Harry Potter’s Morning Light
Chapter 1436: Final words
Chapter 1436 Final words
In the popular folk story, Marie Antoinette accidentally stepped on the executioner’s foot when she stepped onto the guillotine, and then said "I'm sorry".
This famous "deficit queen" likes to hold dance parties very much. Later, after she had a child, she converged a bit. Unfortunately, people's impression of her was solidified at that time, and the common people pushed all the responsibility for rising prices and shortage of bread to her. Body.
Louis XVI also had a last word before he went to the guillotine. He asked the people on the left and right, "Is there any news from Count La Perouse?"
The full name of Count La Perouse is Jean François de Gallo. He is recognized as one of the greatest navigators after James Cook. He was born in Albi, France in 1741 and was in the Navy at the age of 15 After serving, he inherited the title of Count La Perouse and was keen on geography and hoped to strengthen France's strength in the Pacific region.
So Louis XVI gave him two merchant ships, which were later transformed into battleships. The two ships were called Astrolabe and Compass, and ordered him to explore the Pacific coast of Asia and America.
The two ships carried a total of 220 people, including two astronomers, several naturalists, several surgeons, one mathematician, one watchmaker, and several cartographers. They planned to complete the work of Captain Cook. Career.
They also used the new nautical instrument sextant on this voyage. However, in mid-March 1788, when the Earl of La Perouse departed from Australia, he encountered a storm on his way to the northwest and disappeared in the Solomon Islands. Near the Wanicolo Islands. In 1791, when Louis XVI himself was in distress, he sent a fleet to look for the Count of La Perouse, but it was never found. This became a regret for Louis XVI and even the guillotine. I never forget it all the time.
If Louis XVI were not a king, he would be a very outstanding geographer.
This is the bedtime story that Georgiana told Dermid.
There are hundreds of ghost ship legends circulating around the world. Some of these ghost ship legends are completely compiled, and some have witnesses. In foggy weather, smugglers will take advantage of the bad sight to move out, and more than one group will see two ships appearing on the west coast.
These people are wearing the uniforms of the old French Royal Navy, wearing wigs on their heads, and heading towards France, as if he had obeyed the call of Louis XVI, the Count of La Perouse, who had returned from the Pacific. Otherwise, smugglers It is impossible to explain why the two warships ignored them and sailed straight to the fog-filled North Sea.
Later, the British, Danish navy, and merchant ships of some neutral countries also claimed to have seen these two ships. This rumor was quickly killed by Napoleon, but it was still spreading quietly.
Delmid kept looking at her with his eyes open, and did not seem to be frightened by this story, which made Georgiana suddenly understand why Ottens would deliberately tell the story that is so bizarre that it is out of reality to scare this kid.
She didn’t say anything about the scary sense of accomplishment of ghost stories.
Later, she sang a song to him, and Delmid fell asleep in the bedroom next to her. Early the next morning, she took him to the Sèvre ceramic factory to wait for the letter from Kr. Lauder Bettole is a citizen.
This person is an academician of the French Academy, just like Bronniard, and she met him in the factory director’s office.
Citizen Bertole graduated from the University of Turin in Italy with a doctorate in medicine. In 1779, he returned to Paris and became the private doctor of the Duke of Orléans. In 1780, he became an academician of the French Academy. In 1784, he was the supervisor of the French dye company. University professor, he went to Egypt with Napoleon in 1798 to teach the commander-in-chief of chemistry.
He was accompanied by a man, the "professor" Julien Uvlar, who taught Napoleon's legal knowledge. Unlike the other five bankers, he was not interested in the 2% commission. He wanted power more. .
Georgiana dare not introduce him to the Senate, let alone let him replace Bronniar as the factory director. In short, he is now showing his own scholar's gentle and polite appearance, and he can't see that he has participated in plotting conspiracies.
Later, Bettole took Georgiana to the warehouse, and some of the silk had been transported to the warehouse of the Sèvre Ceramic Factory.
At this time, Ottens also came, but Louis did not come. She greeted the two elders very politely. She looked very thoughtful, and she did not look like she was grieving for her mother when she was in the botanical garden.
Neither scholar said anything, and Georgiana introduced them to Ortance at this time.
"We recognize it." Ottens said, "Mr. Bertole often tells us anecdotes about Egypt at the ball."
"Do you know that he is a chemist, good at bleaching and dyeing?" Georgiana asked.
Otense nodded.
"Do you like these silk patterns?"
"I haven't seen it."
"If you don't like it or feel that you need to re-dye, you can ask a citizen of Bertole." Georgiana said, "I read the letter I sent you yesterday?"
Otense nodded.
"The biggest advantage of Lyon Silk is creativity. It keeps up with the fashion in Paris. This is something that Piedmont and British silk do not have. Although their silk is cheap but old in style, your mother knows many artists. She can teach you this. You must highlight this advantage at the reception, but the cost is too high. You can ask Joseph more about how to sell things. He is an expert in this area."
Ottens nodded again.
"As for the furniture, I have to move some, and there is another department that needs them."
"What department?" Julian asked.
"Secret." Georgiana said with a smile, and then looked at Phyllis. "When will the person I ask you to make an appointment?"
"He will have a court session in the morning, and he won't be able to come back in the afternoon." Phyllis said immediately.
"Who did you date?" Ottens asked.
"The first civilian guest." Georgian asked Otense to take her arm. "He is a lawyer."
"I thought……"
"You have to give the guests time to adjust. He has studied at the University of Paris, and maybe you have taught him, Professor." Giorgioanna smirked at Julian Ubral.
"What's his name?" Ubral asked.
"Jean Pierre Chauffier."
"Not a nobleman?"
"He is a citizen of Sèvres, and he was the agent of the family of the victims of the last corpse."
"What did you find him for?"
"You have no class today?" Georgiana asked Ubral.
"Why don't you ask Professor Bertole?"
Georgiana didn’t say anything about Ubral’s topic. Later, Ottens and Professor Betolai talked about the topic of bleaching and re-dyeing before changing the topic.
The expeditionary force Napoleon to Santo Domingo did as much preparation as possible, but the battle was still not going well. In addition to yellow fever, malaria was also raging in the expeditionary force.
Food can be solved with canned food taken from France, but the water can only be drunk locally.
He would not introduce someone to Georgianna for no reason. With Bertole, these dyed silks can be re-dyed, and he also served the Duke of Orleans just like Mrs. Jean Sley. This background is in the eyes of the British. How dazzling.
The meal they ate at the pottery factory at noon, they did not eat with the workers, but the factory director prepared it.
It was about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and Pierre came back on a horse. He was one of the people who had a very hot temper and was driven away by Georgiana.
He tried his best not to appear flattering, kissed the hands of Georgian and Ortans like someone who had met the world, then greeted the two professors, and then waited for Georgian as "equality". State the purpose of asking him.
"Have you heard of the inspector?" Georgiana asked Jean-Pierre.
"I've heard of it." Let Pierre say, "It is to inspect the situation in the country instead of the king."
"We will send a group of inspectors next month to the rural and mountainous areas to guide farmers in agricultural work." Georgiana smiled and said, "How much do you know about agriculture?"
surprised Pierre.
"Or you can try to participate in the special court selection..."
"Do you want to use an official position to buy me?" Pierre sneered, "You don't need to do this, my cousin's family has already accepted compensation."
"The selection of the special court requires a personal interview by the first governor. If you fail me, there is no way. I just provide you with a way out. You can choose by yourself." Georgiana said, "I like to give young people opportunities."
"You can also consider becoming a consultant. In the future, scientists funded by Ms. Sèvres have new inventions, and you can help them apply for patents." Ubral said immediately.
"How do you choose me and not other people?" asked Pierre coldly.
"How is your relationship with that girl?" Georgiana asked.
"What does this have to do with you?"
"If it's good, I think she brought you this opportunity." Georgiana looked at Pierre and said, "If it's not good, then she is cursing you."
Pierre sneered, seeming not to believe this.
"Think about it, and give me an answer at the reception in a few days." Georgiana said, "You can bring some friends."
Pierre seemed to be lost in thought.
"Remember to send an invitation letter to the citizen of Chaufier." Georgiana said to Otense.
"Yes, ma'am." Ortans replied.
"You call her a lady?" Pierre asked in surprise.
"Go back and think about it." Ubral smiled and said, "There is nothing else."
Pierre hesitated, bowed to Georgianna, and left the reception room.
"This will be the case from now on." When Pierre had gone away, Georgiana said to Otense, "You understand?"
Ottens nodded if he realized something.
"Is this your compensation?" Ubral asked.
"No, this is the custom of the British aristocracy." Georgiana smiled and said, "You can choose not to learn."
