Chapter 1942 Egret Feather (5)

  George Washington released all his slaves before he died.

  Unfortunately, sometimes there is a gap between dreams and reality, and he cannot release all the slaves.

  Henry Petty and his colleagues support the abolition of slavery based on the destruction of the United States, especially the southern economy.

  The more slaves there are, the more “collaterals” will be. In another way of understanding, the more houses, especially luxury houses, can also get more loans from the bank. Many people lose the ability to think after seeing a luxury house and make a wrong estimate of its value. In fact, maintaining a luxury house also requires a lot of expenses.

In this respect, slaves are not like houses. They can give birth to children, and the children born are still slaves, and old and frail slaves will die. Slave owners don’t need to pay to "maintain" them, as long as they are not severely contagious. Allow them to die, they can also buy new slaves and get more loans.

This topic is very heavy. Giorgioanna doesn’t want to talk about it in this atmosphere. The clever servant not only brought back the flute, but also called the band practicing at the Rouen Art Museum. In the soothing music, Giorgioanna and Archbishop Sebastian and Mr. Martin are sitting in chairs drinking tea together by a stained glass window.

  The second ruler, Combastian, is notoriously sleek, and his brother is similar to him.

  The appointment of Leoncourt of Lafayette liberal nobleman as a senior official of Rhone is not all because he had served as the guardian of Georgiana. He is a person who can distinguish the situation, and he can correctly distinguish between riots and revolutions anyway.

  But Leoncourt’s performance in Rennes is a bit unsatisfactory. Fortunately, although he is a liberal nobleman, he knows how to "serve" like the nobles of the old system.

   Bonaparte is not perfect, he also has his character weaknesses. He ordered the restoration of the royal gardens that were damaged during the Revolution, many of which were in Paris. In addition, there are churches. Anyway, Bonaparte asks him to do what he does. Unlike the Republicans or the third governor Le Brun, he likes to express "questioning".

  Compared to the interior, the church in Rouen did not suffer too much damage, but the archbishop received a grant.

  The archbishop is not interested in this, he talks more about other issues of Rouen.

  Britain is currently the world’s largest industrial country. Its coal output is 8 times that of Germany and 10 times that of France. The output of steel is almost the total output of other countries in the world, and 10 times that of Germany.

  Germany and the current Swiss region mainly export cheap labor. The textile industry in France is still labor-intensive, which means that there are many Protestants in Rouen. In addition, since the signing of the Amiens Treaty, many bankers have directly or indirectly engaged in shipping-related industries, such as shipyards, but overseas trade has not been as vigorous as they thought. This has also led to a fall in the price of securities. In March, securities with 5% interest were worth 65% of the par value, which dropped to 47% in May. This also indirectly affected the livelihoods of some families.

  The number of people who come to church to pray has increased. Many of them are Protestants and Catholic families. Of course, this does not mean that Catholic families will not have family conflicts due to reduced income.

  The transportation order of 2 million quintals of grain has stimulated the sluggish shipping industry a little, and at the same time, it has brought the price of securities back to the level of issuance, but it is hard to say whether there will be such a thing next year.

  There are quite a few French people who don’t like to engage in business. They prefer to engage in finance. In fact, the steam engine was first invented by the French in 1769. Its inventor was an army technical officer. In 1776, Watt only showed the world the working state of the steam engine.

  In fact, Napoleon raised tariffs to protect local industries and at the same time gave various assistance to the country’s industry and commerce, such as grants, subsidies, incentives for the use of machinery, etc., and also set up a national industry award.

   To grab foreign markets with the British is tantamount to extracting teeth. Opening closed rural areas and allowing self-sufficient farmers to start consuming industrial products is also a way to promote the economy. However, Catholic priests can't be like American pastors, driving horse-drawn carriages and selling things while preaching.

  A new problem has arisen again. Businessmen will not drive large carts to blocked or bandit areas. They are not missionaries and will not go to unprofitable places. The Spaniards had encountered similar problems before. In those empty places in the countryside, the king and his advisors hoped to create an ideal community. As part of the road strategy, they built a road along the wilderness of Seville. . However, the newly built roads attracted not only tourists, but also robbers, both in Mount Morena and western Cordoba.

  This workhouse first accommodates women and children, because they are "harmless", and male refugees are still very dangerous from a certain point of view. How to deal with them is a problem.

  The British approach is to send them to colonies to open up wasteland, such as to Australia or something. In theory, those ships engaged in shipping can also send them to French colonies. But the Catholic Church hopes that sinners will repent, and Bishop Cambaseres hopes to provide support in this regard.

  Georgiana told the bishop about her plan to expand the cider factory and increase the pastoral area. He pursed his lips and did not respond immediately.

  The climate in Brittany is close to that of the United Kingdom, and the wine production is not high, and the apple trees do not pick water and soil, and the climate is also suitable...

In addition, planting apples requires a lot of money. Even if the apple is a high-yielding fruit tree with strong soil adaptability, it can be cultivated in hilly hills, river beaches and sandy areas, or even mildly saline-alkali areas, but it also requires the guidance of technicians to survive. The rate can be increased.

  The seller of saplings, regardless of whether you buy them back and grow them, is also a loss-making business. Shipbuilding can still see a ship, and when the saplings die, they can only be used for firewood.

  Grazing must first improve the discrimination of farmers against herders. No one wants to engage in an industry that is discriminated against. In short, the plan you think is correct and feasible will have a lot of problems when it is actually implemented.

  She asked Feiliel to organize and record all the topics she talked about earlier, and find time to think about it later, and then continue to visit the "garden".

  Rouen also has a botanical garden, but it is on the left bank of the Seine, a bit far from the art gallery. You can walk to the old market square from the asylum, where there are many shops selling fresh goods.

  These teas, cloths, and plants are all from Southeast Asia, so the Rouen people speak for themselves.

  The Suez Canal can be repaired, provided that the British abandon the layout of West Africa, this is another form of tooth extraction.

  She pretended not to understand, and discussed the medicinal and economic value of those flowers with Farrong, and then she discovered vetiver.

  This is a tropical plant native to India and Southeast Asia. It has strong adaptability, cold and barren tolerance, well-developed root system, and grows fast. It can not only be used as a forage, but its roots can also make spices.

  It is a pity that it is a tropical plant and cannot be widely grown in Brittany.

  Just as they stopped discussing in front of a Phalaenopsis, a soldier appeared at the door.

  Georgiana recognized him, he was the fool's messenger with good riding skills.

  As soon as he appeared, everyone looked at her, so she had to bite the bullet and walked over.

  "Madam, this is a letter from the first ruling party." The fool said loudly.

  She can hear the whispers behind her without turning her head.

  She stared at the fool for a while, then opened the letter, and a scent of madder came to her face:

  You shouldn’t reply to my letter, because you have taken my mind away,

  Please give me a kiss back, printed on the handkerchief like last time, seeing it is like seeing you.

   Police Georgianna felt that looking around, everyone turned their gazes away, as if they were concentrating on work.

  She glared at the letter, wondering whether to tear it up or burn it with fire, and finally called Feilier to get a handkerchief that she had just bought.

This is a specialty of Rouen. The ordinary handkerchief is pure white with white lace crochets. This handkerchief with floral pattern looks like a grandmother used it. It has a pink background and a purple flower in each corner. Little flower.

  The quality of the handkerchiefs that can be promoted here is of course good quality, but she is used to seeing better quality handkerchiefs in the palace, and she doesn't want to use this kind of handkerchief at all.

  She looked back at the women in the room. Although the theme of the prom tonight has been set, she wants to change her style.

  "I want to buy a handkerchief. It has to be translucent like the wings of a cicada. Who of you has it?" Georgiana asked.

"I have."

"I have."

  Three female bosses said in a hurry.

   "Then let's go for a walk." She said with a smile.

  "What about your reply?" the foolish messenger asked.

  Georgiana didn't want to care about him at all, and left the monastery surrounded by her.
