Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 1356 Jumping Numbers
Georgiana did not go to count the "state-owned assets" as the "great man" said, but went to the Notre Dame Victorious Church not far from the Louvre.
Although this place was turned into an exchange by the Directorate, she still had sweet memories here, where she kissed a military school boy, and she was so stupid that she thought he would take her wherever she went, so she followed where.
Boys will grow up and princes will one day be kings.
To be kind to yourself, don't wear the crown of thorns.
She should have said that, but she was afraid to say it.
The Duke of Orleans is a blood relative of the Bourbon royal family. When Louis XVI needed his help the most, he stood in front of the throne of the regent and did not disperse the crowds that prevented Louis XVI from returning to Paris.
This blood relative is not as good as an outsider.
The relationship between the members of the Bonaparte family was not harmonious, but they were very united when they were poor, but they went further and further apart after they became rich.
In chess, the queen is a stronger piece than the king, but Georgiana positions herself as a follower rather than a leader, and she is not that keen on power.
The "historical" Duke of Orleans did later become the king of France. If he was also a member of the royalist party and Britain continued to protect him in this way, the tie would indeed be difficult to save.
Her mind was in a mess, and a person suddenly appeared beside her.
"We also want peace talks." Granit said in English, "Do you know how much domestic gold and silver have appreciated?"
"Do you think I'm the sort of well-informed person?" she said angrily.
"Look." Granit took out a money bag from his pocket, which contained a pile of French coins.
"This is the gold louis, and this is the franc." Granit pointed to the two coins in his hand and said, "Now the legal currency is the franc, but the gold louis is still in circulation. One louis is about 24 francs, even if there are several francs." This one with the rooster is from the Mint of Paris, this one with the hexagonal star is from the Mint of Marseilles, this one in the shape of a horse is from Geneva, and this is our coin."
Granit took out the British pound and pence. "If you let currency collectors evaluate, the French coins are not as good as the British coins."
"You want to say that France's finances are not as sound as Britain's?" Georgiana stared at the former finance minister.
"Our country adopts the gold and silver bimetallic system. Gold coins and silver coins are circulated in the market at the same time, but the price comparison between gold coins and silver coins is not based on the price comparison between raw gold and raw silver in the market, but according to the price comparison of gold and silver coins stipulated by law. For example, a gold guinea is equivalent to 21 silver shillings, but as the price of raw gold and raw silver rises, people will melt the more valuable currency in their hands and exchange it for lower value currency. For example, a piece of gold can be exchanged for 30 silver coins. People would melt their gin guineas and exchange them for silver coins, flooding the market with bad coins would seriously disrupt the order of the market, and Spain brought back so much silver from the New World that it didn’t make them rich overnight.”
"Is it what you think about buying national debt?" Georgiana asked again.
"French financiers are not fools. They also controlled the Directory in the past. At that time, the Directory issued banknotes. The person in charge of this matter did not know how much they printed. In January 1795, a louis d'or was worth 130 livres. In March it will be worth 227, and in September it will be 1200. Of course Addington will not be as intemperate as the French, but it will not benefit our two countries if the war continues like this."
"The king thinks that returning the colony will be enough?"
"The first ruler must be decent, and we must also be decent..."
"Do you think that the French will definitely not be able to cross the strait?"
"Which side are you on?" Granit said angrily.
"I did what you asked me to do, but you didn't do what I asked you to do. What do you think I should do?" She also became stubborn.
"If the guest wants to leave, we won't keep him. You should advise him how to let those exiles return to the country instead of complaining to me." Granit collected the money and stood up, "I thought you were useful .”
"He got mad at me today." Georgiana said coldly, "Don't think he's really Caesar or Antony, and I'm not Cleopatra."
"Of course you are not the Cleopatra he sealed in Egypt." Granit whispered, "There are many people who can see a person's appearance, but it is difficult to see his heart. The man you chose It’s not that good looking.”
She froze for a moment.
"Mr. Smith and Captain John have worked together." Granit smiled wryly, "Can you tell me what you like about them?"
"Brilliant," whispered Georgiana, "and a brave heart."
Granit was silent.
"But they have other women in their hearts." She said wearily. "It doesn't matter if they are busy with work and ignore me. I can find something for myself."
"And what do you think of me?" Granit asked.
"You buried your father while your brother was away in the service, even though he didn't leave you his title and fortune." Georgiana laughed. "You're a fool, Diamond Kid."
"I didn't think it would be to my advantage," Granit said with a smile.
"You're not like those politicians who win people's love through false promises." Georgiana smiled. "Your wife must be very happy."
"Are you flirting with me?"
Georgiana let out a laugh, but stopped smiling after being glared at by the other praying people.
"How about going for a walk with me?" he invited.
"No, he won't be happy," Georgiana refused.
"You describe him like that, which makes me think that the First Consul of France is a jealous husband."
"He's only 30 years old, how mature can you expect him to be?"
"I am also the Prime Minister at the age of 24. You should not judge the maturity of a person's soul by age." Granit said, "Admiration is maintained by kindness, but human nature is bad. At any time, as long as you are right If it is in your own interest, you will sever this bond."
"You also read Monarchism?"
"Even if you don't become Caesar, you should know Caesar, especially if he is your enemy."
Georgiana laughed and said nothing.
"We can talk about this next time we meet," Granit said with a smile.
She still shook her head.
"He doesn't even allow this little freedom of speech?"
"I can talk to you about Shakespeare and Cicero. I've been reading Cicero recently."
"Which one?"
The nun coughed twice, and she shut up.
Granit hesitated for a moment, and took advantage of this opportunity to leave.
He walked very fast, as if some monster was chasing him.
"Thank you for the reminder," Georgiana whispered, and she stood up and left the church.
"You little rascal." She murmured, Severus must have been with the spies, and she had also heard the story of Captain John, since he was no longer in France, he would be Sent to another country to perform missions "Why didn't you just ask him where the spy was sent?"
Why would she tell Granit they had other women on their minds? what's on your mind? Georgiana! Do you really want to be the Countess of Aberdeen that much?
The fourth Earl of Aberdeen was George Hamilton Gordon who launched the Crimean War. Legend has it that the Minister of Magic, who had a friendship with Queen Victoria, was involved in this war.
Gordon and Pete don't have the same last name, so he's married?
"Oh, you're hopeless," Georgiana wailed. "Don't you think you haven't gotten into enough trouble?"
