Harry Potter Morning Light

Honfleur is not far from Le Havre, just a boat ride away.

Unlike Le Havre, which is full of Italian style on the other side, Honfleur has many wooden buildings, which are somewhat similar to Rouen. It seems that this is the style of Normandy.

The small town is very quiet, and there are seagulls flying.

There is a red house next to the port, which is where the minister sent by Louis XIV lived, and Ludrer pointed it out to Georgiana.

This place is also the starting point for the discoverers of Quebec. On September 22, the eighth year of the Republic, Bonaparte presided over a ceremony to commemorate Desai and Kleber at the Victory Square. The ceremony was solemn and solemn, and the soldiers wore military uniforms. The square became a sea of ​​flags.

But the spectacle, while grand, was also boring, and Gallas wrote a 107-page speech he spent three hours reading from cover to cover, celebrating the generals who died, and a general who is still alive and well. .

He was about to fall asleep, but when he heard Gala read his name and stood side by side with those dead people, he immediately cast a murderous look.

"Nah!" Bonaparte said to the people around him after returning to the Tuileries Palace after the meeting.

The speech at the Les Invalides the next day became hosted by Lucien himself. They relocated the body of Louis XIV’s Grand Marshal Turenne from the Saint-Denis Cathedral, first buried in the Botanical Garden, and later buried Income to the Museum of French Monuments.

Lucien was much briefer at the ceremony, announcing the birth of a new great century and congratulating the heroes of today for extending a respectful hand to the heroes of yesterday, reuniting France with history and celebrating This is the day when France reformed its institutions and still continued its great march.

"That's the theme of tonight." Luderer said, "It doesn't need a grand banquet, but it needs to be grand enough. Don't you want to watch the fireworks?"

"Yes." She said dryly.

"Tonight's fireworks will be released tomorrow morning, and the place will be on the beach of Elephant Trunk Hill." Ludrell said, "It's not far from here. Would you like to see it?"

"On the next morning?" Georgiana said incredulously, "How many fireworks does it cost?"

Ludrell laughed, "More than the day when Queen Mary was welcomed into Paris, because I was afraid of accidents, I set the discharge point on the beach away from the crowd."

Georgiana took a look at the sky. It couldn't be considered a sunny day, nor could it be said to be completely cloudy. It probably wouldn't rain.

"The celebration of reunification with the United States is scheduled for 10 days after the Generalissimo's funeral. This event is different from the previous ones. Joseph was going to make a big fuss at Mont-de-Fontaine, with banquets, music, theater And fireworks, he also invited Depreo to be the master of ceremonies. He is a famous dancer and singer. Knives, no decorations on the table, so he put the stuffed animals in the attic, the red wine smelled like vinegar, and the pyrotechnician who was in charge of setting the stage and setting off the fireworks drank half of the glass, but luckily it was raining heavily, It didn’t stop until midnight, when the pyrotechnicians were more or less sober, and the show finally started, but that also meant guests had to line up in the mud, waiting for grim-looking guards to check their invitation cards.”

"That sounds awful," Georgiana couldn't help saying.

"May I ask what do those flowers mean on the invitation you sent us?" Luderer asked.

"I asked the manager of the hotel, there are gambling equipment from the previous casino in the basement..."

Luderer stopped in his tracks.

"As long as it's not gambling, it doesn't matter if you gamble a little." Georgiana explained, "He used to play cards with others."

Luderer couldn't laugh or cry.

"There will be waiters at the door, and they will not be able to play with you at the poker table according to the other flowers on your chest." Georgiana said.

"You're almost like Louis XIV's Versailles," said Luderer.

"I know, but there has to be some entertainment at the banquet." Georgiana said dryly. Hogwarts held a Yule Ball, and the Ministry of Magic also invited the Weird Sisters to help. Only Harry and Ron and their poor dancers sat at the banquet. Sitting at the table instead of dancing, the children told her afterwards.

And of course there was the old bat, who stood there like a black hole, sucking all the light out.

"There are people who go to play cards, and people who are not interested in playing cards?" Luderer asked.

"Aren't there fireworks to watch?"

"I hear you have invited Robert Peel, Jr."

Here comes the point.

Georgiana smirked, "What was the arrangement at the reconciliation party with the Americans?"

"They should have taken stomach pain medicine before they came, and even when there were actresses sitting next to them, they looked serious," Ludrer lamented, "and bands that weren't very skilled, playing revolutionary songs they didn't like. "

"Sounds bad," Georgiana said.

"No, it's not the worst." Luderer shook his head. "When Despreau put the actors on stage, they refused to be handled like servants. He had to sing a song himself."

Georgiana was struck by lightning.

"It was you who made a simple welcome party so grand." Ludrell said, "Who is the master of ceremonies tonight?"

"I never thought about it!" Georgiana said honestly.

Luderer laughed, as if gloating.

"Can you do me this favor?" said Georgiana at once.

"Nobody thinks I'm a good master of ceremonies, and of course Dilloch, I hear you nicknamed him 'British'."

"How do you know?" said Georgiana, surprised.

"You called him that involuntarily several times, and I dare say you do, don't you?"

Georgiana was speechless.

"I have a candidate, Monsieur Moreau de Saint-Méry, who is also an excellent party organizer," said Ludrer.

"I thought it was someone else's place," Georgiana said.

"Last time, you thought, I thought, there was a misunderstanding in the end." Luderer said.

"Okay." Georgiana glanced back at the members of the guard following behind, and called one of them to send a message to Mr. St. Merry.

"And the empty house just now, you don't think it's a pity that it has been empty." Ludrell said.

Georgiana looked back at the red house where the officials appointed by Louis XIV lived.

"I don't think you should tell me such a thing," said Georgiana.

"And Father Dupuy?" said Ludrer.

"What is his office?" asked Georgiana.

"The president of the University of Rouen, and he may also be the mayor of Rouen." Ludrell said, "We can all see that this tour does not really encourage the development of local industries, but you have given us a new way of thinking. "

"I'm very worried that this will cause land enclosure or other social conflicts." Georgiana said.

"Martin de Chasillon is here too, and he has been following Chaputal to report what he has seen in Normandy." Ludrer said, "What do you think of him?"

Georgiana said nothing.

"He's too proud," said Georgiana after a moment, "though he's a sympathetic man."

"Chaputal believes that the establishment of artificial grass and perfect land rotation is the basis of agriculture, and we can now test it in Brittany."

"It sounds like you've already made up your mind," Georgiana said.

"The expansion of artificial pastures in the UK has been successful. It's a good example to follow, but they're doing it for lamb and wool, and we need milk and dairy products," said Ludrell. "You've seen the new Civil Code. the terms above?"

"You can tell me directly." Georgiana said provocatively.

"Partners who lease livestock in partnership shall equally share the profits and losses. The income generated by the milk, manure and animal power of the livestock shall belong to the lessee, and the lessor shall only enjoy half of the rights to the benefits of wool and breeding. It is invalid, but the lessor is the land owner, and the lessee of the herd is the lessee of the land or the farmer who shares the fruits. The lessee must manage the people with kindness and pay attention to the preservation of the leased herd. This is not only to promote agriculture, The rule of law must also be promoted, and it is easier to raise dairy cows." Ludrell said, "As for your concern about bovine tuberculosis, let the veterinarians worry about it."

Georgiana was a little taken aback.

"Brittany will become a beautiful place." Luderer looked around and said, "even more beautiful than it is now."

Georgiana wanted to say that the vineyard can be beautiful, but she didn't say it.

Don't disturb everyone's mood.

So she and Luderer continued their walk along the medieval stone streets.
