Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1457 "Important Position"

  What is the concept of 19,000 tons of grain?

A Rouen shipping cargo ship with a carrying capacity of 200 tons can be filled with 100 such large ships. Based on 1 quintal of 100 kilograms, 19,000 tons is equivalent to 200,000 quintals, but Godoy promised to sell grain to France. one tenth.

  Cargo ships from Rouen to Paris can only be carried by small boats, and they can reach Paris in about eight days. These small boats can carry about 30 tons and need more than 600 ships. Rouen is near Normandy. There are ships of different sizes and forms, including single-masted and three-masted ships. Starting from Rouen to reach Paris along the Seine, the scene looks like a mess. In contrast, Nantes’ grain ships are of uniform specifications, each with a mast and a square canopy. They were orderly so that five or six ships lined up in a row, along the Loire River to Orleans. From the first to the last of these fleets, the sails shrunk one by one in order, and there will never be any tipping and arbitrary, looking like little ducks swimming with the mother duck.

  Inland water transportation is not only food, but also building materials, fuel, wine, and other supplies. In order to make way for these food ships, all the ships were given aside. The wharf is messy. After unloading the cargo from the ship, it has to be weighed. After the weighing is completed, the carriage waiting for loading can be loaded. This process has caused congestion and jams, and it seems particularly hectic.

Marseille is next to the Mediterranean Sea. Food shipped from southern Russia will be transported along the Rhone River to Orleans. However, according to the data left by the old dynasty, the traffic volume of the Seine River is much higher than that of the Rhone and Loire Rivers, that is to say. Rouen is more important than Nantes and Lyon.

  Napoleon’s tariff policy is very pleasing to the Rouen people. They work quickly, and with the exemption of tolls, they earn more. In addition to 19,000 tons of food, the Rouen people also brought 1,000 tons of other groceries. In short, they did not lose money in this transaction. When they disembarked, they all looked beaming and there was no panic caused by the famine.

  The Parisians who had been struggling for a winter finally saw the ship coming. Although there was still a situation of rushing to buy, there were no people standing by the crowd to instigate trouble.

The fallow land has been plowed since April. The land is not grown for wheat but potatoes. The canal is not frozen until May. The weather this year is still cold. The price of a quintal of wheat in Paris is 33 francs. Calculating 1 pound of wheat and 3 su, the bread may be about 4 and a half.

  Paris is only a small part of France. Even if Napoleon had enough money and did not have such a large capacity, he would not be able to transport food from other countries into France.

Assuming such a busy schedule once a month, it will continue until the winter of 1803, but at that time the river is already frozen, coupled with the flooding in summer, this kind of busyness may be reduced to two or even three trips a month. .

  When the food arrives, I need to find a place to store it. Paris is so crowded. Where can I find a place to store it?

  Such a good start, it depends on whether it can be maintained.

  After a short stay, Georgianna let the carriage go on. Alva is a former guard. He retired from the army last year and didn't want to leave Napoleon. He was lost in Paris for more than half a year before being introduced to Giorgio Anna as a driver by Phyllis.

He is familiar with the Tuileries Palace may be over his own home, he drove the carriage to take Georgian, along the staff in and out, transporting vegetables and other supplies in the entrance, Georgian quickly slipped in while no one noticed. In the palace.

  She was not reckless and beaming, and she planned to give him a "surprise." Maybe the first ruling is now "playing games" with a certain guest, such as the 15-year-old actress Miss Georgina.

  She found Pierre Benezé, the general manager of the Tuileries Palace, and asked him to take it as a briefing. Then she went back to the restaurant’s office and found that there was a British newspaper on the table.

The smell of food came next door. She was already familiar with the smell, but she was only responsible for making food before and never worried about money. She never thought that the tuition fees paid by the students would be enough to support such a generous one. Three meals a day.

  Perhaps it is not enough that there will be school managers like Lucius Malfoy. Normal people’s homes will not always prepare food.

  She has always lived in a sweet and dreamy world. Adam Smith wrote in "The Wealth of Nations" that human beings are proud to rule, and to be ashamed of surrendering to others. In many parts of Europe, farmers are regarded as inferior people, whose status is far lower than that of large merchants and large manufacturers.

  If permitted by law and the nature of the work is also permitted, between slaves and free men, agricultural growers will definitely choose slaves. What is the difference between a peasant and a slave who are tightly bound to the land? They are not free.

  Although urban residents are free, they do not have any protection, and they stop when they stop working. Gathering so many people in the city, although it can satisfy the vanity of the ruler, once a crisis occurs, these people are a potential threat.

Gabriel Ufral obtained the 2 million quintals of grains by speculative methods. The trade that the South China Sea Company was looking forward to was to send ships to Spanish South America for trade every year. Unfortunately, at the time, Spain was a country. The powerful country rejected the British request. In order to recover its losses, the South China Sea Company fabricated a lie, saying that the Spaniards agreed to the British request.

  Similarly, Liverpool’s Canal Company fabricated a lie in order to compete for the source of customers and goods. They actually said that taking the train would lead to a miscarriage.

  Georgiana does not believe that Britain will abandon South America and ask for the right to operate the railway instead. Since Queen Elizabeth, the franchise has existed in the British East India Company. 200 years ago, the franchise system has been fixed in the British government, but France has not, let alone opened a blank for Spain. The qualification for the charter is now, and Gabriel Ufral took advantage of this loophole to have this opportunity.

  The United Kingdom needed Spanish Piast silver coins, but no gold ship arrived in London. Georgiana vaguely guessed what the agreement between Napoleon and Gabriel Ufral was.

Unless the United Kingdom launches warships to grab them, these gold-carrying ships will not go to London. Financial institutions such as Hanseatic, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Paris and other financial institutions will receive Spanish silver coins. These countries will be firmly attached to Napoleon’s "Your Majesty". Just as Britain used gold to pay for the military expenses of the anti-French alliance.

  But Napoleon is not without flaws. The first is the 7500 debt. If Santo Domingo loses, everything will be the same as the two previous guests said. He will face financing difficulties. He has already robbed Italy and it is impossible to rob any more. Portugal has nothing to rob. He can only rob Spain if he wants to rob. How much does Spain have to rob?

  Waterloo made Nathan Rothschild because of a news, and it was also because of the news that Napoleon returned to France from Egypt.

  Ordinary people cannot receive news from Santo Domingo, five thousand miles away. Unless British newspapers are prohibited from flowing into France, the news cannot be blocked, but peace allows civilians of the two countries to move around each other, and sooner or later the French will know.

  Look, what a terrible tyrant the French people have chosen.

"Have you read "A Chronicle of the Battle of the River"?" Georgiana raised her head and found that she was the first ruling in a cavalry uniform. "Roman, remember, you should rule the nations with your authority. This is yours." Expertise, you should establish a peaceful order, be lenient to those who submit, and conquer arrogant people through war."

   "I'm not as knowledgeable as you." Georgiana said coldly, and folded the newspaper. "Someone is harassing me, can you help me beat him back?"

   "Who?" He said with a smile.

   "Your teacher, Julian Uvral, he said I am the immortal Anais."

   "You mean the Persian woman who has been thinking for almost her entire life, but is alone and claustrophobic?" Napoleon said calmly.

  Georgiana didn’t bother to say anything.

  A person with a different story has different opinions, and women tend to "think too much".

   "You came to me just to say this?" he asked again.

   "I think you may need support." Georgiana said, "Rana still disagrees with your withdrawal?"

   "I don't know." Bonaparte said blankly, "What about you?"

   "The British said that if you let you sell the right to operate the railway, the Trinidad Observer Army will provide assistance to retreat the wounded to Trinidad." Georgiana said, "I think this is a trap."

   Bonaparte walked in and closed the door.

  He sat down on the chair opposite her, with one arm resting on the back of the chair, and he didn't look noble.

"When I was in Egypt, the Black Death was the most vicious enemy threatening the army." Bonaparte said. "Even if the patient is finally recovered, he will still be negatively pessimistic. It has a very bad effect on morale. I admit those black people. Courage, but compared to Dusan Louvidul, yellow fever and malaria are the real threats."

  "What should I do?"

"I told you that I want to rest." He said tiredly. "When I was in Berbeis, I used to live in an Eastern military camp. Everyone in Sheikh had three tents. All of them seemed to be Asian-style magnificent. I admit that I was moved at the time, but I only had breakfast with them, and then I left. I set up a campsite in a palm grove and didn’t talk to them. Living together, the emergency military situation soon came. I left the oasis and went to the desert to rescue Kleber who was besieged."

  "Do you still plan to continue fighting?"

   "I understand that the soldiers want to rest, but this is our destiny." Bonaparte said calmly, "You asked me if it was a privilege to sleep in a tent that day. Do you remember how I answered you?"

   "Remember, because there are files that need to be kept in the tent."

"I hope people can be a little rational. When I saw you lying on the king’s bed and reading, I was thinking that the princess must be like you. I lay on the camp bed all night with my eyes open and listened to you breathing inside. The sound, without a trace of desire, was a feeling when I lay overnight in the Nazareth Monastery with me. Ghana is located in the northeast of Nazareth. We especially went to see the place where the water turned into wine, but there was no wine. When I arrived in Venice, I saw the pair of "The Wedding in Ghana". I kept looking for where the bride is. Maybe it was because I watched it for too long. People on the art committee thought I wanted the painting, so I took it away. Now, where did you find the new couple at the wedding?"

  Georgiana shook her head.

"They are in the lower left corner. According to the customs of Venice at the time, the middle position is reserved for the most distinguished guests. The bride and groom have to sit on the very edge. At that time, a black servant gave the changed wine to the groom." He looked at it. Georgian said, "What do you think this foreshadows? Fortuneteller?"

  She did not answer.

"There are a lot of beds in the monastery, some wounded soldiers are placed, and they are looked after by the monks. We found very good wines in the wine cellars there." Bonaparte said tiredly, "You have read the Persian Letters, how many An Armerian, intending to sell a young female slave from Circassian, she wears a red cloak. Even people who are hard-hearted and numb to the charm of women are moved by her shyness and dignity, I give her Putting on a gold ring and respecting her as a queen, I am willing to pay the Armenians, and hide her where no one can find, to enjoy this charming stunner alone."

   "I am not a Circassian, and I am not a slave girl."

   "I will rescue you from those slave traders." Bonaparte said with a smile, and then stood up "I don't believe in doctors, especially in England."

   "What about the American?"

   Bonaparte sniffed.

   "Tell me what are you going to do?"

   Bonaparte opened the door and left.

  Georgiana looked at this office.

  Perhaps only a miracle can solve this mystery.
