Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1361 "Roadblock"

  Liverpool is about 48 kilometers away from Manchester, Liverpool is a port city, and Manchester’s pillar industry is cotton spinning. With the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution, Manchester's demand for cotton has doubled dozens of times. The local cotton in the UK can no longer meet the demand, so we can only focus on North America.

  Cotton ships from the United States across the Atlantic Ocean docked in Liverpool, transporting these raw materials through nearby canals and land carriages. However, the transportation cost of the carriage is staggeringly high, and the shipping rights of the canal are monopolized by some companies at high prices.

The citizens of Liverpool were the direct victims of the monopoly of the Canal Company. The excessively high freight cost made them little profits. They took the initiative to communicate with the Canal Company, but the Canal Company completely ignored their request. So the construction of the railway and the establishment of the railway company became the Liverpool citizens and the Canal Company. The way to contend.

  The wooden track "invented" by Giorgio Anna made Napoleone very satisfied. Artillery is not only a technical force but also requires physical strength. With it, it saves much effort to carry the artillery. There was a chat about the incident between the talks, and the British representatives quickly remembered the Liverpool railway.

The railway was first used in mines, and the French were also very interested in this. The two negotiating parties who had been scorched in the textile industry had room for reversal because of the "railway", but the railway needed a financial budget. Corsicans " The opportunity for vendetta is here. He was not allowed to repair the canal when he was about to build the canal, and now he was not allowed to repair the railway if other people wanted to.

  Building roads is not just about money, but also manpower. In an unsatisfactory way, the overhaul and construction of the country will consume national power, and Justinian also built Constantinople.

  Railroad repair requires engineers and steam engines. There is also a patent law in the British Monopoly Act. In 1790, the United States also promulgated a patent law. This law is both a domestic law and a foreign law. After applying for a patent, the right to invention belongs to the state, and the inventor receives certain rewards, but other people who have been approved by the state cannot refuse to use his invention.

  At present, the railway is still in the exploration stage. Just as smallpox is in the experimental stage, Napoleon has become popular in China.

  Someone once said that as long as Napoleon’s gray tuxedo and cocked hat were inserted on a wooden stick, the whole of Europe could be put into combat readiness. This may be an exaggeration, but it did arouse the fighting spirit of the British. Many people think that a man without a beard looks "sissy," and that a man should grow his beard to have a strong presence, but Napoleon no longer needs to use foreign objects to emphasize his identity.

In fact, after the signing of the "Camp-Formio Agreement", Napoleon has already received honors equal to those of the great figures in ancient times. He is the founder of two great republics and enjoys the honor of being a winner and a peacemaker. You can take the laurel wreath and olive branch to live his private life with peace of mind.

But he was only 27 years old at the time, a long time before "life is over". Count Kobenz was born in Brussels. He was polite in social circles, but he was tough and stern in handling matters. He was famous for being difficult to get along with. He raised his voice and commanded gestures to make himself look less weak in front of Bonaparte, but after Bonaparte fell the teapot given to him by Queen Catherine, he sent the Marquis of Gallo in horror. Go to Passeiano with his autograph and say that he accepts the French ultimatum.

  Camp-Formio, like Marengo, is just a small village. In order to sign a peace treaty, the village was declared neutral by the two parties, but in fact there is no representative of both parties because there is no suitable house to house the representatives.

  Napoleon’s dress is simple, others only think of approachability, but not shabby. He would not look weird if he lived in the palace of the Bourbon royal family, but it would be uncomfortable for him to live in the aristocratic quarter.

While listening to Granit’s talk, Giorgioanna was thinking about the young man who was chasing her in the Grand Trianon. At that time, they had black and white lattice tiles under their feet, which looked like a chessboard. .

  "Are you listening to me?" Granit suddenly said loudly.

  Georgiana was taken aback.

  "Are you also confused by his charm?" Granit said with a chuckle.

   "Normal people have already flinched after being rejected by me so many times." She said wearily.

"You keep going like this, even the God of War sometimes miscalculates." Granit said in a voice that only two people heard. "When the Pfullendorf armistice was concluded, he forgot to occupy Ulm and England. Golstadt Fortress included the necessary conditions, and he and Austria will sign an agreement to extend the armistice in the future. The occupation of these two fortresses will be added as an indispensable condition.

   "Ulm?"

"you have heard?"

  Georgiana nodded.

"what do you know?"

   "I heard that the Austrians installed explosives in the Ulm fortress and wanted to blow up the materials in the fortress and the people who occupied it."

  "How did you know?" Granit said calmly.

"He likes to show off in front of women." Giorgioanna thought about it and said. "That day, he intended to show me how he used his interests and the Austrian system to cause disputes, but one of my businessmen brought the Vienna biography. Coming news."

   "Does he believe it?"

   "I didn't ask, I try not to interfere with his military affairs."

  "Where is your husband now?" Granit asked.

   "I don't know." She said wearily, "Maybe he has gone back."

   "Why are you coming to France?"

"Honeymoon."

   Granit laughed but said nothing.

   "We asked him to borrow troops." Georgiana said.

   "Borrow soldiers?" Granit said in surprise.

"Cicero mentioned in his theory of divinity that humans are only sensible in human form. Last year, I predicted that there will be a famine this year, and it will continue next year. We have so many citizens studying in France, so we Ask him to borrow troops."

  She babbled casually.

  "Do you think the French will attack the British?"

  "Not an Englishman, have you read the documents about the French Revolution that you sent me?" Georgiana asked.

"No."

"It was the women who attacked the Palace of Versailles. They were originally mothers, but because they did not have food to feed their children, they could only watch them starve to death. Compared with the king, they hated the queen more. They robbed a lot of paper money in the palace. , And put them all back. The only thing they wanted to do was to tear Marie Antoinette to pieces. By then they had completely lost their minds."

   "Are you worried that you will become the second decapitated queen?" Granit asked.

"I didn't think so much at the time. To be honest, when we first met, none of us expected to develop to this point. I only know that violence is not necessarily effective in front of people who are irrational because of passion. You It is conceivable that it is a torrent, and no one can stay out of it. That’s why I want to borrow troops to prevent the rioters from attacking British citizens."

  "Let’s go and see how things are going on the street?" Granit said, "It's rare that you can come out once."

"No problem." Georgian said calmly. "I heard that Mary became cautious in the last two years, but by then she had become a prisoner. Sometimes I would go to the vegetable market to buy groceries, and the place was so dirty that he didn't want to go. However, the October incident was the first cause of trouble for the women who went to the vegetable market to buy food."

   "Do you want me to buy groceries with you?" Granit said with a smile.

   "Oh, Diamond Kid, are you afraid of getting dirty too?" Georgiana sneered.

   "What does he call you?" Granit asked in a good temper.

   "Sometimes it's the name, sometimes it's Cecilia."

   "But these are not you, are they? What is your real name?"

   "You can't find me." She said calmly, "You can call me Mrs. Smith."

   "You really don't want to be the Countess of Aberdeen?"

   "As a joke, it's almost time to end."

   "Your heart is like granite." Granit smiled, "It's rare even among British women."

   "I'm Scots." She smiled and shook her head. "There is winter for most of the year."

   "But you still think you are a British." Granit said, "In fact, instead of borrowing troops, we can also evacuate overseas Chinese."

  "The situation should not be so bad, especially when the agreement has just been signed and everything is uncertain." She sighed, "I think there is a huge threat. It will be easy for everyone to put aside their prejudices and work together to tide over the difficulties."

  "In addition to discussing divinity, which book of Cicero have you read?" Granit asked.

  "Do you have any suggestions? I want to give it to him as a Christmas present."

  "What would you give me as a Christmas present?" Granit asked cheeky.

   "What are you giving me?" She also asked confidently.

   "Deal." Granit reached out to Georgiana.

  Suddenly she found that she didn’t seem to know him well enough to **** gifts.

  But she still shook hands with him.

   "Deal." She smiled and said, "How are you going to spend Christmas?"

   "How about I accompany you?" Granit said with a smile, "He must be with his family that day."

  Georgiana couldn’t laugh anymore.

  Grannett laughed at his "British humor", nothing the prime minister should have.
