Chapter 1421 Catastrophe and Gradual Change

There is always a kind of person in this world who is good at invention and creation but not good at marketing. For this reason, they have to find people like Stanley to help sell the products they develop. Georgiana's fellow countryman, Andrew, a mechanic at the Houston Mill in Scotland.

Mikel is one of them.

The threshing machine he designed used four horses and four men to thresh eight quarter tons of oats per hour. His machine used a beating mode instead of rubbing the millet. This kind of machine could not only use animal power, but also

It can use water power. Unfortunately, George Washington only bought one and did not introduce it to the United States in batches, nor did it make Mikel rich.

When the opportunity falls on me, it feels like a dream, not real at all.

However, even a genius needs someone who appreciates him to truly show his gifted side.

For Georgiana, it was easy to recommend that lighthouse. The Alexandria Lighthouse in Egypt was not only built high, but also very large in order to light a big enough fire to illuminate the passing ships at night. At that time,

Before people thought about the refraction of light and lenses, Napoleon liked this "oriental" and "ancient" thing.

What bothered her was whether the young man would actually use it for invention research after receiving the financial aid, but would instead squander the money she gave him.

There were more than 50,000 gems in Napoleon's private treasury. Georgiana had seen it and the gems stacked together looked like a pile of glass beads. She thought it was a good deal to exchange one gem for one person.

But people change. In the past, the diva star was out of reach in the eyes of the poor Corsican artillery lieutenant. Later, he became the commander-in-chief of Italy and found that he could easily get Grassini's "" with a few gems.

"Love", did he realize that he could no longer fit into the dress he had made to measure in 1797?

No matter how many touching love words and poems there are, nothing can move Georgiana as much as his true feelings, although it is not herself who makes him feel true feelings, but Josephine, the woman who was once very kind to him but also hurt him deeply.

At Hogwarts, if you ask for help you will always be answered.

But this is not Hogwarts. Although Argon applied for a patent for the lighthouse light, he did not profit from it. Especially the Americans, who used his design without paying the fee.

Compared with grain, cotton has a higher value. According to Stanley, the sales of cotton gin are much better than that of threshing machine, and its impact on the economy and society is much greater. However, Mr. Whitney, the inventor who applied for the patent,

Nor did he receive any money, and he became bankrupt in 1797.

Many scholars are not good at making money. In Jean-Jacques Rousseau's time, there were still music scores that could be copied. Now that there are music score printing machines, it is even more difficult for poor students to survive, but it is often these people who change the world.

Napoleon was also so embarrassed that he could hardly afford to pay for tickets to the opera house. It was a social occasion. After the promulgation of "The Origin of Human Inequality", the upper class used to cancel Rousseau's free admission privileges and kicked him out of the social circle, thinking that he would be kicked out of the social circle.

If you drive it out of your sight, the world will be pure.

Condorcet was also an outstanding figure in the Enlightenment. He advocated equality and was a relatively moderate Girondin. Such outstanding figures also died in the Jacobin reign of terror.

These were troubled times, and Madame Du Barry thought that shouting "Wait a minute" would prevent the guillotine from falling. Madame Du Barry had also funded some artists, but they did not receive the support from Teresa like Tallian.

After the note, he immediately launched a coup to save her life. Therefore, Georgiana had to be more cautious when investing in talents. Maybe these "roosters and dog thieves" she raised would help her at a critical moment.

What she did just now was a little rash, but she didn't think it mattered. Her money was in the Bonaparte Bank, with a special accountant in charge, and she could withdraw it by check. She still had more than 2 million francs, and Fresnel was alone.

How much can a person use? Besides, if he uses too much, the bank accountant will contact her or Napoliani.

After what happened just now, she also remembered that the preparations for the Second French Industrial Exhibition should also start, and she wanted to find something that she could use to participate in the exhibition.

After the civil war, France was devastated. The north was better off, but the south didn't even have a threshing machine. This time it was too late to use a physical threshing machine for agricultural promotion. Fortunately, Stanley brought models and drawings, and Georgiana asked the students of the Polytechnic College to immediately

To carry out imitation, farmers must first understand that such a thing exists, and then they can discuss whether to use it or not.

In addition to the threshing machine, Stanley also brought a model of a winnowing machine. For thousands of years, humans have relied entirely on the wind to separate grain and chaff. It is also mentioned in the Bible that Scottish farmer Andrew Roger came up with this

equipment.

However, some religious people believe that wind is the power of God, and it is a sin for humans to use wind. France has never heard of farmers needing priests to spread holy water before planting potatoes. What about using winnowing machines?

As a result, a student from the countryside told her that he had seen a winnowing machine, but it was not produced by Andrew Roger of Scotland, but was promoted by the Jesuits. The Jesuits were still there, and they wanted to go back to Louis X

By the age of 5, that winnowing machine had long become an "antique".

Stanley was about to put away the winnowing machine when Georgiana immediately asked others if they had seen this machine. Most people said no, so she asked Stanley to put the model back on the table.

.

In the technical school, she found the feeling of being the dean again. More importantly, there were no education orders to restrain her, and she finally no longer had to endure them.

After "enslaving" these students, Georgiana took them to Mrs. Tallian's "hotel" for a delicious meal, and they were bribed by her so easily.

They had classes in the afternoon, so Georgiana let them go back to school. Brognier's next plan was to go to the Paris Botanical Garden, and this time Madame Tallien was going to go with her.

Brognier's friend once worked at the Paris Botanical Garden, and his former colleagues told him that a new batch of roses had arrived from the Netherlands.

Georgiana was originally not interested in roses, but Broniard's mention of the names of two roses made her look forward to the visit.

These two kinds of roses are called La Belle Sultane and Cecilia.

"The Beautiful Princess of the Sudan" also has a name, called Maheka, which happens to be the same name as Josephine's cousin. Legend has it that she was captured by pirates on her way back to her hometown of Martinique in the Caribbean from France, where she studied in France, and then she was captured by pirates.

She became a Turkish princess.

This kind of rose is a very bright red with yellow stamens. It is as graceful and luxurious as the Sultan Princess. Another kind of rose, Cecilia, has a pink center and the edges of the flower gradually turn white. It belongs to the Damascus rose system. They are both

Introduced by French horticulturist Sayles.

"What secret do you know?" Teresa said in Georgiana's ear while Brognier was communicating with the staff of the Botanical Garden.

Georgiana thought for a moment, finally said "bastard" with a smile, and then stopped talking.

"Tell me about it." Teresa asked, grabbing Georgiana's arm.

"Do you think Turkish pirate ships will go to the Caribbean?" Georgiana asked.

Mrs. Tallian, like most women, knew zero knowledge of geography. She was thinking blankly, God knows if her little head was really thinking.

"Hahaha, why do you think it's impossible?"

They heard a man laughing loudly, so they turned around and looked over, and found a handsome-looking man with charming eyes and a particularly gentle look.

"Who are you?" Georgiana asked the daredevil.

"Guess it……"

"Cuvier!" Before he could finish his bold words, Brognier shouted, "You're finally here!"

Brognier came over in a hurry, "This is my friend, George Cuvier, he is an emeritus professor at the Paris Botanical Garden."

"Do you still like the roses the First Consul gave you last time?" Cuvier looked at Georgiana and said.

"What's the name of that rose?" Georgiana asked.

"Cloriss is derived from the name of the goddess of spring in Botticelli's works." Cuvey said with a smile, "The roses of that variety were originally pink, but on the day the First Consul came to visit, a white one bloomed.

"

"He just picked it?" Georgiana said with some regret, maybe that flower could be cultivated into a new variety.

"Do you like it?" Cuvier asked.

She didn't answer.

"Poor God of the West Wind." Cuvier said with pity, "He gave Cloris his heart, what will she give him in return?"
