Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 1450

  Albus once said to Pomona that when various interests conflict, the way to resolve these conflicts of interest is to rank these interests. Either sacrificing one benefit to satisfy another benefit, or reaching a balance or compromise between mutually opposing benefits, in order to obtain "greater benefits."

When the British pure-blood aristocrats were in power, in order to protect the interests of more children, she had to turn a blind eye to the actions of Caro brothers and sisters in school. When the pure-blood aristocrats were declining and the werewolves began to act unscrupulously, she chose to stand. To the pure-blooded nobles who can kill werewolves.

  "Balance" is like walking a tightrope, and you will fall off the rope if you are not careful. Beginners are often not far from the ground, but the higher you stand, the harder you fall. Originally Napoleon hoped that a relief method could be used to solve the problem of grain prices. Sharptal disapproved from the beginning, but now he gave up. It has become a heart-warming but superficial effort that cannot solve any problems.

  The new constitution stipulates that the 600 who pay the most taxes can form a voter group. District and provincial government officials are generated from the voter group. This practice is a disguised donation of officials. No one stopped him, and Georgian did not condemn him. Now the French treasury is short of money, and Barbe is incompetent. Selling Louisiana is indeed a way.

   Bonaparte was about to compromise, Santo Domingo could not occupy it, and his dream of founding a nation in North America was about to be broken. Georgiana suggested that he wait, maybe there are other opportunities, and then she returned to the Tuileries.

She is in charge of the restaurant in the Tuileries Palace. Bonaparte asked her to find a way to save money in this area. After the Easter Mass, all participants will eat in the restaurant, and there are also people from afar. With regard to accommodation, Josephine’s accounts are always muddled, and she will be responsible for it together with Dylock.

  Bread is so expensive, why do we have to eat bread? If it is just to satisfy the appetite, there are many dishes that can be substituted.

  When she returned to the Louvre suite, she met a representative of the Italian Republic.

  He did not come to congratulate, but to protest the high tariff barriers Napoleon set for the Italian Republic. Since last year, Mr. Martin, the shareholder of Bonafor, was talking about the abolition of the tax on German raw silk. This is not only the tax on raw silk, but also on other goods from Piedmont to the Italian Republic.

  He always bullies Italy so, sooner or later the Italian will follow others, so she invited the angry Italian to her office next to the restaurant.

This office was designed by Fontaine for her. This time it was not like a roadside cafe or an Indian brothel at St. Luke’s Palace. It looked like a fortune-teller’s room. She regretted it the first time she saw it. A crystal ball was missing, and then the lamp made in Venice was delivered, and she realized that she was wrong. The crystal ball was hanging in the sky.

  The representative saw the typewriter on her desk at a glance.

  This typewriter was invented by the British, but it’s not very easy to use. The 26 letters are arranged in order, and there are diacritics in French, which she has to add by hand each time.

  The representative didn't say a few words, so he had to leave happily, as if he had discovered a huge business opportunity.

  After he interrupted like this, Georgiana remembered that Piedmont is rich in rice, paella, Hungarian beef rice, Arabian mutton pilaf, which one is not as delicious as white bread?

  The key is that the price of rice is relatively cheap, and she wants to make this restaurant "international".

  Eating roast chicken for Easter is a tradition in the United States. Eating roast chicken also means to show good to the United States, because Bonaparte has already planned to lift the US sanctions.

  Tobacco prices make Britain monopolize it is not conducive to France, not to mention that he also needs American grain imports, but besides guns and stars and stripes, what else can remind people of the United States?

The Statue of Liberty was made in France. The cowboy was after the Westward Movement began. Unless she planned to put cotton, green dollars, Indian feather headdresses, or put the statue of Washington in the dining room, otherwise she lacked imagination. I can't think of anything else that can represent the United States.

  There must be easter eggs for Easter. Hubert Lebo can prepare some. This time he can create as he pleases.

  She was thinking about the Easter banquet. An old man with white beard and hair in a robe looked at the door with a lens tied with a gold chain, and then glanced at Georgiana.

  "Are you Ms. Sèvres?"

   "I am, who are you?"

"I'm the Minister of Religion, Portalis, what do you mean by the letter of the first ruling?" The famous priest Jean-Etienne Portalis walked in slowly and put a copy of it. The paper was handed to Georgiana.

She looked at the letter paper, it was not Napoleon’s notes, but he signed it, and he asked Portalis to give each archbishop and bishop who performed the inauguration a cross, pastoral emblem, and religious crown. These utensils must be bought. Okay, but you have to buy it at the cheapest price.

  "Didn't the letter make it very clear?" Georgiana asked back.

   "I only heard that these holy relics are expensive, and I haven't bought cheap ones." Portalis seemed to be in some confusion. "What do you mean?"

  Georgiana took a look at the age of Portalis, thought for a while and said, "These things are for Easter?"

"Yes it is."

"There is a passage in Luke’s Gospel. **** looked up and saw the rich man throw a full money bag into the treasury, and saw a poor widow throw two silver coins, and said to the disciples,'I tell you the truth, this poor widow They have invested more than everyone else, because everyone has their own surplus, and they put it out in donations, but this widow is lacking in her own, and has invested everything in her.' We are going to panic this year, and we have to pay back. We can only save money to do the sacrament of the Korean debt, but our heart is sincere. Have you heard of the Church of Our Lady of Health in Venice?"

"heard about it."

“Venice’s finances were also very tight at the time, but in order to thank Our Lady for saving the city from the Black Death, they still built a church specifically for her as promised. The Venetian’s request was'that is, don’t spend too much money. , It can give people a good impression', it's the same as the requirements in this letter."

   Portalis suddenly realized.

  "I am also reducing expenses here. In the future, the bread served in the restaurant will be reduced, but I will replace it with macaroni and rice. The key to sacrament is the heart, not the form. I think the first ruler means this."

   "Thank you for helping me a lot." Portalis said happily, just about to turn around and leave.

  "What else do you have?" Georgiana asked politely.

   "Yesterday the first ruling promulgated the "Organization Clause" of the Agreement on State-Religion. I think you'd better take a look." Portalis whispered at the door, and then completely turned away.

   "Scrooge." After Portalis had left, Georgianna said to the door of no one.

  What she said to Portalis just now was beautified, and Napoleon Bonaparte just couldn’t bear to spend too much money on “cutscenes”.

  The money for the dredging of the Bruges Canal has not yet arrived. He intends to let people who are willing to contribute funds to name the port with his own name, but no one has been "deceived" yet.

  At this time, she took out Adam Smith’s "The Wealth of Nations" again, and turned to the page on public works and public facilities that facilitate society.

Roads, bridges, and canals must be built and maintained for commercial purposes. They must not be built in a desolate place where no one can pass by just to enhance the view of nearby palaces from the windows. Many canal tolls or sluice taxes in Europe are personal In order to maintain this interest, these people are doing their best to maintain this canal. If it is not cleaned up, navigation will become impossible and their profits will disappear. If the toll tax of the canal is levied on those committee members who do not do their own thing, they will certainly not pay as much attention to the maintenance of the toll tax as individuals.

However, the toll tax for maintaining roads cannot be given to individuals casually, because the canals will become unusable if they are not repaired, while the roads will not. Even if the roads are not repaired, the traffic will not be affected. The tolls will be collected by individuals, so this category The toll tax of the project is the responsibility of the committee or the custodian.

  Gaston Martin made no secret of his greed for Seny Mountain Road. He is still helping Georgiana pay 100 Mamluks for military expenses, so he can’t give him no benefit at all.

Louis XIV built the Palace of Versailles to build the king’s stage and altar, so it is extremely luxurious and magnificent. Now it is filled with disabled soldiers. It will cost a lot of money to maintain it, and it will not bring any profit. Let it rot.

Road construction is an extremely heavy work. In the past, farmers served 12 to 30 days a year in road construction. The migrant workers provided labor, and the servants were responsible for carrying livestock. The labor intensity on both sides was different, which caused great differences. Fairness, the two parties often dispute over this, leading to delays in entrusting.

  The labor drawn from the villages was unskilled, and the work was unskilled. Louis XVI was sympathetic to the public and refused to let them repair, and they rioted again.

Before Turgo abolished the military service system in February 1776 and after the resumption of the military service in August 1776, several patrol officers used taxation instead of impermanent service in order to hire professional workers. In order to build the roads in the three laws, The cost of requisitioning migrant workers and vehicles can reach 624,000 livres, but if you replace it with a tax of 240,000 along the way and hire professional labor, you can build a highway of 6 miles.

  100,000 laborers and 70,000 horses, it would cost 1.93 million livres in 12 days, and 30 million francs would be gone in half a year if used in this way.

In other words, there may be additional fees for the construction of the Saint-Martin Canal. These experienced workers will repair other canals much faster than the inexperienced migrant workers. She has to find ways to collect taxes and then pay for work. , Otherwise these experienced workers will be dispersed if the construction period is delayed.

  When she was upset, the sound of playing tennis rang out the window again.

  She glanced at the book and just saw the word “Taiwan from the window”, so she got up and walked to the window and looked at the tennis court.

  There is the place where the tennis court declaration was promulgated.

  If someone plays ball, someone gambles. Regardless of whether Napoleon imposed a ban or not, instead of letting them gamble illegally, it is better to let them gamble legally.

   Bonaparte set off for the second time from Dijon to Italy. In order to raise money, the banker suggested that he use lottery tickets to collect donations, but this time the lottery center cannot be placed in the Church of Notre Dame. And she has to give face to the church and can't be too grandiose.

  Gambling is not a good habit, and greed is the original sin. If persuasion and education are useful, what is the use of law?

  People are driven to desperation, they will take risks.

She looked at the scenery outside the window and imagined that Captain Bonaparte 10 years ago, like those onlookers, was watching the excitement at the Tuileries Palace. Later, when he saw the tragedy of the Swiss mercenaries, he ran to a nearby tavern in fright. in.

How could a small person like this become the first ruler in France and replace the king as the master of the Tuileries?

  But she also remembered that he was different from other guests in the pub. Even in casual clothes, he was different from ordinary people.

  That Corsican dwarf has such a devilish charm that makes many men and women desperate for him, even sacrificing their lives to protect him.

  Mountains do not meet mountains, people always meet each other.

  She really wanted to know whether God arranged for her to know this person whether she was testing her or doing an experiment.

  She left the window and returned to the table to continue working.

  Although she may have become a bad "vampire" in the eyes of civilians.
