Eugenie with money [Grandet]

Bono, who has become the leader of a big party, looked at Eugenie's brisk smile and couldn't think of where he got the courage back then. He thought that he could tie such a woman to his side through marriage.

Fortunately, I didn't succeed back then, otherwise how could I have achieved what I am today?This is Bono's real thought at this moment.Now he has to confirm Eugenie's true intentions: "Miss Eugenie, you know what terrible things will happen once the people find out that the current government will not guarantee the safety of their property no matter what channels they use."

"What happened 30 years ago, if it happens again 30 years later, there won't be so many people afraid." Eugenie didn't have any psychological burden.

She is indeed not going to engage in politics, but that doesn't mean she is willing to let her property be coveted all the time.There is no need for any royal family to exist as long as it has the right to arbitrarily decide the lives of others—except for heinous criminals, no one's life should be taken away casually.

Bono understood Eugenie's meaning.As a native Frenchman and a former journalist, Bono knew better than Eugenie the guillotine that a small number of French people do not want to mention.

If the people get out of control, the worst result is to set up the guillotine on the streets of Paris again.Bono, who has already devoted himself to politics, has no psychological burden on this point—how can a new system be established without destroying the spokesmen of the old system?

The streets of Paris were completely chaotic, countless floor tiles were picked up and built into fortifications, and many citizens gathered behind the fortifications to fight against the soldiers who were called into the city.Some of them took out their own flintlock guns, and those without guns held long swords or even wooden sticks they could find, and guarded the fortifications they built.

These fortifications are distributed in all the blocks of Paris, and it is difficult for the horses of the army to run smoothly through a completed street.This annoyed the officers who led the team. No matter what they ordered, the soldiers had to drive the horses carefully, and they had to avoid stones thrown from nowhere.

The supply of supplies in Paris is even more scarce, and supplies from all over the country cannot be brought in at all, and even the royal family is facing a situation where they cannot eat.The new French king, the cabinet, and the House of Nobles kept meeting. Apart from scolding and buck-passing, no one could find a better way to solve the immediate predicament.

After a meeting with the new French king, the queen asked to have a talk with him, but was refused, which has never happened before.The queen, who had aged a lot, complained to the chief lady with a gloomy face: "It turns out that no matter who ascends the throne, he will turn a blind eye to his helpers."

The chief female officer who has been following the queen had no choice but to say vaguely: "The king should be worried about the current situation."

Who is not anxious?No one wants to see the empire they inherit become a mess.The queen resented: "I have advised him to seek help from the Holy Alliance, but he forgot the importance of quickly suppressing these uprisings for the sake of military expenses."

The chief female officer smiled bitterly. If you don't pay the military expenses of the Holy Allies for sending troops, and remember the importance of quickly suppressing the uprising, others will not send troops for you in vain.But she still said: "The Holy Alliance has now sent troops to Britain, and Portugal and Spain are also in turmoil. Even if they are asked to send troops, they cannot send troops."

The queen sighed, wondering why there are so many dissatisfied with the royal families in the whole mainland and even the British Isles all of a sudden.They bloomed everywhere, making the royal families of all countries overwhelmed. Even if the Holy Alliance made a move, the fire was just extinguished in the front foot, and the fire rose again in the back foot.

Eugenie, who secretly supported these uprisings, was still in her small apartment, quietly watching the changes in the European continent. No matter how many letters Nucingen sent to Saumur, asking her to return to Paris, she believed that she was still there Sad, wanting to be comforted by my father's side, I declined.

According to what Eugenie learned, Earl Nergerand actually took advantage of the frequent uprisings in various places, and the new King of France did not have time to kill him, the confidant of the former King of France, and started to go out to contact members of the House of Nobles.

Eugenie didn't want to hear any news about this person whose investment of more than 3000 million francs failed to produce benefits. She told Pablo: "This Earl of Niegeland should not be so active in any place in Paris. place."

Pablo's execution ability has always been top-notch. His subordinates accurately ambushed Earl Niejlang's mount. While Niejlang himself was still on the horse, three of the four legs of the horse were simultaneously broken by cold guns, instead of Like Grandet's horse, it was tethered in the stable and had a broken leg.

Earl Nijlan, who was in his sixties, was thrown off his horse all of a sudden, and the consequences can be imagined.The doctor concluded that if there were no miracles, Earl Niejran would spend the next few days in bed. If he was well taken care of, he could live for five years or even longer.

Bono took the initiative to take advantage of the news that Earl Negeran was injured, calling it an internal struggle among the royal family, and believed that the new French king no longer tolerated the former French king's important ministers.

Several people in the House of Lords and the cabinet shared the same opinion as Bono, and no one associated the accident of Earl Niegeland with Eugenie. They just wanted to seize the vacuum of power behind Niegeland.

No matter how the upper class struggled for power and profit, their right to have a full stomach was not satisfied, and their dissatisfaction with the royal family reached its peak.There is no shortage of radicals in any era, and these people took the lead in calling for the overthrow of the French royal family.

The content of the slogan is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is to ask the royal family to return the property they have exploited over the years to the people.Apart from ordering the army to suppress it, the royal family could not think of new ideas. Even if someone proposed to bribe those leaders, it was rejected internally.

Because the royal family is now in the hands of individuals, the treasury can't even get the money to buy people, and members of the royal family are unwilling to contribute their property.

The helpless army was ordered to raise their guns again and aim at their compatriots.At this time, Bono's previous role in bribery of lower-level officers emerged. The lower-level officers led their own soldiers and asked their superiors to pay everyone their military salaries before they dealt with the uprising people.

How can the treasury, which can't even get the money to buy people out, get a lot of military pay?The demands of the soldiers were naturally regarded as a manifestation of disobedience to orders, and even those who took the lead in asking for military pay were punished.

The mutiny came quickly, and almost overnight, most of the soldiers in Paris stood on the side of the people. They tied the same red ribbons on their arms as the uprising people, turned their guns and led the people to march towards the palace together.

The streets of Paris became a sea of ​​red ribbons. People shouted slogans to overthrow the royal family. Along the way, some people came out of various simple fortifications to join. When they arrived in front of the palace, there were already 10,000+ people.

Shocking slogans echoed outside the palace, and the new French king no longer had the high spirits he had when he announced the review of La Saunière. He had to ask the queen for help again, hoping that the queen could give him some advice.

What can the queen think?All I can think of is to escape from the back door of the palace after putting on makeup with the new French king, and then go to other countries to organize a government in exile, and then wait for an opportunity to return to France to seize power.

Ideals are always beautiful, but the French people, who are more and more experienced in struggle, cannot let the royal family members escape from their noses again. The queen, the new French king and their few poor followers have not finished their makeup , became a prisoner.

"Miss Eugenie," Bono, who came to visit quietly, narrated the scene to Eugenie: "You haven't seen how ugly the queen's face is, and her chief lady directly complained that the French king did not listen to the queen's advice earlier. New The king of France blamed the queen for not giving all the money to pay for the military, which made them suffer a crushing defeat."

Dog eats dog afterwards, what Eugenie couldn't imagine, what she wants to remind Bono is: "Mr. Bono, arresting the royal family members is the first step. How to restore order in Paris and let the people's lives settle down as soon as possible, is the first step." It is the most important thing. Otherwise, how they oppose the royal family today will oppose you tomorrow."

Bono did not understand why Eugenie had to separate himself so clearly now—without the support of Eugenie's property, Bono's Free French Party would not have become the party leading this uprising.If Eugenie consented now, she could take any place in the new government.

However, he followed Eugenie's suggestion, negotiated with those who led the uprising, and soon established a provisional government, and then issued an order to the merchants in Paris not to hesitate to sell to ensure the people's daily needs.

The bankers were summoned again in order for them to guarantee the supply of funds.Unexpectedly, the bankers are also full of bitterness - the new law king's policy of over-issuing currency will damage the reputation of the bankers the most. People don't care who issued the currency, they only know that their money is deposited in the bank Yes, it is also the bank that pays you only half of your deposit.

If the people hated the French royal family only three points, the hatred for bankers reached five points.Before order was restored, all banks were hit the hardest among all industries.

Now the provisional government wants bankers to guarantee the supply of funds. These people have said that they can't come up with more funds.

Bo Nuo, the leader of the new government, smiled and said an idea: "The government can issue bonds to the bankers. With these bonds, the bankers will be compensated with national tax revenue every year."

Seeing that the bankers were still shaking their heads, Bono threw out another big news: "If the bankers disagree, then the government has to immediately establish a state-owned bank. The director of bank affairs, the interest rate and business of each bank must be approved by the state-owned bank, otherwise it is illegal."
