Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1937 The Wind and the Sail

If steel replaces textiles as the pillar industry of Britain, bank loans will inevitably favor them.

Georgiana looked at the mirror thinking while arranging her clothes with the help of the maids.

The textile industry will not stop there, they will use their influence to lobby the banks not to lend to the steel companies who want to expand their production scale, so these steel companies will need loans from foreign banks, such as France.

Originally, Swiss bankers were also an option, but Switzerland is now fighting for independence, and young people in Switzerland are looking for France to stabilize the domestic situation.

Next came banks in Amsterdam, Spain, Portugal, and more.

She would not think that the new industrial factory owners were justified in advocating the abolition of customs checks and tariffs with Ireland. She remembered the beautiful natural scenery of Ireland. In a sense, this also represented the backwardness of industry, and industry represented There will be environmental pollution.Even with the same tariffs, advanced British industrial products would be dumped to Ireland. On the contrary, Irish backward industries would be impacted by British industries.

This is also the reason why France set up high tariffs, in order to protect local industries, and Ireland, which lost its tariff protection, would be disadvantageous. It would be redundant for factory owners to lobby parliament to change the treaty to be more beneficial to them.

There is a saying how to say, everything makes him redundant.

Food for work to solve the Irish famine might have worked if some of the infrastructure had been built in Ireland instead of starting from scratch.

She does not agree that it is reasonable to distribute food to the poor for free. Caesar did it before. He distributed food from North Africa and other places to Roman citizens for free, but caused Roman farmers to go bankrupt. The minimum price of the grain law is also to protect the local area After all, as the French academicians said, colonial agriculture is different from aboriginal agriculture.

Things are a little different in France, both England and America have cheaper flour than France's wheat, and these low priced grains will bring some sobriety to those who are too hotheaded to drive grain prices to unrealistic levels.If it is not because of the limited capacity, the amount of these British and American grains is large enough to make some speculators bankrupt. The problem is that there are many French people, and relying entirely on imports cannot solve the famine problem. Rouen’s merchant ships cannot be used to transport grains. , but also to transport cotton yarn for production, workers have jobs and income to buy daily necessities.

It is also for this reason that the Lyon silk factory borrowed money to start work instead of borrowing money to buy food relief. Spain, which learned many things from France, did not learn from France in terms of grain trade.

The Spaniards brought back a large amount of gold and silver from the Americas, but domestic productivity did not increase, and the total amount of goods did not change. On the contrary, the money used for exchange increased. Crazy printing refers to bonds, although it is considered a kind of national debt, Its essence is similar to that of banknotes.

The way bankers make money is to buy treasury bonds at a lower price, and then sell them on the market, and some people will subscribe.

But the French were frightened by the Great Revolution and a series of problems before the bankruptcy of the old system. Gold, real estate, and artworks were regarded as safe investments. Perhaps the Belgians were more willing to subscribe for bonds than the French.

After all, Napoleon let Austria cash out its national debt, and Talleyrand made a fortune. She was also a little bit excited. Should she take advantage of the inside information to make some money?
She looked at Matilda, thought of her father, and felt that he might not be able to handle this matter.

On the contrary, it is possible that Godan, who once persuaded her to do smuggling, married her maid, and loves to write scripts.

It happened that Godin was still in Madrid. In fact, it was peaceful. Whether the charter was issued or not, there would be no British or French warships to intercept the cargo ship and search for enemy cargo.The charter also contains some privileges, and the blank charter touches these old cheeses.

This time, going out to buy jewelry and clothes almost spent all of her accumulated living expenses. Those jewelers were simply robbing. When Farong came back, he didn’t want to be supported like he was in the court before. He wanted to earn money for her.

Opening a perfume shop in Place Vendôme, she thinks it can be done, anyway, he is also Marie Antoinette's queen perfumer, there will always be people who sympathize with Mary and are willing to buy perfume.

She was wearing the new post-revolutionary women's clothing, which was not as complicated and layered as the Rococo style, and it didn't take long for her clothes to be worn.

Halloween is coming, the streets must be very lively, Bonaparte's schedule is to visit the market, and she is going to the School of Pharmacy, no matter how she is, she is not the first lady Josephine, it is impossible to accompany him to "legal" What a wife would do.

She looked at the woman in the mirror and hoped that she would not become a second Madame du Barry, or a second Madame Pompidou, even though it was Madame Pompidou who founded the Sevres ceramic factory.

From the reflection in the mirror she saw Ferrier, followed by Bonaparte's valet, and Georgiana turned around immediately.

"Ma'am." Constance bowed towards her holding a jewelry box, "This is from the general."

All of a sudden, she had mixed feelings. When did she become the kind of woman who needs to rely on material things to fill her emotional gap?

"Put it there." She said flatly.

"The general said I must take your reply home," said Constance.

Just as she was wondering, Constance had already opened the box, and inside was a gold necklace on black velvet, with a note next to it.

Phillip handed her the note.

My darling, you kindle a fire in my heart that keeps me restless day and night.

I want to kiss your soul-stirring eyes, I want your sweet kisses,

Now I have only one word, come here, let me hug you,

Only you can give me comfort and calm the flames that are burning inside me.

"Wow." She couldn't help but exclaim.

The French romance is like this, I don’t know how many times a day I have to say "I love you", and sometimes I have to send messages for no reason, in short, "you" must respond to him.

Her exclamation caused the whole room to laugh. She felt a little embarrassed and went to the small living room next door.

Ferrier followed her in, still holding the jewelry box in her hand. When she sat down at a small table, Ferrier put the gold necklace on the table.

"This is an Etruscan style." Ferril said softly, "The First Consul heard that someone gave you an antique necklace yesterday, and specially ordered someone to give it to you."

She reached out and fiddled with the gold beads on the necklace. Although the heavy gold did not have the brilliance of diamonds, it had a simple texture. Perhaps it was discovered from an archaeological site.

She had heard Mrs. Talian say before that she could ignore him, which was what Josephine used to do.

If there is no "before", she may respond to him as happily as a loving little girl.

Even if they come out, they are still not free, after all, the entourage is guarding against her, a British female spy.

She was a little upset, and picked up a pen to write on the letter paper.

I imagined that picture,
In the scent of myrrh, in the scent of lotus, the breeze fills the sails,
I lie drunk under the sails, the pyramids are on the shore,
Do you think the river is calm at the moment?
In your opinion is the sail controlling the wind, or is the sailboat sailing with the wind?
I compare myself to a sedge, which is shaped like a reed and sways in the wind.

what do you think you aremy lion.

After finishing writing, she suddenly felt her teeth sour. Is this something she can write?
She was about to tear it up, but Ferrier pulled it away, and then she ran to Constance's side, urging him to take the letter and leave quickly.

"Come back!" she yelled angrily, but Constance ran away in a hurry.

She glared at Feilier, and Feilier looked terrified, but made it clear that she was not afraid of her.

As a lady, you have to be reserved, and it is correct not to respond.

Georgiana regretted it.

Why did she write that shit article.

She stomped away from these hateful people, but it caused a series of laughter instead.

She returned to the small table just now and covered her ears.

Anyway, if you can't hear it, you can treat it as nothing happened, and they laugh how they want.
