The bull is actually color blind, but the bull can't help being irritated when he sees the bright red cloth in the matador's hand.

When it rushed towards the bullfighter, the bullfighters would dodge it with elegant and thrilling movements, and then won the applause of the audience. So much so that later there was a superstition that it is not allowed to wear red clothes in front of cattle.

After getting into the carriage, Georgiana watched the Pomona anchored in the port not far away from the car window. In fact, it was more comfortable to take a boat on the next road, but she felt that the British Navy would not satisfy Napoleon unless the ship was bound for the island of Elba.

She wore a long red silk dress in the morning, the same color as the British Army uniform.

She would not wear cotton dresses at this time, nor could she dress like a French lady, and instead of cashmere shawls, she wore furs.

What's more, how would she behave when she met the British Secretary of Agriculture? She cried and complained that she had been wronged, and wished she could go to the port with him and leave France by boat immediately?

She didn't even have a basic hand kiss, and it was the chair that Bonaparte opened for her.

It wasn't that she became a weirdo, but that the atmosphere at that time was not friendly, and she spoke freely under such tremendous pressure.

When the patrol team left Le Havre, it was not as grand as when it entered the city, but the main officials and merchants were all there.

It was normal for foreigners to communicate with each other in the frontier areas in the 18th century, and the control power itself was not enough. The trade treaty of 1786, which benefited merchants in Brittany, was devastating to business in Paris. She heard that the Paris Chamber of Commerce also donated money to buy a warship with 120 guns, named "Paris Commerce".

Only by attracting more people to join the peace faction can peace be truly achieved. In addition to local processing, the port also has shipping.

In addition, there is also the construction industry. After repairing the sand lock room, you can also build a fortress. If the Seine estuary is occupied...

Britain was moving from mercantilism to free trade, and the Physiocrats had long been forgotten in the dust of memory.

What they advocate is that land is the only source of wealth and that only agriculture can increase wealth.

The Tory party, dominated by the landed aristocracy, certainly loved hearing that. It is generally believed that Pitt was a Tory, but Pitt called himself an "independent Whig".

The strongest supporters of the Corn Laws were also members of the Tory Party.

No matter how rich this kind of breakfast is, it is a pain, and it is a relief for everyone to be able to end it early.

As for what she said about "loving each other" and cooperating... Neighbors are not necessarily friendly neighbors, there are also feuds, enemies, and creditors. Lovers from different feuding families like Romeo and Juliet finally died in love.

There used to be "manor transfer" in Brittany. The manor used to belong to the lord's manor, and the collective pasture system of the open land system. Didn't the revolution overthrow the nobles later? The dignitaries in the village intend to monopolize those collective pastures.

Before the revolution, France was a feudal autocratic country, and the big feudal nobles headed by the king and the Catholic Church were the big landowners. Great nobles such as dukes and marquises have vast territories awarded by the king. Apart from retaining a part of the land as their own direct award, they divide the remaining land into several earls.

The earls divided part of their territories to several barons, and kept the rest as their direct territories. In such a layer-by-layer enfeoffment, the lord at each level divided his direct territory into multiple small pieces and handed them over to farmers for farming.

They can't decide what to plant, and not only pay a certain annual income to the lord as ground rent, but also bear the tithe tax.

If the year is bad and the temperature is low when the wheat is supposed to bloom, the lord will follow the farmer and watch him covetously.

The public pasture can be regarded as the inevitable result of the interpersonal relationship of the residents in the village and town. It is another "public place" besides the church. The dignified people in the village occupy it, and everyone can only tie the cattle to their own land. up.

Instead of the nobility, there were other big landowners who advocated the division of the common lands. Administrative officials, on the other hand, pay more attention to production. Generally speaking, agricultural improvement is only suitable for large fields. If the soil is not improved, unless chemical fertilizers are used, it is difficult to increase the yield per mu.

It was not the interests of the wage-earners that the Revolutionary National Assembly endeavored to satisfy in relation to agricultural policy, but those of the owner farmers. These lands are owned by the farmers themselves, and they do not need to pay land rent, nor do they need to pay tithe taxes, and there is no forced crop rotation, because the concept of forced crop rotation is a new "freedom" that is completely different from the south.

Compared with agricultural technology and law, joint discussion and collective action have brought about greater changes in the countryside. That is to say, joint consultation and collaboration are the roots of the agricultural revolution.

So when Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor, he said that he was the "emperor of the French". He was elected by voting, and the peasants also gave him power through voting.

The cooperative system is there. The peasants and the feuds decided to fight to the end and not cooperate and win-win. That was their choice, and what he had to do was to prevent the king from coming back, unless Louis XVIII planned to step on the corpses of 100,000 people.

The concept of self-cultivating farmers can only reflect whether farmers cultivate themselves, but not whether they use other people's labor to cultivate themselves.

The tenants are divided according to the harvest, while the tenants are divided according to the agreed rent in advance. That is to say, if you work hard to improve the soil and increase the yield per mu, except for the rent that you have to negotiate with the real estate owner, the rest of the income is yours. This kind of labor enthusiasm is also different.

In other words, they used to work for the landlords, and the peasants were the targets of oppression. Now you are working for yourself, and the amount of income depends on your own ability. Maybe you have some secrets, or you can make a fortune by cultivating particularly good-quality cattle, or you can make a fortune with thoroughbred horses. The landlord who leased the land to you is only Greedy, he took the land back without that secret, and the same land cannot raise animals like you.

Not only to win over those who yearn for peace on the French side, but also on the British side. Otherwise, why would Napoleon discuss with the Secretary of Agriculture the different tastes of wine made from wheat in different production areas.

He is both an angel of peace and a war devil. As Adams's Federalist Party said, what could promote unity more than a war?

This is the granite foundation that Napoleon wanted to lay for France as Georgiana understood that the Great Revolution had "common interests" besides opposing monarchy and ecclesiastical power.

There is a conflict between the interests of most people and the best interests of individuals. If the total amount of happiness remains the same, the more people share it equally, the less will be distributed to everyone. He personally felt happy with the huge amount of happiness, but what would other people who didn't get it think?

There is no support for making others suffer for the sake of one person's happiness. In the Middle Ages, kings led large armies to fight north and south, perhaps for the succession to the throne, or to become a new Rome, and to rule the world. What does that have to do with tenant farmers not being able to marry wives?

After the war for the Spanish throne, the Bourbons replaced the Habsburgs as kings of Spain. The King of Spain built roads according to the French model. Later, France abolished the privilege due to the Enlightenment, and Spain also abolished the privilege of the nobility to herd cattle.

Napoleon was not a perfect man. He designated Rambouillet as his own territory, and he did not want to share it with others.

On that land he could experiment with growing sugar beets, open a sugar factory, promote what he wanted to do, and others would cooperate. Georgiana even worked at the local dairy, not as a milkmaid like Marie Antoinette, but as an accountant.

The youngest accountant in the office was about the same age as Napoleon, in his thirties, and much taller, but he definitely looked different from Bonaparte on a horse.

They continued along the seaside road under the Normandy sun, and she seemed to see warships on the misty sea.

Do they dare to shoot?

Maybe dare, but with the current range of the cannon, when the warship gets close enough, the people on the shore will have already disappeared, and it will also give the other party an excuse to declare war.

She looked at the ships and wondered how they could get them to Belgium on the Pomona.

That was definitely a new experience for Bonaparte. After all, she is the "Mrs. English". If he doesn't give him some benefits that others can't give, he may not love her as the "Princess Medea", but love the real princess. the Habsburg princess.
