Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1973 Behind closed doors (seven)

Ifto is a downstream city of Rouen's textile industry. In other words, it is a large factory that supplies yarn strands to Rouen.

The kind of spinning wheel in the museum is to twist loose wool and cotton into one strand, that is, spinning thread. The spinning jenny can spin several cotton threads at a time, but each cotton thread is a single strand, and several strands of yarn must be spun Twisted together to form stranded strands, the strands are strong enough to weave.

There are many ways to dye fabrics, ranging from dyeing whole pieces of white cloth in dye to dyeing strands. Early in the morning, the senior French officials went to visit the local factories. In fact, they could live in a more comfortable place yesterday. Mrs. Barryon knew many rich local businessmen, and she could arrange for them to live in their homes at any time.

But, as Matilda sourly said at breakfast, it was an honor to live in Versailles, even if the little suite they were allotted had no access to the marble courtyard and no windows.

Georgiana is well aware that she is not a lesbian, but she met Miss Chamorro in Lyon, she is a famous gay, so Georgiana became a British lesbian spy in rumors.

This is not too much, and there is also the scandal between Napoleon and Hortans. At that time, it was said that Georgiana almost believed it.

Louis is not in good health. He is a very gentle man, but he also participated in the Portuguese war with Leclerc, but he did not go to the front line, because he had a small illness, and he did not know how it became a chronic illness. He went to a hot spring to recuperate on the way up.

Napoleon pinned his hopes on Louis, a bit like an old father in the country, hoping that his son would study hard and have a good future, not only changing his own destiny, but also bringing glory to the family.

Even if the stepfather and stepdaughter are not related by blood, it takes a thick skin to be able to marry a mother and daughter like Marquis de Sade. If placed in the 21st century, if this kind of scandal is confirmed to be true, the stepfather will go to jail.

In order to maintain her own marriage, Josephine sold her daughter's marriage, just like Rose's mother in Titanic married her daughter to an American steel tycoon.

She was sometimes pissing people off, and other times she made people feel that she was okay to get along with. Who could stand Georgiana as a normal woman?

If it was Josephine, would she visit the textile factory?

Georgiana looked at the misty grassland, which looked almost the same as England, except for Mr. Darcy walking towards Elizabeth in the morning light.

In Jane Austen's novels, marriage seems to be the end of the story, but in fact it is just the beginning.

The hermit life in the wilderness is so easy because there is no Lily, whether it is in his heart or the people around him.

No one told her that Severus' true love was Lily, no one agreed that he could continue to entangle with a married woman, and that James Potter was superfluous.

Georgiana returned to her desk and sat down to write. She is still willing to give that girl a chance, after all her father has already given his life.

But now it was too late for her to go to Belgium with Georgiana, she went directly to Paris, but whose house would she be placed in?

She first thought of the Duke of Leoncourt, but someone came before she could think about it.

It was Mrs. Barryon who came in. Sometimes you have to admit that a banker's wife is very different. Mrs. Barryon has made herself a housekeeper.

The last time Mrs. Leiss came to her as a secretary, Mrs. Leiss left after only a few days, who made Georgiana just a mistress.

How long does a man's love last? Of course, marriage contracts and religious weddings are reliable, not to mention that the new civil code stipulates that divorce is not allowed at will.

"Madam, Monsieur Casimir Pierre Perrier, owner of the Perrier Bank, and Monsieur Farron."

"Let them come in." Georgiana handed the unfinished letter to Mrs. Barryon. "There is a girl, and I want to arrange a suitable place for her."

"I see." Mrs. Barryon took the letter with a smile, turned and left.

It didn't take long for Matilda to bring the two of them to the small chapel she used as a temporary reception room.

Cloths from Rouen adorned the deserted chapel, and restored it to religious solemnity with solemn colours. These were made by Belldan overnight. They are easy to hang up and easy to remove. This is the inspiration she got from the meeting with Jin Jinyuan. Even a temporary tent cannot be crude.

In addition, there is only one small table and three chairs in the entire chapel. The whole space is very empty, and the sound of footsteps can even echo.

Farron and the young man named Casimir Pierre Perrier bowed to her in such silence that the rustling of the cloth could be heard.

"What do you want from me?" asked Georgiana.

"I heard from Minister Shaputal that you plan to promote the cooperation between universities and local enterprises." Perrier said, "I have exactly the same intention."

"What's the meaning?"

"My family has a coal mine in Angzan. The coal mine is like a gunpowder factory. If there is a little spark, it will explode, so we need special raking equipment to increase production capacity." Perrier explained.

She froze for a moment.

"What's a rake?" she asked.

Perrier spread out the blueprint under his arm in front of Georgiana.

She took a look, and the rake that Perrier said was a bit like a funnel, she thought that the mine only needed a car to transport ore.

"It is strictly forbidden to use steel wire ropes for this kind of machine, so as to avoid sparks generated during the friction process and cause gas explosions." Perrier said.

Georgiana looked at the delicate technique of the drawing, "Is this drawn by Luke?"

"He is like some engineers, full of 'unrealistic fantasies', do you think the buildings he designed can be realized?"

Georgiana smiled and said, "Have you seen him?"

"We want to buy some British equipment," Perrier said.

"You can say it in business negotiations."

“There are a lot of bankers in our country who think that we shouldn’t give too much money to industry, and that induces us to overproduce, which leads to dangerous expansion,” Perrier said.

Georgiana looked at the young man.

"Too many people, especially the middle class, blindly invest in the cotton weaving industry, which will destroy those who have survived in this industry for forty or fifty years."

"What do you suggest?"

"I hear that you intend to establish farms and ranches in Brittany."

"Forget it, it's impossible," Georgiana said.

"Why?" Perrier said.

"Bovine TB is zoonotic."

"What about sheep tuberculosis, is it also contagious?" Farrong asked.

Georgiana was left speechless by the question.

"You can't raise cattle, but you can raise sheep." Farrong said, "Wool can also be spun."

"I remember you have a pet sheep named Sean, why is it called that name?" Perrier asked.

Because the black-faced Valais looks exactly like Shaun the lamb.

She smiled and sighed, "This is your real purpose?"

"Normandy people don't regard the textile industry as a lifelong career, they just regard it as a means of making money and improving their social status." Perrier said, "If you have visited it, you will know that the textile industry here is the largest and most expensive in France. Lagging."

"You didn't visit with them either," said Georgiana.

"I started a month earlier than you. Would you like to hear how I feel? I don't feel the passion of the British mills here. They think work is a process that has to be endured. They prefer to work for a while." After time, I went to live a "vegetable life" and regarded retirement as the dawn of life." Perrier said angrily, "If necessary, they will sell their company, and even liquidate their company, and then They just slapped hands and walked away. They didn't work hard to market their products. There are more and more factories, and the conflict between employers and employees is also increasing. You can't just see that the number of factories has increased now and think it is prosperous. .”

"What do you suggest?" Georgiana asked.

"Please convince the First Consulate to impose tariffs on imported steel, even if it is to restore normal tariffs, otherwise our loans will be considered toxic and this will affect our credibility," Perrier said.

"Do you remember? On April 18, 1791, the king insisted on celebrating Easter with the priests who refused to take the oath. Most of the time, the king was merciful, but he was tough once that day, and the queen did not dissuade him." Farron said.

"You're threatening me?" Georgiana asked.

"I thought you could listen to suggestions." Perrier said, "Under the temptation of huge profits, not many people can stay awake. This trade agreement is just like what I told you before. It only needs a little spark." It will explode."

Georgiana suddenly understood why Henry Petty was not panicking.

Just like the Americans, if you stop still, the solution to the problem will come out by itself.

"How old are you?" Georgiana asked.

"25 years old."

"Are you married?"

Perrier didn't answer.

"You can also come to Harvard's party, remember to bring a dance partner." She said again, "What do you think of Alice who keeps the jewelry for me?"

"I thought she would agree to Lord Petty's invitation," said Perrier.

Steel and coal, you are a perfect match.

Georgiana sighed, "Look at me, do you think it's easy?"

"There are also transnational marriages that are easy and happy." Perrier said, "You just chose a difficult path."

Or rather, I chose a difficult one.
