Chapter 2282 Place of shelter (Part 2)

Wilberforce took a document from his briefcase and placed it in front of Georgiana.

"I heard you don't like beating around the bush, so let me tell you straight. This is a bill to abolish the slave trade, and I am trying to get it passed by Parliament." Wilberforce said easily, "But the current Parliament

There is no discussion about it at all, everyone is focusing on the Factories Act.”

Because you want this bill passed, are you going to support William Pitt the Younger to become Prime Minister again?

Georgiana looked at Irish MP Richard Edgeworth.

"Promoting this meeting does not represent any position of myself or the Irish Parliament." Edgeworth said while maintaining a smile, "But as your guardian, I think you should make more friends."

"Do you want France to pass this bill too?" Georgiana looked at Wilberforce.

"I'm not a salesman, ma'am, I know your difficulties." Wilbur Fursett paused and said, "But I do have a grudge."

"Oh, that's why you gave me that diamond." Georgiana smiled contemptuously.

"No, that's still a Christmas gift for you, but 'Diamond Boy' told me you wouldn't accept it because you are a person of noble character."

Georgiana had goosebumps.

"My unkind request is about Toussaint Louverture. I know he is currently under your protection, but do you know where his family, especially his wife, are currently?"

Georgiana was stunned.

"They... I mean Toussaint Louverture has a wife?"

"People get married, and I don't think it's a surprise," Wilberforce said.

Now Georgiana did not want to argue with him about marriage.

"Her name is Susan, and she is 50 years old." Just when Georgiana hesitated, Wilburs said, "I think you still need a maid here."

"I don't think it's appropriate for the 'Mrs. President' to be my maid." Georgiana said coldly.

"Louverture has admitted all his mistakes to Bonaparte. He does not ask for forgiveness. The only thing he hopes is that his family will be safe. He wrote letters to Bonaparte and you, but there was no news from them, so he found

We asked for help.”

Georgiana was stunned for a moment.

"Wherever the gospel is spread, there are our people. There are also French people who support abolitionism. What I am asking you now is, are you willing to help them? Georgiana."

She slumped on the sofa.

She still remembered the big commotion she caused last time because she gave the documents about Saint-Domingue to Sir Merry. She was almost put under house arrest at that time, and only the Mamluks and a few people, including Matilda, stayed.

Then she was sent to Mont Blanc.

If Lucien hadn't picked her up, she might have stayed there to build the road.

Now West Indies has become a anxious place, and she doesn't know what trap William Pitt has designed, but Toussaint Louverture's wife is not an ordinary person, and she cannot hide in any corner.

"Do you need me to drive them away, ma'am?" Carolan suddenly said in English.

As a French nobleman who had been exiled in England, it was not surprising to Georgiana that Carolan could speak English, but she remembered another thing.

"My residence in Paris has been renovated by Josephine, and I don't plan to continue living in that tower." Georgiana said, "Where should I live?"

Edgeworth and Wilberforce looked at each other.

"You can't just ask me for help. I am also a woman. I am also alone and need help." Georgiana said.

"What help do you want?" Wilberforce asked.

"Help me find a place to live, so that next time no one will come into my house and rummage around while I'm away." She said coldly, "Or take away the people in my house."

"I think this can be done." Edgeworth looked at Wilberforce and said, "How about a Christmas present? Like a manor."

"Do you have anything else to ask for?" Wilberforce asked.

"If I run into trouble, who should I call?" she asked in a panic.

"Britain is always behind you and you can go to the embassy," Wilberforce said.

Neither Georgiana nor Edgeworth spoke. Archbishop Troy believed this. What was the result?

"My door will be open to you." After a while, Wilberforce said, "You can come to Yorkshire."

"And my town," Edgeworth said, "as long as you don't mind it being too desolate."

This was a verbal promise, but Georgiana didn't want them to write any promises. At least their home was more realistic than that illusory place in Aberdeen.

"I need to deal with some problems. It's easier to dream than to practice, gentlemen."

"I'm glad to hear you say that," said Wilberforce. "No wonder Diamond Boy says you can be trusted."

Georgiana sneered. When the Prime Minister himself cannot protect himself, is his promise useful?

Wilberforce's proposal was too exciting, and she didn't seem to miss him. Even though he was a disabled person with limited mobility, Georgiana sent him away because she needed some time to calm down.

It wasn't long before Edgeworth returned and sat down opposite her.

"I guess you are not in the mood to meet the next guest right now." He said calmly.

"Who's next?" Georgiana asked.

"President of the Bank of Petrucci, they have had a monopoly on wool sales in England since the Middle Ages."

"That was a thing from the Middle Ages," Georgiana said coldly.

"Although their bank in Italy went bankrupt in the 14th century because Edward III refused to pay his bills, their bank in Amsterdam had no impact."

Georgiana remembered that she had heard about this bank in Venice, and at that time she was planning to establish a bank in Venice to steal business from the Swiss.

A few stupid boys actually listened to her because they desperately wanted to save Venice.

Monopolizing British wool sales means that the Bank of Petrucci can first lend money to the new British aristocrats, allowing them to lease the land at a higher price, drive away the original tenant farmers, and limit and cancel the use rights of public land.

Enclosing large tracts of land and turning it into private pastures and farms was the famous enclosure movement in British history.

"I knew he had no good intentions in sending me a sheep." Georgiana said through gritted teeth.

"Due to the suspension of the habeas corpus law, hundreds of Dubliners were imprisoned in jails or abandoned ships in the bay without trial. The nobles in exile in England and France obtained habeas corpus by purchasing it. Do you think we can do the same?

asked Edgeworth.

"That's not a small sum of money," said Georgiana.

"I think this can be done, just like you let the Parisians lend money to the bakery owner without letting the panic continue to spread." Edgeworth sighed and said, "People have had enough of the reign of terror."

She felt there was something in his words.

"They lost some of their money, and now they want to get it back. What's your idea?" Edgeworth asked.

"As you heard last time, they wanted to buy back the ownership of the Ourcq Canal from the Lyons," Georgiana said.

"What about wool?" said Edgeworth.

"Let's solve Madame Louverture's problem first," she said with a headache.

"This is what I want to remind you. What do you think will happen to you after Napoleon's fall?" Edgeworth lowered his voice. "You are not like Susan. She is 50 years old."

She looked at him confused.

"Although you made a joke and said you are 50 despite being a 20-year-old girl, I am very worried about your future," Edgeworth said.

"Oh, I'm not kidding." Georgiana said with a smile, "I am a witch."

Edgeworth smiled, as if he thought she was joking.

"I think you already know that you have to find yourself a protector. George III doesn't like you."

Georgiana suddenly realized that it was precisely because of the opposition of George III that William Pitt Jr.'s proposal was not implemented. If there was another king...

"You are a cunning Irishman, Richard." Georgiana smiled and looked at Edgeworth.

"And you, a quick learner, who taught you Irish dancing?" Edgeworth asked.

"Isn't it you?"

Edgeworth laughed.

Georgiana was looking at the bill on the table in trance. If she remembered correctly, the letter written by Louverture to her was also placed in Matilda's suitcase.

So maybe what the dark figure wants to take is not her seal, but it.
