Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 3271 The unpredictable light (2)

Before the large-scale expansion, London was actually a city very suitable for walking. Sherlock Holmes in Conan Doyle's novel loved walking. Even Louis XVIII dressed like an Englishman after arriving in London and walked along the Thames River.

Once Bonaparte took Georgiana for a walk in the Chaumont Hill Park. There were too many people in the Tuileries Garden, and the Luxembourg Gardens were full of "acquaintances."

He had a dream to build a prestigious and luxurious pedestrian mall in Paris.

In the old days, there was already a plan to open a triumphal route from east to west through Paris, but it was never realized.

However, Bonaparte did not intend to use Rivoli Street as a triumphal route. One day, Diloc was half asleep and was suddenly awakened by the noise of construction outside. Looking out from the Tuileries Palace, Fontaine and Percy It was five o'clock in the morning when E was breaking ground.

There were about 500 of them, and they were very motivated. When Diloc got dressed and asked them what was going on, it turned out that at 11 o'clock the night before, Bonaparte summoned Fontaine and Persier and asked them to build a triumphal arch. Of course, there is no budget and design drawings in a short time.

This is what Talleyrand meant when he said, "Don't stamp it casually, don't publish his will casually."

The construction of Rivoli Street began in 1801. Fontaine and Bossier's plan was to use Rivoli Street as a central line to build a completely symmetrical neoclassical building, showing elegance in its seriousness.

Via Castiglione is a short street, a small project compared to the vast Via Rivoli.

During the Portuguese Revolution, Napoleon fought fiercely with civilians on the Rue Saint-Honoré at the corner of this street. The constitution written by Sieyes clearly stated that the army could not attack civilians, so he bombarded the civilians with cannons.

At that time, he was idle because he had joined the Jacobins. If the normal process was followed, all this area would be demolished, including the Dominican monastery where the Jacobin club is located.

Originally there was no Castiglione Street. During the Battle of Rivoli there was a battlefield called Castiglione. At the same time, the name was an Italian writer who wrote a "Courtier". The rooms in the Tuileries Palace are reserved for ministers, who would be called up for meetings in the middle of the night. In the past, many courtiers of the old palace would live not far from the palace. The buildings in that street will be dedicated to "courtiers" in the future. They prepared.

Fontaine and the others also plan to add arcades between these buildings. Such long street arcades will not require as much steel as the panoramic arcades on Montmartre.

Both Bonaparte and Georgiana were wrong in predicting that British miners and steelworkers would not go on strike because they had too much work to do.

Reinstating taxes on steel imports, or even high tariff barriers, may result in more members of the British Parliament no longer leaning toward peace, because steel and coal mine territories are generally owned by the nobility, whether in Britain or France.

The work of recasting cannon shells and cannons has not been delayed. Anyway, they are done, so let's use them.

Judging from the land-renting farm system implemented in South Africa, the vast farms are only suitable for the development of animal husbandry, and cannot be developed together with agriculture and animal husbandry like the British enclosure movement. Of course, this has nothing to do with how the United States develops after acquiring new land. In its own They can do whatever they want on the land.

Stealing maps is the job of spies. I have never heard of anyone voluntarily giving the map of his country to foreigners, and it was surveyed using precise surveying technology.

Although American southerners lost the Civil War, their vigilance and military literacy remained. Offering a map and offering a city basically have the same meaning. There is an idiom "the map is poor and the dagger cannot be seen". Jing Ke approached the King of Qin with a map of the ceded city and hid the fish intestine sword in the map.

The Americans seemed to have won the Revolutionary War, and O'Hara gave the sword to General Washington.

British people who have been doing business with Italians for a long time have realized how inconvenient it is to convert between metric units and imperial units. Edgeworth is actually promoting imperial units in disguise.

But Georgiana expected that someone would definitely hand over the survey map to the bankers to get a loan. It would be difficult for those who had participated in the war to return to daily life. There were so many wandering soldiers on the streets of Paris. Once they met a missing soldier. A one-legged soldier, Bonaparte told himself to stand up and stop lying on the ground begging.

He later joined a tobacco company and started rolling cigarettes. He was similar to the disabled soldiers who made uniforms at the Invalides. He only lost one of his legs, but his hands were still good.

Those hydrological stations are basically chosen in affluent places. If there is a string that is always tight and cannot be relaxed like others, then go do the work that requires vigilance. When the space in the Invalides becomes available, the veterans on the street can go into the Invalides to repair.

"Anarchy" is not always a bad thing. For example, the cooperatives formed by British workers to help themselves were formed spontaneously by them. They helped each other and tided over difficulties together.

The homeless people on the street are also "free", but ordinary citizens feel that they affect the appearance of the city and need the police to drive them away.

Fouche did not do this at all. Compared with the gathering of these veterans, it had nothing to do with him that they were just idle on the streets.

Minding one's own business is a way of survival. If the British Auror hadn't gone to France to capture Grindelwald, would Leta Lestrange still be dead as a bride-to-be?

It was Leta Lestrange who destroyed Grindelwald's skull. If the skull had been there, Grindelwald's demonic fire might not have gone out of control.

Also, Paris is a French city and needs the protection of foreigners?

Thinking about it now, even if Paris is going to fall into chaos again, and even spread to the whole of Europe, what does it have to do with a person who lives in a place that cannot be marked on the map?

She didn't need Paris as much as Madame de Staël, and Paris didn't need her, so she could just go.

But when she saw the eye-shaped pendant around her neck, she felt reluctant to let it go.

Bonaparte slept with her last night, but nothing happened.

He did not want to lose another brother-in-law, and he would not agree to Murat's request, even if Murat was wandering around the luxurious palace in Milan like a trapped animal.

Something would definitely happen to such a garrison commander. Georgiana even wanted to change her itinerary, from the Via Cerny to Milan, and then take a boat back to Marseille from any port.

Those "orthodox" and "Orleanists" are actually easy to understand. When the king comes back, the previous privileges will also come back. The difference between them lies in the connection between the Orleansites and London.

Mr. Martin said that Georgiana reminded him of Joan of Arc, which was nonsense. Who had ever seen Joan of Arc from England? She was more like a spy.

After explaining the "future affairs", Georgiana left the Seine River Authority and went to the Bagatier Garden.

The flood requires a flood outlet. It is close to the Seine River and there are no residential areas around it, so it should be suitable.

It seemed that she had thought before that if she wanted to escape, she would have to take a boat in Bagatier. Why Bagatier? There are obviously so many palaces.

She sat on the carriage and looked back in the direction of the Tuileries Palace, feeling a lot of reluctance in her heart.

But it's time to go.

She turned her head and looked ahead.

This trip to France is the most precious memory in her life, and she will not delete it, no matter what the reason.
