Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1421 Catastrophe and Gradual Change

There are always such people in this world who are good at inventing and creating but not good at marketing. For this reason, they have to find some people like Stanley to help sell the products they have developed. Andrew, a fellow of Georgiana and a mechanic at the Houston Mill in Scotland Mikel is one of them.

The thresher he designed could thresh eight quarter-tons of oats an hour with four horses and four men.His machine uses a beating pattern, not a millet rubbing.This kind of machine can not only use animal power, but also water power. It is a pity that George Washington only bought one and did not introduce it to the United States in batches, let alone make Mikel rich.

When opportunities come your way, it feels like a dream, not real at all.

However, even a genius needs someone who appreciates him in order to truly show his talent.

For Georgiana, it was easy to recommend that lighthouse light. The Alexandria lighthouse in Egypt was built not only high, but also very large, in order to ignite a large enough fire to illuminate passing ships at night. Before people thought about the refraction of light and lenses, Napoleon liked this kind of "Oriental" and "ancient" things.

What annoys her is whether the young man will really use the money for invention and research after receiving the financial support, and instead squander the money she gave.

There are more than 5 gems in Napoleon's private vault. Georgiana has seen them. The pile of gems looks like a pile of glass beads. She thinks it is a good deal to exchange one gem for one.

But people change. The former opera star was out of reach in the eyes of the poor Corsican artillery lieutenant. Later, he became the commander-in-chief of Italy and found that Grassini's "Grassini" can be easily obtained with a few gems. Love", did he realize that he could no longer fit in the tailor-made dress made in 1797?

No amount of touching love words or poems could move Georgiana as well as his true feelings, although it was not she who moved him, but Josephine, the woman who had been good to him and hurt him deeply.

At Hogwarts, if you ask for help, it will always be answered.

But this is not Hogwarts. Although Argonne applied for a patent for the lighthouse lamp, he did not benefit from it, especially the Americans, who used his design but did not pay for it.

Cotton is more valuable than grain and according to Stanley the gin sells much better than the thresher and has a much greater impact on the economy and society, however the patented inventor Mr. Whitney Not receiving any money either, he went bankrupt in 1797.

Many scholars are not good at making money. Jean-Jacques Rousseau still had music scores to copy in his time. Now that there are music printing presses, it is even more difficult for poor students to survive, but it is often these people who change the world.

Napoleon was also so embarrassed that he couldn't afford the tickets for the opera house. It was a social occasion. After the publication of "The Origin of Human Inequality", the upper class used the privilege of canceling Rousseau's free admission to drive him out of the social circle. Get out of your sight, and the world will be clean.

Condorcet was also an outstanding figure in the Enlightenment. He advocated equality and was a relatively moderate Girondist. Such outstanding figures also died in the reign of terror of the Jacobins.

This is a troubled time, and Madam du Barry thought that if she shouted "wait a moment", the guillotine knife would not fall.Mrs. Du Barry has also funded some artists. They did not launch a coup immediately after receiving Teresa's note to save her life like Talian.Therefore, Georgiana should be more cautious when investing in talents. Maybe these "chicken and dog thieves" she raised will help her at critical moments.

What she did just now was a little rash, but she didn't think it mattered. Her money was in the Bank of Bonaparte, which was managed by a special accountant and was drawn by check. She still had more than 200 million francs, one for Fresnel. How much can a person use?What's more, he used it too much, and the bank's accountant would contact her or Napoleoni's.

After the incident just now, she also remembered that preparations for the second French Industrial Exhibition should also start, and she wanted to find something that could be sold to participate in the exhibition.

After the civil war, France was devastated. The north was better, and the south didn’t even have a thresher. It was too late to use the thresher for agricultural promotion. Fortunately, Stanley brought models and drawings. Georgiana let the students of the Polytechnic Institute immediately For imitation, first let farmers know that there is such a thing, and then they discuss whether to use it or not.

In addition to the thresher, Stanley also brought a model of a grain lifter.For thousands of years, humans have relied solely on the wind to separate the chaff from the chaff, and it's mentioned in the Bible that Scottish farmer Andrew Roger came up with the device.

However, some religious people believe that the wind is the power of the gods, and it is a sin for humans to use the wind. France has never heard of priests sprinkling holy water and farmers planting potatoes. How about using a grain lifter?
Finally, a student from the countryside told her that he had seen a grain lifter, but it was not produced by Andrew Roger of Scotland, but promoted by the Jesuits.The Jesuits were still at that time, and if we go back to the time of Louis XV, the grain lifter would have become an "antique" long ago.

Just as Stanley was about to put the grain lifter away, Georgiana immediately asked if anyone else had seen this machine?Most said no, so she told Stanley to put the model back on the table.

In the technical school, she found the feeling of being the dean again, and more importantly, there was no education order to restrain her, so she finally didn't have to endure them.

After "enslaving" these students, Georgiana took them to Mrs. Talian's "hotel" for a delicious meal, and they were so easily bought by her.

They still had classes in the afternoon, so Georgiana let them go back to school. Brunnier's next arrangement was to go to the Paris Botanic Gardens, and this time Mrs. Talian would also go with her.

A friend of Brunniard's who used to work at the Jardin des Plantes in Paris was told by a former colleague of a new crop of roses from Holland.

Georgiana was not interested in roses at first, but Brunnier mentioned the names of two kinds of roses, which made her look forward to this visit.

One of these two roses is called la belle sultane and the other is called Cecilia.

"Sudan Concubine" also has a name called Maheka, which happens to be the same name as Josephine's cousin.Legend has it that she was captured by pirates on the way back to her hometown of Martinique in the Caribbean from France, where she studied abroad, and then became a Turkish princess.

This kind of rose is very bright red, with yellow stamens, as graceful and luxurious as the princess of the Sudan. The other rose, Cecilia, is pink in the center, and the edge of the flower gradually turns white. It belongs to the Damascus rose system. They are all Introduced by the French horticulturist Searles.

"What secret do you know?" Teresa whispered in Georgiana's ear while Brunnier was in contact with the staff of the botanical garden.

Georgiana thought for a moment, finally laughed and said "bastard," and fell silent.

"Tell me about it," Teresa asked, tugging at Georgiana's arm.

"Do you think Turkish pirate ships will go to the Caribbean?" Georgiana asked.

Mrs. Talian, like most women, has zero knowledge of geography, and she wondered blankly, God knows if her little head is really thinking.

"Hahaha, why do you think it's impossible?"

They heard a man's loud laughter, so they turned around and looked over, and found that it was a handsome man with a pair of very charming eyes, and he looked very gentle.

"Who are you?" Georgiana asked the daredevil.

"Guess it……"

"Cuvier!" Blonniard shouted before he could finish his nonsense, "You are finally here!"

Brunnier hurried over, "This is my friend, Georges Cuvier, he is an honorary professor at the Paris Botanic Garden."

"Do you still like the roses that the First Consul gave you last time?" Cuvier said, looking at Georgiana.

"What's the name of that rose?" asked Georgiana.

"Cloris, derived from the name of the goddess of spring in Botticelli's works." Cuvi said with a smile, "That variety of roses was originally pink, but a white one actually bloomed on the day the First Consul came to visit. "

"He picked it just like that?" Georgiana said with some regret, maybe that flower can cultivate a new variety.

"Do you like it?" asked Cuvier.

She did not answer.

"Poor Zephyr," Cuvier said pitifully, "he gave Cloris his heart, what will she give him back?"
