Chapter 1254 Nothing

On the night of July 14, 1789, when a tsunami-like roar and the rumble of guns came from outside the palace, the nervous Louis XVI asked anxiously, "Is this a rebellion?"

At this time a Duke replied "No, Your Majesty, this is a revolution."

The Duke who answered Louis XVI's question at that time was Mademoiselle Georgiana's new guardian, the citizen La Rochefoucauld Lyoncourt, who looked as funny as a clown in public but was dignified in the carriage. He had

In 1789, he was elected as a representative of the three-level parliament and politically belonged to the liberal aristocracy headed by Lafayette.

There were many factions in the French Revolution. Although they were similar, they were not all the same. The liberal aristocrats included some overseas colonial plantation aristocrats, but most of them were business owners engaged in mining and metallurgy. Napoleon's army needed guns and made guns.

Cannon needed metallurgy and mining. As a remaining "regicide" of the Jacobins, he became a close partner with the nobles who used to accompany Louis XVI. It would be "shocking" if word got out.

However, their relationship is like this. The wealth of the nobles needs to be protected by the military. The equipment of the soldiers and the luxurious life of senior officers also need the financial support of the nobles. Now they have to join a class of financiers, who are also the marriage partners of the newly rich military officers.

As the Egyptians said, no matter how precious turquoise is, it cannot be eaten as food. The Baltic Sea is an important food-producing country. They do not produce food, and France is destined to have a bad harvest. It will take a month for the autumn harvest to realize that.

The whole world was looking for supplies, and when the food arrived, the civil uprising ended, which made it easier for the new rulers to win over people's hearts.

And given the current active performance of the royalists, it is tantamount to making a wedding dress for Louis XVIII.

Originally, the situation in Paris was not that bad. The grain of seven sous per pound in towns outside Paris was only sold for about two sous in Paris. Of course, smart people knew to transport the cheap grain in Paris to sell it outside the city.

It happened that residents in the city were in demand for foreign goods, and a smuggling industry chain was formed.

The Prince once said that if you act generously just to gain a reputation for being generous, then this behavior will actually harm you.

In the ninth year of the Republic, at a reception held at the Paris Charity Society, Napoleon once asked citizen Lyoncourt, the "great philanthropist", what is the use of generosity if it is not for profit and vanity?

Napoleon was a very sensitive person, which led him to be very suspicious at times. Leoncourt replied that Louis XVI was a benevolent monarch, but the reputation of benevolence would not make the army afraid, not to mention that no one would be embarrassed if it could not be fulfilled.

Check work.

From then on, these old-time aristocrats who had been marginalized or fled overseas began to walk openly and openly on the streets of Paris as philanthropists.

The emperor's methods did not care about formality. Louis XIV led a luxurious life, which made the rural lords no longer think about revolting. The king used gold coins and debts to make them obedient.

Doing good deeds costs money, and may even deplete the family fortune, but the principle is similar to spending money squandering to gain a reputation for generosity. All women who followed Napoleon will not live a bad life. A woman may not care about jewelry or luxury houses, but

How many people can resist such a kind and pure reputation?

Obviously after getting a substantial relationship, Bonaparte was still not satisfied, and he was still launching attacks. At this moment, "Georgiana" hoped that he would spend his thoughts elsewhere instead of himself.

A monarch who is usually shrewd but dim at critical moments is worse than a monarch who is usually dim but shrewd at critical moments.

She had also dealt with emotional disputes in school, which usually resulted in duels between love rivals, which developed into group fights, or at worst, antagonism in the college.

The granary was still relatively tightly guarded. Napoleon also guessed that Severus might attack the granary, so he sent purgers to guard it. However, I don't know whether it was Severus who was clever or these mercenaries had ulterior motives. In short,

Several "seeds" in the granary sprouted overnight.

He knew that mercenaries were unreliable, but he couldn't find any wizards in France. The Free Masons Alliance had come into contact with some wizards, but they were mainly stonemasons and didn't know much about wizard society.

If we were in the slaughterhouse before, the terrorist acts in the big market could only be regarded as a small incident. If we disturb the granary, we will disturb Napoleon Bonaparte's scales.

All secret police, spies and informants in various places were told to find the saboteur in Paris, and his reward was increased from 300,000 francs to 350,000 francs.

The problem was that Napoleon didn't know what Severus looked like. He only remembered that he had a scar on his neck. Sooner or later, such a high-profile search would make the civilians in the city aware of the abnormality, so citizens of Lyoncourt went there in person to protect themselves.

The identity of "Georgina" was sent to the Tuileries Palace.

The term "faint king" is worse than that of a tyrant, and a "faint king" is often associated with one or two beauties. Pomona never dreamed that one day she would become a "disaster" that would harm the country and the people.

She thought she was having a ridiculous dream, and when she woke up, she was still in the Herbology Greenhouse at Hogwarts.

Because she left in a hurry, she didn't even change the velvet skirt she wore when working. This was also produced in France. It was not an expensive luxury product like silk, but it was not a cheap fabric like muslin. It is the same kind of fabric used to make military uniforms.

Fabric.

Like a new fireman, she was brought to the scene of the "fire" by the experienced citizens of Lyoncourt, the assembly hall on the right wing of the Tuileries Palace.

The last time she went to the Doge's Palace in Venice, she felt that the palace was too empty and there was not a single piece of furniture in it. Now she knew where the chairs and tables where the Venetian Ocean Children had sat were. They were all in Tuiler.

In the inner palace, I am currently being sat under the buttocks of various high-ranking French officials.

"Monsignor Bonaparte has been scolding for two hours." The guardian said to Pomona, "Please help those poor people."

She still didn't dare to go in.

An empty house and a packed conference room are two different things.

When she hesitated, Napoleon's secretary first spotted her.

Napoleon's first secretary, Brian, was a classmate of Napoleon and was also 30 years old. He applied for retirement because of physical and mental exhaustion and excessive pressure. He was later appointed as the ambassador to Norway for self-cultivation.

The secretaries who succeeded him usually didn't last long. Although it was an honor to be Napoleon's secretary, Pomona couldn't remember whether this secretary was the one she met at St. Luke's last time. Anyway, the other party recognized her.

, the secretary whispered a few words in Napoleon's ear, and just now he put his hands in his pants and pointed at the noses of the senior officials. The Corsicans, who were roaring as if they were firing cannons, immediately fell silent.

He looked back at Pomona, his eyes terrifying and sinister, completely devoid of the tenderness in the past.

"Do you need a rest? Your Excellency?" the secretary asked earnestly. The senior officials also looked at Bonaparte longingly, as if these people who were scolded needed a rest more.

"Continue in ten minutes."

Without the need for a secretary to announce, all senior officials immediately stood up, and the dull sound of wood scraping against the floor suddenly sounded in the committee.

She hid aside to allow the officials participating in the meeting to evacuate quickly. Some continued to talk, while others looked at her curiously as they passed by. In the end, only Napoleon was left in the overcrowded committee.

He not only knew how to take snuff, but also smoked, but instead of smoking cigarettes, he smoked with a pipe.

If she cares about his smoking at this time, she will definitely think that her life is too long.

After the secretary also left, she walked in without closing the door.

Napoleon's position was in the middle of the conference hall, not in the most noble position farthest from the door, where he could be heard by everyone.

She walked up to him, took the pipe in his hand, and took a sip a little unfamiliarly. The fermentation method of this tobacco leaf was also different from that of modern tobacco, and the taste was stronger.

Choking.

She felt lazy all over, but her mind was very clear. After tasting it, she returned the pipe to him.

"Seizing other people's property, wives and children will definitely make you enemies. If you do it even though you know it, don't you think you're stupid?"

Napoleon continued to smoke.

Georgiana pressed his shoulders. His muscles were not as thick as Severus's, and his shoulders were not broad, so his head looked particularly big.

"You can let me go." She said a little tiredly. "It's not yet the point where you have to kill me to vent the public's anger."

"Who does he know in Paris?" Napoleon asked grimly.

"You know men, you don't bring anything outside home to talk about."

He breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought this time it would be as easy as last time."

Pomona suddenly thought of his little Cleopatra and her husband, a lieutenant who was promoted for his wife's contribution.

"He is a very stubborn person. Do you know about the Anti-French Alliance?"

The rebellious First Consul of France smiled, showing a mouth of fairly white and neat teeth.

"We also have an anti-dark magic alliance there, but he always insists on using black magic, even if the woman he loves breaks up with him because of it."

"Are you not the woman he loves?"

"Then do you think you love me?" Pomona asked Napoleon.

He looked at her in surprise.

"If there is no ownership issue and a thing can be shared, then there is nothing to fight for. It is precisely because of the desire to enjoy it exclusively that there is competition. Socrates and Plato advocated the abolition of private ownership, so that everyone should not divide what is yours and mine.

…”

"What a theoretician." Napoleon interrupted her contemptuously.

"I know you support private ownership, which is why the bourgeoisie thinks you are cute." She tugged his Greek nose. "Mr. Leoncourt just told me that problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

, can you not be like the commander during the Battle of Toulon, the first thing you did after taking office was to clean up the interior?"

"He's like a rock in my boot, always there to annoy me."

"If I make you happy, can you let him go?" Pomona said with a smile, squeezing his shoulder teasingly.

"Is he worth this?" Napoleon said unhappily.

She whispered in his ear.

He smiled ambiguously.

Georgiana picked him up and let him leave the meeting.

"You can rest for fifty more minutes." Pomona said to the secretary and Mr. Leoncour who were guarding the door, and then she took Napoleon's hand like a pet lion and headed towards Tuileries.

Walk to the left wing of Sato Palace.

"I find that you intellectuals are all hypocrites." The Corsican dictator said, "You have to find an excuse for yourself to do disgraceful things."

Pomona slapped him in the face.

"If it were someone other than you, I would rather die." She said painfully, "My soul has been stained by you."

She cried while talking.
