Make France Great Again Chapter 832

Last URL: November 2, 1855.

When the morning light cut through the hazy veil shrouded in the sea of ​​Rouen, a steam passenger ship slowly entered the port of Rouen from a distance.

After the passenger ship stabilized, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta in casual clothes walked step by step towards the Rouen pier below on the steps leading to the port.

Soon, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta stood at the port of Rouen.

Seeing the crowds coming and going at the port, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta smiled at each other.

After more than a month, they finally returned to their country again.

"I'm back at last!" Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but sigh.

"yes!

"Augusta also responded.

Just when Jerome Bonaparte and Queen Augusta felt that the journey was difficult, Mocar approached Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta and asked them in a low voice if they would go to Rouen City Hall with Rouen. Ang's officials.

"No need!" Jerome Bonaparte decisively refused Mocart, "I just passed by here, there is no need to alarm the officials of Rouen!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Mokar bowed and responded.

Immediately afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta were arranged by Mocar in a luxury hotel in Rouen City. Mocar personally went to Rouen train station to buy the purchase for the Jérôme Bonaparte couple to go to Paris. train ticket.

After sitting on the sofa and waiting quietly for more than an hour, the door rang again, and Jerome Bonaparte got up and came to the door and asked, "Who?"

"Your Majesty, I'm Mokar!" Mokar's voice came in from outside the door.

This guy, didn't I ask him to call me Mr.

Jerome Bonaparte complained in his heart, and then opened the door.

After the door was opened, Jerome Bonaparte realized that Mocar was not the only one standing at the door.

Behind Mokar, there was a guy who looked familiar but couldn't remember anything.

"Who are you?" Jerome Bonaparte looked curiously at the people who followed Mocart.

"Your Majesty, I am Adolphe Leclerc, Mayor of Rouen!" Mayor Leclerc, who was behind Mokar, hurriedly introduced himself.

Jerome Bonaparte glared at Mocar after listening to Leclerc's introduction.

Seeing this, Mocar quickly explained to Jerome Bonaparte, "Your Majesty, Mayor Leclerc and I just met by chance on the road! I didn't go to the city hall to look for Leclerc!"

Adolphe Leclerc, who was standing beside him, also said in agreement, "Your Majesty, the Director of Mokar is right! The Director and I just met by chance on the street."

"Come in!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Adolphe Leclerc and Mocar in a sullen voice.

Adolphe Leclerc and Mocar entered the room. Queen Augusta on the sofa also stood up and said to Leclerc after seeing Mayor Leclerc open, "Mr. Leclerc, Hello!"

"His Majesty the Queen, hello!" Leclerc hurriedly saluted Queen Augusta, "Please forgive me for coming here without saying hello!"

"It's nothing!" Queen Augusta shook her head and responded to Leclerc, "My husband and I didn't notify you because we were worried about causing unnecessary trouble to you!

My husband and I are delighted that Mr. Leclerc was able to come over! "

"Augusta is right! We're glad you came over!

Now that Leclerc has come, there is no reason for Jerome Bonaparte to drive him away. He stretched out his hand and invited Mayor Leclerc to sit down.

Afterwards, Leclerc reported to Jerome Bonaparte the development of the Rouen region, as well as the financial revenue and expenditure.

From Leclerc's hands, Jerome Bonaparte learned that the development of the Rouen region had not stopped or even regressed because of the cessation of the war.

On the contrary, because of the end of the war, the development speed is faster than that during the war.

The reason for this is that the city of Rouen relies on semi-finished textiles from overseas (mainly Britain and the United States) for processing, and then exports overseas to earn processing profits.

In Rouen during the war, everything had to make concessions for the war, which made the original textile industry orders more inclined to low-cost orders, so the profits earned by the Rouen area also decreased with the reduction of orders.

Now, after the war, the Rouen region is able to obtain semi-finished textiles from overseas for secondary processing, thereby making huge profits.

"Your Majesty, our city hall plans to take advantage of Rouen's geographical advantages to establish a steel industrial park in Rouen! In this way, Rouen can not only meet the city's steel needs, but also meet the needs of other cities in Normandy, Steel needs of the town!" Mayor Leclerc reported ambitiously to Jérôme Bonaparte.

"Very good! Your town hall's idea is very good," said Jérôme Bonaparte with satisfaction, nodding his head to Leclerc. "The Rouen region should not only consolidate and develop the textile industry, but also have the courage to explore other fields!

I think you should expand not only in the field of steel, but also in the field of chemical industry!

The textile dyes you make are closely related to the chemical industry!

You, the mayor, should think more about the issue of artificial dyes and try to make the products from Rouen available all over the world! "

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will follow your teachings and make the chemical industry bigger and stronger!" Leclerc assured Jerome Bonaparte.

"However, you must remember that nothing can be rushed! The more anxious you are, the easier it will be for bad things to happen!" Jerome Bonaparte warned Leclerc again.

"Yes!" Leclerc nodded again.

Leclerc then asked Jerome Bonaparte if he would like to go with him to Rouen City Hall to "instruct" the officials of Rouen City Hall.

"I don't think this is necessary!" Jerome Bonaparte shook his head and refused Leclerc, "The development of your Rouen City Hall is quite good, and you don't need the guidance of a layman like me!

Just keep going! "

Although Leclerc was a little disappointed in Jerome Bonaparte's reluctance to go to Rouen City Hall, he assured Jerome Bonaparte that he would follow Jerome Bonaparte's teachings .

"Okay! That's all I have to say!" Jerome Bonaparte turned his attention to Mocar. "How about the train tickets I asked you to buy?"

"Your Majesty, the train will depart at 3:00 pm!" Mocar replied immediately to Jerome Bonaparte.

"3 o'clock in the afternoon!" Jerome Bonaparte took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time.

It was already around 11 o'clock, and it was only more than 4 hours before the train started.

Jerome Bonaparte raised his head and said to Leclerc with a smile: "Mr. Leclerc! If you don't dislike it, you can stay and dine with us!"

A look of joy immediately appeared on Leclerc's face. Sitting at the same dining table with the emperor was something he could not even dream of.

"It is my honour, Your Majesty!" said Leclerc, bowing again to Jerome Bonaparte.

At 11:30 in the morning, the owner of the hotel, who knew that he had encountered a nobleman, personally brought lunch to Jerome Bonaparte's room, and then left the room.

[PS: The boss doesn't know that Jerome Bonaparte is the emperor, he is just someone who can let the mayor of Leclerc accompany him, probably a certain prince in Paris. 】

Jérôme Bonaparte, who was sitting at the dining table, raised his glass to send blessings to Leclerc, "I hope Rouen can prosper more and more under your leadership, Mayor Joseph Leclerc!

Rest assured, the Empire will not forget everyone who contributed to it! "

After speaking, Jerome Bonaparte and Joseph Leclerc clinked glasses with each other, and then drank the red wine in the glasses.

The lunch lasted for nearly an hour before it ended, and the well-fed Jerome Bonaparte and Adolphe Leclerc parted outside the hotel. (Adolphe Leclerc originally wanted to send Jerome Bonaparte to the train himself, but Jerome Bonaparte refused.)

At 2:25 pm, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta boarded the train, this time in first class.

Compared with the messy third-class cabins, the first-class cabins are extraordinarily quiet, and there are only about 20 people in the entire carriage.

During the whole trip, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta did not meet a new friend.

Because of the first-class guests, every one of them looked so inaccessible.

The train arrived in Paris around 10 am the next day.

Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta, who got off the train, met Jerome Paterson and a group of soldiers on the platform.

When the guests who were also sitting in the first class cabin saw Jerome Patterson, their faces invariably showed surprise.

Jerome Paterson, who was standing in front of Jerome Bonaparte, shouted in a sonorous tone, "Your Majesty Emperor Jerome, His Majesty Queen Augusta, welcome back to Paris !"

The expressions of the first-class guests who heard this changed again, and many guests showed a look of regret on their faces.

Had they been able to converse with the two majesties on the train, their fates would have been very different.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded at Jerome Paterson, and then left the train station with Jerome Paterson.

On the way to the carriage, Jerome Bonaparte asked Jerome Paterson how he knew that he and Augusta were on this train!

Jerome Paterson told Jerome Bonaparte that Paris received a telegram from Rouen last night. The telegram said that the emperor and the queen had already departed by train to Paris, so they appeared here.

"That guy from Leclerc..."
