Chapter 1445 Letter from afar

When the Black Death began to spread from London, the villagers of the village of Yarm in Derbyshire closed the roads to prevent the deadly plague from extending northward. Therefore, the village of Yarm was later also known as the Land of the Sages.

The one who called on everyone to stay was a priest, and the one who made the decision was all the villagers, most of whom were miners. Since the Middle Ages, the village of Yarm has been an important mineral vein in England, so the English government established the intersection of the transportation arteries linking the north and the south.

The point is located in Yam Village.

Malmesbury is located at the intersection of two small streams in Wiltshire. It has always been a center for knowledgeable people to gather. The moat surrounding Malmesbury is exquisitely and rationally laid out. However, this terrain makes

Malmesbury cannot accommodate a large amount of traffic, which is one of the reasons for the underdevelopment of industry in the area.

The moat was an important defensive measure in the Middle Ages. If the English Channel was a natural moat, then the Atlantic Ocean was a moat sea, cutting off the Americas from the European continent. They could build their ideal new country in the virgin land of North America with peace of mind.

Jefferson did not agree to the acquisition of Louisiana by Congress because of the Constitution, but he did not say that if the American people gave Congress such power to acquire Louisiana, he would not agree to it, and he could buy a piece of land that is almost the same as the current land area of ​​the United States.

Of course, land is very cost-effective, not to mention that Napoleon is so short of money now.

When William Pitt was young, he was as frail as Delmid, so that he could not go to school like ordinary children, so he had to ask the Reverend Edward Wilson to come to his home to teach him.

Maybe the minds of weak children tend to develop towards the dark side. The Earl of Malmesbury brought news about Saint-Domingue to Georgiana. Because he was worried that the French would take the opportunity to occupy Trinidad, the British also sent

Observing the troops, the battle situation can only be described as tragic.

Plantations were burned, massacres and torture prevailed, towns were razed to the ground, and many people were drowned. The French even built a makeshift gas chamber on the ship, suffocated 400 prisoners to death with volcanic sulfur, and then sank the ship.

War can drive people crazy. Georgiana could hardly believe that Leclerc, who had met once and seemed very gentle, would give such a cruel order.

This is a war crime. Even if Delmid can study at home for a certain period of time in the future, he will still hear about it from his classmates when he goes to school. This is not something to be boasted about like "my dad is a firefighter."

She hated war, but Montesquieu wrote in the book that the republic system was the most suitable for colonization. William Pitt was committed to the colonization of Australia, hanging adults who stole 1 pound of goods, and sending children to prison.

When it came to colonizing Australia, the same method did not apply to France. Even adults who went to Saint-Domingue never came back, let alone children.

Even the Swiss members of the Foreign Legion were unwilling to go, and they mutinied before boarding the ship. Perhaps only prisoners could be sent there.

Prisoners in prison also need to eat food, and they have to be watched over by guards. The simple truth is that if food is limited and the population is small, everyone will get more.

According to a tip from anti-smuggling policeman DuBois, Napoleon has banned grain exports since last year. All prisoners involved in grain smuggling were imprisoned. The jailers ignored the constitution's stipulation that they could only hold these prisoners for 10 days and did not punish these prisoners.

trial.

John Milton once wrote in Paradise Lost that the Father, sitting in the temple of heaven, had already made all plans for all things, and he was already aware of this commotion. He said to his beloved son, these

The disobedient, the two armies are against each other, fighting each other, the war is fierce because I let them go, let them be free, you know, they were created equal, but some of them suffered a little damage due to crime, but the damage is not

Obviously, because I delayed their sentences.

She really couldn't give this order and felt that she didn't have the power. She just told Dubois. As for whether he would tell Napoleon, she had no way of knowing.

See, this is the advantage of dying early, Lily's soul will not be as corrupt as Georgiana's.

Napoleon's eating habits were very frugal. He was not a gourmet. He would be very happy eating macaroni. There was no need to hire several meat cutters to cut meat for him. He was just creating jobs. Nobles and rich people were willing to spend money.

Only then can we feed the poor.

She hired 20 townspeople from Sèvres to clean her house and tend her garden. She also hired some chefs from Paris to cook for the soup kitchen. Their wages did not come from the funds allocated by Napoleon.

It's a charity association.

Taking advantage of the fact that the church was busy with Easter Mass, she wanted to seize the opportunity as much as possible.

Creating a large number of jobs requires creativity. The automobile manufacturing industry was originally a very good industry. However, there were no cars in the early 19th century, only horse-drawn carriages. And even if the horse-drawn carriages were ready, it would be useless without horses. The streets of Paris were still so narrow, and the carriages

If there are too many, it will lead to congestion. Bonaparte must plan the city before he can proceed to the next step.

Not all of the 12 districts in Paris are poor. The neighborhoods in need of relief are mainly in the East City, Saint-Germain, near the Bois de Boulogne, along the Seine River, and in the direction of Versailles. They are relatively wealthy, which means that there are fewer people getting jobs through relief.

Already.

Paris is not the whole world. Although the provinces are being swallowed up by Paris, there are still many rural people who currently do not have any relief guarantee.

Gordon Poitevin's friend Gil Gobert printed a pamphlet on how to grow potatoes and took it to the countryside to distribute. Half of the 800,000 yuan was used to buy Irish potatoes and German potatoes, as long as rural people were not picky eaters.

Just eat potatoes to get through this lean year, since Georgiana's meals already include potatoes.

She would not persuade Bonaparte to eat potatoes. Eating meat is now a symbol of wealth and status in France, not to mention that he also collects taxes through meat products. The more taxes the rich pay, the more taxes will be reduced and reduced for the poor.

, of course it is impossible at this stage. Foreign banks are trying to take advantage of the famine in France and the imminent withdrawal of troops from the Netherlands to avoid debt.

Even if Louisiana is not sold, tobacco taxes and mercury mining rights can still be mortgaged. Greed is a passion that never grows old, and it is not yet time to enjoy peace.

Josephine was sometimes confused, and Georgiana was a little worried about whether she was a match for the historical novelist Madame Jeansley. Now Madame Montesquieu has returned to Georgiana, although Napoleon initially gave Madame Montesquieu to her.

He was transferred because he didn't like Montesquieu's "fallacies" and was afraid that Mrs. Montesquieu would influence Georgiana.

The Montesquieu family is also a prominent family in France. It is easy to investigate the Earl of Malmesbury, the mentor of William Pitt Jr.. The Earl of Malmesbury is named George Prettyman, and William Pitt Jr. is 14 years old.

While studying at Pembroke College, Cambridge University, although Pretiman was his tutor, the two quickly became friends. After Pitt became Prime Minister, he became the Bishop of Lincoln and the Bishop of Winchester. Later he resigned from the church.

He was appointed an earl, entered the House of Lords, and became an important supporter of William Pitt Jr. in Congress.

Sieyes also took off his priest's robe and is now a senator of the Republic. But there are some people who will not betray their beliefs no matter how much they are coerced or induced. Not only do many people in the French countryside not speak French, some communes only have a few hundred people.

In these communes, well-educated people usually need to assume the important social function of gathering information and reading out government decrees. Napoleon tried to draw the clergy of the parish into his team of "moral officials" in the political and religious agreement.

.

It's a pity that he didn't succeed. Georgiana wanted to see if the new housekeeper she was interested in could do this.

What is the job of a high-ranking official? Of course it is not like the aristocrat dealt with by the bold Charles IV, who is domineering and bullying men and women. He also has to allocate food and fodder, recruit troops, build various projects, and also deal with the church.

.

It is rare to meet such an enlightened cardinal as Henri Gregoire, and his cousin must be blessing him.

Georgiana was just about to invite Mrs. Montesquieu to go to the cemetery where the trouble had occurred. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Michelle crying alone. Seeing Georgiana and Mrs. Montesquieu, they immediately wiped away their tears.

Done.

"What happened?" asked Madame Montesquieu.

"It's nothing." Michelle said sobly.

Georgiana didn't want to laugh, and now she felt like laughing.

"It's nothing when you say that. It's obviously something. Tell me."

Michelle hesitated and handed a crumpled letter to Georgiana.

"Ms. Agasso and I were classmates before. Mr. Segu's family invested a lot of money in Santo Domingo, just like my family." Michelle said with tears in her eyes, "Now they have nothing."

Georgiana did not go to receive the letter, nor did she hug Michel. Later, Madame Montesquieu took the two of them back to the house.

Georgiana didn't see anyone that day, including Chauffier who came to say goodbye. She didn't even dare to pray to God because it was so sinful.
