Harry Potter’s Morning Light

Chapter 1288: Sword and olive branch

   Chapter 1288 Sword and Olive Branch

  On the afternoon a few days ago, Georgiana met Louis and Stephanie at the pond with swans.

  Today in almost the same place, she was going to meet the director of a large transportation company, Gaston Anthony Martin.

  A long time ago, when she was a school teacher, she would help the children with employment counseling. People like the director of Bonafor Transportation Company belonged to the role she needed to be careful in receiving.

  Now, the other party has to serve her carefully.

After the Orange War, Portugal signed a peace treaty with France. At that time, the Portuguese prime minister who was in charge of signing the peace treaty made various shirks when signing the peace treaty. In the end, Napoleon was angrily asked France to sign a war indemnity of 20 million yuan. Now this money is reserved by him and intends to use it. Come to build the road.

  Lyon also has military camps. In a place with rugged mountain roads like the Alps, a fortress is a layer of defense. This is a road that serves both commercial and military purposes.

  Just as she wanted to entrust a transportation company to buy horses from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, these horses can be used to transport grain or military rations. The transaction such as war horses is hidden in the large number of civilian horses purchased.

  The fashion for young people nowadays is not to wear hats, wigs or hair powder, and to show their original hair. The person introduced by Mrs. Leoncourt is a short middle-aged man wearing a big cocked hat. Seeing this middle-aged transporter, Giorgioanna discovered that 30-year-old Napoleon was actually an "old antique".

   "Miss Georgiana." The middle-aged man took off his hat and bent his back towards her, revealing the slightly convex top of his hair.

  At this time, she remembered that the first ruler of France had very thick hair, but she was worried that sooner or later he would be like this middle-aged man with such excessive brain use. At that time, he might not be as **** as he is now.

Some men’s **** comes from their muscles and figure, Napoleon’s **** comes from his big head. The road he will build has already been planned. The road on Mount Cerny is the first priority. This is the responsibility of the engineers. She is responsible for the road to Mount Nevel.

  In a sense, this is the joy of his boudoir. For most people, Paris is Paris, and it is definitely not associated with Rome.

  The beautiful man with a Greek nose has deep and charming eyes. Through those eyes, he can see a magnificent city...

   "Miss." Sophie pulled her arm.

  Georgianna realized that she actually asked the guests to salute all the time.

   "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm out of mind." She covered her forehead and said as if she had just woke up from a big dream.

   "I understand." Gaston Martin smiled and put on his cocked hat again. "I was young too."

  She was awkwardly unable to do it for a while.

   "I brought you a present." Martin took a box out of his jacket pocket.

"I can not accept……"

"I heard your Excellency Leoncourt say that you won't accept other people's things easily, but this gift is extraordinary." Martin opened the jewelry box, and there was an emerald brooch in the shape of an olive branch on the black velvet." When the French army entered the Pope’s territory, a notice was announced. The French army will abide by its own principles, protect religion and protect the people. The French army holds a sword in one hand, which is a reliable guarantee of victory, and an olive branch in one hand. A symbol of peace and a certificate of guardianship. Your Excellency Napoleon is holding a sword in his hand, and you are holding an olive branch in your hand. This is the first thing I think of when I want to give you a meeting gift. I hope you can accept it. It is a kind of glory and happiness for me to wear it often."

   "You can really talk, Mr. Martin." Georgiana exclaimed.

   "Then do you accept this gift?"

  "Thank you for the present." Georgiana asked Sophie to take the olive branch brooch, and then went to the table by the pond and sat down.

  The refreshing air and slightly cool wind made her mind sober, and she found that she liked this place.

   "So, where should we start?" Mr. Martin asked.

  "You must be a well-informed person, how about your knowledge?"

   "I heard that you are a bold woman, are you really not afraid of the first ruling?" Mr. Martin asked.

  She tilted her head.

"The French army encountered Colli's resistance when it entered the Papal State. He once commanded the Piedmontese army. He knew who his opponent was. He chose a good position in the high ground in front of Ancona and put his 3000 army It was arranged there, but when the French army appeared from the horizon, he and the rest of the Austrian officers made excuses to escape. The position occupied by the Roman army was very strong, and General Victor sent a messenger to the Romans to suggest that they surrender. When the negotiations were going on, the French and Italian troops outflanked their positions and surrounded the Romans. The French troops entered Ancona without firing a shot or encountering any resistance. At that time, my caravan passed by. When it came to such a scene, I felt that it could only be described by a miracle. Later, the general did not slaughter the city and released all the prisoners. I have never been proud of being a Frenchman like at that moment. A man who can hold a heavy soldier in my hand. The man who flees from the warlord, miss you are not afraid at all. I am curious where your courage comes from?"

  She began to remember.

   "He is not the kind of bloodthirsty who kills for fun." Georgiana said, "If I don't give him a reason to hurt me, then why would he hurt me?"

  "But there are many people in Italy who say that the first ruling is a devil. I wonder if you have heard of Pavia."

  "I know that the fear caused by rumors is sometimes more terrifying than the truth. Leon is just a person. He still has many bad habits. I think it is more difficult to adapt to his bad habits than to fear him."

  "Could you tell me what the bad habits of Lord Bonaparte are?" Mr. Martin said with a smile.

   "Let's keep him a little secret." She smiled and said, "How is the work of Mr. Leoncourt?"

"The reality is very different from what he thinks. The large farms in Lower Seine County have been dismembered, let alone the farmer model he thought." Mr. Martin said, "Most self-cultivators still have too little land to rotate farming. Land rent is increasing, the burden of tenant farmers is increasing, and the number of odd jobs from rural to urban areas is increasing. Peasants from Alsace, Lorraine, and Rhine region emigrate to Russia under the pretext of poverty. Now the first ruling power is building roads and fortifications on the border. They have been temporarily prevented from relocating, but after these projects are completed, the fate of farmers is still a problem. I am afraid that compulsory measures will be taken to prevent them from relocating."

   "Why are they moving away?"

  "Military service, in addition to Louis XVIII in Russia, quite a lot of peasants were loyal to the king, and even those who were not so loyal to the king were deceived. What are your good ideas for fighting for these people?" Mr. Martin asked.

  This is the relationship between the "empire" and the foreign ministers. Napoleon must be worried about this matter now. They communicated in advance. When the king asks, he can cooperate with each other and win the king's support.

  She never dreamed that she would have a "fighting" day. Josephine was surrounded by a group of people. They represented overseas colonies. Napoleon was going to send troops, and his "balance" might tilt there at any time.

  Damn emperor, **** polygamy.

  She originally had a husband who spent all of her time with her. Is she mentally ill, so she was willing to be a "second lady".

  After the Polish woman joined, is there a third lady, and even a fourth and fifth lady?

   "If they want to leave, let them go. The people who stay here are here without their hearts, and they may help the enemy deal with their own people." Georgiana spoke coldly.

  "Then do you want to leave or stay?" Martin asked.

  This topic has become less interesting.

  "Land reform cannot be completed overnight. Be cautious. Is there nothing else?"

  "Regarding the issue of prevailing tariffs, the head of state intends to allow cotton from Naples and the eastern Mediterranean coast to transit duty-free on that commercial road, and to impose taxes on raw silk exported to Austria and Switzerland."

   "Since he has decided so, just do as he said."

"Miss, what I want to tell you is the trade protection issue of the head of state. He is so partial to the French and is very unfair to other people who submit to France." Martin said, "Trade is a non-military war, and it can be done by non-armed means. To occupy the hearts of the people of other countries, as you said before, the hearts are gone, some people may still help the enemy deal with their own people."

   "He is an old and stubborn."

   "That's why you are required to say that you also have magical powers."

  Georgiana shook her head. She would rather face an army of big-headed monsters again than attack the "fortress" in Napoleon's heart.

"This is the crux of the head of state's European policy. He is not considering the issue in the European market, but in the interests of France. If his continental system really wants to be built, this barrier must be broken. You have to think about it. ." Gaston said.

   "You are not like a businessman at all."

   "Then what do you think businessmen should look like?"

  Georgiana shook her head.

   "I heard that Yuan chief gave the soldiers candy, how about I add something?" Gaston said, "I just brought a batch of soap from Marseille to let those beggars take a comfortable bath."

   "There is no place to bathe them." Georgiana smiled slyly.

   "We can collect donations and build a Roman-style public bath."

  "How can it be repaired in such a short time?"

  "You leave this to us to consider, you just need to make him happy." Gaston said with a smile.

  "I think people in the church will be very upset, and there is no place in Paris. It is difficult to find a clean water source. I heard him say that he plans to build a new city to accommodate those beggars. How about this new city starting with a public bath?"

   "I finally understand why the Führer likes you so much." Martin said cheerfully, "If I had a daughter like you, I would also be blessed."

  Georgiana shook her head, what's the use? She is not yet a victim of polygamy.

And she didn’t want Napoleon and Josephine to divorce, just like she didn’t want Severus to forget Lily. Their greatest advantage was their devotion, and they would throw away the original wheat ears if they had no better. It was that she herself was the ear of wheat they wanted to pick, and this fate was like being cursed.

  Martin may think that he has failed to speak, and then began to talk about some customs and customs that have nothing to do with work. His kind of savvy man who can talk and talk about Italy is indeed very interesting.

  Later he mentioned the Italian military academy, where the guards of honor were trained. They must be selected from the local aristocracy and bourgeoisie, and to a certain extent they can be taken as hostages.

  Since they are hostages, why not bring them to Paris?

  Georgina is not stupid enough to ask this question.

  Napoleon’s distance to the emperor was known from Gaston’s attitude, and he almost called out the word "Your Majesty".

  Leon should go to republic or monarchy. Only he can decide. Georgiana can't speak, nor does he intend to influence him in this regard.

   Few men are smart enough to make her feel ashamed, even if he is a Muggle.

  Merlin is also just the "sage" of King Arthur, but Grindelwald and Voldemort want to rule the world by themselves. They simply don't have the kind of tolerance of Lyon.

  A little cheesy statement is the demeanor of the king, no matter how little actors act, they can’t perform them.

  If power is the best perfume for men, Napoleon is not just a spray, he is simply a fountain.

"What are you thinking?"

  She was scared to death by this sound.

  Sophie, the maid, and Gaston Martin all retreated, leaving them two by the pond, and of course the swans in the pond.

  Lord Rambouillet, who did not wear a cocked hat and dressed in casual clothes, stood by the lake like a young poet.

  But he didn't read love poems to her, and the two stood stupidly, not knowing what to say.

   "In addition to chocolate, I want to add a piece of soap and a towel made of fine Gebu so that they can take a bath and spend the National Day comfortably." She thought for a while and said.

  "Do you know why your pamphlet was not printed?" Napoleon said, "Lucien's pamphlets are all printed. The rural areas only have the right to use public pastures and passages, as well as the right to pick up the ears. The forest is closed and not open."

   "I know that prey in the forest is the lord's prerogative to hunt." She curled her mouth and said.

"Your kindness has shaken the interests of many people. They still can't find a reason to refute you. I told them that they will set the price for these foods that are bestowed by God. I will let people collect the price list and look at them. The price of conscience. Louis XII launched a lot of wars, but did not pay taxes to his subjects because of his long-term frugality, but now I want to be generous to you. Can you tell me what you want?"

   "How about building a pavilion in this place?" She said smoothly, "I can read in it when it rains."

   "No problem." He immediately agreed, "What style do you want?"

   "Call some architects, your technical school has not been completed yet."

   "How about giving me a daughter? I think she is as caring as you."

  She is extremely twitchy.

   "I thought of you all morning, have you thought of me?" He said affectionately.

   "We do this very disrespectful to Josephine. Let's set up a tent here."

   "No problem, you will stay with me in the tent when you are marching in the future. It's okay to get used to it earlier."

   "I don't want to see war crimes." She said fearfully.

   "That's why I want to take you." Napoleon calmly said, "Let me see who dares to show off his trophy in front of you."

   "I am afraid, and I may not have that ability."

   "With me with you, what are you afraid of?" He walked over and grabbed her hand. "You have to be stronger, stronger than you are now."

she cried.

   "I want you to be happy." He said softly, "I'm sorry to that person, but France needs you. He shouldn't have yours alone."

   "You want to treat me as a public place?"

"No." He shook his head. "You are the mother of my children. I have a big family to take care of. I feed those children, you keep them clean and develop good habits, just like Rousseau said about the division of labor between men and women. "

   She frowned, "Why do I feel so weird?"

  He smiled contemptuously, "There is a woman who has portrayed herself as a woman of the new era, surrounded by a group of admirers."

"who is she?"

  "Mrs. Stael, every guest who came out of her salon became a crusader against me."

   "She attacked you for dictatorship?"

  "She asked me what kind of woman I like the most. I told her at that time, the woman who can give birth to children the most."

  Georgiana was expressionless.

   "That was when the "On Population" was released in 1798. I hadn't met you yet."

   "I still feel unhappy." She said coldly.

   "That's why I hate her." Napoleon Bonaparte gritted his teeth and said, "Since she has gone, she will never want to return to France."
