Chapter 1297 Whispers of the Devil
Hator once said that as long as Napoleon gets on the carriage, he will be particularly intimate.
It was true before, but recently they are not like they used to be alone in the carriage.
He would hold her, sometimes reading documents, sometimes chatting, art, philosophy, mythology, war, etc. On the way to Notre Dame de Paris, they talked about the "road".
Corporation is a heavy burden imposed on the people, especially the peasants. When the rich marvel at the progress of society and the glory of civilization, the peasants are frustrated.
At the end of the reign of Louis XIV, the main traffic arteries were unmaintained, or were maintained by the owners of the main arteries. Director Oli came up with a "genius" idea. These main arteries, or according to what the people of the time called the royal family, The roads were built by the poorest and least travelled farmers. After the Seven Years’ War, the tax packagers tried to convert the corvee into a local tax, but they still had to pay the farmers, but they obviously had no money to travel.
The naval fleet is a little better. The lumber shipped to the coastal warship repair factory will uniform a certain salary, but the salary is paid at will, and the amount is very low. Even if it is, it is better than road repairs. The king does not pay a penny, the peasants To him completely for nothing.
This is more cost-effective and saved a lot of money, so the nobles promoted that even the barracks and all public projects were used for military service. In the past, there were not many conventional troops. The military service in the repair barracks was relatively light. Later, the army changed defense. Expansion, every army carries a heavy baggage, and the relocation of the army has become very heavy.
The nobles drove luxury carriages to enjoy the pleasure of running on these **** and sweaty roads. The prosperity of business has nothing to do with these poor people. On the contrary, they are burdened by severe road wear. The benevolent Louis XVI announced the cancellation of such roads, but this The peasants did not appreciate him, on the contrary, they rioted.
The lord called those farmers who created wealth for them as humble farmers. The wealth they grabbed in the territory was taken to places like Paris to spend. The farmers and the countryside were like useless fruit pulp after squeezing the juice out of the juicer. , Was thrown aside.
The roads are not repaired, and the caravans will not come. What do they do in the countryside all day long?
After the Reformation, people's thinking began to change. French literature was very developed, and writers in the third-tier parliament were also a force that should not be underestimated.
Not only the people in the city can read their works, but also the country folks. When the poor and the rich have almost no common interests, common grievances, and common affairs, they have split. The French aristocracy used privileges and official positions to obtain tax exemption rights. This was a very majestic thing at first, but the more their exemptions, the more they emphasized civility over military affairs, and their relationship with the military was also bad. They were isolated and helpless without self-protection. Under the condition of ability, it became the target of people's anger.
After these nobles went to Paris, the church was in charge of territorial affairs. This involved complicated religious reforms, and Leon took it over without going into details. The influence of the American War of Independence on the French Revolution was not as great as the influence of French thought on the revolution.
The War of Independence surprised other European countries, but it is no stranger to the French, because they have already experienced it in the book. Those farmers live in an ideal country built by writers, and political education is entirely carried out by the writer. This is what Napoleon saw. A very terrible thing.
The great revolution caused all the good and the bad to die. He wanted to rebuild a new country on the ruins. This year, due to the famine, he will be exempt from land tax by 10 million francs. This tax reduction is for future Zhangben. When farmers have money, they will buy wine, meat and flour. He can collect taxes on these.
But then he will have no money. Miss Georgiaanna must find a way to help him earn it back.
"Have you ever wondered why the old man who visited you yesterday wanted to talk about tax exemption?" The great Napoleon said with a slick tone.
"Fair."
As soon as her voice fell, her forehead was bounced.
"You are better than Joseph because you are not blindly benevolent. The Italian you told me last time, he killed anyone in his enemy's family. I released some prisoners in Italy. They were very scared at first. If you want to let them go, you will be happy. At that time, I thought the courage of the ancients had disappeared from these Italians. Can you tell me who the Italians killed the woman?"
"Austrian woman."
Leon smiled with satisfaction. "It seems that because of me, the courage of the Italians has been resurrected. The Seni Pass is in the west of Italy, and the export is in Turin, while the cotton is in the eastern Mediterranean. Strasbourg, Lyon will not be the gateway to cotton imports."
Georgiana opened her eyes wide.
"The old man made you ‘fair’. If I really exempted the tax on German raw silk, it would be unfair to Lyon and Turin. On the contrary, it would make the Viennese cheaper. Do you know what he meant by doing this?"
She shook her head blankly.
"After the United Kingdom buys grain from us, Russia and Poland don’t need to ship their surplus grain to them. Transportation by land needs to go through Germany. It is not within his scope of his consideration whether the weaving industry in Lyon will recover, and the transportation industry also needs it. A lot of manpower, do you understand what I said?"
"Am I being used?" she wailed.
A fifty-year-old is not as shrewd as a 30-year-old, as if those years have lived elsewhere.
Leon smiled. "He is teaching you not to listen to what others say. Every consultant has his own interests. If you don’t know how to see through him, you will make unwise choices. Nishan Road is very interested, and may want to be contracted by a person. He uses this road, and he has to pay for the road maintenance. This is very unfair to other transportation companies that also want the right to operate this mountain road. Then do your best to treat you, do you want to let him split the benefits to others?"
"My brain is idling." She said blankly.
"You are still too young in front of these scheming men, mother." Napoleon deliberately said loudly.
If she could faint on the spot, she would definitely do it.
Her reaction entertained the Corsican, and he laughed loudly.
He acted on her like a gangster, because self-confidence was hit, she let him do whatever he wanted.
After a lingering kiss is over, he looks at her like an artwork.
"But he didn't expect you to do engineering. I think this is where you British people are great. Try to reduce manpower. It seems that I have another business to discuss with Austria."
"Different track pitches, personnel carriers cannot communicate with each other." She said Ai Aide said in the future.
"You still understand this. You just said that you want me to support you. Then you tell me how to support it? Is it to close the Strasbourg barrier and continue to impose taxes on the raw silk exports, or to ignore the silk weavers in Lyon, let Are they going to do transportation?"
"I have to think about this." She said blankly.
"The supply of the army requires a lot of manpower. This old man is for us. Prussia is very closed. The Junker nobles enjoy the same privileges as the nobles of our old times. They also gave me a scornful name of'Boney'. Don't you think these people need to be severely taught?"
"Didn’t you want to see the beautiful queen of Prussia?"
"Little fool." He said affectionately, "Why don't you prepare your wedding dress?"
"I see." She smiled and nodded. "The girls decide where to buy their wedding dresses. No matter how expensive they are, they will be willing to spend money. Do you want me to buy Lyon silk as a wedding dress?"
"This way I will be tax-free and protect Lyon's silk industry." He explained very well that "women must do what they are determined to do."
"You are a man, and if you are determined to do one thing, it is not the same to achieve your goal."
"Leaving from Saint Luke's Palace that day, I kissed you in front of Fouché and Dubois, not deliberately belittle you to show them." He said with a gentle smile.
She blinked her eyes and recalled the scene.
At that time, he took her out of the King’s Suite and boarded the carriage to the Grand Trianon. He also played hooligans on her as before, and then she gave him a slap in the face.
"I remember that you slept on a camp bed the night before."
"Princess, you also said to me, you are not an ordinary woman, you are Medea, if I transfer love, you will kill my heir and my new love, I have never seen such a terrible woman , But... why don’t you wear tights when you wake up in the morning? There was a thought in my mind that you didn’t wear anything under your clothes. I think even if you really want to kill me and my heir, I’ll try it. You are as attractive as a forbidden fruit."
"Stop talking..." she whispered.
"You don't hate me, although you beat me." He smiled and said, "No other woman in France dares to do this. I corresponded with the Prince of Wales. Are all English women like you? He asked me to ask you, you Do you dare to hit him?"
"If you took my foot fetters..."
"I know you didn't mean to be coquettish, but by nature. Your father hid you in Scotland, but Severus couldn't help but want to bring you out to meet the world, just like those rich men who couldn't help showing off. He must regret losing your wealth, but who told him to make an unwise choice."
"he is very smart……"
"Don't overestimate the man, Georgiana, we are all the same, even if he is a wizard." Napoleon smiled bitterly. "I won't be as stupid as him. You will stay at home after the canal opening ceremony. Don't go in social situations. "
"I didn't go very much, but what should I do if I want to meet people in my business?"
"Do you think you can take care of the business I gave you? Didn't your mind just be idling?" Napoleon asked.
"Then what are you going to do!" She was so angry that she was screaming.
"My mind is also idling." He said blankly, "I want to hide you, but also want to show it off."
"What do you men think?" she asked inexplicably.
"When I was in Upper Egypt, there used to be a pair of enemies. A Greek slave girl allowed these two enemies to give in. They united against me. The other day you told me that the Pope’s envoy kidnapped by the Americans, I was really like that. I’m doing it. I’m afraid now that the United States will become myself and defeat the two united enemies.” Napoleon whispered, “When I was a general, I was thinking, if I had French and Italian troops, Is there anything I can’t do? I think I’m too confident."
"Don't say that." She hugged him.
"Don't let courtiers read the theory of monarchy, you shouldn't recommend it to that kid today." Napoleon said.
"I know I was wrong."
"Do you think everyone should have the power to change their destiny?"
"No, if power falls into the hands of bad guys, it will cause terrible consequences."
He kissed her on the forehead. "Use that book as your underwear. Don't let others see it. I am afraid of losing you like Severus."
She looked into his eyes.
"I am happy to be with civilians, but we live with powerful people. You are brave, but you can't be reckless. People in the church are not as foolish as civilians. You can't wait a while. Hit me like just now."
"You're scared?"
"The royal family can never see things clearly. They have been living in the illusion. Restoration can't be done by writing a few letters and signing with Louis. You said yesterday that you want to see the Crown of Thorns, so I will show you it, but Why are you asking me if I want to be emperor?"
"I don't want you to be emperor, or queen, or queen regent." She stroked his hair. "If I say I want golden fleece, you will find a way to get it for me?"
"I thought that what I love most is power. It was obtained through so much hard work, sleepless nights, and planning. Now I find that what I really want to do is to make France strong and find something in my family. Fun, I am authoritarian because it runs fast, not because I like to hear that title..."
"Let's not look at the Crown of Thorns." She took his hand, and he was shaking.
"No, we are going, your new guardian is waiting for us." He sighed, "We can't escape, and maybe he will secretly hold a religious ceremony for us."
"You and the Prince of Wales are writing to discuss this?" she asked incredulously.
"It's incredible, isn't it?" Napoleon said, "He fell in love with a Catholic woman, and I fell in love with a Protestant woman."
She still finds it incredible.
"The Latin text you wrote in the manuscript was translated by me, "I wish fate to give me freedom, just as nature gave me." That was what Erasmus said, but neither of us is completely free. Bound?"
"Are you peeking at my manuscript?" she said incredulously.
"There is a romantic and epic dream imprinted in my mind. I used to work hard every day and I was so exhausted that I fell asleep as soon as I went to bed. Otherwise I would think of myself alone and lonely. Now I see you in every morning. Around me, I feel very unreal. I need something to prove that you exist."
She could not answer his question, because she also doubted whether she was a mixed-blood Veela.
A woman without beauty, no matter how smart she is, she is not eligible for love.
"Do you understand how I feel now?" He asked, "I need a highly anticipated wedding. Everyone has witnessed that I am married to you. He can't give you this, right?"
"Yes." She said with tears in pain, "People all over the world know that he loves Lily, and I have always lived in her reputation."
"Stay with me, I beg you." Bonaparte begged.
'agreed. ’
She heard a whisper.
She remembered Hathor’s warning that many women had already been conquered by him.
"Will you let me go?" She said, "My husband has been humiliated enough by you."
"I will liberate you."
"Who said just now that I should stay at home?"
"They are right, the Veeva race can really make people crazy." He smiled and said, "It would be great if there were two women like you."
"Can I beat you now? Your lord?" she said coldly.
He leaned his face towards him, but was pushed away by her.
"During the government affairs meeting, I will let everyone discuss freely. I am good at debating and they are not as good as me. I let them attack because I know how to protect myself, but I am not defended in front of you." He put her hand on the position of the heart "Can you feel it?"
She just wanted to say no, but she felt a throbbing sensation, like an illusion.
How can the heart of the dead beat?
"God does not intend to take care of everything, so as not to deprive us of our free will and glory." He said softly and intoxicated, "Let's create the future together, Georgiana."
"You are really good at deceiving people, Bonaparte."
"You confuse me first. Don't go back to Scotland. You are buried with me." He held her face. "I will put you away, put it in a safe place, and keep it carefully, so that you won’t be surprised, you won’t suffer, you won’t suffer. Leaving away, lest you have nothing to rely on, that person is here, right in front of you."
It was the first time they danced, and Hathor read the poem to him.
They were waltz at the time.
"I understand why Cobain committed suicide." He smiled contemptuously, "I want to die now."
"Why do you all give up your lives so lightly?" She said angrily.
"It's easier to die. I can't stand your torment." Bonaparte said tiredly. "Even if I was stabbed dozens of times like Caesar, it wouldn't be as uncomfortable as I am now."
"Don't say dead!"
"Sure." He said coldly, and then bowed his head and kissed her.
