At the urging of Empress Augusta, Jerome Bonaparte reluctantly put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

After a simple wash, Jérôme Bonaparte held the hand of Queen Augusta and headed to the restaurant under the leadership of his servants.

At this time, Franz Joseph, Princess Elisabeth and Prince Metternich were finishing the work in the restaurant. The appearance of Jerome Bonaparte and his wife made the three people in the restaurant put down their knives and forks and stood up at the same time.

"No need to get up!" Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand and said with a kind smile: "The Tuileries Palace does not have so many rules! You can treat this place as your own home!"

Franz Joseph and others sat down again, as did Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta.

Jerome Bonaparte sat next to Franz Joseph, and Augusta sat next to Queen Elizabeth.

After a while, the palace steward Mokar put Jerome Bonaparte's breakfast on a tray and placed it in front of Jerome Bonaparte and Queen Augusta. eggs and a glass of milk.

"Your Majesty, why do you just eat this?" Elizabeth, who was sitting next to Augusta, asked in confusion.

"Sissi, this food is enough to satisfy your hunger!" Queen Augusta responded to Elizabeth with a smile: "There are many people in the world who can't even eat this!"

"How could anyone not even be able to eat this?" Elizabeth couldn't help but say.

"Silly girl, does everyone live in an environment with no worries about food and clothing like you?" Queen Augusta responded to Elizabeth affectionately.

"Actually, it's normal for Sissi to have such thoughts! This is a gap caused by cognition. Augusta, don't forget what you said when you first followed me to the orphanage! "Jerome Bonaparte said to Augusta in an easy-going tone.

Thinking of her stupid remarks, Augusta's face turned slightly red, and she scolded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't talk about the past anymore!"

Looking at the couple openly flirting in front of her, Elizabeth showed a hint of envy on her face. Will she and Franz Joseph do the same to them in the future?

Elizabeth carefully glanced at Franz Joseph who was sitting opposite him, and found that Franz Joseph had a serious expression and seemed to be thinking about something!

"In fact, people living at the top of society can only understand the current situation through limited information! No matter whether it is the newspapers published or the government work reports, real data will never be recorded! They will only choose to report the good side to the higher-ups , and the worse side is hidden." After Jerome Bonaparte took a bite of the sandwich, he glanced at Franz Joseph beside him: "There are still many people in this world who are still It’s not out of the food and clothing line! Take Paris for example... Sissi, what kind of city is Paris in your eyes!"

"Ah!" Princess Sissi pondered for a moment after she came back to her senses, and Jérôme Bonaparte responded carefully: "Your Majesty, I think Paris is a beautiful and hard-working city. It is of great significance to France and even the world. It’s a big fortune!”

"Sissi, thank you for your praise of Paris!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Princess Sissi: "Paris is a beautiful and hard-working city as you said, but behind this beauty and hard-working But it is a city supported by hundreds of thousands of sans-culottes. They are like worker bees in a hive, working hard and without complaint in this huge hive, producing high-quality honey for us to enjoy.

These people are both the pillars of Paris and the silent majority! They are everywhere, but they can be forgotten at any time.

However, these are the people who built the entire Paris, but the salary they receive can only allow them to struggle on the line of food and clothing.

In Paris, nearly 70% of the workers were unable to obtain enough food to sustain their lives. Bread hard enough to fill a stick became the thing they relied on to sustain their lives.

Just a little unrest can drive them into abject poverty, and poverty will undoubtedly lead to large-scale unrest!

Those sans-culottes who can't survive don't care whether you are a king or an emperor. They will use their lives as a bet to overthrow all those superior guys! "

"God! It's so terrible!" Elizabeth responded with a trembling voice.

At this time, Franz Joseph also had a look of fear on his face, and the Great Revolution a few years ago still appeared in his mind.

"Is it scary?" Jérôme Bonaparte chuckled, then nodded and said: "For us, the sans-culottes are indeed a terrifying force, but this force is not invulnerable! In the end, The simplest way is to massacre! Just kill all the people who want to resist! We have used this method many times since the beginning of the royal government!"

Elizabeth's fear was even worse, and Franz Joseph somewhat agreed with Jerome Bonaparte's statement.

"However, this method is only a temporary solution, not the root cause! Killing the resisters will not solve the problem! On the contrary, it will make some people spontaneously unite to fight against each other, especially now that we are going through a change!" Rome Bonaparte changed the topic and gradually brought the topic to the industrialization system: "With an industrial change, the old agricultural production system will gradually collapse with the development of industrialization! The ancient aristocrats who cannot adapt to the new system , will also gradually decline in this impact, and even die!"

"Impossible!" Franz Joseph shouted out of fear. He had a conservative mind and could not accept Jerome Bonaparte's point of view!

"Franz, why do you think this is impossible?" Jerome Bonaparte asked Franz Joseph in sharp words.

"Because...because..." Franz Joseph racked his brains and couldn't answer.

"Your Majesty, can you also answer this question?" Prince Metternich said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Of course!" Jerome Bonaparte nodded and responded to Metternich.

"Because the nobles have more wealth than ordinary people! If the times really want to change, they will develop faster than ordinary people!" Prince Metternich responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Mr. Metternich, investment is not land management! It is true that pioneers can avoid some detours, but how can you guarantee that your investment will be correct!" Jerome Bonaparte asked rhetorically, "It only takes one game A crisis can turn the savings of countless nobles into bubbles! How many nobles who only have ancient surnames but no wealth matching their surnames are truly convinced!

During the Great Revolution, how many nobles who fled to other countries rose up again with their surnames! "

Hearing Jerome Bonaparte's words, Metternich was speechless. He remembered the difficulties his family faced after the French Revolutionary Army confiscated their property in the Netherlands.

"The bourgeoisie spawned by industrialization will slowly destroy the entire aristocratic system with its abundant financial resources and then replace it!" Jerome Bonaparte revealed a cruel reality to Franz Joseph.

Without him, Franz Joseph would have understood this only after suffering severe beatings for decades.

"Your Majesty, is there nothing that can be done to stop it?" Elizabeth asked Franz Joseph with a pale face.

"It's a pity!" Jérôme Bonaparte responded to them with a long sigh: "No force can prevent its birth, because it is not something that can be seen and touched, and it is a trend. First mover Some countries are undergoing changes, and some have already completed changes. If you resist this change, you will become a victim of the first-mover country!"

Everyone except Elizabeth knew that the first countries mentioned by Jérôme Bonaparte were Britain and France.

The gap between industrialized countries and agricultural countries was vividly reflected in the Crimean War!

"The nobles will struggle in this wave of change, but no matter how hard they struggle, only a small number of nobles will survive! The vast majority of nobles will be drowned. Of course, this process will take decades. Time!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Franz Joseph: "During this period, those nobles with noble surnames will still be active on the political stage and become the trendsetters of the times, but for the overall environment For the time being, the nobles no longer have the ability to completely rule the country! They must learn to share power with some people, just like your Austrian Empire did with Baron Rothschild! In the future, more and more people will step forward and take their place. The position of the nobles weakens the influence of the nobles!”

Since Astam Rothschild was canonized as a baron by Emperor Franz, find Book Garden www.zhaoshuyuan.com The influence of the Rothschild family in the Austrian Empire is increasing day by day, which has a great influence on the entire Austrian economy.

"Mr. Rothschild is already a baron of the empire!" Franz Joseph retorted.

"This is just a disguise for his convenience! I'm afraid the Rothschild family's loyalty to Austria cannot be compared with those of the ancient nobles!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to Franz Joseph.

Franz Joseph was silent, Jerome Bonaparte was right, the Rothschild family's loyalty to the empire was limited to superficial loyalty!

"Franz, an era called industrialization has arrived. Those who are unwilling to embrace industrialization will inevitably be abandoned by the times! Even the oldest empire will only be crushed if it cannot adapt to the wheels!"
