Chapter 62 The Reformation of the Papal State

Time flies by like a flash, and June 25th has arrived in the blink of an eye.

With the rising enthusiasm of people in Rome to participate in politics and the continuous "good" news coming from Austria, Pope Pius IX had to leave the Apostolic Palace again and went to St. Petersburg Church Square under the escort of Swiss guards to announce the progress of the reform.

As the chief advisor to Pope Pius IX, Perelino Rossi was appointed as Minister of the Interior by Pius IX and brought to the forefront. Perelino Rossi also delivered an inaugural speech in St. Peter's Square. Perelli

Novo Rossi announced his first set of reform plans.

In the plan, Perelino Rossi claimed that given that Rome is currently in an economic downturn, rash democratic reforms will only bring the Papal State's economy to the brink of collapse. The first thing the government needs to do now is economic revitalization, so he will

Famous nobles in Rome will be invited to discuss rescue strategies.

The political strategy of the year and the question of whether to implement a National Assembly like that in France require further discussion.

As soon as this statement came out, there was a small-scale commotion in St. Peter's Square. Some republicans and careerists standing outside St. Petersburg Square were obviously not very satisfied.

However, the commotion did not get a response from others and become a trend like the previous demonstrations. Those who tried to agitate the residents outside St. Petersburg Square were quickly caught by the Swiss Guards.

The reason is simply that many aristocratic gentlemen with influence in the city of Rome chose to continue to wait and see with contentment after hearing that Perelino Rossi was inviting them to participate in political affairs.

Without their covert help, republicans and potential careerists would not be able to achieve their goals.

After the first phase of the reform plan was elaborated, Pope Pius IX once again appeared amidst the cheers of everyone. He used a compassionate tone to publicly pardon those who wanted to incite the people in St. Petersburg Square. This move once again made a lot of money.

won the hearts of the Roman residents.

Fueled by the "trolls" lurking among the residents, many citizens shouted "Long Live the Pope" either sincerely or in general.

Pope Pius IX and Minister Perelino Rossi returned to the Apostolic Palace from St. Peter's Square amid previous cheers.

Early the next morning, mainstream newspapers in Rome published speeches about Pererino Rossi. Some newspapers even pulled out all the information about Pererino Rossi and claimed that Pesirino Rossi was

West comes from France, and he will definitely transform the Papal States into a country like France.

Everyone in Rome is eagerly looking forward to Perelino Rossi's next move.

Except for Jerome Bonaparte in the Hotel in Rome.

After 23 days of "retreat", Jérôme Bonaparte finally completed the main content of "Catholic Ethical Economics".

As usual, Lucien Louis came to Jerome Bonaparte's hotel residence to help Jerome Bonaparte review manuscripts, and by the way brought French newspapers to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Perfect!" Lucien Louis couldn't help but sigh again after reading it word for word.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who was looking down at the newspaper, raised his head and smiled after hearing Lucien Louis' praise.

There is no way this book, which embodies the "wisdom" of Christianity throughout the 19th century, is flawed.

If I have to point out one flaw, it would be the explanation of socialism.

Since the original author wrote the book in the 1920s, which was the period when socialism theory exploded, part of the article is a "refutation" of socialism.

It is now the middle of the 19th century, and socialism theory is in a barbaric period, with much theoretical knowledge not yet available.

In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Jerome Bonaparte deleted various aspects of the content.

The whole book has also been reduced from 260,000 words to about 180,000 words.

Jerome Bonaparte believed that even if this part was missing, "Catholic Managerial Ethics" could still become the pillar supporting Catholic economics.

Lucien Louis, who put down the manuscript, once again asked Jérôme Bonaparte what he thought of the political situation in Rome.

"Minister Perelino's movements are still a bit slow!" Jerome Bonaparte sighed slightly.

"Huh? Uncle, I think His Majesty's willingness to carry out reforms is a good signal. If you be patient, you will definitely gain something!" Lucien Louis responded optimistically to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Lucien!" Jerome Bonaparte stood up and came to the window. Lucien Louis also followed Jerome Bonaparte's steps and came to the window.

Jérôme Bonaparte pointed to the Roman citizens outside the window and said to Lucien Louis: "Lucien, the Pope can wait, and so can those nobles! Can they wait? The wave of revolution has swept across Europe, and slowly and slowly

Reforms will only make the impatient people hate the regime even more. They can wait for a while, but they cannot wait forever. Your Majesty's first step has already been wrong!"

"What should I do if it were you?" Lucien Louis asked Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Either do nothing, or do it ruthlessly!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Lucien Louis: "If it were me, I would pretend to establish a constituent assembly, and then use the votes of the peasants to

The priests were sent to the Assembly to rule Rome."

"What if they want to riot again?" Lucien Louis asked again.

"I just want to wait for them to riot!" Jérôme Bonaparte said with a ferocious expression: "If he doesn't riot, how can I declare in the name of the law that they do not abide by the Constitution! At that time, I only need to issue an edict to declare

The rioters are in an unconstitutional situation, and then they are defeated with the help of the French knife and the returning regiments from the countryside!"

Jérôme Bonaparte made a gesture of raising a knife and dropping it, the meaning of which is naturally self-evident.

The current situation in the Papal States is no longer something they can handle on their own. It requires a big country to use a bayonet to forcibly reverse Rome's values.

"France...will France help the Pope?" Lucien Louis asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"You will understand after you look at this!" Jerome Bonaparte returned to the desk and handed a French newspaper into Lucien Louis' hands.

The content of the newspaper was "Resolutions Concerning the Dissolution of National Factories."

"Do you know what this means?" Jérôme Bonaparte's calm tone made people feel a little scary.

Lucien Louis shook his head to express his confusion.

"This means that a massacre will be staged in Paris in the near future, and those urban management bosses will tear off their disguises and start attacking the workers!"
