Chapter 1953 queen of air&darkness(5)

After sneaking away from the welcome party, they changed into civilian clothes.

There are still many people who dress up and go out to play on Halloween night. Although they are not like the "little wizards" during the day, carrying a jack-o-lantern and asking for candy, they still have to dress up as ghosts and participate in the dance.

They put on crude masks, and under the protection of Figel, Rapp, and four other members of the guard, they walked through the medieval old streets. Her original idea was to go to the old market square to attend the event.

Party dancing.

However, they came to an old house. To be precise, it was the former residence of Corneille. This place was not far from the court, perhaps because Corneille once served as a lawyer for the French Navy stationed in Rouen.

He stayed in that position for 20 years. Because he was not obsessed with power, he spent his spare time writing and creating. Unexpectedly, his spare time made him remembered by the world and attracted the attention of Cardinal Richelieu.

.

This place is currently protected as a museum. However, Bonaparte did not let the members of the guard pick the lock directly. Instead, he went to the administrator to find the key. While waiting, they could only stand at the door and listened.

The sound of music coming from across the square.

"Why are you unhappy?"

He asked as if he knew what he was asking.

Georgiana looked at him coldly.

Corneille is good at writing tragedies. What does extreme joy bring about sorrow? This is her current true portrayal.

"The king should not like comedy, he does not need to have fun." Bonaparte said, "Good tragedy can make us improve. The highest level of tragedy is the school of great men."

"Do you always take girls out on dates to places like this?" she asked.

He may have felt that he couldn't communicate with her, so he simply ignored her and stopped visiting the former residence of his idol.

She stuck out her tongue at him and looked at the dark cloudy sky alone.

There was a period of time in Britain that was called the Railway Age. That was because the railways developed so much during that period that the railway company replaced the canal company and became the leader of the British transportation industry.

If the exported steel products have to compete with foreign steel products and have to lower their prices, then the domestic steel market will be monopolized, which will result in domestic steel prices being higher than those abroad.

It's strange, isn't it? How come it is cheaper to sell to outsiders than to one's own people? Domestic transactions are just left-hand to right-hand transactions, and there is no outflow of coins. Commercial development is inseparable from circulating currency. No matter too much or too little currency, it will cause problems, and

The exported steel is used to make money back home, and the rules of the "market economy" must be applied at this time.

Customers want to buy high-quality and low-price products, which is also one of the driving forces for manufacturers' technological and management reform and progress. However, if the price is reduced to a certain extent, it may not be high-quality and low-price. For example, those "pure cotton" yarns are only

A quarter of cotton is made of cotton. In order to ensure sufficient profits, counterfeiting and adulteration are unavoidable. Cheap goods are not good, but many people have the mentality of being greedy for cheap. In the end, they buy low-quality cheap goods, and they are the ones who suffer the consequences.

.

Otherwise, the price is very cheap at the beginning, and then the price is raised after a monopoly is formed, and you want to buy other companies' products only to find that they are no longer available.

Sweden was once very powerful. During the Thirty Years' War, Gustavus II dominated the north. But by the time the Campo Formio Treaty was signed, they were no longer the Sweden they used to be. They could no longer act as mediators.

It looks like the Spanish Armada of yesteryear.

The occurrence of the South Sea Bubble was directly related to Spain's refusal to allow England to trade in South America. Now it was the British navy's turn to blockade Spain and prevent them from trading with the colonies.

When Napoleon established such a port in Antwerp, he probably also wanted to interfere with trade in the Baltic Sea. If Britain was left with only trade in the Mediterranean and Adriatic Sea, then the Malta issue would have to be raised again.

Since William Pitt valued Trinidad, he felt that it was more economically valuable. Brazil also had rainforests and iron ore and other resources, but the Portuguese would not allow the British and merchant ships to land directly in Brazil.

The Treaty of Methuen allowed Portuguese wine to have lower tariffs than French wine regardless of war or peace. Napoleon's entry tax made wine merchants very dissatisfied. They felt that they were being treated differently. Many smugglers were wine merchants. Of course,

The Bordeaux region was not as welcoming to him as Rouen.

Establish Lisbon as a free port. The free port can reduce unnecessary inspections, paperwork and other red tape, and can also enjoy preferential tariffs and taxes. However, Lisbon is the capital. If the free port is not established in Porto, it will be Lisbon...

The construction of free ports requires tax and technical experts for design and planning. In other words, the nobility will suffer in this area, but the bourgeoisie is good at it.

The value of Portugal, which was once dispensable, has changed. This is a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that it represents opportunities, and the bad thing is that if you stand on the wrong side or use the wrong method, you will cause huge losses. Some people are so obsessed with power because of love.

Play this "board game".

"This happiness is as shiny as glass, but also as fragile as glass." Bonaparte said suddenly.

She followed his gaze and looked over. He seemed to be looking at the glass on the second floor of Corneille's former residence, but she felt that the glass window was quite solid.

"Rome will never be happy without its master," she said.

Bonaparte turned his eyes to her.

She smirked, "Georgina seems to have acted in "Senna"."

He smiled happily now, showing his white teeth. "Did you watch that drama because of her?"

"I find that both Georgina and Mademoiselle Duchenoit have good figures and sweet singing voices." She said coldly, "Compared with beauty, your figure is more important to you, right?"

Rapp coughed and turned around and walked to the side.

"Come here." He smiled and waved to her.

"If I don't go there, the glass is not strong and I'm afraid it will hit me."

He refused to accommodate her, and the two were at odds with each other until the administrator came with the key.

"Good evening...good evening." The administrator looked at the First Consul in fear.

The "Roman master" showed his approachable side at this time. He asked the administrator to open the door for him and apologized for disturbing the administrator's holiday and family reunion.

Georgiana tightened her cloak and stood behind Bonaparte, waiting for the administrator to open the door.

Since Bonaparte had read Shakespeare, she should also read Corneille's reply. Cinnamon was the son of Pompey and loved Emily deeply. Emily was the daughter of Dolanius and she wanted to be her father's daughter.

Desperate for revenge, Senna, who loved Emily, planned a conspiracy against Augustus. All the famous republicans at the time were involved. He went to report to Emily the conspiracy headed by him and Maxim.

progress.

He told her: Everything is ready, and when dawn comes, the dictator will be punished.

Her current emotions are so complicated that the sound of the key and the sound of the lock being opened are both pleasant to the ear, sounding like the shackles being opened.

When the door of Corneille's house was opened, the administrator stepped aside and Bonaparte walked in first. He didn't have the consciousness of giving priority to ladies at all.

Georgiana raised her wand, illuminating the dark room with fluorescent flashes, then stepped over him and walked in first.

The playwright's residence was completely incomparable to the splendid Opera House. The three-story building had only one spiral staircase and the wooden floor was old. Although it tried its best to maintain the appearance of the owner during his lifetime, it lost the breath of life and there were stains on the walls.

A poster from the Young Theater tells the story of celebrities who have acted in Corneille's plays.

She pointed her wand at Bonaparte. He looked at her in a strange way, and she could not tell what he felt.

"Security check." She said pretending to be relaxed, and then started to look around.

There is a stove next to the wall, a table in front of the stove, and a chair behind the table. Its back is facing the stove. I believe that if a fire is lit, the back will be very warm.

She has adapted well to this simple home, and does not think it is simple just because she has lived in the palace. The house where she and Severus lived in seclusion before was worse than it, because it had been unoccupied for many years and needed to be repaired. At least this place

It is still in a habitable state, although it is a museum.

"What did you find out?" Bonaparte said with a teasing smile.

"It's safe." She said briskly, "Do you want to go upstairs?"

He reached out and hugged her.

He said nothing, put his big head on her shoulder, and let her go after a long time.

"Let's go see what books Corneille has in his collection," he said easily.

"Light the candle." She ordered. Just as she was about to use "Nox", she suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings coming from outside the house.

Now she was particularly nervous about the sound. She walked in that direction and found that it was a row of bookcases, and the sound came from behind the bookcases.

She used a left and right separation, and the heavy bookcase moved away by itself, but she did not see the window.

In other words, it used to be a window, but the neighbor's wall blocked it up, forming a closet.

This is inevitable in the city, but the countryside is more spacious, and you don't have to worry about your neighbors blocking your windows. Corneille's father's house is in the countryside.

Bonaparte reached over her and took down the books from the closet, when Figuere came into the room with a lighted candle.

"Is it a banned book?" Georgiana asked.

He didn't answer.

Georgiana looked over and saw that it was a painting, or rather a print, in which the Virgin Mary stood on a pedestal, holding a baby in her arms, and flanked by two saints.

"What is this?" asked Georgiana.

"The Virgin Mary with the harpy pedestal," Bonaparte said, "I saw it in Florence."

She was stunned for a moment.

"I don't quite understand why that painting is not called the Virgin and Child with St. John and Francis."

"Maybe it's because that painting has another name, Our Lady of Harpy." Georgiana said with a straight face, "Do you know what Harpy is? Leon."
