Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1502 "Strait Dilemma"

  Academicians of the French Academy are life-long, and only when a member passes away and leaves a vacancy can be filled by voting by all members.

   being selected as an academician means that he has entered the palace of French culture and history, becoming an "immortal", with his name engraved on the wall of the college.

  French academicians also need sabers. This kind of sword is called the "Sword of the Immortal." It is difficult for Georgiana to decide whether the sabre encrusted with the Regent’s diamonds is good-looking or the ceremonial sword of the Immortal's sword is good-looking.

It was Laplace who invited Giorgioanna to the audience. He took Giorgioanna to the French Institute after the debate at the Humanities Institute. He recently wrote the book "Cosmic Mechanics". He hoped that Napoleon could read it and write an inscription at the beginning of the volume. .

  Georgiana knew that artillery must learn mechanics, but she was not sure whether Napoleon could understand "Cosmic Mechanics." Laplace laughed and said that the talent of being the first ruler is absolutely fine, so she can hardly determine whether Napoleon is as smart as a monster, or whether he was possessed by something, anyway, it is very difficult for her to read the book. .

Bonaparte came again that night. He read the book with her. He flipped through it so fast that Georgiana wondered if he really read it. After seeing half of it, he turned to test how much she understood. She slapped him on the forehead in anger.

The Muggle’s body is inferior to the wizard in many aspects, such as longevity and some physical functions. After ten years of battle and the two crossings of the Alps, Napoleon’s body is definitely not as good as the person who has been living a stable life. The conditioning of the body is now this three. Part of daily life for teenagers.

  The hot weather can make people too lazy to move, physically tired, and wilted. Montesquieu believes that only a whip can make people perform their hard duties.

   Find an older woman and he can be as willful as a child. After relaxing, he lay in her arms, drinking red wine and chatting with her in the cool breeze on the tower.

  After months of "free trade", the United Kingdom made representations, demanding that France open its market and no longer prohibit the flow of British goods into France.

Sharptal and the big industrialists supported the London proposal, but Kokbel believes that the United Kingdom imports as much goods from France as France imports as much goods from the United Kingdom. Sharptal argues that in this case, a concession will be issued. The UK has not posted it yet.

  Spain will ally with Britain for a while, and France for a while. In the past, only the United Kingdom had a franchise. Napoleon opened a few, and Gabriel Uvrard arbitrarily opened the franchise. No one dared to act rashly until the problem was resolved through diplomatic means. Portugal did not pay so much attention to the interests of Porto wine after the Regent had the free port of Lisbon and iron ore trading.

  Is Freeport a good thing? Many people will choose that Marseille and Genoa are famous free ports.

When William Petty thought that Freeport was a good place for tax evasion, for example, he had a barrel of wine, he transported the wine to Freeport, sold it secretly, then filled the barrel with sewage and then loaded it on the ship, and waited for the ship to sail in. The sea dumped the sewage, and the liquor tax escaped.

  It can be seen that William Petty is a political economist who differs greatly from Adam Smith.

In addition to tariffs, the free port also has accommodation costs for seafarers and passengers, warehouse rental fees, porters and coachmen’s wages, etc. Even if foreign wine merchants evade tax, the regent can still make up for the loss by collecting domestic consumption taxes. The problem is Who will tell him?

   This is what annoys Napoleon the most. It is clear that Britain has refused to provide military assistance, and Portugal's heart is still toward Britain.

If you ask a resident living on this blue planet whether Bordeaux wine is good or Porto wine is good, as long as you are not a drunkard, you usually choose Bordeaux. Even if it is Porto, it is not possible to drink Bordeaux in the UK. replacement of.

Although Copenhagen in Denmark is also a free port, but its geographical location is different from Lisbon. Lisbon does not have the throat of the Øresund Strait. If the ship does not go to Lisbon, no one cares about the hotel and warehouse in the regent’s dream. Will lose money because of excessive investment.

Portugal has become a passive party. How to get the trade route to Lisbon depends on how the Regent talks. Brazil's timber and iron ore are needed by Britain and France. Those cargo ships serving Britain and France must stop in Lisbon, whether it is Brazil. Or Lisbon is the territory of Portugal, and then Portugal issues an export license, so that the Lisbon Free Port can create profits for him.

  Unable to think of storms when the wind is sunny, this is a common defect of human beings. Once the bad weather comes, they will only think of running away instead of protecting themselves. The Portuguese Regent was such a person in the eyes of Napoleon.

Like US President Jefferson, he has a feeling of contempt for hereditary kings. They are lucky in that they can fail, and failure will not affect their rule. Napoleon cannot. The president and prime minister of the 20th century often took the blame and resigned, and Bonaparte could not accept it. To fail himself, or to say that he does not give up lightly, this is his strength as well as his weakness.

  Normal people have been rejected by Georgiana so many times and have long since retreated. Are there still few women in this world?

  He will try his best to conquer a fortress, and if given a chance, he will seize it. Georgian only invited him to come to the show socially, and they returned to the same way as before, as if what he had said before was the last time he saw her was a joke.

  Such a rebellious person, it is no wonder that London does not believe that he has a long-term plan to maintain peace. Only Fox still firmly believes that Bonaparte will keep his promise. He plans to visit France next month and participate in the second industrial exhibition by the way.

  The Stuart dynasty is like the French Bourbon dynasty, but they have lost their rule longer than Bourbon. Many people, even the British, have forgotten them.

However, the Stuart dynasty still had the right to inherit the British. Fox hoped that Napoleon would open the French library to allow him to access relevant materials of the Stuart dynasty. Bonaparte intends to give this task to Georgian and Ribo. To cooperate with Fox to find all the information he wants.

  Georgina’s feelings for the Hanover royal family are complicated. Without the Hanover royal family, Napoleon might not be able to go to Elba as a prisoner after the war.

   But France won, will the "future" really be better than the one she is in?

She looked at his blue eyes, and remembered the middle-aged man in her dream who was crying alone in the humble house. Bonaparte at that time was a lot fatter now. She couldn't see the slenderness of his youth and the space between his eyebrows. It's all dictatorial coldness, and I can't see the charming smile that makes people move.

   "What are you thinking about?" he asked in quirky French.

   "I don't want you to be like that." She said in pain.

   "What?" He raised his eyebrows and asked

   "One Thousand and One Nights still has an ocean to step on." She said bitterly, "Don't lose your romantic imagination. There are only conspiracies and calculations in your head, Leon."

  "As long as you stay with me." He grabbed her hand and said, "If a man has no imagination, he is just a beast."

  "How about a story I tell you?" Georgian said softly, "It's a story about a boy named Pai and his Bengal tiger drifting on the sea."

   "I don't want to listen." He refused, "Swear to me, you won't leave."

   "Do you want me to be like those priests?"

   "Some people swear that I don't believe a word. People like you swear that I do."

   "But I broke my oath."

  He did not speak.

   "What are you thinking?" she asked.

   "You broke your oath because of me?" he asked.

  She was lost in thought.

  But her mind was blank, as if she had lost the ability to think.

   "Don't think about it." He said, "Kiss me, sister Dina Sade."

  She obediently did.

  The kiss still smelled of wine, with a hint of sourness, but it had a strange smell after being heated by body temperature. She couldn't help tasting it carefully, and the kiss deepened.

  The night is still long, maybe the ministers can go home early today instead of having a meeting at the Tuileries in the early morning.

  A monarch is not so diligent, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
