Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1448 "Sweeping the Whirlwind"

  Quesnay was naive to think that as long as the free trade of grains can inspire farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain, increasing grain will make farmers rich, and then make the French economy prosperous.

But in fact, farmers in areas with limited information and traffic do not know what the price of food in the city is. Most farmers are more willing to trade in nearby markets. After making a small amount of money, they will buy some wine to reward themselves, and then buy some more. What the family needs, and then go home. There are few people who have dreams and the courage to leave their hometowns and go to the big cities.

When Georgiana was in the countryside monastery, she heard the women in the village say that the city only costs 2 francs a month. Maybe they got it wrong, or maybe their knowledge is this. The main core of life in the quiet village is the church, even if that monastery Not affected by the Revolution, the clock on the clock tower is still hanging on the spot, and no one is going to strike it.

  Before Turgo’s reforms, the bread was monopolized in the hands of the nobles and guilds. No matter how the price of bread rose, the money would not fall into the hands of the peasants.

  Orleans is the domain of the Duke of Orleans. He once planned to build a large grain market near Bondi, hoping to earn market taxes on this grain market through the privileges of the nobility. As a result, Turgo abolished the market tax and made the Duke of Orleans a loss-making business.

In 1775, the French wheat harvest failed. Many merchants hoarded wheat and waited for the price to rise. In April, the bread in Paris rose to 13 sou. In May, there was a bread riot. Turgo, who believed that the poor should be "respected", ordered the suppression of the bread riot and robbery All grain makers were put to death, and merchants selling wheat were encouraged to subsidize wheat imported from Germany.

  In 1776, Turgo was dismissed by Louis XVI, and the grain free trade law was abolished. The nobles rejoiced, but Turgo had already foreseen that the storm of the Great Revolution was coming.

Now that the nobles are gone, and a group of people who monopolize the food market have been replaced. Napoleon’s high tariffs pleased the merchants in Rouen. As one of the important transfer stations, they let them give up part of their interests and persuade them not to hoard food. In theory, it is feasible.

  The nobles who had experienced the Great Revolution were frightened by the guillotine during the reign of terror, and Leoncourt was able to use his wealth to borrow money from the bakery so that they could continue to operate. However, Leon himself also said that they were unwilling to let some people sacrifice their own interests. They didn't care if they lost money from the country. Napoleon bought 1 million quintals of food and lost more than 10 million and imported 200 from Spain. Ten thousand quintals of grain reduced Spain’s war compensation, and Britain used cruisers to transport four silver ships from Spain’s American colonies to India.

William Pitt Jr. is the prime minister in the opposition, and Addington is the current prime minister. Nelson is the spiritual leader of the Navy. He and William Pitt Jr. are allies. Addington is the prime minister responsible for peace with France, so this made the Navy dispatched. Who gave the order?

Every country has infighting, even the United States of America. Even in the Americas, there are Indians, and smallpox is fatal to them. The early colonists once beat the Indians into a **** sea, and then smallpox helped. The Spaniards occupied this "virgin land".

  If Jefferson is really that great, as he said in the speech, he wants to become a nation with the "red men", would he be willing to implement vaccination in the United States like Napoleon?

It is impossible for European shipping companies to complete the transportation of such a large amount of grain. Shipping companies in the Americas will inevitably participate. Although Gabriel Uvral controls the shipping of the entire Americas for his own desires, he It also solves the problem of capacity indirectly. Shannon Shipping was previously dependent on Leclerc. Compared to Moreau, Leclerc, the "brother-in-law of the king," is more reliable. Now he is in Santo Domingo, his son Delmeid is by Georgiana, and Shannon Shipping is It is normal to want to meet.

But Georgiana dared not see anyone now. After Napoleon received her letter, he spent half an hour in the study alone, then called Matilda in, and the reply to her was "Women should stay at home." , And then ignored it.

  Georgiana felt the urgency of the knife rest on her neck again. Whenever her life was threatened, she would think of getting acne, which was almost a stress response to her. He agreed to simply take care of the widow, but the person who presided over the matter was not Georgian, but Josephine. She moved from Malmaison to St. Luke's Palace, and was led by the Countess Seju, the vice-president of the Women’s Association. Assist her in distributing bread rolls and receiving bread.

  Neither men nor women can cross the Sèvres Bridge this time. He set the place to pick up the bread at a few high-traffic street corners, such as the streets of Saint-Caynes and Saint-Martin where the assassinations occurred. This Saint-Martin Street has nothing to do with the Saint-Martin Canal, but is in the Marais district One of the streets in the city, the National Polytechnic Institute, Subiz Mansion, and City Hall are all in this area. The top executives of the Women's Association are often the wives of upstart celebrities, and they will not go to St. Kenis Street, or even the more chaotic Jinshuizhu for relief. Wearing snow-white aprons, they do not bake bread themselves, but are responsible for comforting the widows and their children who come to receive the bread, listening to their needs, and perhaps donating money as soon as they are kind.

600 francs is not a lot of money for them, but it is not a small amount for women at the bottom. Generally speaking, women who are not forced into desperation will not raise an apron and make trouble like a man, like Mrs. Destal. There are still a few who are keen on politics.

  The inquiring Matilda told Georgiana that Mrs. Destal was very competitive, and she would inevitably argue with the equally competitive Napoleon. Napoleon would still deal with her at first, but he would not deal with women, Destal would chase after a certain topic to fight for victory or defeat.

  If a girl is too smart, it will annoy men. Even the "love saint" who wants to be the lover of all women can't stand her.

  The most difficult part of the widow’s life is not the long nights alone, but when the children are noisy. Fortunately, Georgiana has become accustomed to the “enthusiastic and cheerful laughter like angels” of the children in school.

But if the child’s voice is gone, it’s really silent. Dermid will attend a family gathering on Sunday with the children of the “royal family”. Not only that, he will also attend the Notre Dame de Paris on April 18th. Letizia will take him to the Easter Mass.

  During this period, he has to learn etiquette and will not live with the "savage Scottish woman" for the time being. As for when he was sent back, no one said, as if she had been abandoned.

  Normal women may feel sad because of this, but Georgiana feels that she finally has a chance to deal with the Ministry of Magic. How to say she has donated 3 million francs and so much furniture, she can't see nothing.

  The new Ministry of Magic is in the Saint-Germain district of Paris. The French are indeed more tasteful than the British. The entrance is a fountain, which also functions like an elevator instead of a red telephone booth.

  However, when she appeared at the Ministry of Magic, she didn't see the busy scene she imagined. Instead, she saw wizards using this venue as a club to socialize.

She was so angry that she lost her mind. The fire opal ring released a dragon's breath. She turned the flame into a phoenix and made it circle the atrium of the Ministry of Magic. The witches and wizards who were having fun all brushed together. You have to look at her.

  At this moment, she remembered that she was a mixed-blood veel, the target of these pure-blood wizards, but she couldn't hold back at this time.

  "We are still at war." Georgiana looked around. "The Muggle border is open, but ours can't. Don't forget that a wizard stole confidential documents on February 17."

  "Do you want to restrict the entry of British people?" Someone said in the crowd "Do you include you?"

  "Who is talking to me." Georgiana asked.

  No one answered this time.

   "Where is Rabastan?" Georgiana asked.

  "Following your orders, we are hunting the dragon." Carolan Lestrange sneered behind her and said, "If the director is not there, the staff will have a party."

Until now, the new Minister of Magic has not been elected. Although everyone's default candidate is Rabastan Lestrange, he vacated that position and acted as a director of the Law Enforcement Department, intervening in the management of the Department of Fantastic Animals. Affairs.

   "The purpose of our establishment of the Ministry of Magic is to enforce international secrecy laws." Georgianna said to everyone, "The British Ministry of Magic also wants to contact us about the Quidditch World Cup. What about our Quidditch team?"

   Still no one answered.

   "Meeting in half an hour." Georgiana gritted her teeth, looked at the **** and said, "Also clean up this place. I remember giving you a new house."

   "There are no house elves here." Someone in the crowd said.

   "Next time you want to speak, give your name." Georgiana threatened. "You have a house-elf in each of your households. Who is the director of the logistics department?"

   "It's... it's me." A middle-aged man raised his hand.

  "Resolve this mess!" She was so angry that she said, "Next time I see this mess, I will exile you to Santo Domingo."

  She was expecting someone to ask "who gave you such power" and then teach the other a lesson worth remembering, but no one dared to mention it.

"Remember my words, the ministers of various departments will have a meeting in half an hour." After she finished speaking, she glanced at the top of her head. Scamander said that the ceiling of the French Ministry of Magic was glass with reliefs of magical animals. roof.

  Is he remembered wrong or history has changed?

  She didn't think about it, turned and left, and Carolan Lestrange followed her behind her with great majesty, looking like a peacock with only an open screen.
