Yes! Whether it is the historical Napoleon III (Louis Napoleon) or the current Napoleon III (Jerome Bonaparte), there has never been a lack of women around him.
Especially after Jérôme Bonaparte became emperor, more and more people tried to copy the path of the Marquis of Allais (many people believed that the Marquis of Allais relied on his wife to find his appearance) and became new favorites, and even some nobles openly
Pushing his wife to Jerome Bonaparte's side, chastity was basically a memorial in the middle and upper class society of Paris, which undoubtedly made Jerome Bonaparte feel a little distressed.
Pure physical happiness is no longer what people at Jerome Bonaparte's level are pursuing. Compared with simple physical enjoyment, he cares more about the dual unity of the physical and spiritual levels.
To put it bluntly, Jérôme Bonaparte himself does not like people who come to his door on his own initiative. He prefers people who are less proactive.
Of course, since Jérôme Bonaparte did not have many mistresses (Marquise Allais, Eugenie), this also caused rumors among the upper class to a certain extent, and many orthodox nobles who watched the fun and did not take it too seriously even secretly slandered
It is said that Jérôme Bonaparte is not charming enough.
This is undoubtedly a denial of Jérôme Bonaparte's regime. If no one in Paris often talks about the lack of mistresses or insufficient charm of a monarch, it is a precursor to his downfall.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, if you wanted to prove yourself as a qualified ruler of Paris, the first requirement was to have enough mistresses, which would make you a lot better in the hearts of the Paris people.
Although Parisians preach morality and order all day long, in fact the vast majority of them are male prostitutes and female thieves.
Under the double torture of traditional moral order and personal freedom, it is difficult to prevent a person's psychology from going to the abnormal side. Even a conservative provincial with well-established three views can become "pure" as long as he stays in Paris for a while.
of Parisians.
This has not changed even in the 21st century.
Then again, some of those who slandered Jérôme Bonaparte were sent to Algeria to eat sand, some were sent to debt prison by Jérôme Bonaparte's means, and the remaining part became people in the Seine River.
's corpse.
[Debt Prison: Similar to the Gulag, it was originally a residence for debtors who lost money, and then was gradually forced to become a "mental hospital". Many mental patients looked healthier than anyone else before going to the debt prison. 】
If Vernia was not a "gift" given to him by Cavour, Jérôme Bonaparte and her would simply be people from two different worlds.
Wilnia's attempt to seduce an ambitious man with beauty is not an impossible task at all.
Even Napoleon III in the OTL world line only treats Vernia as a snack, and breaks up with her immediately when he gets bored.
Not to mention utilitarians like Jerome Bonaparte. In his eyes, Vernia is an uncarved jade. He wants to carve Vernia into what he likes and then enjoy it alone.
Wilnia was silent, and she suddenly realized that the guy in front of her was not the same species as those before.
The difference between the two is like a arrogant wolf king and a playful domestic dog. The former is obviously more charming than the latter.
[ps: Historically, Vernia always missed Napoleon III after being abandoned by him. After she was buried, she was still covered with the pajamas that Napoleon III had given her. 】
When Wilnia raised her head again, she found that Jerome Bonaparte was looking at her with a joking look, which made him a little angry because of his somewhat complacent personality. She puffed up her chest proudly, as if to show off.
The product wrapped in Lev's gown.
"Yeah! It's really big!" Jérôme Bonaparte first nodded and affirmed Vernia's arrogant capital, then spread his hands and said: "Don't you think you have learned any other abilities? Are you going to rely on your appearance?
A lifetime?"
"I..." Wilnia was furious, she did have this idea.
However, she also understands that beauty can only be her temporary capital, and the best way is to find an "honest man" to marry after she reaches a certain age (16 years old), and then continue to play.
Only in this way can she ensure that she will not be eliminated by society in her later years. European laws and religions will not agree to divorce at all.
In order to fight for the right to divorce, French women (mainly Parisian women) have been working hard for I don’t know how long.
"You can't help me with anything?" Jérôme Bonaparte said with a hint of disdain in his eyes and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "However, I can really afford a freeloader here!
In order to stimulate Vernia, Jérôme Bonaparte said another "intimate" sentence: "Don't worry, I won't ask Cavour for food expenses!"
"You..." Vernia was so angry that Jerome Bonaparte was shaking. She couldn't find anything to say. She just lowered her charming nose that was unique in the world and looked like she was being cute.
"You are beautiful, but a little bit brainless!" Jérôme Bonaparte said again.
Vernia, who was only 13 years old, could not withstand the repeated "ridicule" of Jérôme Bonaparte, the master of fire. She had been praised by everyone since she was a child, and she gritted her silver teeth and left Jerome without looking back.
Tom Bonaparte's study.
Jerome Bonaparte in the study looked at the open study door in front of him, shook his head, and said to himself: "After all, he is still just a child!"
After saying that, Jerome Bonaparte's lips showed a joyful smile.
There is a natural difference between 13-year-old Wilnia and 18-year-old her. The former has not really entered the society, while the latter has already experienced many charms of the upper class.
This is probably something Cavour didn't expect.
In the following days, Vernia never "harassed" Jérôme Bonaparte again.
If Jérôme Bonaparte had not regularly inquired about the situation of the ladies of the Tuileries Palace, he almost thought that Vernia had left Paris.
During these days, Cavour also did not visit Jérôme Bonaparte, but had frequent exchanges with the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The two sides barely reached a consensus on the broad policy.
On February 15, the agricultural mission of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies left Paris.
Under the deliberate connivance of Jérôme Bonaparte, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies received a large amount of capital injection led by the French government. The funds will be continuously transported to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in the form of purchasing railway treasury bonds of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies, and also
This means that the railway will blossom in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
The emerging domestic steel industry will also make a lot of money from the railway orders from the Kingdom of Two Sicilies.
However, since the Kingdom of Two Sicilies itself cannot obtain high returns and may even run the risk of losses, Jérôme Bonaparte also did not dare to let the Paris Stock Exchange bear the railway debt of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies alone. risk.
Therefore, he once again met with Count Argu, the president of the Bank of France, and informed him of the issue of the railway bonds of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! The railway debt of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies is a pile of rubbish!" Count Argu said bluntly to Jerome Bonaparte: "I even doubt whether they can afford to repay the huge debt. Railroad Bonds!”
Jérôme Bonaparte also nodded with empathy. If it were not for political and strategic needs, I am afraid that only a fool would buy the bonds of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies.
Even in the 21st century, the Two Sicilies and Naples regions are still targets of poverty alleviation.
"Of course I understand, that's why I brought you here to discuss a solution. Do you think the Bank of France has the ability to package this batch of government bonds and then put them on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange!" Jérôme Bonaparte tried. The tactics used by William II in order to win over the relationship with the Russian Empire.
Use France's own credibility to endorse the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and then place all debts on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange market.
In this case, the risk of the railway bonds of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies will be transferred to the Frankfurt Exchange. If done properly, France can also earn part of the handling fees.
Jérôme Bonaparte's words made Count Argoux's eyes light up, and he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I think you can do this!"
"Not only the railway debt of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies, but also our own railway bonds..." Jérôme Bonaparte suddenly realized that his secondary railway could also be put into the German market. Anyway, it was a business destined to lose money. Leeks, let’s experience what the capital market is.
The current German region has some similarities to the form of the usurious empire. Excessive division has prevented Germany from forming a market in the true sense. The road to industrialization is not as fast as the German Empire later. This has also caused Germany to a certain extent. Assets are stagnant, and the German bourgeoisie also like to buy bonds from Europe.
London, Paris, Frankfurt, and Brussels cover the bonds of the entire Europe.
Just as he was told, Jérôme Bonaparte called the then Minister of Railways, Baros.
Jérôme Bonaparte informed Baros about the construction of a second-level railway. Baros responded with some concern: "Your Majesty, our main trunk line is still under construction. Isn't it right to build a second-level railway now?" It’s too early!”
"Don't be afraid!" Jérôme Bonaparte encouraged Baros: "We must learn to lay eggs by borrowing chickens!"
Later, Jérôme Bonaparte informed Baros of his ideas.
Baros's expression showed various changes. He had never thought that such an operation existed in the world.
[ps: The "simple" nature of early capitalism makes people feel terrible. The follow-up routine of capitalism only improved rapidly after the emergence of monopoly capitalism. After the first and fifth world wars, the emergence of nuclear weapons brought an end to War between great powers has also brought the operation of capitalism to its peak level!]
