Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1572 Life and death sniper (two)

  In addition to the South China Sea bubble in Britain, the Mississippi River flood occurred in France around 1720.

  Sun King Louis XIV created many impressive achievements, but it also led to the emptiness of the French treasury and the high debt of the government, almost to the brink of collapse, which became the main inheritance of Louis XV.

Through political intervention, John Law established a private bank that could issue currency, and the banknotes he issued could be used to pay taxes, because John Law’s bank development was stable, but the price of gold and silver was often depreciated due to unwise government intervention. As a result, John Law Bank’s reputation flourished, monopolizing tobacco sales, and also monopolizing the power to recast gold and silver coins, and was eventually nationalized by the Royal Bank of Victoria in 1718.

  During this period, John Law obtained various trade concessions, and the Mississippi company he established owned the vast basin of the Mississippi River and the trade right of Louisiana on the west bank of the river.

  In the beginning, the royal government stipulated that the banknotes issued by the banks he operated must be exchanged for gold and silver coins at a fixed price, and the reserves of precious metals severely restricted the bank’s ability to expand currency and credit.

At this time, paper money can barely be called a substitute currency. When paper money is decoupled from precious metals, the currency that is not linked to any precious metal is credit currency. The reputation of the "Royal Bank" after its name change in 1719 increased the confidence of the people. John Law announced that the banknotes he issued could be exchanged for coins, and half a year later he announced that banknotes were no longer guaranteed to be exchanged for silver coins.

  At the same time, he announced a gold mining plan in Louisiana worth 100 million livres, demonstrating the brilliant prospects of the Mississippi company, issuing 200,000 shares at an issue price of 500 livres per share. The stocks sold out as soon as they went public. Both the rich and the villagers fantasized about obtaining endless wealth from Lowe's stock. The stock price rose and rose, soaring. The most fanatical record is that the stock price has risen from 500 livres within half a year. The price rose to 18,000 livres, and people from all over the world poured into the stock exchange, bustling from morning to night.

  Of course, there are no **** gold mines in Louisiana, but it produces oil. Joseph Bonaparte may be interested in this matter. Several of his men control the oil trade in France.

The Mississippi Company not only controls North America, but also trades in the East Indies, China, and many islands in the South Pacific. When Lowe’s is issuing shares in China, Dong Yidu is also issuing shares at a price of 1.59 livres per share. . In 1720, Prince Condé asked to buy Lowe's stock at a price set by him, but John Law refused. In an angry Prince Condé used three carriages to pull the banknotes he held to exchange coins, because at that time the banknotes had already been exchanged for coins. It was decoupled from silver coins, so all the princes pulled away were gold coins.

  Slightly smarter speculators know that stocks will not rise all the time, so they also learned that Prince Kongdai exchanged paper money for gold coins and shipped them to Britain, the Netherlands and other foreign countries. As a result, the domestic circulation of coins became extremely scarce, and the government even ordered anyone to ban anyone from owning coins over 500 livres. Offenders not only had to confiscate all the coins, but also be fined a large amount. It also prohibits anyone from purchasing gold and silver jewelry, utensils and precious gems.

  With the decline in investor confidence and the stock price of Mississippi Company plummeting, no one still believes the myth of great wealth in Louisiana.

But in order to re-establish Gong Zhong’s confidence in the Mississippi company, the government issued a mandatory conscription plan to distribute clothes and tools to all poor homeless people in Paris, passing through the streets of Paris day after day, and then sent to the port, waiting to be shipped to the Americas. , Pretending to go to work in Louisiana.

  Most of them did not board the ship, but scattered all over France. They returned to Paris in less than three weeks.

During this period, John Law continued to print money, and coins across the country were flowing to foreign countries such as the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Eventually, the French Council of State passed a resolution to depreciate banknotes by 50% and stop the business of coin exchange. Mississippi’s stock price plummeted. It fell to 2000 livres in September 1720 and 500 livres in September 1721. The former prosperous economy was completely shattered and replaced by a decline in people's livelihood and insufficient domestic currency.

  When the economy is in recession, appropriate use of quantitative easing and increasing money supply can stimulate economic development. However, the issuance of coins is not like paper money. It can be printed at will. It requires precious metals. If Georgiana spreads rumors and found a gold mine in the east of the Mississippi River, people with good memory may think of the Mississippi incident that year, and only the poor and crazy people would think. Go there to pan for gold.

But there is one thing that Georgiana thinks Napolioni can do, and that is to "exile" those smugglers who smuggled food during the famine period to Louisiana, and spread the news that there is gold on the east bank of the Mississippi River among these people. .

The Rothschild family is also engaged in the smuggling trade, and their French background is Napoleon’s sister and brother-in-law, Caroline and Murat, replaced by Georgiana herself. She will use the smuggling after buying gold coins with gold bars. Net transported the money out of Paris, and then handed it to Rothschild's other carriages, and asked them to pretend to be a normal transaction and transport it to Spain, and then hand it over to General Wellington, who has no money to pay for it. Soldiers, immediately let them go to Waterloo.

  This is a very easy operation, just like the secret of magic, it is very simple to put it bluntly. Many wealthy people are like this. They will transfer their funds abroad when they see bad domestic conditions. Even if the country is dead, they don't care. What's more, Nathan Rothschild was originally a Jew, and the Jewish kingdom was thousands of It was gone a year ago, and Kang Basilus, who was in charge of the housekeeping, thought it was Nathan Rothschild who was transferring assets, so he let him into the city.

According to Bonaparte, Dusan Luvidul has not given up his plan of independence. The foundation of American independence is that they have a vast territory, shipping, navy, and talents like DuPont, so they want to " "Growing up" is also very difficult. The national debt also has to be divided into several years. This can be delayed. As long as she saves Luvidul's life, Bonaparte will still have the opportunity to "repent". This is something she must arrange before she leaves.

  She raised her head and glanced at the moon outside the tower window. This trip to the north was full moon and Halloween, and there was still fog. I always felt that something bad would happen.

  After Napoleon was imprisoned, France was not divided by the great powers. Britain supported Louis XVIII on the throne, just as the British supported the "wicked man" Charles II during the Hundred Years' War, but they did not succeed and were turned around by Charles V.

She understood how others were recruited, but she didn't know how she was recruited. The coin that was used to build a wooden track in the Alps was transferred to and from each other through several banks, and finally reached Mason Rothschild. In his hands, he gave it to Moore, who used it to pay the Swiss mercenaries and let them engage in civil war in Switzerland.

  This is the result of Napoleon’s investigation in the Italian banking system. What he said was the head of the Italian Republic, but he didn’t know how he handled the issue of the Principality of Parma.

  About the dead people of the Grand Duke of Parma, it was almost impossible to write the word "murderer" on his forehead. He only annexed Piedmont in September, and the Grand Duke of Parma followed suit in October. It was not a premeditated believer.

  In the future, his dear little princess Maria Luisa will still be the Grand Duke of Parma. Austria has wanted to get involved in Italy for many years. The Principality of Parma is located in the middle of Italy and is a good place to control Italy.

  It is difficult to reunify Italy. She still remembers that she had participated in a gathering of organizers of the Venice Independence Movement. She felt that there were everyone in it, and it was a mob.

   "He loves you, please believe this."

She remembered what Bonaparte said to her before leaving the Saint-Denis Church. She couldn't tell why. Perhaps this was one of Napoleon’s magical powers, which made people feel confident, even for people like her. I also began to believe that what he said was true.

But this didn’t make her feel better. Some mistakes can’t be made once. Look at Josephine. Her reputation for infidelity has been with her all her life. The young man named Charles had a private meeting in Malmaison.

  The only witness is a fortune teller. Whoever takes the fortune teller seriously will give his destiny to the hands of the liar.

  She couldn't help but think of the boat-shaped seasoning plate made of bear paw flowers. Josephine's lilac crown was easy to understand. At first she didn't understand what it meant, but now she understood a little bit.

  The boat-shaped seasoning dish represents perhaps Paris. After solving the bread problem, the meat problem should be solved immediately. After all, the sauce must be poured on the meat to be delicious.

"Do you believe in fate?"

  She turned her head and found that Bonaparte was standing in the moonlight.

  He doesn't have the magic power of Severus standing there in the moonlight, perhaps because there are not three rashly adventurous, panicked children behind him.

   "Mountains and mountains do not meet, people always meet." She learned from them and said, "Our lives will meet. I believe it is the arrangement of fate."

   "Come here." He said to her, she was very obedient.

  "Put out your hand," he commanded.

  She raised her right hand again, and he took the bracelet with his hair in her hand.

  "Do you know what it represents." He stared into her eyes and said, "Will you allow me to wear that bracelet for you?"

  Georgiana looked at it and thought it looked like a chain on a slave's hand.

  She didn't speak, she had to watch him slowly put it on her hand in silence.

   "I wanted to do that in the church." He whispered, "but it's too broken and it's still a cemetery."

   "It's okay." She retracted her hand "I don't mind."

  "Do you have anything to tell me?" he asked again.

   "Nothing." She smiled and shook her head.

   "Then what were you thinking just now?"

   "I'm thinking about how to choose." She was a little sad and said, "My choice determines my happiness."

   "There are still many people's happiness and destiny." Bonaparte smiled lightly and said, "If you go with him, it will be a lot easier."

  She did not speak.

   "You understand my suffering, but you don't want to bear it with me." He said indifferently, "Are you the kind of person who only speaks nice things?"

   "I am not." She said immediately.

  "In personal happiness and public happiness, you must make a choice. This is what you should consider." He calmly said, "Don't waste your talent."

   "What talent can I have?"

   "I want to close the Society of Respect and Fraternity. Do you know why?" he asked.

  She thought for a while, and said, "The church can't be divided anymore."

   "Look, others will only complain to me." He was tired and said, "I'm tired."

   "Maybe it's because I thought of a wedding." She pretended to say with ease, "You finally got the church to agree that Protestants and Catholics are married."

  He put the big head on her shoulder.

   "Do you want to lie down for a while?"

  He nodded.

  So Georgiana took him by the hand and walked to the sofa, letting him lie in her arms.

   "Sing me a song." He said while lying down.

  Georgiana really sang to him.

  He is very quiet to listen, like an obedient child.

   "Fournier is talking drunk." Bonaparte said, "I don't want him to do stupid things."

  "You may feel crazy, but there are too many unlucky people in this world. If something bad happens, no matter how small the probability of it happening, it will always happen." Georgiana said.

  "Why do you think I think this sentence is crazy?" He asked, strangely.

   "Because people always feel that they will make smart choices." Georgiana said.

  He seemed to think she was ridiculous, so he turned his head and ignored her.

  Georgina continued to sing, but her thoughts drifted away.

  She heard that 21st century snipers can kill targets one kilometer away. Although there are few such snipers, there are fewer wizards that can sense killers one kilometer away.

  If the identity of the wizard is exposed, those Muggle snipers can also kill the most powerful wizard in the eyes of ordinary people.

  So Grindelwald is ambitious and the dream of using magic to rule the world is just a dream. Albus is right to stop him, and the magic world cannot be exposed. Of course, what Keridi Bubbaji said about sharing the knowledge of wizards with Muggles is also wrong. Look, it's just gunpowder. What Muggles did when they got it.

  She still needs to continue to work hard to expand the influence of the international secrecy law, although she does not know what is the use of working in her dreams.

  　 October 29, 1802 is the night of the full moon, I checked, the above
