Harry Potter’s Morning Light

Chapter 1375: Last date

   Chapter 1375 The Last Date

Napolioni did not take Giorgioanna directly to the police station. He took her to the Tuileries Palace and came to the restaurant on the first floor. It looked like a well-decorated cafe. The reception of the club is also held here.

   "Your office will be here from now on." Napolioni said, "Before that, you have to re-arrange this place. More than one person complained to me that it doesn't look like a mansion for a ruler of a big country."

  Georgiana looked at those terrible pompoms, this kind of decoration may please girls, and suitable for dating.

   "Who designed it?"

   "Fontaine and Persier, you don't need them." He looked at the small dining tables and said, "You can also change the furniture, but don't make it like Versailles."

  "Don’t you ask Josephine’s opinion?"

   "I like the venue you set up last time."

   "You don't worry about being too luxurious." Georgiana reminded.

   "I need Lyon's machine to start work."

  Georgiana didn’t say anything any more, she began to look at this restaurant, which was almost as big as the Hogwarts Auditorium.

  In the early 18th century, because plagues and other plagues often ramped up and severely disrupted the order of life in the city, the High Court had to work together with municipal agencies to cope with the crisis in addition to daily case trials.

  The scope of their management is very wide, such as the wages of doctors during the plague, alms, begging, and even the city’s sanitation and garbage disposal are also under their control. The judges of the Paris High Court are also responsible for ensuring that the prices of daily necessities are reasonable, and they must supervise the quality of food. For this reason, they often argue with baker, fishmonger, butcher, and salt merchant.

When there was a supply crisis, there were judges who gave generously. For example, during the time of Louis XV, a dean was nicknamed "The Baker" because he spent most of his property in a severe famine. The Parisians imported grains.

People tend to think highly of this kind of people than those who spend money on themselves and extravagantly. This kind of donation has become his political capital. During the period of terror, in order to be unobtrusive, nobles seldom go out and dare not go out again. Wearing gorgeous clothes, the clothes are deliberately rumpled, so that people feel that they are not "rich".

  Showing wealth is never allowed, and the restaurant cannot be "simple" as it is now.

  When a person’s material meets certain conditions, it will turn into a spiritual need. Georgiana did not expect that she would actually have a foothold here.

  Compared with sweet potatoes and wheat, potatoes do not have that high temperature requirements. The temperature will germinate above 4 degrees, and storage is much more convenient than sweet potatoes, but potatoes are easily infected by late blight. Sharptal used to be a lecturer at a university before, and he was in contact with more advanced intellectuals. He thought that everyone's ability to accept and judge was as strong as him.

His promotion plan has the nature of "science popularization". Farmers can plant the land in the way he said, or use the original planting method. It is not mandatory, not to mention the Prussian soldiers who threatened farmers with guns and live ammunition as mentioned by Napoleon. Potatoes.

  The late blight was one of the main culprits of the Great Irish Famine in 1845, but it also had some human factors. The Corn Law protects the interests of British farmers, which is the same as the "Bread and Blood" movement in 1801.

Benefits are higher than the value of human life. Foreign grains will lower the price of food and cause damage to the interests of agricultural growers. The British judge will not donate his family property like the judge of the Paris High Court nicknamed "The Baker". Those who came out to help the victims might be sentenced to hang if they stole a piece of bread for the thief.

  After ten years of turmoil, there is finally peace in France. The vast majority of people want to settle down, but there are still a few rich people like "bakers" who are willing to spend their wealth for the people.

Loans to those bakeries, the bakeries can be repaid slowly in the future, there will not be famines forever, and the price of food will also drop. Some people love and hate guilds, but it is better to operate at a loss than to close down, and Napoleon They also agreed to exempt them from business tax for several years, as long as they get through this barrier.

The loan interest is not high, monthly interest is 1%, and annual interest is 12%. Lance did not use the law to restrain these bosses from "consciously" not lending usury. He set up inspectors to check the accounts of the bakery owner once a week and found special items. Only when funds are not used for special purposes will the police be arrested.

If Parisians are allowed to choose between the devil and the patrolman, then they will definitely choose the devil. The police chief Fouché is a thin and tall man with a very pale face, sparse red hair, wearing a simple black coat, and executives full of gold. The uniforms of silver ornaments formed a sharp contrast.

  He gave Georgiana a very cold feeling.

  In fact, think about it in another way. If the bakery owner can save money from other aspects with a loan, he can also make a profit. Winter is here, and fuel has become a topic that people who cannot go to the south can avoid. The army is also looking for more energy-efficient ovens. Even if there is no reward order, some people will ponder this matter. In the past, during the Egyptian expedition, The soldiers tried their best to cook the wheat grains. Whether it was fried, dried or boiled, it was not as delicious as bread. Even two cavalrymen committed suicide because they couldn't bear the hard life, and the army was almost mutiny. They walked from luxurious Italy to the barren land of Egypt, and lost a lot. Without comfortable camps and gorgeous furniture, this huge psychological gap is unacceptable to many people.

  Being a disciplined and law-abiding person, earning a living by diligence and honesty, baking sweet food like Jacob, is such an ordinary and stable life bad?

  The ups and downs of life is better for the kind of people with good psychological quality.

  In the end, the county guard passed the toll tax collected by Napoleon from selling fertilizer to the farmers. There is a shortage of fertilizer in the countryside, but no one in the French countryside has used human manure. If the fertilizer is good, they will buy it.

  But if the weather next year is still so cold, a bumper harvest will be impossible. They will doubt the fertilizer efficiency, and it will be hard to say whether they will buy the fertilizer from this "gold mine" in the future.

Simple people think about simple issues. Everyone has their own fears. The lion who can sleep soundly on the battlefield is most afraid of starvation riots, but Georgianna believes that he is not going to be next because of fear or shelter from the cold. Leaving Paris.

  "Silk is used for wall coverings in such a large hall?" Georgiana asked.

   "I have placed an order of 6 million." Napolioni said, "or you can make more silk skirts."

  "Didn’t you tell me to wear pants?"

   "We're going to the city hall in a moment, would you like to change your clothes."

   "How about I just wear your clothes?" she said with a smile.

  He hesitated, and finally shook his head, “It’s enough trouble to have someone like me in this world.”

   "Well, since you said that." Georgiana said, "Lend me your casual clothes."

  "Why do you always ask me to borrow it."

   "Other people's clothes are too big." She smiled sarcastically, "I am wearing your clothes."

   "Are you still angry?"

  She stopped smirking and waved her fist at him, "You are so mad at me!"

  With a smile on his face, he said seriously after a moment, “You said you don’t want to waste time on jealousy.”

  She threw a vase on him, and he caught it with agility.

   "I don't know how good a woman you are!" she asked angrily.

  He did not answer her.

  She feels very tired and feels cold.

  Because she had heard the rumors and looked at the wrong person, she thought Napoleon was really dedicated, just as she thought Buddy Crouch was a good boy with good character and learning.

   "I hope you will continue to be jealous." He said calmly, "This way I can feel that I am not dispensable to you."

  She looked at him incredulously.

"After the signing of the Campo Formio peace treaty, I once said that I wanted to create a great era. This era will take me as the era, but my actions violated this promise." He said angrily, "We will all There is so little discrepancy between words and deeds."

   "That's different, Leon, your ambition is too big, this dream is difficult to realize." Georgiana said, "The AD is very convenient, even those countries that use the title of the emperor as the chronology have changed to use it."

  "Do you think I can create a great era?" He asked rhetorically.

   "Of course I think so." Georgiana said affirmatively, "I just stayed because I wanted to witness this."

   "Is that important to you, is it important to me or the world?" he asked again.

"I……"

   "Liar!" Before she was finished, Napoleone accused her of "You want to control power through me."

   "I didn't think so!"

   "Then why are you not jealous?"

  This is why don’t find young lovers, that’s why! He is not here to coax you, but you go to coax him!

   "I understand that impulse is the devil." She gritted her teeth and said, "Don't force me to beat you."

"You don't know why I didn't know how many drunkenness?" The champion "The champion" is smiled "Alpine, I have turned over twice, how can I get married to you is so difficult."

  Georgina just remembered that Josephine had waited for this "little bastard" in the town hall in a wedding dress for six hours.

  "Do you want me to put on a wedding dress?"

"You British people talk about aristocracy and are far away from the people. I like to walk among soldiers and mobs, talk to them and listen to them about history. That’s good for me. I hate that countryman calls you. For the'mistress', my mistress is France, you are not."

   "Then I am..."

   "Mrs. Bonaparte!" He interrupted her again, "Damn public opinion..."

   "Don't think about it, Leon."

  He lifted a table directly.

   "She was a very good woman." Napolioni said with her back to her, "She was very afraid that she would not be able to reproduce, so with the help of medicine, she felt that marriage without children is incomplete and untrue."

   "Severus told me that he can have no children." Georgiana said calmly, "but our marriage is equally problematic."

   "Your marriage is not real."

   "If it weren't for you, we would keep going. We even plan to adopt a child."

   "You want me to die too, so you let me fight him?"

  "Did you tell her what I told you?" Georgiana said calmly, "Find a woman who can give birth, and the child will be raised by Josephine after she is born."

  He did not speak.

   "Oh, I see, you can't give me love, just give me power, right?" Georgiana sneered, "Do you still want to try her on this tour?"

  He was about to speak.

"I understand." Georgiana interrupted what he was about to say. "I always can't beat human girls, but I want to explain one thing to you. If you return to your family, don't come to me again. I can be alone. Good time."

  She knocked down the vase on the other dining table, let it fall to the ground, and the glass shattered with a crisp sound.

   Then she turned and left.

   "I can tell you after Christmas." Bonaparte said, "Do you know why I told you today?"

  She stopped.

   "Today I asked Polina to be taken away. Even if I drag her on the boat, and her son."

   "I see." She said calmly.

   "Do you think you can fall in love with someone twice now?"

  Georgiana is gone.

  Her life has been officially declared ruined.
