Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1386 "Industrial Feast"

  In the Middle Ages, historians once counted the average consumption of people. A city with a size of 3,000 people needs about 10,000 quintals of food throughout the year.

  By 1792, Raymond Le Penn estimated that an adult would consume about 3 colors of flour per year and 3.8 quintals per year, which remained roughly the same as the average quota in the Middle Ages.

People who enjoy meat and other foods eat less than 1 pound of bread a day. Assuming that the French population was 29 million before the outbreak of the Revolution, children who rarely eat bread will be deducted, and those who have other food will be deducted, those who eat bread. There are about 25 million to 26 million. Wheat consumption will reach 26 million setiers, and rye will reach 39 million setiers, with a value of 520 million and 585 million livres, respectively, with a total value of 1.105 billion.

In addition to human rations, seeds of early spring crops, oats for raising livestock, etc., should be supplemented by 425 million livres. From this, Lyon’s municipal official Ranzhi concluded that the establishment of the General Directorate of Grain would require 1.275 billion livres. 1 livre is equal to 1 franc now, so it is 1.2 billion francs, and only a lot more.

  In addition, more roads need to be built. The inconvenience of transportation makes the price of food vary between provinces and even neighboring provinces, and the price difference is sometimes absurd. Distance and road conditions cut France into seven and eight pieces, which caused difficulties for the residents. Among the 32 provinces in the early days of the Revolution, 12 of the provinces with the largest population often lacked food, 10 had a balance of supply and demand, and 10 had The remaining. This kind of imbalance cannot be solved by inter-provincial adjustments, because the transportation is slow, the cost is high, and the distant water cannot save the nearby fire.

The war even added fuel to the fire. The munitions merchants' forced search and raids disrupted the normal grain circulation, and the army's recruitment of transport vehicles also hindered the normal work of the farmers. This led to the fact that even if Lyon was short of grain, there was no surplus grain in other provinces. The law comes.

  After Lange finished speaking, Nafshato went on to say that the first governor said last year that an industrial fair will be held in Paris every April. If the agreement is completed, then the British will also participate.

  The railway in Liverpool, England uses steam engines, so they may exhibit steam engines when participating in the exhibition, while France considers using horses, which means that a large amount of imported livestock is needed to solve the fertilizer problem.

  There are also horse-drawn threshing machines, harvesters and balers in northern France, but these are not so "decent" when combined with steam engines.

Originally, the Senate was discussing the location of the first railway for smelting. There was more than one city that produced ore and coal. After the road was repaired, the two cities and the rapid development along the line, but Napoleon took away the motion. The textile industry will still be exhibited at the Industrial Fair in April?

  Georgina asked Nafschato, where will the exhibition be held? Nafshato said that the first ruling has only issued orders, and the location has not yet been determined.

Georgiana remembers that London built the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park in order to host the first World Industrial Products Fair. It was an exhibition hall similar to a greenhouse and a railway station. The exterior walls and roof were made of glass. In order to hold this exhibition well, the British government issued Full cost.

  She remembered that it took a year to repair the Crystal Palace, and then she calculated the time. 1802 happened to be the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the French Republic, so she decisively delayed the April Industrial Fair.

  Holding an industrial fair is a good opportunity to shift the focus of the issue. There is no need to talk about the church or the issue of peace treaties. The premise is that peace can really be achieved.

  She needs architects, glass manufacturers, and steel companies to build the steel structure. As for the construction site of this "greenhouse", it needs to be appointed by "His Majesty the Emperor".

  Waiting for Michelle to send the two guests away, Georgian asked Sophie to pour herself a cup of black tea, perhaps because it is not surprising that Sophie has the ability to become unsurprising now.

The 1.2 billion budget is based on a population of 29 million. The French population is now 36 million. In addition to the 75 million francs bill received yesterday, 1.3 billion francs will cost Napoleone at least for nearly three years. The total amount of taxes.

   "Make a note of what was just now." After Sophie put down the teapot, Georgianna said to her, "Also call Poitwin."

   "Yes, ma'am." Sophie bowed to her according to court etiquette and left the study.

  This is the second day Napolioni left, and she wants to write a letter.

   "You are not very sick." Georgiana said emotionally, and she didn't know what kind of person she was in the eyes of other liberals.

  Montesquieu mentioned the spirit of extreme equality in "On the Spirit of the Law". Montesquieu believes that true equality does not mean that everyone gives orders, nor does everyone obey orders. People are born equal in the original state, but people cannot stay in the original state for a long time. Society makes people lose equality. Only through the law can equality be realized again.

Rousseau also mentioned in the book that it is impossible for everyone to engage in political life. Citizens give power to some people through votes. This small part exercises the right to rule, and most of them are ruled. This kind of majority rule, and the minority is ruled. Violating the laws of nature.

  For example, on a construction site, nine of ten people are supervisors and one is working. Who dares to hire such a contracting team?

  In the absence of Napoleon, the hidden forces from all walks of life began to move out. Georgiana believes that the Parliament must be very "lively" now.

  The natural position of virtue is close to freedom, but the distance between it and extreme freedom is as far away as the distance between it and slavery.

  She can’t just sit like this, let the activists outside do whatever they want, wait for them to instigate people’s passions and then overthrow the "king".

  Napolioni is not full of wings, at this time when the eagle will fall to death like last time.

She sat in meditation for a while, when Sophie’s fiancé Godan came, he did not dress very gorgeously when he gained power like other people, but a kind of Dandy style clothes, simple style but well-cut, clothes The quality is also good, so it looks more pleasing to the eye.

  "Do you know what's going on on the parliament side?" Georgiana asked.

   "I know." Poitvin said, "Sies is inspiring the two houses to establish judicial review houses to review current laws."

  Georgina's sleepy mind suddenly awoke.

  For example, the law promulgated by Napoleon that restricts women from wearing pants, if the judicial review court is established and has real power, they can delete this law on grounds of unconstitutionality.

  The Declaration of Human Rights is based on the American Bill of Rights, "freedom, equality, and fraternity". The right not to wear pants to women is inequality.

In addition, they can also delete other laws. However, the two houses of law do not stipulate in the Constitution the review system for unconstitutional legislation. Just as the Constitution stipulates that the first ruling party cannot lead the army, but it does not stipulate that it cannot be accompanied by the army. Sis led the majority party to vote, unless Napoleon used force to dissolve the parliament like the foggy coup, but in doing so, Napoleon would not be the hero who saved the victory of the revolution.

   "Should I be worried?" Georgiana asked Poitivin.

  "The people who made the Civil Code are more anxious than you. They are all legislators." Poitwin said with a smile.

  "I have something to arrange for you. This year's Industrial Expo I want to be a little more luxurious. I need a venue for your relatives..."

   "I think the tender can be passed." Poitwin interrupted Georgiana "Vincent can be in charge of the organization."

   "I think you continue to monitor there. If something happens, tell me as soon as possible, and I will lead the troops there." Georgiana reminded.

   "They didn't dare." Poitte said coldly, "With the current prestige of the Führer, it is impossible."

   "He went to the west this time not just to review. It is possible that he will be at war with the British." Georgiana said, "You know how bad our navy is."

   "It may also become the second battle of Toulon." Poitwin said calmly.

   "Help me stare, okay?" Georgiana begged, "Now we can only rely on you."

  "You are not like the kind of woman who needs to live by others, but you need to worry about ‘over there.’" Poitwin smiled weirdly, "Do you need me to look at her?"

   "As long as she doesn't go out." Georgiana said tiredly, "Let the women go, Leon doesn't like the appearance of young handsome men in Malmaison."

  Poitwin bowed and stepped back. He looked like a palace sign.
