At the mouth of the sea, the Seine river, which is relatively clear upstream, carries a lot of sediment, forming silt in Le Havre. Although it blocks the ships going out to sea, it also prevents overseas ships from entering.

Once the flushing lock chamber is built, this obstacle will disappear, and Le Havre does not have a "Little Gibraltar" like Toulon.

Georgiana looked at the commemorative coin on the table and let out a sigh. Henry Petty's scheme was not entirely aimed at Napoleon, it was the theory left by his ancestor William Petty, and there was indeed a certain point. operability.

But the exchange rate is also an adjustment tool that affects imports and exports. Originally, Georgiana only thought of the tariff issue. Even if the tariff is reduced, if the exchange rate changes, then cheap British goods imported to France will become more expensive. The most important thing is The local currency, the pound sterling, has not changed, but the franc.

This is a loophole in the policy, and it can be regarded as a loophole in the hearts of the people. If the quality of the newly minted franc is not good, people will continue to use the gold louis.

A soldier doesn't care whose head is on the coin, anyway, he can melt the gold coin and cast it into what he wants. Before the Battle of Waterloo, Rothschild took out coins from the French bank to pay his soldiers.

But the soldier also has something he cares about. Napoleon originally planned to make a sculpture of Desai or Kleber in the Victory Square. Georgiana turned it into a copper column with the names of other war dead engraved on the column.

She had noticed those equestrian statues in Venice before, and the owners of the statues were mercenaries, not kings.

Even mercenaries want to leave their names and traces of their existence. Although it is not Victory Square, the Botanical Garden is located near the port on the Seine River, and it can be considered a place with a relatively large flow of people.

The Monument to the Unknown Hero is under the Arc de Triomphe, but the Arc de Triomphe has not yet been repaired.

Originally, she planned to raise a small amount of money from those soldiers, but she didn't expect them to raise 30 million yuan, which was also distributed to the widows and children of the war dead, although the average amount of money was not much.

She didn't know who the young man who reminded her was, but his reminder was really useful, she could change her mind, and she didn't want Bonaparte's impression of England to be worse.

The tariff agreement has entered the final sprint stage, and the catalog of commodities has been negotiated by Kirk Bell. There are so many commodities in human beings, and it is also a huge project to find the catalogs from many commodities. If there is a gap between free competition and trade protection "Buffer zone" will not be such a headache now.

She originally wanted to use steel, but unexpectedly, it seemed that more stakeholders were involved.

The 17th-century Livestock Act, which prohibited British imports of Irish goods and prevented the Admiralty from buying Ireland's cheap corned beef and butter, reopened trade only after 1758, and Ireland has since become a major supplier to the navy.

Gabriel Ufral was also a supplier of naval rations. In 1800, the big provinces such as Lyon, Marseille, and Nantes had already "paid tribute". The support of the people, but when Napoleon took over the new government, it was a complete mess, and the money in the treasury was not as much as that in a private bank vault. So he asked the purchaser of state-owned assets to pay the full amount in cash immediately, and borrowed 1 million francs from the banker Portal at an interest rate of 1.5%, and asked the bankers to raise 12 million francs in cash to prepare for Marengo. But they only took out 3 million francs.

He was so annoyed that he decided to make an example of Gabriel Houfral, and the merchants of Paris erupted in protest, this time summoned to Luxembourg to face the wrath of the First Consul.

The full firepower of the "cannon" is probably scary. Anyway, this "attack" is very effective. Not only did Uvral revise the contract he signed with the navy before, but in exchange for freedom, he sent 10 million francs to the treasury, while other banks The family is also obedient a lot.

Originally, the fireworks would look better if they were set off in a closer place, but the port warehouses in Le Havre are all made of wood, and once they ignite, the consequences would be disastrous. Elephant Trunk Hill Beach is not only facing the sea, but also has no combustibles.

Gunpowder can be used to set off fireworks and can also be used to fire cannons, if Bonaparte knows that he has been tricked again, she can't guarantee that he will stay calm, especially Georgiana may also be implicated, and then there will be a party purge It's time.

The reasons are all ready-made, the crime of espionage, all the people who have been in close contact with her will lose their official positions even if they will not be arrested in prison, and their vacancies will be filled by people loyal to Bonaparte.

As for the propaganda... mainly to promote the superiority of the Civil Code, it's good that everything goes well, she is afraid that someone will come out to disrupt the situation and make things that could have gone smoothly, and then Bonaparte is in a bad mood, basically nothing after he turned his face There was no room for redemption, so Josephine did her best to make him happy.

If Lyoncourt had stayed on his farm in Normandy instead of going to Paris to be a "good man," he would have enjoyed a retirement that the mill owners envied.

He grows a la carte, raises some cattle and sheep, lives like a farmer, and because his farm is very large, he is a big farmer, why should he be so frightened like he is now.

Canned food will replace cured meat and become the supply of the navy, and it can also be used for civilian navigation. In addition, there are equipment for making canned food and equipment for making cheese. These are industries that can be invested to make money. He can easily become a rich man. It is not necessary to invest all the funds in one of the industries of the textile industry.

Nash equilibrium is easy to understand. Instead of inviting the most beautiful girl, invite her female partners. Everyone has a partner to dance with.

But actually every boy wanted to invite Fleur, the whole school went crazy for her, the girls were so jealous, and then all kinds of "weird things" happened.

There are those who hide other people's dresses, and there are those who are obviously the school belle, but find Harry and Ron as their dancing partners at the end. No matter how good Fleur is, look at her dancing partner, how can that Ravenclaw boy compare to her? "Golden Boy" Potter.

She wants to jump out of this vortex and see a bigger picture. Yet the Industrial Revolution, which began with wool and was replaced by cotton, now captures the attention of the world like a black hole.

Girls don't care about the price when they compare. Only those who live a life buy cheap and affordable cotton cloth. The reason for lowering the price is also because they hope to gain a competitive advantage through the price.

Apart from tariffs and exchange rates, what else can regulate market prices?

"Madame!" Just as she was in a trance, Margaret and Matilda returned happily.

"Look." Matilda opened a beautiful wooden box in front of her.

Inside is a box carved in ivory, which is very beautiful, if a little bloody.

"What did you buy it for?" asked Georgiana.

Matilda carefully looked at her face, and lost the excitement after a while, "I thought it could be used to decorate jewelry."

"Go get Alice." Georgiana said to Leila, and then turned to Matilda, "I don't like ivory, but since you chose it for me, I'm willing to accept it, but next time Don't buy it."

"It's a nice box." Matilda pouted.

Georgiana was about to explain at length when Leila just opened the door, and there was a person standing outside the door, Mr. Moreau de Saint-Merry, the master of ceremonies.

"Bonjour, my lovely little birds." St. Merry exclaimed exaggeratedly. "Are you ready for the banquet tonight?"

Georgiana opened her mouth.

When did she become a "cute bird"?

"I don't think so." St. Merry looked at Georgiana with a smile and said, "I heard that you have to teach Bonaparte to dance. He is a terrible dancer."

"Okay... come in." Georgiana had nothing to say, "but I don't think two hours will change anything."

"How do you think I'm going to take up so much of your precious time?" said Saint-Méry in surprise, but went into her suite anyway.

"Excuse me, what?" she said, confused.

"We can practice dancing and dress up at the same time," said Saint-Méry cheerfully. "Let's have fun now."
