Chapter 384： Make a big cake and distribute it reasonably!

"Your Majesty, didn't I tell you, when you go out in the future, you'd better bring some guards! What if you encounter a disgruntled guy?"

Jérôme Bonaparte, who returned to the Tuileries Palace alone, was criticized by his wife before he could fully enjoy the service from his wife. The most important thing was that he could not refute it.

After all, Jerome Bonaparte is not a franc, and he is not destined to be loved by everyone. In Paris, there are still some extremists who want Jerome Bonaparte to die immediately.

It's not a wise choice to head to City Hall without any escort.

"If you really need to summon George Haussmann, you can summon him! Why go there in person!" Queen Augusta continued to complain in a low voice at Jerome Bonaparte.

"I didn't see it was still raining outside! It would be inconvenient to call him here!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Augusta with a shy smile.

In fact, he did not care about the inconvenience of the Haussmann side, but just wanted to make a surprise attack on Paris City Hall on a whim.

"As a courtier, you should naturally meet all the demands of the monarch! Don't say it's raining, even if it's hail or knives, they should come here!" Compared with Jerome Bonaparte, who did not have many nobles, August Star is obviously more aristocratic and arrogant.

It is precisely because of this that Augusta was able to form a small circle in the Tuileries Palace in less than half a year as queen.

The ladies in the circle are from the orthodox, the Orleans, and a small number of the bourgeois nouveau riche.

What is even more commendable is that the three factions did not fight each other in a small circle.

This made Jerome Bonaparte feel like he had found a treasure once again.

"Forget it! Don't talk about it!" Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand to stop Augusta from gossiping. Sitting on the sofa, he adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable. : "Fortunately! I've got what I need! By the way, it's a wake-up call for that guy George Osman!"

"Huh?" Augusta looked at Jerome Bonaparte suspiciously. She didn't understand what Jerome Bonaparte meant. Recently, the emperor has always done something mysteriously.

"It's like this..." Jerome Bonaparte told Augusta about his plans to build a community of workers.

Augusta also showed a horrified look, she didn't seem to understand the purpose of Jerome Bonaparte.

“The house prices and rents in Paris will inevitably rise with the improvement of Paris, and the wages of Paris workers are indeed a constant value. In Paris, on average, each worker needs a house of 121 francs and about 935 francs per year. The total cost of food is 1051 francs, while the salary of a Parisian worker is about 1300 francs per year. The salary of a Parisian male worker cannot meet the needs of a family of three, while the cost of a female worker is about 635 francs .

After all expenses are taken out, they have less than 200 francs of surplus wages per year. This kind of salary was before the house prices in Paris did not rise!

If Paris rents rise sharply, more will be required each year, and those who cannot afford housing will become unstable factors!

So we have to plan ahead! I asked George Osman to set aside a lot of land on the outskirts of St. Anthony, where a huge community of workers will be built! In this way, I can use these cheap houses to force the houses in the center of Paris to lower their prices! "

Jerome Bonaparte explained to Augusta, and then added: "We must eliminate the contradictions between the various classes as much as possible, and at the same time provoke the internal contradictions between the various classes, so that they cannot be united together. .Only in this way can the empire be in long-term stability."

Augusta looked at her husband in surprise, and suddenly found that she still didn't seem to know much about her husband.

"How did you get those data!" Augusta asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"Investigate, collect evidence!" Jerome Bonaparte responded indifferently, "If you govern at will without data, you will be like a castle in the air!"

"Building a community of workers requires huge funds. How do you solve these problems?" Augusta asked Jérôme Bonaparte again.

"The Tuileries Palace has no money, but Bonaparte has money!" Jerome Bonaparte said with a sneer: "They don't think I don't know, they secretly fished it out of this country behind my back. How much! Now is the time, it's time for them to give!"

From Jerome Bonaparte's complete usurpation of power to the present, the amount of money drawn from France's arms by the Bonaparte interest group that relies on itself has been no less than 500 million francs.

The Bonaparte group can be said to have perfectly explained what the porter of nature is in a very short period of time.

If it wasn't for Jerome Bonaparte's restrictions, these gluttons who didn't know what to be satisfied would probably have devoured the entire foundation of France.

Now is the time for them to contribute. Building a house in this book and then renting it to the workers is not necessarily a money-losing business.

On the contrary, it is a long-running business, but these Bonaparte groups are used to making fast money, and naturally they don't look down on this method of making slow money.

"Will this cause their backlash!" Augusta hesitated.

"Rebound! How can these guys have any qualifications to rebound!" Jerome Bonaparte said contemptuously: "A bunch of scoundrels!"

...

On May 18, 1853, Jerome Bonaparte brought together all the core members of the Bonaparte group.

Since Jerome Bonaparte was summoned suddenly, everyone present did not understand what the purpose of Jerome Bonaparte was.

"It's like this! I plan to build a large-scale building in the suburb of Saint-Antoine that can accommodate 100,000 people. This community will be open to the entire Parisian citizens..." Jerome Bonaparte said bluntly to the Bonapartists present. .

As soon as Jerome Bonaparte finished speaking, Bonaparte in the audience had already started to whisper, and they understood that Jerome Bonaparte seemed to want to ask them for money.

"Now the community has been approved by the Paris City Hall! I have a small savings myself, but I still knocked on some funds! So I called everyone together, just want everyone to brainstorm together to come up with a solution! However, everyone Please rest assured, the houses in the community are guaranteed to be rented at the market price!" Jerome Bonaparte described the market prospects to the Bonapartists present, and now he is not at all like an emperor's attitude, but looks like A philistine businessman.

All the people sitting in the audience are his potential investors, but the following group of "angel" investors seem to have no interest in the community investment made by Jerome Bonaparte and can quickly transfer the rights in their hands. Realize.

"I don't want to force you on this issue! As long as you do what you can!" Jerome Bonaparte showed a hypocritical smile on the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, Jerome Bonaparte set his eyes on his cousin Pierre Bonaparte.

Pierre Bonaparte, who saw Jerome Bonaparte pay attention to himself, recalled the order that Jerome Bonaparte asked him to be a "Trust" the day before.

At first, Pierre Bonaparte didn't want to promise Jerome Bonaparte. He also used his power to get his money. Why should he pay for the emperor's ideas?

Until Jerome Bonaparte shook out all the **** that Pierre Bonaparte had done, and threatened Pierre Bonaparte not to follow his advice, he would just go back to Rome , Pierre Bonaparte crawls at the feet of the emperor, expressing that he will do so.

"I'm an old man!" Before Pierre Bonaparte got up, Prince Monfort in the crowd was the first to express his support for Jerome Bonaparte.

"I'm also willing to invest in shares!" Now that Prince Monfort has attracted a wave of hatred, Pierre Bonaparte can only bite the bullet and stand up and say.

"Very good!" Facing Pierre Bonaparte, who was on the road, Jerome Bonaparte nodded in satisfaction.

With Prince Monfort and Pierre Bonaparte, two heavyweights of the Bonaparte family as examples, everyone present did not understand what they should do next.

The money is gone, you can make more money!

If you are estranged from the emperor then don't think about the possibility of turning over for a lifetime.

Next came the ministers and ministers in important positions, such as Morny, Pesini, and Rouet. For them, the emperor has already borrowed money from them for financing, how dare they not lend it to the emperor.

Emile Perel, the president of Societe Generale, was even more generous, directly injecting 200 million francs into Jerome Bonaparte's dream.

It's money that has been taken out of the mines with the blood and sweat of miners who have worked so hard in California and Melbourne.

Thanks to the "generous donations" of members of the Bonaparte faction, Jerome Bonaparte quickly completed the first round of financing.

On May 20, a workers' credit bank with a market value of 350 million francs was quietly established in Paris.

The newly established Workers' Credit Bank changed hands and acquired several construction companies to merge them into one company.

At the same time, with the secret support of Jérôme Bonaparte, Georges Haussmann defeated the city council in the suburbs and won the ownership of the suburb of Saint-Antoine. In the future, a large area of ​​​​the 12th arrondissement of Paris will be sold at a price of more than 100 francs per square meter. The low price is handed to this company.
