George Haussmann and Jérôme Bonaparte had the same idea about moving the factory outside the suburbs.
As a more orthodox Bonapartist than Jérôme Bonaparte, Georges Haussmann preferred to rule the city with autocracy.
In other words, George Haussmann preferred to act as a "strict father" in front of the Paris people, giving candies to obedient "children" and severely punishing those who were disobedient.
In his opinion, the most obedient children in Paris are the little bourgeoisie who work hard and do not cause trouble to society.
The naughty children were the Parisian proletariat, or sans-culottes.
The root of all revolutions begins with them and the factory where their radical ideas were nurtured. As long as the factory is moved away from Paris, the revolution will also disappear in Paris.
In other words, in George Haussmann's view, as long as there are no poor people in Paris, music and dancing can continue.
As for Jerome Bonaparte's wish to build apartments for Paris workers to accommodate 100,000 people, in his opinion, this was a completely socialist idea.
If Jérôme Bonaparte was not the emperor of the empire, then Georges Haussmann would definitely arrest Jérôme Bonaparte just like he did with Olivier (the Speaker of the Legislative Council in the OTL world line and the founder of the Free Empire)
Arrested and put into jail.
Now that the person who said this was the supreme ruler of the entire empire, George Osman had to deal with it carefully.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" George Osman persuaded Jérôme Bonaparte carefully: "Your kindness really makes all the monarchs in the world ashamed, but your kindness cannot influence certain groups.
!On the contrary, it will make them even more serious. Your ideas are likely to..."
At this point, George Osman looked at Jerome Bonaparte hesitantly, as if waiting for Jerome Bonaparte's permission.
"What's going on? Keep talking? I forgive you!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded with a smile still on his face. He was looking forward to hearing some different opinions from George Haussmann.
"The housing you build for workers will most likely become a hotbed of revolution!" George Haussmann replied to Jérôme Bonaparte through gritted teeth.
"That's what you want to say?" Jérôme Bonaparte had a disappointed expression on his face.
The publicity George Haussmann receives now does not exceed his status and era, even though he is already one of the few talents in France.
His fear of revolution and riots caused him to regard workers as thugs who had enough to eat and had nothing to do, rather than as people like him in the true sense.
This arrogance originating from the elites of the 19th century makes them always look at everyone in a condescending manner and respond to the proletarians with a charity mentality.
Not to mention bending down and listening to the voices of the proletarians.
But Jérôme Bonaparte is different. He was "born" in the 21st century and has seen the development of more than a hundred years in the future. Those workers have never been a hotbed of revolution. All their demands are just to have a little food.
It's better, the work doesn't have to be so tiring... As long as these are satisfied, they will lack the motivation to rebel, and thus become the most submissive organization in the empire.
As for the proletariat seizing power, Jérôme Bonaparte can bet with all his heart that before Ilyich created the vanguard, those little cuties had no ability to fight against a complete machine of violence.
In the eyes of George Haussmann, workers were objects that needed to be rejected, but in the eyes of Jérôme Bonaparte, they were objects that needed to be fought over, and they must not fall into the hands of Dr. Ma.
Furthermore, Bonapartism itself is to mediate the contradictions between various classes, and to harm the superstructure if necessary.
After the birth of capitalism, we have only heard of proletarian revolution, but never of big capitalist revolution. In the increasingly fierce workers' movement, they will compromise for their own lives.
We must ensure enough middle class people to maintain social stability.
Georges Haussmann, who had different visions and values, did not understand Jérôme Bonaparte. In his eyes, the emperor of an empire that originally relied on opposing Redization was increasingly entering the situation of Redization.
"Well..." Jerome Bonaparte scratched his head in embarrassment, "What should I tell you?"
"Your Majesty, if you insist on doing this, then I will naturally choose to support you!"
At the critical moment, George Osman once again performed the operation of a smart man, which was to follow the general line and swing along.
Although I don't agree with the emperor's policies, I support all the emperor's policies.jpg
George Osman, who has been in high and low officialdom for many years, understands that in this country, as long as the emperor wants to do anything, nothing is impossible!
The only difference is how much the emperor himself has to pay!
George Osman, who was good at standing on the side of the winner, naturally would not oppose the emperor on this issue.
Jerome Bonaparte, who saw George Haussmann readily agreeing, naturally did not need to tell him the reason. Of course, Jerome Bonaparte also believed that he might not be able to convince George Haussmann at all, just as he could not convince himself.
In this case, it is better to leave some room for maneuver for each other.
"How about this place?" Jérôme Bonaparte pointed to the 12th arrondissement of Paris. "Can you carve out a place for me here?"
George Osman glanced at the location pointed by Jérôme Bonaparte, nodded and responded: "Of course!"
"Then I look forward to good news from you!" Jérôme Bonaparte stretched himself and responded to George Haussmann.
Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte left George Haussmann's office. When he was less than one meter away from the door, Jerome Bonaparte suddenly thought of something. He turned around and said quickly: "By the way! There is one more thing.
thing!"
"Say it!" George Osman responded respectfully.
"As for the land price during the renovation of the house, I hope you will pay more attention! Don't renovate the house at that time! The cost of purchasing land is getting higher day by day!" Jérôme Bonaparte reminded George Haussmann.
If his memory is correct, during George Haussmann's subsequent renovation process, the price of land in Paris will become higher and higher.
As for why the price of real estate in Paris continues to rise, it is naturally inseparable from the group of insects in the Paris banking circle.
Of course, the rise in land prices is also in line with the characteristics of capitalist speculation. Jérôme Bonaparte did not need to use administrative means to restrict it. The reason why he reminded George Haussmann was just to use his hand to slightly control the rise in land prices in Paris.
.
This may make George Haussmann attract a lot of "enemies" in the financial circle, but the reason why he stands in the fire pit of a senior official in the Seine department is not just to spread hatred.
Furthermore, the rising land prices in Paris are full of malice for the already financially distressed Paris City Hall. Haussmann, who wants to make a difference, will inevitably use means to suppress land prices.
"Understood!" George Osman nodded and replied to Jérôme Bonaparte.
"Then I'll leave first!"
Jérôme Bonaparte shook hands with Georges Haussmann and left the office.
Adjutant Edgar Ney, who was standing outside the door, quickly followed Jerome Bonaparte's steps and walked down from the top floor of the Paris City Hall.
When Jérôme Bonaparte returned to the Tuileries Palace, the dark clouds that had spread over Paris gradually spread to the surrounding areas, and the weather gradually became clearer.
A ray of sunshine shines through the thin clouds on the unfinished Avenue Saint-Michel behind the city hall.
"It's sunny!" Jérôme Bonaparte said a meaningful sentence.
Edgar Ney, who was standing by and confused, could only nod his head.
After the dark clouds dispersed and there were not many pedestrians on the street, Jérôme Bonaparte and Edgar Ney hailed a carriage.
A somewhat frugal-looking carriage stopped in front of Jerome Bonaparte and Edgar Ney. When the coachman saw Jerome Bonaparte clearly, his face showed
There was a hint of panic, and he almost screamed.
"Your Majesty..."
Before the coachman could finish speaking, Edgar Ney, with quick eyes and quick hands, suddenly covered his mouth.
"Hush..." Jérôme Bonaparte made a silent gesture, and then asked the coachman to take them to the Tuileries Palace.
"Please get in the carriage!" the coachman said humbly to Jerome Bonaparte.
Jérôme Bonaparte and Edgar Ney entered the carriage, and the coachman raised his whip to drive the animals.
The horse, which was whipped by the whip, roared and then began to move.
The carriage drove for about five minutes and arrived at the Tuileries Palace.
Through the side window, he saw Jérôme Bonaparte outside the Tuileries Palace. He opened the car door and came to the driver's seat. He shook hands with the coachman cordially.
The coachman showed a flattered expression and said intermittently to Jérôme Bonaparte: "Your Majesty...I...I have always supported you!"
"I know!" Jerome Bonaparte said as he took out a silver coin with Napoleon's face on it and handed it to the carriage.
"Your Majesty...this...how can I ask for something from you! It is my honor to serve you!" The coachman waved his hand and wanted to refuse.
"Take it!" Jerome Bonaparte put a franc silver coin in the coachman's pocket, "You need them more than I do!"
Hearing these words, the coachman thought of his children at home, and expressed his respect for this "merciful" emperor in the simplest language.
After the carriage left, Jerome Bonaparte once again said softly to Edgar Ney beside him: "You should also go home and rest!"
