Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2281

People in this era don't know the Suez Canal. The canal built by the Egyptians at a heavy price has undergone complicated conversions, but the ownership of the canal is not in their own hands. The ownership of the canal must be transferred through revolutionary means. take back.

Napoleon had just raised 4 million francs in Antwerp, part of which he could embezzle to buy the operation and ownership of the Mechelen railway, which during the French Revolution was the seat of the Belgian Supreme Court.

The Belgians' evaluation of the rulers is actually very simple, that is, whether their life has improved. Whether it is Margaret of Austria or Empress Maria Theresa's governance is quite popular, and Charles VI established Ostende In addition to opening up Asian trade because of the lobbying of the Dutch, the company also aimed to solve the economic difficulties in the southern Netherlands.

The once-prosperous Bruges has indeed become a lot more depressed, and even the money for the Qingtao Canal has to be raised slowly.

It is too close to London, and the Hanseatic League has also withered. The former handicraft alliance has become a food export-oriented. The food crisis in France and the United Kingdom this time was caused by the reduction in food production in the Baltic Sea.

With the advent of peace in general, the "fishing law" will no longer apply, which means that merchant ships no longer need to take the risk of transporting "enemy goods" when transporting supplies.

The insurance regulations of each insurance company are different. If a ship is "fished", it is very likely that the promissory note of a small businessman will not be cashed. It promoted the circulation of bills of exchange and the development of trade, and also contributed to the international trade system centered on London.

Facing such a behemoth, little Bruges really looks hard to win.

Securities with representative equity and creditor's rights can be compensated with toll taxes. Anyway, these "sharks" must have their own ways to obtain inside information. Didn't Talleyrand also receive diplomatic inside information and earn a lot of money by purchasing Austrian bonds at a low price? Did you make a fortune?

There is no provision in the law that prohibits Talleyrand from doing this, and he did not leak the secret, but only took advantage of bad information, which is similar to Rothschild’s operation after Waterloo. In addition, there is also a trust system that replaces the joint stock company, which is also not prohibited by the law. In terms of rights, everything that the law does not prohibit people from doing is considered to be allowed. This is freedom without prohibition.

Conscription was not a pleasant experience for British citizens. Craftsmen hoped to transform or invent new machines through their own technology and become industrial leaders like Watt, Soho and Birmingham. It is impossible for a sane person to want to join the army.

The situation in France is the opposite. There are indeed deserters. They get married early or have their teeth pulled out, but they are a minority. Napoleon gave those soldiers a sense of honor. They are no longer "untouchables" like Russian serfs. Forced to join the army, but Defender of the Fatherland, and his medal of the Legion of Honor, although some people don't take it seriously.

The Archbishop of Liege once made a distinction between obedience and allegiance. He said to the king: To the Pope we must obey, but to you we must be allegiance.

Within the church hierarchy, people must submit to a higher authority, but only if the former must be infallible.

People thought highly of Louis XIV in European affairs, but Parisians did not appreciate him, and many complained that the King spent much more money in Versailles than in Paris.Fouquet, that is, the Minister of Finance who was dismissed because his residence was too luxurious, he was sentenced and went through a long trial. Although he was tried for corruption, as time went on, the Parisians raised more and more respect for him. Because the people hate the ruthless than the corrupt chancellor of the exchequer, Kolbe, who established the tax collector association and condoned the corruption of the tax collectors under him.

Taxpayers only need to hand over a certain amount of taxes to the royal family, but not everyone can become a taxpayer, and royal authorization is required.The tax system was also popular in the Mughal Empire, which was brought by the French. Many feudal lords lived extravagantly, which led to a lot of loan sharks. The usurers gained the power of the feudal lords to collect taxes, and they could levy exorbitant taxes on farmers at will.

The peasants tightened their trousers, but the king and his mistresses lived a life of luxury. There was also a red wine pool in St. Cloud, which was used for bathing in red wine. It was said that it could maintain the skin and make the skin white and tender.The wine growers who brew red wine can only drink "wine" that is mixed with water and has a slightly sour taste when washing the bottle.

Many women hate Georgiana because she said that if anyone is like Jeanne in the necklace incident, she will not only whip Jeanne, but also leave a striking mark on her face, so that people When you see her, see the scars on her face first, not the expensive jewelry.

This is illegal and an abuse of lynching.Horas killed his sister's lover, and he killed his sister in a rage, and said, "Go to hell, since you have forgotten your brother who died in battle and the living country, and you have forgotten your motherland, you are pregnant with your mistakes. Go and meet your fiancé." What he did was violating the most basic law, and no one should be killed at will without trial, but who would punish the hero who just defended the city-state?

In the last referendum, the people granted Napoleon the right to pardon. As long as he pardons Georgiana, she will not be punished by any secular law. "Jeanne" can only curse her to be condemned and go to hell.

The French Revolution defined witchcraft charges as imagined crimes, which are inadmissible. If the "Jeanne" curse is successful according to the British "Witchcraft Act", she will be sentenced and may be hanged, George It is also a good deal for Anna to be sentenced to prison for one or two years.

Fortunately, France does not believe in theocracy or witchcraft, and there are no allegations of witchcraft in the civil code. Joseph II wanted to eliminate the clauses about witchcraft in the code, but the Belgians refused.

This is not the right to resist because they do not intend to serve the king, the peasants are loyal to the king, but have no sense of law, there are many rumors that will spread like wildfire, all he needs to know is that an enlightened monarch can give a fair sentence is enough .

During the reign of William III, the sun king Louis XIV was a model of masculinity, and the king needed to have many mistresses.But William III had only one recognized mistress, who was the dowry maid of Mary II, and he was then considered a homosexual, and was accused of having a close relationship with a very handsome male waiter.

Some people think that this is the malicious slander of the James Party, but it has nothing to do with William III's attitude towards Mary II. He is too cold. Although he has always been taciturn and cruel to others, he has nothing to do with Mary II This may be because of his mother, who always quarreled with her grandmother after she married to the Netherlands, so William III had a prejudice against all Stuart women, and felt that Mary II also needed strict discipline.

Since he wants a dignified and generous lady at all times, she can do it too. She will suppress herself like Albus. He didn't tell her until he died that he was gay, and his lover was Grindel fertile.

Caroline said that she was not like a wizard, and she was indeed not. Wizards would use magic to retaliate, but she forgave him. No matter how many mistresses he had in the future, at least he could use them to prove that he was not a homosexual.

While she was explaining to Coraline, Ferrier came in, saying that Edgeworth was coming, and bringing a friend.

So the lessons in the small law lecture hall were suspended, and they went downstairs to meet the guests, and their eyes were easily attracted by the man next to Edgeworth.

The man had an average appearance, with a round nose, but his standing posture was ugly. This was not because he lacked manners, but because he seemed to have some kind of handicap, requiring a cane to stand.

"Let me introduce. This is Mr. William Wilberforce. He is a Member of Parliament representing Yorkshire and a friend of Prime Minister Peter." Edgeworth introduced.

"It's the former Prime Minister, my friend. You don't need to introduce him when you introduce me." The gentleman held out his hand to Georgiana. "It's an honor to meet you."

Georgiana looked at his hands, and if kisses had seemed novel to her at first, handshakes seemed rare to her now.

"It's an honor to meet you too." She reached out and took the other's hand back.

"Come on, please look at this." After letting go, he took out a small box from his cloak, which looked a lot like the box for a diamond ring in a wedding proposal.

"What are you doing?"

"Your Christmas present, Countess of Aberdeen, is from the 'Diamond Kid'."

Georgiana knew she shouldn't laugh, but she laughed anyway.

"Please also tell 'Diamond Kid' that I dare not accept this Christmas present from him."

"You're scared?"

"afraid of what?"

"Someone will be angry about it."

Georgiana shook her head.

"I just thought it was supposed to be a wedding present, not a Christmas present."

"So what would you like for Christmas?"

"Who are you? Santa Claus?" she asked in surprise.

"I can't do that job." He pulled the cloak back a little, revealing the orthotics. "The chimney is straight, and my spine is curved, so I might not be able to get in."

She didn't ask whether it was nature or nurture, when Edgeworth motioned everyone into the living room.

She wanted to see what tricks this congressman was going to do.
