Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1940 Egret Feather (3)

  Georgiana really didn’t know that so many things happened yesterday.

  Some men look for mistresses purely for confiding. Ten or nine of the corrupt officials investigated have mistresses. The reason why the old system was overthrown was largely due to corruption in the officialdom, especially the "mistress politics" of Madame Pompidou and Madame Dubali. If someone wants to do something, it is not through formal means, but by the king’s mistress.

  Napoleon is the kind of person who doesn't take the outside things home. Of course, Georgiana is not his "home" either.

  But yesterday, he had already made his speech very clear. The duty-free import of steel is his bottom line, but this is related to the construction industry and what does it have to do with the textile industry?

   Bonaparte’s angry look is terrible, and the senior Rouen official dare to quarrel with him, tusk.

  Business people hope to restore the 1789 French-British Trade Treaty, which has an order to gradually reduce the tariffs of the two countries.

By lowering tariffs, Rouen merchants can go to the UK to buy yarn more unscrupulously. Slavery reduces the cost of raw materials, and the use of child labor also reduces production costs. The soil in the UK has become very suitable for the textile industry, which means that the local area The backward textile industry that is developing in the countryside will be eliminated because it loses orders. Factory owners can make a lot of money. What about so many unemployed workers?

  Tariffs were given to the king, and Henry Petty also raised the issue of taxes yesterday.

  If you can’t hold the bottom line, you will go to war. He said twice that peace will not last long, and he probably has been able to bear his temper very much. There were also many soldiers who attended the welcome party in the town hall yesterday. Rouen’s army commander General Suchet also participated. He was obviously on Napoleon’s side. As long as the first ruler gave an order, he would dare to learn from Henry IV. Landing in Normandy then landing in England. What trade treaty was signed after the war started. What was needed at that time was good captains and sailors to escape the capture of the British Royal Navy, which was turned into pirates.

  Because of the pardon of Louis XIV, the anti-cotton cloth bill was abolished in 1759, and even in 1789, the cotton textile industry was still insignificant in the entire textile industry. There are many poor people in France, and Gebu sells so well, and brightly colored cloth can only be worn by the rich. The Great Revolution allowed some wealthy people to be divided from the assets of the church. It also made the people in the past richer than before. There is no need to wear Gebu. Georgiana had to transform Gebu from ordinary clothing into bandages and women. Hygiene products.

  It is no longer pure kudzu, it is mixed with cotton, so that it can absorb enough water. And the ones who should sell pure cotton yarn mixed hemp into cotton, which is mainly related to the price of cotton. When the price of cotton is very high, seven-eighths of the cotton cloth is linen, and "pure cotton" yarn is even more expensive. Only one-fourth is cotton, and some varieties are less than one-fourth.

  France, to be precise, the cotton cloth of Rouen is much thicker than that of Manchester. This is the key to success of the Rouen businessman.

  Good craftsmanship cloth is thin and strong, but ordinary people still feel that it is thicker and warmer. Ordinary consumers who are not engaged in the textile industry cannot distinguish whether the brightly colored cloth is pure cotton or blended.

  What about producing pure white cotton cloth in Asia and then dyeing it in Europe?

  Didn’t the East India Company destroy the textile industry in India, and the slave trade in the Atlantic Triangle is also related to the textile industry in Europe. Many blended fabrics are sold to Africa.

  This is the case in a closed circle. Maybe Georgianna is not as familiar with the textile industry as those bosses, but she also knows some news about the bosses, which is a state secret, and she can’t tell these factory owners to know.

Lafayette’s liberal nobles sacrificed their own interests. Of course, they don’t care about their own factories. It is very dangerous to go down to the mine without a steam engine to pump water. Otherwise, how could Leoncourt become a municipal official of Paris? .

  The nobles want to go back. This is clear, not only their own wealth, but also their status...

She thought too much and didn’t want to think about it anymore. Last time the wizard aristocrat who was among the exiles tried to assassinate Napoleon, but was annihilated by the wizards who obeyed Napoleon, and there was a piece of land cursed by black magic on Saint-Germain-des-Prés. , The nobles are unwilling to build houses there. I heard that holiness can drive away evil, and a monastery can be built on the top, and the French Ministry of Magic can be built on the bottom.

  There is also a street that will become a wizarding business street like Diagon Alley in the UK. The wizards will be gathered together like the British who live in the converted barracks, and others will be as casual as they want.

Just now, Archbishop Cambaseres made a very good proposal. Using tea instead of wine, she could just have a "milk tea cocktail party". Among so many Southeast Asian plants, she found a dish of bean curd. It happened that Farrong was here. Let him pick some, squeeze it into juice, and mix it with milk tea.

  Mary Antoinette didn't want to offend people, but she finally offended Duke Lozan and became a mortal enemy.

  Versailles is a place where people are bullied by others, even the Austrian princess, Marie Antoinette was bullied by Madame Dubali.

  Josephine is a Creole. She has not received musical instrument education in her hometown, which is unacceptable in the social circle of the nobility. The young Marie Antoinette didn't know how to play a musical instrument. Mrs. Dubali made her embarrassed in public at a tea party with women, so Mary ran to learn to play the piano.

  I started practicing piano a bit late in my teens. The harp is a little simpler and looks very elegant. Josephine only learned this under the guidance of his ex-husband.

  As for Mrs. Dubali, how could she make fun of the Austrian princess if she hadn’t had a king as her backer.

  The experience or lesson of the predecessors is to warn future generations. Maybe Rouen's female relatives think she is very arrogant, but isn't she an arrogant and rude Englishman?

  The monastery is very large. Half of it was allocated to the school of medicine and pharmacy. In the Middle Ages, doctors and barbers were not separated. Now the surgeons have moved to the University of Rouen, and the vacant dormitory has become a shelter.

  The other half is allocated to the Maritime Department of Rouen. The two are connected with each other and separated by the Church of St. Madalena. She is the woman who washed the feet of **** in the Bible.

  For more than a thousand years, she has been suppressed. Pope Gregory I once said in his sermon that she was an anonymous sinner who washed the feet of Jesus.

   "You don't know who I am." She looked at the church steeple in the distance and said softly in English.

  "Why do you say that?" the archbishop asked in French.

  She looked at the archbishop.

   "I know a monk. The biggest regret in his life is that he did not become a cardinal. But I think he will not be as happy as he is now in red."

   "I heard that you were once called a woman in red." The archbishop whispered softly, "Do you think the church across the sea will accept goddess officers in red?"

   "You're talking in sleep again." Georgiana laughed and said, "Leon was still complaining yesterday that you didn't give Caesar what you should give Caesar."

  Bishop Cambaseres thought for a while and laughed.

"Come on, it’s not our business to sign that hapless trade treaty. Let’s have fun." Georgiana smelled the fragrance of tea and knew it was "wine". To happiness, there are only pain and responsibility. Who wants to start a family?"

  The Archbishop opened his mouth, but didn't go to excuse it to be disappointed, and went to "play" with Georgiana.
