Chapter 1260 Apostate Byzantine Greeks

  After breakfast, Alice and Mrs. Leoncourt went to the Grand Trianon in a carriage together, while Giorgioanna stayed at home with Leoncourt’s grandchildren.

  They did not talk in the secret room, but chose a garden facing the street, so that not only the servants at home could see it, but the pedestrians on the side of the road could also see that they were wearing clothes and talking about business.

  This kind of widow’s clothes has both advantages and disadvantages. Widowed women sometimes inherit the inheritance of their fathers and husbands, but widowed women are also prone to have a romantic affair with young men, just like Josephine and Lucien’s newlywed wives.

  Mr. Leoncourt is old. Lance is still a child. With two women, he is a family hostage. If Leoncourt’s son causes something to do in other provinces, his family will be the first to be unlucky.

  Pomona estimated that the family members of the financiers and bankers he had heard in the study were also under control yesterday, just as he used Josephine to control the wife of Governor Ballas before the Wuyue coup.

The more you understand Napoleon’s man, the more you can feel his horror. The men yesterday thought about the 2% of the two percent that they could get from this sale, but they forgot that the food was to be arrived. The amount of Paris is calculated.

  The French navy was destroyed. Napoleon was trying his best to rebuild, but before he broke out of the British navy’s blockade, French merchant ships could not go out to sea and fishing boats could not catch them. Napoleon liked to eat Mediterranean fish. He hadn’t eaten them for a long time because of the British blockade.

  It’s all the meat on your lips, how can you not eat it? To transport the food that "arrived" and "arrived" in the ports of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, French merchant ships cannot be used, and a neutral country merchant ship is needed. After the British warship bombarded Copenhagen, no neutral country dared to help France at will, only American merchant ships. And the fleet still has that ability.

  However, the United States and France are currently in a state of severed diplomatic relations. France has many plantation owners whose land is in the New World. They wish that the United States would immediately lift its independence and return to its former French rule.

  You need warships to reach the New World. If you want warships, you need to build ships. Then you need to pay to repair warships and use diplomatic means to deal with Britain without paying. To control maritime superiority is to control maritime trade. In addition to the Egyptian expeditionary force, the British also captured many French navies, and warships needed people to drive.

  In other words, to transport these grains from the UK back to France unharmed, one cannot imagine that after giving the money, the grains will fly back to the European continent from Britain.

  Three-quarters of Britain’s food imports came from a port in Danzig, Poland. After taking control of Danzig, and then pulling the New World America to France, Britain was almost blocked. Even if it takes time to grow potatoes, Ireland is also politically unstable. In a country with such a high degree of urbanization and industrialization in the UK, where can we find skilled farmers for farming?

  The enclosure movement is not just about sheep eating people. People who cross the enclosure will not easily contribute their land. The British continue to be obsessed with numbers, and sooner or later they will be starved to death.

  In addition to the maritime defenses, there is also a rebellion in western France. Everyone knows who this is. After the two sea and land blockades, traffic taxes were required to reach areas controlled by the Napoleonic government. Before the outbreak of the Revolution, indirect taxes had been criticized by the citizens, and they had to pay taxes on their consumption. The Chancellor of the Exchequer Godin himself was not sure to restore this tax. .

Napoleon passed the city toll tax. This cost is borne by business travelers. Normally, if the cost is too high, the merchants will increase the price to make up for their losses. However, the price of food in Paris cannot rise, and the unit price cannot be multiplied by the quantity. Under the premise of the change, if these bankers did not go all out to think of ways to save money and effort, they might have to pay for Napoleon's work at a loss.

In fact, instead of using the French navy, French merchant ships, or American merchant ships, the French still have a way to transport goods, that is, privateers. This type of ship also has a name, called legal pirates. It is too late for ordinary businessmen to run into pirates. Now she has to take the initiative to deal with them. Miss Georgiana kindly reminded some rumors to hear the news, and the liberal aristocrat who almost jumped into the fire pit reined in time to avoid being the same as Napoleon’s secretary and aging prematurely before retirement at a young age.

  Making money, of course, I want to make easy, simple and quick ways to make money. Make some delicious and sweet cakes and breads, and look at the happy faces of customers. Isn’t it good to make money happily? Why do you want to seek skins from fierce pirates and tigers?

  This is just what Mr. Leoncourt and his friends figured out. The deeper they understand, the more they feel that the first ruling is unfathomable. The family members of the bankers who have agreed to Napoleon’s terms have been controlled, and it is too late to repent and leak their secrets.

  When the bottle is opened, it must be dried, even if it is bitter, drink it.

  The Corsican dwarf exercises a high-handed rule, and this high-handedness is not just a curse.

  If you change another person or another occasion, any madman would dare to point to the nose of so many high-ranking French officials and curse for two hours. The arrogant Frenchman would never sit in a chair obediently and be scolded.

  Napoleon scolded them, they would only doubt themselves, whether there were any details that they had overlooked, trembling in self-doubt and self-correction.

A high degree of education does not mean a high IQ. Napoleon never went to college. Many of the officials in the room had a higher degree of education than him. Pomona didn’t know what it was like to be crushed by the IQ of the same sex. What's it like.

  But before she smirked, her sanity returned, and Severus appeared in her heart.

  After regaining her rationality, she soon realized that this method is not a long-term solution. The bankers will become less motivated. If the famine continues until next year, the food prices in Paris will eventually rise.

This is Bonaparte’s usual style, which left long-term pains after triggering a dazzling victory. His strengths and weaknesses coexist. The strengths are dazzling, and the weaknesses are more conspicuous. Danze is in Poland, he In order to win Poland, I am afraid that she will still be with that Mrs. Valevska.

   "The lending Miss Georgiana just mentioned was also the instruction of the first ruling?" After the long talk, Mr. Leoncourt began to ask the question.

   "Why do you have such an idea?"

  "You are here to do good deeds. How can people who do good deeds think of lending?"

   "Then you think I should lend to those bakery shop owners interest-free?"

  Leon Cour, but smiled.

"Let me tell you what will happen. The money I loaned to the bakery owner is interest-free. The owner will receive an additional 2 cents and lend it to others. He doesn’t have to do anything to get income. In the end, I not only did not do it. Good deeds will also nourish loan sharks. The funds will flow to another pond like flowing water. This way, even if my original intention is good, bad deeds will be done. So I need to make a suitable rule, the interest rate is appropriate, and also To cooperate with the legal terms and the contract, and lock people's desires like a halter, I need your help, Mr. Leoncourt." Pomona said modestly.

  "Where did you learn this?" Mr. Leoncourt asked.

   "My husband." Pomona said helplessly.

  In the world on that side, the Fed borrowed money at low interest rates to stimulate the rapid development of real estate.

  "You'd better call him your ex-husband, otherwise His Excellency Bonaparte will be very upset." Mr. Leoncourt reminded "Should our loan recipients prioritize veterans?"

"I know that there are many beggars who are veterans, but we can't lend them money." Pomona said coldly. "They can't pay back the money, and they are not as simple as my friends. They didn't grab any spoils. Do they have bad habits like gambling?"

  Mr. Leoncourt did not answer.

"We see that they lend money to them because they are veterans, and they use it to gamble. If we lose our capital, it doesn't matter. Those who really need to borrow not only cannot borrow, but also pay attention to the social impact. There will be talks between each other. This loan can only be used for special purposes. It is only lent to the small bakery that went bankrupt because of the famine. You should train the children and let them do it." Pomona said to Lance "You go down first."

   "Yes, Miss Georgiana." Lance immediately stood up and left the garden.

   "What do you want to tell me?" Mr. Leoncourt asked, raising his eyebrows.

  "Church question, please tell me the truth, am I qualified to know?" Pomona said tiredly, "I don't want to be the second Madame Dubali. I went to the scene and talked nonsense."

  "This is a complicated question, but I don't think you will be the second Mrs. Dubali." Mr. Leoncourt said, "If my granddaughter has half your wisdom, I will be satisfied."

   "You said I will leave a name in history, I think I will really leave a name in history, it will only be a joke."

   "Why do you think that?"

   "He has been to the East. How many men don't want polygamy?" Pomona sneered and took a sip of black tea. "Sooner or later there will be someone younger and more beautiful than me."

   "If I were twenty years younger, I would be crazy for you." Mr. Leoncourt complimented.

   "I want to go to a refugee camp outside the city to find the sky. After seeing it on the spot, I know what to do. I hope you can accompany me."

   "Although the minister is old, his sword is still sharp, and he is willing to serve you at any time." Leoncourt stood up and bowed to Pomona.

  Pomona did not hide, and Napoleon also accepted the salute from someone older than him.

  "Your Excellency Bonaparte is especially gentle with women." Leoncourt sat back on his own and said to Georgianna, "I heard that your Excellency has clearly stated that you don't want male monks, but you can accept nuns to run the hospital."

   “I’m really afraid that in the end, instead of letting the church be accepted by society again, we will compete with the church for popular support.”

   "If you wear this suit, it really doesn't seem to help the poor." Leoncourt looked at Pomona. "This is the craftsmanship of the former court tailor."

   "Could it be that I still need to find some clothes made of fine Gebu?"

   "That would seem too deliberate, how can Your Excellency Bonaparte can't even afford women's clothes."

   "Then what should I wear?"

   "Now I hope my wife and daughter are here." Leoncourt said in confusion, "I'm really not good at female clothes."

  Pomona was in a very complicated mood. Three men left their marks on her body.

  The first one was Albus, who taught Pomona to be frugal.

  The second one is Severus. The knowledge about Muggle finance was learned from him and Lucius.

  The third is Napoleon. He taught her how to spend money and has a higher vision.

  Any part missing will not be her now.

  After feeling sad for a moment, she suddenly realized a problem, and suddenly the tea cup in her hand fell to the ground.

   Leoncourt looked at her in confusion.

   "What happened, Miss Georgiana?"

   "Napoleon Bonaparte!!!" She screamed angrily, and Mr. Leoncourt was even more confused.

   "You take me to find him now!"

  "Tell me first, what do you want to do with him?" Leoncourt said calmly.

   "I have something to ask him." Pomona calmed down a bit, she can only hope that she thinks more.

   "Maybe, I can do it for... well, I will prepare the car." Leoncourt finally changed his mind.

  After he left, Pomona began to roll up her sleeves and check her skin. It was still the same as before, but she was still worried.

   "Wait for me to find you...ah!" She stamped her feet with anger, she couldn't wait.
