Chapter 1942 Egret Feather (5)

George Washington freed all his slaves before his death.

Unfortunately, sometimes there is a gap between dreams and reality, and he cannot free all the slaves.

Henry Petty and his colleagues supported the abolition of slavery on the basis of destroying the economy of the United States, especially the South.

The more slaves, the more "collateral". To put it another way, the more houses, especially luxury houses, the more loans you can get from banks. Many people will lose the ability to think after seeing the luxury houses.

Wrong estimation of the value of the property actually requires a lot of money to maintain the luxury property.

Slaves are not like houses in this regard. They can give birth to children, and the children born are still slaves, and old and weak slaves will die. The slave owner does not need to pay to "maintain" them, as long as it is not a severe infectious disease.

If they were allowed to die, they could buy new slaves and obtain more loans.

This topic is very heavy, and Georgiana doesn’t want to talk about it in this atmosphere. The clever servant not only brought back the flute, but also called over the band practicing at the Rouen Art Museum. In the soothing music, Georgiana and

Archbishop Sebastian and Mr. Martin sat drinking tea together on chairs by a stained glass window.

The second consul, Sebastian, was famous for his tactful methods, and his brother was similar to him.

The appointment of Leon Coure, a liberal aristocrat from Lafayette, as a high-ranking official in the Rhône was not entirely due to his having served as Georgiana's guardian. He was a person who could clearly distinguish the situation. Anyway, he could correctly distinguish between riots and revolutions.

But Leoncourt's performance in Rennes was a bit unsatisfactory. Fortunately, although he was a liberal aristocrat, he knew how to "serve" just like the aristocrats of the old system.

Bonaparte was not a perfect man. He also had his character weaknesses. He ordered the reconstruction of the royal gardens that were damaged during the Revolution. Many of these gardens were in Paris. In addition, there were churches. Anyway, Bonaparte

He would do whatever Ba told him to do. He was not as fond of "questioning" as the Republicans or the third president, Le Brun.

Compared to the interior, Rouen's churches did not suffer much damage, but the archbishop still received funding.

The archbishop was not very interested in this. He talked more about other issues in Rouen.

The UK is currently the world's largest industrial country. Its coal output is eight times that of Germany and 10 times that of France. Its steel output is almost the total output of other countries in the world and 10 times that of Germany.

Germany and now Switzerland mainly export cheap labor. France's textile industry is still mainly labor-intensive, which means that there are many Protestants in Rouen. In addition, since the signing of the Amiens Peace Treaty, many bankers directly or indirectly

They are engaged in shipping-related industries, such as shipyards, etc., but overseas trade is not as prosperous as they thought. This has also caused the price of securities to fall. In March, securities with 5% interest were still worth 65% of the face value, and fell in May.

to 47%, which has also indirectly affected the livelihood of some families.

The number of people coming to church to pray has increased, many of whom are Protestant and Catholic families. Of course, this does not mean that Catholic families will not have family conflicts due to reduced income.

The transportation order of 2 million quintals of grain gave a small boost to the sluggish shipping industry, and at the same time brought the price of securities back to the level of issuance, but it is hard to say whether there will be such a thing next year.

There are quite a few French people who do not like to engage in industry. They prefer to engage in finance. In fact, the steam engine was first invented by the French in 1769. Its inventor was an army technical officer. In 1776, Watt demonstrated the steam engine to the world.

working status.

In fact, while Napoleon raised tariffs to protect local industries, he also provided various assistance to the country's industry and commerce, such as appropriating subsidies, issuing subsidies, rewarding the use of machinery, etc., and also established a national industrial award society.

Seizing foreign markets with the British is tantamount to pulling out a tooth from a tiger's mouth. Opening up closed rural areas and allowing self-sufficient farmers to start consuming industrial products is also a way to promote the economy. However, Catholic priests cannot drive horse-drawn carriages like American priests.

Let's preach and sell things at the same time.

A new problem has arisen. Merchants will not drive large carriages to areas that are blocked or infested with bandits. They are not missionaries and will not go to unprofitable places. The Spaniards have also encountered similar situations before.

The king and his advisers hoped to create ideal communities in the empty countryside. As part of a road strategy, they built a road along the wilds of Seville. However, their newly built road

It not only attracts tourists, but also attracts robbers. This is the case in Sierra Morena and west of Córdoba.

This workhouse first took in women and children because they were "harmless". Male refugees were dangerous from a certain perspective. How to deal with them was a problem.

The British approach was to send them to colonize, such as Australia. In theory, shipping ships could also send them to French colonies. However, Catholicism hopes that sinners will repent, and Bishop Cambaceres hopes more.

Provide support in this area.

Georgiana told the bishop her plan to expand the cider factory and increase the pastoral area, but he pursed his lips and did not respond immediately.

The climate in Brittany is close to that of the UK, and the wine production is not high. However, the apple trees do not need water and soil, and the climate is also suitable...

In addition, growing apples requires a lot of money. Even if apples are a high-yielding fruit tree that is highly adaptable to soil and can be cultivated in thin hills, riverbanks, and even mildly saline areas, it still requires the guidance of technical personnel to survive.

rate can be improved.

Those who sell saplings don't care if you buy them back and plant them alive or not. It's still a loss-making business. You can still see a ship when building a ship, but the dead saplings can only be used as firewood.

In grazing, we must first improve the discrimination problem between farmers and herdsmen. No one will want to engage in an industry that is discriminated against. In short, whatever plan you think is correct and feasible will cause a lot of problems when it is actually implemented.

She asked Philyl to organize and record all the topics they just talked about, and then find time to think about it later, and then continued to visit the "Garden".

Rouen also has a botanical garden, but it is on the left bank of the Seine, a bit far from the art gallery. From the shelter, you can walk to the old market square, where there are many shops selling fresh products.

These teas, cloths, and plants are all from Southeast Asia. It is self-evident what the people of Rouen want.

The Suez Canal can be repaired, but only if Britain abandons its West African layout. This is another form of pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.

She pretended not to understand, and discussed the medicinal and economic value of those flowers with Farron, and then she discovered vetiver.

This is a tropical plant native to India and Southeast Asia. It has strong adaptability, is cold-resistant and barren-resistant, has a well-developed root system, and grows quickly. It can not only be used as pasture, but its roots can also be used to make spices.

Unfortunately it is a tropical plant and cannot be widely grown in Brittany.

Just as they stopped to discuss in front of a Phalaenopsis, a soldier appeared at the door.

Georgiana recognized him; he was the foolish messenger who was a good horseman.

When he appeared, everyone looked at her, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over.

"Madam, this is a letter from the First Consul to you," the fool said loudly.

She didn't have to look back to hear the whispers behind her.

She stared at the fool for a while, then opened the letter, and the scent of madder hit her face:

You shouldn't reply to my letter, because you have taken away all my thoughts,

Please give me a kiss back and print it on the handkerchief like last time. When I see it, I feel like I see you.

Georgiana looked around with alarm. Everyone had turned their eyes elsewhere, as if they were concentrating on their work.

She glared at the letter, wondering whether to tear it up or burn it, but finally called Felicity and asked her to get a printed handkerchief she had just bought.

This is a specialty of Rouen. The ordinary handkerchief is pure white with a white lace border. This floral patterned handkerchief looks like it was used by a grandmother. It has a pink background and a purple flower in each corner.

of little flowers.

The handkerchiefs that could be sold here were of course of good quality, but she was used to seeing better quality handkerchiefs in the palace, so she didn't want to use this kind of handkerchief at all.

She looked back at the women in the room. Although the theme of the dance tonight had been decided, she wanted to change it.

"I want to buy a handkerchief. It should be as translucent as a cicada's wings. Do any of you have one?" Georgiana asked.

"I have."

"I have."

Three female bosses said anxiously.

"Then let's go for a walk." She said with a smile.

"Where is your reply?" asked the idiot messenger.

Georgiana ignored him and left the convent surrounded by people.
