Chapter 1584 Life and death sniper (15)

  Napolioni burned Georgiana’s newly acquired fur.

He not only burned it, but also threw it out of the balcony of the Tuileries Palace. People walking in the park after dark couldn't help but look at the fur burning in the dark. It should have been drenched in lamp oil. Therefore, when it burned, it gave out a pungent smell, and it also left black marks on the stone.

People didn’t know what happened at the time, but only later heard that Mrs. Sèvres got a very valuable blue fox fur, but the first ruling has a very keen sense of smell, and the smell of animals on the fur made him dizzy. When dealing with clothes that they don't like, other men will suggest that women change that clothes, and Napoleon will choose to destroy it directly.

   So the scene the night before was staged.

  Wearing fur in the European society at the time also symbolized elegance and demonstrated social status. No one would associate it with cruelty.

  Napoleon himself also had fur clothes, but they usually only have raw edges. He didn't have the full fur like Georgiana.

  Monroe should have known such a big scene, as for what he would think about Georgian. The main competitor of Pacific Fur Company is Northwest Fur Company, and the operator of Northwest Fur Company is a British businessman, and the Americans also want to drive away British fur merchants.

This is not just because of the fur trade. The British will exchange spirits and guns with Indians. Americans think that alcoholism is a very bad life habit, which is often associated with depravity, ease of work, and "stupid choices". together. The main way for fur merchants to obtain skins was Indians. Americans felt that if Indians drank too much, it would affect them to obtain valuable furs, so the "Indians Trading Office" was set up to give humanitarian care.

  As for what the British want to do when giving guns to Indians, everyone knows well. In 1787, the United States promulgated the Northwest Act, turning the old Northwest Territory into the Northwest Territory, and a large number of Americans began to move in, which angered the Indians. At first the Indians could easily defeat the U.S. Army. In 1794, an nicknamed "crazy" Admiral Anthony Wayne was appointed by George Washington to solve the well-trained and well-equipped Indians in the "War of Logging". At the same time, because of the war between the British mainland and the French Republic during the French Revolution, the British had to abandon the land in the old northwest, allowing the Americans to take the opportunity to control those trading points, but the British could still buy fur through the Americans.

  If Americans want to sell their fur, they need to pass through London anyway, because that is the world's most important fur materials and clothing distribution center.

Before the "Jay Treaty" was signed, even if the United States had collected enough furs, they would have to worry about sales. Fur was not a necessity in the American colonies, and post-war London did not welcome Americans at all, even after the "Jay Treaty" was signed. The United Kingdom returned all the trading points in the old northwestern region to the United States, and the United Kingdom's restrictions on imports from the United States have also been relaxed, and the number of fur transactions is still very small.

At first, the British used the Indians in the old Northwest Territories as a barrier to prevent the United States from invading this area. Now it has intensified the contradiction between the United States and India, and Canadians have also lost a lot of deals because of the Jay Treaty. Point, they are furious about this, they are eager to regain control of those fur producing areas.

  This is a consistent routine in Great Britain. Napoleon’s setting the fur on fire may mean two things. One is that he doesn't like the clothes, and the other is that he doesn't like Americans.

George Washington has always felt that the fur trade was one of the reasons for the turmoil on the western border of the United States. He and many Americans believed that this was a group of rogues cheating the Indians. He and Jefferson and other founding leaders hoped that the Indians could stabilize and tighten. It is closely attached to the United States, so it has come forward to supervise the fur trade and strictly restrict the import of spirits. As for whether the United Kingdom and the United States will have disputes due to this, French Bonaparte does not care at all.

Even if the United Kingdom and the United States fight, the Portuguese colony Brazil will also produce leather. Mining is a heavy manual labor, and the miners need to eat meat, otherwise they can’t work. The meat eats the leather and stays behind. These leather grasslands were originally shipped to Lisbon. , And then shipped to Northern Europe through Lisbon, and then shipped to other countries, such as Russia, through Nordic middlemen.

Everyone knows that reducing middlemen can reduce the price difference. Arming neutral countries makes this money. Otherwise, why the British Royal Navy had to withdraw from the anti-French alliance in Russia and formed a trade alliance to protect the neutral countries with Sweden and Denmark and then bombarded Copenhagen. ?

Americans can’t plot the French ports of Louisiana and New Orleans while also wanting to establish a fur trade with France. Sober-minded people have this kind of idea. Fortunately, Georgiana is not the kind of woman who is hot-headed when she sees beautiful clothes. Anyway, Napoleon’s hand was on fire, and Georgiana no longer had to worry about treason.

The French are romantic and passionate. The whole world knows that there are countless people fighting for women, and even duels. However, such people are often "young people". Napoleon was very romantic when he was in his 20s. When Serfin was in love, he would recite a lot of poems by the Scottish poet O'Xian.

  This Scottish lyric poet who is said to be very active in the third century was actually made by James McPherson. There is no such person in history. Those poems written by O'Xian were also written by McPherson. Georgiana told the girls a story about Charlemagne, which was also compiled by a Scotsman named Walter Scott, whose talent was completely concealed under Byron. What he wrote was based on the Scottish area. Most of the ballads and adventure stories of kings and knights.

Napoleon also saw his work and did not comment, but he admired Scott's perseverance very much. Scott started suffering from polio at the age of two and was disabled for life, but he learned horse riding and hunting, and he also studied at the University of Edinburgh. He has a law degree and is currently the president of the Edinburgh Civil Court.

The mountains of Scotland are very slender, but unconquerable. The British have not tamed the Scots for so many years. Napoleoni met the Scottish woman Giorgioanna, and he has become a little used to it, in his words , He was not so tired after crossing the Alps twice.

  The English are also enforcing the prohibition order in Scotland. The Scots have always disagreed that the Hanover royal family entered Scotland and inherited the rule of the Stuart dynasty in Scotland. Whiskey became the Scots' financial magic weapon against England. By levying taxes on whiskey, the rebels received military expenditures. After the war, England increased the taxation of Scotch whiskey. The Scots tried every means to evade taxes. Later, the British ordered the closure of Scotch whisky brewing, so the Scottish whisky workshop All turned underground. The Scottish police also turned a blind eye to the bootleggers. The bootleggers were also released to make wine during the day, and they were “carried” back to prison at night. The Scots had to take whiskey to escape the attack. Hidden in a cave, the result of inadvertently changed the whisky brewing process, with aging whiskey.

Americans are also taxed for drinking whiskey, and they are still charged for a drink. Although cowboys in the western United States are not often duel with revolvers in small towns like in movies, occasionally a corrupt sheriff appears or something. But anyone who drinks alcohol hates the whisky tax.

  They will use asphalt or asphalt, stick feathers on their bodies, disguise themselves as "birdmen", and dance Indian dances around the tax collector. Tax collectors who don’t bring guns will definitely be robbed, even if Americans don’t rob Indians, Napoleon sold gunpowder equipment to the DuPont family. The gunpowder and iron products in the United States were originally controlled by the British. .

  There is a three-fifths agreement in the current U.S. Constitution, which means that each slave can only discount three-fifths of free people, and American Indians do not participate in the taxation and benefit distribution of the U.S. government.

  Sell whiskey to Indians and let Indians sell to "cowboys" so that everyone can drink happily without paying taxes, provided that the US government is willing to give up such a large tax.

The   Three-Fifths Agreement increased the number of Southerners in the House of Representatives from 35% to 45%. With greater legislative power, cotton was an important raw material during the Industrial Revolution. British spinning machines need American cotton imports, and British engineers are not so easy to borrow. At least as far as Napoleon knows, Switzerland has introduced British machines and British engineers have designed factories for them, Georganna said. It has been a long time since I hope that the British will send an engineer to France, but there is no news, so how much weight can she say?

When he was tender, Bonaparte also told Georgiana a story. In the Middle Ages, there was a pair of sisters. The older sister was more beautiful than the younger sister, and according to the order of marriage, the older sister got married before the younger sister, and their father chose her. A husband was selected, and the other party was a young and wealthy knight. The bride-to-be was confident of her slender and well-proportioned figure, so she decided to wear a dress without frayed edges.

Although the dress was very docile to highlight her figure, the wind was so strong that her Danbo's clothes could not keep out the cold, so her face lost blood, and she was blue from the cold because of the cold, and her sister was wise to wear it. Warmth, clothes trimmed with raw edges, so her cheeks are as rosy as delicate roses. The young knight only glanced at the two sisters and asked their father to marry the better-looking sister as his wife. The knight who thought he had chosen the right person returned to the castle and found that the older sister in warm fur robes was more beautiful. That, but it was too late by then.

  People in ancient times value oaths. Once they are taken, they cannot easily repent. In 1796, the British withdrew from the Old Northwest as scheduled. Will the British follow the agreement to withdraw from Malta this time?

  What else could she do but giggle at that time?

  Afterwards, he didn't ask further, got up, burned the fur, and threw it out the window.

  The next thing she needs to do is to prepare a few more "silk dresses with fringed edges" and keep her cheeks as rosy as roses. The cold weather in England makes her face white as a ghost. Josephine is very good at dressing up, very feminine, and very elegant. The key is that her face has always been rosy, even Georgina and Grassini have the same rosy face.

  While Matilda was packing her luggage, Georgiana wanted to throw away all the blushes.

  But she finally acquiesced to them appearing in her luggage.

  As for the benefits that Georgeanna wants to apply for the girls, Bonaparte has also helped her think about it. She can set up a fur market. Not only can she get high-end furs, she can also take part of the "management fee". She can appoint the manager herself. As for whether the admission is American, British or Canadian, she does not need to ask, she just needs to keep the market "clean and tidy".

  In addition to the habit of asking questions when she doesn’t understand, she also knows how to stay away from danger.

  Some Muggles are not easy to provoke, but it's a pity that Georgiana didn't see how terrifying the Corsican monster was at first, otherwise she would not be so stupid to approach him.

  Why did "female intuition" no longer work at that time? She can only blame it for Hathor's curse, otherwise what can be explained?

  　 A good hunter must not only have accurate marksmanship, but also set up traps. After eating the bait in the trap, all the animal skins are peeled off, so the daughter must be rich.
