Chapter 1983 "Eagle" and "Dove" (1)

  What Robert Peel Jr. said just now is from the third volume of The History of Tacitus. AD 68-69 was a rare period in Roman history when civil wars and turmoil alternately tortured the empire. In one year, the Roman Empire replaced four emperors, the so-called "year of the four emperors."

  The first direct consequence of Nero’s death was that the lineage of the Julio Claudius dynasty was broken, leaving room for those who pretended to be the throne, and it was manifested through the civil war. And "in the era of civil war and melee, no one has the hope of being in charge of the king alone."

Regarding this period of history, Tacitus commented: "The period of history I am about to write is a history full of disasters. There are terrible wars and fierce infighting. These infighting is terrifying even if there is no big fight. Four emperors were killed; there were three internal conflicts, and more foreign wars, often at the same time as domestic and foreign wars."

  Bernio, a senior official of Rouen, once served as Lucien’s consultant. People of his generation thought that he looked sleek and easy-going, but he was actually timid and the most cowardly. Georgiana didn't know where his courage came from. She actually dared to argue with Napoleon, but because of the trade agreement, it was already obvious that infighting was formed.

  English people are good at creating infighting, and they are also good at offshore mediation. Anyway, they use an invisible baton to direct everyone to follow them. When Napoleon was a soldier, he was famous for not observing orders, and he had to wait for the European gendarmerie Czar Alexander I to appear in the future...and he didn't see how he corrected it.

   Mercantilism is a type of trade protectionism. It can be said to be the earliest trade protectionism, restricting imports and encouraging exports.

  And free trade means that the country removes restrictions and obstacles on import and export trade, cancels various and privileges of its own import and export commodities, and does not interfere or restrict import and export commodities.

  Free trade is the symmetry of trade protection, but this does not mean that the management of import and export trade and the tariff system should be completely abandoned, but the relevant trade treaties and agreements must be followed.

  Originally, trade was a matter of peace and friendship. The 1786 agreement was a key step in the transition from mercantilism to free trade. This time the signing of the agreement, the United Kingdom also proposed to lift the government's ban and return to the 1786 agreement. When the British were cheering for this peace treaty, the silk industry areas Lyon, Tours, and the cotton industry area Normandy first strongly opposed it.

  Not only is the treaty stipulating that the import of French silk is banned, but at the same time, the Normans are also complaining that Britain is competing with them at 15% cheaper prices.

  Metal products are subject to a 10% tariff, wool, cotton, porcelain, glass, and linen yarn and muslin do not exceed 12%. The British receive a 12% tariff on French cotton products, and the French also receive a 12% tariff on British products.

  Britain uses high-count yarn, and France also uses high-count yarn. So where does the 15% price difference come from?

Whether time is money or money, efficiency is competitive. Those old-style and low-efficiency handicraft workshops were first eliminated. Britain has also experienced this period of pain. Luddites hate machines for taking away their job opportunities. .

  The treaty was signed in 1786, revised and implemented in 1787, and then British goods continued to be dumped in France, which led to the rapid expansion of French consumption of British industrial products. With the outbreak of the French Revolution, the 1793 treaty was abolished by the National Trade Union.

The women in the shelter run by Georgiana basically have dead husbands or no male relatives to rely on. Their income is very low, and low income also means frugality, not to mention cheap Britain. They buy second-hand clothes in the pawnshop as well. Why do they buy French goods that are not cheap and the quality is not necessarily good?

When the consumption of French goods is reduced, orders will be reduced. When orders are reduced, factories will not need so many manpower, a large number of unemployed people without income, coupled with the skyrocketing food prices caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters, plus "the queen's extravagance, will The treasury is exhausted," and the nobleman had nothing to do all day long, so he couldn't bear it and chose to erupt in silence.

  If there is no winemaking and animal husbandry, and the production capacity is upgraded after the introduction of Italian twisting machines, it is still a question of where those workers who are engaged in low-end handicrafts will go.

  Paris has a great market demand for milk. Find a way to sterilize the milk, then transport it in iron buckets at low temperature, and send it to the cafes in Paris before the milk spoils. This is another industry.

  As for the introduction of cider, don’t wine growers complain that they are being treated differently? At least cider can still enter the market. At present, rum made from grain and cane sugar is not eligible to enter the market. Taxes are levied equally if they are all fruit wines.

  There are also high-end and low-end wines. The demand for sucrose is so high that the wine merchants add sugar to the wine to allow it to ferment quickly, so that even grapes with poor vintages can be made.

Wine is not a grain wine, and it is not as long as it is kept. A good vintage climate and sunlight will not only affect the flavor substances in the grapes, but also affect the acidity and sugar content. If the grapes remain overcast and rainy, not only the grapes are difficult to ripen, but also the acidity and sugar content. If it is not required, it is better to drink sour taste than to be jealous. As for the kind of sugar, it is basically to consumers who drink pure alcohol. They drink the taste of alcohol, and they don't care about what flavor substances are.

  Brittany's cider has not yet formed the same industry as the wine region. If a game is won, the funds and equipment are all available.

  Georgiana thought it would be announced after they returned to Paris, and she did not expect Bonaparte to say it on this occasion.

  The Italians are so secretive of their twisting machines, would they sell it to Brittany?

  Of course, there are differences between twisted yarn and twisted cotton yarn, but they can be used in practice with a little adjustment. At the beginning, many things were monopolized, such as silk, tea, and coffee beans. The Ottoman Empire also monopolized it. All coffee beans leaving Mocha Port must be roasted or cooked to make the seeds lose their vitality. Later, someone The coffee seeds are smuggled out against the belly, and then there are coffee producing areas that are now all over the world.

  Georgina borrowed Napoleon’s laws to deduced the layout, but he did not seem to listen to it. She was talking about finding a balance between Belgium, Lombardy and the United Kingdom, and finding a new stable balance in unequal multilateral relations. Why did he break his hand with Britain again?

  The tax exemption for steel products sounds nonsense, but in the treaty of commerce, you must buy a certain amount of French industrial products if you find a French bank to borrow money. For example, the British made steel buckles are installed on French boots and then sold at a higher price. If the UK wants to restrict exports, it can also set up export tariffs by itself, but then those factory owners will be unhappy.

Expanding steel production capacity requires not only machines, but also strong labor. These people are suitable for soldiers. At the same time, these middle-aged male laborers are not as easy to bully as apprentices, such as smashing machines, strikes, commotion, etc., then There is a need for conscription and suppression. The problem is that strong men have gone to work in the steel industry. Who will be the soldier?

The protagonist in the story just now is called John Lombard. Although he died a few years after returning to the UK, his son Thomas Lombard took over his property and made a fortune of 120,000 pounds in 15 years. He transformed the twisting machine into a twisted cotton thread.

He successively served as a city senator, sheriff, and was knighted. Later, he wanted to extend the time limit for patents. The British patent law only has a 14-year protection period. The Parliament rejected his request at the request of other manufacturers, but Others gave him 14,000 pounds in the name of compensation and rewards. And the reason why his father John knew that there was such a machine as a yarn twister was because he learned about it from a book about the machine in Padua in 1621.

  Does Napoleon have the ability to persuade Italy to abandon the silk fabric industry, to engage in mechanical manufacturing, and to export silk twisting machines?

  If it can be done, then the establishment of high tariffs on Italy's silk fabrics and the protection of Lyon's silk industry will have no effect, and the export machinery has nothing to do with silk fabrics. Italian mechanical designers have to consider how to encrypt so that others cannot imitate their own machines, or how to improve the competitiveness of their own equipment.

There are many types of tarot cards. The more common ones are Waite Tarot and Marseille Tarot. Take the Three Swords card as an example. The Three Swords of Waite Tarot are three swords inserted into a heart. What we got was a state of sadness and separation. Marseille Tarot was a sword standing high in the middle, and the other two swords looked like branches surrounding it, seeming to close themselves, but actually relying on their own. Internal power to heal yourself.

  Marseille Tarot originated in Marseille and is very popular in France and Italy, while the Vette Tarot is more popular in the UK. In Marseille Tarot, the goddess of the "world" card is facing away, while the goddess of Vette Tarot is facing.

  Although the wreath surrounding the goddess is the same, it is the difference between a beautiful woman who stands naked in front of you, and a woman who does not know what the front looks like and looks beautiful from the back. Just looking at her back, I hope she will turn her head. Maybe she is very beautiful, or she may be very ugly.

The world of   Wetter represents the known and stable, while the world of Marseille is unknown and chaotic. Maybe Napoleon was like a man looking at his back when sailing from Marseille to Egypt. The Egyptian beauty he imagined was beautiful, but she turned around and was disappointed.

  Le Havre is the second largest port in France after Marseille, and Saint-Romain is very close to Le Havre. In the 16th century, Giovannida Verrazanno took the fleet from Le Havre and arrived in New York for the first time. He paid tribute to Francis I and named this new land "Nouvelle-Angoulême". Angoulême is the patrilineal fief of Francois I.

  Also in the 16th century Le Havre started the urbanization construction. The architect invited by Francois I from Italy came to this small Normandy city with the latest Renaissance style.

   Had it not been for the bombardment of World War II, the people of the 21st century should have seen Le Havre as if it were built in the 16th-18th century.

  Georgiana didn’t know the consequences of Bonaparte’s adventures. It might end up as dismal as the Egyptian expedition, but increasing Brittany’s connection with the interior is better than those factory owners facing the other side of the strait.

  Marengo was originally a small town hard to find on the map, but later became famous because of a big battle.

  The original name of Saint-Romain was Saint-Romanus. During the Revolution, it was renamed Saint-Romain. In order to distinguish it from the Saint-Romain production area of ​​Burgundy, the surname of the former lord, Decolbosc (decolbosc) was added.

This name is perfunctory, just like Robert Peel Sr. and Robert Peel Jr., William Pitt Sr. and William Pitt Jr., but with the content written by Tacitus, he really defended those who questioned him. Tacitus?

Vitrius was originally appointed governor of the Lower Germanic province by Garba of the Four Emperors and Eleven, and was later adopted as the emperor by soldiers. After Vitrius settled the German affairs, he marched towards Rome.

  He went to Rome as a victor. Along the way, he traversed every city he passed in triumphant pomp and sailed on the river in a very luxurious ship decorated with various garlands.

  Vitrius is particularly greedy for food. He takes the emetic and vomits out after taking the food, so he can continue to enjoy every luxurious feast.

  The profession of sommelier usually does not really drink wine. The Prince of Wales used to be thinner, and he would gain weight if he drank too much.

  So the tasters spit out the wine after they tasted it.

If you don’t tell the winemakers about this rule first, they will think that the wine taster thinks that the wine they make is too difficult to drink, but it will arouse the other person’s dissatisfaction. Tani must communicate and pave the way for the other party to be psychologically prepared.

  Vespasianus was the tenth emperor of the Roman Empire and the second emperor of the Flavian dynasty, and roughly ended the Jewish war that broke out at the end of the reign of Emperor Nero.

During his short two years in power, Rome suffered several serious disasters one after another: In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted and Pompeii and nearby cities were destroyed; in 80 AD, Rome suffered a severe fire and plague, and Titus was everywhere. Run around to resettle the displaced victims.

In the previous civil war, the general Oulus Cecina, who had come from the enemy camp, was invited by Vespasianus as a banquet, but he was stabbed to death; although Vespasian Nuss propaganda cracked the evidence of Cecina's rebellion, but because of this fierce technique, he also attracted unprecedented hatred and fear from the people. Suvitonius claimed: "There has never been an emperor who was so dissatisfied and contrary to public opinion when he came to the throne."

  But later, people discovered his virtues and gave him higher praise.

  In Tacitus’s book, Rome was devastated by fire because of the Civil War, and even the oldest temple of Capri Um was burned down by the citizens. No one defended it, and no one looted it.

On the top of Mount Capitolinus, there are two peaks that are about the same height. In ancient times, writers called the northern peak Alqués, and the southwestern peak was called Capiulim. It was built on the southwest side. On the top of the mountain is the Temple of Kapilium, which is used for divination ceremonies.

  Tacitus said that even the Porsenas who surrendered to Rome and the Gauls who had occupied Rome did not dare to destroy the temple, but it was destroyed by the crazy emperors.

   Here, Plinius and Tacitus are different. In his "Natural History", the Porse did not enter the city of Rome in 507 BC, but removed the encircling army after taking hostages.

  Napoleon said that Tacitus cannot evaluate history based on facts, but believes in Homer’s epics, especially the Iliad. Who doesn’t believe in historical facts?

  Although Georgiana said not to waste food, few people really listened to it, and she didn’t concentrate at all when she ate.

  It is said that there is a "golden eagle" at the top of the Capitoline Temple, because it was made of old wood, it also caught the fire, and was burned together in the fire.

  The Legion of Ancient Rome did not use eagle flags in the classical era. There were also the goddess of victory holding a wreath. Which "hero" did not like wreaths and triumphs?

  Because Caesar used the golden eagle, the Roman Legion was considered the eagle flag as its logo.

  It was Caesar who ended the civil war, but did he rebuild the Temple of Capiulim like Vespasianus rebuilt the arena?

  According to the truth, the tavern should be cleared, but the boss should not drive away the tenants who have lived for almost a month in order to entertain the first ruling and the entourage. Robert Peel Jr. only needs to be silent next door.

  Really complies with the old Germanic proverb, mountain and mountain do not meet, people always meet.

  Eat a meal and you can meet it.

  Does this count as her Jin Jinyuan meeting?

Georgiana, who had been concentrating on eating, couldn’t help but was distracted to listen to their “chat”. This chat was full of gunpowder. She was worried that the British navy would bomb Le Havre like Copenhagen, which would be destroyed before World War II. This beautiful city in Renaissance style.

  What a pity it is like that.
