Chapter 1493 Princess Rapunzel

 Chapter 1494 “Call of Justice”

Hermione Granger's Gryffindor House Lounge is also in the Tower. Because of her "House Elf Promotion Society", all house elves in Hogwarts are unwilling to serve the Gryffindor House Lounge.

, except Dobby.

After Dobby was liberated, he encountered obstacles in finding a job. Even in the Hogwarts kitchen, the house elves stayed away from him, as if he had some kind of contagious disease.

Only a few people desire freedom, and many people are unwilling to live a comfortable life.

Georgiana retracted her thoughts. The advantage of living in a high tower is that it can not only overlook the distant scenery but also install an astronomical telescope. Fortunately, as a prisoner, she still has this power. There is no future light pollution in Paris, so she can

Observe the stars on a summer night in the city.

If Napoleon was really a tyrant, what she said that day was enough to make her head fall to the ground.

"Madam." Belle said to her in the open space of the tower not far away, "Come and have a cold drink."

Georgiana was exhausted and too lazy to move. It felt like it was summer vacation and all the students had gone home to annoy their parents. She was finally clean, Minerva could take care of her nails, and Livy could continue writing his music.

Severus went about his business as Potions Master, and she could continue to sleep.

This kind of carefree life made her content. She was such a simple person. Why was she so overconfident that she had to imitate Merlin and assist King Arthur?

A fool must be self-aware.

She put down the telescope and walked towards Belle.

Thessaloniki in Macedonia, Greece, is an important smuggling port for sugar produced in British Caribbean plantations. Smugglers used mules to smuggle the sugar across the mountains and then sold it to various parts of France. Belle’s earliest owner was an Arab shipowner.

She discovered her talent for languages ​​when she was very young. She knew Greek, Arabic, French, Italian, Latin, Spanish, English, Maltese, and Berber. After arriving in France, Belle

I am making rapid progress in learning German.

But Belle is very shy and doesn't like to talk much. No matter how Matilda talks to her, they can't chat.

This may be a common characteristic of people who have experienced a lot of hardships. They are not as talkative as those who are optimistic by nature.

Although her housekeeper advised her to resume social activities, Georgiana was withdrawn by nature, and she lived a secluded life in the bustling Paris.

Except for the hairdresser who left, no one else left. I guess it's because it's hard to find jobs now, and there is almost nothing to do when working here, and you still get the salary as usual. Where can you find such a good job?

The Mamluks continued to exercise, and whenever she saw them practicing swords and guns in the yard, Georgiana thought she had returned to the Middle Ages.

Paul I of Russia was assassinated on March 24, and the British fleet was already known to everyone on March 31, but so far it has been uneventful.

The conflict between Rainier and Destein was not just about lack of cooperation at work. Sometimes Destein would reveal his feelings to Belle. Rainier obeyed all orders, including Bonaparte's order to "execute every night".

Thirty Egyptians, mostly Arab shaykhs".

The Sheikh is probably the chief. If a village rebels, the French army will capture the Sheikh first to warn the villagers. Generally speaking, other villagers will not resist. Unless they meet a Sheikh who is very prestigious in the local area.

, Rafassin under his rule, that is, the Egyptian farmers will participate in the resistance. At this time, the situation will escalate rapidly, the fire will destroy all the evidence, and no one will survive.

Kleber thought that Bonaparte left everything behind and returned to France in order to put all these crimes on his head.

The Cairo riots originated from rumors and incitement, and were quickly extinguished with the help of local people. Her housekeeper "betrayed" her and is now not in the castle. Since Gobert has a way to contact Davout, then keep Toussaint Lou

Vidour's life is not hopeless.

Napoleon would not let a young, strong, and charismatic leader stay. The reason why he kept the perpetrator of the Cairo riot was because that man was old and could not ride a horse or wield a sword. He also resisted Napoleon because of his interests.

.Unlike Toussaint Louverture, he was very ambitious. Even though the Jacobins gave him freedom and made him deputy governor, he still drove away the governor and the commissioner.

It is a pity that Leclerc did not participate in Napoleon's Egyptian expedition. At that time, he served in Italy and western France, and was later sent to Lyon. I heard that he was a very strict military officer. At that time, Lyon was surrounded by troops withdrawing from Italy.

He was undisciplined, but later became more combative under his governance.

If there were telephones or communication satellites in this era, Napoleon could have commanded remotely, and there would be no need to do what he does now.

The French set out in December and only arrived in Saint-Domingue on February 2. The British navy was of course much faster than them.

She was drinking sherbet when the sound of horse hooves came from downstairs.

She immediately looked out from the arrow stack in the tower and found that Gobert was coming, as well as Leoncourt's grandson Lance. Georgiana quickly turned around and went downstairs.

As soon as she arrived on the third floor, she met the two of them. After all, Lance was younger and looked a little panicked. Gobert looked calm, but his expression was very serious.

"What happened?"

"The news got out," Gobert said.

"How did it leak?" Georgiana asked.

"The island of Saint-Barthélemy in Guadeloupe was ceded to Sweden by Louis XVI in exchange for the duty-free rights of French merchant ships in Sweden. Swedish merchants heard about Saint-Domingue in Guadeloupe and sent it to Sweden.

Brought back to Europe," Lance said.

Georgiana had nothing to say.

The information about what Napoleon did in Egypt was so well sealed, why couldn't it be done in Saint-Domingue?

"In addition, the Western Corps rebelled, and among them was General Simon, Bernadotte's chief of staff." Lance said, "But because they were discovered in time, all those involved in plotting the rebellion were arrested."

"Didn't the Western Corps disband?"

"Does the presence of the military police in Bernadotte have anything to do with this incident?" Gobert said.

"Where are the Bernadottes?"

"In his own home, with his wife." Gobert said. "Not everyone wants peace, especially neutral countries."

"The First Consul did nothing?" asked Georgiana.

"Those Swedish businessmen are under control, and the cabinet is now discussing, you..."

"I have already said what I want to say. Toussaint Louverture cannot be trusted, but we still have to reach reconciliation with Saint-Domingue. Damn it, why are there so few people with morality and conscience now?" Georgiana said.

Gobert cut off his words and cursed fiercely: "To deal with those hot-headed people, you must use a method to calm them down quickly. Go tell the First Consul to send those Swedes to a place far away from human habitation and isolated from the world."

, no need to waste manpower watching them."

"The good news is that neither the workers nor the farmers thought that there might be a Bourbon royal to replace him." Gobert said, "Although each county set a maximum price in 1793, because no one

Grain was requisitioned, so there was a price but no market, black market trade prevailed, and the method of collecting taxes in kind instead of cash worked, although this method needs to be tested."

"But then, taxation will become a problem." Lance said very coldly, "Bankers are very doubtful about our ability to repay debts. Public debt subscriptions are not active, and agricultural loans..."

"You bully the weak, so you don't have to worry about them fighting back, right?" Georgiana said coldly, "These people have never experienced the Mai commotion."

"The bourgeoisie does not want the old system to be restored. They will lose everything when the nobles come back." Gobert rubbed his nose. "If the First Consul had not lent them money, they would have gone bankrupt long ago."

"You can't blame them for this. They are all businessmen. The shopping mall is like a battlefield. The one who dies in the end is yourself." Georgiana said coldly. "Their biggest problem is actually that they think Napoleon is replaceable. They support

Whoever it is will be the new first president."

"Do you still support a democratic republic?" Gobert asked.

Georgiana said nothing.

"Let's get through this first." She said coldly, "Slaves who dare to take up arms will be given freedom, and other places where slavery exists will gradually relax the conditions. If those slave owners still find this condition unacceptable

, let them go to Guadeloupe and Saint-Domingue to suppress the slave rebellion."

"As for the sale of Belgian state-owned land you mentioned, the opinion of the county governors is to divide the land into small pieces so that local farmers can obtain the land." Gobert said, "They will be very unhappy if it is sold to the Jews.

"

"There are still people selling national debt short." Lance said with a cold face, "These people should be shot."

"This is the behavior of the free market." Georgiana climbed up the stairs tiredly. "This is all for freedom."

Other people are hell, and she must stay away from these people.

Neither Gobert nor Lance stopped her. They watched her disappear and then hurriedly left the tower where she was imprisoned.
