"The government won't give you too much refurbishment funds, everything depends on your own efforts..."

As soon as he said this, George Osman immediately felt an invisible pressure on his shoulders.

As we all know, the urban transformation of any place requires a lot of funds as the bottom line. The amount of government funding for urban transformation determines the speed of urban transformation.

How to successfully complete the urban transformation of Paris without government funding is a test of the governance level of a high-ranking official.

An unnatural look appeared on Georges Haussmann's face. Jerome Bonaparte looked at Georges Haussmann with a half-smile and continued, "Don't worry! The government is not completely letting go, it's just that the city of Paris has been transformed. The required funds are too huge, and the government can only afford a small part! The bulk of it also requires private capital to operate. I made a rough calculation. If Paris wants to be fully transformed, the government needs to invest about 200 million francs every year! This amount is not calculated in one or two years, but in ten years!"

Jérôme Bonaparte once calculated that the total renovation would cost about 2 billion francs, which is still an ideal calculation without taking into account the corruption of the government.

If all aspects are considered, the entire transformation of Paris will cost at least half the Franco-Prussian War, that is to say, 2.5 billion francs can be completed.

This is equivalent to more than a year of national calculations for all of France.

Although the period of this money can be extended to ten or even twenty years, it is still a considerable expense.

Today, military reform requires money, the establishment of military academies requires money, the revitalization of industry requires money, and the establishment of nursing schools also requires a lot of money.

The government simply could not afford multi-line flowering, but Paris had to be renovated, which is why Jérôme Bonaparte invited Georges Haussmann to be the designer of urban renewal in Paris.

"Your Majesty, how much money can the government provide each year?" George Haussmann asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"I will persuade the Legislative Council to provide you with 60 million francs in the first year. After that, the Ministry of Finance will allocate 30 million francs to you every year. This is the greatest help I can give you! Now the central government is not easy, in all aspects. They all need money!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and sighed, "I don't know if Chaimi is expensive!"

In order to allow the reform to proceed smoothly, Jerome Bonaparte has tried his best to save food and clothing within the effective range.

Not to mention that he is now slightly less than his cousin, who was 12 million francs a year in history, even two years ago.

Two years ago, he was wrestling with the Legislative Assembly over the president's annual salary.

Of course, it's not that Pessini and the others didn't hint at letting Jerome Bonaparte raise their wages, because only when Jerome Bonaparte raised their wages could they be able to carry on the corruption with confidence and boldness.

However, every time Jérôme Bonaparte rejected the suggestions of Pesini and others, and at the same time warned Pesini and other Bonapartists to be a little more restrained.

As a parasite in France, don't always think about hollowing out the existing industry instead of thinking about how to make it big.

As long as the French cakes are made bigger and bigger, the more they can get.

Jerome Bonaparte recalled what the Bonapartists had done, and could not help but sigh again.

Sometimes, careerists have more tenacious willpower than revolutionaries, but once they win, careerists degenerate much faster than revolution.

"30 million francs?" George Haussmann, who was pondering for a moment, nodded in response to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Excellency, I will do my best to complete the transformation of Paris!"

"If that's the case, go and find out about the handover! Come back to Paris with me at that time!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Georges Haussmann.

"Yes!" George Osman said with a smile on his face.

In the next few days, Jérôme Bonaparte and George Haussmann, who will be a senior official of the Seine department, discussed the first phase of the transformation of the Paris area. George Haussmann's connection work was also managed in an orderly manner.

On October 30th, with the arrival of the new Bordeaux senior officials, Jerome Bonaparte and George Haussmann will also leave Bordeaux and return to Paris.

At this moment, a message from the small town of Saint-Amand in the south of France disrupted all plans of Jerome Bonaparte.

"You mean that old fellow at Soult is dying?" Jerome Bonaparte once again asked De Morny about the authenticity of the news.

"That's right!" De Morne nodded and responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "According to our police report in the small town of St. Armand, Marshal Soult is now in critical condition!"

Since the coup d'état on December 2, 1850, all influential generals in France have been under the surveillance of Jerome Bonaparte. Marshal of the First Empire and Marshal of France Soult is no exception.

It's just that the police personnel sent by Jerome Bonaparte only secretly went to the small town of Saint-Amand where Sirte lived to monitor, and did not disturb the dying General Marshal.

"An era is coming to an end!" said Jerome Bonaparte in a flat tone.

The era of imperial government that once gathered stars will end with the death of Sirte and others, and the next stage will be a more cruel and **** era.

"Your Majesty, are we..." Morne tentatively asked Jerome Bonaparte if he wanted to see Soult for the last time.

Jerome Bonaparte got up and paced back and forth. After a while, he raised his head and responded to Morny: "Go! Come with me to witness the end of an era!"

"Yes!" Molney responded immediately.

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte called George Haussmann over and told him that he was about to go to the small town of Saint-Amand, and he could go to Paris first to serve as a senior official in the Seine department.

Although Georges Haussmann didn't know why Jerome Bonaparte went to Saint Armand, the most southern part of France (few people know that Marshal Soult lived in seclusion there), he still nodded his head and expressed his willingness to listen to Jerome . Bonaparte's order.

On October 31, Jérôme Bonaparte and Georges Haussmann parted, one continued to head south to the border between France and Spain, and the other took a cargo ship to Calais at the port of Bordeaux, and then took a train to Paris.

On November 2, Jérôme Bonaparte and de Morne, who rode in a black open-top carriage, arrived near the town of St. Armand after two days of travel under the **** of the army.

In the carriage, Jerome Bonaparte looked at the towering and continuous Pyrenees Mountains in the distance and the green fields nearby, and felt relaxed and happy.

"It seems that our Grand Marshal is quite an emotional person!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Morne in a brisk tone.

"Yeah!" Molney nodded sympathetically.

After the carriage bumped all the way, it finally came to a hillside surrounded by greenery. The sides of the hillside were full of trees. Looking along the tree net, there was a castle at the top of the hillside, where Sirte lived.

The carriage climbed up the artificial path and soon came to the gate of the castle. After observing the castle up close, Jerome Bonaparte realized that it was a historic fortress. Although he did not know who the original owner of the castle was, judging from the bricks and stones of the castle, it was obvious that the castle had undergone the baptism of time, and every brick and stone had traces of time remaining.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Jerome Bonaparte once again sighed at the "luxury" of Marshal Soult. Marshal Soult must have made a lot of money.

Then, Jérôme Bonaparte got out of the car with Morny and knocked on the door.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came from the door, the heavy door opened, and an old man in a servant uniform appeared with a little impatience on his face: "The Grand Marshal doesn't want to meet guests today!"

"Please tell Marshal Soult that Jerome Bonaparte is coming!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to the servant with a kind attitude.

"Jerome... Bonaparte?" The servant who heard the name of Jerome Bonaparte immediately put away his impatient face, he hurriedly showed a flattering smile and said: "Please wait a moment, I will immediately Pass!"

Having said that, the servants ran in, Jerome Bonaparte and Morny pushed open the door that could only accommodate half their bodies and entered the living room of the castle.

In this living room where Rococo style and imperial style are mixed, Jerome Bonaparte saw many Spanish-style collections and armors.

Marshal Sirte made a fortune in Spain! Jerome Bonaparte again.

After Jérôme Bonaparte and Morney walked back and forth in the living room a few times the servant appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte and Morniy again!

"Your Excellency, the marshal let me tell you! He can't get up now. If you really want to meet him, please follow me to the bedroom!" The servant cautiously changed the name of the marshal during the imperial period for Sirte.

Jerome Bonaparte pretended to be surprised and said, "I didn't expect that His Excellency the Duke is so sick!"

"Yes!" Thinking of this, the servant burst into tears and said, "The doctor said that the marshal might have..."

The servant swallowed the rest of the words, and secretly blamed himself for being imprecise.

"Alas! If the marshal is really unfortunate, it will be a loss for the whole of France!" Jerome Bonaparte, who said this, did not waver in his heart, and even wanted to laugh.

"Please come with me!"

Under the leadership of the servant, Jerome Bonaparte walked up the stairs and quickly came to the door of Soult's bedroom.

"The marshal is inside!" The servant made a gesture of invitation.

Jerome Bonaparte nodded and pushed open Soult's bedroom door.

When he opened the door, Jerome Bonaparte saw...
