  Chapter 1379 c‘estundiable (below)

After the French Revolution, the Agricultural Management Committee that was originally established in 1787 was disbanded. After Sharptal took over as Minister of the Interior, the local government and various affairs were to be rebuilt. The Paris Agricultural Association is now a semi-official organization. It is not yet a department. It was placed in the Boulogne Forest to the west of Paris.

  Since the 7th century, the Boulogne Forest has been the king’s hunting ground. Since Louis XIV, there have been well-fitted horses, well-dressed gentlemen, and gorgeous ladies in the forest from time to time.

  This is where the wealthy gather. The public security is good and the environment is comfortable. There are many high-class clubs set up here. With the decline of the royal family, the owners of the Villa Boulogne changed some people, such as military officers, financiers, bankers, celebrities, artists and so on. A member of the Farmers Association donated his villa as a meeting place, and Georgiana brought Del Mead up here.

  How backward is French agricultural planting technology?

According to the famous agronomist François Sirer Gilbert in 1787, French agriculture has not made any progress since ancient Rome. There is still a farming method called "irregular planting" in the Mediterranean. A piece of wasteland was reclaimed along the coast, Brittany, Tierache and other areas. After continuous crops, it was restored to a state of thatched land, and even turned into a forest, just like slash-and-burn cultivation in the Neolithic Age.

  The implementation of the two-year rotation system in southern France is a legacy of the ancient Mediterranean. Large areas of arable land are cultivated land from ancient Rome.

  Georgiana can’t really go to the south. What kind of land did she go to the south to plant in the winter?

  The French in the early 19th century referred to corn as Turkish wheat. Corn also has a demand for temperature, and a large area has been sown in the south.

  Citizen Mardan de Chahilon said that farmers in the west are living in poverty and filth all day long because they don’t arrange work well. There are too many grains and too few pastures. The land is exhausted and must be changed.

  The tone of his speech was arrogant, and he looked aloof, like a nobleman.

  Next, Georgiana explained the "will" of the first ruling, regardless of the promotion of potatoes, continue to promote potatoes, this point was passed quickly.

The 18th century was called "the shame of agricultural life." Not all regions used the non-stop farming system. In some places, the two-year or three-year rotation system was implemented. In principle, no crops were cultivated on the land in these rotations. , But you can plant grass for livestock to eat in preparation for planting wheat in the coming year.

  However, the recreational landforms in various parts of France are different. In some places, "absolute" and "complete" recreation are implemented, which are completely used to meet the wheat production in the coming year.

  Farmers will steal some white peas, grey peas, wild peas, broad beans, kidney beans, etc. Potatoes and corn used to be “stealth” crops, but now the promotion of potato planting is just to make “stealth” more honest.

To put it simply, it is easier for new crops to gain a foothold, but the difficulty is to promote artificial grassland. The output of artificial grassland is 2 to 3 times higher than that of natural grassland. It can provide important supplementary feed for the herd, increase the number of livestock, and help Agriculture transports more fertilizer, but artificial pastures will occupy the "sacred" wheat fields.

Even if the area of ​​fertile land is small, it can produce more wheat than the barren and broad land. This is easy to understand. However, the Minister of the Interior Sharptal said that a smart man like the first ruling Napoleon Bonaparte was I still don't understand, it seems that he is a group of farmers who are reluctant to grow sugar beets.

In short, artificial grassland is the driving force of a "necessary" and "strong" agricultural revolution. In contrast, the use of animal power instead of manpower for farming is behind, not to mention the increase in large livestock for farming. Insufficient feed is also useless. The fertilizer problem can be solved with human manure for the time being, and it is already in use in the suburbs of Lyon and other cities.

  Georgiana has not spoken, although many people hope she can express their opinions.

  Agricultural reform must be cautious. Quesnay’s reform law overthrew the Bourbon dynasty. She also made the same mistakes as those theorists, thinking that replacing manpower with animal power can produce the same effect as the industrial revolution.

  Compared to pulling the plow, the heavy horse should go to the mine to pull the ore, so that more shovels and farm tools can be produced.

  She brought her children to the auditorium. She looked like an ordinary housewife. Later, the members of the Agricultural Association thought she no longer existed and began to discuss other issues.

The animal husbandry in the Alps is provided by the Camargue region. The severe winter since the eighth year of the Republic has caused many lambs to freeze to death. Not only the United Kingdom has a corn law to protect the interests of local farmers, but also the French livestock owners. In the boycott of foreign livestock entering the French market.

The attempt of   horse meat almost failed. Pigs want to **** potatoes from humans, so raising cattle has become a New Year’s goal.

  Cattles in the Alps can go to the alpine pastures by themselves in spring, and then return automatically before October. They must reconnect with the wild at the beginning of April, otherwise the pasture reserves of the herders will be insufficient.

  In order to speed up the melting of snow, a few shovel of dirt will be sprinkled on the road, which requires manual snow shoveling. This group of people is attracted to the engineers in the Alps.

  Neither the Seni Mountain Road nor the Singerang Tunnel can be dug through in one or two days. It is really important to shovel the snow after a few days of delay in the project. For Napoleon, this was just an order, and it took time to recruit civilians and incurred additional costs, not to mention that there were no people in the mountains.

  Georgina listened to the discussions of these agronomists physically and mentally. She found that she still had a lot to learn, although she had planted a piece of land for 30 years.

If there were no magic, potions, and dragon manure, it might not be possible to feed 1,000 people on the land of Hogwarts. Things such as flour were also bought from a nearby Muggle town. The vegetable garden only grows vegetables. Don't grow wheat.

  Livestock products such as milk and beef are also bought outside. Hagrid can raise chickens himself, but how can he eat chicken alone.

  Until now, she didn't know what kind of garden of Eden she used to live in. Hogwarts was full of joy, so the students were so nostalgic that she was willing to protect it with her life.

  Which student will die to protect the school? You don't need to blow up the school without explosives.

  She took advantage of the other committee members' inadvertent attention and took Delmid out of the villa.

  The fresh air of the Boulogne Forest made her awake a bit, while Delmid stared at a squirrel, and she let him go on an expedition.

  There are guards watching. Although they are all male soldiers, she is not worried at all.

  As long as it is not life-threatening, it is normal for a boy to be hit and injured, and it will be fine after a while.

  She will not let Delmid be in her hands and be educated into an obedient "sissy" and "good boy", but he doesn't need to imitate Napoleon in everything.

   "Which of you can climb trees?" Georgiana asked the guards.

   "I will." A soldier said.

  "Please teach him how to climb." Georgiana pointed to Delmi who was looking at the squirrel under the tree, but didn't know how to climb up to catch it.

   "I can catch the squirrel." The guard said.

   "No, I want you to teach him to climb trees. It doesn't matter if you can't catch the squirrel." Georgiana said firmly.

   "Yes, ma'am." The guard replied, and then walked to Delmid's side and squatted down like a father to communicate with him.

   "You want to teach him to be a wild child?" Napolioni asked.

   "I think boys are a bit wild and good." She answered calmly, "Why are you here?"

   "I won't come to you, surely you won't come to me, will you?" He said patiently.

   "I was planning to ask you to borrow troops. In April, the Alpine Road must be cleared to let the cattle pass."

  He glared at her angrily.

   "You chose it yourself, and you want to go back to her. How have you tried it these days?"

   "You want to borrow soldiers, what do you use to pay it back?" He asked rhetorically.

   "They are all doing things for you."

   "Sleep with me."

  This time, she glared at him instead.

   "I miss you so much, do you want me?"

  She looked at the guards around, and they immediately turned back, hiding far away.

   "I was with you before because you said you were separated. Now that you plan to go back, you shouldn't come to me again. It's unethical to do so."

"I will not spend it with you, just like suffering from fever. The diagnosis may be difficult at the beginning of the illness. If no action is taken, the diagnosis will become easier and the treatment will become difficult as time passes. You are not worried about the UK Up?"

   "It's okay for Ireland to be separated," she said in a **** manner.

  In fact, if Ireland were to break away from British rule, it might not have suffered the desperate disaster of the famine of 1845.

  "Is this the attitude that a consultant should have?" he asked again.

  "Who wants to be your consultant?" she said angrily, turning around to leave.

  "The France I govern is not short of money to the point where it needs to sell officials to increase income." Napoleon said behind her, "Do you want to know what was shipped from the Netherlands to Antwerp?"

   "Bait." Georgiana turned her head to look at him, "You thought that Britain would exchange captives for land?"

   "I didn't expect that they would exchange captives for land. Do you remember that you told me a few months ago that I should order the mine’s horses to plow the land?"

  She nodded.

   "I didn't promise you, I want to use these horses for other things."

   "What did you do?"

  "Have you ever heard of the'Fool's Gold' this kind of gold?"

   "That's not gold at all, it's pyrite... is it a rumor spread by you?"

  "Can you tell me, how do you understand that the cannon is my personal secret weapon?"

   "Trigonometric functions, and mechanics, these knowledge are all in your mind."

  He looked at her and shook his head.

"wrong?"

"A cannon is a weapon that allows me to fight back when I am threatened. For other rulers, war is to carve up a piece of land, but for me it is closely related to survival. I will not commit crimes on matters of life or death. Confused, I didn’t go to Lyon this time to accompany Josephine. It was booked a few months ago. The officials from the nearby provinces are waiting for me. I went to the Western Corps to defend your British warships from landing and your navy. If you land on land, you are not my opponent. Also within the range of the artillery, you are not your opponent. You can only attack the ships that are alone at sea. What is your pride and pride?"

  "Do you know what is the best weapon for women? It's love." Georgiana smiled and said, "Do you think you have been defeated, Leon?"

   "How about we make a bet?" He said provocatively, "Look if anyone attacked my'golden ship'."

   "The sea may not freeze."

   "That's because you don't know how cold the sea is right now. You haven't given me my Christmas present. How about we bet on this?"

  He said a little arrogantly.

   "What if I win?"

   "I am at your disposal."

   "If I let you learn how to call a dog, can you learn it?"

   "You are so smart, of course you won't waste such a rare opportunity." He thought he said with a smirk humorously.

"what chance?"

  "A chance to learn."

  She did not understand, but one of the guards burst out laughing.

   "Get out!" She roared, and turned to look for Delmead, who was learning to climb trees.

   "Do you want to go to the western parade?" Bonaparte said behind her.

   "No!" she said categorically. After the military parade, if the British attacked him and he would fight again, who would she go to help?

   "Take the child away." Just as she was about to catch Delmead from the guards, Bonaparte said suddenly.

  Before she realized what was going on, the guards took Dermid away.

   "Everyone, take 50 steps forward." Bonaparte ordered, and then the guards walked forward together as if being led by an invisible rope.

  The elegant-looking wild lion approached her, and she subconsciously wanted to escape.

  "Do you want to hear the story?" Just as she was about to run, Napoleon suddenly said, "It's a story about that carpet."

   "No." She subconsciously refused.

   "I can tell you at the picnic." He held back his excitement, staring at her and said.

   "You don't really want to have a picnic." She said fearfully, "I won't be fooled."

   "Please." He begged, "Please promise me, beautiful and charming lady."

  "You must promise me one condition." She whispered.

   "What conditions?"

   "You can't do anything rude to me."

  He thought about it, then laughed, "Okay."

  He put his hands behind his back and said politely, "I promise."

   "I don't want to have a picnic. It's all snow outside." She pointed to the frozen lake and said, "I want to skate."

"I do not know."

   "I can teach you." She said softly, "How about we go back to tell the story of that carpet?"

  He was silent.

   "Next time we come in spring." He said a moment later, "The flowers in the garden should be all blooming by then."

   "Okay." She reached out to him, "Let's go, let's go skating."

  "Would you like to call the little guy?" he asked, holding her hand.

   "Wait until I teach you this big guy." She pinched his Greek nose and said, but he immediately hugged her tightly.

"I originally wanted to see the Arc de Triomphe in Lyon." He said in her ear. "Later I found out that I didn't want any Arc de Triomphe, nor rituals. I didn't even care about those meaningless imaginary words. I am your lion, what I want. It's you."

   "My husband will come, are you still afraid to fight him?"

   "I found a proxy knight." said the lion in the wilderness, "or a proxy wizard."

   "I know you will cheat, but you also have to remind the person acting for you to watch out that Severus will cheat too." She whispered, "I neither want you to win, nor do I want him to lose."

   "You have already told me the answer in your heart." He let go of his hand happily, and then kissed her lips.

   just touched it symbolically at first, and then it became unstoppable, and it was so hot that it made people's minds dizzy.

   "No, stop!" She pressed his hand.

   "Why?" He gasped and asked.

   "I want to skate!" she said categorically, "and I know the reputation of this forest."

  He let go of his hand and stopped appealing to another "sport".

  She quickly put down the skirt and smoothed out his crumpled area.

   "I don't want to see white anymore, that reminds me of the Bourbon royal family, dyeing your clothes in other colors." He ordered.

  "Do you include the outer skirt?"

   "No, only the ones I watched." He kissed her on the lips, then took her hand and ran to the ice lake, looking full of energy again, and very excited about skating.
