Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1976 Working behind closed doors (ten)

  A merchant ship came when Suez was surveying the ancient canals. At that time, Suez seemed to have suddenly become India, with Indian commodities everywhere.

  Caravans often represent materials. For tourists passing by, the original scenery of Brittany is beautiful, but for those who live here, it represents a lack of materials.

  She bought a lot of pillows, originally intended to use them by herself, but they have been used once by the ministers. She estimated that the road behind should not be needed, so she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to deal with them.

  There are also those “bed sheets”, which were originally white cotton cloths, which she planned to send back to the shelter. There are very few men in the army who love cleanliness like Napoleon, and they can make new clothes with these cloths.

France’s centralization system is a rule that can be collected for civilian use at will. This is a rule left during the Revolution. Farmers must hand over grain, forage, wool, linen and even livestock. Handicrafts must sell their products, National Guard uniforms and boots. , And sometimes even bedding will be conscripted for military use. The nitrate in the corner and the ashes from the kitchen were also expropriated to make potash and other materials needed for gunpowder.

  After the army requisitioned supplies, almost the local supplies were wiped out. When people wanted to replenish supplies, they would be speculative and people who made money from the country appeared. They are not busy selling the goods they have hoarded, and wait for the price to rise. For this reason, the National Salvation Committee issued a price ceiling order. Anyone who exceeds this price will be arrested if they are reported, but even if there is a price ceiling order, it is still profitable.

  Girondists want to use the laws of their own market to stabilize food prices. This is the point that has been criticized for not setting a ceiling price. They think that according to the laws of the market, when people see a profit, they will ship low-priced food to high-priced areas, so that under the mediation of supply and demand, the price will come down.

  The price of food has risen to desperation, and the food truck has been taken. At that time, life was like grass, and it was easier to die than to live, and only then was there a tragedy in which a mother tied her child to her waist and threw her into the river together.

The army’s clothing and general equipment are mainly handled by the back clothing and leather workshops opened by the local authorities, but the central government ordered the slaughterhouses to surrender the hides for use in making leather shoes, and the dyeing workshops obtain bark from the state-run forest farms to serve as tanning leather. s material.

Some people can’t survive in troubled times, and some people are promoted quickly. They succeeded in experimenting with a method of rapid leather tanning on the island of Billangu. The people who invented this method became famous. They used to see it in Quail Hill. Many leather factories are also because of this law.

  Bolbek is not an industrial city. It is mainly located in a traffic hub. There are many pubs, and it is also a market nearby. Apart from that, there are no other industries.

  If these fabrics are distributed to the garrison, they will find local people to help them if they do not know how to needle and thread. It is still a question of whether others are willing to collect money for this job.

  Speech can be prosperous. The content of Napoleon’s speech just now was fairly calm, such as "The motherland is so prosperous and prosperous because of your support" and so on.

  The carriages that accompany this time are very luxurious, just like a luxury car that can participate in the luxurious banquet of the Paris Opera and driving to the countryside.

  Anyway, even if Napoleon wears an ordinary uniform instead of a green marshal uniform, he does not feel like an ordinary soldier, just like he is wearing civilian clothes, others can recognize him at a glance.

  Although ordinary soldiers live in the barracks under those beacon towers, the officers have built a French manor in the forest. It is surrounded by forests, and there is a large lawn in front of it. Although it does not have the geometric trees of Versailles, it can overlook the entire river valley. It is a very suitable place for headquarters.

There is a movie called The Company of Brothers. A group of American soldiers landed from Normandy and fought all the way to Austria. At that time, there was a restaurant used by officers in a small town below the "Eagle's Nest". Smoked and roasted traces, where Americans accustomed to seeing the ruins devastated by war have seen this kind of faction.

  This place is not so exaggerated, but the wine is enough. Borbeck has no theater or library. Even if there is a library, these soldiers will not go there. What else can they do in their usual entertainment life besides drinking?

Georgiana and other non-military entourage were placed here together. It is estimated that the officers are all around him at the moment. In this case, she and a woman do not want to join in the fun, and she can be boasted as a trophy, but he said that she would have it at night. What does it mean to accompany her to dinner? Is she going to dress up with jewels and eat with him in the restaurant downstairs?

  "What vision do you have!" She muttered angrily, compiled a list, and planned to divide some of the things she bought from Rouen.

  She didn’t want to use her name, if the British and the French were to go to war again...

  She can’t use Josephine’s name either, because everyone knows what she did during Napoleon’s expedition to Egypt, and the “brother” next to him introduced him to women.

  Sharptal probably wouldn’t do it either, but fortunately she met Napoleon’s personal secretary Menivale next door.

He is also sorting out, but most of them are paperwork. It is a big office, but there is a table inside. There is no shortage of wood in the forest. The walls are all decorated with good wood, and the fire is also Was born.

  He happened to be there, so she gave him the list.

   "What are you doing?" Menival looked at Georgiana's list and said.

   "You will find a few people later and unload these things from the car. Also, don't say anything, don't let people know how to assign you to the first ruling party."

  She left after speaking.

  The little thing bought for 50,000 francs is not enough for a military stuffy tooth. Some people get supplies, and some people don’t get inequality. Such a good thing turns into a bad thing.

  She went back to her room. Matilda and Mrs. Barryon were chatting happily. They were holding blue curtains in their hands.

  Now indigo is so expensive, and blue cloth is also more expensive. Giorgioanna asked Matilda to buy the curtains, but did not say which color.

  She glanced at Mrs. Barryon, who was smiling. Rana's wife was also the minister's daughter, but she was not as young as Mrs. Barryon. She completely controlled these little girls, except for Philel.

  I didn't see them talking, nor did I see them having a bad relationship, as if there was an invisible barrier between the two, and I was cautious to keep a distance.

  Her small suite also has an office, not as luxurious as the next door, and a full-time secretary.

  She had just unfolded the map and conceived how to improve her thesis, but Feryl took a letter to her.

  "This is a letter from Dusan Louvidul." Filiel said, "It's been a few days."

  "Go and ask Farron if his equipment is still there." Georgianna said, "If it is, tell him that I want to requisition a few, and Sevuel will pay him."

   "Yes, ma'am." Feryl said.

  Wait for Philly to leave, Georgiana covered the letter with the map and continued to think about her thesis.
