Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2493 The past is like smoke

  Adam Smith once wrote in The Wealth of Nations: Every shrewd parent knows that if the cost of purchasing an item is less than the cost of producing it, he will not produce it himself. A tailor generally does not think of making his own shoes, preferring to buy them from a cobbler. And vice versa, shoemakers prefer to hire tailors to make clothes. As for the farmer, he can hire a tailor to sew his clothes and a shoemaker to make his shoes, provided he has enough money.

  Georgianna still did not leave after watching the magic show, the men and women in bright clothes. In fact, it is not so difficult to recover the stolen money that Jeanne spent. She mainly uses it to buy clothes and shoes, which are the "necessities" of Versailles. She only needs to follow her bills to those luxury manufacturers one by one. , even if you can't get all the money back, you can reduce your losses.

With Marie Antoinette's influence in the fashion world and Versailles, she could give such an order. If anyone came to the court wearing the goods made by a tailor or a shoemaker in the future, they would all be blasted out, in order to avoid When that kind of scene happens, there will be people who don't wear those clothes and shoes.

   These people have to make a choice at this time, either pay the money and stay in Paris, or leave Paris and develop elsewhere. The whole of Europe is learning the fashion of Paris, and these people who have served the court may have better development in other small principalities.

   No matter how much money Jeanne can spend, she can't afford to cause a large-scale population migration when Louis XIV repealed the Edict of Nantes.

  When Georgiana reappeared at the ball, the people closest to the door first spotted her, and they bowed respectfully to her.

  Others felt it, and they also saluted together, and soon even the music at the dance stopped, and the whole venue was silent.

   She didn't like this. She used to "dance" with everyone at the party in the Hufflepuff lounge, and everyone was very happy.

   But she still walked through the crowd calmly.

Charlotte was very high-profile when she "invited" Teresa Campini away. Except that Teresa Campini went out on her own and maintained the last decency, she had almost nothing to do with being kicked out. the difference.

Maybe Georgiana herself will one day, oh no, she was treated like this, when she was in charge of the dining hall of the Tuileries Palace, and then she was "struck" by high-ranking French officials, and then she was kicked out . The reason for this was the exemption from tariffs on British steel.

The premise of   dumping is that the commodity is not produced in the country and is a consumer product. For example, tea is not grown in the UK, so tea prices are dumped and occupying the UK market is not harmful to the UK.

   But when dumped goods compete with domestic goods, the losses suffered by domestic manufacturers need to be offset by the benefits received by consumers. British textiles were destructive and had import tariff protection, which was revoked by the Treaty of 1786.

The importance of    steel is self-evident, but it currently accounts for only 1% of France's gross national product, and the territory with iron ore is mainly concentrated in the hands of the nobles.

  The outbreak of the Great Revolution was sudden. July was the hunting season. The purpose of hunting in this season was not for the fur or meat of animals. If according to ancient etiquette, crops are growing vigorously in summer, animals such as wild boars will leave the forest and destroy the crops of farmers. At this time, hunting them will also ensure the harvest of food, but what is the age, hunting palaces are generally selected in In a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, of course, going hunting is for summer vacation.

   It is precisely because a considerable number of people leave Paris for vacation, and not many nobles really die by guillotine, and of course they are not in prison like Josephine, so they still maintain some old-time habits.

   She used to think Bonaparte was a hero. He and Josephine met romantically, but now she doesn't feel that way.

Perhaps Beethoven was in the same mood when he heard that Napoleon was going to be emperor. Germany has no shortage of princes and dukes who want to be emperor, because the crown of the Holy Roman Empire is elected by election, and it is not unique to the Habsburg family. As long as their own duchy can also become an elector, they can also become emperors. In fact, they are indeed like emperors in their own land.

   This huge gap made her in a bad mood, she kept a superficial smile and greeted a few people who were still familiar, their expressions... quite complicated.

   Even if some people don't shy away from visiting prostitutes like Dandong, they don't think it's a heinous crime.

   This is the difference between men and women, why do women beat women instead of men? Georgiana herself played it vividly, even though she herself was not like some wives who beat women outside and planned to continue living with her husband.

  Maybe the people whispering behind her are saying that she has no tolerance. Campini is already a member of the "passenger", so why target her?

   As long as Di Roque gets involved in this matter, Campini will not really do anything, she will still be fine, just like Jeanne can write everywhere after being whipped, and there is not even a debt collector.

  2 million francs, the money of a warship, and it will be gone in one fight?

   Father Gregoire stood before her.

   She was a little surprised, after all, a priest should not appear in such entertainment.

   "Let's talk," said the priest.

  Georgianna looked at the Duke of Alba's family not far away, and she wanted to know how to get to South America.

   Marie Antoinette and the king took a lot of valuable jewelry with them before running away, but this also revealed her whereabouts...

   "Let's talk." The priest blocked her view.

   "What are you talking about?" she asked listlessly.

   "I know, you're angry right now," Gregova said, "but please don't lose your mind."

"I didn't lose my mind." Georgiana said with a smile, her head was still able to analyze the international situation just now. John Adams appointed a lot of judges before leaving office. How much threat and trouble did these judges pose to the current President Jefferson, at least Surely they will be "upright and impartial" after the vice president's case breaks out.

  Gregoire sighed.

   "Where is Saint Merry?" Georgiana asked the people around with a smile.

   "He...is sick." said someone next to him.

   "Seriously?" Georgiana continued to ask with a sweet smile.

   The other party glanced at Father Gregoire.

   "As long as he's not dead, let him come over, this party is dead." Georgiana said coldly, "How is he responsible?"

  No one spoke, and Georgiana went straight to the Duke of Alba, when someone blocked her way.

   "Can I invite you to a dance?" asked the man with a beautiful moustache.

   "Who are you?" asked Georgiana.

   "I won't tell you unless you dance with me," he said jokingly.

   She glanced at the people around her, and it seemed that everyone wanted her to dance.

   "I hope you are a good dancer." Georgiana said, putting her hand on his.

   Then he took her into the middle of the dance floor and danced a minuet.

   At the same time, the music started again, and everyone joined in one after another, and all of a sudden it started to be dressed up again.

   "Can you tell me who you are now?" asked Georgiana.

   "I heard you're going to build a prison." Moustache asked "Why not a garden?"

   "Because of typhoid fever in the original prison." Georgiana said, "Who are you?"

   "Should I ask what you plan to make the prison look like?" he said with a smile.

  Georgianna froze for a moment.

   "Usually I'll ask you what you plan to do with your garden."

   "That's a shame," she smirked.

   "I heard that the idea for that prison came from Bentham." He said bitterly, perhaps because of his accent, whose name sounded weird. "I'm not familiar with him."

   She wanted to ask who the other party was. To be honest, this person was very handsome and tall, but it was the same reason, the price. If she bought something more than she could produce, she would consider producing it herself.

Madame Pompidou opened a pottery factory, and Justinian inquired about the production process of silk, but Spain, who discovered silver in South America, did not become rich and powerful because of it. They have so much money in their hands, why do they have to work hard to buy things with silver coins? Do it yourself?

   instead took Spanish money, and the countries that supplied them developed their own handicrafts and industries.

   Betrayal of Napoleon will pay, at least not yet.

   Before, she was still thinking about how he would betray her relatives, and even had the idea of ​​accompany him to St. Hena Island.

   Now that she thinks about it, she really likes the young general who is holding a portrait of Josephine and showing it everywhere, but unfortunately he is just like the years and will never come back.

   "I want to dance the waltz," said Georgiana.

   The man who danced with her was a little surprised, but she laughed.

   No matter who he is, every day she never dances is a betrayal of her life. Today, she wants to have fun and do whatever she wants.

   As for the reply, go to him.
