Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1855 Sweetener

It doesn't matter whether the bell was ringing 200 years ago or 200 years later, it seems to sound the same.

On the outskirts of Paris, on the only way to Versailles, there is a newly built town, which was converted from a barracks where 2 soldiers loyal to the Bourbon royal family were once stationed.

It has been abandoned for a long time. One day Bonaparte accidentally discovered it when he was driving with the Scottish rose. Now it is a small town where the British in France live. It is blocked by a log wall outside and has a clean water source inside. As long as enough food and grass are stored, it can be used as a camp to hold on.

The act of stealing corpses has been repeatedly banned, especially for young female corpses. When the British first moved in, they had conflicts with the townspeople in the neighboring town of Sevres.

According to The Monarch, no matter how powerful your army is, occupying a place requires the support of the locals.

Although there was no evidence that the British had done it, Georgiana ruled under the Sackley Law, which prohibits the grave robber from associating with anyone until the victim's parents accepted compensation and offered to allow him to return to the crowd.

In the end, the members of the Chamber of Commerce gave a sum of money to appease the mother who lost her daughter. The French townspeople also had limited contacts with the British, and there was no such a warm scene in Paris.

Only then did many recall St. Bartholomew's Night, which took place during the Wars of Religion, when the Queen Mother Catherine de' Medici gave the order.In view of the current ambiguous situation in Britain and France, many people are cautious to reserve a house in the town and usually live in Paris.

Just like the British transported the French Egyptian expeditionary troops back to the country, the gate guards for the British were actually French. It is said that this is the reason why Georgiana and the First Consul got acquainted, and she came to borrow troops.

The British who had experienced the French Revolution described the chaos at that time. In the meeting room of Versailles, which could hold 2000 people, the speakers had to shout at the top of their lungs. The dark crowd was always noisy, and more than half of them Time is wasted in yelling, what the next speaker says has nothing to do with the previous one, so it becomes an endless, aimless barrage.

Big meeting never do anything, the same is true for the House of Commons in the UK. When talking about an issue, you will start to do it. In order to protect the safety of the "players", two red lines will be drawn on the ground. It happens that the two sides cannot reach each other with their swords. length.

All in all, George III was eager to continue the war, and the citizens did not understand his stubbornness because they could not see the benefits of continuing the war.

The constitutional king is different from the queen. The queen has no right to say no. Even if she is asked to sign the document for her resignation, she still has to sign it.

The typical advantage of the king is that he is in a constant position. British princes have to go to military schools, and constitutional princes have to serve. The navy has a pink warship. It is said that a certain prince had a whim and thought that Warships of this color can be invisible in the afterglow of the setting sun, so I ordered it to be painted like that.

Although the British Parliament has passed two laws restricting the kingship of the monarch, in actual implementation, because of political inertia and the people still believe in the royal family, the king or queen is still the one with the most political power, but the queen will not obey like the king. Military service, so the queen has no power to say no.

An active and half-crazed king who made frequent mistakes, and ministers were not only exhausted by this, but also worried about the king's power, who was involved in the appointment and dismissal of William Pitt, Jr. and Henry Addington, and Fox, who had visited France After visiting the First Consul, I also met with Georgiana.

In Fox's words, she is very brainless. Many mistresses worry about aging, but Georgiana doesn't know how to "save money". Does she think that the First Consul will always like her?
Mistresses are another "culture" of the French besides strikes. At least for some men with certain assets, wives are used to have children, and mistresses are used to love, but this kind of love can be exchanged at any time , there will always be younger and more beautiful ones.

Which of the paintings hanging on the walls of the Louvre is not a treasure?Georgiana took a fancy to a statue of the Madonna painted by Raphael to be precise. Bonaparte ordered someone to take it down and send it to her residence.

She liked "Girl with a Pearl Earring," and the Governor of the Netherlands got that painting back.

If the Pope hadn't sent the sculptor Canova, the Vatican's Madonna would have been doomed, even though she wanted a replica.

Asking for these works of art will cause national conflicts. Rembrandt's "The Prodigal Son" is still in Russia, but there is still a copy hanging on the wall. The Louvre has become a trophy room. Of course, it was originally It's just a trophy room.

Later, she also gave the Prince of Wales a Renaissance oil painting, the Prince of Wales liked it very much, and no one knew that she planned to send him a portrait of the princess.

Bonaparte indulged her in "tricks and tricks". There was a tapestry in the dining room of the Tuileries Palace, which was a gift from Bonaparte to the Turkish Sultan. She interpreted it as a gift from the Sultan and hung it up. A diplomatic storm arose.

Prime Minister Addington put more emphasis on the interests of the Mediterranean, while William Pitt, Jr., in opposition, focused on Trinidad or Tobago.

There are fewer and fewer trees in the UK that can be used to build masts. Boston's shipyards can provide masts for the British Royal Navy. There are still large rainforests in Brazil. What else is there in the Mediterranean?All that remains of them is the glory of the past.

The European royal family has a special fascination with Florence, a place of the Renaissance, and occupies the surrounding land like buying the bones of saints.The Spanish royal family is willing to exchange a land as large as Louisiana for only a little land in the Principality of Tuscany. From a businessman's point of view, this deal is not worthwhile. Americans have been coveting the land of Louisiana for a long time.

But nobles are always different from normal people, let alone the royal family.

Napoleon stayed in Florence for a short time and lived in the Pitti Palace. At that time, he was accompanied by opera star Grassini. He liked to listen to "Nina" very much. Later, he invited the composer of "Nina" to come Paris, please continue to create.

Exempt from tariffs on steel, in exchange for Addington, stop being irritated by the Malta issue last week, and renew the contract after the contract expires. Malta is like Bonaparte's reverse scale, untouchable.

As for the domestic iron foundries in France who are currently busy recasting cannons, the civilian ones don't care, but that is also temporary.

Many textile factories in France are family businesses, and their management models are quite different from those in England, and the church is involved.

In the past, when silk was an expensive luxury, the beds of bishops in Rome were almost covered with this expensive fabric. As France was able to manufacture silk fabrics, their orders went to these French families.

Technology and patents belong to others, and the civilian has no right to let others share it like a public garden, unless the civilian agrees that his patent is not protected by law.

Saltpeter can be used to make gunpowder, and it can also be used to make ice. American bison are going to be hunted anyway, so don’t waste the meat. Make it into cans or use "refrigerators" to sell them to Europe, which can also increase income.

Generally speaking, a man with a little ambition, even a worker, would not be willing to marry an ordinary maid. Rousseau also loved aristocratic women. Later, when he was poor or resigned to his fate, he would marry a maid.

But you can't marry the lover of your dreams home, and treat her as a child-bearing person, and there are other lovers outside.

Catherine de' Medici, who was born and raised in Florence, had many suitors, but she chose Prince Henry of France, and she never dreamed of what would happen next.

Being a bride is a joy, especially when there is a grand wedding and there are beautiful wedding dresses to wear.

Even ordinary people will ring the bell when they get married in the church. Although it is not like the wedding of the rich and powerful, the whole city's bells will ring, and the sound resounds throughout the city, as if it has reached heaven.

But ordinary people also have their own happiness. Girls can ask the man to be monogamous and loyal forever, "You are only allowed to love me alone."

Neither Georgiana nor Pomona would ever have that, though she knew an emperor and a devoted man.

It's a curse on her.

In the crystal ball, she was a "connection", and rum was once a "connection", bringing a group of people together.

The self-proclaimed Sons of Liberty included John Adams, the founding "Father of the Nation."

"May the Son of Glory and Liberty live forever!"

People held up rum and yelled, as if they had kicked off a big show.
