Chapter 2050: "Polite lady"

Chapter 2050 "Polite Lady"

When the 24-year-old William Pitt Jr. had just become prime minister and faced the huge national debt left by the Seven Years’ War, he, like many young people, knew nothing about the relationship of interests.

His original proposal was to levy taxes on raw materials, especially dyed cotton and linen. Manufacturers must obtain new licenses, provide detailed information on raw materials, and confiscated machinery if tax payment defaults.

The cotton interest group was shocked by this "exaggerated taxation" and called on other industries to provide support. An angry Bolton shouted at the mine owners who supported William Pitt Jr.: "Let taxation be based on luxury goods and vices. If you Like it, it can also be built on property instead of taxing the means of obtaining wealth. Never try to cut the hen that lays golden eggs."

When the doomsday comes, children are often the first to be eliminated. Anyone who has seen lions hunting knows that their prey is generally old, weak, sick, and young calves and zebras must learn to run as soon as they are born, otherwise they will be eaten.

Solo animals will hide their children, while group animals will have a certain degree of organization. The young bulls in the herd will drive the lions away and hide the cows and calves in a relatively safe place.

However, orphans who have lost their parents are not included in this list. Even if it is not the end, they will either be sent to the factory as "apprentices" by the stewards of the orphanage in the parish, or they may be "rented" to perform magic tricks to assist in the "performance", who knows that day What will happen to these children without parental protection?

In the animal world, not all cubs will grow up. Diseases, accidents, etc., etc. The high mortality rate has caused a high birth rate. Whether it is Catholic or Protestant, there are more than a dozen children in the family. Letizia can give birth to many children. , As a result, it suddenly became impossible for Napoleon and his generation.

Maria Edgeworth is not married, she is already a 33-year-old girl, and Letizia gave birth to Napoleon Bonaparte when she was 16 years old.

If it weren’t for Severus’s sudden “opening up”, Georgiana might not be as good as Maria. At least Maria has a Swiss banker “boyfriend” James Moilliat who has been in contact for many years. He is also here. Under Bolton's introduction, he settled in Birmingham and gradually came into contact with Maria.

A "civilized man" will take into account the feelings of the woman, and will have the patience to have a "long" relationship with her.

Napoleon would not “consume” with her. Now she is a “celebrity” known throughout Europe and even the United States. But most people judge her age by the age of her appearance. At most, she is in her 20s, which is much younger than Napoleon in her 30s. No one will believe that her age is "old" enough to be considered. His mother is gone.

The "legendary" British Cleopatra is very coquettish and plump, completely in line with Napoleon's always "taste", he likes the slender and curvy blonde.

If he saw the portrait that people imagined for Georgianna, he didn't know what the reaction would be. Anyway, Georgianna would be laughing to death. Just like Maria said, it has nothing to do with the real her. Although her **** in the portrait are far less towering than the French Lady of Liberty, Marianna, she is relatively plump.

She is almost certain that she will not be recognized if she goes to the streets if she doesn’t wear makeup, so this armistice dinner will not be held in the form of a masquerade.

The next step is to determine what wine to use at the banquet. In this piece of St. Meri, he is still very reliable. He selected five from a dozen wine merchants and asked Giorgioanna to decide, mainly champagne. In addition, he invited some actresses to add to the fun. After all, he used a lot of theater props to paint the tent like a castle, and the proprietors of these theaters also hope to let their "posts" attend.

Georgina did not refuse to come, and also took a lot of bribes to cover the expenses needed to hold the banquet.

She tries to cheer herself up. For most women, shopping is happy, and Georgian’s fun is food magic.

It is very important for her to maintain an optimistic attitude. Alchemy comes from the kitchen, and agriculture is actually a kind of alchemy. If the yield per mu can be increased, the total amount of grain will still increase, so that not only will there be enough grain to make wine, but there will also be enough grain to ensure food security.

This needs fertilizer. She remembered seeing an explorer from Germany when she was in Paris. He showed her the guano mine found in Peru. The fertility is indeed pretty good.

Currently, manure is mainly used in the periphery of cities, and it is difficult to spread it in rural areas farther away. If a rural cooperative is established, it can start from buying fertilizer.

Rotten corpses can also make the land fertile, but she can’t accept it.

Stock competition means fighting. Every family wants to develop better. You must rob others. Even if you don’t rob yourself, you may be robbed at any time, so why not start first?

The kind that took the opportunity to resell at a high price is actually good. Napoleon used to be cut off the supply line in Egypt. When he was hungry outside the city, the defenders in the city received supplies from British warships.

Siege is like this. Even if the defending army can resist the enemy's artillery, it is difficult to resist hunger. When they are too hungry, someone will surrender. During the siege of Attila, the patron saint of Paris, Genaviev, took some people out to find food.

Her body was carried out and burned during the French Revolution. In the end, it was the priest desperately protecting the few bones.

Regarding the "Crown of Thorns" that Napoleon took her to see last time, many people have said that it was fake, and it was really hidden elsewhere, and it might even have been shipped to the Vatican.

The newly established French Republic is very unstable, and there are still many people who are unwilling to accept the return of the church. At this time, the real holy objects are taken out. What if the same turmoil occurs again and the holy objects are destroyed?

Georgiana tried to find that happy self again, or rather, not to let his thoughts go to waste.

The kind of "permanent peace" in Europe that Saint-Pierre hoped could not be achieved in the 19th century or even the 20th century. Let us see if the future generations can achieve this goal in the 21st century or even later.

Even if it is a short, false peace, it is peace. Almost every week, Napoleon will bring no more than 10 people to Robert’s restaurant to have dinner. It is not Josephine who presides over this kind of dinner. Georgiana treats this banquet as similar. It's dinner, and she is the woman who presided over the banquet.

The way Josephine wins over Napoleon’s people is to introduce women to them, or to match them up, or to take the initiative to approach the women who appear at the dinner party.

Georgiana’s method is to spend money. This style is very "British". It was only when she was about to appoint Parma's State Counselor that she found out how she was calculated by Napoleon, even though Napoleon seemed to trust her so that she could manage Sevres. The income of the ceramic factory.

She didn’t even know anyone. How could she arrange someone to be the State Counselor like Josephine?

Human resources are also a kind of resources, just like mines, waiting for people to dig. In addition to "a bad book is equal to a robber", there is a famous Italian saying that "not all gold will shine."

She agrees with this point. Gold can only reflect light. Only when there is light on it will it emit the same light as gold.

Parma will not arrange for an Englishman to be the State Counselor, but Edgeworth is in politics in Ireland, and he and his second wife are also in France.

He married the younger sister of his ex-wife like Bolton. Bolton has been talked about in Britain. Edgworth is in Ireland, where there is no precedent. Even if he doesn't care about the outside world, the outside world will still comment on him.

What's more, he and his ex-wife have children. Not everyone will poison her stepmother, like Snow White's stepmother, and not everyone will not give her beautiful clothes like Cinderella's stepmother, or let her participate. The ball held by the prince, but many parents have to take into account the feelings of their children when they remarry.

Josephine’s ex-husband was indeed a failure. In contrast, Napoleon is much better than him. No wonder Otense and Eugene like this stepfather.

In fact, Bonaparte wanted to win over her, and let her do things for him without using this method. Not all women turned to him after sleeping with a man. Artemisia’s "Judith Cuts" "Killing Holofernes" is an example.

In her spare time, she also designed a birthday gift to Napoleon. She decided to give him a table where a map can be placed. There should be a compass on the table so that he can point the map along the compass. The direction is placed.

When doing these things, she can forget something for a short time, so she feels a lot easier, but she dare not try to use the Hushen Guard.

She was very afraid that she would not be able to call out the patron saint. That was a bad thing, because she was very good at it before.

Why is there no compass to guide the path of life?

Gellert Grindelwald, a prophet, but also a liar.

Georgiana temporarily intends not to tell Napoleon about Kassandra’s "prophecy" because Erasmus Darwin supported the conversion of cattle ranch into farmland.

This is related to the corn law and the interests of many aspects. The price of meat is too high, and only the rich can afford it.

Wolves also like to eat, but the werewolves are too poor and they are squeezed out by the magic society. Remus Lupin was so downhearted before going back to school, he looked much older than the pampered Slytherin elder of the same age.

They could have a whole family if he didn’t go out for a drink that night.

Since Napoleon is dead, is she dead in the same world with him?

"Where am I?" She stroked the compass on the artwork and said to herself.

Then he glanced at the pocket watch that was walking backwards.

How can she be happy and carefree during the "countdown"?

This may be difficult for some people to understand, what it's like for a person to work hard even to be happy.

This emotion lost all happiness as if being attacked by a dementor. It was like a quagmire that would engulf people. Even if you knew you wanted to break free, it would be difficult to break free. He wanted to ask for help but didn't know how to ask for help.

She ate a piece of chocolate to relieve her mood.

She chose to temporarily forget that this sweet sense of happiness is related to slavery.

She once said that food can bring happiness.

Perhaps this is what she needs more urgently than happiness at the moment.

"Georgiana!"

She heard someone calling herself outside, so she looked out from the window and found someone flying colorful kites. They formed an artificial rainbow in the clear sky.

She looked at the people who were flying kites on the beach. She didn't know many of them, but they were all beckoning to her.

"Like it?"

Bonaparte asked at the door.

She turned her head and turned her eyes from the "rainbow" to him.

"Did you arrange it?"

"Don't you condemn me for misusing power?"

She looked back, and it was indeed a waste of manpower to find so many people to fly the kites.

But she ran over and hugged him.

"Am I dreaming?" she asked.

"I thought you should say thank you." He said.

"Do you want me to be so polite?" she asked back.

He didn't say anything, he patted her on the back, then took her hand and left the small farm, and went to fly a kite on the beach with others.
