Chapter 1992 The Eagle and the Dove Ten

 Chapter 1994 Kind Manager (Part 2)

Honfleur is not far from Le Havre, you can get there by taking a small boat.

Unlike Le Havre, which is full of Italian style on the opposite coast, Honfleur has many wooden buildings, which are somewhat similar to Rouen. It seems that this is the style of Normandy.

The small town is very quiet, and there are seagulls flying.

There was a red house next to the port, which was where the ministers sent by Louis XIV lived. Lederer pointed it out to Georgiana.

This place is also the starting point for the discoverers of Quebec. On September 22, the eighth year of the Republic, Bonaparte presided over a ceremony to commemorate Desaix and Kleber in Victory Square. The ceremony was solemn and solemn, with soldiers wearing military uniforms. Victory

The square turned into a sea of ​​flags.

But although the scene was grand, it was also boring. Gala wrote a 107-page speech, which he spent three hours reading from beginning to end, praising those generals who died and a certain general who is still alive and well.

.

He was already about to fall asleep, but when he heard Gala reciting his name and being placed side by side with the dead, he immediately cast a murderous look.

"Nagging!" This is what Bonaparte said to the people around him when he returned to the Tuileries Palace after the meeting.

The speech at Les Invalides the next day was presided over by Lucien himself. They moved the body of Louis XIV's Generalissimo Turenne from the Cathedral of Saint-Denis. It was first buried in the Botanical Garden and later in the Botanical Garden.

Incorporated into the French Heritage Museum.

Lucien was much briefer at the ceremony. He announced the birth of a new great century and congratulated the heroes of today for extending a respectful hand to the heroes of yesterday, allowing France to once again be connected with history.

This is a day when France innovated its system but still continued its great journey.

"This is the theme of tonight." Ludrell said, "It doesn't need a grand banquet, but it needs to be grand enough. Don't you want to see fireworks?"

"Yes." She said dryly.

"Tonight's fireworks will be put off tomorrow morning, and they will be set off at Elephant Trunk Hill Beach." Lederer said, "It's not far from here. Do you want to see it?"

"On the next morning?" Georgiana said in disbelief, "How many fireworks will this cost?"

Lederer laughed, "More than the day when Queen Mary entered Paris. Because I was afraid of an accident, I set the setting point on a beach far away from the crowd."

Georgiana looked at the sky. It couldn't be considered sunny, nor could it be said to be completely cloudy. It probably wouldn't rain.

"The ceremony to celebrate the reconciliation with the United States was scheduled for 10 days after the Generalissimo's funeral. This event was different from the previous ceremonies. Joseph had planned to have a grand event in Montefontaine, with banquets, music, and drama.

and fireworks, he also invited Depreo to be the master of ceremonies. He is a famous dancer and singer. At first, people said that no one could organize the banquet as well as Depreo. When setting the table, people forgot to bring

There were no decorations on the table, so he put the stuffed animals from the attic, the red wine smelled of vinegar, and half of the wine glass. The pyrotechnician who was responsible for setting the stage and setting off the fireworks drank it all. Fortunately, it was raining heavily.

It didn't stop until midnight, when the pyrotechnicians were almost sober and the show finally began, but that meant the guests had to queue in the mud while stern-faced guards inspected the invitation cards in their hands."

"That sounds terrible," Georgiana couldn't help saying.

"Can I ask what the flowers on the invitation you sent us mean?" Ludrell asked.

"I asked the hotel manager that there are gambling equipment left over from the previous casino in the basement..."

Ludrell stopped.

"As long as it's not gambling, it doesn't matter if you make a few small bets." Georgiana explained, "He used to play cards with others a lot."

Ludrell couldn't laugh or cry.

"There will be waiters at the door, and they will tell you based on the other flowers on your chest. Those who are not of a high level will not be able to play with you at the card table," Georgiana said.

"You're almost like Louis XIV's Versailles," Lederer said.

"I know, but there must be some entertainment at the banquet." Georgiana said dryly. Hogwarts held a Yule Ball, and the Ministry of Magic also invited the weird sisters to join in the fun. Only Harry, Ron and their poor dance partners sat at the banquet.

She sat at the table instead of dancing, the children told her later.

Of course there is the old bat, standing there like a black hole, sucking away all the light.

"What about the people who go to play cards and are not interested in playing cards?" Ludrell asked.

"Aren't there fireworks that you can watch?"

"I heard you invited Robert Peel Jr."

Here comes the point.

Georgiana smirked, "What was the arrangement at the reconciliation party with the Americans?"

"They should have taken stomachache medicine before they came. Even the actresses sitting next to them had serious faces." Lederer sighed, "There is also a band that is not very skilled in playing, playing revolutionary songs that they don't like.

"

"That sounds terrible," said Georgiana.

"No, that's not the worst." Lederer shook his head. "When DePreo asked the actors to come on stage, they refused to be used like servants, and he had to sing a song himself."

Georgiana felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

"It was you who made a simple welcome party so grand." Ludrell said. "Who is the master of ceremonies tonight?"

"I haven't thought about it!" Georgiana said honestly.

Ludrell laughed, as if gloating.

"Can you do me this favor?" Georgiana said immediately.

"No one thinks I'm a good master of ceremonies, and of course Diloch. I heard you nicknamed him 'The Englishman'."

"How do you know?" Georgiana said in surprise.

"You have called him that several times unconsciously. I dare say that's what you feel in your heart, right?"

Georgiana was speechless.

"I have a candidate, Mr. Moreau de Saint-Méry, who is also an excellent banquet organizer," Lederer said.

"I thought this was someone else's place," said Georgiana.

"You thought and I thought last time that there was a misunderstanding in the end," Ludrell said.

"Okay." Georgiana looked back at the members of the security guard who were following her, and asked one of them to send a message to Mr. Saint-Merry.

"There's also the empty house just now. Don't you think it's a pity that it remains empty?" Ludrell said.

Georgiana looked back at the red house where the officer appointed by Louis XIV lived.

"I don't think you should say that to me," said Georgiana.

"And Father Dupuy?" said Lederer.

"What's his position?" Georgiana asked.

"The president of the University of Rouen, he may also be the mayor of Rouen." Lederer said, "We can all see that this tour cannot really encourage the development of local industry, but you have given us a new idea.

"

"I'm very worried that doing this will cause enclosure movements or other social conflicts." Georgiana said.

"Martin de Chasillon is also here. He has been with Chaptard and reported what he saw in Normandy." Lederer said, "What do you think of him?"

Georgiana said nothing.

"He is too arrogant." Georgiana said after a moment, "Although he is a compassionate person."

"Chaptard believes that the establishment of artificial pastures and perfect land rotation are the basis of agriculture, and we can now test them in Brittany."

"It sounds like you've made up your mind," Georgiana said.

"The UK has succeeded in expanding the planting of artificial pastures. This is an example worth following, but they are doing it to obtain mutton and wool, while we need milk and dairy products." Lederer said, "You have seen the newly introduced Civil Code.

The terms on it?”

"You can just tell me." Georgiana said provocatively.

"Partners who lease livestock in a partnership share the profits and losses equally. The milk, dung and power generated by the livestock belong to the lessee. The lessor only enjoys half of the rights to the wool and breeding benefits. Any agreement to the contrary shall be

It is invalid, but this does not apply if the lessor is the land owner and the lessee of the herd is the lessee of the land or a farmer who shares the fruits. The lessee must manage people in a good manner and pay attention to protecting the leased herd. This is not only to promote agriculture, but also to protect the leased herd.

We also need to promote the rule of law and it is easier to raise dairy cows." Lederer said, "As for the bovine tuberculosis problem you are worried about, let the veterinarians worry about it."

Georgiana was a little surprised.

"Brittany will become a beautiful place." Lederer said, looking around. "It will be even more beautiful than it is now."

Georgiana wanted to say that vineyards can be beautiful, but she didn't say it.

Don't disturb everyone's mood.

So she and Ludrell continued walking along the medieval stone streets.
