Chapter 1471 "Sea Breeze"

When Georgiana first danced with Bonaparte, she read to him an Egyptian poem:

All my life, I long to be collected, properly placed, and carefully preserved. To prevent me from being surprised, to prevent me from suffering, to prevent me from wandering around, and to prevent me from having no branches to rely on.

But that man, I know, I have always known, he will never come.

A madman doesn't know he is crazy. A headstrong person doesn't know how headstrong he is. He only listens to advice when he wants it. When he makes a mistake, he is overconfident that his approach is fine and refuses to listen to other people's advice to correct it. In the end

Put the responsibility on others.

Stubbornness is another characteristic of the Bonaparte family besides having neat white teeth. In what way does he not look like a living person?

The feeling left behind by his fingertips still lingered on her back. The man who had been dead for 200 years in her era actually appeared in front of her in this way.

Even a dream is crazy!

Sooner or later she will put on a tight vest and be thrown into a lunatic asylum. Who caused this?

She wanted to find some rationality in this crazy world. Paper mill workers would cause trouble if their wages dropped to 15 sous a day, let alone 8 sous a day. But that was the salary of temporary workers. There was no contract or contract guarantee, and women were not like men.

So powerful. Employment opportunities such as tailors and chefs have also been taken away by men, leaving them with few choices. If they have two children to raise, sometimes in order to survive, people have to put aside their dignity and do something they don’t want to do.

things to do.

Not everyone is too proud to accept charity and charity.

The widow who has received the pension spends the money, and other industries will then receive an inflow of funds, and then they will start to operate, and other people's employment will be guaranteed. This idea is very beautiful.

People who are used to being poor will not spend all the money they finally get. They will keep part of the money for emergencies, which will not achieve the goals some congressmen have in mind.

The relief site only has a canteen, and Scotland College has been transformed into a shelter that can provide 100 beds. The premise is that there are no infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, smallpox, malaria, etc. among the people taken in. Otherwise, it will cause mass infection. Georgiana asked the doctor at the military hospital to ask for help.

He sent several doctors to Scotch College to prepare physical examinations for the women who were being taken in. He also wrote to Madame Leoncourt asking her to prepare medicines. When he wanted to deliver the letter, he found that no one could do it for him.

So she hurriedly left the office again, planning to find someone to do it for her, but she met Gil Goebel on the way. He didn't seem to have changed at all, as if the letter had not changed his fate.

She immediately threw the letter to him.

She wanted to leave this place before Josephine sent someone to find her.

Napoleon is a conqueror rather than an outstanding ruler. When he wants to achieve a certain goal, he will have unlimited enthusiasm, but when he wants to maintain something, it will become very bad. He is like a chariot. After driving through the land, it will be

It left two deep ruts on the road, but it disappeared without a trace.

It's not worth her to fight for such a bastard.

"Ma'am!" Gobert yelled.

"What?"

"As for the bread guild, the method used by the Charity Association does not seem to work in other provinces," Gobert said.

"Of course that's impossible." Georgiana waved her hands. "The police in Paris are terrible. The police in other provinces are not as tough as them. If I get a loan with 1% interest, I will resell it and lend it out with 3% interest. The interest cannot be paid."

The Bible says clearly, "If you lend money to a poor person among my people who lives with you, you must not charge us interest like a moneylender."

"Let's go in and talk." Gobert said and wanted to walk to her office.

"Josephine won't stay here long. If you need anything, just go to the living room." She pointed to the letter in Gobert's hand. "Remember to send it for me. It will be delivered today."

As a result, Gobert directly grabbed her arm and returned to the office decorated like a brothel.

"There are two people I want to introduce to you." Gobert said. "One is Thomas Paine. He recently accepted Jefferson's invitation to go to the United States. The other is an American engineer. His name is Robert Fulton. He is in Paris.

Designed a submarine named 'Nautilus'."

"Wow, who are you going to introduce to me?" Georgiana couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Thomas Paine and Robert Fulton," Goebel repeated. "What's the problem?"

"No problem." Georgiana said calmly.

If George Washington hadn't died, she might still be able to meet him.

"Why did you introduce these two people to me?"

"I hope that you can maintain a friendly relationship with Thomas Paine so that your correspondence will not be discovered." Gobert said. "As for Robert Fulton, the First Consul was dissatisfied with his idea of ​​installing steam engines on ships.

I'm very interested in it, but I can't understand how it works underwater. It would be great if his work could be exhibited at an industrial exhibition."

Only then did Georgiana remember that 1802 was almost halfway through, and there were still three months left before the September Industrial Exhibition.

“Who’s handling the industry show stuff?”

"Pierre-Simon Laplace, who was interior minister for six weeks, is now France's director of longitude."

"Why is he in charge?"

"There was a British engineer who invented the chronometer to improve navigation safety, but the British Longitude Committee refused to award him the full bonus of 20,000 pounds. The First Consul was inviting bids to design a hydraulic clock, so he came."

"Wait a minute." Georgiana waved her hands. The amount of information was a bit too much for her to handle. "What?"

"The First Consul wanted to buy the inventor of the chronometer, which seemed to have something to do with astronomy. Laplace knew both astronomy and internal affairs, so the First Consul asked him to handle the hydraulic clock of the central water tower and the industrial exhibition." Gobert.

Explain patiently.

"What about Robert Fulton?" Georgiana asked.

"I checked the information and found that his inspiration came from the Parosvka of the Marquis Giuffroi d'Arbans. It tried sailing in Lyon in 1783, but stopped sailing after 15 minutes. The Marquis is now in

Paris, he hopes you will pay attention."

"You work in the intelligence company now?"

Gobert smiled and said nothing.

"Are you in charge of American affairs?" Georgiana asked again.

"It is much better to deal with smart people than to listen to the drunken words of drunkards." Gobert said indifferently, "I am not responsible for the affairs of any country, I am only responsible for this field."

"He hasn't given up on the Navy yet, has he?" Georgiana sneered.

Gobert was too embarrassed to speak.

The French navy is not a problem of ships at all, but a problem of people. Last time, the fleet that Napoleon sent to Egypt to rescue the expeditionary force all hid in the military port. It is said that they found all the excuses they could find, but Napoleon still forgave them. After all, these ships

Didn't burn up like the Directory's ship.

Napoleon had a blind spot in terms of naval operations. Fortunately, Britain was able to rely on the natural barrier of the English Channel to hold on without fear.

"Do you have anything else to do?" Georgiana asked.

"The First Consul ordered a bust from Canova. He hopes that the sculpture can be completed before March next year. It is said that the profile of the sculpture will be cast on the new franc." Gobert said softly, "You ask.

What else does Lord Henry Petty like?"

If a person has 270,000 acres of land, a mansion as big as Buckingham Palace, countless servants, works of art, a distinguished title, a young and healthy body, and a pretty good appearance, what else does he want?

"Remember my letter," Georgiana said to Gobert, then got up and left the office.
