Chapter 552: The Yielding Banker
"Don't you have something to say to Mr. Algoo? Mr. Algu is here, and you can say whatever you have to say now! ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte spoke quietly, but it frightened the bankers.
The bankers present had no idea that the Emperor would appear in the Count of Argou's mansion, and if they had known that the Emperor had returned, they would not have slammed their guns into him.
Fortunately, the group of them had not yet discussed a strategy to deal with it, and the emperor had sent them to the army in advance.
The hall that was once bustling is now silent.
In Jérôme, a symbol of imperial power. In front of Bonaparte, this group of bankers, who professed to be the spokesmen of France, did not even dare to breathe.
Time passed minute by minute, and every second was a torture for the bankers in the hall.
Ten minutes later, Jérôme, who saw that none of the bankers present dared to speak. Bonaparte sneered: "Say! Why don't you say anything! Aren't you blocking Mr. Algoo's hall just so that Mr. Argu can talk to you! Now that you're bringing Mr. Argu, why don't you say it again! ”
The bankers were silent, and not a single one dared to touch their heads at this time.
Jérôme. Bonaparte looked around, counted the number of people in the hall with his hand, no more, no less, exactly 30, and then pointed to one of the bankers, "You...... Come out! ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte was stunned for a moment with the old man in his fingers, and then asked in a daze as if he had just woken up: "Your Majesty, did you just let me pass!" ”
"That's right! It's you! Rodhams. Mr. Capafil! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded at him.
Joldams had no choice but to come to Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed before Jérôme. Bonaparte saluted: "Your Majesty! ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte touched his chin and smiled with interest, "Monsieur Adams! If my memory is correct, you must have been friends with Count Arguo for many years! ”
"That's right!" Rodhams. Capafler nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied in a low voice.
"Since they are good friends, then why do you want to stay with them in Algu's house and not want to go!" Jérôme. Bonaparte rebuked John with cold sneer. Cappafil said: "You are all a figure with a head and a face in Paris, and now you can learn the methods of the blind stream at the bottom of Paris!" ”
"I ......" Adams. Capafel smiled bitterly in his heart, in fact, he didn't want to do this, but things had developed to this point that he couldn't help it, he could only bite the bullet with Jérôme. Bonaparte responded, "Actually, we just came here to comfort Count Argour and prevent him from having any accidents!" ”
"Just looking?" Despite the fact that Jérôme. Bonaparte didn't believe in Joldams at all. Kapafil's nonsense, but he still had to pretend to believe him.
After all, Jérôme . Bonaparte could not have really taken them all back.
The law is also tried in the banker community.
However, the occasional knock on the mountain can still be tried.
"That's right! We just came to visit Count Argou! Now that Count Argu is fine, we can leave with peace of mind! "Since the Emperor has given them the stairs, then if Adams. Capafil naturally followed the trend.
"Good! I'm sure you're worried about your bosses and friends because you're doing this kind of brainless thing! "Jérôme. Bonaparte raised his voice and said, "Now you have seen that the Count of Argou is safe and sound!" Is it okay to leave with peace of mind? ”
Jérôme. As soon as Bonaparte's words fell, the bankers in the hall said that they could leave with peace of mind when they saw that Count Argourne was fine!
Subsequently, the bankers in the hall left the mansion of the Count of Argoo.
Only Jérôme was left on the scene. Bonaparte, Count Argoo, and two teams of policemen.
"Your Majesty, we ......" the sheriff dared to Jerome. Bonaparte said.
"I almost forgot, and you!" Jérôme. Bobonaparte smiled and said to the sheriff, "Go back and tell you the chief, don't be blinded by money!" Behind the money is likely to be a bottomless trap! ”
"Yes! Be! I will convey His Majesty's words to the Director! The sheriff nodded in response.
"Go back!!" Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed to the sheriff.
The two sergeants and more than 20 police officers left the Count of Argou's mansion as if they had been granted amnesty.
After the idlers left, Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Argudo: "Monsieur Argou, do you want to talk?" ”
"Your Majesty, please come in!" Count Argaux invited Jérôme. Bonaparte entered the room, and then asked the servant to prepare dinner: "If you don't dislike it......"
"I also wanted to try how the dinner at the gentleman's house is different from the dinner at the Tuileries!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Count Argoo, still with a smile on his face.
"I'm afraid it's nowhere near as good as your dinner at the Tuileries Palace!" Count Argu said softly.
"Not necessarily!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged.
In fact, Jérôme. Bonaparte usually prepared two recipes at the Tuileries Palace, one for the arrival of important ministers, with a wide variety of dishes and a complete range of dishes, and the other for his own dishes, which were far inferior in variety and style to those prepared at banquets.
However, it is better to have a balanced nutrition.
Under the leadership of Count Algou, Jérôme. Bonaparte entered the interior of the mansion.
"Your Majesty, please be seated!" Count Argou stretched out his hand to invite Jérôme. Bonaparte sat down, walked alone to his desk, and took out two flints and a piece of origami from a drawer.
After the sparks from the friction of the flints ignited the origami, Count Algourse opened the kerosene lampshade on his desk, lit the wick of the kerosene lamp, and then closed the lampshade again and brought the kerosene lamp to Jérôme. Bonaparte in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the light here is a little dim! Please forgive me! Count Argu apologized again.
"Nothing!" Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand, then looked at the kerosene lamp in the hand of the Count of Argu, and said half-jokingly: "I didn't expect you, a dignified director of the Bank of France, to use things for ordinary people!" ”
"Your Majesty, when I was a child, my father often used my grandfather as an example to warn me to be frugal!" The Count of Argour sat in Jérôme. Said Bonaparte on the other side.
"Oh? Mr. Algu, so your grandfather was a very frugal man? "Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at the Count of Argou in amazement.
"Your Majesty, my grandfather was just an ordinary wine merchant with the army!" Count of Argourne against Jérôme. Bonaparte explained: "Our family only got involved in banking in my father's generation, and it can be said that the development of banking is inseparable from my father!" ”
"I see!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded and said, "In this way, your family and Baron Rothschild's family have basically the same family history!" ”
"Part of it is the same!" Count Argyu nodded, and then turned to Jérôme. Bonaparte asked, "Your Majesty, you have come to me on purpose, I am afraid that you did not come to inquire about my family history!" ”
Jérôme. Bonaparte, of course, understood what Count Argou meant, and he nodded and replied to Count Argoo: "Mangne has told me everything!" I don't want to argue about right and wrong, but I want you to pull the empire in a difficult time! ”
"Thank you for your generosity! I will give a part of the gold to the Banque de France as a reserve! "Count Argou for Jérôme. Bonaparte's magnanimity was grateful.
The Count of Argoo privately ordered his banks to exchange their sterling bonds for gold, causing panic in the pound in Jérôme. Bonaparte is also a turning page here.
Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Count Argourne what he thought of the bankers gathering in the hall just now.
"They want me to stand up to you!" Count Argou was blunt about Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
"Then why don't you stand up! If I were in your position, I would lead them to force the government to make concessions! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said with interest to the Count of Argour.
In fact, he still expected Count Argu to lead the bankers against him, so that he would have a reason to extort them fiercely.
Count Argu replied in a flat tone: "I'm just a mediocre person who is slightly luckier than others, and I don't want to be used as a spear by them!" Not to mention, the power of the Banque de France alone is not at all able to shake a stable government, and those guys have long forgotten the horrors of the revolution! ”
For the Counts of Argou, who lived through two revolutions (1830 and 1848), the damage caused by the revolution far outweighed the benefits they could gain.
No far-sighted banker can say that he will survive the next revolution, and doing everything in his power to maintain the stability of the existing system is the best outcome.
Even if the Count of Argaux looks at Jérôme again. Bonaparte was unhappy, and after the displeasure, the Count of Argou still had to work hard for the survival of the empire.
A revolution is like a blind box, and you never know if the next regime will be good or bad.
"Then Mr. Argu, which of those people do you think will be on my side, and which ones will be diehards!" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked the Count of Argoo.
"Your Majesty, no one is a diehard!" Count of Argourne against Jérôme. Bonaparte replied: "They are only defending their own interests!" Once they think they can only take this knife, they will grit their teeth and stand on the side of the winner! ”
"Conservative financial policies do not protect their interests! On the contrary, it will hurt the entire French economy! "Jérôme. Bonaparte emphasized.
"Your Majesty, this method of yours is only delaying the economy! Once the war is over, a large number of factories will be on the verge of bankruptcy! "Count Argou to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.
Count Argourne was not right at all, Jérôme. What Bonaparte did was nothing more than perpetuating the crisis, and Keynesianism was not about solving the economic crisis of capitalism, but about delaying the emergence of the economic crisis of capitalism.
During this period, there is the risk of high debt, and the massive increase in infrastructure and military ancillary industries is tantamount to tying the entire French population to the war machine, just like Hitler did after World War II.
It's just that Hitler didn't have Jérôme. With such good luck as Bonaparte, the upcoming second industrial revolution will give a breath of relief to France, which is mired in debt.
The Kingdom of Prussia would also be a sacrifice for France to ease its debts.
That's right! The Crimean War was not the end of the Francian military adventure, but the beginning of an adventure.
It's just that the vast majority of French people today don't see this, and elite politicians like the Comte d'Argou see only the tip of the iceberg.
If he had known about the existence in Jérôme. The crazy plan in Bonaparte's mind, he will definitely pull this madman down at all costs.
"Undeniable! Large-scale credit is indeed eating food, but we must stick to it! "Jérôme. Bonaparte spread his hands and said helplessly: "From the moment we stepped into the battlefield in the Crimea, we had no way back!" Either the empire was destroyed in the Paris uprising triggered by the defeat, or the empire won a respite from successive victories. Mr. Algu, if it were you, what would you choose? ”
