"Mr. Emir, could you please tell me what your purpose is in doing this? If you do that, won't you two brothers get everything? ”

Augusta looked at the Perel brothers in front of her with a puzzled expression, she was a little puzzled by Emile. Perel's thoughts.

If the Bank of Luxembourg belonged to her and Jérôme, then the Emir. Perel: Aren't they working in vain?

If bankers are not here to make money, are they doing charity?

"Your Majesty, my brother Yin Sak and I. Perel, like His Majesty, was a staunch Saint-Simonist (his emir. Perel did not know that Jérôme. Bonaparte embraced Keynesianism. "Emir. Perel reverently responded, as if he were a Christian: "I think the role of banks is not only to make enough profits, but more importantly to alleviate or even eradicate poverty, and a country full of poverty will only breed countless extremists!" ”

"Mr. Emir! If you really want to alleviate poverty, you should do charity! "Augusta to the Emile. Perel said.

Emir. Perel shook his head and replied to Augusta, "Your Majesty, I beg your pardon! In the past many centuries, we have always relied on charity and charity to alleviate poverty over and over again, but this practice has always treated the symptoms rather than the root cause, but will increase the burden on society, thus causing greater turmoil, only to encourage industrial development, so as to create more jobs, and use science and education to not only make scientific progress, but even workers can participate in investment and share the benefits, and plan for retirement income......"

Emir. Perel put himself in the position of a meat eater.

However, Empress Augusta was not disgusted with the emir. Bankers like Perel, because compared to bankers who only know how to make profits, which leads to more bankruptcies, Emile. Perel's rhetoric was clearly much better.

"Your Majesty, my brother and I have earned enough money over the years to survive for generations, as long as our descendants don't spend money lavistly, so we hope to be able to do something meaningful for society as a whole in our lifetime!" Emir. Perel replied to Empress Augusta with a solemn expression.

Empress Augusta pondered for a moment, then still smiling at the Emir. Perel & Yin Sak. Perel replied: "Mr. Emir, I'm afraid I can't tell you the result at once!" Because the problems of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are not a trivial matter!

However, rest assured, I will tell you the results as soon as I have asked the leaders of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg! You'll be patient for a few days! ”

"Your Majesty, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with us!" Emir. Perel thanked Empress Augusta.

"Mr. Emir, I have also learned a lot from meeting you!" Augusta also responded politely, "I sincerely hope that there will be more and more bankers like you in society, and the vast majority of bankers today are only concerned with their own immediate interests, forgetting the country to which they are attached." Some people are desperately trying to hollow out the country, don't they really know that once the country is hollowed out and collapsed, they will not be much better! ”

Empress Augusta's complaint made the emir. Perel felt that it was worth it for him to take his brother on this trip.

Emir. Perel didn't need the queen's unconditional support for him, he just needed the queen to lean towards them between him and the Banque de France.

Of course, the bank of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg will be owned by His Majesty Napoleon, who is far away in the Crimea.

However, the emir. Perel is still confident that he can beat the Banque de France.

After all, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is still an independent state.

Subsequently, the emir. Perel pulled out a beautifully crafted gift box from his bosom.

Holding the gift box in both hands, he held it up in front of Empress Augusta, "Your Majesty, this is a gift from me and my brother!" Please be sure to take it! ”

"This ......" Empress Augusta glanced at the closed gift box, she hesitated for a moment, and then refused: "Although I don't know exactly what's inside, I'm sure that the contents must be valuable, so allow me to refuse it!" ”

"Your Majesty, please take it!" Emir. Perel still held the gift box in both hands and said to Queen Augusta complimentally: "Only a noble person like you can have it!" ”

"Honorable? Perhaps! Empress Augusta smiled and muttered in a whisper.

Since the emir. Perel had already said this, and Augusta would indeed be a bit pretentious if he didn't accept the gift again.

"Mr. Emir, I promise to accept your gift!" Empress Augusta vs. Emir. Perel said: "However, I also hope that you will promise me one thing! ”

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Emir. Perel replied to Empress Augusta.

"I want you and your brother to accept the knighthood!" Empress Augusta vs. Emir. Perel said, "Your contribution to the Empire is obvious to all, so please don't shirk this honor!" ”

Emir. Perel hesitated for a moment, and to be honest, he didn't particularly care about the title himself.

After all, the canonization of a baron did not bring him any good, but rather caused him to suffer some malice in the social arenas of some nobles.

Some of them had no money, but the nobles had a particularly high title, and they liked to mock the bankers who were canonized as barons at banquets.

By the way, in the 19th century, French titles were like loans issued by banks in a certain country, and for those who really wanted the title, but their strength was not up to standard, the issuance of French titles was always deducted and searched.

For some people who meet the standard of strength, the role of the knighthood is not as good as the relationship between them and the monarch.

Especially Jérôme. After Bonaparte took the helm of France, the way French bankers bought national bonds changed from one or two powerful bankers to the whole people.

The imperial government's dependence on bankers was much less than that of the two Bourbon generations, and it was all the more important to maintain relations with the monarchy.

However, in order to maintain the goodwill between Empress Augusta and the Emperor, Emile. Perel chose to accept it anyway.

Subsequently, Empress Augusta told the emir. Perel, who will be canonized as a baron by the Grand Duke of Luxembourg!

Hear the emir of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg. Perel was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered what the Empress said about the Grand Duke of Luxembourg not His Majesty.

Does His Majesty imply that His Majesty did not canonize them barons in the name of the French Empire, but instead canonized them as the Grand Duke of Luxembourg?

"Mr. Emir, Mr. Yin Sak, I hope that after you are canonized as nobles, you two will be able to do your part for the Principality of Luxembourg!" Empress Augusta hinted almost nakedly at the emir. Perel & Yin Sak. Perrell Tract.

Emir. Perel nodded hurriedly, indicating that as a baron canonized by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, he should do his part for the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, but they should do their best.

"Recently, the Luxembourg Commonwealth has issued a batch of government bonds, mainly to improve the infrastructure of the Principality of Luxembourg! It's just that the situation in the Principality of Luxembourg is a bit complicated, and the interest rate may be a little low, around 3%! Empress Augusta sighed to the emir. Perel said.

For the emir. For Perel, the interest rate on the government bonds issued by the Principality of Luxembourg is indeed somewhat low (4%-5% in France during the same period, 3%-7% in the Kingdom of Britain, and 10% if the Russian Empire is not afraid of death), but this is also in line with the conditions of the Principality of Luxembourg itself.

Because the Principality of Luxembourg itself has no resources other than forests, there is no other way to build railways and roads than to borrow money.

Of course, the citizens of the Principality of Luxembourg should have rushed to rejoice that they have welcomed a "little father" who will lead them to the road to fortune.

The French Empire could keep the Duchy of Luxembourg fed by a little thing.

"Rest assured! I know what to do! "Emir. Perel replied solemnly.

Then, Empress Augusta and the Emile. Perel, Yin Sak. Perel had a moment of small talk from Emir. According to Perel, Empress Augusta learned of his "great achievements" in the Austrian Empire (taking away the Prague to Buda Pest railway line from the Rothschild Bank in Austria, second only to Vienna to Budapest).

She reminded the emir. Perel's investments in the Austrian Empire had to be taken into account not only economic, but also political.

After all, relations between the Austrian Empire and the French Empire would remain allied for a short time.

If you lose an alliance because of a little money, it will be more than worth the loss.

Moreover, the Austrian Empire itself was a relatively well-resourced country, suitable for making money for a long time.

"I will relay your words to the head of Austria!" Emir. Perel replied to Augusta.

With a knock at the door, Empress Augusta and the Perel brothers (the whole time was the Emir. Perel talks, Yin Sak. Perel's role is to act as a backdrop, and the conversation also came to an abrupt end.

"Please come in!" Empress Augusta replied as she sat down outside the door.

The door opened, and Mocal entered the room, and after glancing at the Perel brothers in the room, he had a hesitant expression on his face, as if he wanted to avoid the Perel brothers.

Seeing this, the Perel brothers hurriedly told Empress Augusta that they had been bothering the Empress for a long time, and it was time to leave.

With that, the Perel brothers got up and left, and Augusta ordered Mocal to send the Perel brothers out of the Douilleri Palace.
