"First of all, the first point of the gold coin should not have my face printed on the obverse, we are going to face the whole of Europe, not the currency of France alone, and if you only print my head, it will have a bad effect......"

Jérôme. Bonaparte explained slowly to the Count of Argou why he had let him.

The Count of Argu gradually realized that his emperor not only wanted to unify the gold content of the currency, but also had the ambition to unify the issuance of the currency.

If the countries that joined the European Monetary Union really agreed to the new currency introduced by His Majesty the Emperor, then they were giving part of the right to issue currency to the French Empire in disguise.

However, the Count of Argyu thought that such a possibility was too small.

If His Majesty insists on pursuing a new monetary policy, the Count of Argou even doubts that the outcome of this monetary alliance will end in a happy end.

Therefore, Argu considered it his duty to stop the emperor's presumptuousness.

So the Count of Argou tactfully told Jérôme. Bonaparte, the French Empire had better not make a fuss about the issuance of currency.

"Count Argou, you mean I can't come up with the concept of a new currency in the European Monetary Union!" Jérôme. Bonaparte angrily questioned the Count of Argoo.

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant!" The Count of Argour denied it, and then humbly addressed Jérôme. Bonaparte replied: "In the humble opinion of the minister, the most important thing for France to do now is to use the gold content of the currency to re-establish its prestige before the European nations!"

When the time comes, we can set a new monetary standard! ”

"Mr. Algu thinks when is the ripe time!" Jérôme. Bonaparte choked Count Argour.

"Your Majesty, this minister is not very easy to say!" Count of Argourne against Jérôme. Bonaparte replied, "However, I trust that the French Empire will be able to achieve this under your leadership!" ”

"That's it! I see what you mean! "Jérôme. Bonaparte also realized that his goal of creating a common European currency was somewhat unrealistic.

After all, in the previous life, the EU also went through twists and turns to truly achieve unified distribution, and now he has just stepped on the first step of European union and wants to unify the distribution, which is simply an impossible thing to do.

But as a monarch, where will he take the initiative to admit that he is wrong, he can only rely on the method of harmony to end this topic.

"Your Majesty, the minister is also thinking about the empire!" The Count of Argou lowered his profile towards Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.

"Hmmm! I know! "Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Count Argour with the same attitude: "However, I am not satisfied with this gold coin!" The obverse of the coin has been changed to a map of France, and the reverse has been changed to a map of all of Europe! ”

Count Algu had no choice but to nod his head, indicating that he would definitely do what the emperor asked!

Subsequently, the Count of Argour left Jérôme. Bonaparte's study.

Jérôme. Bonaparte sat quietly in his study and muttered quietly, "Am I a little too anxious for quick success!" ”

Indeed, since the European Monetary Union has received a response from various countries (in fact, not many countries), Jérôme . Bonaparte's desire for a European alliance to be built as soon as possible led to his eagerness to formulate part of Europe's future (with a focus on the period from the post-World War II period to the establishment of the European Union) ahead of time, without taking into account the fact that this era was nearly a hundred years away from the future.

Even if the same policy is implemented in the same country, it will become different because of the different environments in which they live.

Just like the issue of unified currency issuance just now, if it hadn't been for the reminder of Count Argu, he would have almost made a big mistake.

"Any policy must be in accordance with the times!" Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but sigh, "You can't carve a boat for a sword at any time!" ”

After that, Jérôme. Bonaparte summoned Mocal and ordered him to go to the mansion of the Count of Argoo to deliver some gifts.

Although the Count of Argou had a lot of money, Jérôme. Bonaparte believed that the Count of Argour, when he saw the gift he had given him, would be even happier than if he had received a large sum of money.

Because a gift is not only a gift, but also a Jérôme. Bonaparte's attitude.

Sure enough, after Mocal went to Count Algu's mansion to deliver his gifts, a smile immediately appeared on Count Algo's face.

"Mr. Mokal, please thank Your Majesty on my behalf!" As he spoke, Count Argu quietly gave Mocal a note.

"Count Argu, please rest assured that I will definitely tell Your Majesty!" Mocal hurriedly assured Count Algo.

In Mocal to Jérôme. When Bonaparte reported, Mocal reported on the countenance of the Count of Argou when he saw the gift.

Jérôme. Bonaparte listened quietly to Mocal's return, and silently estimated in his heart how much Mocal had received from Count Argoo.

Judging from the language of Mocal, the Count of Algour gave Mocal about 50,000 francs.

"That's it! I know! "Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, then waved at Mocal and ordered him to leave.

……

Over the next two days, Jérôme. Bonaparte was constantly receiving visitors from all over the world.

Soon it was time for the start of the European Monetary Union.

At 1 p.m. that day, a scorching sun shrouded the sky over Paris, and the whole of Paris was extremely hot.

It was in this hot and dry weather that the delegates set off in horse-drawn carriages, and their destination was the Louvre, adjacent to the Tuileries Palace.

At 1:30 p.m., envoys from various countries arrived at the gate of the Louvre one after another.

The reporters of the major newspapers in Paris, who were in charge of squatting near the Louvre, directly acted in front of the delegates of various countries, which frightened the delegates of various countries enough.

I have only seen the kind of Sven reporters on weekdays (in this period, except for reporters in Paris, basically they made an appointment and then interviewed alone, while reporters in Paris began to become "shameless" in order to compete for first-hand news due to the influence of some official newspapers) Where have I seen this kind of posture, and in the face of the reporters' questions one after another, some of the delegates' faces showed embarrassment.

Had it not been for the Guards stationed near the Louvre, the delegates would never have been able to enter the Louvre.

Looking at the delegates who entered the Louvre, the reporters had disappointed expressions on their faces.

If the delegates had not entered the Louvre, they would have a hundred ways to block the delegates at the door.

At this moment, a young man appeared in front of the reporters, and he said loudly to the reporters present: "Journalists, reporters! Please be uneasy, we promise to leave you time for your interview after the meeting! ”

"Who are you?" The reporter looked at the young man who came out of the Louvre in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"I am a small clerk in the press office of the Emperor's direct secretary's office, my name is Rastigne!" Rastigne replied slowly to the reporters at the venue.

"Okay! Remember what you say! ”

In the end, the reporters, with Rastigne's assurance, went to the café near the Louvre and waited for the end of the meeting.

Immediately after returning to the Louvre, Rastigne was encouraged by the head of the press office.

……

At 1:40 p.m., the delegates gathered in the Louvre Hall, led by Mocal, arrived in the conference room on the second floor of the Louvre.

The overall style of the meeting room is also in the style of the imperial period, with a round table covered with Turkish wool blankets and 12 blue chairs.

"Delegates, please be seated!" Mocal invited the delegates present to sit down, "Your Majesty and Count Algour will be there soon!" ”

After hearing the name of Count Algu, everyone present was subconsciously stunned for a few seconds.

The appearance of the Count of Arghu with His Majesty the Emperor was something they had not expected.

It was 2 p.m. and Jérôme. Bonaparte and Count Argou appeared in the eyes of the delegates of various countries.

All the delegates rose up to Jerome. Bonaparte salutes, Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced at the delegates present, smiled and said, "Delegates, this time I still only brought a pair of ears!"

All of this will be communicated to you by Mr. Algoo!

However, I'm going to have to say something ugly. No matter what the outcome of this exchange, there is no room for quarrels!

Otherwise, I'll tell the guards to tell you to get out!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone present nodded and said.

Jérôme. Bonaparte glanced at Count Algouse, then at the delegate standing at the round table, and said with a solemn expression: "All right! You can get started! ”

Immediately afterwards, Alguber walked up to the delegates with a strong step, and Jérôme. Bonaparte sat on the throne that had already been set up.

"Delegates, I am honored to be the presiding officer of the European Monetary Union and the representative of France this time......" Count Argyu thanked the delegates present in a calm tone.

The delegates immediately applauded the opening of the Count, and after a while, the Count of Argoo went on to tell the delegates about the glorious history of the Roman Empire and the single monetary policy that had been implemented during the Roman Empire.

Immediately after that, the theme of building a monetary union was introduced through the destruction of the Roman Empire.

"With the fall of the Roman Empire in Europe, so did the diversity of currencies! The multiplicity of currencies has affected the trade and communication between countries, making the European economy an isolated island! This greatly hindered the friendly exchanges between the peoples of Europe, so the establishment of a European-wide monetary union became a top priority! ”
