Harry Potter's Morning Light Chapter 1846

Chapter 1846 Witch Club (22)

When Octavian killed the hot-headed Anthony and Cleopatra, in addition to tying the bodies of the two to the street, he also transported the wealth accumulated by generations of Ptolemy back to Rome from Egypt.

The Romans had an ancient custom. The triumphant would give each soldier a small amount of money. The amount was very small. It increased during the civil war. The reward came from the capital captured by the enemy at first, and it was provided by the citizens in the downturn. No trophy soldiers still want to get a share.

Augus had gained so much wealth from Egypt, of course, this triumphant money was also generously given. During the republican period, the generals became more generous because of the increase in the scale of the campaign, but even so the soldiers were allocated only 100 denières. Rutus and Cassius all followed Caesar's precedent.

Napoleon has always been generous to officers, but he did not give the money. Later, before the opening ceremony of the Saint-Martin Canal, he distributed a small bag with marzipan, towels, soap and a small golden bee. They can go to the bathroom opened by the Saint-Martin Canal to take a bath. If the ceremony can be held smoothly that day If anything, they still have wine and meat to eat, which is a hard-won meal for those homeless people.

Soldier mutiny is generally a matter of treatment. Some people say that in the old dynasty, the military expenditure was 90 million francs, half of which would be allocated to officers, and the rest would be allocated to 10 times or 100 times the number of soldiers.

Being as a soldier is so poor that people look down on it, so only the people at the bottom of society will serve as soldiers. The peasants have a strange thinking. When the harvest is good, they hope to have a famine, and when the famine really happens, they hope to go back. When the homeless people in the city are too poor to eat, they will run around and threaten the farmers to hand over their bread.

There are no pastoral songs, but there are many robbers and hungry people. All the lords hate them. They are responsible for collecting taxes and lending money. Country girls are getting old fast. At 28, they look like an old woman in their 60s. One is because of working in the field and the other is because of life. When the peasants can't afford to pay, the lord allows them to pay off their debts with physical objects, such as wheat and chickens. After signing the contract, even if the price of food rises due to famine in the future, they still have to give the lord so much. There is also land rent, which must also be fixed to the feudal lord, and taxpayers. In addition to those who enter the city, they must pay the entrance tax at the gate of the city, but the rural people also pay the head tax and military service tax.

Rural people will eat buckwheat, oats, rye, and all urban people will not eat food. This is the same as the city walls in the suburbs of Paris. Eating white bread and eating black bread is a kind of identity difference.

Napoleon had a hard time before, but after he emerged, he also had a private kitchen like the previous king, but when he ate with the English woman, it was very simple for a while.

A man who is at his level will definitely not have to worry about eating meat. Even if there is a famine, there is a 24-hour supply of roast chicken in his kitchen. In the past, when the villagers were hungry enough to eat grass like cows and sheep, the nobles still had supper to eat, and they could pity the poor ghosts while drinking wine in the salon.

I can't even compare to a woman, especially this woman is from England. The two of them ate the same light diet for a while, and then Bonaparte threw the bread on the ground and asked her to pick it up and eat it.

Food needs to be saved, but she did not pick it up. In the end, Bonaparte picked up the bread and ate it.

This is definitely a spectacle. The staff of the Tuileries Palace who witnessed all this was shocked.

Later, when I inquired, the British navy's food was as bad as the French army. On the contrary, it was the French navy, who lived a noble life. They asked them to secretly take the Egyptian army back while Murat was attacking the Italian port. As a result, they went into hiding. In the end, France took advantage of Britain's loopholes and allowed the British warships to bring back the French Egyptian Expeditionary Force.

People are extremely hungry and sometimes they have some unusual behaviors, such as a group of women burning fruit trees for no reason.

Burning fruit trees can't relieve their hunger, but they still burned. Reason is not born with them. To understand the behavior of the people depends on their thinking. When the Great Revolution just broke out, there were also troubles in the countryside, and those who owed a lot of debts As soon as the farmers heard about the revolution, they don't have to pay their debts. The lord won't have any in the future, and the land of the fleeing nobles will be confiscated and divided into small pieces for them. These people suddenly become staunch supporters.

Farmland is easy to say, what about woodland? This used to be a hunting area for the nobles.

Some places don't care so much at all, just grabbed the axe and started to chop. When people are in a miserable situation, he becomes surly and irritable. The residents of Lyon heard that when the tavern owners and farmers in the suburbs of Paris stepped on the bodies of tax card staff, the poor rushed into shops and bakeries like beasts and robbed them. , The bakery owner was hanged because he asked for too high a price. He refused to sell when others could not afford to bargain. People suspected that he had hidden the bread.

There is no leader, no organization, and the poor have a deep-rooted distrust of the big, the rich, and the people with status. Even if these people want to show their favor, it is in vain. They don't believe in the humanity and impartiality of these people. In other words, they were trampled too hard. People who were out of control were hurting themselves while destroying everything. During the period of terror, the French economy was stagnant because the nobles and the rich were scared by the guillotine, but also because These stores were destroyed and it will take a long time to recover.

It feels like all the sheep in the sheepfold turned into wolves overnight, and the pain of being suppressed by the old system for centuries is released. Even the army cannot stop them, because they themselves are also victims of this system. .

If a rough tenant has no land and no income, the light cavalry will arrest him as a soldier to deduct the head tax and military service tax. They will also take on the duties of prison guards. Some people advocate humane treatment of prison inmates, but no one cares about them. The prison cook separates the chaff from the grain and uses these to make bread for the soldiers.

When this line of defense is broken, the nobles who can play the badminton piano and walk six laps in the living room even if they exercise will face the mob directly.

The life of a noble lady is like this. According to court etiquette, she has to get up at 8 o'clock, have breakfast in bed, spend about two and a half hours, dress up with the help of at least 10 maids, participate in dances, poetry, and Watching comedy.

During this period, someone will always accompany her and guard her, just like a tree surrounded by countless vines, glued from beginning to end. A marquise heard the peasant's demands and asked her to exempt all the land rent. She asked her twice and refused to agree. Later, she and her children were chopped into pieces and their heads were inserted. On the wooden stick.

This topic is not suitable for social occasions. Whether it is the gladiatorial battle in the Colosseum or the racing in the Constantinople Circuit, it is a pastime. Pastime is a pleasure. A noble girl should learn how to master nobility. Respectful curtsy, how to use a fan to cover one's face when talking to men, look at each other gracefully and humblely, and express one's respect.

Social skills need soft fragrance, nice and delicious candy, lies, grace, all kinds of prints and paintings, poetry, a noble lady can give each person according to their different status, origin and status. s concern.

The head tax is divided into 22 levels, which are determined according to the financial resources of each level. The peasants are fed up with this. Everyone knows that the rich are trying to get exemption rights. It is them who pay taxes. Why not just divide them into two classes in the future?

The conference hall in Versailles can accommodate 2,000 people. When the third-level parliament was held in it, it was noisy than the House of Commons. The final solution given by the king was to give the third-level voting rights and the right to be elected. What's the point? Woolen cloth?

The counting method of counting heads can break the previous voting method monopolized by the aristocracy. The poor can buy alcohol and drink with the only spare money besides work. He does not have good clothes and shoes to go to the opera to socialize, even tickets. Can't afford it, he doesn't care about politics at all.

Countries in the United States are all elected by the people, and senior officials in France are appointed. It was not until 1834 that they had limited voting rights. Eternal happiness is the nature of the French. Happiness is the keynote of social interaction. The only way to please a lady is to dominate the taste in social situations. When Bonaparte appears, it is like a heavy lead-grey sky, which instantly makes the social scene clouded. Of course people like him can't "dominate social situations."

People always fall in the direction he is inclined to. Bonaparte's policies are a lot to please the peasants. The smallholder land ownership system allows peasants to own the land after paying off the loan for 10 years, without paying land rent in the future. There is also the exemption of tithes. As long as he can ensure that this is implemented, the farmers will always support him, and the peasant population is the main component of the "agricultural power."

Although the female spy he later looked for was not like a nobleman, she ate it at the potato stew on the canal construction site. In the past, a farmer couldn't even buy salt. When the house didn't have a salt pot, the meat had to be marinated in salt. For taxes, the taxpayer also has his own task. He cannot collect so many taxes and he must go to jail. Generally, he will take it away directly when he sees something.

There are also wines. If you invite someone to drink, it depends on whether they drink it or not. In fact, there were many kind ladies who helped the poor before, but the education these people received from an early age was self-reliant and innocent, and charity and begging were not what they wanted.

Originally, the Saint-Martin Canal should be built by French wine tax. Now it is funded by many businesses. The French shareholder system is illegal, and it is feared that large shareholders will bully small shareholders.

At that time, Bonaparte ran into the parliament head-on, and he forced to pass this project. The parliament did not agree to it, but hoped that he waited next year. This was not in line with the budget process.

If it were not for the wealth that Bonaparte had robbed from Italy, the supervising government would have collapsed long ago by issuing banknotes indiscriminately.

Later, he had to repair the gutter and it was a lot of trouble. He simply thought of a separate way-moving the capital to Lyon.

Paris has narrow streets and dense houses. Demolition and relocation are not only troublesome, but also cause disputes among the people. He had encountered it in Cairo before. After moving the capital, it was convenient for the Southern Alps to rule.

His ideas are wonderful, but not everyone in Italy wants to be ruled by him. And he spent so much money on the Canal Saint-Martin, and moved away after repairing it. Can Paris still gather so many people if it loses its capital function?

In order to dig through the tunnel to Milan, Bonaparte had to forcibly remove the Marne province from Switzerland, which is the seat of the Alps, and the whole of Europe could not stop him.

But someone persuaded the Swiss representative to find another way to see if the British Cleopatra could move him.

There are very few women. Whether she is genuine or fake, Diodora is a worthy learning object, but Diodora did help Justinian when he needed help and support most.

The most powerful weapon in the world is the unwillingness to go out. What's the use of crying in that kind of situation?

The use of force against civilians is almost inseparable from the tyrant, but as long as you think of Persian and Gothic prying eyes, the consequences are unimaginable.

Attila once unified Eastern and Western Rome in a certain sense, but this Huns was the "God's Whip". After so many years, this name still represents bad news.

The actors in the opera sometimes play peasants, sometimes judges, and sometimes emperors, all because of their different appearances. After all, those exquisite scenes cannot match the real mountains and rivers.

"Bonaparte wants your life, do you know?" Alessandro asked.

"I know." Severus said quietly, "He also offered a reward, but it was later revoked."

"How much?" Lucius asked curiously.

"It's apparently revoked. Your head is now the chief of the Paris police." Alessandro said, "What did you do?"

Severus sneered.

"Isn't he going to move the capital?" Lucius asked, "The chief of police in Lyon is more promising, right?"

"This is a secret, still in the design stage." Alessandro said.

"How did you know?" Severus asked.

Alessandro did not answer.

"Need me to help you forget?" Severus asked.

Alessandro shook his head and continued to talk about the information he knew.
