Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1404 Dilemma
There is a story in Aesop's fables.

One day a beautiful long-horned deer, dying of thirst, came to a spring to drink, and then became fascinated by his own reflection in the water.

The deer is proud of its dignified and beautiful horns, but when it sees its thin legs, it feels ashamed.At this moment, a lion suddenly rushed towards it, and the deer turned around and ran away in fright. Its thin legs were very powerful, and it ran very fast, and it dropped the lion far away in one fell swoop.

But the lion chased after him, and when he arrived in the jungle, the deer's horns were accidentally caught by a tree branch.

When he was about to die, the deer said to himself: "What is going on here? I thought that my shameful legs could save my life in a critical moment, but my self-satisfied horns killed me when I was about to escape danger?"

There are many things like this, which go well at the beginning, but end badly in the end, such as marriage, or the founding of a country. At the beginning, the participants are full of expectations, but the result is often not good.

So what about marriages or founding states that start out badly?

Napoleon and his army flooded into Italy like the flood of Apennines. He achieved amazing results in a short period of time, but there is no doubt that the French army, which had nothing at that time, was like a group of robbers. Not all Italians The delegates all liked Napoleon as much as the Milanese.

The Egyptian Expeditionary Force felt even more ashamed. They were not even qualified to return to Paris to welcome the triumphant return, so they could only accept the review in Lyon.

Not to mention Josephine, who had an affair with young people when Napoleon was in Egypt, and Menu, who was inspected after losing a battle.

Today's military parade held at the Plaza de la Fiore was not at all glorious, but full of embarrassment and shame. Perhaps only the citizens of Lyon and the army commanders felt happy.

On January 1st, the Chamber of Commerce held a ball to welcome Josephine. On January 21th, the garrison in Lyon also held a ball for Josephine. Any fool knows what happened.

Lyon's military camp is also on Fourviere Hill, and the commercial area only appeared after the opening of the Rhone-Saone River channel.In the Kingdom of Burgundy and earlier in the ancient Roman era, Lyon was only used as a fortress castle, and it gradually became an important silk fabric center in Europe after the 13th century.

In the 1000 years after the split of the Roman Empire, Lyon's status continued to decline. The former Roman Legion's garrison had disappeared, and it was not restored until the Burgundy Kingdom.The castle in the Lyon barracks was built in the middle ages. It is far less luxurious than Versailles. It is full of hard stones. It is only because of the interior decoration that it feels a little comfortable.

Soldiers returning from Egypt also stayed here, and they will eventually return to Paris.

Soldiers on leave are also a hidden danger to the security of the mainland, and it is the same in the 21st century.Even if these soldiers do not have Ptsd, they cannot accept the shackles of civilized society because of their life in time of war.

A large part of these people became tramps and beggars, wandering the streets of Paris, and some became bandits, running rampant in the French provinces.

They will rob grain carts, those with a little conscience will blackmail the monastery, and those without conscience will rush in and do mischief. The county guards of the provinces can only drive away these vagrants, beggars and robbers temporarily. These people prepared.

There are 300 million quintals of food in Paris. Basically, as long as there are no hoarders, food prices will not soar. The crisis in the provinces is expected to start in the second half of the year.

In order to hunt down these unlawful bandits, and to ensure the safety of grain carts and commercial roads, Napoleon set up special squads and special criminal courts to deal with vagrants, criminals and the like.

This special criminal court is a bit different from the circuit court. The office location is not fixed, but the staff is fixed. It is composed of a president, two general court judges, three military officers, and two military officers. Once the ruling is appointed to deal with burglary, road robbery, homicide, arson, counterfeiting currency, inciting assembly, etc., the judgment result is the final judgment, and there will be no appeal or retrial.

Since February 1801, 2, this special court has been practiced in 7 counties, and now it is just spreading this court to the whole law.It would be better if those soldiers who have been to Egypt and Napoleon can stay in the Special Court and the Einsatzgruppen. If they cannot stay, they will go to Bruges, Belgium.

If Britain and France achieve peace talks, there will inevitably be tourists. Bruges is facing London. It used to be very prosperous and was called the Venice of the North.

It is next to Ostend, Belgium's second largest port, connected to Brussels in the east, the Netherlands in the north, and France in the south. It was only when the seaway began to accumulate sediment that Bruges' position was replaced by Antwerp.

Antwerp became a military port, so how did Britain and France trade in sugar, tobacco, silk and other commodities?

Even a layman like Georgiana knew that there was something wrong with this Egyptian expeditionary force, and it must not be disbanded on the spot, but could only be dismantled little by little.

The west of France is very backward, and because it is far away from the eastern front, civilians are not willing to join the army at all.

But the residents here are very obedient to the priests. During the Great Revolution, there was a Ward County rebellion, the National Guard was contacted and armed, and the constitutional priests and officials were executed in batches.

There is also a similar inquisition in this area, with hammer punishments for non-believers, satanic meetings, and constitutional clergy.

The Western Corps will not leave the garrison even if it is disbanded. They will also set up a ranger to prevent the royalist party from instigating another riot.

The last time Georgiana met at the Peasant Association was very arrogant, and the nobleman named de Marshall was going to this place.

The sheriff recommended by Lucien is mainly moderate, but the role of moderates in troubled times is extremely limited.

A bond is a bond with an interest rate of 5% at first, then changed to 3%, and finally became interest-free like banknotes.

This kind of interest-free bond is used to repay the national debt. The collateral of the bond is not precious metals such as gold and silver, nor is it grain whose price fluctuates greatly, but land. In the city, they are not interested in the land in the countryside, so they are not in a hurry to sell the Qingli coupons in their hands.A bond is only valuable when it is sold at the country it refers to, and before that it will inevitably depreciate.

The owners of the land no longer accept tenants to pay rent in vouchers, and advise them to wait. In addition, some people are forging vouchers. The guillotine in Lyon is erected in Tropical Square, facing the city hall , the first victims were a prisoner who forged a certificate and a baker accused of fraud.

Using guillotines to solve economic problems has already formed a concept in the minds of the French. The bread originally used in the army is made of a mixture of wheat and rye. Using pure and high-quality flour grains has led to an increase in the consumption of wheat.

Compared with urban residents, agricultural employees do not feel the pain of bread, because the wheat is in the field, they are not in a hurry to harvest, and the grain is not circulated between counties. In the Lower Alps, 58 liths of wheat are sold, and in Aube County. They only sell 25 liths, and each locality acts in its own way, only caring about its own food, causing a famine in Rouen, because the food destined for Rouen was robbed in Havre.

This time it was not bandits who attacked, but Minister Roland, the Girondist minister in charge of judicial execution. He was an economist of the free competition faction. Blocking its borders prevents the flow of food, resulting in regional food price imbalances.

When Napoleon was in Egypt, he relied almost entirely on himself for supplies, and he also found a way to raise the military salary. When Lana had no money, he asked Napoleon for it, and the others were similar.

From the day when the revolution broke out, the French army did not perform any religious ceremonies, and did not enter the church during their stay in Italy. Those who entered the church and robbed were shot by Napoleon, and they were not allowed to enter religious places when they were in Egypt.

The Egyptian Expeditionary Force felt that they were exiled and abandoned, and finally the British fleet brought them back from the desert.

When Massena was trapped in Genoa, what he lacked was food, not military pay, but what his men brought back were coins.

This is a concept formed during the Great Revolution. Soldiers will not act until they are paid.

But fear and interest are not the only levers that move people to action.

Even if the soldiers ensured the smooth flow of food roads, they must find a way to allow food exchanges between counties. This requires a strong attorney general to enforce this law.

In the middle of the meeting, Napoleon went to the ball to have a look. He said he would only go for half an hour, but within 10 minutes, Renier and Destein quarreled again.

At first they were discussing the queue problem at the military parade, but then the noise became more and more fierce, and the two left the meeting room directly.

Georgiana looked at the room full of male soldiers, none of them prepared to intervene.

Anyway, as long as the two of them don't die, it's not a big problem. The premise is that she finds a doctor with excellent medical skills or brings a potion like white moss.

Is it a violation of the International Statute of Secrecy for a wizard to save a Muggle?
Even a duel needs a referee, so she smiled and left the meeting room.
