If you ask anyone at random how much it costs to ship a cargo from Malaysia to London, almost all ordinary people who are not engaged in the shipping industry cannot answer.

Similarly, compared with 23.3 million francs for 1 million quintals and 26 francs per quintal, the unit price seems to be cheaper than 1 million quintals.

However, this kind of 23 francs per quintal does not include the freight, but the food shipped from Spain to France includes the freight. The actual unit price of the purchased grain is 18 francs per quintal, and the remaining 8 francs are En route loss and freight generated.

Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu, not only used up the wealth accumulated by the rule of Wenjing, but also destroyed the domestic economy. His supplies were almost entirely dependent on the country. It is difficult to meet the enemy here.

Of course, this method of warfare would incur high military expenses, and Georgiana vaguely guessed what Napoleon's plan was.

This feeling is very strange, like Fred and George, you say the last sentence and the next sentence, as if it was said by one person.

When it comes to Napoleon and Egypt, apart from the pyramids and failed expeditions, it is the Suez Canal, which is a shortcut connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. With it, there is no need to bypass the Cape of Good Hope and West Africa.

How could the UK abandon the coastal ports in West Africa after so many years of operation, but if it is the high military and freight expenses, then the UK has to think about whether it wants to have colonies in India and South Asia.

On October 10, 1801, the ambassadors who signed the peace treaty at the Tuileries Palace were from Britain, Portugal, Russia, Turkey and the Papal States. Georgiana still remembered the crazy plan of Paul I that the wife of the Russian ambassador told her. He wants to order the Cossack cavalry to go south to invade India, divide Turkey's territory with Austria, and redraw the map of Europe.

The tsar's plan is too crazy and difficult to implement. In contrast, it is much simpler for Russia and Turkey to invade India from the west.

"Sudan" got along well with Mao Zedong. On the day of the signing celebration party, he put on the green uniform like an explorer again, as if the high-spirited young officer who had rushed back from Egypt to save the country had returned.

He didn't dance with anyone throughout the ball, but he didn't stop others from dancing, including the waltz.

William Pitt Jr. came too, but he still stuck to his full whiskers and pretended to be Thomas Granit.

Little William Pitt had many friends in the British business circle. Even though he was poor and owed huge debts, London business figures were still willing to give him 100,000 pounds, but he declined. Instead, he accepted the offer from his friends. With a loan of 12,000 pounds, he sold Holwood's mansion at the same time, and came to Paris with friends from the business world to talk about free trade.

William Pitt Jr. was a businessman in private. It is very common for diplomats to use their position to obtain information and make huge profits. The reason why he owed huge debts was because he liked extravagant banquets very much.

He wasn't interested in women, not that he was gay, he had an affair with Lord Oakland's daughter Eleanor Eden but was too poor to propose to her.

He was busy with state affairs and neglected his private affairs. The servants in Holwood Manor stole his things and made him in debt. Later, the king granted him a idle position with an annual salary of 3,000 pounds, and also gave him Walmer Castle. Being a mansion made his life easier.

He is a smart debater, but he is a member of the merchant class. He looks very polite and polite in social situations. Coupled with his handsome appearance, there are still many British people who have stayed in France. He has a good impression of him.

Cooking food was originally Georgiana's specialty, but Bonaparte let Mrs. Rémicard take charge. The fashionable food she prepared was very fresh to the British, but they were not as resistant as Georgiana thought. They were also willing to try something new things.

Her "task" was to decorate the ball scene. The silver satin fabric from Lyon completely covered the entire throne room, and then placed many sculptures from Egypt. There was a huge pyramid on the buffet table, whether it was Both the British and the French have been there, but none of them has heard of the story of Princess Ahmose of Thebes.

That was thousands of years ago. However, the hieroglyphs have not been deciphered yet. Both the British and the French are skeptical about this story that was made up from the mouth of His Excellency Bonaparte.

At this time, those Egyptian scholars rushed forward to rescue Napoleon. Although the book describing the history and humanities of Egypt has not been written yet, they have all this knowledge in their minds. The ladies who originally thought that the ball would be boring listened to their explanations. , Fascinated by that distant "Oriental Country", no one remembers that Britain and France once fought in Egypt.

Josephine was very unhappy throughout the ball, and it was her job as the "hostess" to arrange the ball venue in the Tuileries Palace, but now it was robbed by Georgiana and Juliet.

The reason why silk is so expensive in Europe is that camel caravans have to bring those fabrics back to Central Asia and Europe from distant Chang'an and Yangzhou, and they have to go through a lot of middlemen in the process, not to mention the expenses incurred on the way. The silk shipped to Rome was calculated on the basis of weight rather than length, and the price was a hundred times higher than that of the place of origin. Justinian tried his best to get rid of this trade deficit. Later, two Indian monks stole the silkworm eggs, and the silkworms were sold. Let Europe also have the ability to weave its own silk.

Lyon was favored, so evidently, that Lyon's mill owners were so keen to exclude their Italian rivals that the raw silk produced in Piedmont should be supplied only to them.

Mr. Martin also had Italian friends, but instead of bringing them, he talked to Georgiana about the withdrawal of the French troops from the Papal States, whose new quarters were in Piedmont.

Before the repair of the Seni Mountain Road, Nice was responsible for the import and export of raw materials. After the French colonies in Africa were recovered, the French cafes would become very lively again.

The current governor of Piedmont, Jourdan, is brave in wartime and indecisive in peacetime, lacking in bold and innovative spirit.

So Mr. Martin tentatively asked her, if possible, can she change to a governor?

As for Napoleon's method of dealing with those royalists, it is also very simple. The theory of the monarchy quoted "Levy's History": the common people are strong when they are united, and weak when they are scattered.

When the homeland of the Romans was destroyed by the invasion of the French, many Romans moved to Viai in violation of the decrees and orders of the Senate.

In order to save them from violating the order, the senate issued a proclamation ordering everyone to return to live in Rome within a certain time and subject to certain punishments.

The announcement caused ridicule at first, but then as the deadline approached, everyone obeyed.

Napoleon sent a deal to each of the nobles in exile, and if they didn't return sometime next year, their estates would be confiscated, and the country they were in exile would no longer support them.

Britain has writs of habeas corpus, a law that was suspended in 1794 when William Pitt, Jr. wanted to crack down on radicals and complicity with the French Revolutionary Party.

For example, if a woman is subjected to domestic violence, she can be protected through a writ of habeas corpus. Those exiled nobles who would rather lose all their property than return to France could apply to the English court for a writ of habeas corpus.

A figure like the Duke of Orleans would certainly not worry about income, but he would not have extra money to support his followers. No matter how much the Shu'an elements loved him, would he give up the family property for this kindness?

Compared with the 2 billion property of the exiles, the little property left by the church after the Great Revolution was not enough to take Polyonnes between his teeth, so his attitude towards Caprara's special envoy was extremely close, even if he was a Atheist.

The exiles who returned to the country will spend their days under the surveillance of the secret police and informers, and the trapped beasts will counterattack before they die. Georgiana remembers that the "Amiens Peace Treaty" was signed in 1802. This draft in 1801 The covenant did not come into effect.

So it's not too early to be happy.

Georgiana’s wooden track is not a new invention. It was widely used in British mines and iron smelting factories in the 18th century. However, due to the poor load-bearing capacity of the wooden boards, it was easy to be damaged. Later, people covered the wooden boards with iron sheets, and later changed them to It became flat rails, the wheels were flanged, and even steam locomotives were being designed.

This shows how primitive the European continent was by horse-drawn carts and wooden wheels.

Some of Pete's friends were in the steel business, and the investment in building the railway was huge, but the results brought about by the railway were also remarkable. Napoleoni began to wonder whether the exiles should return or not.

Georgiana placed an order first, intending to make tin cans, and the canned horse meat she had previously made was now being eaten.

She wants to start preparing before others notice the disaster next year.

After the citizens of Paris captured the Bastille, the Municipal Administration posted a notice at the gate of the Bastille. People who wanted to leave Paris needed special passes before the National Guard would let them go. It was said that 200,000 passes were issued at the time.

She wouldn't run away, but she wouldn't stay in Paris, full of famished starving people.

The municipalities were the first to be attacked, then shops and the homes of the wealthy.

The king couldn't protect himself, let alone the nobles. Fortunately, after some died and escaped, there were fewer noble families. Even so, the number of soldiers protecting them and standing guard for them was still reduced.

It also feels particularly unsafe to go to the Grand Trianon Palace, which is too close to Versailles, which feels very unlucky.

Since some people believe in Moreau so much, let him go to him for help.

Moreau will wait for the riots to calm down and come in to clean up the mess, and will not shoot at the mob like Napoleon to avoid worsening the situation.

This is his style, which Napoleon had learned in Italy before, and he always did what the enemy wanted him to do. This time, Moreau didn't come to the party, but Madame Récamier's husband came.

Bankers in Paris can stay at the National Bank, as can bankers in Lyon.

A woman does not interfere in a man's political affairs, and if she sees it, she will act as if she didn't see it.

As for the Arabian Nights plan in her mind, she will not tell the fellow British.

Who will believe it?

So she giggled throughout the party, looking like a "sweetheart".
