Chapter 1940 Egret Feather (3)

Georgiana really didn't know that so many things happened yesterday.

Some men find mistresses purely for the purpose of confiding, and nine out of ten corrupt officials investigated have mistresses. The reason why the old system was overthrown was largely due to official corruption, especially Madame Pompidou and Du

Mrs. Barry's "mistress politics". If someone wants to achieve something, he must rely on the king's mistress instead of through formal channels.

Napoleon was the kind of person who didn't bring things outside home with him. Of course, Georgiana was not his "home" either.

But yesterday he made it clear that duty-free imports of steel are his bottom line, but this is related to the construction industry. What does it have to do with the textile industry?

Bonaparte looked terrible when he was angry. The high-ranking officials in Rouen dared to quarrel with him, tsk tsk.

Merchants hoped to restore the 1789 Franco-British trade treaty, which provided for the gradual reduction of tariffs between the two countries.

Lowering tariffs will allow Rouen merchants to go to Britain to buy yarn more unscrupulously. Slavery reduces the cost of raw materials, and the use of child labor also reduces production costs. The British soil has become very suitable for the textile industry, which means that local

The backward textile industry that develops in rural areas will be eliminated due to loss of orders. Factory owners can make a lot of money, but what will happen to so many unemployed workers?

Customs duties are handed over to the king. The issue of taxation was also raised by Henry Petty yesterday.

If this bottom line cannot be maintained, war will begin. He said twice that peace will not last long, and he must have been able to control his temper. Yesterday, many soldiers attended the welcome meeting at the city hall, including General Suchet, the commander of the Rouen army.

Yes, he is obviously on the side of Napoleon. As long as the First Consul gives the order, he dares to imitate Henry IV's landing in Normandy and land in England. When a war starts, there is no trade treaty. What is needed at that time is a good trade treaty.

The captain and sailors evaded capture by the British Royal Navy who had turned to pirates.

Because of Louis XIV's pardon, the Anti-Cotton Act was not repealed until 1759. Even in 1789, the cotton textile industry was still insignificant in the entire textile industry. There are many poor people in France, so Gebu sells so well and has bright colors.

The cloth can only be worn by the rich. The Great Revolution divided some of the assets of the rich and the church, and also made people in the past richer than before. They no longer had to wear gebu. Georgiana had to transform gebu.

Transformed from ordinary clothing into bandages and feminine hygiene products.

It is no longer pure kudzu, it is mixed with cotton, so that it can absorb enough water. And those who are supposed to sell pure cotton yarn mix hemp into cotton. This is mainly related to the price of cotton. When the price of cotton is very high,

, seven-eighths of cotton cloth is made of linen, and only one-quarter of "pure cotton" yarn is made of cotton, and some varieties are even less than one-quarter.

In France, to be precise, the cotton in Rouen is much thicker than in Manchester. This is the key to success for Rouen merchants.

Fabrics made with good craftsmanship are thin and strong, but ordinary people still think thicker ones are warmer. Ordinary consumers who are not engaged in the textile industry cannot tell whether those brightly colored cloths are pure cotton or blended.

What about producing pure white cotton in Asia and then dyeing it in Europe?

Didn't the East India Company destroy India's textile industry? Moreover, the Atlantic Triangular Slave Trade was also related to the European textile industry, and many blended fabrics were sold to Africa.

This is what a closed circle is. Maybe Georgiana is not as familiar with the textile industry as those bosses, but she also knows some information about the bosses, and that is a state secret. She cannot tell these factory owners what they know.

The liberal aristocrats of Lafayette sacrificed their own interests. Of course, they did not care about their own factories. It was very dangerous to go into the mines without a steam engine to pump water. Otherwise, how could Leon Cour become the mayor of Paris?

.

It is obvious that the noble wants to go back, not only for his wealth, but also for his status...

She thought too much and didn't want to think about it anymore. Last time, the wizard nobles who mixed with the exiles tried to assassinate Napoleon and were annihilated by the wizards who obeyed Napoleon. There was a piece of land in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that was cursed by black magic.

, the nobles were unwilling to build houses there. I heard that holiness could drive away evil, so they built a monastery on top and the French Ministry of Magic below.

A street needs to be opened up to become a wizarding commercial street like Diagon Alley in England. Wizards will be concentrated like the British people who live in converted military camps, and others can do whatever they want.

Just now, Archbishop Cambaceres made a very good suggestion. By using tea instead of wine, she could hold a "milk tea cocktail party". Among so many Southeast Asian plants, she discovered the bean flower. Just as Farron came, she

Let him pick some, squeeze them into juice and mix them into milk tea.

Marie Antoinette didn't want to offend anyone, but in the end she offended the Duke of Lauzun and became her mortal enemy.

Versailles is a place where good people are bullied, even the Austrian princess Marie Antoinette was bullied by Madame Du Barry.

Josephine was a Creole. She had no musical instrument education in her hometown, which was unacceptable in the aristocratic social circle. The young Marie Antoinette also did not know how to play a musical instrument, and Madame Du Barry was a woman.

Mary made a fool of herself at the tea party, so Mary went to learn to play the piano.

She started practicing piano a little late in her teens. The harp was a little simpler and looked very elegant. Josephine learned this under the guidance of her ex-husband.

As for Madame Du Barry, how could she make fun of the Austrian princess if she didn't have the king as her backer.

The experiences or lessons of the past serve as a warning to future generations. Maybe the women in Rouen thought she was arrogant, but wasn't she just an arrogant and rude Englishman?

The monastery is very large, and half of it is allocated to the school of medicine and pharmacy. In the Middle Ages, doctors and barbers were not separated. Now the surgeon has moved to the University of Rouen, and the vacant dormitory has become a shelter.

The other half is allocated to the maritime department of Rouen, and the two are connected in the middle, separated by the church of Sainte-Mardalena, the woman who washed the feet of Jesus in the Bible.

For more than a thousand years, she has been suppressed. Pope Gregory I once said in a sermon that she was an anonymous sinner who washed the feet of Jesus.

"You don't know who I am." She said softly in English while looking at the church steeple in the distance.

"Why do you say that?" the archbishop asked in French.

She looked at the Archbishop.

"I know a monk. His biggest regret in life is that he did not become a cardinal. But I think he would not be as happy as he is now if he wears a red coat."

"I heard that you were once called the woman in red." The archbishop said softly, "Do you think the church across the sea will accept a female clergy in red?"

"You're talking in your sleep again." Georgiana laughed and said, "Leon was still complaining yesterday that you didn't give to Caesar what was due to Caesar."

Bishop Cambaceres thought for a moment and laughed.

"Come on, it's not our business who signs that unfortunate trade treaty. Let's have some fun." Georgiana smelled the aroma of tea and knew that "wine" was coming. "You priests are putting the cart before the horse. If people start a family, they don't feel good about it."

When there is only happiness and only pain and responsibility, who wants to start a family?"

The archbishop opened his mouth, but did not defend himself, and went to "play" with Georgiana.
