Chapter 2050 "You're welcome lady"

When the 24-year-old William Pitt Jr. first became Prime Minister and faced the huge national debt left by the Seven Years' War, he, like many young people, knew nothing about the interests involved.

His initial proposal was to impose a tax on raw materials, especially dyed cotton and linen, where manufacturers would have to obtain new licenses, provide detailed information on raw materials, and have machines confiscated if they defaulted on taxes, etc.

Cotton interests were alarmed by this "ostentatious tax" and called on other industries to provide support. An angry Bolton yelled at the mine owners who supported William Pitt, Jr.: "Let the tax be based on luxury goods, vices, if you

If you like, you can also build it on property instead of taxing the means of acquiring wealth. Don't try to cut open the hen that lays the golden eggs."

When the end comes, children are often the first to be eliminated. Anyone who has seen lions hunting knows that their prey is usually the old, weak, sick and disabled, calves, and zebras must learn to run as soon as they are born, otherwise they will

will be eaten.

Animals that act alone will hide their children, while animals that live in groups will have a certain degree of organization. The young bulls of the herd will drive away the lions and hide the cows and calves in a relatively safe location.

However, orphans who have lost their parents are not included in this list. Even if it is not the end of the world, they will either be sent to factories as "apprentices" by the stewards of the parish orphanage, or they may be "rented" by magicians to assist in "performances". Who knows that day?

When it really comes, what will happen to these children without parental protection?

In the animal world, not all cubs will grow up due to diseases, accidents, etc. The high death rate results in a high birth rate. Whether it is Catholic or Protestant, there are more than a dozen children in the family. Letizia is more capable of giving birth.

, as a result, when it came to Napoleon and his generation, they suddenly failed.

Maria Edgeworth was not married, she was already 33 years old, while Letizia gave birth to Napoleon Bonaparte when she was 16 years old.

If Severus hadn't suddenly "enlightened" one day, Georgiana might not be as good as Maria. At least Maria had a Swiss banker "boyfriend" James Moiliatt who she had been dating for many years.

Under the introduction of Bolton, he settled in Birmingham and gradually came into contact with Maria.

A "civilized person" will consider the woman's feelings and be patient enough to have a "long" relationship with her.

Napoleon would not "go on" with her like this. Now she is a "celebrity" known throughout Europe and even the United States. But most people judge her age based on her appearance. At most, she is

She was only in her 20s, much younger than Napoleon, who was in his 30s. No one would believe that she was "old" enough to be his mother.

The "legendary" British Cleopatra was very coquettish and plump, which completely fit Napoleon's "taste". He liked slim and curvy blondes.

I don’t know what his reaction would be if he saw the imaginary portrait of Georgiana. Anyway, Georgiana would laugh to death. As Maria said, it has nothing to do with the real her, although she in the portrait

Her breasts are far less tall than those of Marianne, the French goddess of liberty, but they are still quite plump.

She was almost certain that if she went out on the street without makeup, she would not be recognized, so this armistice dinner would not be held in the form of a masquerade ball.

The next step was to decide what kind of wine to use at the banquet. Saint-Méry was very reliable in this area. He selected five from more than a dozen wine merchants and let Georgiana decide, mainly champagne. In addition, he also invited some women

Actors came to add to the fun. After all, it took a lot of theater prop masters to paint the tent like a castle, and the owners of these theaters also hoped to have their "stars" attend.

Georgiana refused everyone who came and took many bribes to cover the expenses of the banquet.

She tried to cheer herself up. For most women, shopping is joy, but Georgiana's joy is the magic of food.

It is important for her to maintain an optimistic attitude now. Alchemy comes from the kitchen, and agriculture is actually a kind of alchemy. If the yield per mu can be increased, the total amount of food will still increase. In this way, not only will there be enough

There will be enough grain to make wine, and there will be enough grain to ensure food security.

This requires fertilizer. She remembered that she had met an explorer from Germany when she was in Paris. He showed her the guano mine discovered in Peru. The fertility was indeed pretty good.

Nowadays, manure is mainly used in the periphery of cities. It is difficult to popularize it in rural areas further away. If a rural cooperative is established, it can start by buying fertilizer.

Rotting corpses can also make the land fertile, but she can't accept it.

Stock competition means fighting. If each company wants to develop better, they must rob others. Even if you don't rob yourself, you may be robbed at any time, so why not take advantage first?

Those who take the opportunity to resell at high prices are actually quite good. In the past, Napoleon's supply line was cut off in Egypt. When he was starving outside the city, the defenders in the city accepted supplies shipped by British warships.

This is how a siege works. Even if the defenders can withstand the enemy's artillery fire, they can't resist hunger. Someone will surrender when they are too hungry. During Attila's siege, Geneviève, the patron saint of Paris,

Take some people out to look for food.

Her body was taken out and burned during the French Revolution. In the end, it was the priests who worked hard to protect a few bones.

Regarding the "Crown of Thorns" that Napoleon took her to see last time, many people said that it was a fake and that it was really hidden somewhere else. It might even have been transported to the Vatican.

The newly established French Republic is very unstable, and there are still many people who are unwilling to accept the return of the church. At this time, the real holy relics are taken out. What if the same turmoil occurs again and the holy relics are destroyed?

Georgiana tried to find her happy self again, or rather, not to let his thoughts go to waste.

The kind of "permanent peace" in Europe that St. Pierre hoped for may not be achieved in the 19th century or even the 20th century. Let's see if future generations can achieve this goal in the 21st century or even beyond.

Even if it was a short-lived, false peace, it was peace. Almost every week, Napoleon would bring no more than 10 people to Robert's restaurant for dinner. The person hosting such dinners was not Josephine. Georgiana regarded this banquet as a similar one.

There was a dinner party, and she was the woman hosting the banquet.

Josephine's method of winning over people around Napoleon was to introduce women to them, or to match them up, or to take the initiative to approach women who appeared at dinner parties.

Georgiana's method was to spend money, which was a very "British" style. It wasn't until she was about to appoint the State Counselor of Parma that she discovered how she had been tricked by Napoleon, even though Napoleon seemed to trust her and let her manage Sèvres.

Profit of ceramic factory.

She didn't even know anyone, so how could she arrange for someone to be the State Counselor like Josephine?

Human resources are also a kind of resource, just like a mine waiting to be mined. In addition to "a bad book is equal to a robber", there is also a famous saying in Italy, "not all gold will shine."

She agrees with this. Gold can only reflect light. Only when light shines on it will it emit the same light as gold.

Parma would not arrange for an Englishman to be the counselor of state, but Edgeworth was engaged in politics in Ireland, and he and his second wife were also in France.

Like Bolton, he married his ex-wife's sister. Bolton has been much discussed in the UK. Edgeworth is in Ireland where there is no precedent. Even if he doesn't care about the outside world, the outside world will still comment on him.

What's more, he and his ex-wife still have children. Not every stepmother will poison her stepson, like Snow White's stepmother, and not every stepmother will deny her beautiful clothes or let her participate like Cinderella's stepmother.

A dance held by a prince, but many parents have to consider the feelings of their children when they remarry.

Josephine's ex-husband was indeed a failure. In comparison, Napoleon was much better than him. No wonder both Hortense and Eugène liked this stepfather.

In fact, if Bonaparte wants to win her over and let her do things for him, he does not have to use this method. Not all women will turn their hearts to him after sleeping with a man. Artemisia's "Judith Beheaded"

The Killing of Holofernes is an example.

In her spare time, she also designed a birthday gift for Napoleon. She decided to give him a table on which a map could be placed. There should be a compass on the table so that he could point the map along the direction of the compass.

The direction is set.

When doing these things, she could temporarily forget some things, which made her feel a lot more relaxed. However, she did not dare to try to use the God-calling Guard.

She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to summon the patron saint, which would be a bad thing, because she used to be very good at it.

Why is there no compass to guide the path of life?

Gellert Grindelwald, a prophet and a liar.

Georgiana planned not to tell Napoleon about Cassandra's "prophecy" for the time being, because Erasmus Darwin supported the conversion of cattle pastures into farmland.

This is related to the Corn Laws and many interests. The price of meat is too high and only rich people can afford it.

Wolves also like to eat, but werewolves are too poor and they are ostracized by the magical society. Remus Lupin was so depressed before he returned to school. He looked much older than his peers, the pampered Slytherin headmaster.

They could have had a complete family if he hadn't gone out drinking that night.

Since Napoleon is dead, in the same world as him, is she also dead?

"Where am I?" she said to herself, stroking the compass on the drawing.

Then he looked at the pocket watch that was running backwards.

How can she stay carefree and happy during the "countdown"?

This may be difficult for some people to understand, what it feels like for a person to actually work hard to be happy.

This emotion seems to have been attacked by a dementor and has lost all happiness. It is like a quagmire that will swallow people up. Even if they know they want to try hard to break free, they can't break free. They want to ask for help but don't know how to ask for help.

She ate a piece of chocolate to relieve her mood.

She chose to temporarily forget that this sweet feeling of happiness was related to slavery.

She once said that food can bring happiness.

Perhaps this is what she needs more urgently than happiness at the moment.

"Georgiana!"

She heard someone calling her outside, so she looked out the window and saw someone flying colorful kites, which formed an artificial rainbow in the clear sky.

She looked at the people flying kites on the beach. She didn't know many of them, but they were all waving to her.

"Like it?"

asked Bonaparte at the door.

She turned back and turned her gaze from the "rainbow" to him.

"Did you arrange it?"

"You don't condemn me for abusing my power?"

She looked back and realized that it was indeed a waste of manpower to find so many people to fly kites.

But she ran over and hugged him.

"Am I dreaming?" she asked.

"I thought you should say thank you," he said.

"You expect me to be so polite?" she asked.

He said nothing more, patted her back, then took her hand and left the small farm, and went to the beach to fly a kite with the others.
