Chapter 2002 "Bullfighting Dance" (6)

Cows are actually color blind, but they still can't help but get irritated when they see the bright red cloth in the matador's hand.

When it rushes towards the bullfighters, the bullfighters will dodge with graceful and thrilling movements, and then get applause from the audience. So much so that there was a superstition that people were not allowed to wear red clothes in front of the bull.

After getting on the carriage, Georgiana looked from the window at the Pomona parked in the port not far away. In fact, it was more comfortable to take a boat for the rest of the way, but she felt that the British Navy would not let Napoleon get what he wanted unless the ship was

Heading to Elba Island.

She was wearing a red silk dress in the morning, the same color as the British Army uniform.

She would not wear a cotton skirt at this time, nor could she dress up like a French lady. She did not wear a cashmere shawl, but wore a fur.

What's more, how would she behave when she met the British Director of Agriculture? She cried and complained that she had been wronged, and she wished she could go to the port with him immediately and take a boat to leave France?

There wasn't even a basic kiss on the hand, Bonaparte pulled out a chair for her.

It's not that she turned into a weirdo, it's that the atmosphere at that time was not friendly and she could speak freely under such huge pressure.

When the patrol team left Le Havre, it was not as grand as when it entered the city, but the main officials and businessmen were all present.

In the 18th century, it was normal for foreigners to interact with each other in the border areas, but the control itself was not enough. The 1786 trade peace treaty benefited the merchants of Brittany, but the business in Paris suffered a devastating blow. She heard that the Paris Chamber of Commerce also

Donated money to buy a battleship with 120 guns, named "Paris Merchant".

Only by attracting more people to join the peace faction can we truly achieve peace. In addition to on-site processing, the port also provides shipping.

There is also the construction industry. After building the sluice chamber, you can also build a fortress. If the mouth of the Seine River is occupied...

Britain was moving closer from mercantilism to free trade, and the Physiocrats school had long been forgotten in the dust of memory.

What they advocate is that land is the only source of wealth, and only agriculture can increase wealth.

The Tories, who were mainly landed aristocrats, certainly liked hearing these words. It is generally believed that Pitt was a Tory, but Pitt called himself an "independent Whig."

The strongest supporters of the Corn Laws were also Tories.

No matter how sumptuous this breakfast is, it is still a pain. Being able to finish it early is a relief for everyone.

As for what she said about "loving each other" and cooperating... Neighbors are not necessarily friendly neighbors. There are also feuds, enemies, creditors, and lovers from different feuding families like Romeo and Juliet died in love in the end.

There was a "fief transfer" in Brittany. The fiefs used to be manors belonging to the lords, as well as collective pastures in the open land system. Then didn't the revolution overthrow the nobles? The prominent figures in the village planned to monopolize those collective pastures.

Before the revolution, France was a feudal autocratic country. The great feudal aristocrats headed by the king and the Catholic Church were large landowners. Dukes, marquis and other great aristocrats were awarded vast territories from the king. In addition to retaining part of the land as their own direct property, France was a feudal autocratic country.

In addition to granting the land, the remaining land was entrusted to several counts.

The earls further enfeoffed part of their territory to several barons, and reserved the remaining part as their direct territory. In this layer-by-layer enfeoffment, each level of entrustment divided its direct territory into multiple small plots and gave them to farmers to cultivate.

.

They could not decide what to plant. Not only did they pay a certain annual income to the lord as land rent, but they also had to pay tithes.

If the year was bad and the temperature was low when the wheat was about to bloom, the lord would follow the farmer and watch him eagerly.

Public pasture can be seen as the inevitable result of the interpersonal relationships between residents in villages and towns. It is another "public place" besides the church. The prominent people in the village occupy it, and everyone can only tie their cattle to their own land.

Already.

Without the nobility, there are other large landowners who advocate the division of public land. Administrative officials pay more attention to production. Generally speaking, only vast fields are suitable for agricultural improvement. If the soil is not improved, unless chemical fertilizers are used, otherwise

Yield per mu is difficult to mention.

When it came to agricultural policy, the National Assembly of the Great Revolution tried to satisfy not the interests of hired workers, but the interests of the peasants. These lands belonged to the peasants themselves, and they did not need to pay land rent or tithe, and there was no forced rotation of crops, because

The idea that forced crop rotation is the new "freedom" is the opposite.

Compared with agricultural technology and laws, joint deliberations and collective actions have brought greater changes to the countryside. In other words, joint deliberations and collaboration are the root of the agricultural revolution.

So when Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor, he said that he was the "Emperor of the French." He was elected by vote, and the peasants also gave him power through voting.

The cooperative system was there, and the peasants and feuding people decided to fight to the end without cooperation and win-win. That was also their choice, and what he had to do was to prevent the king from coming back, unless Louis XVIII planned to step on the corpses of 100,000 people.

The concept of self-cultivation can only reflect whether farmers cultivate their own land, but cannot reflect whether they use the labor of others to cultivate their own land.

Tenants are divided according to the harvest, while tenants are divided according to the rent agreed in advance. In other words, if you work hard, improve the soil, and increase the yield per acre, except for the rent you have agreed with the property owner, the rest of the income will be

It's yours, and this kind of labor enthusiasm is also different.

In other words, in the past, farmers worked for landlords, and farmers were the targets of oppression. Now they work for themselves, and the amount of income depends on one's ability. Maybe you have some secrets, or you can make a fortune by cultivating cattle with particularly good meat, or

Or maybe it's a thoroughbred horse or something. The landowner who rented the land to you is just greedy. He doesn't have the secret to take the land back, and he can't raise the same kind of livestock as you on the same land.

Not only did he want to win over those in France who longed for peace, but he also wanted to win over those in Britain. Otherwise, why else would Napoleon be discussing with the Director of Agriculture the issue of the different tastes of wheat brewing in different producing areas.

He is both an angel of peace and a devil of war. As the Federalist Party to which Adams belonged said, what can promote unity more than a war?

This was Georgiana's understanding of the granite foundation that Napoleon wanted to lay on France. In addition to opposing monarchy and religious power, the Revolution also had "common interests."

There is a conflict between the interests of the majority of people and the best interests of individuals. If the total amount of happiness remains unchanged and the more people share it equally, then the less will be distributed to each person. And if one person monopolizes that

He personally feels happy with the huge amount of happiness, but what do other people who have not received it think?

If you make other people suffer for the sake of one person's happiness, no one will support this kind of thing. In the Middle Ages, kings led armies to conquer the north and south, maybe for the right to inherit the throne, or maybe to become a new Rome.

There are also things like world domination, but what does that have to do with tenant farmers not being able to get wives?

After the War of the Spanish Throne was over, the Bourbons replaced the Habsburgs as the king of Spain. The Spanish king built roads according to the French model. Later, France canceled the privileges due to enlightenment ideas, and Spain also canceled the nobility's grazing privileges.

Napoleon was not a perfect man. He designated Rambouillet as his own territory and he was unwilling to share it with others.

On that land he could try growing beets, open a sugar factory, promote what he wanted to do, and others would cooperate. Georgiana even worked at the local dairy, but not like Marie Antoinette.

Not a milkmaid, but an accountant.

The youngest accountant in the office was about the same age as Napoleon, also in his thirties, and much taller, but his appearance on the horse was definitely different from Bonaparte.

Under the Normandy sunshine, they continued to move along the seaside road, and she seemed to see warships on the sea where the fog still lingered.

Do they dare to fire?

Maybe you dare, but with the current range of cannons, by the time the warship gets close enough, the people on the shore will have long since disappeared, and it will also give the other side an excuse to declare war.

She looked at the ships and began to think about how they could go to Belgium on the Pomona.

That was definitely a new experience for Bonaparte. After all, she was the "British Lady". If she didn't give him some benefits that others couldn't give him, he might not love her as the "Princess Medea", but the real one.

The Habsburg princess.
