Chapter 1369 Substitute

It took a lot of hard work for Georgiana to make Rochambeau understand that capturing Saint Dominic and reestablishing slavery and the colony were not the main purpose of the expedition.

He was a staunch supporter of the plantation and one of the tobacco businessmen whose assets were confiscated by Napoleon. This time he worked so hard in the hunt and was eager to participate in the expedition for the sake of his family.

Georgiana arranged for one of her cousins ​​to work at Bernadotte's Sèvres porcelain factory, while her youngest daughter Michelle stayed with her. After the tobacco company was established, his eldest son would take over the responsibility in the company.

A position.

She wanted to place Michel next to Josephine, but now everyone with a discerning eye could see that Josephine had "fallen out of favor". Later, Mrs. Lanner introduced a minister's daughter named Paula. This girl

He has a lively personality, is young and beautiful, but Georgiana doesn't like him very much.

Later, Madame Larner promoted a niece of the Guards, Phyllis, to her satisfaction. This girl was very obedient, not very good-looking, but very quick at work.

She was not like this before. She also liked smart students in school, but now she has changed.

Girls like Paula are a "threat" to her. She doesn't want her relationship with Josephine to become like Madame Pompidou and Queen Mary. She, the "chief mistress", is surrounded by a group of young girls and is jealous.

target.

Napoleon's body has indeed become worse after his two campaigns across the Alps and Egypt. He now rides less and less often, and usually rides in a carriage.

Two days after the monument was erected, they moved back to the Grand Trianon from Paris. The King's Botanical Garden was converted into a place where he received ministers and worked. There were ready-made hot water pipes there to ensure indoor temperature.

No more having to light a fire like in the Tuileries and St. Luke's.

According to newspapers, the winter of 1801 was colder than that of 1800. The price of charcoal and firewood in the city soared. There were also cases of carbon monoxide poisoning, all of which occurred indoors with the doors and windows closed.

Firing porcelain will definitely generate heat, so Georgiana wanted to find someone to design a heating system using the heat source of the Sèvres porcelain factory to provide heating for the townspeople.

The two "owners" lived in the greenhouse, but the Grand Trianon was occupied by others. Paulina's husband Leclerc was not at home. In order to prevent her from continuing to "play nonsense" in the house in the suburbs, she was

Napoleon arrived at the Grand Trianon.

She didn't like Georgiana and didn't want to "disturb her work," so she found Mrs. Tallian, Houvral's mistress, to keep her company.

Mrs. Tarlian was the daughter of the Spanish banker Count Cabarrus. She married the Marquis of Catane when she was 16. She was arrested during the Reign of Terror and was almost guillotined.

Later, she gained the love of Talian, a powerful figure in the Jacobin faction, in prison. One day, she threw a piece of cabbage to him through the crack of the cell window, with a note inside: If you are really as you say,

If you love me with all your heart, please spare no effort to save France and me.

So before this beautiful woman was sent to the guillotine, Tarien, Barras, Fouche and others launched the Thermidor coup, Robespierre and his supporters were sent to the guillotine, and the nobles obtained

After her release, people called her "Our Lady of Thermidor".

A few years after marrying Tallien, she became the mistress of the Director-General Barras, hosting a salon every night in her actual palatial home called "The Cottage", where Parisian politicians, celebrities, soldiers and ladies

In and out, she became a social star during the Directory period.

Napoleon and Lucien had gone to her place when they were still little people. They had a close friendship with the lady and met Josephine in her salon.

However, after Napoleon came to power, he refused to invite her to the palace and did not allow her to associate with Josephine.

Mrs. Tallian is good at art and music, and the concert hall and gallery of the Grand Trianon Palace can be used by the musicians and painters she supports.

She advocates the restoration of ancient Greek art, but it is different from Madame Recamier's neoclassicism. For example, Madame Recamier will never paint a portrait without clothes, but Mrs. Talyan will do it, and even Polina will do it. The conservative-minded George

Anna couldn't accept this, so she refused to open her greenhouse to them so that they could wear skimpy clothes and paint.

The two women simply occupied the Grand Trianon by themselves, and usually did not go to the greenhouse to play with Georgiana.

During the day, the Paris Agricultural Association will send people to discuss next year's agricultural farming issues.

It is almost certain that there will be no bumper harvest next year. The land that has not been deeply plowed for many years, except for the fertile surface soil, has become crusted underneath. After being plowed by draft horses, the infertile soil has also been turned up. Even if the purpose of deep plowing was originally

It is cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant, but it cannot achieve its purpose.

Although the Netherlands and northern France use advanced farming methods, low temperatures will still cause yield reductions. The Agricultural Association plans to take advantage of the slack time to popularize new farming methods to farmers, but this will incur expenses, estimated to cost 800,000 francs.

Once Napoleonio had a sudden idea and asked Georgiana if there was any plant that could replace hops.

She still wanted to drink beer despite the reduction in food production. Although she was angry, she still told him. Asia has a close relative of hops called Humulus. What beer needs is the bitter taste. Without that bitter taste, the brewed wine will be bad.

Not beer, but wort.

After his reminder, she also began to miss butterbeer.

Since November, she hasn't seen any British people except Dilok for some time.

Sèvres is near the barracks built by Duke Broier. She can use it as an excuse to inspect and see how the British have renovated the barracks.

But she thought it would be better for her to be honest with Napoleoni.

Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are safe.

On December 4th, she felt a real, bone-chilling terror, although she later used an exaggerated acting to achieve what he wanted.

The place where the memorial column was erected was actually not far from the location of the Portuguese Revolution. At that time, Napoleon was as depressed as Kleber.

Napoleon actually didn't like to go to the theater. To use his words, in this city of Babylon, he would only go to such social occasions when he needed others to remember him.

There were too many celebrities in Paris, one after another. Napoleon's achievements in Italy in 1797 were not reported back to the country. This may be intentional by the Directory.

It is easy to understand. Soldiers who work hard abroad will feel that it is worthwhile to sacrifice their lives so much only when they feel valued and respected when they return home.

However, after returning, all social classes ignored them and continued to sing and dance. Even the actresses and celebrities in the opera house looked down upon the soldiers. The consequences were very serious.

Georgiana believed that she could not live up to the standards of Madame Tallian, who could live in prison and live in a normal state of mind, but would William Pitt like her, the "Mother Thermidor"?

If there is no coffee, chicory can be substituted. Maybe its taste is more suitable for you.

Georgiana walked to the typewriter and started typing. With this thing, she didn't need Sophie and Matilda to write for her. She didn't need to change secretaries like the 30-year-old antique. They could help her.

As for delivering letters, Michelle and Phyllis can do their usual chores.

A noble lady like Michelle would definitely bully Phyllis, but Phyllis' relatives were members of the Guards. If Michelle went too far, the Guardsmen who were now treating them well would be ruthless.

Eugenie will be replaced by Josephine, who is more valuable to Napoleon's cause. Pauline, nicknamed "Cleopatra", will also be replaced by Georgiana. Who knows who Georgiana will be replaced by?

For example, the Austrian princess who can give birth to children, or the Polish lady whose motherland is not as difficult to deal with as Britain.

Georgiana had no doubt that Napoleon would kill her so that he could cut off his love and concentrate on dealing with his old enemy, England.

In that case, why not let her go?

"Damn dwarf," she muttered as she broke lines.

Napoleoni had said before that he was insane, but now Georgiana believed him.

She didn't want to be Helen, nor did she want him to be a Trojan prince. Poseidon was originally the patron saint of Troy, but later he felt that the Trojan prince was really unreliable, so he abandoned him and joined the Athenian camp.

The reason why Poitevin's play is so popular is not only the sycophants who support Napoleon, but also the fact that the play was released after Napoleon was assassinated. The French are as passionate about politics as the British are passionate about money.

, they like to talk about topics that are forbidden by the government.

When night falls, Napoleoni will put on his worn-out slippers again and appear in her greenhouse.

He liked bathing very much, but he didn't necessarily have to go to Louis XIV's luxurious bathroom. When they lived in Paris, Poitevin's relatives rebuilt a bathroom for them. After taking a bath, he would take a walk in the greenhouse in his slippers.

He said the place looked like a tropical rainforest.

"Since you want to see him, why don't you go find him?" Carolan said while eating chestnut cake.

"If he doesn't come to me, I won't go to him," Georgiana said angrily.

"You could invite him to lunch," said Carolan. "I'm sure he won't be so busy that he doesn't even have time to walk here from the King's Botanic Gardens."

"Miss..." Sophie appeared at the door happily.

"What?" Georgiana glared at her angrily.

"The master has given you a new potted plant." Sophie said cautiously.

"What a good excuse." Carolan joked, "I can help you deliver the letter."

Georgiana left in a rage.

She also has to prepare lunch, doesn't she? She can eat whatever she wants this time, and France doesn't have a constitutional monarchy!
