Chapter 1439 Cooling Flames

 Chapter 1440 Mental Compensation

Although Georgiana hated Talleyrand, he was right when he said that the old aristocracy remembered everything but learned nothing.

They have little sense of the rule of law and have not changed much even after arriving in the United States. Instead, they have led the US president astray.

People's greed is endless. After having a lot, they want more. The purpose of the law is to remind greedy people that they cannot do this, instead of thinking that the law is an obstacle that hinders them. In order to cooperate with themselves,

Desire changes it over and over again.

In the past, in order to reform the tax system, Louis XV expelled all the judges of the Paris High Court and asked Maupp to carry out reforms. This was an infringement of administrative power on judicial power. If the changes were good, there would be nothing to say, but if the changes were not good,

, then public dissatisfaction would boil. After the death of Louis XV, Louis XVI vented public anger by killing Maupe, thinking that doing so would gain the love of the people.

Even after acquiring almost half of the land in the United States today, Jefferson still felt unhappy. This was because Dupont used land as bait, causing him to violate the U.S. Constitution. Americans in the early days of the founding of the country were indeed very idealistic. No wonder they were listening.

Said Directory diplomat turned around and left when he asked for a bribe.

Georgiana's division of the dictator's power into wartime and peacetime was her own understanding before. At that time, she had not read Sieyès's useless constitution.

This constitution was also a gift given to her by Julian Houvral. No matter what his purpose was, she saw that Napoleon was not the kind of person who coveted comfort and pleasure. He hoped that his talents could play a role in the government.

This is much better than those old aristocrats who spent money like water in Paris after selling off family properties or squeezing the wealth of their subjects.

Josephine was older than Napoleon, but she was still younger than "old women" like Georgiana. She still retained many of the habits of the old aristocracy, and her squandering was a small problem in comparison.

Bonaparte's previous job was to integrate various factions, but now his attention has been shifted to the domestic prosperity and political organization of the republic. The previously privileged nobles and monks have entered the government. Louis XVI sold many noble titles.

To distinguish these fake aristocrats from the real hereditary aristocrats, he used hunting rituals to distinguish them. Even if the people were revolutionizing, the aristocracy would still surround them closely, and loyalty was the creed of chivalry.

Privilege cannot be completely eliminated, but it cannot form a privileged class. It can become a means of domination. In addition to representing Lily, the white lily is also a symbol of the Bourbon royal family. Now she feels bored when she sees this plant and is transporting it in the warehouse.

When the silk came, she selected all the silk dyed with this pattern, and planned to give it to Bertolt to bleach and dye it again.

Lilies looked beautiful, but they were actually poisonous, especially to cats. Later she told Phyllis that lilies were not allowed to appear on any occasion where she appeared.

On March 25, the Treaty of Amiens was finally signed. Everyone celebrated in the city, but Georgiana did not go, even though it was the peace she had longed for.

There was still a coup on March 18, but this coup was in line with the constitution. Cambaceres used a Senate decree to purge the House of Commons and remove the so-called "empty theorist" Benjamin Gong.

The positions of Stan, Chénier, Dornu and others, Lucien Bonaparte replaced the members of the tribune, and Carnot stayed. Generally speaking, the parliament that Napoleon hoped to pass the political and religious agreement has been formed.

The next targets are the Legislative Yuan and the army.

Spain ceded Louisiana to France through the Treaty of San Ildefonso. After France and Austria signed the Peace of Luneville, France ceded Habsburg Tuscany to the Bourbon family of Parma.

Don Luis, the duke's heir and son-in-law of King Carlos IV of Spain, gave Louisiana in return to France. Since it was a secret agreement, not many people knew about it, but the Americans and Dupont in the United States knew about it. What else is this?

"Secret Appointment".

The credit rating is not how honest the person is, but his ability to repay debts. In 1799, the British planned to invade the Netherlands, but gave up due to lack of troops. The French occupied the place and drove away the Duke of Orange. After that, the Netherlands became

In a sense, the Netherlands and France are very similar. If the negotiations in Berlin do not go well, then when Louisiana is inevitably sold in the future, the Bourbon royal family will get a share like the Duke of Orange.

A compensation. Unlike nobles, bandits who make a living from rebellion will not work without gold coins. After the Great Revolution, many of the old systems were abolished, including the fact that hereditary territories were sold to civilians, who had to pay extra.

There is no such law in the United Kingdom, and even less so in the United States, even though Louisiana is named after "Louis".

The stubbornness of aristocrats is sometimes really unbearable, and Georgiana is one of the victims.

She could feel that the republicans were gradually declining and the monarchy was recovering. However, with the outside world still pursuing and intercepting them, if they continued to be scattered, they would be defeated sooner or later. She could only retain a few key republican figures to let them

They understand that the "wartime situation" has not been lifted, even if it seems that peace has arrived.

After the peace treaty was signed, neither Britain nor France abided by the provisions of the peace treaty, and the withdrawal of troops was purely a verbal promise on paper.

French soldiers are one of the few European armies that can fight on an empty stomach. They had nothing when they crossed the Alps.

But after they had money, they squandered it. When they were in Austria, a soldier rented a carriage. He asked the emperor how much it cost to rent a carriage. The coachman said 3 francs, and then the soldier gave the coachman 6 francs, saying that he was teaching the emperor a lesson.

, remember to tell the emperor when he passes by in the future.

After all, men still have fantasies about pure princesses. They are not only of noble birth, but also like the virgin land of the United States, they do not have so much history and past, and it is relatively easy to deal with them.

During the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress did not have the power to tax, so it had to issue banknotes first and allow them to be recycled by the government in the future. This kind of banknotes gradually depreciated in value like French paper notes, and by the end of the war it had become waste paper.

Neither land nor credit is as reliable as real gold and silver. The gold and silver in each gold and silver coin may have been mined thousands of years ago, and after many smelting and recastings, it became what it is now.

Europe is like a rich widow. She will subconsciously compare her current partner with her predecessor. In fact, she brought this to herself. She sent him the wrong message, thinking that she would really be like the sultan's harem.

The other women came to their palaces and fought openly and secretly with Josephine for him.

Isn't he tired of traveling back and forth between Malmaison and Saint-Luc? No matter how much Severus thought about Lily, he at least made no mistakes in this regard. She just hoped that she would not regret it because of her soft-heartedness today.

"Ma'am." Michelle walked over in a hurry, her footsteps echoing in the warehouse.

"What's wrong?" Georgiana asked.

Michelle handed over a newspaper.

The title is as always: Respected by the whole world, the hero of France, he is the god of war, he is the angel of peace.

"Pacifier" is a new title after "Little Corps Commander" and "Regislayer". Unfortunately, the Peace of Amiens is only an armistice, and even a profitable peace will not last long.

She opened the newspaper completely, and a scene more horrifying than the title appeared. This color print showed a female version of Napoleon's bust with a bay leaf.

"I'm sorry for making you angry. I'm so angry that I don't have any resentment left. I hope you don't have any resentment towards me anymore."

Beneath the color engraving is the handwriting of Monsignor Bonaparte.

"Why do men like women's clothing?" Georgiana muttered dissatisfied. The Prince of Wales also wore women's clothing in the comics.

"Are you going to write him a reply?" Michelle said, suppressing a smile.

Georgiana was not going to pay attention, but she went to find paper and pen.

It would be better for her to be gregarious when everyone is celebrating. He just needs to remember why he seized power. What's more, Michelle also needs his help to deliver the letter. This can be regarded as compensation for her previous actions.
