"I hope that after Austria's victory over Prussia, the Rhineland region will be able to give France some convenience!"

The Count of Baul finally understood Jérôme. What exactly did Bonaparte want.

After a long time of trouble, the French Empire still gave up its ambitions for the left bank of the Rhineland.

But that's fine! The Austrian Empire did not have to worry about involving the French Empire when the Kingdom of Prussia was repaired in the future.

Count Bauer thought silently in his heart.

"What do you think of my proposal, Count Bauer?" Jérôme. Bonaparte's voice reached the ears of the Count of Baul, "I can support the Austrian Empire to take Silesia and regain its hegemony in Germany!"

And the Austrian Empire only needs to transfer some of the land that is not your own to us! ”

"Your Majesty, this is not a matter for me as a foreign minister to decide!" Count Bauer vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

"I know!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded and said to Count Baul, "You only need to tell Franz what I said to you. Joseph will do it!

Trust me, I won't treat you badly! ”

"Your Majesty, I will tell your Majesty about your words!" Count Bauer vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"That's it! We've been talking for a long time! If we don't go back, they'll think we're plotting something shady!" "Jérôme. Bonaparte ended the conversation decisively.

Isn't it?

The Count of Bauer replied, still with a humble expression on his face. Bonaparte replied, "Yes! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Count Bauer returned to the banquet hall one after the other.

Guests in the banquet hall are seen in Jérôme. After Bonaparte, again Jérôme. Surrounded by Bonaparte, with Jérôme. Bonaparte talks.

The Earl of Baul was also stopped by the British Foreign Secretary, Earl Clarendon, and after the two talked for a while, the Earl of Clarendon, knowing that he could not get effective information from the mouth of the Earl of Baul, left.

……

The banquet lasted almost four hours before it ended. Bonaparte and Augusta shook hands with each of the foreign ministers in turn, and then sent their blessings.

When Jérôme. When Bonaparte shook hands with the last guest, Cavour, Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced at Cavour and said lightly, "Monsieur Cavour, I have just had a brief exchange with Monsieur Bower on the question of Lombardy and Venice!" ”

"Your Majesty, what does Count Bauer say?" Count Cavour asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Mr. Baul told me that the Austrian Empire has no intention of abandoning these two regions in the near future, so the Kingdom of Sardinia will have to wait a while!" Jérôme. Bonaparte tried to speak to Cavour in euphemistic language.

After listening to Jérôme. Bonaparte's words, Cavour looked slightly lost.

Although Cavour himself had always told himself that he could not hope for a peaceful redemption, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart for a peaceful redemption.

If the Austrian Empire, under the power of the French Empire, was willing to buy it peacefully, then everything would have been better.

So in Jérôme. When Bonaparte told him that the negotiations had failed, he was still feeling a little depressed and lost.

"Your Majesty, on behalf of the Kingdom of Sardinia, I thank you for speaking up for the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Cavour vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"Mr. Cavour!" Jérôme. Bonaparte continued: "Since Lombardy will not be able to return for a short time, I myself hope that you will consider what I have said to you before!

The future of the Kingdom of Sardinia should not be confined to the Apennine Peninsula, there is a vast world beyond the Apennine Peninsula waiting to be explored! ”

"Your Majesty, I will give you an answer as soon as possible!" Cavour vs. Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

"By the way, there's one more thing!" Jérôme. Bonaparte suddenly remembered that he had one more important thing to tell Cavour: "I will hold a seminar on the European Monetary Union in October of this year!" I hope the Kingdom of Sardinia will not forget! ”

"I see, Your Majesty!" Cavour nodded again at Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"That's it! That's all I have to say! "Jérôme. Bonaparte let go of Cavour's hand, "Go back and rest early!" ”

Count Cavour to Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed and left the Tuileries Palace.

Jérôme who watched Cavour leave. After Bonaparte stretched his body, he yawned and said to Empress Augusta beside him: "It's not too early!" It's time for us to go back and rest! ”

Empress Augusta and Jérôme. Bonaparte returned to the bedroom arm in arm.

……

Early the next morning, some newspapers in Paris, London, Vienna, Berlin, and even St. Petersburg carried the news that the peace treaty had been officially signed and implemented.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the artillery of Les Invalides in Paris sounded again, and this artillery completely announced the complete end of the Crimean War, which lasted for more than a year.

The French Empire and the Kingdom of Britain won the war by sheer superiority, which not only turned the Russian Empire, which had been a single entity, into two governments, but also forced them to lose Poland, Finland, the Crimean Peninsula and Bessarabia. (Strictly speaking, the territory of Bessarabia has not been lost, but the demilitarization of Bessarabia is indeed a shame.)

The Russian Empire can be said to have experienced humiliation that it has never experienced since Peter the Great.

And the French Empire once again told the whole of Europe with practical actions that even if the French Empire experienced a defeat, it was still the strongest army in the whole of Europe.

Jérôme. Bonaparte also gained unprecedented prestige by stepping on the body of the Russian Empire.

For the next week, tens of thousands of people gathered on the streets of Paris every day, and the cafés and restaurants became very popular.

The Century Exposition also took advantage of the signing of the Paris Peace Treaty, attracting a large number of foreign tourists.

When the Ministry of Finance handed over the revenues of Paris for the whole of April to Jérôme. In the hands of Bonaparte, Jérôme. Bonaparte was surprised to find that April's fiscal revenues were 10% higher than those of Paris in April of the previous year.

You must know that the fiscal revenue in April of the previous year was the income that was maintained by relying on a large area of water discharge.

And today's April fiscal revenue is entirely based on the strong influence of Paris itself.

Jérôme who finished reading the financial statements. Bonaparte had more confidence in Paris, and as long as Paris remained the holiday center of Europe's elites, it would no longer need to worry about finances.

The cost of the lavish mansions and streets was entirely paid for by the European elites, and the people of Paris were able to live much better than the rest of the world just by eating the dividends brought by the elites.

As long as the bread in the hands of the Parisian people had not been greatly affected, the revolution in Paris would not have been repeated.

After all, only someone with nothing would be willing to fight for their lives.

Those glamorous gentlemen will not block their lives in an ethereal revolution.

In Jérôme. In Bonaparte's mind, the future Paris would not only become an industrial city, but also a service city.

Hence Jérôme. Once again, Bonaparte summoned Baron Haussmann, a high-ranking official in the Seine, to speak with him.

"I want to make Paris a megacity, make it one of the brightest pearls in Europe!

Only in this way will we be able to attract more and more wealthy people to settle in Paris and guide them to spend! ”

After listening to Jérôme. After Bonaparte's ambition to build a European pearl, Baron Ottoman was also very excited.

So Baron Haussmann once again asked Jérôme. Bonaparte made a request for the annexation of the periphery of the Seine.

Faced with the demands of the Ottoman baron, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not get carried away, he decisively refused the request of the Ottoman baron, and then warned the Ottoman baron to seek expansion after the existing area was put in order.

Baron Ottoman had no choice but to agree to Jérôme. Bonaparte suggested, temporarily suppressing the idea of continuing to expand abroad.

Subsequently, Jérôme. Bonaparte told Baron Haussmann to move the chemical industry (mainly the pigments used to color silk fabrics) away from the Seine, so that the chemical industry must not endanger the lives of Parisian citizens, and asked about the running water and public carriages in Paris.

Baron Ottoman told Jérôme. Bonaparte, in Isaac. Thanks to the efforts of Société Géribépa, where Perel works, all the small and medium-sized water companies in Paris have been completely merged into a single Conzern group, which is responsible for supplying the citizens of Paris with drinking water.

"You're going to tell Isaac. Perel, the price of drinking water should not be too high! The long stream of water that you know is the king! "Jérôme. Bonaparte reminded again.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Baron Ottoman patted his chest to Jérôme. Bonaparte assured that the water used by the inhabitants of Paris would be cheaper than before.

And the public carriage is also made by Isaac. Perel was responsible, and the public carriage was only slightly more expensive than before.

However, it is more than a little more comfortable than before.

"Then I'm relieved!" Jérôme. Bonaparte patted Baron Osman's shoulder and said to him: "Osman, you have been working hard for a few years!" When Paris is completed, I will promote you to Minister of State!" ”

"Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Baron Ottoman excitedly to Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"That's right! One more thing, Prince Albert and Queen Victoria may visit Paris for the Century Fair!

When the time comes, if I can't pull away! You, the high-ranking official of the Seine, will receive them in my place! ”
