Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2285 Jackal's Loyalty (middle)

While making tea, Georgiana counted the time. Bonaparte invited her to eat Austrian chocolates before the signing of the Treaty of Amiens and after the British bombarded Copenhagen. The British Alliance, but Austria does not seem to have joined.

   If you don't take a stand, you'll always be the winner's trophy, because whoever wins doesn't need dubious allies who don't come to their aid in adversity.

Georgina really did not expect that a branch of Peruzzi Bank would survive in Amsterdam, and it still survived by the exchange business with the Hanseatic League. After all, the Baltic Sea was the "game reserve" of the Hanseatic League. No one outside the alliance members is allowed to trade, and there will be no Italian merchants east of the Rhine.

   But Amsterdam is right on the Rhine River, although the Hanseatic League can bring fruit, olive oil, and various wines from southern Europe, some things they still can't get, such as the mirrors of Venice.

  I haven't heard of any luxury goods in northern Europe. The luxury goods are mainly from Italy and France. At this moment, she suddenly remembered to look in the mirror, how would she see guests if she was sloppy.

  People always unknowingly live the way they once hated the most. In fact, she doesn't mind living in the "burrow" like Molly.

Archimedes said, give me a fulcrum, I can move the earth, which is why the Belgian railway issued securities this time to make those people crazy, such as he bought 1,000 pounds of securities, mortgaged them to the bank, Take out an 80% to 90% loan, then use the funds you get to continue buying stocks, then mortgage. These people can get 10 times the loan by adding leverage. The earth will not necessarily be shaken, but it will cause a financial tsunami, making the earth tremble with the exception of the indigenous people in the virgin forest.

   The French credit default in 1788 led to the bankruptcy of many of the banks that lent money to Louis XVI to fight the war. France won the war, which was good news, but what "substantial" benefits did the "Paris Peace Treaty" have for France?

  There is no benefit, and the account is still there. Is there any other way besides raising taxes and selling officials? In this way, it was still stretched, and in the end, the debt repayment was simply suspended. Austria, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Russia, and Spain all had sovereign defaults. It was like a chain reaction. Instead, England profited from it, because the mainland debt crisis completely lost the Netherlands. The status of the European financial center was replaced by London.

Edward III's default led to the wool workers' uprising in Florence. The city was paralyzed by the Black Death. At that time, Florence had formed an oligarch who controlled taxes and used them to pay debts, which were not their personal debts, but is public debt.

  The wool worker did not lend money to the King of England to fight the war, so how could this debt fall on him? This involves the issue of public credit, but the wool workers will not listen to the gentlemen explaining that they have launched an armed uprising to bring down the "fat people".

  The logic of zero-sum game is different from that of positive growth. Positive growth requires credit, but zero-sum game does not, or it is not the kind of "commercial credit" that bankers think.

   This is the same as wool workers not being able to understand what public debt is, in this case only irreconcilable violence.

  In a zero-growth society, people's ingenuity and ingenuity are used in violent disputes, but they will cater to the identity of the countryside. People in the countryside think that people with a positive growth mindset are absurd. How can they borrow money to spend ahead of time? Unless the family is really out of money, farmers will go to usury to borrow money, mortgage their hard-earned land for generations to borrow to buy those "fashionable" farm implements. The level of China is far behind the Netherlands, and the Netherlands is a typical businessman thinking, otherwise how could they use the land for flower farming?

Strictly speaking, flowers are not even commercial crops. They are horticultural crops. Beets are commercial crops. They can be used to make sugar and can be eaten. Flowers can only be seen. Growing potatoes is so laborious, let alone growing flowers.

  14th-century Italian bankers also treated kings as ordinary customers, and 15th-century Genoese added a rule that if a debt defaulted, they could stop further credit. By the 17th century, as Spanish lands were occupied by the Netherlands, Genoa's status as a European financial center was also replaced by Antwerp and Amsterdam, which had a developed public credit system under the auspices of the Holy Roman Empire.

   Because of the marriage of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, the Dutch lent money to Louis XVI, who then involved France in the American war. At that time, both the United Kingdom and the United States hoped that he would remain neutral. According to Machiavelli, a person who is not friendly to you will seek your neutrality. Let’s not talk about the relationship between the United Kingdom and France. John Adams did not like the French at first. The French Jefferson also had a conflict with France because of the sale of Louisiana, and the Hope Bank, one of the two banks that supported the acquisition, was ABN Amro.

   It was a bank that supported the slave trade and monopolized the exclusive rights of the Russian sugar trade. In the past when the farmers' association held a meeting, they talked about how some farmers would rather have 8 thin cows than 5 strong and milk-producing cows. According to the law promulgated by France in the 17th century, slaves belong to movable property. For the slave owner, the more "movable property", the more money he can borrow. The favorable loan conditions allow him to expand and expand in that "virgin land". Farms, but this premise is westward, and Louisiana is just in the way of the United States going west.

   If the Louisiana takeover goes through, it's not just a commission, but a wider market -- on the basis that slavery was legal and ethical. Jefferson's election was largely related to the votes in Georgia. If the Georgia ballots were invalid, he might not be elected, but he was clearly opposed to slavery, like Franklin and Hamilton.

Louisiana currently uses Spanish law, speaks Spanish, and has a large number of Spaniards. In the 16th century, Spain was in South America, and the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes made it difficult for the people to live. There was a masked ranger named Zorro with strong swordsmanship. He was weak, killed the people, and married a beautiful and good girl. Then this Zorojiu, who upheld justice and pursued freedom, took her with her, rode a horse, and went to other places to act as a chivalrous person.

  Countries like this kind of story, even if it's illegal to use a sword to solve a problem.

   American Westerns don't have Zorro, but there are fast gunmen cowboys, even if it's illegal to duel in the street like they do...

"what are you doing!"

  Georgianna looked at the figure in the mirror and said.

   The purger from America was standing behind her, watching her sort out her clothes.

   She pulled out her wand and turned to look at him.

   "Your guest is here." He said lightly, then turned and left as if he was really just here to announce.
