After de Morny took Jean Dulles and Louis Pasteur to one of the many rooms in the Tuileries Palace, he said goodbye to them and left the room.
De Morny left the guest room, and Jean Dulles once again had a passionate conversation with Louis Pasteur.
But this time, Louis Pasteur was not as enthusiastic as before. During the conversation with Jean Dulles, Louis Pasteur kept looking at the door, as if Jérôme was the next moment.
.It was as if Bonaparte was about to appear in front of him from the other side of the door.
Jean Dulles understood that his student still had too little experience.
Then again, it was beyond Jean Dulles' expectation that Louis Pasteur was invited to the Tuileries Palace at the age of 28.
Jean Dulles seemed to have seen a rising political star, and with a love for talents in his heart, he half-jokingly and half-seriously asked: "Are you interested in taking a position in my department? This is better than being a professor!"
"Ah!" Louis Pasteur was shocked by the sudden olive branch from Jean Dulles. He was originally a "native pig" from the provinces. He was lucky enough to be admitted to the Paris Normal University and started studying, and then he was lucky enough to be recruited as a "local pig".
postgraduate.
But his luck came to an abrupt end when he was a graduate student. Although he achieved some academic success after graduate school, to the outside world, he was just a fledgling boy.
After hitting a wall many times in Paris, he had to leave Paris to fend for himself.
After many obstacles, Louis Pasteur finally came to the University of Strasbourg as a professor. After having a stable job and income, Louis Pasteur started new research.
At the University of Strasbourg, he met and got married to his wife, the daughter of the dean of the university's academic affairs office.
Due to the limitations of Strasbourg's own hardware facilities and early conditions, Louis Pasteur could only choose the March of Suffering.
Then came the collapse of the Kingdom of Orleans and the establishment of the Second Republic. The successive political events did not affect the pace of Louis Pasteur's research. In his opinion, external politics had nothing to do with him.
However, in 1849, a sudden cholera outbreak caused Louis Pasteur to lose his child.
Determined to study chemistry, he also dabbled in medical research.
At this time, he had just begun to study the content of injury and epidemiology, and the limitations of objective conditions made it difficult for him to use his skills.
Jean Dulles's invitation was a fine sugar-coating for Louis Pasteur, who could carry out research work while holding the post of Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce.
Louis Pasteur was confident enough to do two things, or even three things.
After thinking for a moment, Louis Pasteur politely declined Jean Dulles' invitation: "I'm thinking about it!"
Jean Dulles looked at the student in front of him with a smile, and nodded to express his understanding.
"Click!"
While the master and apprentice were talking, the guest room door rang.
Jean Dulles and Louis Pasteur quickly looked at the door of the room, and the figure of Jerome Bonaparte appeared in the eyes of Louis Pasteur and Jean Dulles.
very young!
When Louis Pasteur met Jerome Bonaparte for the first time, his most intuitive impression of Jerome Bonaparte was his youth. The young man in front of him should be about the same age as him.
He became the leader of a country at such a young age!
Louis Pasteur couldn't help but feel envious and admirable for Jerome Bonaparte. Compared with Jerome Bonaparte, one third of Louis Pasteur's life was like living on a dog's body.
Some people yearn for Rome, and some people have been in Rome since birth.
Jérôme Bonaparte also noticed the two people in the guest room. One of them had a gray beard and slightly naturally curly white hair, and a fair and rosy face full of traces of time.
Those pair of deep sky-blue pupils reveal wisdom that has been honed over time.
The other one is younger, probably only about 30 years old, with a straight face showing a hint of anxiety, a plump forehead and middle-parted hair. He looks quite handsome. He wears a straight black coat and an inner
The black vest and white shirt are enough to show that this is a meticulous guy.
If Jerome Bonaparte guessed correctly, the older one should be Jean Dulles, and the younger one should be Louis Pasteur.
"Welcome! Minister Jean Dulles, and Louis Pasteur..." Jérôme Bonaparte quickly walked up to them. After he glanced at Jean Dulles, he focused his gaze
On Louis Pasteur: "Can I call you Professor Pasteur!"
"Sir, just call me Pasteur!" Louis Pasteur had a flattered expression on his face.
"Monsieur Pasteur!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded to Louis Pasteur.
The current Louis Pasteur is still a little green, but Jérôme Bonaparte believes that Louis Pasteur's patriotic enthusiasm will not lose at all to him in the future, and will only be more enthusiastic than before.
"Sit down!" Jérôme Bonaparte invited Jean Dulles and Pasteur to take a seat.
After the three of them sat on the sofa in the guest room, Jérôme Bonaparte turned his attention to Jean Dulles and spoke again: "Minister Jean Dulles, I think you should understand why I
You are invited to assume the important position of Minister of Agriculture and Commerce!”
Jean Dudulus nodded and said: "Of course!"
"So! Mr. Minister, I would like to ask you what you think of French agriculture!" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Jean Dulles a question.
"Our country is a vast agricultural country..." Jean Dulles, who had drafted the draft in his mind, immediately said to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"So what do you think about agricultural cooperatives?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Jean Dulles again.
"Your Excellency, agricultural cooperatives can indeed alleviate the difficulties caused by the fragmentation of land in our country!" Jean Dulles first praised Jérôme Bonaparte's cooperative policy, and then pointed out the shortcomings: "However, this
It may also lead to people with more land concentrating all their land together, and agricultural cooperatives may make some people with small land bankrupt!"
Jean Dulles sharply pointed out the difficulties of agricultural cooperatives. Similar problems also occurred in agricultural cooperatives in another history.
Although he used administrative means to temporarily solve some problems, excessive administrative instructions will only lead to a situation where the people below are forced to cooperate in order to complete the task as quickly as possible.
This also violates the original intention of voluntariness.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked Jean Dulles again for a solution.
"Your Excellency, we cannot suppress human beings' desire to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!" Jean Dulles sighed and said tactfully: "But we can reduce the losses they cause. I think the reason why you founded the agricultural school is
This is probably the purpose too!”
"That's right!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to Jean Dulles.
"In this case, we can create factories in some areas... so that farmers can work in factories in their spare time..." Jean Dulles proposed a solution to Jérôme Bonaparte.
That is, under the conscious guidance of the government, small-scale light industries should be established in vast rural areas to complete external exchanges. At the same time, farmers should be taught to use guano. After the government imports guano, the farmers who use guano will be trained to a certain extent.
Subsidy, and to reduce the harm caused by insects to crops, especially grapes...
Jean Dulles's views coincided with those of Jérôme Bonaparte, and part of them were things that Jérôme Bonaparte had not thought of.
"Okay!" Jerome Bonaparte said excitedly to Jean Dulles: "You are the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce. I believe you will definitely bring France's agriculture to a higher level!"
After praising Jean Dulles, Jérôme Bonaparte once again put forward some of his opinions on whether French crops could be sold to foreign countries as luxury goods.
"Luxury goods?" Jean Dulles looked at Jérôme Bonaparte in confusion. He had never heard that agriculture could be sold as luxury goods.
In his previous life, Jérôme Bonaparte, who was used to hearing about Thai rice and Vietnamese rice, cleared his throat and said to Jean Dulles: "We should build the French crop industry into a golden sign. For example, French rice is rich in...
Impact……"
Jérôme Bonaparte didn’t know that this was the trick that France would use in the EU in the future, taking advantage of foreigners’ admiration for France, selling agricultural products at high prices, and then taking advantage of the low prices to introduce cheap rice from foreign countries.
In view of the fact that France's "godliness" has not been shattered in this era, and many people are still proud to buy French luxury goods, this strategy of domestic sales and export of luxury goods is completely feasible.
A certain upstart in the New World was a potential customer.
"Probably!" Jean Dulles, who had never thought that agricultural products could be used in so many ways, was stunned for a moment. He could only silently remember Jerome Bonaparte's speech in his heart, and then find a
Give it a chance to experiment.
The two of them talked for a long time, which made Louis Pasteur who was sitting next to him feel extremely uncomfortable. He didn't understand why the consul asked him to come to the Tuileries Palace.
After Jérôme Bonaparte's conversation with Jean Dulles ended, he turned his attention again to Louis Pasteur, who had been ignored by him for a long time.
