Harry Potter Morning Light

The Romans liked the triumph of victory, not only because it represented victory, but also because every time the Roman legions brought back some spoils, slaves, money, livestock, etc., and books. The first public library in Rome was established after Caesar won the battle, although his purpose of building the library was to build a large public building to commemorate his great achievements.

This is another way for the generals to buy people's hearts after they win. In addition to libraries, there are also people who repair theaters and baths. As long as they are Roman citizens, they will enjoy certain discounts. This privilege was especially evident during famines, when the Romans in Justinian’s time were given alms bread, while the non-Romans had nothing. When Rome was destroyed, their privileges were gone. Some Romans came to Gaul and other regions and were governed by the barbarian code. They wanted to get privileges and needed to become vassals of the king, but the Romans had no non-Romans at this time. That's an advantage.

While she was at a meeting, Margaret brought a case of wine with her attendants, and Georgiana opened them all to share with the crowd.

"What kind of wine is this?" the silk merchant in Lyon asked after tasting it.

"Friar's wine, I bought it at Fecamp." Georgiana replied calmly.

"The taste is very rich." He complimented.

"It is said that the priests used alchemy to brew it." Georgiana smirked.

"Priests can also do alchemy?" Bowens asked in surprise.

"They not only know alchemy, but also astrology." She said indifferently.

He looked a little disbelieving.

"Don't be so ignorant." Georgiana said viciously.

The people present laughed, then toasted together and drank the wine in the glass.

"Napoleon won't win a battle that doesn't bring benefits to the people. If we don't find a way, Louisiana will be sold in the end. I don't think it will be so easy to pass through the English Channel in the future." Georgiana said " Finance is one of the foundations of social stability, and there is also the introduction of the metric system, and the issue of coins, and I have heard that many foreign coins flowed into France during the Revolution."

"You could say they took advantage of the collapse of the French monetary system, ma'am," said Perrier. the difference."

"The Americans didn't intend to buy the whole of Louisiana in the first place. It was suggested by our treasury officer." Francis, the son of Citizen Leon Cour, said.

"In the short term, it can indeed increase the revenue of the treasury, and our overseas colonies can't get it back..."

"Don't say that!" Georgiana interrupted the daredevil.

"I'm sorry, ma'am," he said immediately.

She hesitated for a moment, "As for the issue of slavery, I must tell you that I am opposed to it, but I choose to use other methods to recover the losses caused by this decision, and wait for the right time to mention the abolition of slavery, not in this Resisting at a critical point is like we are all sitting on a boat, and the boat is going through wind and waves, and we want to keep the boat sailing, instead of taking the opportunity to fight for control of the boat, understand?"

No one spoke.

"You are all people who have experienced the storm of the Great Revolution, and I don't think you all want to experience it again."

"The Spaniards intend to ban the Americans from entering the Mississippi River." The madman interrupted Georgiana. "This is the news from Lucien."

"Who thought that? Godoy?" Perrier asked.

"The Mississippi River has always been regarded by the Americans as their own river, and they did not realize that it was a natural boundary." Fanatic said, "But the Spaniards have no right to prohibit their passage."

"How much control do we have over Louisiana?" Georgiana asked.

No one spoke.

Now she really wanted to ask Bonaparte if he thought it would be a good deal to exchange a small piece of land in Italy for a piece of land the size of Louisiana.

However, she also imagined that after occupying Santo Domingo, she would use this as a springboard to occupy Louisiana.

"Bring the Poles back," Georgiana said at last. "Put them in isolation for a while, and in the meantime try to convince them not to reveal everything about Santo Domingo to outsiders, especially journalists."

"What are their terms?" Perrier asked.

"You don't know?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"That's my opinion anyway, we won't be involved in a war in North America."

"So it's a smart idea to sell the land?" Perrier asked again.

"No, the 'balance' will be broken because of this. Those in the UK who advocate continuing to maintain peace with France will lose out to the voices of opposition. Some people have always regarded the "Amiens Peace Treaty" as a "judgment of subjugation."

"But if we don't sell it, even if we win this conflict, it will be very expensive to maintain in the future," Perrier said.

"Are you in favor of the land sale?" Georgiana asked.

"There's no solution," Perrier said, "unless we break it apart."

"What?"

"Divide Louisiana into pieces and sell them to other countries," Perrier said. "Prussia, Italy, whoever."

"I don't think anyone will cause this trouble." Aston Martin said, who has been silent all the time. "Especially the Germans, do you think they still have money?"

"It can be deducted from their other taxes," Perrier said.

She believes that Prussia may have ambitions to establish overseas colonies, but they must first obtain sea power.

"A divided 'Europe' in America?" said Georgiana. "Do you think it is possible?"

"There is another way, let the Indians, as long as they get training and weapons, the Dutch West India Company has always wanted to do military business."

Georgiana felt like shaking her head.

"Are we talking about solutions, right? Or are we talking bullshit?" Perrier said.

She sighed, realizing how difficult it was for Albus to keep the discussion in order.

"What about the Russians?" Aston Martin asked. "Let the Russians buy a piece of land in Louisiana."

Georgiana laughed.

When she had had enough laughing, she looked at these ignorant nineteenth-century people who had no idea that they had inadvertently told the funniest joke of the twentieth century.

"Even if we dismantle Louisiana and sell it to other countries, other countries can also resell it to the United States. In the end, they still bought a complete land." Farron said, "Other people's focus is on Europe. Like those immigrants, the focus is on the colonies."

"It seems that this idea may not be good." Francis looked at Perrier.

Perrier did not refute, but did not leave the table, and Georgiana asked Marguerite to pour him another glass of wine, and calmed down the young man.

"I remember, the Scots are going to set up a colony in Panama, how about them?" The madman looked at Georgiana and said, "Do you know any Scots?"

Georgiana was expressionless.

"How about the Irish?" said the man again. "I know your guardian is Irish."

"With what do they pay their debts?" asked Perrier.

"Labour, but also local products."

"But there are already many Irish people in the United States, and they will easily become a new state." Perrier said.

Georgiana took a sip of her wine.

"Look, this is the importance of peace and unity. Do you know what the Parisians are guarding against you?"

No one spoke.

Georgiana snapped her lips, really doubting whether such a discussion is meaningful.
