Make France Great Again

Chapter 549: The Bank of France after changing dynasties

Count Argu understood that the fledgling emperor no longer needed him as an "old man" to guard the door of the Bank of France for him. He wanted to imprint his will on the treasure trove of the Bank of France and make the Bank of France obey his orders. Tool of.

Just like His Majesty Napoleon.

After all, no monarch likes his subjects to contradict him, especially when his subjects hold the lifeblood of France in their hands.

Thinking of this, Count Argu inevitably felt angry in his heart. Now he felt like a female cousin. Jerome Bonaparte, the prostitute, agreed to commit himself to him after being fooled.

When Jérôme Bonaparte felt that he no longer had any effect, he kicked him away.

Of course, this was just what Count Algu thought when he became angry.

As long as he calms down and thinks carefully, he will understand that his economic philosophy and the emperor's economic philosophy are destined to run counter to each other.

Forcibly staying on as president of the Bank of France will only intensify the conflict between the two parties. The best outcome would be for one of the parties to change its economic thinking or withdraw.

The emperor's character and vision destined him to never retreat, and the only one who could retreat was Count Argu.

If it were not for the previous contribution Count Argoux had made to the empire, Jérôme Bonaparte would not have privately invited Count Argoux to meet at the Elysee Palace, hoping that a dialogue could persuade him to continue to support his ideas. Instead, he directly opened a royal meeting and dismissed Count Argu from his position in public.

However, Count Argu was still unwilling to change his economic philosophy and even concocted "shock therapy".

It was only just now that Jérôme Bonaparte made up his mind to let Count Argoux leave his position as president of the Bank of France.

"Your Majesty, I will submit a resignation to you tomorrow!" Count Argu responded coldly to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Mr. Argu, why is this!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Count Argu hypocritically: "I was just lamenting the passage of time, you misunderstood me!"

"Your Majesty, as you just said. Time has passed, and in the blink of an eye I am almost 80! So please allow me to resign as president of France!" The emotional Count Argoux could only suppress his nausea and accompanied Jérôme .Bonaparte continued his performance.

"Okay then!" Jérôme Bonaparte seemed to regret Count Argu's resignation. He sighed and said to Count Argu: "Since you intend to leave, I won't force you!"

Later, Jérôme Bonaparte told Count Argoux that after he resigned as president of the Bank of France, he would leave a place for him in the Senate.

Count Argu just needs to clock in at the regular voting meeting of the Senate.

Count Argu knew that the purpose of the emperor's arrangement was not to leave an impression of being mean and unkind to the outside world.

Although the power of the Senate is far less than that of the Bank of France, it at least represents the attitude of the emperor.

In order to use his political resources to protect the next generation, Count Argu agreed to Jérôme Bonaparte's proposal.

After everything was settled, Jérôme Bonaparte invited Count Argoux to dinner.

The Count of Argoux could only accept Jerome Bonaparte's invitation, because this might be his last dinner with the emperor.

"Let's go!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Count Argu.

The Count of Argoux got up and followed Jérôme Bonaparte out of the room where he had first met the Emperor.

Standing at the door of the room, the royal steward Mokar saw the expressionless emperor and the pale and staggering Count Argu who was following the emperor. He immediately realized that this all-powerful count might have become someone beyond his rights. abandoned son.

Just when Moral was stunned, Jérôme Bonaparte's voice reached his ears: "Mokar, Mr. Argu is not in a good state of mind recently! Go over and help him!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Mokar responded quickly, then quickly came to Count Argu, bowed slightly, and helped Count Argu.

"Thank you!" Count Algu responded to Mokar in a low voice.

Now he has no trace of the arrogance he had when he took charge of the Bank of France, and looks more like a helpless old man.

"Nothing! Mr. Count!" Mokar replied to Count Algu with a standard smile on his face.

With the support of Mokar, Count Argu walked to the gate of the Elysee Palace.

Looking at the sky with only the afterglow remaining in the distance, Count Algu felt even more uncomfortable.

"Get in the car!"

Jerome Bonaparte's voice came from the carriage, and with the help of Mokar, Count Argou got into Jerome Bonaparte's carriage.

The carriage carried Jerome Bonaparte and Count Argoux from the Elysée Palace to the Tuileries Palace via the Champs Elysées.

After getting off the carriage, Jerome Bonaparte and Count Argoux entered the Tuileries Palace and went straight to the restaurant.

Taylor, who was the chef of the palace, appeared in front of Jérôme Bonaparte and asked him if he could serve the food.

"Okay!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and responded to Taylor.

Dishes from all over Europe were brought up on trays by the servants of the Tuileries Palace. Looking at these mouth-watering dishes in front of him, Jérôme Bonaparte was in a happy mood and suddenly felt that he could eat them and completely destroy them.

The Count of Argoux obviously did not have the appetite of Jerome Bonaparte. For him who lost the president of the Bank of France, no delicious food could restore his mood at this time.

Therefore, during the entire banquet, Count Argoux did not eat anything else except drinking a small amount of aperitif and eating a vegetable salad.

After dinner, Jérôme Bonaparte ordered Mokar to personally send Count Argou home.

Escorted by Morard, Count Argoux successfully returned to his mansion in Paris.

Mokar, who successfully sent Count Argoux back to the mansion, took advantage of the night to return to the Tuileries Palace in a carriage.

Early the next morning.

The man who claimed to be Count Argu's butler came to the Tuileries Palace in a carriage and handed Count Argu's resignation letter into the hands of the royal steward Mokar.

After receiving the resignation letter, Mokar immediately handed it to Jérôme Bonaparte in the study.

Jérôme Bonaparte opened the envelope and carefully read the contents of the resignation letter.

The Count of Argoux explained in his letter that the reason for his resignation was that he was too old and no longer had the energy to manage the Bank of France, so he begged the emperor to approve his resignation so that he could enjoy his old age.

After reading the resignation letter, Jérôme Bonaparte signed his name under the resignation letter, then called Mokar over and told him that he wanted to hold an urgent royal meeting to discuss the new position of president of the Bank of France. So he was ordered to invite the people to the imperial meeting, and the time was set at three o'clock in the afternoon.

"yes!"

After receiving the order, Mokar left the study. Jérôme Bonaparte, who stayed alone in the study, carefully thought about the suitable candidate for the new President of France.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is almost time for the imperial meeting to begin.

At this time, in the royal hall of the Tuileries Palace, representatives of the military, government, and bankers representing the three pillars of the empire gathered together, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Jérôme Bonaparte.

When the grandfather clock placed in the hall pointed to three o'clock, the side door of the palace hall slowly opened, and Jérôme Bonaparte, wearing black casual clothes, entered the palace hall.

"His Majesty!"

Everyone present saluted and greeted the emperor in front of them.

Jerome Bonaparte nodded, walked step by step to the center of the hall, stepped onto the steps and sat on the seat symbolizing the highest power of the empire.

Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting on the throne overlooking the pillars of the empire under the steps, felt that his whole body was full of power. This was the feeling that power gave him.

After being intoxicated for a moment, Jerome Bonaparte said: "Everyone! Just this morning, I received a resignation letter! The owner of the letter told me that because he was old, he no longer had the energy to manage the bank. thing!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately realized that the person who resigned should be Count Argu, who was vacant at the imperial meeting.

Several bankers in the banker camp who were close friends with Count Argu also changed their expressions slightly after realizing that Count Argu was likely to be "resigned".

The shareholders of the Bank of France who had some problems with Count Argoux and those who wanted to seek the position of president of the Bank of France showed joyful smiles on their lips.

"Your Majesty, is the person you are talking about Mr. Argoux?" Finance Minister Magnet asked Jérôme Bonaparte on behalf of everyone present.

"That's right! It's indeed Mr. Argoux!" Jérôme Bonaparte nodded and Magnet responded, then turned his gaze to Magnet and said regretfully: "Since Mr. Argoux insists on resigning, then I will also I had no choice but to agree to his request. There is now a vacancy in the position of President of the Bank of France. It is your responsibility as the Minister of Finance to recommend a new President of the Bank of France!"

In addition to the method of recommendation by shareholders within the bank, the president of the Bank of France found Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com Another way is to appoint the finance minister.

Of course, the appointment of the Finance Minister is not a random appointment. The person appointed as the president of the Bank of France must have the status of a shareholder of the Bank of France, and must be recognized by shareholders within the Bank of France.

If either of these two conditions is not met, then the President of France appointed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer will be useless.

The reason why Jérôme Bonaparte asked Magnet about the choice of president of the Bank of France was to show the Bank of France that he was dissatisfied with the conservative economic policies currently being pursued by the Bank of France.

Magne was stunned for a few seconds when asked by Jérôme Bonaparte, and then responded: "Your Majesty, I propose that Count Giles Lebesgue de Bemini serve as president of the bank!"
