Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1289 The Purpose of Money

Rousseau once said that men and women had almost the same way of life before they formed a family. After forming a family, this gender division of labor formed naturally.Women became more stable and quiet, while men went out to provide for the necessities of life for their families.

For a king, he must ensure that his subjects have enough to eat. Napoleon did this. Although the price of bread still rose due to the famine, it would not force people to take risks. Also looking for food everywhere.

In contrast, the Bourbon royal family could not even do this. Quesnay’s economic reforms did not benefit the citizens who bought grain and the farmers who grew grain. Instead, the middlemen made the difference and became rich overnight.

What Rousseau said is not absolute, and there are also situations where a woman dominates outside and a man dominates inside, but Georgiana agrees with the division of labor between men and women after marriage.

She didn't like Draco's new wife Astonia very much, but she hated his ex-girlfriend Pansy even more, that girl was always afraid that people would not know her point of view.

Mrs. Stael likes to publish books, and she likes to flaunt the image of bourgeois women in the book.

Georgiana is the kind of "woman behind the man", she really can't do things in the limelight, and she also supports women in power, as long as they are capable enough.

Napoleon showed her the book "Telphine" written by Mrs. Stael. After reading this kind of "female novel", she had only one thought-she and Mrs. Stael were not from the same world. will become a sworn enemy.

Mrs. Stael believed that when a woman's destiny was united with the man she loved, whenever he came home, whenever she heard his footsteps, whenever she opened the door, she You will feel a great happiness.She absolutely does not want a marriage without love.

Georgiana estimated that Napoleon wanted to talk to her about political marriages. There were many young men and women in his family who wanted to marry for politics, and almost all of these marriages had no basis for love.

He made Mrs. Stael a disgusting person first, so that she would preconceive that everything Mrs. Stael said was wrong, and it was convenient for him to continue.

It was hard for her to tell now whether she was angry at "women who can bear children are the best," or at the fact that the Corsicans were angry with her for her intrigues, or at the fact that Mrs. Stael took it for granted that financial independence was easy.

Madame de Stael is just a Parisian woman, her world is nothing but salons and admirers around her, and Georgiana has to deal with those wandering veterans and make them marry women who are everywhere in the country looking for men to marry, she has no time Just ignore the idealist who married for love.

Paris is so prosperous, it would be very uncomfortable to go back to the cold list of the countryside after getting used to the hustle and bustle of the city. She agrees with Rousseau's saying that people should not gather in big cities anymore, but how to catch up?

The famine skyrocketed food prices and made wheat growers so profitable that they would support Napoleon.

The reason why France dominates Europe is because of population. If he really intends to attack Prussia, the Prussians have few people and their guns cannot be aimed properly. Facing the huge French army, their front line will soon collapse.

If he wants to conscript, more people will go to the battlefield after conscription, and many people will be as devastated as those wandering veterans.

But bread is not expensive, people can maintain their lives, and the population growth rate will increase. The French conscription system is that married men and men with children are not conscripted. There are many early marriages in rural areas, and Catholicism does not allow abortion, like Leticia. There are also quite a few women who have given birth to more than a dozen children, and fewer children survive and become adults, and even fewer children have been added to the war.

Historically, Bonaparte married the Habsburg princess because of her belly, and she also had more than a dozen brothers and sisters.

A man who thinks that "a woman who can give birth is the best woman" meets a woman who "marries for love, not for bread". The two of them are like Sparta and Greece. Fortunately, I don't know how she got in touch with the soldiers who planned to mutiny, so she ran to Switzerland to seek refuge.

Now she wants to go back to Paris to continue her previous life, but Napoleon does not allow her to get close to Paris.If it were Georgiana, she could go to the monastery and stay in the countryside. The feeling that a Parisian woman cannot live in Paris is extremely painful.Fearing God knows what she and her allies are plotting to avenge the dictator Napoleon, the paranoid Corsicans will never let her back.

The Corsican said just now that she changed her point of view when she met Georgiana, thinking that "women who can't give birth are also good", of course she didn't believe it.

He just has a fresh feeling for her now, and when faced with practical problems, he will think rationally again.

She just felt sorry for herself and Josephine. They were the kind of women who couldn't have children, so they had to accept new women.

This is God's punishment for her, even if Napoleon is talking to her tenderly and sweetly at this moment, she is not interested in listening to it.

The French were actually lovely, the rural women in the bandage shop, and the male cooks who would offer to help her with the manual work, and they loved being close to their rulers.Napoleon also treated the wounded soldiers well. This was not because he was showing off, but because he really thought so.This is different from the British who "give my vote to whoever gives me benefits".

Maybe Mrs. Stael would ask Georgiana: "Why do you help France when you are an Englishman?"

Napoleon was right. Religion means order. Georgiana can ignore Mrs. Stael's views on marriage and love, but she will never allow the "Crusaders" to appear again. She and Napoleon also have the same idea and cannot be motivated by religious fanaticism. Soldiers fight.

Robbery is a good thing in war crimes, and it is not a problem that can be solved with money. What she cares about is the safety of those civilians.

The use of force is not allowed in the church. Regardless of what atheists think, she will support the return of the church just for this, but this church must be a peace-loving church, not a church that instigates the Crusades.

"How do you feel?" the Corsican asked her.

"How did she get in touch with the people in the barracks?" Georgiana asked. "What's a woman doing with this?"

Napoleon laughed.

"what's so funny?"

"Your husband told you about divorce when you were about to take risks. I thought he wanted to upset you and make you die." He hugged her head and kissed her. "Human blood and dead bodies on the battlefield are not terrible, the most terrible They are actually living people, I experienced a mutiny when I was a recruit, it was still the period of the Great Revolution..."

"I know about it, Severus told me about it." Georgiana said, "The soldiers of your battalion asked the noble senior officers to hand over the gray income."

"Through that incident, I understood a truth. Money is not used for pleasure, but to help people make a difference in life. If I come to this world without leaving any traces, I will live in vain. , when my general said to me 'Nabonanoni, you don't look like a modern man living in the present, but from the time of Plutarch', even Josephine didn't understand me, she just talked to I said, 'Ha, Bonaparte, if I die, who will love you', I was afraid of this, she was going to die, no one would love me, now you come, she may have a crisis She is afraid that I love you more than her..."

"A religious ceremony with Josephine," said Georgiana, "to put her at ease, and I'm an Englishwoman, and Protestant and Catholic weddings can't take place."

"I know you won't marry me. What I want to ask is, have I left a trace in your heart? You are not indifferent when I am with other women, you will hate me, blame me, and curse me. "

"I thought you wanted to be loved."

"One thing you should know is that Josephine can be jealous. She's always worried that I'm falling in love with other women. I think you are too."

She sighed. "The Virgin Mary is not jealous."

"I know, but only then you are real." He held her arm firmly. "I don't want this to be just a dream."

"You want too much, my lion," she said calmly. "Your worst enemy is yourself."

"I can't leave you." He put his face in her hands. "I'm sorry for Severus, I'll get him anything he wants, except you."

"Don't confess to me, Leon."

"I want to confess to God, but where is it when we are in a desperate situation?" He cried and said, "I can't leave the soldiers who got the Black Death to the Turks, I can only leave the opium wine to them .”

"You gave them honor and let them choose how they ended their lives." She held Bonaparte's big head. "They died as free men."

"I think they'd rather die in their bed at home, with their families," he said, choking back.

"Do you want to die with your brothers and sisters?" Georgiana said.

"No!" he immediately shouted calmly.

"Not everyone loves their family members, maybe they prefer to die that way, to die with their comrades in arms." Georgiana said unconscionably, "Severus and I made a vow, either to live together, Either die together, because we have been through the war and understand the pain of loss, Lily, the woman he loved, died with her husband, and my student and her husband also died on the same day, they don't have to Go through the pain of life and death, there are things in this world that are more painful than death itself, such as slaves, slavery must be eliminated, my lion."

"They'll love you," Leon said.

"I'm good at talking empty words, but it's hard to say whether it can be put into practice." She said with a smile, "Men and women who have no money to marry have to start a family. Life has improved, and both men and women have become less agile. But they are stronger together against the beast."

"That's why I love you and hate Madame Stael, she's such a worm." Bonaparte wiped away his tears and said with hatred.

"You won't let her go back to Paris, just don't see her."

"Can you teach her a lesson for me?" Bonaparte said, "It's only women who can do things to women."

"Where are your sisters?"

"They don't care about this, and giving them money is also for pleasure."

"You gave me money to hire goons?"

"……That was not what I meant."

Georgiana thought about the village women in the bandage shop. They seemed to be quite strong, but they didn't know if they were willing to do this part-time job.

"You promised?" Bonaparte asked expectantly.

"I have to think about it," she said heartily.
"From the time you and I went to the street that day, I knew that you are not the kind of woman who is greedy for the bustling Paris." Bonaparte put her hand on his heart. "How about we go to the ceremony together on the day the canal started?"

"That should be the occasion for the first lady to go."

He looked at her and shook his head. "Promise me or I'll restore the blockade of Britain."

"I don't know what capacity to go with?"

"You don't need to explain." Bonaparte smiled confidently. "They all know who you are."
