Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1467 "Windicius"

If it weren't for being desperate, who would borrow usury.

After the signing of the "Amiens Peace Treaty", the price of French government bonds was 48 francs, and the price of British government bonds was 66 francs. Although the rate of return in the UK was lower than 5% in France, the UK's credit rating was high.

They were all robbers, and Katush Inderhannes of the Rhine region was very popular with the local residents because he liked to attack the Jews.

Although not all Jews were usurers, their reputations were still implicated. Rather than being victims, Georgiana hoped that they could take up arms to protect themselves.

It is also a land sale, and the land in Belgium cannot be sold to Louisiana. This acquisition is financed by the Anglo-Dutch Commercial Bank, Baring Brothers Bank and Hope Bank. The US government will use 6% interest rate bonds pay the bill.

Britain's overseas colonies also have troops stationed, which is not a small military expenditure.Taken together, if the cost of attacking Santo Domingo is too high and the benefits are not large, then Napoleon will give up his North American dream.He will sell Louisiana to enrich the treasury, and use the money to pay off debts and improve France's credit.

Bonaparte is a very pragmatic person. Although he also has his own dreams, he will not be so persistent as to break away from "reality" in order to pursue his dreams.

On the way to Egypt, he heard that many exiled nobles were shot by the Directorate after returning, even the elderly in their 80s. He was filled with righteous indignation and wrote a report to the execution committee members:

When did we soldiers who pursued the God of Liberty turn into executioners?They have compassion for the enemy on the battlefield, and they will not shoot the surrendered soldiers who have put down their weapons, but execute the women and old people of their own country after the battlefield. Isn't this an act of cowardice?

However, when in Egypt, Napoleon imposed harsh punishments in Cairo and enjoyed the pleasure brought by feudal autocracy.

In the dream, Albus asked Georgiana to distinguish the difference between monarchy and feudal autocracy, which makes no difference to 90% of the people on the planet.

In the words of Jacques Rousseau, everything in the monarchy works in one direction, and the monarch to achieve this goal is almost always fools, scoundrels and conspirators, who climb to the top of the court by playing tricks , But once he is appointed, he will make a fool of himself in public because of his incompetence.A republic would elect the bright and capable to the highest positions, which, however, could lead to partisan rivalry.Managing a country is more difficult than conquering a country. Feudal autocracy will use strict laws to make people submissive, including slavery.

Everyone is working hard in one direction again. The enlightened monarchy is still the actual ruler of the whole country, and exists to adapt to the development of industry and commerce.The feudal emperors attached great importance to agriculture, regarded agriculture as the foundation of the country, and firmly bound farmers to the land.

Monarchy is supported by laws, not by the love of the people.The power gained by the love of the people is great, but not stable.

It is not easy to shake the feudal ideology that has existed in people's minds for thousands of years. It is impossible to completely abolish privileges. Only by restoring equality before the law, those who usually enjoy privileges no longer enjoy privileges, just like the Roman Republic. Brutus, even if his own son broke the law, he would still do it when it was time to execute the death penalty, and he would not bend the law because of favoritism.

All in all, the difference between a feudal monarch and an enlightened monarch is that he does not care about the interests of the people, he blindly pursues his own interests and disregards the interests of the people, and the harm caused by a monarch who abuses his talents is no less than that of a mediocre and incompetent monarch. If Lucien is a pure republican, Nor would he have helped Napoleon when he saw the monarchy, instead of stabbing Napoleon to death, as he had sworn in public.

Caesar liked Brutus, but Brutus assassinated Caesar.

The daggers stabbed from the hands of trusted people are the most piercing. Lucien did not move around like Siyes, calling for a referendum, and the votes will determine whether France should continue slavery in the colonies.

Georgiana had a hunch that this result must be against the continuation of slavery, and Lucien's popularity would be higher than that of Napoleon.

The Constitution stipulates that the term of the First Consul should be extended for ten years, and Napoleon's Christian name was not written behind the title of "First Consul". Like Chaputal, Man rejected the Legion of Honor, which, in the words of one of the officials who rejected it, was a badge of slavery.

Dr. Corvisal used poultices to treat a peeling rash on his chest, which prevented him from taking baths, but which he needed to refresh himself, creating a vicious cycle.

If Josephine would like to come to the Tuileries, it would be a good thing that Bonaparte could lie in her arms and sleep, so that he would recover quickly.

But she didn't know whether she was afraid of Marie Antoinette's ghost, or she really had a job. She stayed in St. Luke's Palace all the time. The distribution of the national debt, as well as the creeds and customs of the various parties, came almost exclusively from young people, all of whom came from great Swiss families.

Napoleon couldn’t entertain alone, so he asked Fouché and four congressmen to negotiate with them. This is the disadvantage of the federal system. Other states don’t even pay for the daily revenue and expenditure of the U.S. government. Why should they bear the burden that has nothing to do with them What about the national debt?Buying Louisiana made the United States bigger, and it wasn't the state under the governor's jurisdiction that became bigger.

Everyone wanted to reach out when they made a profit, and they all ran away when they took responsibility. Santo Domingo has two big cities, Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haitien, which can be used as the capital of two parts. The plantations that originally belonged to white people were handed over. They own the land they develop themselves, which is an ideal solution.

All in all, if some people are withdrawn first and go to Barbados to cultivate, if this battle continues, it will destroy humanity.

If the Creator saw its creatures slaughtered in such a cruel way, it might choose to close its eyes.

Is it a person or a beast that survives in the end?

Sometimes political economy is inseparable, so there are political economy and political economists, but this is not a matter of political economy, but a matter of theology and morality.

Brutus once freed a slave named Vindicius. He was the first slave to be freed by a magistrate touching a scepter. This method of "freeing a scepter" is also known as For "Windickus".

The slave owner pretends to have a lawsuit with his trusted friend in front of the consul. The two sides fight with wooden sticks. The friend who is the plaintiff declares the slave a free man. The slave owner does not rebut and acquiesces. for a free man.

This reminded her of the duel between Harry and Draco Malfoy, as well as the released elf Dobby. Aren't the two of them like friends who "duel" with sticks?
Who will remember the little conflicts in the student days when they grow up?

"Oh, I happen to know two," said Georgiana involuntarily.

"Know two what?" asked Bonaparte, lying on her lap.

"When did you wake up?"

"Just now." He waved at her. "Give me a kiss, princess."

She didn't want to kiss him, she wished it was Severus lying on her lap, but she kissed him anyway.

She felt slightly sick.

After the kiss was over, she looked down at him.

"What do you think of being the principal of the Condorcet school?" said Napoleon, smiling.

"I don't want to be headmaster," Georgiana said, "and you shouldn't have my face for the Legion of Honor."

"why?"

"This violates my right to portrait!" she said sternly.

He completely ignored her protests.

"What are you staring at me for?"

"Appreciate the masterpiece." Bonaparte said comfortably, "I am your exclusive painter."

"Are you in a good mood?"

He turned around and leaned his face against her stomach, as if refusing to communicate.

"Sing to me." He said angrily.

She is not a phonograph. She didn't want to sing at first, but she sang anyway.

He was a little surprised, and looked up at her, "What song is this?"

"This song is sung by mermaids, not by humans," Georgiana explained. "I imitate only three-pointers, and there is no magic in my singing."

"Is there really a mermaid in the sea?"

"That's right, but they only eat people when they're extremely hungry. Seafood is plentiful now, unlike the myths."

"Keep singing." He fell back again and said with a smile, "I want to hear the singing of the mermaid."

She sang dryly.

My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold,

There is nothing that can console me but my jolly sailor bold.
Come all you pretty fair maids, whoever you may be
Who love a jolly sailor bold that ploughs the raging sea.
