Chapter 987 The Ideal and Reality of the Agricultural College
Cavour, who had been given the location of the Emperor, did not stop for a moment, and quickly left the embassy and hurried in the direction of the train station, which he had to buy until the nearest train.
And this scene happened to be discovered by the Ministry of the Interior surveillance personnel squatting around the Sardinian embassy, they followed Cavour from a distance, and when Cavour finished buying the train ticket and left, the Ministry of the Interior surveillance personnel secretly took out their documents and asked the conductor which train Cavour had bought.
The conductor had a frightened look on his face when he saw that it was the sign of the Ministry of Home Affairs, and then stumbled to tell them.
Members of the Interior Ministry, who had heard which train Cavour was going to take, quickly left the train station ticket gate, but before leaving, they did not forget to threaten the conductor to keep it a secret.
The conductor nodded in fright, then watched them leave.
Then, back at the Home Office, they informed the Home Secretary of the matter, Pessini, of the news.
A look of surprise flashed across Persini's face when she heard this, and then she said to them with a smile on her face, "Thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard! It's not hard!" The watchdog replied with a flattering look on his face.
Later, after praising them verbally, Pessini gave them a tactful order to expel them
After the surveillances left, Pessini called his secretary again and ordered him to immediately report to Jérôme. The nearest telegraph office in Bonaparte sent a telegram.
"Understood!" After receiving the order, the secretary quickly went to the telegraph office under the Ministry of the Interior.
After a while, the secretary, who had sent the telegram, returned to Pessini's office.
……
The telegram from Paris to the telegraph office near the Loire Valley finally arrived in Jérôme after nearly ten minutes of rapid travel in the vicinity of the Loire region. Bonaparte's neighborhood.
Jérôme at the moment. Bonaparte and Augusta, accompanied by the Loire-Céell department*** in the Centre de France, are visiting the agricultural "university" established in the provincial capital of Blois.
Enter the Jérôme campus. Bonaparte looked at the students walking back and forth in the university, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
Later, he recruited a student and asked him about his family, his major, and why he chose to major in agriculture.
The student stumbled to answer Jérôme. Bonaparte's problem, it turned out that the student chose to study agriculture because his family could no longer afford to send him to Paris to study.
It coincided with the opening of an agricultural college in the department of Blois, and the local government also reduced his tuition fees, so he became a farmer.
Immediately afterwards, Jérôme. Bonaparte then asked him if he would like to continue working in agriculture after graduation.
Faced with such a question, the students were obviously hesitant to answer.
Jérôme. Bonaparte immediately encouraged, "There is nothing to hide! Even if you say that you want to eat and wait for death, I can understand that!
I think that's what I was aiming for!"
Students in the Jérôme. After Bonaparte's answer, he plucked up the courage to say that his first goal was to pass the examination to enter the imperial system and become the imperial tax officer, and the second goal was to go to the big cities.
If he really can't, he might consider going home to farming. ….
After listening to the students' answers, Jérôme. Bonaparte's eyes couldn't help but be a little dark.
In both the 21st century and the modern era, agriculture students are rarely willing to return to farming.
However, Jérôme. Bonaparte was understandably the choice they made, and in this era of change, returning to their homeland to work as a farmer was undoubtedly the worst option.
Even the Junker aristocracy, who were born and raised next door, are not looking for ways to reinvest the profits from agricultural output to double their assets.
Therefore, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not want to be too demanding that they have to return to their countryside to farm.
"Looks like you've made your own plans!" Jérôme. Bonaparte patted him lightly on the shoulder with his hand and said in a solemn tone, "The future of the empire is ours, and it is yours as well
Target!
I'm looking forward to seeing you do something big!"
After that, Jérôme. Bonaparte ordered Lucien, who was following him. Murat handed a beautifully wrapped gift to the student in front of him.
The students, after receiving the gifts, were a little overwhelmed. Bonaparte smiled and said to him, "This is my graduation gift to you in advance!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The province of Scheer quickly opened his mouth and urged.
"Thank you......" The student just wanted to speak, but was overshadowed by Jérôme. Bonaparte stopped, "No thanks!"
The student swallowed the words of thanks again, and then waited for Jérôme with a tense face. Bonaparte commanded.
"Now, you can leave!" Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand and replied to the student,
After the students have left, the province of Schel *** runs to Jérôme. In front of Bonaparte, he said respectfully, "Your Majesty, there are still many students who are willing to return to their hometowns to engage in agriculture!"
Jérôme. Bonaparte restrained his smile and replied with a blank face, "Mr. ***, you don't need to explain!
It was true that I had established the Faculty of Agriculture to promote the development of agriculture in France, but I also knew that agriculture was far less profitable than industry, so there must be a large number of agricultural professionals who were reluctant to devote themselves to agriculture.
I can understand all of this, so what we need to do is not to force them to farm, but to make agriculture as profitable as possible.
Only in this way will more people be willing to devote themselves to agriculture.
Only by doing a good job in agriculture can the empire be able to gain the support of the vast majority of the people living in this land.
……」
Jérôme. Bonaparte gushed about the necessity of doing agriculture well and how it can be done well.
After about 5 minutes of speaking, Jérôme. Empress Augusta, who was beside Bonaparte, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and she took advantage of the fact that Jérôme. Bonaparte paused for the moment and spoke to Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "Your Majesty, let's go and visit the experimental base first!"
"Yes! Okay!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smacked his lips, nodded with a hint of regret, and then ordered the province of Schel *** to lead the way.
Under the leadership of the province of Sher, Jérôme. Bonaparte and others arrived at the experimental base in the backyard of the Agricultural University...... No, it's more like a manor than an experimental base, when Jérôme. After Bonaparte and the others entered the experimental base, the gardener in charge of guarding the experimental base stopped them. ….
Seeing this, the province of Scheer loudly reprimanded the gardener who was guarding the experimental base.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man with a slightly strong body came to Jérôme. Bonaparte and the others were beside him, and he first asked Jérôme. Bonaparte made amends and then reported himself home.
Jérôme. Only then did Bonaparte know that the man in front of him was the president of the agricultural university.
When the gardener guarding the experimental base saw the headmaster arrive, he quickly opened the door. Bonaparte and the others were able to enter the experimental base.
Jérôme after entering the base. At first glance, Bonaparte saw the arch-shaped trellises of the base.
The Rector of the Faculty of Agriculture hurried to the post of Jérôme. Bonaparte said that the grape trellises in front of him were cultivated by the students of the Faculty of Agriculture, mainly to exercise the students' hands-on ability.
Looking at the grape trellis in front of him, Jérôme. Bonaparte was reminded of the historical catastrophe caused by phylloxeras, which directly caused the depression of the French grape industry.
However, due to the time of the disaster in the late 60s of the 19th century, Jérôme. Bonaparte could only say one word to the rector, "You agricultural colleges, you must pay close attention to the state of the grapes!"
A small grape is about the economy of our whole France!"
"Yes!" Despite the fact that the rector of the Faculty of Agriculture did not understand Jérôme. Bonaparte meant, but he nodded in understanding.
Then, the rector of the Faculty of Agriculture wanted to lead Jérôme. Bonaparte and Empress Augusta went to the interior of the experimental base.
Just then, an entourage dressed in imperial costume appeared in Jérôme.
Behind Bonaparte and others, and towards Lucien, who was in the rear. Murat reported.
Lucien. Murat's face changed slightly after hearing the report of his entourage, and he hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte in front of Jérôme. Bonaparte reported, "Your Majesty, there is a telegram from Paris!"
Jérôme. Bonaparte's expression immediately became serious, and he turned to the principal of the school to apologize, "Please forgive me for not being able to continue the tour!"
The headmaster of the academy, who had not yet shown his results to the emperor, was very sorry in his heart, and for now he could only smile at Jerome. Bonaparte responded, "Your Majesty, it is a pleasure for you to visit us with Her Majesty the Empress!"
Jérôme. Bonaparte, Augusta and the others left the academy under the farewell of the academy headmaster, and when he returned to the hotel, he immediately asked Lucien. Murat said, "Where's the telegram?"
Lucien. Murat glanced at his entourage, who hurried to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded, "Your Majesty, the telegram has been placed in the study!"
"Yes!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded, then went into the study, picked up the telegram on the begging table, and read it.
"What's wrong? Is something happening in Paris? Do you need to go back now?" Immediately following Jérôme. Empress Augusta, who entered the study after Bonaparte, asked.
Jérôme. Bonaparte put down the telegram and said lightly, "Nothing! The telegram said that the Prime Minister of Sardinia, Cavour, had bought a train ticket to come here and was expected to arrive the day after tomorrow!"
"Cavour!" Empress Augusta immediately showed a look of disgust on her face when she heard Cavour, "He doesn't ban liberalism in Sardinia, what is he doing in France!"
"What else can I do! Of course, I beg us to let Sardinia go!" Jérôme. Bonaparte shrugged his shoulders and replied.
"Spare Sardinia?" Empress Augusta sneered, "Why didn't they think of this when they were planning the assassination!"
"Cavour didn't plan an assassination!" Jérôme. Bonaparte "corrected".
