Chapter 1275 Legionofhonor

  For most men, giving their lives for the country is a duty.

  But few people will contribute their wives for the country.

  Daughter can be regarded as a political marriage. Napoleon Bonaparte seems to have imagined a story by himself. Severus brought Georgian to the first rule in France for the sake of Britain.

  He did need gold, and the toll collected from local blood sucking was quickly used up, but the 30 million francs budget of the Canal Saint-Martin was still missing.

  In addition to food, people need clean water to live. The current situation in the UK is very bad. Because of the "Bread and Blood" movement, the price of food in the UK has become the first in Europe. I am afraid that no normal-thinking person will feel glorious.

There is a poverty tax in the United Kingdom. This was originally a place where the British system was superior to the French system. Even if the poor did not have enough money to buy bread, they could not starve to death. Now it has become a loophole. Finance Minister Addington cannot print endlessly. Paper money can be used to spend the money on the hungry people in the country by cutting the Royal Navy’s military expenditures.

  Isn’t the French navy gone? Using the natural obstacle of the English Channel can block the French army. Moreover, the imminent domestic turmoil needs to be settled more than Napoleon, who is "far in the sky."

  The common people thought it was money when they held the banknotes. One by one, they were “dazzled” by it. It was impossible to fool Napoleon with the banknotes. Britain needed gold reserves to buy French food.

  The French navy can't break through the blockade of British warships, let alone a few bankers. Money can open the way on most occasions, but it does not work for soldiers who have national responsibility, a sense of mission, and a sense of glory.

Britain’s trump card is the development of capitalism, which guarantees that industry has an invincible advantage, but it has not yet developed to the point of giving up its own agriculture. Imported grain only accounts for one-sixth of the country’s grain consumption. There is no shortage of food enough to starve people to death. There is no Baltic Sea and the United States and Canada.

  What really affects the British people’s food import threat is the price. The Corn Law issued in 1815 stipulates that domestic grains can be imported only when the “average price” of domestic grains reaches or exceeds a certain level.

  Corn stands for corn in English. Corn is very high-yielding. A large amount of grain input will make grain prices fall. When grain prices are lower than 80 shillings per quart, imports are absolutely prohibited.

  Napoleon released the news and asked French bankers to buy grain from the UK and the Netherlands, which made the market more “hot”.

  Famine is coming, everyone quickly grab food.

Even people who are not short of food will also hoard at home. The market is even more short of food. Food prices continue to rise. There are also the Whig Party and the Tory Party in the UK, which represent the interests of the financial sector, the business class and the landlord class. In the struggle between political parties and factions, the Whig Party represents the "aggressive Scottish Presbyterians".

  Internal fighting was full of joy, and none of them would care about the life and death of civilians.

  Although Giorgioanna did not know who had the idea to buy French food with gold, Napoleon did want to agree. He just wanted to transfer the responsibility to Giorgioanna.

  She is a British woman. Both Caesar and Anthony were fascinated by Cleopatra. When doing things that harm Rome’s interests, it is not surprising that his little Napoleon did ridiculous things.

  This person is bad because after he shirks responsibility, he also told her about the matter, to let her know that there is no shortage of food in the UK, or that it is not as scarce as the market. The South China Sea incident reflects that the British are not calm about the market. Just like the French are not calm about politics, they will make wrong judgments, just like the Portuguese riots. Those who obeyed the instigation of the royal party and took up arms. The same as civilians.

   Riot can use cannonballs to let those who think they are safe know what fear is, and then quit the game.

  The chaos in the UK requires time and good news to slow down the panic.

  Under a democratic system, the people are slaves to public opinion. Napoleon does not read French newspapers. In his words, "Everything in our newspapers is written according to my will."

  But he understands English, and he can read British newspapers. Because of the blockade in Egypt, he still knows from British newspapers what the government did during his absence in the country.

  He would browse the newspapers every morning when he had a haircut and shaved his beard. Although he did not allow French newspapers to write indiscriminately, his power had not yet extended to Britain and Germany. He could not control what the newspapers of other countries wrote.

  How much Georgiana hopes that the British newspapers can include the words "the thief" and "the Corsican monster" in the article.

  She was originally a decent person, able to be a decent teacher, teaching children how to be an upright and virtuous person.

  Don't mention setting an example now, what she is doing now fully meets the standards of a "slut".

  She treated the mince in front of her as someone’s meat and chopped it fiercely with a knife.

  Perhaps because she was too murderous, everyone else in the kitchen retreated. The French are very confident in their own cuisine and cooking skills, and English cuisine and French cuisine are completely incomparable.

  However, Rambouillet’s kitchen is now in charge of the "Mrs. English", and all the chefs who are recruited from the major restaurants in Paris must listen to her. They were asked to use herbs, woody, nuts, and fungi found in forests and swamps, and these foods that can be obtained from anywhere, to make a table of magnificent delicacies.

  The price of meat has of course also risen. At a certain point, civilians will not be able to eat meat, but the rich and powerful do not have to worry about this. They should be hungry like civilians, except in places like battlefields.

They mainly want to behave and show that they eat the same ingredients as the common people. As for the common people who do not taste so delicious, it is a matter of their own craftsmanship. It is the same reason that they cannot win the children of the rich in the scholarship test. Your own strength is not enough.

  The same meat with spices and without spices are two flavors. Georgian understands this, but these chefs can't treat her as a fool and buy all the expensive spices.

  She was small and looked very young at her age, but she was despised as a result.

  A small bottle of high-quality safflower from Iran can be worth the same amount of gold. They squandered it at will and planned to steal it. She originally wanted to do things well and happily and happily. Making delicious and innovative dishes is a pleasant process. As a result, they did so and she had to control some expensive spices.

  She thought that doing so would make the proud French chefs go away, but they chose to stay, but the kitchen did not have the joyful atmosphere at the beginning, more of a militarized silence.

   Cooking at home is different from a restaurant. Every chef has his own team, and everyone has a clear division of labor. The Rambouillet feast does not require all the chefs invited to stay, and there is also competition among these cooperating chefs.

The chef is like a "general", giving orders to his assistants with a solemn expression. The experimental dishes actually started before they came to Rambouillet. The restaurant is also a well-informed place. Many powerful and powerful people will go to the restaurant to eat. , Will become friends with one or two chefs.

  Let’s not mention the issue of history. If you can win the favor of the first ruling party or take the top spot in the banquet, you will attract many customers when you return to your restaurant in the future, and you can even open your own shop.

  Of course, it is serious to work for yourself. It is in your own interests. They will also supervise their team without Georgian supervision.

The accumulated amount of spices consumed daily is also a large number, but she chooses to let it go. The creator will experience failure in the first place, and failure will cause losses. She will not squeeze them in this regard and ask them to save, even the expensive spices. They are not strict with some people, she just needs to stare at the few cooks who sneak and rape.

  She will not fire them just because they stole something. She wants them to work uncomfortably. Of course, she can’t be creative in a bad mood. It takes inspiration to make delicious and innovative food.

  They have basically been eliminated, unless they really want to make a difference, the feeling of watching others succeed is more uncomfortable than not seeing them, especially when they were originally a starting line, but they lost the game because of their own problems.

  When others add a halo and enjoy the glory amidst thunderous applause, I regret not being the first. Seeing the face of the "loser", the other abiding by the rules will be more abiding, after all, they don't want to end up like those people.

  She was not proud of her methods, and she began to understand why the house elves at Hogwarts liked Severus more than she was a good person to them.

Grindelwald said that Albus was a hypocrite, and Severus also said that she was a fake and kind. A truly chaste woman would not fall into the arms of other men like her. She was just like Albus and was dogged by dogma. Restrictions to restrict their words and deeds.

  Albus locked Grindelwald in the tower, he also locked himself in the tower, disguising himself, and being careful not to let others know that he was a homosexual.

  As for herself, she has no resistance to talented men. She is also an unruly woman in her bones, but she has not met people such as Leonardo da Vinci or Shakespeare who are good at painting and poetry.

  If you don’t want to be infamous, the best thing is to stay away from temptation. She wants to learn Letizia live in seclusion away from the world.

  Don't even think of a man entering her house this time.

  Girls should help each other, not because of love, jealousy or oppress each other, she will help Josephine, so that the Corsican short can not easily divorce her.

  No matter how hard you work in the saline-alkali land, you still can’t grow crops. At this time, giving up and seeking new heights is the right choice.

  But that doesn’t mean to find the princess of the Habsburg family. Isn’t it the same as he appoints heirs just like Caesar?

  Wait for his fragile "King of Rome" to grow up, it is better to find an heir among adults. Of course, this means infighting, and there are many uncertainties... Oh, hell!

   "Miss Georgiana."

  She was working hard to chop meat, and Napoleon's personal servant came to her.

   "Master wants you to go up."

  She scanned the busy chefs, they were busy with their own affairs, as if they hadn’t noticed her movement at all.

With her toes, she wanted to know what it would be like to be "lively" in the kitchen as soon as she walked away, and being able to approach the "scandal" so close, if the newspaper were not now controlled by Napoleon, they would definitely sell the "insider" to tabloid reporters. .

The French soldiers who surrendered, the English women who did not obey women's ways, what Caesar and Cleopatra, were obviously Justinian and Theodora, and the nasty gangsters who served as prostitutes, were all already discredited, and what reputation do they need? Care about the opinions of others.

  She was so heroic that she inserted the knife into the wooden chopping board, untied her apron, and quietly followed the male servant out of the kitchen.

  Nor did she play with prestige and threaten those cooks to work hard while she was away.

  They are artists, and they can’t be too constrained, but sometimes inspiration is like lemon juice, which requires a squeeze.

  This kitchen is actually hers, just like the greenhouse, but this time she doesn’t have to abide by the education law, and she doesn’t have to tolerate those "little supermen" and become her true self.

  I just don’t know how long this kind of freedom can last, because her French lover who loves freedom finally lost her freedom and changed from a lion in the wilderness to a lion in a desert island.

  She was not sure if she would follow him to become a prisoner on the desert island, she didn't mind the desolation, she had lived in the desert before.

  She just felt that Severus had suffered so many crimes that she couldn't let the culprit live too comfortably.

  Up until now, she still wants to protect his honor, although it is futile to do so.

  At the riverbank that day, he helped her to untie her fetters. Although he was provocative but still flirting, he suddenly lost control.

  This is the end of doing things without going through the brain. He messed up everything, and it was all his fault.

  After leaving the kitchen of the castle of Rambouillet, she heard gunshots.

   Rambouillet territory also has a hunting ground, as if he was hunting in the woods with his guests.

  It looks like a king.

  She didn't want to participate in the hunt, but she didn't know what he told her to do, because Josephine was there and he didn't dare to do anything unusual in the castle. It might not be necessary to leave the castle.

  Fortunately, the male servant took her upstairs, and not the bedroom to go to, but the tower where the study was located.

  When the valet opened the door, the light outside the window was so dazzling that she dazzled her eyes. Later, she found that Bonaparte was standing by the window, drinking wine and enjoying the scenery.

  In addition to his height, he is indeed an elegant person. There is no crowded and noisy Paris, no dirty streets, only clean blue sky, forests, lakes, and vast farmland.

  This territory originally belonged to Louis XVI, where Francois I died. The owners of the castle dug rivers and ponds and built gardens. Later, Marie Antoinette also lived here, but she didn’t like Gothic, so Louis XVI converted the garden into an English-style garden. .

  Now Napoleon is looking at the garden, Josephine is setting up the meeting place, but when he noticed someone coming, he turned his attention to her.

She felt jealous for a moment, but she quickly remembered the Malfoy manor, when Severus and Draco were setting up a maze. When he noticed her appearing on the balcony on the second floor, his black eyes kept looking. Holding her.

  Such a good man, she should cherish it, stay at home obediently, instead of going to this Vanity Fair to fool around.

   It seems that Albus’ desire for power has also affected her, and Napoleon is her Grindelwald.

   "Come here." He said to her, walking to the desk.

  The servant closed the door and went out. She walked to the table and found a dozen small boxes on the table.

   "Jewelry?" she said incredulously, even feeling a little offended.

   "Open it and take a look." He smiled mysteriously, smelling the aroma of wine in the crystal glass.

  Georgiana opened one of the boxes suspiciously.

  There is no jewelry, but a bronze medal with a red ribbon.

   "Choose a style you like, and it will become the French Legion of Honor in the future." Napoleon put down the crystal glass and opened another box. The medals and diamonds in it were gorgeous and looked like jewelry.

   "I don't think I should choose this." She put the box down. "It should be up to you or Josephine to choose."

  "Have you ever thought about what honor is?" He put down the box in his hand and looked at her with an almost arrogant attitude.

   "Something you can't take away easily." She said calmly.

   "Do you love me or hate me? You seem to think that I am your enemy."

"I am English……"

   "I can smell French cheese on you." He interrupted her. "Soldiers are very sensitive to the smell of women."

  She raised her hand and slapped him.

  He is not angry at all, but smiles very ambiguously "There is a farm in the territory, how about we go to taste the cheese?"

  "If you want to eat cheese, there is..."

   "I want to eat another kind of cheese." He interrupted her, holding her hand in both hands, leaving a kiss on the back of her hand, his eyes fixed on her.

  "Who do you think I am?" She withdrew her hand. "Are you a village girl in your territory? Lord Lord?"

  He got closer, "Come with me, I'll show you around."

  He touched the button on her dress with his fingertips, as if he was about to untie it at any time.

To make it easier to work in the kitchen, she dressed just like the big open-necked clothes worn by the milkmaid. She vowed to change it to airtight and cover all the neck down, although it would be very hot. .

   "I don't want to play this kind of game with you." She was a little disgusted and said, "You made me the kind of woman I ever hated to destroy other people's families."

  "Me too. You made me a ‘little prodigal’." He smiled and said, "Your husband has become a poor man like me. Do you think he will divorce you?"

   "I don't know." She reluctantly said, "I can understand his divorce from me."

   "I also hope he can choose this way. A woman like you is not worth it." He said contemptuously in her ear.

   "Why didn't you hit me?" he asked after a while.

   "You are right, why should I hit you." She grabbed his hand and motioned for him to follow her.

  In the end, he threw it away.

   "Choose one." He pointed to the medal on the table and said.

   "I am not qualified."

  "You must choose me or him. I won't let a woman like you live in the monastery alone." He took a sip of wine. "That's a waste."

  "Are you talking about medals or..."

   "Both." He said arrogantly, just like the first time he met at the Tuileries. "Don't want to be a deserter, Georgiana, do you think you don't need to choose if you don't deserve it?"

   "What?" she asked inexplicably.

"Victory, proud of heaven, and darling whatever you call it." Bonaparte said with some excitement. "Even if I conquer the world and cannot win, he is also a loser. Even if he has nothing, he is a winner if he has you. Hell, How did he succeed in his marriage proposal!"

"You can't divorce Josephine while she is alive. You can't marry another woman if you don't get a divorce. That would be a crime of bigamy, General, don't tell me that you want to promote polygamy in the Christian world." She smiled and said, "If that's the case, it's easy. I don't have to choose from the two of you. Can you accept sharing a woman with another man?"

   Bonaparte was so angry that she was about to strangle her.

  She twisted the Corsican Greek nose, took his hand and left the study.

  Compared with choosing the medal style, it’s not that hard to accept that it’s not that difficult to roll in the pasture like a village girl.

Although there is a comfortable house in the castle, this is her bottom line. She will never fool around with her husband in the house where Josephine lives. It will violate her sovereignty, although leaving the main house and going to the haystack is essentially the same. same.

  This is the respect she can bestow to Josephine.
