Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1942 Egret Feather ([-])

George Washington freed all his slaves on his deathbed.

It's a pity that sometimes there is a gap between dreams and reality, and he can't free all the slaves.

Henry Petty and his colleagues also supported the abolition of slavery on the basis of destroying the economy of the United States, especially the South.

The more slaves, the more "mortgages". In another way of understanding, the more houses, especially the mansions, the more loans you can get from the bank.Many people will lose the ability to think after seeing a mansion, and make a wrong estimate of its value. In fact, maintaining a mansion also requires a lot of expenses.

Slaves are not like houses at this point. They can have children, and the children born are still slaves, and the old and weak slaves will die. The slave owner does not need to pay for "maintaining" them, as long as it is not a severe infectious disease. Let them die, and they could buy new slaves and get more loans.

This topic is very heavy, and Georgiana does not want to talk about it in the current atmosphere. The clever servant not only brought back the flute, but also called the band that was practicing at the Rouen Museum of Art. In the soothing music, Georgiana and Archbishop Sebastian and Mr. Martin sat in chairs drinking tea by a stained-glass window.

The Second Regent, Combastian, was known to be tactful, as was his brother.

The appointment of Leon Cours, a liberal aristocrat from Lafayette, as a high-ranking official in the Rhône was not entirely due to his previous role as Georgiana's guardian. He is a person who can clearly distinguish the situation, anyway, he can correctly distinguish between riots and revolutions.

But Leoncourt's performance in Rennes was a bit unsatisfactory. Fortunately, although he is a liberal nobleman, he knows how to "serve" like the nobles of the old system.

Bonaparte is not perfect, he also has his character weaknesses.He ordered the restoration of the royal gardens, many of which were in Paris, damaged during the Revolution.In addition, there is the church. Anyway, Bonaparte will do whatever he asks him to do, unlike the republicans or the third ruling Le Brun who love to issue "questions".

Compared with the interior, the church in Rouen did not suffer much damage, but the archbishop still received funds.

The archbishop was not interested in this, and he talked more about other issues in Rouen.

Britain is currently the world's largest industrial power, with coal output eight times that of Germany and ten times that of France, and steel output that is almost the sum of the output of other countries in the world, ten times that of Germany.

Germany and the current Swiss region mainly export cheap labor, and the textile industry in France is still labor-intensive, which means that there are many Protestants in Rouen.In addition, since the signing of the Amiens Peace Treaty, many bankers have directly or indirectly engaged in shipping-related industries, such as shipyards, but overseas trade is not as prosperous as they thought.This also led to a decline in the price of securities. In March, securities with 3% interest were worth 5% of the face value, which dropped to 65% in May. This also indirectly affected the livelihood of some families.

The number of people coming to church to pray has increased, and many of them are Protestants and Catholic families. Of course, this does not mean that Catholic families will not have family conflicts due to reduced income.

The transportation order of 200 million quintals of grain stimulated the sluggish shipping industry a little, and at the same time caused the price of securities to rise to the level of issuance, but it is hard to say whether there will be such a thing next year.

There are quite a few French people who don't like to engage in business, they prefer to engage in finance.In fact, the steam engine was first invented by the French in 1769. Its inventor was an army technical officer. In 1776, Watt showed the working state of the steam engine to the world.

In fact, while Napoleon raised tariffs to protect local industries, he also provided various assistance to the country's industry and commerce, such as appropriating subsidies, granting subsidies, rewarding the use of machinery, etc., and also established a national industry incentive meeting.

Grabbing foreign markets with the British is tantamount to pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth. Opening up closed rural areas and allowing self-sufficient farmers to start consuming industrial products is also a way to promote the economy.However, Catholic priests can't drive a carriage like American priests, preaching and selling things at the same time.

A new problem has arisen again. Businessmen will not drive large carriages to closed areas or areas where bandits are rampant. They are not missionaries and will not go to unprofitable places.The Spaniards had faced similar problems before, where the countryside was empty. The king and his advisors hoped to create the ideal community. As part of their road strategy, they built a road along the wilderness of Seville. .However, their new roads have attracted not only tourists, but also robbers, both in the Monte Morena and in the west of Cordoba.

This workhouse takes in women and children first, because they are "harmless". Male refugees are dangerous from a certain point of view, and how to deal with them is a problem.

The British approach was to send them to the colonies to open up wasteland, such as Australia or something. In theory, those ships engaged in shipping could also send them to the French colonies.But the Catholic Church wants sinners to repent, and Bishop Cambaceres hopes to provide support in this regard.

Georgiana told the bishop about her plan to expand the cider factory and increase pastoral areas, but he pursed his lips and did not respond immediately.

Brittany's climate is close to that of England, the wine production is not high, and the apple trees are not picky about water and soil, and the climate is also suitable...

In addition, planting apples requires a lot of money. Even though apples are a high-yield fruit tree with strong adaptability to soil, and can be cultivated in thin hills, river beaches, sandy deserts, and even mildly saline-alkaline places, it also requires the guidance of technical personnel to survive. rate can be increased.

Those who sell saplings don’t care whether you buy them back to grow them or not.

First of all, grazing needs to improve the discrimination of farmers against herdsmen. No one will want to engage in an industry that is discriminated against. In short, it is a plan that you think is correct and feasible, but there will be a lot of problems when it is actually implemented.

She asked Ferrier to organize and record all the topics discussed just now, and think about it later when she finds time, and then continued to visit the "garden".

There is also a botanical garden in Rouen, but it is on the left bank of the Seine, a little far from the art museum. From the shelter, you can walk to the old market square, where there are many shops selling fresh goods.

These teas, cloths, and plants are all from Southeast Asia, and it is self-evident what the people of Rouen think.

The Suez Canal can be repaired, provided that Britain abandons its layout in West Africa, which is another form of tooth extraction.

She pretended not to understand, and discussed the medicinal value and economic value of those flowers with Farron, and then she discovered vetiver.

This is a tropical plant native to India and Southeast Asia. It has strong adaptability, is resistant to cold and barren, has a well-developed root system, and grows quickly. It can not only be used as pasture, but its roots can also be used to make spices.

It is a pity that it is a tropical plant and cannot be widely grown in Brittany.

Just as they stopped to discuss in front of a Phalaenopsis, a soldier appeared at the door.

Georgiana knew him, the foolish messenger soldier who rode well.

As soon as he appeared, everyone looked at her, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked over.

"Ma'am, this is a letter from the First Consul." The fool said loudly.

She could hear whispers behind her without turning her head.

She stared at the fool for a while, opened the letter, and a scent of madder came to her face:

You shouldn't answer my letter because you take my mind away,
Please give me a kiss back, printed on the handkerchief just like last time, when I see it, I see you.

Police Georgiana felt that looking around, everyone turned their eyes away, as if they were concentrating on their work.

She glared at the letter, thinking whether to tear it up or set it on fire, and finally called Philier and told her to fetch a freshly bought floral handkerchief.

This is a specialty of Rouen. Ordinary handkerchiefs are pure white with white lace crochet edges. This kind of handkerchief with grass print looks like it was used by grandmothers. It has a pink background and a purple flower at each corner. little flowers.

The handkerchiefs that can be sold here are of course of good quality, but she is used to better quality handkerchiefs in the palace, so she doesn't want to use this kind of handkerchief at all.

She looked back at the women in the room. Although the theme of the dance tonight had been set, she wanted to change it.

"I want to buy a handkerchief, translucent like a cicada's wing, does anyone have one?" Georgiana asked.

"I have."

"I have."

Three female bosses spoke anxiously.

"Then let's go for a walk." She said with a smile.

"Where's your reply?" asked the foolish messenger.

Georgiana ignored him at all, and left the monastery surrounded by her.
