Chapter 1475 Female Broker

Although the remains of St. Geneviève are gone, her stone coffin should still be there. Napoleoni intends to use grand etiquette to send the patron saint of Paris to the St. Etienne Church, which is located in the Patriarch's Church. Opposite the temple, it is the same as when Georgiana saw St. Geneviève standing at the gate of the Pantheon in her dream. The premise is that the stone coffin of St. Geneviève must be found. Besides, Georgiana really does not know whether Fouché will "grate" her, which adds to his workload.

This should not be a difficult task for the police in Paris. After all, in the eyes of ordinary citizens, devils are cuter than policemen. The situation in rural areas is different. Farmers will gather together on market days to sell livestock and grain, and get After paying the money, drink a glass of wine at the market, inquire about some news or meet a few friends, dance to the sound of bagpipes, and catch up with recruits and mounted police who do not know who come to maintain order or chase fugitives. Fisting and kicking, and a severe beating, the resulting fight was almost uncontrollable. People in the city probably would not dare to think about beating a mounted policeman.

How could such a deterrent force the bakery to operate at a loss and borrow money to avoid bankruptcy?

A woman's reputation is extremely important. The chaste St. Genevieve was worshiped as a saint, and Josephine, because of her confusion, caused Napoleon no matter how many women she had, she could not be as big as an ordinary wife loose the temper.

If Georgiana really had any scheming, it can be said that she suspected that Josephine was responsible for the poisoning this time. Napoleon would probably protect her because of his past relationship, and finally let it go.

What good would it do Georgiana to force them to divorce? She would not be so foolish as to think that she could replace Josephine and become Queen of France. Today's Josephine might be her future self, and she valued other things more than playing these tricks.

Whether it was the Girondists in the French Revolution or the British government during the Irish Famine, they took a laissez-faire approach, which clearly failed.

According to Turgot’s estimation, Europe’s food transportation capacity is 5 million quintals, half of which are shipped to France in peacetime, and now with Godoy’s 2 million quintals of food, almost the whole of Europe is transporting food for France, plus Organized by the British folk themselves, as well as the North American fleet, it seems that everyone is doing food business.

Even if Napoleon exempted British steel from taxes, it would not be possible to avoid much under the condition of limited transportation capacity. On the contrary, goods as light as silk would be transported away by empty ships. Even though they know that extravagance is not a good habit, people who have made money want to be happy. Viscounts and barons in the English countryside also want to go out to high society. Whether it is for an affair or seeking an official position, they all need decent clothes. On the ancient Silk Road, silk could be used as currency. Like gold and silver and other precious metals, it has the characteristics of small size and high value. She believes that the British will find a trade deficit soon.

The cabin is very stuffy, and the Porto wine transported from Portugal to the UK will be fermented again in the middle. In order not to affect the taste, the wine merchant will add brandy to it, which leads to the higher alcohol content of Porto wine than Bordeaux wine. Stouts and lagers are also taxed differently in England, even though they are both wines.

The French taste the taste, the British civilians drink the alcohol, and they are obsessed with the pleasure brought by the drunken state, leaving all troubles behind. The hope Bordeaux and Porto wine proposed by Chaputal It is almost impossible to enjoy the same treatment.

She wrote a letter to the Minister of the Interior, asking Matilda to deliver it to him, and asking her to buy him a bottle of whiskey on the way.

Even a capable person like Chaputal has areas that he is not good at. For example, he is far inferior to Gabriel Ufral, a speculator, in the matter of buying food.

Although Britain and France are only separated by the English Channel, they don't know each other very well. In fact, there are only a few areas in France where there is no rotation of cultivation mentioned by Lyoncourt, and the Bordeaux area is one of them. Local farmers use manure to fertilize the soil, and then cultivate continuously.

Normandy is also in the west of France. According to Mardan de Chasilon’s reply, the local people accepted the rotation of farming very quickly. This may be because they often deal with the British. Conservative, there are very few people who are willing to engage in this industry, mainly because they will be ridiculed and ridiculed by certain social classes in France.

There is a chalk plateau near Normandy. The Bray area is a clay land zone in the plateau. The local water and grass are abundant, and the life of the herdsmen is very comfortable, but the transportation is inconvenient. The farmers will laugh at the herdsmen for being lazy. It seems that holding celebrations and feasts is a crime. what a sin.

The butchers in Paris brought the cows from Normandy for only 6 weeks. These unweaned calves are all bulls. Unlike cows, they can produce milk to make butter, and the butter produced in the Bray area of ​​​​Normandy will also produce milk. Supply to Paris, not to England across the channel.

If humans eat potatoes, pigs have no feed, and sending them to the forest for acorns doesn't solve much.

Georgiana wants to repair a track, bring in mowers and balers, bale the excess pasture in the Bray area, and ship it to the interior with butter to solve the problem of lack of pasture in the interior.

The export of wine strives to use convenient and cheap means of transportation, and reducing the price of pasture also reduces transportation costs.

Wine is elegant and luxurious, and it is a role that adds luster to the banquet. People respect it and write poems about it, as if this is civilization.

The prerequisite for human beings to maintain civilization and rationality is to have a full stomach. If you are hungry, you will eat anything. There was a cannibal famine in Central Europe. What civilization and etiquette are you talking about at that time?

Catastrophe and famine are not the same thing. Even if there is a disaster year, if the country operates properly, then famine can be avoided.

Famines, on the other hand, may be caused by humans, and war conscripts are part of it. Farmers let the wheat grow and ripen in the fields, but do not harvest it, or sell it in the market, which will also cause food shortages.

A large amount of grain imports cannot solve France's 50 million quintals of grain demand, and it is still up to the French to save themselves. Even with widespread planting, the changeable weather is unpredictable. In January, it suddenly became as hot as April in the new spring. Who knows if the temperature will suddenly drop when the wheat blooms, and the bees will not come out to move, and it will be in vain for the wheat to bloom.

That friend of Poitvin's, Jill Goebel, dabbled not only in the realm of "geniuses," but also in food intelligence gathering because of his recommendations on how to grow potatoes. The principle of grain is only sold in the public market, as long as the transportation is convenient, the farmers will transport the grain to the market according to the regulations. But there are many factors restricting this seemingly simple matter. One is the road conditions, the other is the robbers, and the third is the tax card. After arriving at the market, the official designated staff will match them up. These brokers are mainly women.

In general, grain in France will not be backlogged for more than two years, which is determined by the storage method. Wheat stored for too long will not only cause insects, but also may form ergot bacteria in the flour like Salem. People who eat this kind of bread may There will be erratic behavior and even fatality.

The tax collector allows them to pay part of the tax with grain, and these farmers pay with old grain, but the price is still calculated according to the price of new grain. If it is calculated according to the "valuation as it is" in the market, it is not worth that much at all. money.

These tax collectors go to the commune to collect taxes, which saves the farmers the cost of going to the public market, but also makes the farmers less fun of "going to the market". It is no wonder that the nobles, rich people and priests in the old days forced them to sell their harvest .

All flour has the characteristics of being intolerant to transportation. The loss of flour is much greater than that of wheat. Therefore, cities must set up mills nearby. There are many mills in the suburbs of Paris. Because it is not far from the source, the current is turbulent and can also provide power to the water mill.

In the summer of 1789, because the water level dropped, the flour production center of Étampes was temporarily suspended. For this reason, Louis XVI gave up the large-scale fountain show scheduled for the Saint-Louis Festival in Versailles.

Perhaps this was one of the reasons why the price of bread climbed before the outbreak of the Revolution.

Georgiana had never thought about it before reading the materials compiled by Gobert. Even if the aqueduct was built, the water in the aqueduct would freeze in the cold winter of Paris. Freezing also provides power to flour millers in the wheat market.

This is what engineers think about.

So she wrote another letter to Bronniard, telling him to settle the matter.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, Georgiana intends to use the bank to escort paper money and gold, and let the mounted police escort food, from the warehouse to the market, and from the market to the mill and bread oven, according to the amount of cash held by a single person rather than him. Divide the bread evenly.

There was also a famine in the Eastern Roman Empire. At that time, the government’s approach was to provide food to the “Romans” first. In addition to the legal clause that forbids divorce, the Civil Code also stipulates that every French citizen should hold an ID card. Foreign residents with a certificate, such as women who marry into France from other countries, should also have a marriage certificate and family certificate, and they can buy a limited amount of bread with this certificate.

She needs to find a pilot city outside of Paris.

She wrote the proposal on a typewriter that didn't work very well. Maybe it would be buried and forgotten among Napoleon's piles of papers, but she really liked the feeling of "working".

And the lumber factory, which she had hoped to be great, is now in trouble.

The new British Royal Navy Minister St. Vincent stopped shipbuilding and fired the shipyard workers. The shipyard’s timber suppliers suddenly ran out of stock, and almost all the wood in the UK could be cut. The timber used for shipbuilding had to be imported. She doesn't plan to intervene until she finds out the right and wrong, because the French also have forest land and can use their own wood, so they don't need to import Russian ones.

Therefore, Talleyrand's opportunity to get inside information and redeem bonds at a fair price is really once in a lifetime. There is no follow-up trouble, and profits are made again.

She had a good idea, and wanted to earn some private money from the timber factory.

The living expenses of 500,000 a month are gone, and the living expenses of 50,000 are still available. Under the shell of generosity, Bonaparte is a very budget-conscious petty bourgeoisie. If you catch a girl, you still need to do the same as before you got married. Are you generous?

"Bad stuff." She cursed while typing.

Other girls' fingertips were beating with the sound of musical notes, but her fingertips were the sound of a typewriter.

Before the beginning of summer was over, she was thinking about winter, how time flies here, and it will be a year in a blink of an eye, when will Severus come to her?
