Chapter 1314: City and country

  Chapter 1314 City and Country

  If a woman has a well-known husband, then her own name will be easily overlooked, and people will only be referred to as someone’s wife.

Another kind of woman is very famous, such as Madame Dubali and Madame Pompidou. Madame Pompidou has also read the spirit of the theory written by Montesquieu. It is because she has read this book, she It is already higher than the women of Louis XV's mistress group who can only rub fat and powder.

Madame Jofran’s Salon on Avenue Saint Honoré was one of the most famous salons at the time. Her Lake did not rely on her origin, wealth, or position, but her talent as an admission ticket. Like Le Shiliu, she was so powerful for a while. Big people are hard to be invited.

  Montesquieu was her guest. In addition, Voltaire, D'Alembert, Queen Ekaterina, King of Sweden, etc. were also invited by Madame Jofran. However, almost no one still remembers the once famous salon hostess, and the new social star is Mrs. Starr who Napoleon hated the most and was deported.

  Mrs. Starr must have seen Rousseau. She also wrote an article "On Rousseau's Character and Works".

  Not every female writer and female scholar has the same concept of “I won’t get married without love”. Life needs money. Montesquieu has rich cultural heritage, but he has no copyright. It just so happened that Napoleon Bonaparte needed someone to preside over his "harem" like a courtmaster, and Madame Montesquieu came.

  It was once written in Montesquieu’s book that the nature of the land has three areas: wheat areas, poor; grape areas, where people are many and poor; livestock areas, where there are not many people but rich.

  Marne is a picturesque place, and many castles can be seen along the way, which looks very much in line with the little girl’s fantasy of the fairy tale kingdom.

  The French Revolution overthrew a lot of the old system, but it did not solve the gap between the rich and the poor. The dress of the Guards is easy to recognize. Coupled with the British thoroughbreds pulling the cart, the swaggering team will of course attract the attention of passers-by.

  She thought she would see envy or jealous eyes, but those passersby cheered at her carriage from a long distance away.

   Seeing these people, she suddenly understood why Napoleon was so desperate.

   "They are very cute people, aren't they?" Madame Montesquieu said to Georgiana, "How do you compare to the British?"

  Georgiana did not speak.

  How tired was she living, so Sophie and Caroland actually gave birth to the idea of ​​not getting married and being single for a lifetime.

  The situation in Marx and Marne province is similar to the countryside where she had stayed before. Men are rarely seen, most of them are women. Even if there are men, they are mostly middle-aged and elderly. Young people either go to war or go to work in the city.

It is hopeless to be a farmer for a lifetime. Young and ambitious people will definitely not be able to stay. The unpredictable weather also makes the harvest unstable. The new life brought by modern urban civilization attracts them. The farms of the previous large farms The servants left the farm and moved out.

  There is no one to cultivate, and the land rent still has to be collected. The big farmer sells the idle land to the peasants who desire it, and the big farm is disintegrated.

  There are beggars everywhere in the cities, but the countryside lacks strong labor. Montesquieu called "the evil fruit of prosperity" like this.

  A similar situation exists in the United Kingdom. Except for London, other cities that once prospered during the industrial revolution began to slump.

  A prosperous and populous city is a political achievement, representing prosperity and strength. It seems that it is not just the women in the salon who will live in their own world.

  There are fewer people engaged in agriculture. If machinery can be used to replace manpower, then large farms can continue to be maintained. The farmer model that Leoncourt said is also feasible.

  But France now lacks talents in this area. They pay more attention to literature and art rather than machinery. This is exactly what Britain is good at.

  Napoleon treated Jenner so politely, he also refused to take office in France.

  Napoleon wants to implement capitalism in France. He will no longer bind farmers to the land, but food is the most in short supply at the moment. Insecure farmers buy a lot of land, thinking that the wider the area of ​​cultivation, the more land will be harvested.

  She suddenly thought of an idea and asked Sophie for paper notes.

France is still losing money with silk for tobacco. She still wants to make a profit for him. She wants Britain to provide engineers. Even if the fully automatic harvester and planter cannot be invented in a short while, this will continue for 10 centuries. Improved farming tools.

   "Can I see it?" said Madame Montesquieu.

  Georgiana handed her the paper generously.

   "This is indeed a feasible way." Mrs. Montesquieu looked at the paper and said, "But then the urban population will not decrease."

"Let people go to work, not to enjoyment. The place of work is not necessarily in the countryside, but can also be from the countryside to the suburbs of the city." Georgiana said, "It can be understood as a supply line, there are several lines. Supply points, in short, let's open the cannery first. After we have a template, other industries can copy it."

  "What should I use for canning?" Sophie asked.

  "Meat." Giorgioanna said, "Leon has to collect a meat excise tax, not to mention the fact that animals are not affected by the weather so much. We need to provide as much forage as possible."

   "The pastoral area will also become very rich," said Madame Montesquieu.

  "After the British Enclosure Movement, the land was planted with half grains and half livestock. This is a crisis and an opportunity..."

   "You really like him." Caroland suddenly said, "What should you do if your British husband finds him?"

  Georgina glared at the wicked witch.

   "Hahaha." Caroland laughed presumptuously, "You are so funny."

   "I need a clear head, don't make trouble." Georgiana said coldly.

  "Animal birth may not be affected by the weather, but it will be affected by other factors. Can't you not give birth by yourself?" Caroland said viciously.

  "Do you think now is the time to love animals?"

   "Why don't you think that Muggles should control the speed of having children?" Caroland sneered.

  Georgiana looked at this pure-blooded nobleman, she almost forgot how Muggles existed like ants in the eyes of these people.

  Directly handing over the French Ministry of Magic to the Lestrange family for reconstruction will only form the second British Ministry of Magic during Voldemort's reign. Fortunately, she is not so anxious to promise Carolan's benefits.

   "In the hospital, more people are cured, and with the increase in newborns, even if you try your best, you will face a crisis because of the large population." Caroland said, "In the long run, controlling population growth is correct."

  Georgiana thought of those magical animals.

  How many species have become extinct because of human hunting.

"Under the monarchy, there are two ways to increase the population of the capital. One is that the wealth of other provinces attracts residents to the capital, and the other is that other provinces drive residents to the capital because of poverty. Bonaparte exchanged'fertilizer' for other provinces. Your wealth, should you think about how to restore the balance and let the residents return to other provinces?" said Madame Montesquieu.

   "Not a resident, but a man." Georgiana said coldly, "Women and old people are staying in the country."

  As for why country men leave, in addition to looking for a new life, there is also a reason—beautiful urban women.

  Men also have their own fairy tale dreams. Poor boys dare to do anything to marry a princess, including slaying dragons.

  Brother was cheated by a woman who was good at flirting, and finally committed suicide.

  Women can make men look ugly and not tall, so why can't men make men a little?

  Only families and women can settle down the wandering men. Country women can’t keep men, so they will be taken away by the vixen in the city!

  At present, there are not many employment opportunities for women in cities, so they have not moved. When there are more opportunities for women in cities, the countryside will be empty. Even capitalist and industrialized Britain has not given up agriculture.

  Grains and other crops have to wait until next year. Canned meat can be made immediately, and one million quintals of food is not enough for one million people to consume for long. With technology, canned sea fish can be made, and countries such as Norway and Denmark can also provide food to France.

  But she has a hunch that it will definitely not go so smoothly. Canned food needs to be popularized. In addition, the welding process of canned food can easily contaminate food. If there is a problem with canned food, there will be panic.

  She looked out the window thinking about things, deliberately ignoring Madame Montesquieu’s temptation. Whether it was a "monarchy" or a "republic" was not the sole decision of her woman, she was almost too busy with everything in front of her.
