Make France Great Again

At this moment, Cavour still doesn't know that after he left, Victor Inmanuel II immediately appointed his chief attendant, Marshal Lamamore of the Kingdom of Sardinia, to temporarily replace Cavour who left Turin The earl served as interim prime minister.

It took more than ten hours to leave Turin and go to Cavour, a city under the province of Savoyon (currently Savoy, which is still controlled by Sardinia) on the border between France and Sardinia. Finally arrived here after driving.

Chambery, once the capital of the Principality of Savoyon, is now one of the most populous cities in the Kingdom of Sardinia. The development of the entire city not only comes from the support of Turin, but also is closely related to France and Switzerland next door. The French low-end textile industry and the Swiss financial industry settled here, helping Chambery develop rapidly.

Now Chambery has become a city with the most foreign capital. The whole city is very different from people in other parts of the Kingdom of Sardinia in terms of spiritual outlook.

In this city, the language you can hear the most is not Piedmontese, but French with a Sardinian flavor.

Everyone in the city regards speaking French as the first honor, but the Piedmontese language has become the object of contempt.

You can only hear the mellow Piedmontese when you walk directly away from the city.

Although the peasants in the Savoyon countryside spoke the Piedmontese language, they had nothing to discuss. The last person was not the king of Sardinia, but the emperor Napoleon.

Especially after the death of the older generation who personally experienced Napoleon's devastation, the younger generation's love for Emperor Napoleon is getting higher and higher.

So much so that they often fantasize that there will be another person like Emperor Napoleon to help them overthrow the tyranny over them.

All in all, this city... no, it should be said that the entire Savoyon province is an out-and-out "Italian-style French province".

However, the entire province is not under the control of France.

When Cavour stepped off the train, a strong smell of France hit his face, which made Cavour feel uncomfortable.

Although he himself does not dislike French culture, it is really not helpless that the whole city like Chambery is Frenchized.

In particular, this city is also the land of dragon prosperity in the Principality of Savoyon.

The place where a family of Italian nationalists thrive is not so Italian.

It's really a bit of an Italian meeting!

At this moment, Prime Minister Cavour heard French with a Sardinian flavor, "Welcome to Chambery, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!"

Cavour, who came back to his senses, hurriedly looked at the speaker. This was a middle-aged man with a somewhat muscular build. He was none other than Victor Camillo Varney, a senior official of Chambery.

"Hello, Senior Officer Varney!" Cavour responded to the senior official in front of him with a smile in Piedmontese.

Seeing this, the senior officials immediately realized that Prime Minister Cavour was a pure nationalist, and he quickly apologized to Cavour in Piedmontese, "Your Excellency, I have not changed my mind just now!"

"Nothing!" Cavour shook his head and responded to the senior official in Varney, "Chambéry has a special geographical location, so it is deeply influenced by French culture!

I can understand this! "

(Lyon: ??? My Italian is about to become the official language, what is going on!)

Seeing that Cavour did not intend to blame, Varney immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then stretched out his hand to invite Cavour to join him in the banquet, and said that many business owners, bank bosses and textile industry bosses can't wait Meet Prime Minister Cavour.

"En!" Cavour did not choose to refuse, he nodded and agreed to the invitation of the senior officer in Varney.

Therefore, under the leadership of senior officials from Varney, Cavour first arrived at the provincial government of Savoyon, had a simple meeting with officials at all levels of the provincial government, and encouraged them to work hard for the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Immediately afterwards, with the farewell of officials from the provincial government, Prime Minister Cavour followed them to the next place—one of the royal palaces of the old Principality of Savoyon, which is now bought by a wealthy French businessman.

Varney told Prime Minister Cavour that this meeting was organized by the wealthy French businessman.

Hearing this, Prime Minister Cavour couldn't help but frown slightly.

Seeing this situation, senior Varney officials carefully asked whether Prime Minister Cavour was dissatisfied with this arrangement.

Cavour shook his head and told the senior officials in Varney that he just thought of some things that had not been dealt with in the Royal Palace of Turin.

After hearing this, the senior officer in Warney relaxed his nervous expression again.

Soon, Cavour and Varney arrived here together, and the two soldiers in the uniform of the French Empire guarding the old palace hurriedly made way for them.

Cavour frowned again, and he asked the senior officials in Varney again why there were French soldiers in Chambery.

Senior officials from Varney responded to Cavour eloquently, saying that these soldiers were not regular French soldiers, but because the wealthy French merchants loved the empire, and the clothes they wore were nothing more than the French army clothes purchased by the wealthy merchants themselves!

Situations like this are not very common in Chambery.

These "armies" wearing French uniforms also participated in the formation of the National Guard in the Chambery area...

After quietly listening to the response of the high-ranking officer in Varney, Cavour's expression became increasingly ugly.

He told the senior officials in Varnay with severe measures that foreign friends must be prevented from joining the National Guard formed by the Kingdom of Savoyon.

"This will affect the law and order of the entire city!" The senior official Varney retorted to Cavour.

"It would be better to spend more money than to let those people occupy the quota of the National Guard!" Earl Cavour responded uncompromisingly to the senior official Varney.

Seeing this situation, the senior officials in Varney had no choice but to say on the surface that they would definitely do what Prime Minister Cavour did.

Anyway, Cavour did not live long in Chambery.

After he left, the whole Chambery still had the final say.

Of course, the senior officials in Varney didn't know that at this moment, Cavour was already considering replacing the senior officials in Varney.

For Cavour, although it was troublesome to replace a high-ranking official, it could be done if he wanted to.

With different thoughts, the two soon arrived at the gate of a palace. The senior officer in Varney pushed open the door and invited Cavour to get off the car.

Cavour jumped out of the carriage, and followed Varney into the palace.

As soon as Cavour entered the hall, he was immediately welcomed by a middle-aged man in a simple black coat. He stretched out his hand and said to Cavour, "Prime Minister Cavour, welcome!"

Cavour looked at the man in front of him, he always felt as if he had met him somewhere.

While shaking hands with the middle-aged man, Cavour asked, "I seem to have seen you somewhere?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said to Cavour, "Prime Minister Cavour, we probably met each other in Paris a few years ago!

At that time, I had the honor to attend the banquet hosted by our Emperor His Majesty!

It's just that I didn't have enough funds to shake your hand directly! "

Cavour smiled slightly at the middle-aged man, and then said with a hint of sarcasm, "Now you are a big shot in Chambery, and our high-ranking officials have to give you this face!"

The middle-aged man responded modestly, "It's thanks to the high-ranking officials in Varney who gave me this opportunity, otherwise, I can only be an unknown person!"

"May I ask, what do you do?" Cavour asked the middle-aged man in front of him curiously.

"At present, my main business is to provide support for high-quality enterprises in the Chambery area (that is, a blank paper)!" The middle-aged man responded to Prime Minister Cavour.

"Mr. Wilson's bank has provided sufficient loans to many businesses in Chambers, and our railway is also thanks to the help of Wilson's bank!" The senior official Varney also chimed in.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I think Chambery's geographical location is superior and there is a lot of room for improvement..." Wilson peddled the idea of ​​expanding Chambery's urban area to Cavour.

After listening to Wilson's words, Cavour took some action.

However, he was a little worried about whether this would change the debt of the Chambery provincial government.

"Your Excellency, as far as I know, the Paris provincial government has also borrowed a lot of money, but their current debt is still good!

So, we don't need to worry about this problem! " Wilson responded to Cavour swearing.

Of course, Wilson never mentioned the large amount of housing in the hands of the Seine provincial government.

If the housing prices in the Paris area rise too much, then Jerome Bonaparte will naturally order the Seine to release housing to meet the demand of the market.

At the same time, continue to add a large number of low-rent housing to suppress the rise in rent.

In the final analysis ~ www.readwn.com ~ housing prices and demand are complementary.

The more demand there is, the higher the prices will be.

Cavour, who didn't know much about housing in Paris, believed Wilson's remarks, and he nodded in agreement with Wilson's thoughts, "Mr. Wilson, you can discuss this issue with Valney!

As long as it is beneficial to Chambery! "

A look of joy flashed in the eyes of Wilson and Varney, and their plan to expand Chambery could finally be implemented.

Of course, the purpose of the two people to expand Chambery is different. One sincerely wants Chambery to become an international city and attract more people, while the other wants to issue Savoy Bank’s shares in a disguised form through the real estate plan. Bank notes, thus passing on the crisis of the Industrial Bank of France to the Kingdom of Sardinia.

I forgot to mention that the Savoy Bank, the only one in the Savoyon region that has the right to issue bank notes, has been controlled by the bank that Wilson has taken over, and behind the Wilson Bank is the Industrial Bank of Paris.
