Chapter 2285 The Jackal’s Loyalty (Part 2)

While making tea, Georgiana calculated the time. Bonaparte treated her to Austrian chocolate before the Treaty of Amiens was signed and after the British bombarded Copenhagen. In other words, the Anti-French Alliance could still form a counter-attack after it was disbanded.

The British Alliance, but Austria does not seem to have joined.

If you don't take a stand, you will always be the winner's spoils, because whoever wins doesn't need to have doubtful allies who don't come to their aid in times of adversity.

Georgiana really didn't expect that there was actually a branch of Peruzzi Bank in Amsterdam that survived, and it survived by doing exchange business with the Hanseatic League. After all, the Baltic Sea was the "game reserve" of the Hanseatic League.

No one outside the alliance members was allowed to trade, and there would be no Italian merchants east of the Rhine.

However, Amsterdam is right on the Rhine River. Although the Hanseatic League can transport fruits, olive oil, and various wines from southern Europe, there are some things they cannot obtain, such as Venetian mirrors.

I haven't heard of any luxury goods in Northern Europe. Luxury goods are mainly from Italy and France. At this moment, she suddenly thought of looking in the mirror. How would she meet the guests if she looked sloppy.

People always unknowingly live in the way they once hated the most. In fact, she doesn't mind living in the "burrow" like Molly.

Archimedes said, give me a fulcrum and I can move the earth. This is why people went crazy when the Belgian railway issued securities. For example, he bought 1,000 pounds of securities and mortgaged them to the bank.

Obtain 80% to 90% of the loan, and then use the funds obtained to continue to purchase stocks, and then mortgage them. These people can obtain 10 times the loan by adding leverage. The earth will not necessarily be shaken, but it will cause a financial tsunami and destabilize the earth.

Everyone except the natives in the primeval forest trembled.

France's credit default in 1788 led to the bankruptcy of many banks that had lent money to Louis XVI to fight the war. France won the war, which was good news, but what "substantial" benefits did the Treaty of Paris have to France?

There was no benefit, and the debt was still there, so what else could we do besides raising taxes and selling off officials? Even so, we were still stretched thin, and in the end we simply suspended debt repayments. Austria, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Russia, and Spain all had sovereign defaults.

Just like the chain reaction, it was England who benefited from it, because the continental debt crisis caused the Netherlands to completely lose its status as the European financial center and was replaced by London.

Edward III's default led to the wool workers' uprising in Florence. The city had been paralyzed by the Black Death. At that time, Florence had formed an oligarch. They controlled taxation and used taxation to repay debts. This debt was not their personal debt, but

is public debt.

The woolen workers did not lend money to the British king to fight the war, so why did this debt fall on him? This involved the issue of public credit, but the woolen workers would not listen to the gentleman's explanation. They launched an armed uprising to

Down with the "fat man".

The logic of the zero-sum game is different from the logic of positive growth. The positive growth order requires credit, but the zero-sum game does not. In other words, it is not the kind of "commercial credit" that bankers think.

It's the same as wool workers failing to understand what public debt is, in which case there is only irreconcilable violence.

In a zero-growth society, people's ingenuity and wisdom are used in violent disputes, but they will cater to the sense of rural identity. Countryside people think that people with a positive growth mindset are ridiculous. How can they borrow money to consume ahead of schedule? Unless they are the kind of people with real family backgrounds.

When they have no money, farmers will go to loan sharks to borrow money. It is simply ridiculous to mortgage the land that their ancestors have earned for generations and take out loans to buy those "fashionable" farm tools. France's farming technology is still at the level of ancient Rome and the Middle Ages, far behind.

In the Netherlands, and the Netherlands has a typical business mentality, otherwise how could they use the land for flower cultivation?

Strictly speaking, flowers are not even cash crops. They are horticultural crops. Sugar beets are cash crops. They can be made into sugar and are edible. Flowers can only be seen. It is so laborious to promote growing sugar beets. No, it is promotion.

Growing potatoes is so laborious, let alone growing flowers.

Italian bankers in the 14th century still regarded the king as an ordinary customer, while the Genoese in the 15th century had an additional rule. If a debt default occurred, they could stop further credit. By the 17th century, as Spanish lands were occupied by the Netherlands, Genoa became a

The status of Europe's financial center was also replaced by Antwerp and Amsterdam, which established a developed public credit system with the support of the Holy Roman Empire.

Because of Marie Antoinette's marriage to Louis XVI, the Dutch lent money to Louis XVI, and then Louis XVI allowed France to participate in the American War. At that time, both Britain and the United States hoped that he would remain neutral. According to Machiavelli,

A person who is unfriendly to you will seek your neutrality. Let’s not talk about the relationship between Britain and France. John Adams did not like the French at the beginning. Jefferson, who was pro-French, also had conflicts with France over the sale of Louisiana.

One of the two banks supporting the acquisition, Hope Bank, was ABN Amro.

This is a bank that supports the slave trade and also monopolizes the exclusive agency rights for the Russian sugar trade. During a previous meeting of the Farmers Association, we once talked about how some farmers would rather have 8 very thin cows than 5 very tall cows.

Strong, milk-producing cows. According to the legal code promulgated by France in the 17th century, slaves are chattels. The more "chattels" a slave owner has, the more loans he can make, and generous loan conditions allow him to

That "virgin land" was opened up and farms expanded, but this prerequisite was westward expansion, and Louisiana was blocking the United States' westward expansion.

If the Louisiana Purchase is completed, it will not only be a commission, but also a broader market - based on the legal and moral foundation of slavery. Jefferson's election is largely related to the votes in Georgia. If Georgia

If the state ballot was invalidated, he might not be elected, but like Franklin and Hamilton, he was clearly opposed to slavery.

Louisiana currently uses Spanish law, speaks Spanish, and has a large number of Spaniards. In the 16th century, Spain in South America imposed exorbitant taxes and made the people miserable. There was a masked ranger named Zorro who relied on his strong swordsmanship to help the people.

He was weak, eliminated harm for the people, and married a beautiful girl. Then Zorro Jiu, who upheld justice and pursued freedom, took her with him, riding a horse, and went to other places to perform chivalrous acts.

Country folk love stories like this, even though it's illegal to use a sword to solve problems.

There is no Zorro in American westerns, but there are fast-shooting cowboys, even if it is illegal to duel in the street like them...

"what are you doing!"

Georgiana looked at the figure in the mirror and said.

The purifier from the United States was standing behind her, watching her arrange her clothes.

She pulled out the wand and turned to look at him.

"Your guests are here." He said easily, and then turned and left as if he really just came to inform.
