Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1325 "Wine King"

In addition to participating in many important battles, the commander-in-chief of the Guards, Lana, also entered the Papal State with Victor.

It was precisely because he was Napoleon's confidant that he was allowed to command the Guards.

He used to serve as a quartermaster in Egypt, and he was pretty good at that time, but after entering the Guards, because of his affection, he became extravagant when buying things and supplies for the "beloveds".

He has a problem with slurring words, which is because a bullet pierced both cheeks outside Acre, which made his speech slurred. Before he came back from Egypt, his wife gave birth to a son, and he suspected that it was an illegitimate child. Napoleon was not the only one who experienced a marriage change that year.

The only difference with Napoleon is that he chose to divorce, and then went on a second expedition to Italy with Napoleon. After returning home, he married Louis Antoinette, the daughter of a high-ranking official, according to Napoleon's arrangement. The couple lived happily. So good that he even took her to Georgiana's company when he went to work.

Georgiana did not ask about Louis's father's official position, just like Josephine said, women should not participate in politics. Originally, she only had Sophie as a maid, but now she has one more, plus Madame Montesquieu and Joseph's wife Jasmine, She had enough female companions.

Her hobby is reading rather than chatting, and she can think about things in a daze while reading.

Belgium is on the western coast of Europe, bordering Germany to the east, the Netherlands to the north, France to the south, the North Sea to the west, and the UK across the sea.

Such a place is an important point in a war, and it is a place that must be attacked.At the same time, it is also a place with developed and convenient transportation, and it will be very easy to do business.

The Netherlands was annexed by France, and France signed a peace treaty with Germany, leaving Britain.

If the peace talks can be successful, then the Jews who are good at doing business will be able to enjoy themselves there. This is a country where danger and opportunity coexist. Engage with multiple parties.

Her first thought was Mr. Martin, but he was probably not available, so who was she going to?

"Miss, please see Mr. Julian Uvral." Sophie walked to her side and said softly.

"Who?"

"He and several bankers are responsible for buying grain in England and the Netherlands," Sophie reminded.

Georgiana remembered that Napoleon had received them in Marie Antoinette's small drawing room in the Tuileries Palace.

The situation of the Bread and Blood Movement was not reported in the newspapers, but since the Prince of Wales sent an envoy for secret peace talks, it was not a small problem.

When there is a famine, who would think that food is scarce?However, the British refused to allow foreign grains to enter Hong Kong, so they could transport the grains that had arrived at British ports.

If Britain does not import grain, the grain from Poland and Russia cannot be sold. These are the granaries of the French army during the Russian expedition.

The Russians were so ruthless that they used scorched-earth warfare to catch Napoleon off guard, and then she remembered what Marie Antoinette's ghost said, let the British expel those royalist nobles.

"Let him go into the parlour," said Georgiana, and she got up and left the study.

She did not immediately go to the small living room, but to the bedroom furnished in the conservatory, and took out of the jewelry box the Regency pom-poms that Bonaparte had given her, and Bonaparte forced her some jewelry , but apart from the olive branch brooch she rarely wears those jewelry.

She didn't go looking for the black swan necklace, although Bonaparte allowed her to wear it.

After thinking about it for a long time, she put the necklace back on, and then she looked around for something to tie the pompom to.

Napoleon, who was dressed like a groom that day, did not have a sword, and she had a very uncomfortable feeling that he had to wear a sword on the day of the ceremony.

She has a feeling like a trapped animal, but there are so many items, but none of them can symbolize her like a sword.

After searching in vain, she put the pompom on her wrist like a bracelet and went to meet the guests.

Since a woman is an asset to a man, a woman is also a commodity.

She was so self-defeating that she thought, when will men and women truly have equal status?

She didn't dare to look at the bed, maybe because she felt that her "legitimacy" had been recognized, and the Corsican dwarf was even more unscrupulous.

He wanted a child very much, but he was like those peasants who refused to give up even though they knew nothing could be grown from the land. If they persuaded him now, he would be very angry instead.

He has been in the Grand Trianon for a while, and it is time to return to Malmaison, otherwise the "balance" will be broken.

On the way to the small living room, she had been sorting out her thoughts, but this circular building imitating the Church of Our Lady of Ankang did not have the long corridors of the Tuileries Palace. She soon saw You, who was called "Professor" by Napoleon. Lean Uvral.

"Good day, Mademoiselle Georgiana." Uvral saluted her with court decorum.

"Good day, Professor." She raised her hand and asked him to kiss her hand.

"Please sit down." She pointed to the golden sofa and said, "Has the food you bought shipped back?"

"This is exactly what I want to talk to Miss. I wonder if you can ask the Royal Navy to let our cargo ship pass by."

She smiled strangely, isn't this a dream or what is she doing?
"Do you know why Madame Montesquieu is in such a hurry to come to your side?" said Uvral. "She understands English."

Georgiana looked at Sophie.

"No..." Sophie shook her head in panic.

"I can deal with your British friends on your behalf, and avoid the same rash and reckless people as last time." Uvral said calmly.

"Get out, Sophie."

Sophie glanced at Uvral with hatred, and left angrily.

"It was your idea?" Georgiana asked the professor.

"It was our idea." Uvral said, "The First Consul is an actor who is very good at acting. Did his performance at that time impress you?"

"You smelly men..."

"I don't love money as much as the others." Uvral interrupted Georgiana, "I want to hold power like Gaston Martin, but the First Consul has never liked the rich, can you help me? "

"I don't want to be Madame du Barry," said Georgiana. "I'd rather stay out of politics."

"I thought you were an intermediary of power," said Uvral. "Do you think I'm not qualified for that?"

"You are good at creating disputes, but I hope Britain and France can maintain this friendly relationship." Georgiana stared at Uvral and said, "You make it difficult for me to choose, professor."

"I heard a message that the First Consul did not agree with the normalization of trade proposed by the UK."

"India will replace North America as the source of tobacco," Georgiana said. "Except for tobacco, other commodity trade will not return to normal."

"Do you think the British will let our merchant ships pass if I go over with the news?"

"You tell them that if you get the right to trade tobacco, you will have to expel all the Shu'an elements in the UK. Also, I need a lot of engineers, and my cannery is still a mess." Georgiana said angrily, "Only me Well done, my words carry weight.”

"I heard that the First Consul called you a princess, do you really want to be a princess?" Uvral said.

"Compared to the title, I want something more practical. Do you need anything from me to prove that you are my emissary?"

"How about this pom-pom on your wrist?" said Uvral, looking at the Regency pom-pom in her hand.

She hesitated, then untied it and handed it to Uvral.

"Remember to return it to me when you're done using it." She warned.

"I will," Uvral said with a smile, grabbing her hand and kissing it again. "How do I pay you back?"

She took her hand back.

"Why didn't you slap me?" Uvral smiled strangely.

"Give it to my maid, you don't need to give it to me yourself." She said angrily, then stood up, opened the door and left the small living room. Sophie was standing at the door, as if listening to the movement inside.

"I heard that the First Consul really wanted to drink the wine king that had been preserved for 40 years in Vougou, but the dean who managed the vineyard refused to provide it. We can talk about this next time." Uvral said in Georgiana Say loudly behind your back "You can take this as my wedding gift to you guys."

"Write to me, I don't want to see you!" she said angrily to the professor.

"Yes, princess." Uvral saluted her again with court etiquette.

Georgiana turned and left.

She felt that it was necessary to explain to Bonaparte what happened just now, and she felt that it was not the behavior of a good woman.
