Chapter 2278
Chapter 2280 waking moment
King Ludwig II of Bavaria spent his life building Neuschwanstein Castle. She never went to that castle, but went to another palace he built, Linderhof Palace. The vampire Giovanni also played a song
She was so moved by the song from The Phantom of the Opera that she burst into tears.
The advantage of being a girl is that you can cry, as long as you don't cry like "Crying Myrtle". After crying, she felt a lot better. Jane Austen once wrote in her novel that if a woman happens to have a
For example, if she has a bright mind, then she'd better hide her intelligence. People like humorous people, but for intelligent people, the answer is no.
However, women have a "talent" that they can use to their fullest. Whether in myths or poems, people spare no effort to praise women's beauty.
Innate appearance is important, but it also needs to be refined. Just like diamonds, the raw ore that is just mined is not very beautiful. It needs to be carefully designed by a jewelry designer before it can become a work of art.
The Holy Roman Empire was based on agriculture, and the main crop was wheat. The female family education of the Habsburg family was required to be able to run a household. Marie Antoinette would also milk her own cows and do farm work in the fields of the Trianon Palace.
.She could not play the piano, and her dress was not fashionable, so she was laughed at by Madame Du Barry and her female companions.
The purpose of the marriage between Louis XVI and the Austrian princess was to deal with the increasingly powerful Kingdom of Prussia. The ancient Greek philosopher Thucydides once said that because of the growing strength of Athens and the fear that this power caused to Sparta, Perrot
The Pennesian War is unavoidable, and a newly rising power will inevitably challenge the existing powers. Neither France nor Austria alone is an opponent of the Kingdom of Prussia. Queen Maria Theresa must win the war if she wants to take back Silesia. Austria
The Netherlands was not regarded as part of its own territory. It was used as a bargaining chip to lure France to send troops to Prussia. If it won, this land would belong to France. Unfortunately, the war was not won, so this agreement did not take effect.
The feeling of being able to spend money freely is of course different from living a life on a tight budget. You must have a plan first. The Finance Department will not be like the Grand Treasurer and the Ministry of Internal Affairs who can deal with the extravagant whims of the kings.
The last time the Ourcq Canal was built, Bonaparte had a quarrel with the Parliament. They also believed that it was necessary to build a canal to provide clean water for Paris, but that had to be included in next year's budget. But the budget can be cut and moved.
Give less urgent funds to places that urgently need money. Parisians have been drinking dirty water for so many years anyway.
Later, after Georgiana raised the money, a congressman once said: Although your request disrupted our plans, we will do our best.
Once the funds are in place, manpower and material resources have to be allocated. Even if they surrender, they are still angry.
You need to be 40 years old to become a director, but Napoleon became it at the age of 28. Although age does not mean everything, the temper of a 40-year-old is definitely different from that of a 20-year-old boy. Georgiana is almost as old as his mother Letizia
She decided not to get along with the "child", and she estimated that he must have forgotten about it.
Those bankers did not come here just to build Belgium, modernize the country and make people live better. Belgium’s banking system is very different from that of the UK. There are promissory note brokers in the UK. They are enterprises with capital needs and seeking management.
They are intermediaries between banks with idle funds. They use the funds obtained from securities mortgaged by banks to discount promissory notes for small and medium-sized enterprises, assuming the risk of their bankruptcy.
The most important thing is securities. The UK is restricted by the "Bubble Act" and requires parliamentary approval before it can issue stocks to the public.
Although the finances of Antwerp and Amsterdam are prosperous, private banks and merchants are too weak, and they mainly focus on promissory notes and currency exchange businesses. What Belgian industry needs is long-term investment and fixed capital, which is exactly what those promissory note brokers need - you can
Securities used as collateral.
How to issue treasury bonds? Or is it in the name of France? The interest rate of French treasury bonds is so much higher than that of Britain that no one buys it. What's more, Britain and France prohibit the establishment of joint-stock banks. Belgium, as an occupied territory, also naturally prohibits the establishment of joint-stock banks. Correspondingly
In comparison, private railway financing is the fastest. Even if Europe falls into turmoil again, the battlefield may not be in Belgium, but also in Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. This will not affect the income of the Mechelen Railway, not to mention the wine tax.
It is also a kind of income, and there is no investment without any risk.
As for the fact that no one invests in Oostende, it is because no one really wants to go against England. It is the headquarters of the Austrian East India Company, and its opponent is the British East India Company. Legend has it that a drop of blood dropped into the sea will attract
There are sharks several kilometers away, but even sharks don't always come immediately when they smell blood. They still have this instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
Napoleon hated dirt and chaos the most, and now he had both. At least he didn't yell at her, he just lectured her with a "I'm very reasonable" attitude.
You can't interact with children!
She thought to herself, drank a glass of gin in the tavern next to the market, and then returned to the palace.
As soon as I walked into the garden, I discovered the Rambouillet Merino sheep. It was tied next to a tree and was gnawing on the shrubs carefully trimmed by the gardener.
She looked at the sheep, and the sheep looked at her. Not only that, it kept chewing, not to mention how stupid it looked.
She stuck out her tongue at the sheep and returned to the room.
The girls all went out. Although the welcome party was held in the town hall, there was no need to worry about opening the bedrooms because of the large number of people. However, in order to avoid the scene like when Josephine held a banquet in the Tuileries Palace for the first time, there was no reception.
You will not be able to enter without an invitation letter.
Leila is only 16 years old, I hope she won't be scared to tears by those "sharks".
The theme of this banquet is Charlemagne. The city of Herstal, where Charlemagne was born, is located near Liege. Liege used to be a territory of the Holy Roman Empire and is now under the name of France together with Belgium.
The maps of this era are different from those of Georgiana's era. There are no clear national borders. There is an enclave here and an enclave there, looking like a mess of loose sand.
Almost every slightly ambitious ruler wants to make Europe tremble or unify Europe. Anyway, many people celebrate finally getting rid of Austrian rule. The people who have the money to buy Austrian national debt are mainly urban residents, if not Bonaparte
Austria was forced to repay its national debt at par. Those bonds were all worthless paper after Austria lost.
If all these people "come here because of their reputation", then the city hall will definitely not be able to accommodate them. In contrast, she thinks it would be good to hold a welcome party in the castle today, but she is a guest and has seen guests in the place she chose.
, let the host hold a welcome party?
After resting for about ten minutes, she picked up the pen and started writing.
Grégoire was also a priest. He also participated in the Easter ceremony held at Notre Dame in Paris. At that time, the generals stationed abroad were called back and Moreau was still smoking on the balcony of the Tuileries Palace.
Easter is at the vernal equinox in late March, not far from April when sugar beets are planted. In fact, what matters is not the time, but the soil temperature. You can plant them at 5 degrees. You cannot grow sugar beets in permafrost soil, but there are some in Russian cuisine.
One soup uses beets as an ingredient, and she even studied how to make it during the Triwizard Tournament.
It’s good to have someone to help you speak. After all, you can live without tulips, but you can’t live without food. People who let food prices rise to such an extent that they were out of touch with reality were guillotined by the people, and their property was confiscated...
She stopped writing and lay on the table as if dead.
In fact, she had another choice, which was to walk into the cold Seine River instead of walking towards the city. However, she still had some hope that Severus would come back to find her.
How could a woman be willing to be someone else's mistress for the sake of love? Either for money or for other benefits, but she is not that kind of person.
Grégoire asked her not to give up on others, so why can’t she give up on herself?
Anyway, she is not Cleopatra, which means a daughter who makes her father proud.
The world might be a better place without her. Mother Teresa said that we think poverty is hunger, lack of clothes and no house. However, the greatest poverty is not being needed, having no love and not being cared for. She lasted three years.
She had everything, so she was a woman so poor that she had nothing.
It was the same when she came into this world, except for the red clothes, which were changed by Hathor's magic.
This Egyptian god of love could make the world flow into rivers of blood. It was not until the god Ra watered the earth with a sleeping bag made of pomegranates that Hathor transformed into the beautiful god of love again.
Hathor wants Bonaparte's soul, or Pomona just needs to place her "abode" in this world and her mission is accomplished.
"What do you think of this deal?"
She seemed to hear someone asking her this.
But she remained motionless and even her brain stopped thinking.
It seems that the opposite of love is not hatred, but indifference and she did not invent it, so should she be concerned about what will happen if his soul falls into the hands of Hathor?
That was true indifference, and it was worse than a stranger. After all, a stranger would feel compassion for someone and help him up when he saw someone falling to the ground, but she didn't want to move.
The fairy tale only talks about how Undine will punish human beings for breaking their oath and curse them. As long as the betrayer falls into a deep sleep, he will stop breathing, but it does not say what Undine will do if he breaks his oath.
She had clearly said that she would kill his new love and heir just like Medea.
"You don't look like a witch," she heard someone say.
"Caroline?" Georgiana asked.
No one spoke, as if she was hallucinating again.
"Don't talk to me about international confidentiality laws." Carolan added, "You should give him some clues."
"Napoleoni is not an ordinary Muggle." Georgiana said coldly, then sat up straight, and she found a "reason".
"I will use him to remove the accusations of witchcraft from the Muggle code."
"What's the use?" Carolan asked.
"No prohibition means freedom, no authorization means prohibition." She looked at Carolan and said.
"What?"
Georgiana sighed, how could she explain this legal proverb to this witch who had no sense of law.
