Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 1447
Georgiana never imagined that one day she might be at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, although there was no International Court of Justice in the early 19th century.
However, using ships to create gas chambers and submerging ships to destroy evidence does not seem justified anyway. Even if the domestic public opinion blockade does not know about it, it will spread abroad, and the British newspaper Napoleon has nothing to do with it.
After the signing of the Amiens Agreement, many French people will go to England, and when they come back, they will be as shocked as the English people who traveled to Ireland during the famine.
His seemingly indestructible rule is crumbling, and she doesn't want to accompany him to the international court for trial, and she is still in the position of the defendant.
It takes a lot of time and money to build an iron bridge, and it needs to be repaired slowly in peacetime, which is what Napoleon lacks now.
In contrast, the road is more imminent.
Common people always blame the Girondins for not regulating grain prices. Lange’s solution is to set a constant price, and all grains on the market that exceed this price will be seized and auctioned. This is more in line with Napoleon’s wishes, because the auction proceeds It is owned by the state, and public opinion still supports him. Anyone who drives up food prices in the eyes of ordinary people deserves to die.
But the basis for this price to be enforced is to ensure that there is enough grain in the market. Everyone knows that the rarest is the most expensive, and the price is set. However, there is not so much grain in the grain market, and the price will still rise. Lang Zhi said a very simple and simple truth, transporting grain from counties with cheap grain prices to counties with high grain prices, for example, selling grain at 58 francs per quintal in an area of 23 francs per quintal, so it is considered as buying 38 francs per quintal , not only the people who transport the grain earn some money, but also the common people in the areas with high grain prices buy cheap grain, so that everyone can benefit.
But this simple question involves two problems. One is the road conditions in France, and the other is that bandits and beggars block the road. The army cannot clear a smooth road, and there is no way for large convoys to complete this inter-provincial transfer.
At the same time, when the price of grain starts to rise, the farmer will hold on to the grain and wait for it to rise. What can he do if he collects the grain and does not sell it to others? He will not sell if the market price does not meet his "expected" price.
Rural people can eat potatoes and black bread by themselves, sell the wheat for white bread at a high price to make money, and then store the coins in the field for emergency use, such as paying military service tax. You don't have to be a soldier to die.
It’s also impossible to use paper currency. They have seen the scene of the collapse of the index before, so Napoleon exempted them from taxation was a wrong move. He had to impose heavy taxes, forcing them to sell grain and pay tax.
Napoleon's conscription was still in the ancient Roman period, thinking that the source of soldiers engaged in agriculture and farming was better than that in the city. The latest census has a population of 36 million in France. After removing those repeated registrations and floating population, there are still about 29 million. Compared with 28 million people before the outbreak of the Great Revolution, the population has also increased.
How many people died in France in 10 years? According to the number reported by the Ministry of War, there are about 1 million people, but this data may be false, and Napoleon himself changed the battle report.
Assuming that half of these 1 million people are married, according to Garnier's 600 franc subsidy for a widow, it would cost 30 million a year, not counting their legitimate and illegitimate children, 38 million francs would be a small amount.
Assuming a woman whose husband died because of her military service and gave birth to six children, all of whom survived, then she can get an annual salary of 2,700 francs, and an ordinary low-level government employee has an annual salary of about 1,200 francs. Doing other jobs to support the family, with such generous rewards, will women be eager to marry soldiers?
When Georgiana saw ringworm on Napoleon's body, she suspected that he had some strange disease that would infect her. The soldiers were fighting outside, and they lived a life where the sun would rise tomorrow. They could afford to rent a car for 3 francs. Pay the coachman 6 francs, and only ask the emperor to "teach him a lesson", what do they care?
It was not without reason that Napoleon kicked this "talking" political economist out of the Senate.
War is only beautiful when it is over, and now Georgiana felt fully the disgrace that Narcissa Malfoy had felt at Lucius' trial.
What Garnier said about subsidizing widows can be ignored for the time being, and the matter of giving them bread rolls can be considered. Most women are more law-abiding, and they can receive bread with their certificates and bread rolls. As for crying from hunger, so that they are not like those women who held up their aprons and went to Versailles to ask the king for cheap bread.
It is common sense that there is a granary in the palace. When the capital is surrounded and the king is waiting for other lords to come to rescue him, the grain in the palace can not only be eaten by himself, but also by Swiss mercenaries. Women and children don't eat as much as wrestlers. Georgiana can try to persuade Napoleon to open the palace granary to supply bread to these orphans and widows, and those who cut meat for him will have work to do.
This group of people has been appeased, and those women who did not get the bread may feel dissatisfied, but other people's husbands are dead, and other husbands who are still alive can still find them. These men need to work. The public Engineering is the most job-creating.
The weather is getting warmer, the ice is beginning to melt, the canal 4 francs a day's work is gone, and the grain ship is due to come.
Boats can bring hope to people, but they can also bring despair to people. When people see a boat full of warehouses, people will have confidence. When they see a boat that is almost empty, people will have no confidence. Panic consumption will accelerate hoarding, and most people will not To calculate how much food you eat in a year.
3.3 quintals is just an average number. Some weaker men who work in literature may not eat as much as a woman who does heavy physical labor or is gluttonous.
When a person is full of confidence, he feels that he can do anything, but when he encounters setbacks, he will doubt himself.
Interest and fear are the levers that drive people to act. Even if it is not for reselling, they will hoard a little. At this time, the only solution is to keep filling and emptying the warehouse. When everyone has too much food at home, his sense of fear will be Will disappear, and then no longer buy food hoarding.
Only by ensuring smooth transportation lines and sufficient supply of goods can the price of grain drop, or use the method used by the people of the Song Dynasty to let an official everywhere notify businessmen who want to speculate that Paris allows high prices to sell grain, and many grain merchants All of a sudden, they rushed into the city, so that the quantity of grain increased and the price dropped.
According to Turgot’s estimate, the total grain shipment volume in Europe is 5 million quintals, France accounts for half of it, about 2.5 million quintals, and the total consumption is more than 50 million quintals, even if Godoy sells 2 million quintals Food to France, how to transport so much food to Paris?
Before the Great Revolution, France's food sources were mainly Britain, the Baltic Sea, the United States, and South Russia. The main transit points for grain imports are the port cities of Dunkirk, Rouen, Nantes and Marseilles. These ships are not all large ships, and small ships can also be loaded.
These foreign grains from the sea followed the river to Orleans, and passed through the Rhone to Lyon. During the Great Revolution, a vicious grain robbery incident occurred on the side of the Orleans Canal, when two ships full of grain were robbed.
Although canal transportation is relatively cheap, it cannot be used for three months in winter and summer due to seasonal factors. Therefore, building a railway from Lyon to Paris can solve the food problem.
Paris, the largest city, and Lyon, the second largest city, have frequent exchanges. It is also more convenient to transport steel to Lyon. It is also convenient to build a railway from Lyon to Paris, and then to transport steel to Paris to build an aqueduct.
Or try dog sledding on frozen rivers in winter.
She thought it was so humorous that she wrote at the end, typed the report with a typewriter, and wrote her name in the corner, then put it in the folder with the written letter, and called Mathil Da, let her personally deliver this letter to the First Consul.
Georgiana doesn't have a good opinion of 20th-century Americans, but America's founding leaders are really nice. She never dreamed that the United States would sometimes be bullied.
This may be because it is still in its infancy and has not become the behemoth it later became.
Voldemort killed Harry because he felt that Harry was a threat, and she didn't want to become a "baby killer" like Voldemort.
Or should it be done? (or should i?)
She recalled the mushroom cloud rising up, and the sun-like light when the atomic bomb exploded.
Human nature in war is fragile. Perhaps the saying "There is no good war, and there is no bad peace" is the truth.
