Harry Potter's Morning Light Chapter 1897

Chapter 1897 Father'swatch (5)

Many people who come to work in this garden are from the town of Sèvres. It is not far from Versailles and Saint Luke. Sometimes you hear some rumors in the palace.

In the Palace of Versailles, illness and death are not uncommon. Once the royal family member leaves his or her body for the last breath, his or her gilded bedroom will become a butcher's butcher's shop. And those nobles or maids who accompany the deceased for a lifetime are often in a state of distress, but whether they are really sad for the death of the deceased or sad for their own future, when the body of the deceased is cut into pieces At that time they had to stand by the bed and witness it all.

The doctor must find out the cause of death of the deceased, whether it was due to poisoning or death caused by diseases or infectious diseases. If it is poisoned, none of these attendants can escape, and to prevent someone from saying that they were framed by others. , So they must witness the process of dissection.

Generally speaking, there will be a light next to it. After the belly is cut, the liver is taken out first. The most obvious sign of poisoning is the liver. If there is no problem, it will be placed in a silver tray and handed to a duke. Madam, next is the heart. Seven or eight doctors recorded the findings and announced the cause of death.

In addition to the abdominal cavity, the skull was also to be opened. Prince Condé was found to have a tumor in his head when Louis XIV died, which explained his crazy and frightening behavior.

But this kind of madness is still a lot worse than the ladies in the harem, because they all know that they can get everything if they are favored by the king. Absolute kingship has all powers and can own everything in the kingdom. Unlike a constitutional monarchy, the king is subject to various restrictions and can do whatever he wants.

Enjoyment and dance are the themes of the palace. Outsiders call it Sanshou Palace. There are no worries or sorrows in it. If there are too many masquerades, they feel that they are not new, so they try to figure out how to open new themed dances. The nobles and gentlemen would eat raw oysters and drink champagne in luxurious restaurants. Compared with Napoleon's difficult heirs, the Bourbon dynasty spread quickly. Madame Montespan and Louis XIV had 7 illegitimate children. Does not include the birth of him and other mistresses.

However, such a high birth rate is not worth mentioning in the face of the same high death rate. Versailles is also a place where infectious diseases are rampant, and Louis XV died of smallpox.

When Napoleon's army was stationed in Versailles, it was soon discovered that there was no toilet inside. Even if there was, it was specially used by a very small number of nobles. Most ordinary nobles would solve it on the spot when there was nowhere to go. This is true. Same as the poor in Paris.

Bonaparte has encountered the case of attrition due to infectious diseases. The place where so many people gather requires clean water and good sewage. He is not like traditional old aristocrats who feel that perfume is covering up the smell and can't see it. The street is full of shit.

Even though the "shit hills" accumulated outside the city for centuries have begun to be cleared away, and to make fertilizers farther away from the city, the city of Paris is still stinking. Only after returning from the outside, Bonaparte, who had been breathing in the fresh air for a long time, couldn't stand the smell and planned to rectify it, but his proposal to repair the public toilet was not accepted because he actually had to charge money for the toilet.

If the toilet is dirty, someone needs to clean it, right, right? Someone needs to clean it, right? When the barricades were cleared, the workers were paid. Of course, the ladies and the “scavengers” who cleaned the toilets were also paid, right?

The magistrate once banned the locals from urinating and defecating on a rural street. This caused protests from the villagers. What's more, Paris itself is a huge public toilet. Charles V issued an amnesty order requiring every house to be equipped with a pit, but No one paid any attention, so this pardon was forgotten like peeing in the wind.

There are still people who have something to do with morality on this issue. In ancient Rome, apart from public bathrooms, there were public toilets. Although in theory people would not do the same things in public toilets, who knows what the real situation is like?

So when the toilet could not be repaired in the city, the toilet was repaired in the restored palace first. Originally, it was also opposed. People believed that it would destroy the layout of the entire palace. Later, the School of Architecture produced a lot of design drawings. In short, the exquisite houses looked like toilets on the outside. This solved the problem.

People have always been busy destroying. Public utilities are an important part of public life. In the past, it was the king's order and the minister was responsible for the execution. For example, the Palace of Versailles and the Great Seal Garden. Now Bonaparte has lost the repair of toilets. It was given to the parliament, to be precise, those scholars who had followed him to Egypt before, let them weigh it for themselves.

The establishment of public utilities is not included in the constitutional powers of parliament. First, it needs judicial supervision. Second, it needs to meet the needs of common interests at all levels. If some public utilities are unprofitable, no one wants to do it. Although clean streets are pleasing to the bourgeoisie, paying a tax on the toilet last time is a heavy burden for low-income families. Later, someone took aim at the fertilizer factory, and they were responsible for paying for the repair of the toilet.

The department actually makes money, and there are also rich people who are willing to pay people to collect dung. They can make a fortune after making fertilizer or gunpowder. The prisoners are working at no cost.

But the last time "selling fertilizers" went so smoothly because of the central force, the forced tolls were used to buy them. It is not possible for each city to build fertilizer plants in the same way as Paris.

Haji has always heard of slow efficiency in France, and now he has a long experience.

"Foreigner, do you think public toilets should be paid?" a hearty woman asked Haji.

"No." Haji said directly.

"Then who pays for our toilet cleaning?" the woman asked again.

"Talking about the toilet all the time, you are not nauseous," said a serious-faced man.

"What's up with you!" The woman said violently.

"You just talked about Mrs. Montespan, what did she do before?" Haji asked.

No one is talking now.

But the women obviously wanted to say, just looking at the left and right, they looked like they were afraid of being seen.

"You don't tell me, I said." A younger village girl said, "Someone falsely accused Mrs. Montespan of intent to poison the king."

"Don't talk nonsense." A man warned the young girl.

"At that time, there was a poison maker named Lavazan. She specially made a kind of ecstasy to confuse the king. Didn't you say that Mrs. Sèvres drugged the milk tea? You said she drugged the king to love himself. I believe it, but if she says she will poison the king and his new love, I don't believe it.” The young girl ignored the warning and continued, “Moreover, Lavazan's customer is not just Mrs. Montespan, nor Any evidence proves that they are drug poisoners."

"What's wrong with the king?" Haji asked.

"Not the king." A middle-aged village woman said to the box containing the corpse. "It was that little **** who died. They were fighting fiercely at the time. In order to rectify the atmosphere, the king put a lot of scumbags in Vincennes Prison. There was a man named Lesage, who confessed what Lavazan had done in prison, only to be able to leave that place, including her and Mrs. Montespan's intention to poison the king. This happened for many years. If we didn't dare to say before, wouldn't it be a revolution now?"

"Is that girl implicated in?" Haji asked.

"Who knows, the official investigation." The woman took a sip of lemonade. "Mrs. Montespan asked for something for a lifetime, but was picked up by a nanny. She was called the'true queen of France' for a lifetime, but Nothing is as good as a wedding."
