Chapter 1847 Witch Club (twenty-three)
As long as the peasants' land problem is solved, and the flocks deprived of nothing have their own property, they will not take the risk like the people in the city. When the knife is put on the neck, it is not necessarily that every nobleman is like the marquise who refuses to give up his past dignity and wealth, and some agree not to collect land rent, so the countryside has become a refuge for many nobles. Including the Duke of Lyoncourt, the former king's courtier.
There are many privately called His Majesty Napoleon, and the forces surrounding the "lucky cook" call him the head of state. This was Octavian's name before he became emperor.
This liberal aristocrat was deeply enlightened by the American farm system and hoped to launch an "agricultural revolution" in France. This is of course impossible. After inspecting France for a round, he was sent to Rennes. Mainly to solve the problem of rebellion in Brittany.
The lords come back once when they are paying their debts and renting. The rest of the time is in Paris. Of course, they don't care about the security of the country. The high-paid officers became a leave group. They usually eat, drink and have fun in Paris and ignore their subordinates. When they return to the battlefield one day, they will not be followed.
The low-level soldiers of the army that Napoleon had stayed with before he became famous also mutiny, demanding senior officers to show their grey income. For people who are not in their own world, there are many people who are innocent. The security in the countryside is very chaotic. Not only there are genuine robbers, but also homeless people who occasionally appear as robbers. This makes homeless people the most terrible scourge in the countryside.
The old system used light cavalry to capture. Beggars must swear that they would never beg before they were released. To confirm that they would never beg again, they must find a credible and solvent guarantor to ensure that he works or supports him.
Since ordinary prisons and poor houses cannot accommodate, new prisons have to be built, and this operation is still ongoing until the end of the old system. In 1778, a law was promulgated. The cavalry of the Mounted Police had to arrest not only the beggars and homeless people they encountered, but also the suspects who were sent to them by others. Therefore, the conduct was the most impeccable and the least likely to be. Citizens who are homeless dare not guarantee that they will be put in shelters.
The passage of this magical law is truly otherworldly, but perhaps the answer may be given by thinking of the story of the "Blessing of the People". A man who claimed to his wife and concubine that he was treated every day actually went to the graveyard to eat tribute. This law What was investigated was the begging behavior. In the asylum in Rennes, several husbands were arrested because their wives revealed them, and some wives were also detained by their husbands.
Witch hunting is the same. The country is more rampant than the city. Sons expose mothers, brothers expose sisters. Some people have headaches or a plague. The first thing they want is to arrest wizards. Religion brings order as well as other problems. The signing of the state-religious agreement and the special criminal court have gradually restored order in the countryside. Villagers pay more attention to public security issues than urban residents. This is a common disease in the city and crowds of people. Local public security is not good, and there is nothing more beneficial to the whole country than restoring public security. Napoleon's reputation has also been greatly improved, and he can compare with Henry IV and Louis XIV.
But his ambition is by no means to be a French king. Charlemagne was the one who unified Western Europe after Attila. The rule of Italy is close to that goal. After the "chariot" runs, it crushes all obstacles on the road. , Even the Alps have to dig a way.
"Lucky Chef" introduced the British railway, which greatly increased the transportation capacity. This time Napoleon asked Ney to send troops to Switzerland and used this wooden track-paved road to transport cannons.
Tolls are used to build roads, but local governments hardly use tolls on roads. Those roads are pitted all year round. Bonaparte used "buy fertilizer" as an excuse to grab these taxes and sell the dung hills on the outskirts of Paris. Give a few more affluent provinces.
Finally, the money for buying fertilizer is also paid by farmers, but even if they don't promote farmers, they still have to buy fertilizer. If the seeds are planted, if 5 times the harvest is considered a small loss, the weather and soil fertility will affect the harvest, and they also introduced the Dutch horses. A little wealthier farmers tried to lease this kind of farmland for livestock. The effect was average. The reform of traditional farming methods can also be regarded as an attempt. In addition, the introduction of agricultural machinery has also released agricultural labor, and industrialization also requires labor.
French industry under the feudal system lags behind the United Kingdom by "a lot". It can be known from steel output that the salt tax on imported steel without tariffs has been restored. This has made many people dissatisfied.
Originally, the "cooking lady" managed the canteen of the Tuileries Palace, but after the French high-level collective "strike", she was replaced.
The British also don't like this policy. The Peace of Amiens is called the Judgment of Subjugation by the main combatants. The Iron and Steel Group now sees the huge market potential of France, and it is almost impossible to put Napoleon's sculptures in their own homes.
The carrying capacity of horse-drawn wagons is different from that of steam engines. The inter-provincial railways are currently not built with technology, but horse-drawn coaches have already been laid in the city of Paris.
The carriage in the English city has a limited speed. Unlike the carriage in France, this thing was originally only owned by the nobles. They were basically fine if they ran over the beggar. If this happened in the UK, someone would have beaten the noble.
Potatoes are easy to promote in the UK. In France, 99 of 100 farmers are unwilling to eat them. German horses only eat oats, and farmers eat oats. They are completely unaware that their living conditions are similar to those of animals.
Potato stew is regarded as a "forced push", but fortunately it tastes good, and it is nice to take a hot bath when you are full.
The refugees were arrested to solve their jobs. The construction of the canal did absorb a lot of labor, but the number of people who fled to Paris was still increasing, and there were no shortage of homeless people on the street. There are also some temporary agricultural workers who feel that the machine has taken their jobs. They hate the "cook girl" very much, and even attacked her.
The other is a rumor that seems true or false. She was poisoned and assassinated in St. Luke's Palace. Not everyone is happy to see her alive and let Britain and France become "close allies."
No one is going to pursue this matter, but Bonaparte canceled St. Luke's coffee, so people began to miss the restaurant that used to be the roadside cafe of the Tuileries.
Sugar beet production is another industry promoted by Bonaparte, but farmers still don't want to grow it. France also has tropical colonies like Santo Domingo. Unlike the Holy Roman Empire, they were forced to invent sugar beet production without a tropical colony. Sugar.
Santo Domingo is very difficult to fight. Free men do not want to be slaves. Another problem is that New Orleans is the mouth of the Mississippi River. If the products of Louisiana are to be shipped out, the ports on the east coast are controlled by the Americans. . Before the signing of the church-state agreement, the Pope's special envoy, Caprala, was kidnapped. He used to say that he had forgotten who kidnapped him. Then Bonaparte issued a pardon to impose sanctions on American goods.
Jefferson also raised tobacco tariffs for counter-sanctions, and the British benefited a lot from this.
The French love to smoke, regardless of whether they are men or women. It is as difficult for them to quit smoking as it is for the British to quit drinking. Bonaparte gave private tobacco to the monopoly to collect tobacco taxes. In contrast, the price of British cigarettes is much cheaper.
William Pitt Jr. is clutching the corruption problem of the East India Company. How did the charter of the saltpeter transported from India to the United States by the Danish cargo ship appear on the table of the French Ministry of Intelligence?
The United States wants to buy equipment for making gunpowder from France, so that it will no longer be pinched by the United Kingdom.
France wanted British engineers, and a Scottish engineer who had provided thresher for Washington was dug over. Farmers can't afford to buy equipment and can rent them. The Paris Agricultural Association proposed farming loans. Generally speaking, the new emperor will have some likable policies. Bonaparte was rather unlucky, having encountered natural disasters for two consecutive years.
In the second year, even with large-scale planting, there was no increase in production, and overall it was a loss. He asked Gabriel Uvral to buy grain, and this man bought two million quintals of wheat, but he also asked the King of Spain to open a lot of blank charters to ship back Spanish silver coins in Mexico.
Is he just for this purpose? Of course not. He opened a shipping company similar in nature to a South China Sea company, but his ships can really trade in South America. The British, French, and Spanish fleets cannot intercept him in accordance with the peace treaty. American warships catch pirates and pirates in Morocco. I didn't even see the sail.
Because of the incident, no one suddenly thought of how to deal with him. The British method was to suspend the charter. The French Minister of the Interior also meant the same. The charter would breed inequality, and the company with the charter would have priority.
The speculators specialize in places that no one else could think of. Napoleon's two crossings of the Alps did not catch the Austrians by surprise, especially the second time, he actually asked a group of beggars to dress up as soldiers for inspection and deceive spies all over the world.
In addition to land and sea, the Orange War was blocked by the British navy. The Portuguese bourgeoisie also wanted to follow the example of France for a revolution. Later, the British warship took the Portuguese royal family away in advance.
There are legends that they were transported to South America, and even moved to Rio de Janeiro, but later they returned from the island when everything was peaceful. The British did not say who provided this information. Someone asked, these lobster soldiers were also full of ambiguous faces. laugh.
Regarding the issue of Santo Domingo, the "cooking lady" gave Sir Merrie of the British stationed in France a document at the Veterans Square where the Industrial Exposition was held. At that time, she was almost arrested on charges of espionage.
This woman once said that Caesar was indifferent to Cicero. Anthony was courteous and polite to Cicero, but finally killed him. Octavian paid tribute to Cicero, but severely suppressed his allies.
Bonaparte made Siers the chairperson of the Senate, but cleared the other republicans from the parliament. When people were planning to attack him, the "cook lady" found these people in her salon and put them Introduced to other departments.
I promised to give pensions to the relatives of soldiers who died in battle. The money was not given. Later, a member of the council who was kicked out was responsible for distributing the money to the widows and at least letting them have the money to pay the rent.
Women are different from men, they want someone to listen. When Josephine and the noble ladies listened to their difficulties while distributing the bread, one by one they shed tears of sadness. After they donated the money, the money was given out in the form of pensions.
The hard days have passed for a long time. The widows did not dare to spend too much time. They still had to pay rent or make emergency situations. The congressman had expected their consumption and economic stimulus plan had not been realized. Even if they had the necessities of life, they went to the pawnshop to buy them.
In the old system, some aristocratic women knew that common people had a hard life, and they were willing to take out the gold and silver threads in their clothes to express their frugality. There are also some "marshal ladies". They were civilians before. After marrying generals, they lived the life of a noblewoman. They embraced everywhere, as if they wished to restore the Versailles ball.
It was robbed during the Revolution of Versailles. It was a fluke that it was not burned, and it was turned into a barracks.
There is a legend in the palace that Louis XIV never left. Originally, Josephine was the mistress of the Tuileries, but she said that the ghost of Marie Antoinette was inside and refused to live, so she moved back. After Malmaison, all the mirrors of Malmaison are covered with black veil.
Ottens lived in the Tuileries for a period of time. Later, the rumors spread more and more. After marriage, she moved to another residence with Louis. There is a rumor that the child in her belly is not Louis's, but Napoleon's. Josephine was so sad that she went to the hot springs to recuperate, so that the first ruling became "ownerless".
The "cooking lady" was transferred to the former residence of the Grand Duke of Burgundy. She may be doing some experimentation, and when the scandal broke out, she could not deal with it.
Bonaparte had a romantic affair in Milan. The Italian opera star named Gracini and her lover who had served as a Beethoven violinist walked on Napoleon's front feet, and their back feet were together.
The rascals questioned his problem, and they don't know who gave him six English thoroughbred "bred" horses. They are all white and have no miscellaneous hairs. The agreement almost failed to talk about it.
The world is at peace. Should the income tax in the UK, the whiskey tax in the US, and the tobacco tax in France be stopped?
When cleaning the Baominyuan, Siers had also changed, and the "cook lady" saved him.
People began to call Siers Cicero. As for Napoleon, whether it was Caesar, Anthony or Octavian, there were different opinions. He said in the administrative court: "My political system is that most people should be ruled as they wish, and they are Catholics. At the same time, I ended the war in Vendée; while becoming a ***, I gained a foothold in Egypt; while becoming a papal absolute powerist, I defeated the priests in Italy. If I rule the Jewish people, I will restore the Temple of Solomon. So in the free zone of Santo Domingo, I will talk about freedom; in Île-de-France, and even in the slave zone of Santo Domingo, I will confirm slavery, but where slavery is preserved , It needs to be tailored and restricted; where order is restored and discipline is maintained, freedom needs to be maintained. I think this is a way of recognizing the sovereignty of the people."
This is the key point. Who wants to be ruled under a democratic system?
The men in the salon care about their wives the least, and vice versa. In an era when people only live socially and live socially, they do not need to be polite to French ladies, but must be courteous to them. Just like an absolute monarch, there are all kinds of harsh requirements, and they are not allowed to be reserved. .
Men want to get their favor by applying powder, wearing fancy, lace, rose, and leaf-colored clothes, learning to compliment others, and saying witty and beautiful things, looking like giant dolls. And the refugees he met on the street were unclothed, holding a simple mace made of nails and wooden sticks in his hands. What is his chance of surviving after being robbed?
Girls can learn swordsmanship, but it is more like a dance. The servant serving the princess drinks 12 cups of coffee a day. This fee is also paid by the princess, and she really paid it.
The "cooking lady" gave the job of receiving Italians to Mrs. Talian, the "Mother of the Hot Moon". She occupied the former princess mansion, and Mrs. Talian happened to be Gabriel Ufrar's wife.
Two words, splurge and pomp. They know the principal ballerinas of the Paris Opera House, and these artists often come to them to perform.
Napoleon's adjutant once persuaded Grassini to accept this “system”, but the artist can do nothing and treat money and power as dung, and the lovers fled to Russia. Grassini's matter not only tarnished Bonaparte, but also tarnished the Italians. In order to cover up the influence of the scandal, Bonaparte took the "cooking lady" and rode on the Champs Elysées in an open carriage. That was a real big scene.
Along the way, there are loud yelling, and some yelling shamelessly. Polygamy men envy women and hate women. Compared with "cooking mothers", Grassini's choice to escape seems worthy of admiration.
The soldiers of ancient Rome were stationed in the cities. They would not station in the wilderness outside the city. So did Napoleon's army. A soldier named Coperne was deceived by others and committed suicide later. Once, Bonaparte, furious, sent a military doctor to force the woman to vaccinate.
How terrible smallpox is, but what's even more terrifying is that the girl's beautiful face was ruined for a lifetime after the smallpox was out.
The soldiers who had been deceived from feelings brought their sabers and comrades in arms, and worked with the military doctors to vaccinate the girls.
Some people think what is terrible about getting acne? This is the same as those who don't know what terrible is going to be buried in a black uniform after taking off their uniforms.
Josephine's real name is Rose Boarnet, and no one knows the real name of "Ms. Cook", but Giorgioanna is her name.
She manages the Sèvre Ceramic Factory, but there is nothing to manage. She mainly uses the proceeds to buy patents and subsidizes the poor students of the Polytechnic Institute. Therefore, she has contact with the French academicians.
Josephine didn't know what he thought. Even the people and the ministers felt that this British woman was a threat. They lived together in the Little Trianon for a while, but they were forced to separate. So they refuted the rumors that Bonaparte was in the evening. I sneaked out to see her, not Grassini.
"Hey." Lucius interrupted Alessandro.
"What?" Alessandro didn't know why.
At this moment, the electric lights in the house began to flicker, as if the voltage was unstable.
"I have no eyesight." Lucius said, "I don't even know what to say and what not to say."
"Go on." Severus said calmly.
"Because he is changeable, so a poet said, 'What a hero, what a chameleon.' This person was caught in a lunatic asylum and locked up."
"Do you think you have a chance to enter the lunatic asylum?" Lucius asked Severus.
"You think he didn't use the liquor tax to repair the canal. What did that money do?" Severus asked Lucius.
"I know, Sonny Mountain Road." Alessandro said, "There is another ten million owed."
"What is owed?" Lucius asked.
"The money was borrowed from London for disaster relief. This money is not a loan from the King." Alessandro said.
"She wants to be a queen?" Lucius asked Severus?
"She prefers daydreaming, being Merlin of King Arthur." Severus said with a sullen face.
Lucius shook his head, "It's disgusting."
"What else do you know about Portugal?" Severus asked.
"I heard it was about wine." Alessandro said, "France requires Britain to impose the same tariffs on their wine as Portugal."
"It's impossible." Lucius said firmly.
"Why?" Alessandro asked.
"I think I understand why that church uses a Portuguese patron saint." Lucius looked at Severus. "Do you want to understand?"
