When Richard Metternich kindly reminded him, Jerome Bonaparte merely smiled at him.
In this world, no one understands better than Jerome Bonaparte whether there are still gold mines on Romanian soil.
In fact, due to technical limitations, the thousand-year-long extraction has only mined small amounts of gold and silver within Romania.
There are still many gold mines within Romania that have not been discovered, and the claim of complete depletion is simply unfounded.
Even now, let alone in the 21st century, Romania has reported discoveries of 8 million ounces (approximately 227 tons) of gold mines.
All in all, while Romania's gold mine yield may not compare to "golden lands" like California and Melbourne, it is among the top in Europe.
To be fair, apart from Russia, no other European country can match Romania.
Then, Jerome Bonaparte remarked, "Gold mining is essentially a gamble on luck!
If you truly strike gold, then naturally, it's the best outcome!
