousands of proletarians who hide beneath the magic. In other words, it was not the emperor and high-ranking officials who really built the city with their hands, but also the workers and masons who lived in Paris...... The shivering proletarians hiding in the cellars.

The workers who had been betrayed by Paris and expelled from Paris were "invited" by the contractors at the construction site to return to Paris to participate in the construction of Paris.

These men, who were later called the pioneers of cattle and horses, were building Paris with their hands, and in the dead of night, they could always hear the sparks coming from afar, and they could hear the pickaxe hitting the bricks in their ears, and they were paid a meager salary every day, and they breathed dirt that was harmful to their bodies, but they could not leave an inch in the city.

The desire for housing touched not only the hearts of the Parisian workers, but also the emperor who lived in the Tuileries.

On May 13, 1853, it was once again drizzling in Paris in a temperate maritime climate.

After breaking free from the clouds, the dense raindrops were affected by gravity and fell to the ground as if they were playing a happy music for the rebirth of the city.

In the midst of this haze, a figure stepped out of the Château de Fontainebleau, followed by a soldier in a pale blue military uniform.

The two set off from the Champs-Élysées with umbrellas, walked along the Champs-Élysées to the end, turned right, and continued along the newly built Rue Rivre.

On this avenue with a width of nearly 60 meters on the left and right, smelling the earthy aroma brought out by the circularization, and feeling the slight moistness coming from the trouser legs, Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but quicken his pace, and the adjutant Edgar Edgar standing beside him. Ney has also stepped up the pace.

The two of them continued walking along the Avenue de Rivoy for about 20 minutes or so, and the rain gradually subsided, and the Place du Châtelet and the Paris City Hall at the end of the Avenue de Rivoy appeared in front of them.

Jérôme. The destination of Bonaparte's trip was none other than the Hôtel de Ville in Paris.

As soon as the Emperor, who had walked to the town hall, stepped through the gates of the town hall when he heard an exclamation from the staff inside the town hall.

You don't have to think about it to know that they were surprised that the emperor had arrived "without permission" without greeting.

"Hello!" Jérôme. Seeing this, Bonaparte smiled and greeted the staff in the town hall, and at the same time pressed his hand to show quiet.

After a brief moment of surprise, the staff in the hall returned to their proper order.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte casually pointed to a lucky clerk to lead the way.

The clerk looked at Jérôme excitedly. Bonaparte, with his mouth trembling, could not utter a word.

The surrounding crowd also cast envious and jealous glances at him.

Under the leadership of the clerk, Jérôme. Bonaparte walked up the stairs and soon came to the top floor of the Hôtel de Ville.

Walking along the red-carpeted corridor to the end, the signage of the high-ranking official's office hangs on the wall.

"Your Majesty, this is it!" The clerk pointed to the door and deferentially addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Thank you very much!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded and thanked the clerk in front of him.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing! The clerk waved his hand in confusion, which seemed to him to be nothing more than a matter of effort.

"That's it! You can go back and get back to work! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to the clerk.

Valley /span "Yes! Your Majesty! "The clerk hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte saluted and left.

Jérôme standing at the door of the high-ranking official's office. A wicked smile appeared on Bonaparte's lips, and after taking a step back, he gestured to Edgar. Ney knocks on the door.

Edgar. Ney obeys Jérôme. Bonaparte's order knocked on the door of the Ottoman dignitary, and after a while, the voice of the Ottoman dignitary came from inside the door: "Who? ”

"Don't tell him!" Jérôme. Bonaparte whispered to Edgar beside him. Brigadier General Ney said.

Looking at the evil emperor, Edgar. Ney could only comply: "Your Excellency, there is an important document that you need to sign!" ”

"Then bring it in!" Osman's voice was heard again.

Jérôme. Bonaparte gestured to Edgar. Ney waited at the door, while he cautiously pushed open the door to the high-ranking official's office, without making a sound.

Looking through the door, George. Haussmann was preoccupied with his head bowed to revise something, and behind him was a panorama of Paris, full of red-marked locations, some of which had been renovated, others that were being renovated or planned.

"Lord Osman, your documents!" Jérôme. Bonaparte pinched his throat at George. Osman said.

"Put it there!" Osman didn't look up, but pointed to the sofa next to him and motioned to Jérôme. Bonaparte put the papers on the couch.

Jérôme. Bonaparte tiptoed to George. Standing beside Haussmann, standing on the left, he found in Haussmann's hand a more detailed drawing of a section of the blocks on the left bank of the Seine. The Ottoman is marked in red, and it looks like it should be an area where construction is about to begin.

Just Jerome. When Bonaparte tilted his head to examine the contents of the drawing, Osman raised his head and said impatiently, "I didn't ask you to ......," and he was only halfway through his words, when he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was actually the emperor.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty! The sudden "surprise" made George. Osman was a little surprised, even a little frightened, and after the panic, he was glad that he didn't say something out of place.

"Hmm!" Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed his head at Haussmann, then pointed to Osman's red mark on the drawings and asked, "Are these the streets that need to be demolished?" ”

Osman hurriedly got up for Jérôme. Bonaparte gave way, Jérôme. Bonaparte sat down similarly unceremoniously.

"That's right!" Baron Ottoman pointed to the city towards Jérôme. Bonaparte replied: "The Saint-Michel district, centered on the Luxembourg Palace, is the focus of this renovation!" ”

"Saint-Michel, Saint-Michel......" Jérôme. Bonaparte muttered quietly as he tapped his hand on the high-ranking officer's desk without rhythm.

"Your Majesty...... The renovation of the Saint-Michel district will help to improve the cityscape of Paris! "George. Ottoman to Jérôme. Bonaparte said cautiously, for fear of Jérôme. Bonaparte vetoed his proposal.

He was already exhausted by the stubborn city councillors who had dealt with the city council, and if the emperor did not support him, the renovation of the Saint-Michel district would have been completely aborted.

"How much money are you going to spend to take these streets!" Jérôme. Bonaparte pointed to the area marked in red on the map to George. Osman asked.

"The town hall has allocated 40 million francs for the renovation of the Saint-Michel district!" Ottoman hurriedly to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"How is the placement of personnel and how is the assets going?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked again.

"The city government plans to send public officials to the areas where construction needs to be carried out before construction begins! Compensation is given based on assets. Baron Osman continued.

"Since you said asset valuation, how are you going to prevent a series of problems during asset valuation? For example, the owner of the house raised the price of the goods in the house, and the price of the house was charged according to the price of that year? "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked George one by one. Ottoman Road.

These questions are in Jérôme. In Bonaparte's previous life, it had always been a big problem, especially the problem of inflated quotes.

So much so that the term "dismantling the second generation" has been derived on the Internet later.

George. Osman opened his mouth, unable to say a word, and then he could only respond stiffly: "This is my mistake!" ”

"No investigation, no voice! I hope that when you do urban renovation, you will know in advance the specific price of the house that needs to be remodeled! Otherwise, the demolition is likely to dry up the government's finances. In order to compensate for the losses, the government has to make up for the losses through various taxes, and those who instruct it in urban renewal will also recover the losses by passing on rents.

By that time, the whole of Paris will turn into our biggest opposition! ”
