Chapter 1289 The use of money

Rousseau once said that before men and women started a family, their lifestyles were almost the same. After forming a family, this gender division of labor naturally formed. Women became more stable and quiet, while men went out to provide for their families.

Taste.

For a king, he must ensure that his subjects have enough to eat. Napoleon did this. Although the price of bread still rose due to famine, it did not force people to take risks, and he

Also looking for food everywhere.

In contrast, the Bourbon royal family could not even do this. Quesnay's economic reforms resulted in no profit for the citizens who bought the grain and the farmers who grew it. Instead, the middlemen made the difference and became rich overnight.

What Rousseau said is not absolute. There are also situations where women are dominant outside and men are dominant inside. However, Georgiana agrees with the division of labor between men and women after marriage.

She didn't like Draco's new wife Astonia very much, but she hated his ex-girlfriend Pansy even more. That girl was always afraid that others wouldn't know her point of view.

Mrs. Stael likes to publish books, and she likes to flaunt the image of bourgeois women in her books.

Georgiana is the kind of "woman behind the man" who really can't do anything in the limelight. She also supports women in power as long as they are capable enough.

Napoleon showed her the book "Telphine" written by Mrs. Stahel. After reading this "female novel", she had only one thought - she and Mrs. Stahel were not from the same world. If they met, they would definitely

will become a mortal enemy.

Mrs. Stael believed that when a woman's fate is combined with the man she loves, whenever he comes home, whenever she hears his footsteps, whenever she opens the door, she

She will feel a great happiness. She absolutely does not want a marriage without love.

Georgiana estimated that Napoleon wanted to talk to her about political marriages. There were many young men and women in his family who wanted to marry for political reasons, and almost all of these marriages had no basis in love.

He first made Mrs. Stahel a disgusting person, so that she would preconceptionally think that everything Mrs. Stahel said was wrong, and it would be convenient for him to continue talking.

It was hard to tell whether she was angry because "women who can bear children are best", or whether the Corsicans were angry about her conspiracy, or whether Mrs. Stael was angry because she took it for granted that financial independence was easy.

Madame de Staël is just a Parisian woman. Her world is only the salon and the admirers surrounding her. Georgiana also has to deal with the wandering veterans and let them marry women who are looking for men to marry in the countryside. She has no time.

Pay attention to this idealist who married for love.

Paris is so prosperous, and if you are used to the hustle and bustle of the city, it will be very uncomfortable to go back to the deserted and monotonous countryside. She agrees with Rousseau who said that people should no longer gather in big cities, but how to catch up?

The famine caused food prices to skyrocket, and also made wheat growers make a lot of money, and they would support Napoleon.

The reason why France dominates Europe is because of its population. If it really planned to attack Prussia, the Prussians would have few people and inaccurate guns. Facing the massive French army, their front would soon collapse.

If he wants to recruit soldiers, more people will go to the battlefield if he recruits soldiers, and many of them will be as helpless as those wandering veterans.

But bread is not expensive, and if people can maintain their lives, the rate of population growth will increase. France's conscription system is for marriage, and men with children are not conscripted. There are many early marriages in rural areas, and Catholicism does not allow abortion, like Leticia's

There are many women who have given birth to more than a dozen children, but there are fewer children who survive and reach adulthood. In addition, there are even fewer wars.

Historically, Bonaparte married the Habsburg princess because of her belly. She also had more than a dozen brothers and sisters.

A man who believes that "a woman who can bear children is the best woman" meets a woman who "marries for love, not for bread". The two of them are like Sparta and Greece. If only Mrs. Stael had known each other better.

Fortunately, I don’t know how she came into contact with the soldiers who were planning to mutiny, so she ran to Switzerland to seek refuge.

Now she wants to go back to Paris and continue living her old life, but Napoleon does not allow her to go near Paris. In Georgiana's case, she can go to the monastery and stay in the countryside. It is extremely painful for a Parisian woman not to be able to live in Paris. I'm afraid.

In order to take revenge on the dictator Napoleon, God knows what she and her comrades would plot, and the suspicious Corsicans would never let her come back.

The Corsican just said that she changed her views after meeting Georgiana and believed that "women who cannot bear children are also good". Of course she didn't believe this.

He just still has a fresh feeling for her now, and when he faces practical problems, he will think rationally again.

She just pitied herself and Josephine. They were both the kind of women who couldn't have children, so they had to accept new women.

This was God's punishment for her. Even if Napoleon spoke tenderly and sweetly to her at this moment, she was not interested in listening to it.

The French are actually very cute. The rural women in the bandage station and the male cooks who will take the initiative to help her with physical labor. They like to be close to their people in power. Napoleon also had times when he was kind to the wounded soldiers. This was not a show, but

I really think so. This is different from the British people who "will give my votes to whoever gives me benefits".

Perhaps Mrs. Stael would ask Georgiana: "Why do you want to help France when you are an Englishman?"

Napoleon was quite right. Religion meant order. Georgiana could ignore Mrs. Stael's views on marriage and love, but she would never allow the "Crusader" to appear again. She and Napoleon had the same idea on this point, and they could not be motivated by religious fanaticism.

Soldiers fight.

Among war crimes, robbery is good, and anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. What she cares about is the safety of civilians.

The use of force is not allowed in the church. She doesn't care what atheists think. For this reason, she will support the return of the church, but this church must be a peace-loving church, not a church that incites crusades.

"What do you think?" the Corsican asked her.

"How did she get in touch with the people in the military camp?" Georgiana asked, "Why would a woman get involved in this?"

Napoleon laughed.

"what's so funny?"

"Your husband told you to divorce when you were about to have an adventure. I thought he wanted to upset you and make you die." He held her head and kissed her. "The blood and dead bodies on the battlefield are not scary, but the most terrifying thing is

They are actually living people. I experienced a mutiny when I was a new soldier. It was still during the Great Revolution..."

"I know this, Severus told me." Georgiana said, "The soldiers in your battalion asked the noble and senior officers to hand over their gray income."

"Through that incident, I understood that money is not used for pleasure, but to help people make a difference in their lives. If I come to this world without leaving any trace, my life will be in vain.

, my general at that time said to me, 'Nabonioni, you don't look like a modern person living today at all, but from the time of Plutarch.' Even Josephine didn't understand me. She only followed

I said, 'Ha, Bonaparte, if I die, who will still love you?' I was originally very afraid of this. If she is going to die, no one will love me anymore. Now that you are here, she may be in crisis.

Feeling, she is afraid that I love you more than her..."

"Have a religious ceremony with Josephine." Georgiana said, "It will make her feel at ease. And I am an English woman. Protestant and Catholic weddings cannot be held."

"I know you will not marry me. What I want to ask is, have I left any traces in your heart? You are not indifferent when I am with other women. You will hate me, blame me, and curse me.

"

"I thought you wanted to be loved."

"One thing you should know is that Josephine will be jealous. She is always worried that I will fall in love with another woman. I think you are the same."

She sighed, "The Virgin Mary is not jealous."

"I know, but only in this way can you be real." He held her arm firmly, "I don't want this to be just a dream."

"You want too much, my lion." She said calmly, "Your biggest enemy is actually yourself."

"I can't leave you." He put his face on her hand. "I'm sorry for Severus. I can help him get anything he wants, except you."

"Don't confess to me, Leon."

"I want to repent to God, but where was it when we were in dire straits?" he cried, "I can't leave those soldiers with the Black Death to the Turks, I can only leave the opium wine to them.

.”

"You gave them the honor and let them choose how their lives ended." She hugged Bonaparte's big head. "They died as free men."

"I think they would rather die in bed at home, with their families," he said, choking up tears.

"Do you want to die with your brothers and sisters?" said Georgiana.

"No!" he immediately shouted calmly.

"Not everyone loves their families. Maybe they prefer to die that way, to die with their comrades." Georgiana said without conscience, "Severus and I left an oath, either live together,

Or die together, because we have experienced the war and understand the pain of loss. Lily, the woman he loved, died together with her husband, and my student and her husband also died on the same day. They don’t have to

Experiencing the pain of life and death, there are things in this world that are more painful than death itself, such as slaves, slavery must be eliminated, my lion."

"They will definitely like you." Leon said.

"I'm good at talking empty words, but it's hard to say whether I can put it into practice." She smiled and said, "We have to let men and women who can't afford to get married get married. Life will get better, and men and women will no longer be agile.

But together they are even more powerful against the beast."

"That's why I love you and hate Madame de Staël, she's such a bitch." Bonaparte wiped away his tears and said with hatred on his face.

"As long as you don't let her go back to Paris, you can't see her anymore."

"Can you help me teach her a lesson?" Bonaparte said. "Only women can attack women."

"Where are your sisters?"

"They don't care about this. The money given to them is just for their enjoyment."

"You gave me money to hire thugs?"

"……That was not what I meant."

Georgiana thought about the village women at the bandage station. They seemed to be quite strong, but she didn't know if they were willing to do this part-time job.

"You agreed?" Bonaparte asked expectantly.

"I have to think about it," she said heartily.

"From the day you walked with me on the street, I knew you were not the kind of woman who covets the prosperity of Paris." Bonaparte put her hand on her heart. "How about we go to the ceremony together on the day when the canal construction starts?"

"That's the occasion for the first lady to go."

He looked at her and shook his head, "Promise me, or I will reinstate the blockade of Britain."

"I don't know in what capacity?"

"You don't need to explain." Bonaparte smiled confidently. "They all know who you are."
