Harry Potter Morning Light

The biggest disadvantage of flat-bottomed boats is that they have no keel and no strong center spine. Although they can transport people and goods in shallow water, they are quite challenging to maneuver.

Britain is not without punts, but punts are mainly used for entertainment, such as the Oxford and Cambridge University rowing teams. Unlike the muddy rivers in Belgium, the Thames River flowing through Oxford has a clear bottom, and there are swans and wild ducks swimming in the river.

Rivers full of silt and sand represent undercurrents. This kind of natural river is not an artificial canal after all. It requires superb sailing skills, and it is not easy to find such sailors. Of course, another method can be used, technological innovation, which requires professional designers to design.

Georgiana wanted to spend money on this, but the situation at the University of Rouen yesterday made her disillusioned. The charter to open the school has not been obtained, and the school building is also dilapidated.

Napoleon had to meet many people every day. If it wasn't for the accident yesterday, they would have already left for the next place. How could he have time to inspect the university built in the cemetery in the deep mountains and old forests.

Shaputal came here to tell her about this, after all, he is also an education committee member.

There are school inspectors in France, which was proposed by Talleyrand. This priest who went out to hunt for sex while he was studying in the seminary, now cares about other people's books.

School inspectors have a wide scope of supervision, including school buildings, teachers, students and discipline. Regardless of the debate between school inspectors and liberals, school inspectors are only concerned with supervision, not construction. The principal who greeted Georgiana yesterday is a philanthropist. He is not an authoritative scholar, nor is he a builder with a grand blueprint in mind. Of course, it is probably impossible to expect him to secularize the university and cooperate with local enterprises.

The Polytechnic University of Paris is cultivating talents around the needs of war, and supporting the University of Rouen is for the purpose of peace, or a deeper trade war.

The Methuen Treaty provided Britain with an undefended textile dumping market. If steel was really free from tariffs, it would also deal a devastating blow to local steel companies. France could not rely on British steel.

After going around for a long time, Shaputar still talked about this issue.

It is not so easy to go back on the written treaty. Georgiana used a tricky way to bypass the British "must" treat French wine and Portuguese wine equally.

Although there are fewer sharp disputes, France also has less excuses to legitimately retaliate and threaten other conditions.

In other words, it is precisely because Britain cannot treat French and Portuguese wines equally that the French can use this as a threat to put forward other conditions, such as giving priority to importing colonial goods from France instead of goods from other countries.

Schaptal spoke for the French. Why didn't he say that if Britain accepted the French conditions, it would lose the Portuguese market, and at the same time face high tariffs from France, and the textile industry would be devastated?

The word "threat" has been used. This is not a trade treaty for peace talks.

John Wilkinson, the owner of the steel mill who sent Georgiana’s British landscape painting before, was facing bankruptcy because he invested a lot of money in the development of hydraulic blowers in the early stage, and the steel he produced was of good quality but could not find a market. risks of. The steel for the repair industry expo venue this time is a big order. If he wants to swallow it, he needs to expand the production capacity. However, the British Bubble Act stipulates that he cannot form a joint-stock company for financing without a charter from the Parliament and the King.

The French bank can give him a loan, provided that he takes the patent as collateral. When Chaputal said this, Georgiana showed the same smile as Bonaparte yesterday.

As long as the patents and drawings are in hand, even if France loses part of the market in the early stage, it can build its own factories in the later stage, not to mention that the owners of the mines are former nobles.

Lavoisier is also a nobleman, but he is not a nobleman in Versailles. He and his wife have cooperated seamlessly, created many inventions, and made contributions to France and the world.

"The day before yesterday we didn't attend the ball in the art gallery, not because we didn't want to, but because we didn't receive the invitation letter." Shaputal said at this time, "Did you send it to us?"

"What?"

"I asked the president of the chamber of commerce and he told me he 'thought' the officials would be there with the first consul," Archbishop Cambacéres said.

"We thought that you would send us an invitation letter according to the rules in the palace." Shaputar said.

She looked at the two men.

"You guys think I'm all to blame?" She said in disbelief.

The two didn't nod, but their expressions said it all.

"Damn it!" She stood up, covered her forehead and thought for a long time, then looked back at the two of them, "Am I wrong?"

"We can't be so stingy." Shaputal said indifferently, "But some rules can't be messed up. If it's Josephine, even if she doesn't remember, the people around her will help her remember."

"Regarding the group you encountered yesterday, have you read the records of the Inquisition in Udine?" asked the Archbishop of Cambaceres.

"What do you mean?"

"I heard that you sent someone to translate the books brought from the church library, which contained a copy of the interrogation of the Udine Inquisition. Killed a lot of people, but the court still sentenced him to death, do you know why?" asked the archbishop.

Georgiana looked into his eyes.

"If we set a precedent, all wizards in the future will claim to help us, so as to avoid guilt. At that time, Cardinal Barbeni once explained that an impartial investigation should ask those doctors, even if some doctors because of inexperience. If the cause of death is judged to be unnatural and caused by evil forces, then other better doctors can judge whether it is natural or supernatural death after looking at the entire medical record, even if they have not personally treated these patients, it is this guideline Experience, the lord of all things, tells us that numerous bishops, parish priests, and inquisitors commit serious crimes every day in the trials of witches and sorcerers. wrong, which is contempt for justice, and discrimination against those women who are on trial."

"So, you sentenced 'him' to death?" Georgiana said in disbelief.

"I told you, if we set a precedent and let that person go, all the wizards will say that they are helping us." Cambacérez said, "If you want to uphold justice, don't distinguish between the enemy and the enemy."

"It's so hard," Georgiana said.

"The First Consul has always wondered why a married woman would be willing to be someone else's concubine. You are different from Nelson's Emma." Shaputal said, "Many people saw her shopping in London, if not You won't buy those jewelry and clothes during this trip, I think you don't have to bear the cost of the outfit yourself."

'Don't hurt yourself. '

She suddenly remembered what Bonaparte had said last night.

Looking at these two people again, I suddenly understood what was going on.

"Thank you for explaining it to me." Georgiana said calmly. "I feel better."

"Can you tell me how you came up with that idea?" asked Cambacérez.

She looked at the archbishop.

"You mean using wine as medicine?" she asked.

The Archbishop nodded.

"How do you believe that the Eucharist becomes the flesh and blood of the Son after consecration?" she said quietly. "When you believe the wine is the blood of the Son, it is, and when you drink the medicinal wine, you believe It’s medicine, it’s medicine, and if you believe it’s wine, you’re still wine. I originally wanted to paint the contents of the Bible on the bottles of medicinal wine to warn people to drink less. It seems that this is my wishful thinking again.”

The two old men laughed together.

"We will have another welcome party at Havel, and we look forward to your invitation letter then." Shaputal said.

"About the University of Rouen..."

"I'm sure the natives will figure it out," said the archbishop. "It's a pity you're only in Rouen for three days."

"To be precise, it was two days. I didn't stay in the city much yesterday." Georgiana said sullenly, "There is a soldier, I remember he has a daughter..."

"We will bury him," said the Archbishop.

"Where's his daughter?" asked Georgiana.

"I think she is more suitable to stay in Rouen." The archbishop said, "Compared to her, I would like to recommend another girl to you."

"who?"

"The daughter of the owner of this house, Leila du Renard, and I would also like to ask, when will the girls' school reopen?"
