Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1458 Son of the Forest

  The French were besieged, although most people did not feel it.

   Opposite the Louvre is the Paris Botanical Garden. Kleber’s copper pillars are still under construction. Last year, only pillars were erected. Craftsmen are applying plaster to the outside. It seems that it will not be completed in a year or two.

Kleber and Desai died on the same day. One died in Egypt and the other died on the battlefield of Marengo. I heard that Desai was a very educated man, perhaps the most eager expeditionary army. lack of.

  Georgiana took a sip of wine. There is such a big price difference between the four-and-a-half bread in Paris and the seven-and-a-half bread outside the city, and fools know what to do.

Smuggling will quickly deplete the original enough food, and the price will rise at that time. Fortunately, as many bakeries as possible have been preserved. They also have an attached granary. They should be able to sell bread at low prices for a period of time. .

If the official price is set, then the tax collector may be able to let the farmers replace currency with real objects like people in ancient times. This is also a way to ensure the supply of food. They are not afraid that they will continue to hold the grain and wait for the price to continue. Taxes are reduced as soon as they come.

  Georgiana put down her glass, went back to the table and started writing with a typewriter.

  Napolioni is like this. He rarely goes to extremes unless it is necessary, always looking for a balance in the chaotic situation, just like he can't completely distinguish between love and the world. Perhaps Napoleon’s own war has not yet ended, but for the vast majority of civilians, it has already ended. "Turbulent freedom" lasted for ten years. People miss civilization and reason. Even "enslaved peace" is still attached to some people. of.

Spain is still a feudal monarchy. They can use military service, but France can’t. Both road repairers and terminal transshippers have to pay wages. This is also part of the "cost". Cheap labor can reduce expenses, but doing so will cause other problems. Social turmoil. The residents of St. Antoine in Foxburg are all casual and day laborers from all walks of life. There is a rumor among them that the big boss of a paper mill also cut their wages to 15 su a day. They immediately Enraged, and without asking whether the rumors were true, a large number of people rushed into the boss's house and destroyed all the things in the house, warehouse, and workshop, but nothing was invaded in the process.

  Until the regular army arrived, they continued to smash. The army naturally had to open fire. After the battle, 100 people were killed and the rest were dispersed. In the old days, there was almost no such riots in the kingdom in a year. These people were destroying for destruction, and venting their anger to vent their anger. The big taxpayers understand this truth-the king who pays taxes has the former to raise the army, and the army has the army. The protection of their property and family will be properly protected.

They were very grateful to Georgeanna for arranging them at the Elysée Palace, but their representatives also expressed their willingness to donate money to Georgiana. The pastor of the parish asked them to donate money once a week to provide food for the poor. They hope to restore this system. It's just that they don't believe in priests, because there are indeed some priests who are extravagant and profligate.

  She can only advise those outsiders to find Leoncourt and his friends. The operation of the charity is considered successful, but whether it can be used by other provinces is another matter. There are many things, even if they exist for a good purpose at the beginning, they will become harmful things in the future, especially the corruption of morals is even more unacceptable.

   There was a knock on the door, and Georgiana looked up and found that it was Napoleon’s henchman, "Chief of Staff" Berthier, holding a sword inlaid with gems in his hand.

   "What's the matter with you? General." Georgiana asked.

   "The commander asked me to give it to you." Berthier said, "please go back to Versailles."

   "What shall I do over there?"

   "You have a task to perform." Berthier put the sword on the table in front of Georgiana "There are troops waiting for you over there."

  Georgiana froze, "He wants to send me to lead the soldiers?"

   Berthier did not speak.

   "What kind of soldier does a woman lead." She said disdainfully, she didn't want to look at the sword at all.

   "You should go." Berthier whispered, "Please don't make it difficult for me."

   "Where is he sending me?"

   Berthier bowed to Georgiana, and then left her office.

   "Wait." Before he left, Georgiana handed him the page written on it, "This is my suggestion."

   Berthier fell back again and took the page away, and then Giorgioanna took the sword and left the Tuileries Palace, as quietly as when she came.

  She went back to Sèvres and changed into men's clothing. "Home" was left to Matilda and Madame Montesquieu, and after a brief explanation, she took Phyllis to Versailles.

  She ran into Davu at the entrance of the Palace of Versailles. He seemed to have received the order long ago to take Georgiana into the barracks, and then brief her on the situation.

  Georgiana will be responsible for commanding a very well-prepared hunting corps with a total of 1,000 people. It is under the command of the Chief of Staff and is responsible for duties under his command. The task is to ensure the safety of the traffic line and **** the incoming military envoys.

  She has eighty horses and the necessary number of French military postmen, including Gill Gobert, friend of Godin Poitvin.

The cavalry is anxious among the mountain residents and the children of forest workers. These people are suitable to serve on the borders sold in the Alps and the Pyrenees. If they appear in the combat troops in the north, they are mainly attacking the highlands. And use them when searching the forest carefully.

Of course, they are also very suitable to go to Santo Domingo to fight in the jungle. Giorgioanna is actually very afraid that Napoleon will send her to Santo Domingo, because he seems to have abandoned human emotions and thinks about problems with absolute rationality. .

Love is the most suitable weapon for women, but even Cleopatra, encountering the incomprehensible Octavian is useless. He sends her out to perform military tasks, so that even if someone wants to inquire about her The whereabouts can't be done either.

  She didn't know where she would be sent, but she knew she was going to find her company, and then set off with the big group.

These cavalrymen were originally curious about how a girl would follow them, and they looked sideways at her. Later, when they passed the first resting place, they should all know about it, and they were all far away from her and Phyllis. .

  This cavalry group also has a small number of guards, Phyllis knows them, and through them, Georgiana knows that the place he is going to is the Alps, a place where witch hunting was once rampant.

  Later, a messenger came and gave her an order from Chief of Staff Berthier. She was also responsible for finding someone to shovel snow and opening up the passage for herdsmen to graze in the Alps.

  There are some 5-foot stunt cavalry companies stationed in the Alps all year round. According to the previous drafting standards, they cannot be soldiers at this height, but Napoleon himself is short, as long as he has combat power, he can use it as a short man.

  Georgiana herself was so resistant to mention Santo Domingo, not to mention Polina, who had been living in Paris, was caught on board.

  She felt more and more that sending the prisoner to Santo Domingo was a terrible idea.

  But if Georgiana had a choice, she was still willing to go to the Alps.

  Excuse me, she is not a saint, she will not go to that hell.

   "Damn sugar, **** coffee." Georgiana cursed, and then threw the general order to Phyllis, turned on her horse, and stayed away from the prosperous Babylon.
