Chapter 1301 sine qua non

On the day when the Paris citizens stormed the Bastille, Georgiana's second guardian, the Duke of Lyoncourt, entered the palace with a sword to protect Louis XVI. Old-era aristocrats like him would not be afraid of thieves on the road, so he returned to Paris

Shortly after the report, he was sent out again to suppress the Shuan elements in western France who were causing trouble due to famine.

The so-called lords were not set up to fall in love with maids. They were the king's representatives in the parish and the intermediaries between the king and the residents. They had responsibilities such as enforcing the king's laws in the parish, convening militia, collecting taxes, and distributing relief.

.However, the lord is actually just a resident. In the letters written by the governor to their subordinates, the lord will be specifically described as the "first resident".

What makes this first resident different from ordinary residents is the tax-free circle and privileges. He has different status, not power.

Napoleon Bonaparte was the lord of Rambouillet. He could hunt in the forest, live in the castle, and force the local residents to grind flour in his mill and squeeze grape juice with his press, but he could not force other people to

Residents went to work in his sugar factory.

But refugees and those who do not want to engage in agriculture can go. The development of capitalism is closely related to the land ownership system. After leaving Notre Dame, he took her to the canal he visited last time and stood in the water.

Wash her feet.

He washed it with such concentration that it was as if her feet were not feet but the hooves of some kind of prey, and he, the hunter, was cleaning them before they could be sprinkled with spices and roasted on the fire.

If Georgiana was a Parisian woman who didn't know what permanent tenancy was and thought "I won't get married without love", then she would have the guts to flirt and play with Leon.

Now she doesn't dare to mess with him. "Useful" policies are not necessarily recognized and accepted by others. Just like those city gates that combine beauty, decency, taxation, etc., they are very useful in the planners' imagination, but they are turned out to be useless.

The angry people demolished it.

The advantage of permanent tenant rights is that the landlord can monitor the tenants. This is usually used by landlords to recruit people to reclaim wasteland after famine or war.

When the landlord leases the land, he first charges a certain amount of rent. Some tenants improve the soil on the barren land and turn the barren land into fertile land. Even if the tenant's harvest exceeds the landlord's expectations, the landlord cannot withdraw without reason.

Tenants, and can increase the rent at will.

The "gold" transported from the suburbs of Paris can create wealth, create conflicts, maintain order, or create chaos. The envoy sent by the Pope this time is indeed not simple. He stepped on Napoleon's trap in one fell swoop.

Pain in feet.

"Why are you so quiet? Are you uncomfortable?" He rubbed her soles teasingly.

"I don't want you to be distracted," she said with a frown.

"You know what I'm thinking?" he asked.

"Eternal Tenancy."

He smiled a little presumptuously, "Who taught you that?"

As the dean of a soil college, she would be ashamed if she didn't know some knowledge in this area.

"I can farm." she answered.

"You said last time that you could catch fish. What noble lady is like you?"

"I am not a noble lady."

"You and your maid Sophie walking together are as beautiful as a painting." Napoleon said, "There are countless people in the garden peeking at you."

She really didn't notice this.

"They envy me, they are jealous of me, but they can't do anything about me. Do you know what that feels like?" He smiled happily.

"Be careful of becoming a public enemy." Georgiana warned.

"I know, but I think I'm used to being a public enemy. Whether I'm in Cairo or Pavia, whether I treat the locals well or badly, they all turn against me, and then I realize that I don't care what they think.

It doesn't matter, they just need to obey me." He started rubbing her soles again, "I want to hear your voice, don't hold it back."

She glanced in the direction of the guard.

"Why do you still care about other people's opinions?" he said impatiently.

"I was born like this." She said sadly, and because of this, when she heard people around her saying that Severus really loved Lily, she couldn't help but mind it.

"He shouldn't have taken you out of Scotland." He stared into her eyes and said, "But I think if it were me, I wouldn't be able to help but take you out to meet people."

"How do you think I behaved today?" she asked.

He didn't speak.

"How is it?" she asked a little anxiously.

"Why did you suddenly think of the monastery?" he asked. "Do you remember that I had nothing to do with you last time?"

She glared at him.

"I want to know the truth." He said arrogantly.

"I was wearing a nun's clothes that day." She said coldly, "You were wearing a uniform."

He nodded in understanding, "I understand, you think you were raped by me."

"It's not as bad as you think. I don't think you should think too much about me wearing that outfit."

"What?" He frowned in confusion.

"Sister! Sister, do you know what you do?"

"You're not a nun."

"You can't do that to me when I'm wearing those clothes."

"Can I do it if you don't wear those clothes today?" He said as he put down her feet, picked up the water and walked towards the shore.

"Stop!" she yelled.

Of course he didn't listen and just jumped on her.

The ghost should be very cold, but he likes to take baths and warm himself by the fire, so his whole body is very hot, as if he is on fire.

"Scream, I want to hear your voice."

The remaining sense of shame kept her from doing so, and after one random act the Corsican bastard lay down next to her, and this time he was not slapped.

"I thought that after gaining power, pursuing women would become easy." After lying there for a while, he said in a slightly tired voice, "When I had no power or power, I saw that big men were surrounded by many women.

, later, when I became a big shot, I discovered that those people had their own intentions. The women I despised pursued me, the women I fell in love with hated me, and only Josephine loved me. I thought she was the only one in the world who loved me.

No one will ever think that I am a good person except you, until you show up and you flirt with me, I don’t feel disgusted, and you don’t seem to notice that you are flirting at all, right?”

"How could you think I was flirting!" she said angrily.

He looked at the sky and shook his head with a wry smile, "I fell into your trap, and Caprara. If he were decades younger, he might be as impulsive as me."

"He is a clergyman!" shouted Georgiana.

"What about the clergy? Those who have corrupt moral character will also fall. Don't be deceived by his appearance." The Corsican turned sideways and propped up his upper body on his elbows. "You didn't think I was a hero that day."

"That's what you had in mind from the beginning?" she asked angrily.

"No, I just want to see you. I had a great time on that date." He kissed her forehead. "Thank you, sister."

He said the last word in English. It is a polysemous word, referring to both nun and sister.

She did feel like she was dating her brother, even though Bonaparte was many years younger than her.

"Why did it become like this?" she asked in confusion.

"Impulse is the devil. I was impulsive, but I don't regret it." He said firmly. "This time is different from the last time. Permanent tenancy is a clever trick with sinister intentions. If I listen to him, the blood of the French will be shed again."

It flows everywhere, but it has so many benefits, it’s really hard for me to choose.”

"Are you asking for my opinion?"

"I'm telling you what's on my mind. It's so tiring to compete with smart people. I want to retire when I'm only 30." He said tiredly, "How do those old guys persist to this age?"

"Who are you talking about? People from the church?"

"He's a Venetian. Why did you think of telling him today that I want to retire?"

"I think showing weakness will have unexpected effects. You showed weakness during your second expedition to Italy." Georgiana said, "On the contrary, they will become insensitive."

Leon laughed.

"I did wrong?"

"The Venetians did not intend to join the anti-French alliance, but the reason why they did not join was not because they supported the French army, but because they were afraid of submitting to Austrian dominance and were unwilling to give up the timid, weak and incompetent policies pursued by the young oligarchs for generations.

Politicians want armed neutrality, but old guys believe that all disasters are fleeting. As long as they act patiently and make concessions, they can win the favor of the French. The French are naturally negotiable. Any armed neutrality will lead to war.

War was what they tried their best to avoid. They held celebrations for me one after another, allowing local famous families to establish contact with French officers. Every dignitary made friends with a French general. I originally wanted to deal with it in a gentle manner, but in the end I

When we asked them for the keys to the arsenal, they protested, saying that this undermined the neutrality of the Republic. We have not yet involved our essential interests, so just show weakness."

"Then I did the right thing?"

"Do you want to know what happened next?" He deliberately kept it secret.

"What do you want me to trade for?"

"This is where you are smart. If someone else would beg me to tell him, why should I agree?" Napoleon said somewhat sinisterly.

"Only the strong have the opportunity to choose mercy. Leon, you are a strong lion."

"I will be old one day, will you still be with me then?"
