Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1456 "Doll"

There was an emperor in the history of Rome. His name was Caracalla. This is not his real name. "Caracalla" is the name of a Gaul cloak with a turban. His name is Lucius Septim. Us Bassiaus, was renamed Marcus Olesius Antoninus by his father when he was 7 years old. His father hopes to change his name so that his son will not be a citizen of the province. And the identity of the knight affects the succession to the throne.

According to the records of Machiavelli, the author of the theory of the monarchy, Caracalla’s tyranny was shocking. He actually executed most of the Roman residents and massacred all the residents of Alexandria. He was hated by the world, so that he finally It was also killed by a centurion who had an enemy to kill his brother.

  But such a selfish and brutal monarch once issued an edict:

  God masters the laws of events and all things moving. As the emperor of Rome, I am under the blessing of heaven and escaped the fate. I will lead the subjects of Rome and lead Rome to prosperity, in order to be grateful for the greatness of the immortal gods. Therefore, I grant all free people in Rome the right of Roman citizenship to demonstrate the greatness of Roman citizens. But those despicable people do not deserve this right. My subjects and I should share blessings and share difficulties. Since then, everyone on the land of Rome has enjoyed the right of Roman citizenship. In all ages and all, only Rome has the advantage.

Dionysius pointed out in the "Ancient History of Rome" that Caracalla’s thinking policy was mainly to promote tax increases. He granted Roman citizenship to everyone in Rome, ostensibly to grant them honor, but in fact, to increase himself. Income, because Gentiles don’t have to pay most of their taxes.

  In ancient times, population was a resource. During Caracalla’s reign, the number of Legionnaires doubled compared with his father’s reign, and it was his subsequent expansion of citizen taxes that supported his Panda’s military expenditures.

  Slaves do not need to pay taxes, but free talents need them. Free people have their own property, such as cattle, sheep, horses, farm tools, houses, etc., slaves have nothing. To engage in agricultural production, the farmers themselves have to invest in costs. The price of 20 francs per cent is easy to calculate, such as the United Kingdom and France. There are no serfs and slaves in such countries. But in the United States and Russia, slavery still exists, which makes their production costs much cheaper than the grains grown by native British farmers.

  If a large number of foreign grains are imported, local British farmers will go bankrupt. This will make Britain completely dependent on foreign countries for food security. Therefore, the Corn Law is not only to protect the interests of the land nobles.

The failure of the Baltic Sea grain harvest has caused the price of cereals in the UK to rise, and because of the "Bread and Blood" movement, foreign cereals cannot enter the British market, which prevents the price of food in the UK from falling. However, there is a "poor tax" in the UK, which means that even The poor in Britain cannot afford bread, and there is government relief to receive, but the food they can receive has shrunk.

  This is in line with what Adam Smith mentioned in "The Wealth of Nations" that when food prices rise, the people at the bottom will reduce their grain expenditures.

The traditional British dish is fish and chips. It is not as difficult for the British to eat potatoes instead of bread. Since Ireland has been repossessed, the land will not be left free. The land will be in harmony with "history." "Plant potatoes as above.

  However, although eating potatoes alone can solve the problem of hunger, it can cause malnutrition. At this time, meat is also more expensive in the UK. The poor in Britain were able to live under malnutrition with relief funds. Even if the price of cereals was higher than that in France, British farmers could not sell them. At this time, exporting became a way for British farmers to obtain wealth.

The price of water transportation for heavy goods such as grain is cheaper than land transportation, but it also has a cost. After the weather warmed and the canal began to return to normal, Spain’s two million quintals of grains began to ship, and the first batch of grains arrived in Paris. There are 19,000 tons, and the high and low water also restrict water transportation.

  The land route is better than the waterway parallel to it. Although the cost of animal power will be higher than that of the steam locomotive, the British steam engine will not be exported arbitrarily.

  If the French worshiped the British as their teachers, they could go to the British factories to steal lessons. After the signing of the Amiens Treaty, the people of the two countries exchanged each other, and French industrial spies also took advantage of this opportunity to send out.

Fewer people eat, but more people work. Not only the Bruges Canal in Belgium needs to be dredged, but the Somme channel from Amiens to the estuary also needs to be dredged. The large amount of sediment carried by the river and sea water also needs to be dredged. The wide mouth of the Somme continues to accumulate, which has had a serious impact on the business of Saint Valéry over the years.

The plan is to dig a canal along a straight line leading to the port of Saint-Valerie. A ship lock will be erected on the canal to clear the mud and sand. In addition, a tow track will be constructed. Horses will be used to pull the fiber instead of manpower. The starting and ending points of the track are respectively The Saint-Valerie River Amiens is estimated to produce 900,000 livres, which is a small amount compared to the 30 million francs Saint-Martin Canal.

  This is why Napoleon could not find anyone to fund the dredging of the canal leading to the sea from Bruges. The French gave priority to French interests. They had not realized that Belgium was already French land.

  What's more, Belgium is a place of the Four World Wars. Today, the canal port of Bruges was cleaned up, and it will change hands tomorrow, so the money is for nothing. The last time Austria issued public bonds in Belgium, the Austrians lost the bonds and became waste paper. The Belgians had no idea that they could be exchanged at a fair price. Talleyrand was ridiculed when he bought these bonds in Belgium and sold them to him. Those people later found out, one by one regretted not.

  Lyon, the second largest city in France, has frequent people-to-people exchanges with Paris. Even passenger transport is enough to make money, not to mention the time when the canal is blocked.

  Transfer of the management and construction rights of the railway, if you lose money, there is nothing, if you make money, Napoleon will be criticized as a traitor who sells national interests. This is the case in public opinion.

To make French bankers pay, they must give them full confidence. Louis XVI sent troops to North America to help the United States complete the War of Independence and won. Bonaparte not only compensated the previous expedition forces, but also Switzerland and Poland. Soldiers were sent, and an island that was accidentally five thousand miles away was "Waterloo."

  Sometimes there is no humanity in war, and mercenaries of the kind of living **** are not willing to go. Who else is so brave to go?

During the ten years of the French Revolution, many people died, and they were mature men. This led to more women than men in rural France. Polygamy is not a permanent cure, nor is it allowed by the Christian world. That’s why Charles was born. ·Ganière’s policy of granting pensions to the widows of the National Self-Defense Force and their orphans.

  When a man is fighting outside, he has no worries, so he can concentrate on it, even if he sleeps on the battlefield for a long time, he will have no regrets.

  Napoleon’s enlistment was not like the French to save the country, but to achieve his ambitions, but he was infected in such an environment for a long time, and it was a bit unclear which country he was from.

Even Georgian herself, she is not as familiar with the UK as she is familiar with the mountains and rivers of France. She does not know how many railways there are in the UK or the iron bridges over the rivers. Then she can't help but use the name "we" to call herself and Frenchman.

  What is a foreigner? What is a native?

   Marie Antoinette pinned her hopes on the Austrian army and used foreign troops to suppress the civilians in France. She was an Austrian woman.

  But the French love Louis, the great Louis XIV, the happy Louis XV, the tragic Louis XVI, each has an endless story.

  However, there is no Louis eleven, and the following series of Louis have no time to be great, to be happy, and to be miserable.

France, which was handed over to Louis XI, experienced a weak and poor country after the Hundred Years’ War with Britain. Although it was in the generation of Louis XI’s father Charles VII, France had restored most of its land, but the scorched-earth policy of handsome during the war made The people's livelihood in France was dying, and the economic system collapsed.

  Without people’s livelihood, there would be no taxes. The French royal family was really poor at that time.

  So that when Louis XI married Princess Margaret of Scotland, there was no money to hold a decent wedding.

  The relatives of the princess who had come from afar were driven away in disguise after they watched the church. There was no dinner, not to mention the days and nights when the Duke of Burgundy got married.

Marguerite from Scotland is a typical medieval princess, pious, beautiful, and kind. He has not read any useful books except the Bible and some love poems. Therefore, the French nobles call Marguerite a "little doll". Not only because of her small stature, but also because of her exquisite appearance, and her attitude towards her is like a ragdoll with casual jokes and no respect.

  Georgiana is also very small, and others talk to her straightforwardly, sometimes appearing disrespectful, and Mrs. Tarrian sometimes teases her, but so far no man has dared to molest her except Napoleon Bonaparte.

After the earl got up and left, Georgian asked Julian Ufrall to stay. In order to avoid leaking the news, Georgian asked Matilda to withdraw too. She wanted to talk about the lottery with the professor who was good at incitement. , But he doesn't seem to have an attitude to talk to her at all.

He first chatted with her about literature and asked her if she had read Montesquieu’s Persian letter. After learning that she had read it, he actually called her "The Immortal Anais", and she waved to him in a hurry. A slap in the face.

  As a result, he was beaten and smiled happily.

  Who is the immortal Anais? She is one of the wives of Persian Ibrahim. According to local tradition, she and Ibrahim's other 11 beautiful wives are locked in the house and are not allowed to go out at will.

  But she yearned for freedom. She told Ibrahim that if she died to break up with you, then death is a pleasant thing for me.

  So Ibrahim did her well and pierced the woman's chest with a knife.

Then, she went to heaven just like the decent woman before her death, enjoying a happy life with new ideas every day. The focus is on having two beautiful men serving her, **** her, showering her, and applying fragrance to her. The fragrance of her, put her in her arms, let her enjoy the joy like crazy.

  Georgiana is still angry when she thinks about it now, she regrets that Julian was not burned to death with the dragon's breath.

  In this case, she felt that she had to talk to Bonaparte. Either he transferred Julian Uvral elsewhere or cut his head.

   So after disguising herself and putting on a hooded cloak, she asked Phyllis to prepare an inconspicuous carriage and return to Paris.

   Lawless speculators, bold hypocrites!

  But this kind of person is still much better than the extremely conservative banker in Paris.

She looked at the flying scenery outside the car window, and a little girl appeared in front of her by chance. She was being led by her decent parents, holding a ceramic doll from the Sèvre ceramic factory, and looking at her carriage on the side of the road. .

  Their eyes met briefly, and it was not until she left her sight that Georgianna looked back.

  The girl looks almost 11 years old, and it’s time for the second stage of education.

  But she soon laughed bitterly. How can a girl in the 18th century qualify for the second stage of education.

  If she does not read so many books, she may not be insulted today, so ignorance is a kind of luck.
