Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1473 "Dear Wife"

When Georgiana was traveling in Venice, she visited Torcello Island. There is an important attraction on the island, the throne of the Huns. Legend has it that when Attila led the Huns to conquer Europe in the fifth century, he was on that stone. Sit on the throne.

  But in the fifth century, Venice was still a fishing village. Attila did not need to lead his army to attack there. On the contrary, Paris was really besieged by Attila.

  At that time, the city was not called Paris, but the Rome of Gaul. Attila did not enter the city. At that time, Rome in Gaul had a very strong wall, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. So he destroyed the path to Gaul Rome, intending to cut off the food supply in the city so that the city would not attack. Self-breaking.

  This siege lasted for ten years. Starting in 476, Hilderik I said that his heavily protected barracks were stationed on the right bank of the Seine, and a tower was built to monitor every movement in the city. The citizens of Paris are used to this threat from outside the city, and live in panic and hunger of insecurity every day.

This situation made Genaviev deeply miserable. At that time, the legendary story of this miraculous saint circulated in Paris. According to legend, as long as she put the holy water after her reduction under her eyes, the blind mother could see the light again. , Giving health to the sick person can also revive a boy who has unfortunately fallen into the well.

  Genevieve belongs to the wealthy class in Paris, but for her money is something outside of her body. At that time, there was no monastery open to women. The young girl had to wear a veil that symbolized purity and lived like an ordinary person, and then meditated and prayed with them.

When all the citizens were surrounded by fear, only Genaviev kept a sober mind. She asked all the female citizens of Paris to pray with her and tell her the story of Esther, which is a Persian in the Bible. Women used prayers and fasts to save all Jews who were about to suffer disaster.

The men sneered and watched her behavior. They thought it was more realistic to leave the city. Genaviev angered them when arguing with them. They planned to throw her into a well. At this time, the Paris agent The bishop came to the city, and he rescued Genaviev from the excited people.

The place where the acting bishop and the angry people of Paris met was later built a chapel, and then a cathedral, Saint-Germain-Auxerre, which is located in the first arrondissement of Paris, right in the Louvre. On the opposite side, this later became a burial place for the nobles of the Merovingian Dynasty.

Under the adjustment of the acting bishop, the calm Paris citizens began to think about countermeasures. A team of resistance was quickly established. So when the whole city was dying of hunger, the deaconess decided to take this team out of the city. Go for help.

All the roads were destroyed and impassable, and Renavyev and her team had to cross the river, but the river was also blocked, so Renavyev used an ax to dig out the rancid smell. , The sailors on the ship were stunned. They thought that the saint had defeated the rotten monster on her body.

After arriving in the Champagne area, Genevieve painted a cross on the wife of the local official, which cured her for many years of illness. With her help, Genevieve obtained a lot of food, and she carried a full boat. The team returned to Paris.

  But the voyage was not peaceful. The saint prayed and guided the temporary crew members to sing carols together while rowing, and finally arrived in Paris safely.

  Returning to the city, Genaviev divided the wheat evenly among everyone as needed, and for those poor people who did not have a stove or firewood, she would bake the bread and give it to them.

  Later, Attila, who was unable to attack for a long time, turned to attack Orleans. It is believed that it was not the king’s army but the saint’s piety that drove the barbarians away. Napoleon claimed to be the Attila of Venice. At that time, Giorgioanna was still making fun of the arrogant little man. Now that the saint is "manifestation", she can't help being serious.

  Saint Genaviev is the patron saint of Paris, especially the guardian of health and food. After her death in 502, she was buried in the church of Saint Peter and Paul. The founding king of Frank Clovis and his wife were buried here. She was used to praying in this church during her lifetime. The path she walked on became the Saint-Genevieve Mountain Road, and the mountain was also named Saint-Geneviève. Yefu Mountain is named.

  The plague of a "scorching disease" prevailed in Paris in the 12th century. The plague ceased after the relics of Saint-Geneviève were publicly paraded.

The Saint-Genevieve Academy was established in 1636. Its main function is to care for patients and educate young girls. In the 18th century, Louis XV was seriously ill. During his illness, he prayed to the patron saint of Paris and wished if he could survive. , Must build a more magnificent church to worship her. Later, a miracle happened. Louis XV came alive. After long-term preparations, he personally laid the foundation on the Saint-Genevieve hill in 1764. The new cathedral was completed in 1790, but the French Revolution broke out a year later. Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were beheaded, priests were killed and churches were destroyed everywhere. After the bones of Saint Genaviève were burned, the ashes were thrown into the Seine.

Fortunately, the cathedral was not destroyed by fanatical crowds. European churches originally had a basement for saints to be buried. This part is readily available. After the Constituent Assembly, the Parliament decided to change it from a church to an ancestral hall for the ashes of national celebrities. In the Pantheon, the first residents were Mirabeau and Voltaire.

Georgian doesn’t believe that drawing a cross can cure the disease, just as scientists and doctors never believe that wizards can cure the disease with a "small stick", or just like Napoleon, they don’t believe that doctors can cure everything. He is more convinced that clean and hygienic habits can prevent the epidemic.

  He has seen the Black Death and knows that it destroys people's spirits. Even if he is cured, people will become negative and pessimistic.

  Many priests in the Middle Ages were brave. They dared to take care of the black death patients who were not willing to contact their relatives. However, the urban hygiene and personal hygiene were terrible. The Roman emperor liked to demolish and build. During Nero's rule, there was a fire in Rome. Many people believed that the fire was set by Nero because he wanted to expand the palace. However, there were Roman residents everywhere outside the capital palace, so it was almost difficult to start construction.

  If Napoleon knew that he had done a lot of public works, provided jobs for the people, and introduced clean water to the water conservancy project in Paris, he would be criticized as Nero. I don’t know how he would feel.

  After the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Glass Pyramid were repaired, some people liked it, and some people had bad reviews. Georgiana did not like the Eiffel Tower.

Some people like the diversion of the Roman aqueduct, and some people think it destroys the architectural style of Paris. That line, buried underground, the underground passages of Paris are intricate, and it is said that there are five-foot-long centipedes, and they are full of feces and gas. Is anyone going to explore? No, so this project stops here.

The rich can drink mineral water and soda water, and the poor drink the polluted Seine water. Sooner or later, malaria or other plagues will break out. Death will not divide the rich and the poor. The people who opposed the project ran away. Who is the last to blame? To bear?

Major repairs and major constructions will definitely involve demolition and compensation. Napoleon encountered it in Cairo. The water from the Saint-Martin Canal was brought to the Bargan Canal and sent to thousands of households. It is also possible to set up a water company. The laying of pipelines also requires digging the surface. Paris The streets are intricate and congested in some places, and the problem of demolition and relocation is also involved. She wants to see how the opposition can solve it.

  Even if you want to oppose, you must come up with an exact and feasible plan, rather than taking the opponent down as the goal.

Georgiana was indeed poisoned. Fouché found the leaves of foxglove in the teapot. This plant is very common in flower beds. It is a kind of medicine and also a kind of poison. It depends on the dosage of the medicine. A little more can slow down the heart rate and cause sudden death.

  Napoleon didn't go to her very often, and he didn't drink black tea, he still drank coffee, so this murder was most likely against her.

  What did she do so that others wanted her life?

  It’s strange that Georgiana doesn’t believe that Josephine did it, although she has absolutely plenty of motivation and opportunities.

Josephine would personally or send her own female companion to separate the women around the "little captain". What she really moved was the one who stole the limelight of her "first lady" on formal diplomatic occasions. The Italian actress of opera, and what she thought of was an unrealistic way of witchcraft.

  Her greenhouse and nursery will not have garden plants as common as foxgloves. They usually cherish the flowers and plants. Provoking the "harem" battle can really distract Napoleon, but Georgiana intends to deal with it in a low-key manner.

  The monster mentality that maintains a sense of reason at the critical moment has appeared again. The peace between England and France is extremely fragile. The peace agreement is just a piece of paper, which can be torn at any time or covered with black veil.

   Although Barbados is Portuguese, meaning fig trees are everywhere, it actually belongs to the United Kingdom and has been around since 1625.

  So her British fellows made a joke to her, or made a mistake, and said that the island belongs to Portugal. The Portuguese regent is willing to lend the land to the French, provided that Lisbon becomes a free port?

Henry VIII declared in the "Appeal Act" that England is an empire and possesses all the dignity and wealth of the imperial throne. Parliament emphasizes the independence of kingship and religious power in the United Kingdom, and it is only the independent sovereignty of "the United Kingdom". , Instead of claiming power over land outside of England, the constitutional relationship between the mainland and the territory constitutes the core constitutional issue of the British Empire.

  The colony is not a part of the kingdom, but it has been constitutionally subject to the highest authority of the kingdom since its establishment, and is attached to the territorial system. The colony, especially the Massachusetts Bay area, has always been the fief of the British Empire.

  If the United Kingdom seeks compensation from the United States, it will also claim compensation in the name of the owner of the fief, not in the name of the parliament. The situation is similar to Ceylon, which is the "royal fief" of the Duke of Orange.

  In 1650, Parliament passed a bill prohibiting trade with Barbados, Virginia and other plantations.

  Under the premise of agreeing to abide by the British Constitution, there is still a difference between "royal territories" and compliance with various laws, orders and regulations enacted and promulgated by Parliament, not to mention that Santo Domingo has established a constitution.

Being in power for life is almost self-proclaimed king. There are many privileged cities and boroughs in the United Kingdom, and they all have the right to enact subsidiary legislation to restrict themselves. For example, in the case of determining international secrecy laws, the United States Ministry of Magic has issued laws that do not allow maji Marrying a wizard is an American law and cannot restrict the United Kingdom. Minerva can marry her Muggle boyfriend Doug like her mother, but she applied the American law to herself, which led to her First love ended in failure.

  It is an unwritten habit to prevent British Muggles and wizards from marrying.

Toussaint Luqueville wanted to separate Santo Domingo and possibly hereditary rule. He just happened to encounter Bonaparte who wanted to restore slavery to help him. Napoleon continued to insist on slavery. Other colonies will also become independent one after another. When this overseas colony is reclaimed, it is the same as it is not. Lu Xi'an will be so fiercely opposed to him.

The regent of Portugal obeys the authority of the United Kingdom. Portugal’s self-government is clearly written by Amiens and Yorie. Portugal has its own laws governing itself. However, the free port and trade laws must follow the laws of other countries. In view of the fact that the United Kingdom is now in The strength of trade is very likely to be in accordance with British law, so is Lisbon the capital of an independent country or a municipality under the British subordinate?

  It’s normal to not understand. Georgiana was only able to study this comfortably in bed when she was recuperating, not to mention the soldiers who had been completely deprived of rationality by the cruel war.

  An island named in Portuguese does not mean that its actual ruling power belongs to Portugal. This is the difference between being named or not. The "iron ore road" from Brazil to Lisbon will be very profitable. Maybe Spain’s silver ships are not as valuable. Spain’s Piast silver coins are still mainly shipped to Spain. Mexico’s stocks are gone if they are gone. If you want silver, you need to find mineral veins.

  So how happy is the marriage between the King of Portugal and the Princess of Spain?

  Spain princesses are very powerful, because they have a strong mother and overthrow their useless husband. Their own power is nothing new in Europe, not to mention Spain has been trying to annex Portugal.

  She was thinking about it, and later found out that Bonaparte was coming to this vineyard grower’s villa.

  He didn't take off his boots, and lay directly beside her.

  "Do you know how many cups of coffee we consume in a day?" He lazily said, "With 155 cups a day, assuming a cup of coffee is 20 sou, we spend 56575 francs on coffee every year."

  She is stroking his hair. He may have been very tired recently, and he is obviously thinner.

   "I cancelled the coffee." He said coldly, "I can save 35,000 francs a year."

  "Do you want to impose tariffs on steel." Georgiana asked, "This will increase income."

   "I am an idiot who is fascinated by women." Bonaparte smiled sarcastically. "I will not start to impose tariffs on steel until their stock of food is sold out. I hope that there will be a good harvest in Britain next year."

  Georgiana just remembered that to make steel in Britain, it also needs a lot of labor, and it also needs a lot of wood and coal.

  "British people don't need to eat bread." Georgiana reminded him.

   "Then what to eat? Pray for Mana from God?"

  Georgiana was speechless to answer.

  After a while, he rolled over and pressed onto her.

   "I'm still sick." She reminded.

   "I need to rest." He whispered, then bowed his head and kissed her.
