Make France Great Again

Chapter 354: Anti-advocacy

"On behalf of His Majesty the Pope, I wish the two newlyweds to help each other and overcome difficulties together under the watchful eye of the Lord! May the Lord bless you as a newlywed couple..."

The Archbishop of Paris expressed the Pope's and God's blessings to Jerome Bonaparte and Augustus with a pious look.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who was indifferent to the so-called blessings from God and the Pope, listened to the archbishop's rambling words without expression.

If it were not to make his title more sacred, Jerome Bonaparte would not be willing to do these meaningless and extremely cumbersome things.

In order to hold this wedding smoothly, the Tuileries Palace spent more than 5 million francs.

Just purchasing flowers and decorations from the Tuileries Palace to Notre Dame has cost nearly 500,000 francs.

For the "thrifty" Jérôme Bonaparte, this was the first time he had engaged in such a laborious and laborious money-burning activity.

There is no way, people always have to compromise with reality.

Besides, a wedding like this only happens once in a lifetime, so it’s reasonable to spend a little money!

Jerome Bonaparte comforted himself in this way.

After a long speech, the Archbishop of Paris placed the crown made of pure gold on the table and handed it to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Your Majesty, please bring it for the Queen!" the Archbishop said to Jérôme Bonaparte.

Jérôme Bonaparte raised the crown with both hands and gently placed it on Augusta's head.

Augusta's closed eyes opened when Jérôme Bonaparte placed the crown on her head.

The nobles, generals and upstart bankers in Notre Dame immediately stood up and shouted: "Long live your Majesty! Long live the Queen!"

Later, Mokar walked out from the backstage of Notre Dame de Paris. At this moment, his hands were holding a small box with exquisitely carved patterns.

Mokar came to Jérôme Bonaparte and presented the box to him. Jérôme Bonaparte opened the box with his own hands and placed a ring on the side of the box.

The ring body made of sterling silver and the red gemstones inlaid in the gem positions make the whole ring look particularly gorgeous and luxurious.

Jérôme Bonaparte took out the ring, gently held Augusta's hand with one hand, and placed the ring on Augusta's middle finger.

When the ring was completely worn on Augusta's middle finger, Jerome Bonaparte felt proud.

As a time traveler, he sat where his cousin was in history and married the legitimate princess that his cousin dreamed of.

From a certain perspective, Jerome Bonaparte has completely surpassed Napoleon III in history.

This kind of happiness was something he could never experience in his previous life. Although Jerome Bonaparte is still far behind his uncle.

The wedding lasted until the evening and came to an end. Amid the cheers of everyone, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta left Notre Dame de Paris and returned to the Tuileries Palace. The Bonaparte family's rule over France, At this moment it gradually stabilized.

That night, Jerome Bonaparte spent a wonderful night with Augusta.

Early morning on November 1st.

When the sky was still hazy, Jerome Bonaparte climbed up carefully from the bed, quietly left the bedroom and returned to the study.

During the preparations for the wedding, Jerome Bonaparte did not work anymore, so the secretary's office was crowded with many documents that needed him to read and correct.

All the documents were placed on the desk in the study. Looking at the pile of documents on the desk, Jérôme Bonaparte sighed, and then glanced at the pendulum clock in the corner of the study with his peripheral vision. The current time was morning. 6 o'clock, and it is expected that all files will be processed around 9 o'clock.

Just do it, Jérôme Bonaparte sat on a cushioned chair and read the contents of the document.

These include a report on grape growing in the Bordeaux province, a report on cooperatives in the Paris region, a summary of railway transportation...

Jérôme Bonaparte read all the contents carefully, sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling.

Unconsciously, nearly two hours had passed, and the door to the study room suddenly opened.

Hearing the movement at the door, Jerome Bonaparte raised his head and glanced in the direction of the door. Queen Augusta of the French Empire was standing there looking at Jerome Bonaparte.

"Huh? You're awake!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Augusta while lowering his head and looking through the contents of the document.

"Huh?" Augusta slowly came to Jerome Bonaparte and looked at the documents on Jerome Bonaparte's desk in surprise: "Why are there so many?"

"This is the content that has been handed over to me after layers of screening by various departments and the Secretariat!" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged and said: "I need to check all aspects of France. This work How can there not be too much content!”

"Then there's no need to work so hard!" Augusta said softly to Jerome Bonaparte. She was worried that Jerome Bonaparte's body would not be able to bear it.

"There is no way. Now all aspects need to be checked. If you are not careful, there will be a lot of big news everywhere." Jerome Bonaparte pointed to the document in his hand and said to Augustus: "This is the central province. Report on the cooperative!"

Valley/span Jérôme Bonaparte handed over the cooperative report to Augusta.

After reading it from top to bottom, Augusta looked at Jérôme Bonaparte in confusion and asked: "There seems to be nothing wrong with this report! Many people have not joined the cooperative!"

"This is precisely the biggest problem!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded helplessly: "According to this report, more than 70% of the farmers in their province have joined it! When did the farmers have such high enthusiasm! If every farmer would understand the benefits of cooperatives, why would I order all provinces to establish agricultural colleges in the first place!”

"What do you mean?" Augusta seemed to understand the subtext of Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Either the people below are fooling us, or someone is forcing the use of administrative orders to achieve goals for the sake of political performance!" Jérôme Bonaparte sneered at the corner of his mouth.

The bureaucracy is a virtuous class no matter where it is and at any time. They will do anything for political achievements.

Such people were also called cruel officials in ancient times.

"And not only the central part, but similar situations have also occurred in some areas in the south!" Jérôme Bonaparte took out a few documents from the pile of documents and sighed: "Professor Jean Dulles is a qualified professor, but his understanding of bureaucracy seems to be still in the ivory tower.”

"I don't think so!" Augusta expressed a different opinion.

"Oh? What do you think?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Augusta.

"The reason why these documents appear here is probably because your minister saw something fishy in them!" Augusta explained to Jerome Bonaparte: "Otherwise, he might not be able to reach your desk. .Didn’t you say that all documents were screened by various departments before being sent to you!"

"You have a point in saying that!" Jérôme Bonaparte gently stroked his chin.

"So, what are you going to do?" Now Augusta has fully assumed the role of wife and assistant.

"What else can we do? Of course we need to conduct an on-site investigation! Without investigation, we have no right to speak!" Jerome Bonaparte shrugged and said to Augusta, and then added: "Just treat it as a gift. We’re both on our honeymoon!”

"Okay!" Augusta had a happy smile on his face.

Jérôme Bonaparte continued to read the content below. Augusta was on the side helping Jerome Bonaparte organize what he had read.

On November 2, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta decided to leave Paris to tour the provinces, and their first stop was to the province where 70% of the farmers claimed to be vying to join cooperatives.

The result of the raid was just as Jérôme Bonaparte had expected. The vast majority of farmers in the province were coerced into joining cooperatives, and many farmers joined in confusion without even knowing what a cooperative looked like.

After some visits and investigations, Jérôme Bonaparte discovered that the vast majority of cooperations did not fulfill the obligations that cooperatives should have at all, but were instead a mess.

Only cooperatives formed by a very small number of prestigious clergymen, or cooperatives formed by slightly affluent farmers, can exhibit positive feedback phenomena.

Furthermore, the cooperatives in this province have not reached 70% as he said, and at best they are only about 40%.

Even so, the entire province was in chaos.

Later, Jérôme Bonaparte inspected the local agricultural schools and found that there was a problem of empty agricultural schools. Many agricultural schools could not recruit many agricultural students at all.

Special agricultural loans have given priority to nobles and large landowners, and the rich and powerful "first-rich groups" have begun to carry out small-scale land acquisitions with the help of loans.

Policies that were originally beneficial to farmers have turned into measures that "disable the people" in local areas.

The bureaucracy's policy of deceiving the superiors and forcibly merging the subordinates for the sake of efficiency made Jérôme Bonaparte seem to have returned to that era more than a hundred years later.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart. Any good policy would become harmful to the people as long as it was in the hands of irresponsible local officials.

Jerome Bonaparte, who realized the decadent bureaucracy, immediately dismissed the senior officials of the province and the mayors of the following cities, and appointed an official as a senior official. Although this official was a member of the (moderate) republican faction, Jérôme Bonaparte still chose to appoint him.

In the words of Jérôme Bonaparte: "I would rather have a republican official than an incompetent fool who harms the people."

After the new senior officials took office, they quickly selected a group of mayors from the city council who were familiar with grassroots business. Most of them were members of the Orthodox and Orleans factions who were familiar with grassroots business.

After the new senior officials and mayor took office, they immediately issued an order that farmers could dissolve themselves if they were unwilling to establish cooperatives.

Nearly 60% of cooperatives have been dissolved directly. Please contact Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan. comThe vast majority of farmers have returned to working alone.

Looking at the group of cheerful farmers in front of him, Jérôme Bonaparte shook his head again and sighed: "There is still a long way to go!"

With the thunderous blow in the first province, Jean Dulles, who understood Jérôme Bonaparte's attitude, immediately took action. The agricultural inspection team began to inspect the provinces that had overfulfilled the task of forming cooperatives.

Sure enough, all provinces that had exceeded their goals were annihilated.

Subsequently, Jean Dulles issued an order to dissolve unqualified cooperatives.

Jérôme Bonaparte also severely criticized those provinces that used administrative orders to complete their tasks, and once again dismissed incompetent senior officials and promoted a group of capable officials.
