Chapter 833： New Year's and New Signs of Human Trafficking

Latest website: Jerome Bonaparte, who returned to the Tuinlery Palace, had another day's rest before taking over the work from Rouet, Morne and other members of the Council of Regency.

Although there was some dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people who were taken back by Jerome Bonaparte, their faces showed a little bit of dissatisfaction.

Jerome Bonaparte patted their shoulders with a smile and encouraged them.

The power of the entire empire was back in the hands of Jerome Bonaparte.

In the last two months of 1856, Jerome Bonaparte began to constantly adjust the economic route of the French Empire, and the control economy originally formulated for the war gradually moved towards the direction of marketization.

Shipyards, steel mills, steam train factories, canning factories... All military-related orders have also begun to gradually shift from domestic to foreign.

Rail bonds that were "frozen" also began to re-active on the Paris Stock Exchange, without falling sharply.

At the same time, under the order of Jerome Bonaparte, the Banque de France and the Ministry of the Interior jointly established a police organization specializing in combating counterfeit and shoddy French bank notes on the market and maintaining the prosperity of the French market.

And the person in charge of this organization is the old man Jérôme Bonaparte met on the train a few months ago. His name is Wilson Edwards, a man who used to work with Thiers, Mignet, A Swiss scholar who has worked with Kizuo et al.

…

December 31, 1855, the winter season.

At the invitation of Emperor Jerome Bonaparte of the French Empire, important ministers and generals of the French Empire, as well as invited foreign envoys and outstanding scientific workers (Louis Pasteur, Mauser, Karl Heinrich. Von Siemens) braved the heavy snow to take a carriage to the Tuinlery Palace to celebrate the arrival of the new year.

The party officially started at 8 o'clock in the evening. Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta shuttled through the crowd in the hall, smiling to every guest who arrived in the snow.

When Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta walked around the hall, he found that he didn't seem to see Louis Pasteur and others.

"Strange, where have they gone?" Jerome Bonaparte whispered.

"Your Majesty, who are you looking for?" Augusta, who was standing on Jerome Bonaparte, asked in a low voice.

"Louis Pasteur!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Augusta, "I clearly remember inviting them!"

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask Director Basilio? I think he should know where Professor Louis Pasteur is now!" Queen Augusta responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"I almost forgot if you didn't tell me!" Jerome Bonaparte reacted instantly. He hurriedly approached Basilio and asked, "Where is Mr. Louis Pasteur now?"

After listening to the words, Basilio thought for a moment and replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, please come with me!"

Under the leadership of Basilio, Jerome Bonaparte came to a hidden corner of the hall, where he saw Louis Pasteur, Mauser, Siemens and other "national treasures".

After seeing Jerome Bonaparte's arrival, Louis Pasteur and others showed surprised expressions on their faces, as if Jerome Bonaparte should not be here.

"You guys are here, it's really easy for me to find them!" Jerome Bonaparte complained.

"Your Majesty, I'm really sorry!" Louis Pasteur immediately responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"It's time for me to apologize to you. You were the guests I invited, but you were left in the cold! It's my poor reception!" Jerome Bonaparte apologized to the group of scientists in front of him.

Then, Jerome Bonaparte pretended to criticize Basilio: "Basilio, what's the matter with you! I asked you to invite them here, not to let them sit on the bench here. Yes! The value of each of them, others don't know, you still don't know!"

"Your Majesty, this is my mistake! Please punish me!" Seeing this, Basilio resolutely thought that Jerome Bonaparte had admitted his mistake.

fo

"No! Your Majesty, we are here voluntarily!" Louis Pasteur hurriedly cleared Basilio.

"Why?" Jerome Bonaparte asked in confusion.

Louis Pasteur told Jerome Bonaparte that most of them were people who only knew scientific research and were not good at communication, so they could not cope with such a huge party.

In addition, most of the guests in the party are rich or expensive, and they have to stay in place quietly without a common language.

After listening to Louis Pasteur's speech, Jerome Bonaparte realized his mistake, he hurriedly apologized to Louis Pasteur and others: "This is my negligence, I didn't care about yours. Feelings! Please forgive me!"

"Your Majesty, it's nothing!" Louis Pasteur shook his head and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

Seeing that Louis Pasteur and others were a little out of tune with the party, Jerome Bonaparte had to ask Louis Pasteur if he was willing to leave the venue early.

"Your Majesty, will this have any effect on you!" Louis Pasteur asked Jerome Bonaparte.

"What effect can this have!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and responded to Louis Pasteur, "If you want, you can leave now! I will let Basilio send you away from Doudou Yinleli Palace!"

Louis Pasteur, Old Mauser, Heinrich von Siemens and others euphemistically expressed their willingness to leave to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Okay! I see!" said Jerome Bonaparte, nodding to them. "Please allow me to speak to Basilio, and he will take you out of here!"

Jerome Bonaparte called Basilio aside and told Basilio in a low voice that he would give each of the scientists who had left a red envelope.

"Remember, each red envelope is stuffed with 2,000 francs! Let's just say it's a New Year's red envelope I gave them." Jerome Bonaparte said to Basilio, "When the time comes, you can just ask me to report the bill. It's gone!"

"No need, Your Majesty!" said Basilio to Jerome Bonaparte. "I should have paid for this money."

"What nonsense! When the time comes, just come and report the bill!" Jerome Bonaparte decisively cut off the topic and ordered Basilio to send all the scientific workers safely out of the Tuin-leuri Palace.

After all the scientific workers quietly left, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta turned and returned to the crowd.

At this moment, Richard Metternich, the French ambassador to the Austrian Empire, appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte.

"Happy New Year's Eve, Your Majesty!" said Richard Metternich, bowing to Jerome Bonaparte.

"You are Richard too!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Richard Metternich with a smile.

After the two sides chatted for a while, Richard Metternich asked Jerome Bonaparte if he could take some time. He wanted to talk to Jerome Bonaparte alone.

Jerome Bonaparte glanced at Augusta next to him, Augusta nodded at Jerome Bonaparte, and then let go of Jerome Bonaparte's wrist.

"Your Majesty, thank you very much!" Richard Metternich quickly thanked Augusta.

"Let's go! Mr. Richard!" Jerome Bonaparte teased Richard Metternich: "Let's find a room and enjoy the world of two!"

An embarrassed expression appeared on Richard Metternich's face, and Queen Augusta also joked, "I wish you all a good time!"

Afterwards, Richard Metternich and Jerome Bonaparte left the hall and found a guest room to talk.

"Mr. Richard, what do you want to say?" Jerome Bonaparte, who entered the room, asked Richard Metternich.

"It is so, Your Majesty!" Richard Metternich told Jerome Bonaparte: he had received a telegram from the Ministry of the Interior of the Austrian Empire, which said they had ready 30,000 Croatian laborers, and now only When the French side confirms the shipment, they will send 30,000 Croatian laborers on board.

However, the Ministry of the Interior does not know where the 30,000 Croatian laborers were sent.

After listening to Richard Metternich's description, Jerome Bonaparte said to Richard Metternich with a slight surprise: "If my memory is not wrong, we just signed the labor agreement last month. .Right!"

"That's right! Your Majesty! Richard Metternich nodded and replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"I'm curious, what method did you use to gather 30,000 workers in just one month!" Jerome Bonaparte touched his chin, "We agreed in advance, Mr. Weak, sick and disabled workers are not allowed!"

"Your Majesty, I can guarantee that all the workers are young and strong!" Richard Metternich hurriedly responded to Jerome Bonaparte, "As for what we used What method, please forgive us for the inconvenience!"

"I understand!" Jerome Bonaparte showed a clear expression.

Needless to say, the Austrian Empire must have used disgraceful methods.

How can there be so many people who are willing to live in Africa these days? Even the residents living in Algiers Province now have a large number of people who were exiled.

Those who were exiled were forced to settle in Algiers for various reasons, and then gradually integrated into Algiers.

Those Croatian workers were probably fooled too.

"20,000 of the 30,000 workers will be transported directly to Algiers, where there will be special personnel responsible for receiving them! The remaining 10,000 workers will be transported to Marseille first, and other plans will be made after the military training is completed!"
