Chapter 1619 Frog&fog (7)

   "Have you heard that Hamilton once proposed a presidential life system?" Mr. Martin said.

   "I heard about it now." Georgiana looked at the scenery in the garden and smiled and said, "How many people want Leon to be in power for life?"

  "I heard that the Führer and Mr. Washington are friends." Mr. Martin continued, "At present, American trade cannot leave the United Kingdom. They cannot turn their faces with the British, but I heard that Mr. Monroe mentioned whiskey to you."

   "If you want to talk about the Whiskey Riot, I know."

"Public debt is a catastrophe. The French debt brought the Revolution, and the financial dilemma was a terrible scene. Jefferson originally thought that the Revolution would end in a bloodless manner." Mr. Martin sighed. "The community donated 3000 to war survivors. Ten million francs were misappropriated, and I hope you won’t be as infamy as Marie Antoinette."

  Georgina sneered, “The money allocated to the workhouse is often not really used on the poor. How long can the charity in Paris last?”

   "Marmont seems to be going to join forces with Siers. They have previously proposed to replace the old nobles' properties with industrial products for them."

"how long ago?"

"Before the Wuyue coup, the old nobles supported the Führer because they believed that the Führer would protect their personal and property safety. If he made them lose their confidence, then they would still have a fluke for the Bourbon royal family. In addition, there is also the agricultural vault. problem."

   "Corruption started so early?" Georgiana asked.

"Not yet. The famine has not completely passed. Many people still remember what it was like during the Revolution." Mr. Martin lowered his head and said, "But we do need a monitoring agency. The sage's mistakes are less forgivable than the sinners' mistakes. People will think The saint betrayed their trust."

"Of course you can't make a mistake if you don't do anything, but such a person is useless." Georgiana said calmly. "It is impossible to predict everything by what you call a'saint', so we need to protect ourselves. And the ability to correct errors."

  "People are harsher to women than to men. Do you know where Joan of Arc was burned to death? It's Rouen..."

   "It seems that I was a bad woman in the beginning but it is a good thing." Georgiana smiled easily and said, "Don't worry, I won't be a'saint'."

"If you really think so, leave the visit to the workhouse to Mrs. Seju. You should pay more attention to the Ship Survey Association. Although it is currently non-profit, it will earn money every day, even if the ship is not qualified. , The shipowner can buy insurance if they buy a certificate."

   "Are you talking about cheating?" Georgiana asked.

"Who can tell about things at sea." Mr. Martin smiled. "The northern cities have unanimously boycotted the entry of British and Dutch steel into France, but welcomed the British and Dutch bankers to invest, Henry Petty, a young man and the British steel company. It’s not entirely dependent on you. After what happened in Switzerland, you should know that if civilized methods can’t allow them to achieve their goals, they will use force and insidious means.”

   "I know." Georgiana said listlessly, "They can spend money to shut up the newspaper, and they can also spend money to make the newspaper stink me."

   "What are you going to do?"

   "Think." Georgiana looked at the road ahead and said, "Fox thinks that the United States can't take it back. What do you think?"

   "Hamilton once said, why he, an immigrant from a foreign land, would work hard for the fate of the country, while those born in the United States are indifferent to it. You and the head of state are not French. Why do you care so much about the fate of France?"

  Georgiana was stunned.

"You have met Victor Dupont, and their family was forced to leave France. After the revolution broke out in 1793, the old order collapsed and the new order did not know when it would be established. Pierre Dupont was imprisoned for sympathizing with the Republicans. Later, he was locked in the wrong place. He was almost killed by the mob who broke into the prison. Later, he was transferred to La Fos Prison. The harsh environment inside could not guarantee his safety. His first wife was during this period. He died. Fortunately, the Jacobins collapsed at this time. He was released from prison and formed a new family. In 1797, he became the Speaker of the Senate, but in September of this year, there was another coup and Pierre was again taken. As a member of the royalist party, he and his son Irene were arrested at the same time. Although they were imprisoned for only one day this time, DuPont decided to leave France and go to the New World. Many people had the same ideas as him. There are new beginnings and new hopes. You don’t have to listen to the orders of the old and crazy king, and you don’t have to worry about being affected by the coup. It’s like building a new house. Unless people find that the New World has no hope and no opportunities, just With a steady stream of immigrants joining, the United States will continue to make progress."

  "Do you think the United Kingdom cannot take back the United States like Fox?"

"You heard what I told you just now. Public debt will be a disaster. The US Constitution does not represent the collective will of the people of a country. It is an agreement of each state. Each of these states has its own constitution. In terms of'equality', Massachusetts advocates'equality for all', slavery is basically abolished in Massachusetts, and the Constitution of Kentucky states that'all people, when they form a social contract, are in power. Are equal', which has led to many newspapers that oppose slavery in Kentucky, but slavery still exists in Kentucky. Free people are equal and have certain inalienable rights, especially property rights. There is no risk at all, and the release of slaves as free men violates the property rights of slave owners. This has led to the emergence of two extreme evil forces in the United States, one is a financier and the other is a slave owner. Almost every one The U.S. Constitution is full of flashy empty talk. While condemning slavery as a crime that must be cured immediately at all costs, while waving the whip in the cotton field, I think the U.S. will ultimately not be the same as Washington and Hamilton hoped. To become a prosperous and stable country, if people are illiterate, they will only be fooled by scammers, and those who are literate will be fooled by those printed materials and continue to fight for their ideal country until they are as exhausted as Hamilton."

   "It sounds like Hamilton is having a terrible life."

"Hamilton reminds me of Robespierre. He is a man full of dreams, but he feels that the rich are less morally degraded than the poor, and Robespierre values ​​the power of the people more. ."

   "You mean..."

  "Don’t always have unrealistic dreams, Georgiana, you can’t disapprove of him wearing the crown and oppose slavery. Do you want to be the opposition?" Mr. Martin said.

  Georgina smiled bitterly.

   Isn’t the “future” slavery abolished? But now to oppose slavery is like a fool holding a white rose in the Tarot card. Although the idea is moving and great, the person who embarks on the journey only needs to bow his head and find that he is on the edge of a cliff.

"Do you know what is the most embarrassing thing in a person's life? It's not the phrase in others' mouths,'I didn't expect you to change too,' but the phrase in your heart,'You can't be naive anymore.' My teacher, he is a An old idiot in his 100s who still plays with children. He likes to eat sweets and wear weird clothes. But he still has dreams in his heart, and his dreams are realized because of his hard work. I know Li What does Ang want, and you are the same, but you have to know that I am good at cooking. Although I am a British cook in the eyes of you French, I don’t let him follow the etiquette of those nobles and ask him to stay at the table. Staying a while longer is not to make him feel fresh, but for other purposes."

  Mr. Martin stopped, looking willing to hear the details.

   "I don't want Leon to be the kind of person who knows little gifts but doesn't know the righteousness. He is not as ungrateful as most men. He has become a great man and abandoned his original wife, and..."

  "You don't want him to divorce and marry you?" Mr. Martin asked again.

   "I don't want to." Georgian said firmly, "He has a reason to divorce Josephine today, and he will find a reason to divorce me in the future, and there will always be better."

  "Not because you still think of your husband?"

  Georgiana took a deep breath.

   "I don't want to." She endured the pain in her chest and said, "I only hope Leon can stay in the Tuileries Palace until he is tired of living."

"In the days of peace and stability, anyone can say a few great truths and occupy the moral high ground, but when the storm comes, people are panicked, and no longer care about the so-called correctness, they can only follow the crowd. This is how people are." Mr. Martin said, “A man’s life is a leap. He was a child. When his child was born, he became a father. This was a leap. His father died and he became the head of the family. You have to rely on yourself. This is another jump. A woman’s life is drinking water. Although there are small whirlpools and waterfalls on the way, she will always move forward. Look forward, Georgiana, don’t always look back. "

   "Next year's Portuguese month, this is the deadline." She was helpless and said, "This is what we said."

Mr. Martin sighed, "People are extremely selfish. Many people feel that they are thinking, but they are actually sorting out their own prejudices. You can't hear those gossips in the castle, but others can hear them. You should think more of the head of state. ."

   "How can I help him?"

  Mr. Martin smiled mysteriously, "If you want to be nice to someone, what would you do?"

  She was confused.

  "Be nice and gentle to him, just like your husband." Mr. Martin said softly, "Or a child who has no father and must take on family responsibilities early."

  Georgiana didn’t know what to say.

  "I wish you could be my children, but unfortunately I am not your father." Mr. Martin said melancholy, "If Edward Jenner refuses to be your adoptive father, would you be my adoptive daughter?"

  Georgiana was stunned.

   "Or do you despise me as a businessman?"

   "There is no such thing." Georgiana said immediately.

   "So..."

   "I want to discuss with him." Georgianna said, "I dare not take the initiative in this matter."

  Mr. Martin smiled, and then went on walking with her in the garden.

  Georgiana listened casually while thinking. There are many things, even if they were originally invented with good intentions, they will become harmful when they are in the wrong hands, such as cowpox that can avoid smallpox. Who would have thought that it would become a weapon for Americans to deal with Indians. ".

  Azkaban in the North Sea used to have a lighthouse. It will attract passing sailors to sail in that direction. The trapped sailors will be used by the dark wizards who live on that island as a breeding ground for dementors.

  How can a lighthouse like this be recognized in the dark?

  Perhaps only by resisting the desire for a harbor and moving forward is it possible, but that day is very bitter and tiring, and the sea is also full of dangers such as reefs and icebergs.

  Even if it is temporary support and support, he will gather the strength he needs to move on.

  Napoleon actually thought that the desert was an ocean that could be stepped on underfoot, and the British also thought he was like a rough captain, although he was an army commander, and it was the sea that blocked him...

  Perhaps the last time God was really protecting England, as the sun rose, the fog began to dissipate. I wonder if the fog on the sea has dissipated.

  If not, it would be too bad.
