Morny was extremely excited as he listened to Jérôme Bonaparte draw the railway blueprint for him.
Of course, he was not excited about the railway itself, but about the rolling interest brought by the railway.
Not to mention anything else, just "delineating some qualified companies" and what companies are qualified to issue stock debt, the twists and turns in this can last for many days.
Not to mention that the Road and Bridge Corps provides a large amount of guidance and procurement to private companies, and there are also many ways to deal with safety performance issues.
Molny, who was able to draw inferences from one action and think of the follow-up, blurted out: "Follow-up public maintenance is also a big expense, and the Department of Public Works has the obligation to inject funds into the follow-up public maintenance!"
"That's right!" Looking at Morny who was gradually getting on the "right track", Jérôme Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction: "The Railway Commission can issue bonds at the right time to act as public maintenance funds. For a country with stable finances,
Generally speaking, some debt problems are more conducive to the operation of the government."
Jerome Bonaparte gave an example: "I once heard a joke that if you owe the bank 1,000 francs, the bank will force you to pay it back. If you owe the bank 10 million francs, the bank will treat you as a
Provide it like an uncle."
"That's right!" The huge interests have made Morny completely forget about the negative railway remarks he just made. He just wants to establish a railway committee as soon as possible, and then make some "contributions" to the country as much as possible.
"Mr. Morny, I hope you can write a report on the plan for forming a railway commission and then give it to Prime Minister Barrow!"
Jérôme Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction. He retracted his hand from the table, retracted his upper body and assumed a relaxed posture, and then raised his hand to press his temples to relieve the mental pressure.
"Will Barrow really approve this plan? Now he is worried about France's finances!" Morny frowned, he was a little unsure of Barrow's attitude.
"Politics is politics, business is business!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Morny in a strange tone: "Besides, building railways is politically correct! We are also doing this for the stability of France, and again
Even meek people turn into thugs when faced with unemployment!”
"That's right! This is all for France!" Morny responded impassionedly. At this moment, he seemed to have become a noble man, a man who prayed for the people, and a man who risked his life.
.
If you observe carefully, you will find the greed in Morny's eyes.
How can a greedy guy become a truly noble person?
"Okay! It's time for me to get off work! You can discuss the relevant legal provisions with our Minister Rue! We must avoid the provisions that are unfavorable to us as much as possible!" Jérôme Bonaparte stood up and stretched
He moved his body and waved his hands to signal Morny and Eugène Rouet to leave.
Rouet and Morny, who were holding top hats, looked at each other, stood up, bowed to Jérôme Bonaparte, and then turned and left together.
When the two were about to leave, Jerome Bonaparte suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
Eugène Rouet and Morny turned to look at Jérôme Bonaparte, and Eugène Rouet said: "Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?"
"After the Railway Commission's plan is formulated! Don't hand it over to Prime Minister Barrow first. Prime Minister Barrow is now preparing for the relevant work on "restoring the salt tax"!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to the two men.
"yes!"
The two left the Elysee Palace study, leaving Jérôme Bonaparte alone in the study.
It was already 3:40 in the afternoon, and it was already dusk outside the window.
The biting cold wind beat mercilessly against the glass windows of the Elysee Palace, making a "crackling" sound, and a few snowflakes sprinkled from the clouds to the land of Paris. The real winter is coming at this moment.
After a while, night also fell quietly. As night fell, the snow became heavier and heavier. The snow particles turned into snowflakes and rolled down all over the sky. They fell gently like goose feathers on the roof of the Elysee Palace and stuck to the study.
on the glass window.
Pesini, who was holding a kerosene lamp, carefully opened the door of the study. The weak kerosene light revived Jerome Bonaparte from his wandering mind.
"Your Majesty, it's snowing!" Pesini reminded in a low voice as he placed the kerosene lamp next to the desk.
"Huh?" Jérôme Bonaparte turned his head and glanced at the window lattice behind him, and nodded: "Yes! It's snowing!"
…
It snowed intermittently for several days, and the whole of Paris was shrouded in white.
Wealthy families put on heavy cotton clothes and gathered around burning charcoal fireplaces to talk about the past and present.
Poor people cuddle up together and use each other's body heat to keep each other warm.
Although it was extremely cold in Paris this year, the atmosphere in the National Assembly Hall at the Palais Bourbon was extremely anxious.
Since Prime Minister Barrow submitted a proposal on "restoring the salt tax" to the National Assembly on January 15, in the following days, the National Assembly closed in a noisy environment every day.
Even though Marast, as speaker, has repeatedly emphasized that the National Assembly should remain silent, no political party is willing to obey his arrangement.
For the Republicans, Prime Minister Barrow, who takes "restoration of the salt tax" as the first step in cabinet governance, is simply a perfect target. They occupy a certain proportion of the National Assembly and can use this opportunity to unite to kill two birds with one stone - both.
It can take this opportunity to overthrow the cabinet, and it can also use it to pretend to protect the interests of the farmers and attack the person chosen by the farmers (referring to President Jérôme Bonaparte)
As expected, the reinstatement of the salt tax was rejected by the Republicans and the Montagnards in the National Assembly.
At the same time, members of the Republican and Montagnard constitutional committees in the National Assembly cast a "no-confidence motion" on Barrow in a silent manner. The Party of Order, which did not yet hold a majority in the National Assembly, was also unable to help Odilon Barrow.
.
[Constitutional Committee: After the June Revolution, a small number of members of the National Assembly were elected to write the constitution, and most of them were republican members.]
If Barrow does not fight back, he will be dismissed by the National Assembly from the position of prime minister less than a month after he took over.
January 15, 1849.
Unable to bear it, Barrow went to the Elysee Palace, and under the leadership of Pesini, he found Jérôme Bonaparte who was listening to the veterans telling the story of the Emperor and Queen Joseph at Malmaison Castle and said murderously: "Mr. President, I beg you
Ban the clubs, suspend the functions of the city government, and disband the Einsatzgruppe!"
