Make France Great Again

After the conversation with the French businessman Wilson, Cavour, accompanied by Mrs. Varney, met with the famous businessmen and bankers in the hall in turn, encouraging them to continue to work hard for the prosperity of Chambery, and at the same time promised Will consider implementing some tax-free preferential policies in Chambery.

Foreign companies and bankers applauded Cavour after hearing about the possibility of tax exemption.

The reason why these foreign-funded companies came to Chambery was because they valued Chambery's low labor costs, which was the only thing Chambery could offer.

If Cavour could cut some of their tax cuts, they would make even more money.

After saying this, Cavour ordered the servant serving the banquet to prepare a glass of red wine for him. After a while, the servant brought the red wine to Cavour.

Cavour picked up the red wine in his hand and said loudly to everyone present, "Everyone, please be quiet!"

Everyone in the hall stopped talking, and they turned their gazes to Cavour.

Then, Cavour continued to say to everyone present, "Everyone, I still have official duties! Please forgive me for not being able to stay for too long. This glass of wine represents my apology to you all!

For the rest of the time, let Varney accompany you to continue to have fun! "

As soon as Cavour finished speaking, he drank the red wine in the glass, then handed the red wine glass to the attendant beside him, and bowed to everyone present.

Everyone in the hall was stunned for a few seconds. Wilson, who was the first to react, hurriedly clapped his hands, and the rest of them also responded and clapped their hands too.

Applause sounded in the hall, and Cavour turned and left amidst the applause.

Original

Mrs. Valney caught up with Cavour on the steps outside the room, and said to him anxiously: "Your Excellency, how can you leave now? This is a welcome ceremony specially prepared for you by the Chambery business community." !"

Cavour stopped in his tracks and said lightly, "I've already met them, now I'm leaving!"

"You left, what do you do inside?" Mrs. Valney asked.

"Didn't I just say that? You can continue!" Cavour responded to Valney ***.

"This was originally to clean up the dust for you! You are leaving now, so how can it continue!" Mrs. Valner responded to Cavour with a bitter face.

"There is nothing that can't be held!" Prime Minister Cavour continued, "Isn't the purpose of those businessmen holding this banquet is to let me introduce some policies so as to reduce his tax payment.

I have told them just now that I will introduce some policies to help them reduce taxes!

Now that their goal has been achieved, it doesn't matter whether I stay here or not!

Valney, you only need to finish the second half of the banquet now. "

When Mrs. Valney heard this, he suddenly felt that what Prime Minister Cavour said did have some truth.

The task belonging to Cavour has indeed been completed, and it will not matter if he is not present now.

"By the way! I'm curious! Where did you get the news about my departure from Turin!" Cavour asked suspiciously. He remembered that he left Turin without such a big fanfare.

How on earth did Varney know that he left Turin!

"His Majesty the King sent us a telegram!" Mrs. Valney said to Cavour, "He telegraphed us the time of your arrival and asked me to take good care of you!"

"So that's the case!" Cavour showed a dazed expression, waved his hands and said to Varney, "I don't need your care!

Now, your task is to help me take good care of the guests inside!

We must let them have confidence in our Kingdom of Sardinia, only in this way can they invest more money in Sardinia! "

"Yes!" Varney responded sonorously.

sentence.

"By the way, there is also the matter of expanding Chambery just now! Let me tell you, there is not much money in Turin now, so it is very likely that you will not be able to allocate funds to you!

Your provincial government of Chambery must solve the gap by itself. If it is not possible, you can also borrow money from enterprises! ’ Cavour went on to say something to Mrs. Valnet.

After the economic crisis of the United States of America spread to the Kingdom of Sardinia, it completely turned the finances of the already depressed Kingdom of Sardinia into a mess.

Now Sardinia not only repays part of the British and French loans, but also repays the interest on the national debt of the stock exchange.

To make matters worse, they also paid interest to the railroad system.

The Minister of Finance of Sardinia has changed many people, but none of them has much to do with Sardinia's finances.

"Ah!" After hearing that Cavour had no money, Mrs. Valney opened her mouth and was speechless.

"Who caused the sudden economic crisis some time ago!" After Cavour finished speaking, he sighed again.

Immediately afterwards, Cavour boarded the carriage and left again, while Varney returned to the hall and had a drink with the merchants in the hall.

Cavour, who was sitting in the carriage, ordered the driver of the carriage to take him to the border between France and the Kingdom of Sardinia. After listening to Cavour's order, the driver had to choose to obey.

The carriage quickly left the urban area of ​​Chambery, and then drove westward all the way.

After galloping for more than an hour, the carriage slowly began to slow down until it came to a complete stop.

Then the coachman said to Cavour, "President Cavour, we are here!"

Prime Minister Cavour opened the door of the car. It was already dusk. The setting sun that was about to set in the sky turned the floating clouds into red, and the carriage cast a long and narrow shadow under the reflection of the setting sun.

Not far from the carriage, there is a group of soldiers and officers wearing uniforms of the Sardinian king. Behind them is a roadblock made of wood. The width of the roadblock and the roadblock can only accommodate one person. A carriage enters.

And about 100 meters behind the roadblock, there is a group of soldiers in French military uniforms, and there is also something similar to a roadblock in front of them.

"Thank you ***Varney for me!" Cavour said to the coachman lightly, and then he arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Sardinia with his suitcase.

"Who are you? Are you leaving the border?" The soldiers and officers of the Kingdom of Sardinia who were in charge of the investigation stopped him and asked after seeing Cavour arrive.

Cavour smiled and said to them, "I am Cavour, Camillo Cavour!"

After hearing Cavour's answer, the border officers and soldiers all showed disbelief on their faces. They couldn't believe that Cavour, the prime minister, went to France alone without an entourage.

Out of caution, the leading officer hoped that Cavour could produce evidence.

Cavour smiled and pinned the highest honor medal of the Kingdom of Sardinia on his clothes. After seeing the medal, the officer hurriedly saluted Cavour, "Prime Minister Cavour, please forgive my impoliteness!"

"En!" Prime Minister Cavour nodded and responded to the officer, "You have worked hard too! Now I can leave!"

The Sardinian officer hurried out of the way, allowing Prime Minister Cavour to leave Sardinia.

Cavour, who stepped away from the Sardinian border, continued to walk towards the territory of the French Empire. The French army in the distance quickly ran over when they saw this, and they asked the questions that Sardinia had asked again.

"I am Camilo Cavour, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia!" Cavour had no choice but to repeat what he had said before.

The French officer also saluted the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, and then asked Cavour if he needed help.

"Can you find me a carriage, I want to reach Lyon as soon as possible!" Cavour said to the French officer.

"Sorry, we don't have a carriage here, but you can

Go to a small town not far away, where there should be a carriage to Lyon! ’ the French officer responded to Cavour.

"Thank you!" Cavour thanked the French officer, and continued on foot.

After nearly half an hour of travelling, Cavour finally arrived in the town before dark.

Cavour, who entered the town, immediately found the most luxurious hotel in the town to stay in.

Although this hotel claims to be the number one in the town, the entire hotel is not as good as an ordinary hotel in Turin.

However, Cavour, who was not hypocritical himself, didn't particularly care.

After settling in for a while, he walked out of the town and asked the hotel owner if he had a carriage to Lyon.

The hotel owner told him that Cavour could take the only carriage to Lyon in the town at around 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, or he could rent one out by himself.

Considering that his time is precious ~www.NovelMTL.com~ Cavour decided to rent a carriage for the next day.

Cavour, who bid farewell to the hotel owner, returned to his residence, and then carried his suitcase in the town to look for a private carriage to Lyon the next day.

Soon, Cavour found a private carriage. After discussing the price with the coachman, Cavour entered the carriage, and the coachman drove the carriage to Lyon.

After the whole journey lasted for a day and a night, I finally arrived in Lyon in the afternoon of the second day.

Cavour, who had just arrived in Lyon, didn't even care about admiring the beautiful scenery of the Lyon area. He quickly went to the train station in the Lyon area and bought a train ticket to Paris at the train station.

Since the departure time of the train ticket was the next day, Cavour had to stay in a hotel in Lyon again. This time, the hotel where Cavour lived was no longer an expensive hotel.

After a night's rest, Cavour took the suitcase and got on the train to Paris again.

Accompanied by the ear-piercing whistle of the locomotive, the steam train started slowly.
