Percy described to Jerome Bonaparte his "contributions" in Auxerre City, which included but were not limited to widening the streets, dredging the river, establishing a unified water supply system, and renovating old houses in Auxerre.
Through Percy's account of Georges Eugène Haussman, Jerome Bonaparte could be certain that the Georges Eugène Haussman Percy spoke of was indeed the same person as Baron Haussman, a pioneer of the Second Empire's modernization of Paris in history.
The modernized structure of Paris, under the hands of Baron Haussman, had not undergone major changes until almost the 21st century, a perfect combination of classical aesthetics and modern industry.
This is exactly the person I am looking for!
Jerome Bonaparte secretly resolved in his heart to find an opportunity to "invite" this modernizer of Paris to the city and appoint him as the "designer" of its modernization.
