Chapter 1946 Horn of Plenty (Part 2)

The New Year in the French Republic begins in the month of Portugal, when the grapes are ripe.

People expect a good harvest more than the Julian calendar. Before the invention of the Julian calendar, the Romans used a monthly calendar. In such a calendar system, there are 355 days per year and 377 days in leap years. On average, there are 366 days and a quarter each year. sky.

Originally, this calendar was designed to fit the laws of the sun, but because the addition of a leap month was determined by the Roman priests themselves, there would be a long time when wars or other religious activities were abandoned, and a year could not be declared a leap year. In this way, the calendar will greatly deviate from the law of the sun. At the same time, due to the underdeveloped news at the time, residents living far away from the city-states sometimes did not even understand the leap year announcements issued by priests, which often caused many people to be ignorant of the date.

This situation became quite serious when Caesar was in power, so Caesar decided to reform the calendar to integrate the calendar with the laws of the sun, and not be affected by war, religion, or other human factors.

November 1st is still late autumn, although it feels like it is already in the middle of winter, it seems that the underworld should be like this.

Napoleoni accidentally knew the **** Diss, and later he mentioned the Chronicles of Gaul and Caesar, and she understood.

Halloween, it should have been so messy and crazy, so people have to set up a fire, find a little light in the dark, and use it to dispel the chaos and horror brought by the darkness. It is precisely because of this that when she heard the singing of the choir in the church, she did not feel disgusted.

Rouen’s library is right next to the art gallery. To be precise, it’s close to the art gallery. There is a square in front of the library. There are two almost symmetrical churches on both sides of the square. The singing of the choir is transmitted from the church in the north. When they came out, the church to the south was empty, there was no one, and it looked like it was abandoned.

She didn’t stay much longer. To talk about the historical record of the "Dark Middle Ages", what place is there more than the church?

Compared with the French National Library, the Rouen Library is much smaller, and its level of exquisiteness is not as good as the San Marco Library in Venice. Giorgioanna once moved the idea of visiting the library of the University of Rouen.

However, universities generally don’t keep such things as county histories. Brittany is the main place where Viking pirates and the Hundred Years’ War between Britain and France took place. She doesn’t believe that there are no dark wizards or magical animals taking advantage of the chaos.

"Aren't you going back and dressing up?" Napolioni said with angrily.

"what?"

He ignored her.

Georgina looked at the sky and asked Matilda to bring all the clothes and jewellery to be worn in the evening to the library, and then she and Filiel turned the book.

Bonaparte doesn’t understand Latin and Greek, and Georgiana doesn’t understand Greek. Philly, a Greek who is proficient in multiple languages, comes in handy.

These "ancient books" have not been said for hundreds of years. Even if they are carefully maintained, many of them have become moldy and deteriorated due to humid weather, and some of the pages are stuck together, which greatly affects efficiency.

Now she wished for a Ravenclaw who was as knowledgeable as "Ms. Gray".

She originally thought Bonaparte would have nothing to do, but he also seemed to have found a bookshelf that she could read, so she ignored him even more.

"Damn bird." She cursed, staring at the book spread out on the table in a daze.

After the Battle of Agincourt, Henry V controlled most of Normandy. The French King Charles was forced to agree to the Treaty of Troyes and officially recognized Henry as the heir to the French throne.

However, Henry V did not feel happy for long before he died. At the same time, Charlie was still dead, and the peace treaty was also destroyed. Henry VI and Charles’ son, Henry’s successor, declared that they would inherit the throne.

The signing of the "Amiens Peace Treaty" was not smooth. The Pope's original intention may be to promote peace between the two countries and establish his authority. However, none of them thought that someone would kidnap the Pope's envoy Caprara.

Their purpose is to hope that the church will continue to fund and support them, but at that point in time it became someone deliberately sabotaging peace in Europe.

At that time, the ambassadors of Germany, Portugal, Spain and other countries all participated in the "Pheasant Feast", and it was a declaration of war on whoever put the crime on the head, so the United States, the farthest offshore, fell unlucky.

The cooperation between the United States and France is the best. France needs rice, tobacco, potash, fur and wood for boats. The United States needs brandy, oil and various other industrial products, especially tobacco. The French like Virginia's flue-cured tobacco very much.

You can drink tea without sugar, making it difficult for people who are used to smoking to quit smoking. Napoleon imposed tariffs on some products in the United States, and Jefferson also imposed tariffs on tobacco. This is actually a loss for both sides. The French do not smoke, and American tobacco workers are also facing the problem of unemployment. Virginia is the hometown of Washington, and not all tobacco growers here are slaves.

Originally, the British could earn money in the middle as they did in 1785, that is, collecting French coins and lowering prices to American planters, but Napoleon did not prohibit the American fleet from entering French ports.

With the Spaniard’s blank concession certificate, it is convenient. The captain holds two bills, one is shipped from the United States to any neutral country, and then a bill is issued from the neutral country, indicating that the goods are shipped from a neutral country to France. Even if the goods were shipped intact from the United States and shipped in the United States, they can only pay the normal taxes instead of paying the outrageous tariffs.

This "neutral country" often refers to Spain. Spanish warships sail on the inland rivers of the United States. They don't do anything. They just check if there are licenses for passing ships. What about ships without licenses? It's very simple. If you go to the U.S. Customs and pay the customs duties, the shipowner can also issue a certificate stating that his goods were shipped to the UK. Will Members of Parliament have time to pay attention to them?

Small farmers were panicked all day by the low-priced grains from the United States. They feared that they would lose their protection and would compete with foreign countries. They started the "Bread and Blood" movement. There is a debate over whether or not to pass the "Corn Law". Meat is what the British most want to eat, but even if the animal husbandry in the UK is more advanced than that in France, not everyone can afford it.

Unlike colonial agriculture, aboriginal smallholders can solve the cost problem by using slaves. French smallholders use family labor, which means that the family cultivates the land together. However, the French do not particularly value the labor produced by male members of the family, because In rural areas, most women work in agriculture, while men go out to find work.

Thanks to Gabriel Uvrard’s 2 million quintals of food, not only the hungry French, but also Barryon, an investment shipping banker, saved from bankruptcy. Spain is also carrying out reforms, but instead of free marketization of food prices, it is abandoning traditional agricultural management methods.

Beginning in the Middle Ages, the kings who followed the church paid more attention to animal husbandry. In 1273, King Alfonso X established the Mesta Honor Society. The practitioners of this association can guarantee that the livestock roads will not be invaded, and the livestock can use the wasteland, Cultivated land and forks.

Farmers on a small piece of land don’t have the money to get so many livestock. They use the Mestas to rent their animals. If this system is abolished, the landowners can grow crops in enclosures instead of grazing them. The aristocracy gave way, and now France is investigating land that can be used for laying railways to choose those that are not fertile. That kind of porous and fertile land is not only valuable, but also affects farming.

Although the prohibition of the nobles and churches from annexing land and transferring real estate has little response, Spain’s acres are still acceptable, and small landlords and tenant farmers also sell excess harvests and livestock.

Wheat is also divided into durum wheat and soft wheat. Hard wheat is ground with high-gluten flour, soft wheat is ground with low-gluten flour, high-gluten flour is suitable for bread and noodles, and low-gluten flour is suitable for biscuits and cakes. The seeds of the durum wheat plant produced in Spain were brought over from the Middle East in the 13th century. It is cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant, and does not require high soil requirements. Spain’s irrigation system is not developed. Some areas are semi-arid. There are many people in the southeast and water shortages. The west and north are rainy and the population is small. At present, many places are still there. Use irrigation systems left over from the Roman period, such as those spectacular Roman aqueducts.

Currently, Spain has not encountered natural disasters. What they lack is money and coins, so that they have to sell educational assets to survive. The Spanish agreed to sell the property through the Pope, but as long as they do not take back the maritime hegemony, they are still in a state of "disconnected" with the colonies. It is clear that Mexico has silver coins.

At the beginning of the talks on the peace treaty, the British proposed the ceding of Ceylon. The former Dutch Demorara, Essequibo and Berbice became free ports, abandoning Martinique, and retaining Spanish Trinidad and French Dopa. Brother, this choice means that France must choose one at the expense of the Netherlands and Spain.

In the end, Napoleon chose France and its allies to keep all the colonies except Ceylon and Trinidad, and this was the reason why the Duke of Orange demanded compensation.

Talleyrand went to Berlin to negotiate and didn’t actually talk about anything, but just how much money he would give.

Last night he talked about her speech at the reception. Georgiana wanted to bring peace, justice and order. Bonaparte took "peace" away.

Tariff reduction is conducive to business development. However, he exempts steel from tariffs, but not the textile industry. This is artificial inequality. The steel industry has to take away part of the established textile industry if it wants to obtain more resources. Concessions, such as the proportion of cotton and iron ore shipped from the United States.

Iron ore in the UK has no franchise rights. Whoever owns the mine who opens the mine is basically smelted on-site. In addition to tea and saltpeter in the franchise of the East India Company, French saltpeter miners also have privileges. After the Great Revolution, human rights became available. Police and military police could not go to citizens’ homes to arrest people, especially at night, but miners could trespass into houses with the slogan "I suspect you have mines in your house" to prevent some people from desperately needing saltpeter in the country to get out of dung. In the case of withdrawing, there is "no money left".

If it’s the 21st century, Pomona’s abilities are useless. There are men and women who are dieting and losing weight, which is the same as she is now.

She looked at those ancient books and smiled bitterly.

The first time Severus saw Bonaparte, he said he was useless. Isn't the soldier useless in the era of peace?

They are just two useless, abandoned people dreaming.

At this time, the choir next door changed a song, not a hymn or hymn:

Ventfrais, the breeze,
