In the eyes of ordinary people, Switzerland is a beautiful place. Victor Hugo once said that the rocks there are letters, the lakes are sentences, and the villages are accents.

But Georgiana remembered the hill called Grindelwald, and the various wars that had taken place in the Alps.

A lion monument is erected on the shore of Lake Lusarn, where 786 Swiss mercenaries died protecting the Bourbon royal family.

In addition, Swiss mercenaries were also in Rome, showing their lives to protect the Pope.

After World War II, the seemingly neutral Swiss Bank embezzled a lot of Jewish gold.

Georgiana's impression of Switzerland is actually not good, although it looks very beautiful.

Her only good memory of that place is of the cabin in the Alps. No matter how much snow fell outside, the tents were always warm, and it was the same in XZ before, because they couldn't make a fire, they could only rely on hugging to keep warm.

Napoleoni started lighting fires early on, and Georgiana loved cuddling the short-legged cat named Roulande. It is reasonable to say that ghosts have no temperature, and coldness is the characteristic of the underworld, but Napoleoni said that they are "alive", and she should not have any doubts about this, so she felt that the cat in her arms was emitting heat.

Her suite is now filled with dahlias, the rare variety that became widespread in Europe with the French Revolution.

Napoleoni liked Racine and Corneille, and she talked about it with Caprara when she was looking for books, and Caprara found Cicero's orator in the church books. Corneille had loved Cicero as a student, and he was widely regarded as the best orator in ancient Rome.

The book in the church's collection is the original Latin, not a translation of later generations. Georgiana decided to translate it and give it to Napoleon as a Christmas gift.

If Harry and Ron received books as Christmas presents, they probably wouldn't be very happy. Napoleon, who is also a "lion", likes to read books, and that's what she finds interesting about him.

This time she didn't use a typewriter, the words typed out by the typewriter didn't have the warmth of handwriting.

In this suite surrounded by flowers, translating Cicero's speech made her feel very peaceful and happy.

The Talmud says: Greed is the only passion that never grows old.

Mr. Martin is a little old, and he is very affectionate to young girls, but this is just like Bonaparte being gentle with women, just his side. Mr. Martin is an old businessman who is greedy and eager to be respected by others. These two qualities are inherently contradictory, at least not as popular as a person who is simple and serves the people.

Georgiana has always had little knowledge of French history, and Mrs. Starr also knew it through Napoleoni.

It stands to reason that the chief financial officer during the French Revolution should have been a more famous figure than a writer.

Jacques Necker used his reputation as a banker to borrow money everywhere, successfully raised several huge sums of money, and stabilized his position when he first took office. The huge amount made the royal family and a large number of annuity dignitaries intolerable.

A person's finances are also his privacy, and this kind of life that is completely exposed to the public eye is like walking on the street without clothes. Jacques Necker was the "savior of France" in the eyes of the people, but not in the eyes of the ruling class.

The Talmud said: If you really provide convenience to others, you will also benefit from it.

Several brothers of the Rothschild family provided convenience for both the British crown prince and the French ministers. It is no wonder that the Rothschild family became so prominent later.

They are also borrowing money, and the Jews in Alsace and Lorraine have become "undesirable" and will be deported. It feels miserable to be driven around, but since the Jews are so smart, why don't they want to Why?

As long as the Rothschild brothers get things done, she will ask Napoleon to give them a castle to live in. Anyway, there are so many old noble properties confiscated by the Great Revolution that have not been auctioned.

The Talmud also said that not being able to live in harmony with others and not being able to tolerate the shortcomings and shortcomings of others is the root of a person's failure.

Credit business is a must, and the interest rate should not be too low. The Federal Reserve's low-interest mortgages made real estate a target for speculators just like grain in the 18th century.

Those French bankers who refused to leave Paris were stimulated by farming loans and followed suit to set up branches in deserted provinces.

Money lenders are most worried about collecting money. The government and the police have come forward to collect money, and they are almost guaranteed to make money without losing money. If the harvest is still the same next year, the rich will have to worry about whether the farmers will take risks and cause a peasant uprising due to the double pressure of famine and borrowing.

In the "Farming Loan Law" written by Carnot, if the harvest next year is poor or equal to this year, no interest will be charged, and interest will only be paid when there is a bumper harvest. It also referred to other people's laws and made adjustments and revisions to write a code of law so quickly.

Farmers are like this, they want to save their money after a bumper harvest, so as not to need it for other urgent matters. It is for this reason that so many coins have been minted in France, and there are still not many circulating in the market.

The vast majority of French farmers will still pay. Signing a contract means making a promise. If you do not accept this condition, you will not sign a contract.

What belongs to God belongs to God, what belongs to Caesar belongs to Caesar, human life is composed of spirit and body, and the state is responsible for the secular happiness of human beings. The title of "citizen" is because he accepts the constraints of the country's laws. Before opposing the "king", shouldn't he understand what a "citizen" does?

Georgiana rubbed her stomach.

In this world can she really have children? What was born?

A woman's comparison heart is like a tree root growing in the ground, and she feels that she can definitely raise a better child than that Polish woman.

Then she laughed again.

How can a dream come true?

This is just a world made up of desires.

"Miss," Sophie called.

Georgiana looked up.

"Here you are." Sophie handed her a handkerchief.

"What is this for?"

"The First Consul wants you to leave a lip print on it." Sophie said with an ambiguous smile.

"Take it away!" she said angrily.

"He has something else he wants me to bring to you."

"I don't want to hear it." She said with a blushing face, probably about kissing or something, how could he have the nerve to let a girl bring such words.

"He said, 'I once possessed you, like a beautiful dream, I was king in the dream, and it was nothing but nothing when I woke up'." Sophie said, "This is Shakespeare's poem, right?"

Farewell, you are too precious for me to climb;

Evidently you know your worth;

The securities of your value redeem you,

I've got to give up all about your bonds.

For how can I possess you without your permission?

How could I have the good fortune to enjoy such treasures?

Since this favor has no basis for me,

I had to cancel my patent license.

You promised me because you underestimated yourself,

Or misunderstand me, thy bestowed;

Therefore your bountiful gift, which was due to a misunderstanding, is returned to you with a better judgment.

In this way, I have possessed you like a sweet dream.

Reigning in the dream is nothing but nothing when waking up.

"He really likes this kind of negative emotion." Georgiana shook her head, both Racine and Corneille were good at tragedies, so how could they still read books full of tragedies under such great pressure.

"Then how do you encourage him?" Sophie said enthusiastically.

She took the handkerchief from Sophie's hand, leaving pink lip marks on the snow-white handkerchief.

Although this is her own lip print, she still thinks it is too fragrant.

So she took a page and started writing again.

I read the Talmud, which says that you should be kind to yourself every moment. If people are created in the image of God, then everyone is a copy of God. Being kind to others and yourself is an expression of being kind to God. .

After she finished writing, she folded it and handed it to Sophie along with the handkerchief.

"Can I see it?" Sophie asked curiously.

"Look," Georgiana said quietly, since she hadn't written anything shady.

Sophie opened the letter paper.

"Don't you think it's selfish to just be kind to yourself?" Sophie asked.

"What I'm afraid of is that I forget to treat myself kindly. Like the Merchant of Venice, I don't want to eat." Georgiana sneered. "As long as you have a lot of money, you will feel that you have a high status."

"Then why don't you treat yourself more?" Sophie asked "What do you want for yourself?"

"As long as he doesn't get sick, I'll take care of him if he has a cold. How much do you think the Prince of Wales likes her Catholic widow?" She began to think about "what gift should I give her?"

"You want revenge?" Sophie asked.

"This is reciprocity." Georgiana smiled sweetly. "I remember that the princess is in Italy, right? Let's just give the crown prince two Italian oil paintings. Anyway, there are too many paintings in it and there is no place to put them."

Merry Christmas~
