Chapter 1973 Working behind closed doors (7)

Iftoux is a city downstream of Rouen's textile industry. In other words, it is a large factory that provides silk strands to Rouen.

The kind of spinning wheel in the museum twists loose wool and cotton into one strand, that is, spinning thread. The Jenny Spinning Machine can spin out several cotton threads at a time, but each cotton thread is a single strand, and it takes several strands of yarn to spin.

Twist them together to form twisted strands, so that the woven fabric is strong enough.

There are many ways to dye fabrics, including dyeing whole pieces of white cloth in dye, and dyeing strands of yarn. Early in the morning, French senior officials went to visit local factories. In fact, they could live in a more comfortable place yesterday.

In this place, Mrs. Barrillon knows many local wealthy businessmen, and she can arrange for them to stay in their homes at any time.

But as Matilda sourly said over breakfast, it was an honor to live in the Palace of Versailles, even if the small apartment assigned to them had no access to the marble courtyard and no windows.

Georgiana knew very well that she was not a lesbian, but she met Mademoiselle Chamorro in Lyon, who was a well-known homosexual, so there were rumors that Georgiana became a British lesbian spy.

If this is not too much, there is also the scandal between Napoleon and Hortense. At that time, it was so popular that Georgiana almost believed it.

Louis was not in good health. He was a very gentle man, but he also participated in the Portuguese War with Leclerc. However, he did not go to the front line because he had a slight illness, and he did not know how it turned into a chronic illness. He went to a hot spring to recuperate on the way.

Already.

Napoleon placed all his hopes on Louis, a bit like an old father in the countryside, hoping that his son would study well and have a good future, which would not only change his own destiny, but also make the family proud.

Even if the stepfather and stepdaughter are not related by blood, it would take a lot of shame to marry a mother and daughter like the Marquis de Sade did. In the 21st century, if this kind of scandal is proven to be true, the stepfather will go to jail.

.

In order to maintain her marriage, Josephine sold her daughter's marriage, just like Rose's mother in Titanic, who married her daughter to an American steel tycoon.

Sometimes she can be annoying to death, but sometimes people think she is still get-together. Who normal woman can tolerate Georgiana?

If it were Josephine, would she visit the textile factory?

Georgiana looked at the grassland shrouded in mist. It looked almost the same as England, except for Mr. Darcy walking towards Elizabeth in the morning light.

In Jane Austen's novels, marriage seems to be the perfect end of the story, but in fact it is just the beginning.

The secluded life in the wilderness was so relaxing because there was no Lily around, either in his heart or the people around him.

No one told her that Severus' true love was Lily, and no one agreed that he could continue to be entangled with a married woman, treating James Potter as redundant.

Georgiana returned to the desk and sat down to write a letter. She was still willing to give the girl a chance, after all, her father had paid with his life.

But now it was too late for her to follow Georgiana to Belgium. She might as well go directly to Paris, but whose home would she put her in?

She first thought of Duke Leoncourt, but before she could think about it, someone came.

The person who entered the door was Madame Ballon. Sometimes you have to admit that a banker's wife is indeed very different. Madam Ballon has regarded herself as a housekeeper.

The last time Mrs. Leith was asked to work for her as a secretary, Mrs. Leith only stayed for a few days and then left. Georgiana was just a mistress.

How lasting is a man's love? Of course, marriage contracts and religious weddings are reliable, not to mention that the new civil code stipulates that divorce cannot be performed at will.

"Madame, Monsieur Casimir Pierre Perrier, the owner of the Perrier Bank and Monsieur Farron, would like to see you."

"Let them come in." Georgiana handed the unfinished letter to Mrs. Barrion. "There is a girl, and I want to arrange a suitable place for her."

"I understand." Mrs. Barrion took the letter with a smile, turned and left.

It didn't take long for Matilda to lead the two of them to the chapel that she used as a temporary reception room.

The cloth bought from Rouen decorated this deserted chapel, using solemn colors to restore it to a religious solemnity. This was made by Bertin overnight. They are easy to hang up and take down. This is

It was the inspiration she got from Jin Jinyuan's meeting that even a temporary tent cannot be crude.

In addition, there is only a small table and three chairs in the entire chapel. The entire space is very empty, and footsteps can even echo.

Farron and the young man named Casimir Pierre Perrier bowed to her together, so quietly that you could hear the sound of cloth being rubbed.

"What do you want from me?" Georgiana asked.

"I heard Minister Chaptal say that you plan to promote cooperation between universities and local enterprises." Perrier said, "That's what I have in mind."

"What's the meaning?"

"My family owns a coal mine in Anzan. The coal mine is like a gunpowder factory. If there is a spark, it will explode, so we need special raking equipment to increase production capacity." Perrier explained.

She was stunned for a moment.

"What is rake luck?" she asked.

Perrier spread out the drawings under his arm in front of Georgiana.

She took a look and saw that the rake Perrier mentioned looked a bit like a funnel. She thought that mines only needed trucks to transport ore.

"It is strictly forbidden to use steel wire ropes in this kind of machine to avoid sparks during friction and causing gas explosions," Perrier said.

Georgiana looked at the delicate technique of this drawing and said, "Is this drawn by Luck?"

"He is like some engineers, full of 'unrealistic fantasies'. Do you think the building he designed can be realized?"

Georgiana smiled and said "Have you met him?"

"We want to buy some British equipment," Perrier said.

"You can say that during business negotiations."

"We have many bankers in the country who believe that we should not provide too much money to industry, which will induce us to overproduce, which will lead to dangerous expansion." Perrier said.

Georgiana looked at the young man.

"Too many people, especially the middle class, blindly invest in the cotton textile industry, which will destroy those who have survived in this industry for forty or fifty years."

"What do you suggest?"

"I hear that you intend to establish farms and pastures in Brittany."

"Forget it, it's impossible," said Georgiana.

"Why?" said Perrier.

"Bovine tuberculosis is zoonotic."

"What about sheep tuberculosis? Is it also a zoonosis?" Farron asked.

Georgiana was left speechless by the question.

"You can't raise cattle, but you can raise sheep." Farron said, "Wool can also be spun."

"I remember you had a pet sheep named Shaun. Why is it called that?" Perrier asked.

Because the black-faced Valais sheep looks exactly like Shaun the Sheep.

She smiled and sighed, "Is this your true purpose?"

"Normandy people do not regard the textile industry as a lifelong career, they only regard it as a means to make money and improve their social status." Perrier said, "If you have visited, you will know that the textile industry here is the largest and most important in France.

Lagging."

"You didn't go on the tour with them either," said Georgiana.

"I set off a month earlier than you. Do you want to hear my feelings? I don't feel the passion of the British textile mills here. They think that work is a process that has to be endured. They prefer to work for a period of time.

After a while, they lived a 'vegetable life' and regarded retirement as the dawn of life." Perrier said angrily, "If necessary, they will sell their companies, or even liquidate their companies, and then

They clapped their hands and left. They also made no effort to market their products. There are more and more factories, and the conflicts between employers and employees are also intensifying. You can't just see that the number of factories has increased and think it is prosperous.

."

"What do you suggest?" Georgiana asked.

"Please persuade the first president to impose tariffs on imported steel, even if it is to restore ordinary tariffs, otherwise our loans will be considered toxic and this will affect our credibility," Perrier said.

"Do you still remember? The king had to celebrate Easter with the priests who refused to take the oath on April 18, 1791. Most of the time, the king was kind, but he was tough once that day, and the queen did not dissuade him."

Farron said.

"Are you threatening me?" Georgiana asked.

"I think you can listen to the suggestion." Perrier said, "Not many people can stay awake under the temptation of huge profits. This trade clause is just like what I told you before, it only needs a little spark.

It will explode."

Georgiana suddenly understood why Henry Petty was not panicking.

Just like Americans, if you stop with silence, the solution to the problem will pop out on its own.

"How old are you?" Georgiana asked.

"25 years old."

"Are you married?"

Perrier didn't answer.

"You can also come to Harvard's party, and remember to bring a dance partner." She added, "What do you think of Alice, who keeps the jewelry for me?"

"I thought she would agree to Lord Petty's invitation," said Perrier.

Steel and coal mines, you are a perfect match.

Georgiana sighed, "Look at me, do you think it's easy?"

"There are also cross-border marriages that are easy and happy." Perrier said, "You just chose a difficult path."

In other words, I chose a difficult person.

Georgiana thought helplessly that this was really Hathor's curse.

"You go down first," said Georgiana.

Perrier bowed, turned and left.

"You are the banker I found for you, what do you think?" Faron asked after Perrier left.

"I want to talk about the party now." She said gloomily, "Tell me how it was done in the palace before?"
