Chapter 1430 Trojan Horse Strategy

After the maids came back from vacation, many things changed.

For example, the former head maid, Sophie, left, and the new head maid, Count Bliss, took her place, but she was not responsible for "service" work, she only served as Georgiana's secretary, and collected novels.

So Georgiana dismantled the bed in the lounge and placed a table and a row of cabinets for Mrs. Bliss. Mrs. Bliss liked the curtains full of Indian style.

The first guest here is Cockbert de Montbre, who will be sent to London as a French business representative after the signing of the Peace of Amiens. With him will be Napoleon's classmate Colonel Loriston.

, they really hope to meet with British business representatives in France.

Georgiana planned to borrow the Sèvres porcelain factory, which was built in a style similar to that of the royal palace. Then she asked Mrs. Bliss to write an invitation letter and asked her to find the gardener of Malmaison. She hoped that he could regularly bring the Queen of Violet to the palace.

Roses are delivered, and some dark purple ribbons are also ordered.

Mrs. Bliss was so meek that she agreed to her request. She did not know how to use a typewriter, but wrote by hand. Nobles from the old times like her often wrote in gorgeous cursive calligraphy, plus roses and purples.

ribbon, an ordinary but gorgeous letter is written.

Under Albus's "rule", Georgiana would only be restrained and frugal. But Napoleon taught her that if rich people don't spend money, then other industries such as furniture, ceramics, high-end fabrics, perfumes, construction, etc.

Workers will have no work to do.

Even the gardener who cultivates roses will be unemployed, and no one will buy the flowers he grows. Is cultivating these roses a hobby?

Tulip bubbles are also caused by a small number of people. However, even if there are no tulips, there are other things that can cause bubbles, such as blue cloth and food.

Georgiana remembered that William Pitt Jr. and his allies repeatedly reminded her that they had given up military protection of Portugal. The best way to reduce costs was to reduce intermediary suppliers. Portugal's Lisbon port could still provide docking for British ships.

Currency is usually made of metal, and iron is also a type of metal. "The Wealth of Nations" mentions a village in Scotland that still uses iron nails as currency.

She didn't know much about the smelting industry in France, but if the British Steel Company wanted to do business in France, it had only two options: transporting goods from Britain to France or building a steel plant in France. Before the Bruges canal was cleared, British merchant ships were needed.

Find another place to park.

The best way is of course to persuade Napoleon to open French ports. This is of course "feasible". After all, land transportation is not as cheap as canal transportation, especially for such heavy goods.

So Georgiana asked Mrs. Bliss to write an invitation letter to Gaston Martin and ask him to come to the party.

In addition, the Marais brothers from the General Administration of Grain were also coming. She thought about who to invite one by one. Mrs. Bliss wrote down the names of those people. Later, she remembered that the director of the Sèvres factory seemed not to be able to hold receptions.

Mrs. Bliss added that she knew how to deal with it. She had attended many receptions held by the court in the past.

Georgiana believed that many people wanted to attend this reception, and those who did not attend would definitely feel it was unfair. Then she thought of the celebrities that Bernadotte dealt with who were willing to buy Sèvres porcelain at high prices. She asked Billy

Mrs. Si asked for the list.

The reception was not held right away, because there was no rush and Mrs. Bliss began to write letters at her desk. At this time, Georgiana fell into deep thought. She felt that she needed to remind Napoleoni that international futures are not controlled by France alone.

Yes, it would be better for him to have less contact with such things as securities, no matter how much he pleases the property owners now.

Lan Zhi built a lot of granaries, and these granaries are waiting to be filled. This will have a certain impact on the futures market, but it cannot have a decisive impact. It is a very complicated game. He is a military genius, but he is not necessarily equally talented in this aspect.

, for example, he lacks talent in learning English.

God knows how difficult it is to make a person who does not succumb to life "accept his fate", but the consequences of failed speculation are obvious. The wife Lucien married is the widow of a speculator.

The battleships of the French Navy are worse than those of the British Navy, but the French Navy is not as good as the British Navy. The human problem is more serious than the equipment.

Many things are obtained for free, and people don't know how to be grateful. Napoleon thought that by building canals and water supply systems, citizens would have free and clean water to drink. This is actually harmful.

There will definitely be people wasting water. People who have never been to the desert or the sea don't know what it feels like to be short of water. She can calculate the unit price very cheaply, but limit the amount of water used. If you use too much water, the total price will go up. If you want to save money, save money.

, use water according to your ability.

She needs to design a water meter. If everyone has the habit of consciously saving water, this thing may not be needed. The question is, is this possible?

Georgiana planned to write the letter herself using the typewriter, but suddenly she remembered that she had no idea who she was writing to, except Mr. Broniard, the director of the factory in Sèvres.

She simply asked Michel to invite him. Michel came back not long after he left. Mr. Brognier brought an equestrian statue of Napoleon to him. Now they are both in the Mars Hall.

The first thing Georgiana thought of was the oil painting David painted for him, riding a white horse across the Alps. He may not have realized that David had made a "joke" on him.

"Let's go," Georgiana said to Michelle, and then said to Mrs. Bilis, "If you need anything, you can talk to Matilda and Phyllis."

"Thank you for your concern." Mrs. Bliss smiled politely, not looking like the kind of royalist who would rebel at all.

If you plan to know the situation in the palace in detail, then arrange more eye spies.

Matilda's inquiring habit allowed her to get to know many people in the court. The etiquette she learned in the aristocratic school came in handy, and she looked like an aristocratic lady again.

Phyllis hated and envied this, and took the time to learn etiquette. On the contrary, Georgiana was still the same as before. Would she learn that damn etiquette? Absolutely!

When Georgiana came to the exhibition hall where the works of art were displayed in the Mars Hall, Napoleon was breaking the legs of the ceramic equestrian sculpture, and the people around him opened their eyes unconsciously.

She heard Josephine say that if Napoleon didn't like something she was wearing, he would stain it with anything he saw, such as ink or coffee, and force her to change it.

.

He was more violent towards Georgiana, and he slashed her men's clothing with a sword.

Napoleon had this attitude towards things he didn't like - destruction.

"General, if the artist who made this sculpture saw his work being treated like this, he would die of grief," Broniard said.

"It can be repaired with just a little mud," Napoleon said coldly.

"As I say, it would be best to smash it." Georgiana said at the door, and everyone in the exhibition hall looked at her. "I prefer the Trojan horse and the horse designed by Leonardo da Vinci to the ceramic horse."

.”

"They are all destroyed," Napoleon said with some joy.

"Are you going to recreate them?" Georgiana said somewhat frivolously.

"It's hard to say, what do you think?" Napoleon asked the officials around him.

No one answered this question.

"The land soaked in blood will become more fertile and produce more ears of wheat in the coming year." Georgiana looked at this sculpture with the same shape as him riding a white horse across the Alps. "How can there be rebirth without destruction."

After she finished speaking, she kicked the sculpture down, and it broke into several pieces on the ground, making a deafening muffled sound.

Napoleon laughed and said to Brognier, "You heard what she said."

"There should be a sculpture at the entrance of the industrial exhibition, how about a moving horse sculpture?" Georgiana added.

"I agree, this is an unparalleled idea." An official immediately applauded.

"agreed, agreed……"

Then came the cheers and applause one after another.

Chaptal said nothing. He watched everything and seemed to disapprove.

"Come with me, Mr. Factory Director, I have something to ask you."

"You're not here to see me?" Napoleonio said in surprise.

She twisted his ancient Greek nose, smiled and left, followed by a shocked Broniar.

When she reached a place where no one was around, Georgiana turned around and asked, "Are you like those people and want to join the Senate?"

Broniard was still confused, as if he had not yet accepted a certain fact.

"If you really have this idea, you should go to the church to receive Holy Communion first instead of making that sculpture."

"Wha...what?" Brognier said in a confused tone.

"Come and have a cup of tea with me." Georgiana patted his back and said kindly, "Or do you want some coffee?"

Michelle looked back at the hall where she was just now, and then trotted to follow.
