Chapter 1389 "Family Reunion"

During the years of famine, the soldiers missed the lucrative adventure life of the war. Italy was very rich, and those representatives who stayed in Lyon could be forgiven for suspecting that Napoleon wanted to send troops to commit robbery again.

When he set out for Egypt, the Directory refused to give him military expenses. Napoleon asked Berthier, Joubert and Bruner to extort "donations" in Rome, the Netherlands and Switzerland respectively. Napoleon himself estimated that it was 8 million, but only how much he actually extorted

Only those who go out know it.

Napoleon's feelings towards Italy were complicated. When he heard that an Italian had killed an Austrian woman in revenge, he did not feel threatened at all. Instead, he felt happy and felt that the Italians had become like this.

Credit.

Italy after the Renaissance no longer had the temperament of the ancient Roman Empire. In addition to the ancient Roman army, law was also a bloody and glorious part of Rome.

According to the provisions of Roman law, heirs can be divided into testamentary inheritance and intestate inheritance, and heirs can be divided into own heirs and outside heirs.

The hereditary system is passed down according to blood families. Joseph Bonaparte is Napoleon's brother and the eldest son of the Bonaparte family. The primogeniture system is indeed conducive to unification, but Joseph has no sons, and restoring the hereditary system is not "democratic"

", not "republican".

Only by restoring the monarchy can the hereditary system be legalized, but in this way the French just overthrew one king and raised another. For the vast majority of French people, especially the peasants, who have not yet been enlightened, Napoleon was

There is nothing wrong with the king, but for the "enlightened" French people, this is a step backwards.

Eugène could have been Napoleon's heir, and Eugène had no blood relationship with Napoleon. However, he lost the right to inherit because of his mother. The son-in-law of the Eastern Roman Empire also had the right to inherit. This kind of adoption and marriage ceremony can be regarded as "acceptance".

"The act made unrelated outsiders become a "family" and qualified for inheritance.

Now that the church and Napoleon still have common interests, Caprara will help her. However, he has also tried to control her, but he failed. Now she probably knows what he said. The Thackeray Code stipulates

Since the French crown is passed down from male to female, the son born or adopted by Georgiana as the "Second Lady" may become Napoleon's heir. Napoleon only needs to divorce Josephine and marry Georgiana again, and Georgiana's

The adopted son could also be Napoleon's adopted son, and the church would then declare the marriage and adoption relationship "legitimate." What's more, Delmid was Napoleon's nephew and had a blood relationship.

However, the Salic law is a Germanic barbarian code. It has been abolished and used again. Georgiana used it again. It was also the rule of the old king that Napoleon had to obtain his consent when arranging marriages for his subordinates. If Napoleon ascended the throne, Georgiana would use that piece of legislation.

At the very least, the land could become his vassal. But this would involve similar issues to the three fathers of Pepin. In order to obtain the crown, Pepin donated a piece of territory to the pope, and the pope used this land to establish the Papal State.

.The two used each other to create the "divine right of kings" that has enveloped Europe for nearly a thousand years.

The Prime Minister's primary task is to manage the royal family's finances. In addition, he also assists other officials in managing the land, which is a job similar to that of a housekeeper. Georgiana's "land" is currently managed by people from the church, building hospitals, etc., but last time

In the greenhouse, she saw a military doctor named Larrey, and only then did she know what the men were doing behind her back.

The Prime Minister did not want official positions and land to become transferable and replaceable. This tradition remained in France until before the French Revolution. Many official positions were hereditary, but land could be bought and sold. Nobles without land were like rootless duckweeds.

, when the land is sold, the income from it will not go to the nobles. For example, a piece of land can be sold for 400 francs, and the annual income is 40 francs. If you sell it, you can get 10 years of income. But what will happen after ten years?

That is not a problem that the nobleman who sold his family property and lived in Paris was thinking about. The Gaunt family was once very rich, but it became poor in Voldemort's generation. Merope was so poor that he sold a priceless locket.

The locket only sold for 10 gold galleons. If Voldemort hadn't died, the Gaunt family would have been extinct.

It is easier to understand that official positions are hereditary. The business is inherited from father to son. Shaptal's uncle is a doctor, so he hopes that Shaptal can also be a doctor. Some people will be obedient, and some people will be like Shaptal.

Not wanting to pursue that career for various reasons, Schaptal became a chemist.

Lucien didn't want the inheritance, but that didn't mean he didn't want to hold power. The people he introduced to Georgiana were all republicans. What he wanted to do more might be a "regent" who could use power without having to wear a crown.

The people he introduced were all practical people, much better than the flattering people around Napoleon. The two brothers had completely different styles and talents, but Lucien would not be as soft-hearted about women as Napoleon, and would not treat the little one like Napoleon.

With Delmid helping her to ascend the "throne", her usefulness is gone. Where this "English woman" goes is entirely at the discretion of the "Prince Regent".

Napoleon may have made preparations for her to run to Italy if things went wrong in the future. The Directory asked him to annex the Papal States, but he did not do so, which also left a way out for himself. He could at least arrange for his family to live in the Papal States.

The Italian royal palace, instead of being like those old nobles, had their property confiscated, their families exiled to other places, and even their heads were thrown into the ground.

This is his usual style, always making plans to make amends. Even when he went to Corsica to promote independence, he did not quit his military duties.

If Napoleon established a republic in Italy, and he only extracted Italian interests and ignored the demands of the local people, then the Italian Republic, which he conquered after crossing the Alps twice, would also be lost. After the land was conquered, it would be ruled by Jourdan.

Last year's Turin Fort Incident had become unpopular, and this time the representatives came just as a chance to save them.

Many people like art. Even people who don't understand art will feel very unconvinced when they know that art has been lost overseas. And Georgiana happens to be short of money, so she wants to return these "state-owned assets" of the Louvre.

Those Italians.

The Corsican taught her a lesson last time, not to give away the things he had "earned" so hard, so it would be right for her to sell those things now. Anyway, if France is occupied by other countries, the things in the Louvre will also be lost.

It will be divided up by other countries. "Before" the Germans emptied the Louvre.

It didn't matter that those Italian representatives came to Paris. She could just take this opportunity to sell some of the oil paintings that were too numerous to put in. It would be better to keep those paintings to admire in exchange for some steel rice noodles, real money, and goodwill in people's hearts.

If you want your treasure to be protected from being snatched away, you have to become stronger.

A unified country needs resource allocation, and money needs to flow to places where it is needed more, which is the same as moving food from provinces with abundant harvests to provinces with food shortages.

The wisdom of the people is the guarantee of national security. If a woman takes to the streets to demonstrate at this time in order to obtain the "equal" right to wear pants with men, the end will definitely not be good.

Before Lafayette came with the National Guard, Versailles was surrounded by women who wanted cheap bread, but they did not come by themselves, but were led to Versailles by a man.

The queen is a very powerful chess piece on the chessboard, but no matter how powerful the chess piece is, it is just a chess piece and will be eaten like Marie Antoinette.

Perhaps part of the 75 million francs was used for disaster relief and to buy high-priced grain, and the other part was misappropriated and embezzled. Anyway, Marie Antoinette was responsible for the final crime alone, and the national debt has not yet been released.

Still.

Georgiana didn't want to take the blame for others, let alone be a pawn to be used.

There are many oriental plants in the greenhouse, and now she is repotting a pot of tiger lily.

It doesn't look as pure as the white lily. It is covered with black spots, which look like freckles or traces of smallpox.

She felt that this was her way to survive.

She wouldn't manipulate Delmid the way Albus manipulated Harry.

Albus gave Harry happiness, but did not tell him the truth. It was not until the end that Harry understood his "destiny" through Severus.

He was cursed at that time and wanted to die. His brain was not sound at all.

What's even more annoying is that Severus also lost his ability to think because of his confusion. He must still be thinking about the red-haired lily.

Oh, if Lily also had acne and freckles on her face, how would any boy like her so much?

Georgiana thought a little viciously.

Both Lily and Josephine married well and lived a life without worries about food and clothing. She really wanted to see if they could still play the harp despite carrying a huge debt of 1.3 billion.

"I'm so angry!" she suddenly shouted.

What did it have to do with her that Napoleon himself didn't go to the inauguration ceremony? Caprara made it sound as if it was all her fault.

At this time, two days had passed since the agreed time, and she had not received any news.

The peace Addington advocated was a peace that was beneficial to Britain. Napoleon would not sacrifice French interests for Georgiana like Antony did.

Neither William Pitt the Younger nor his allies would swallow their humiliation and evade provocation in order to preserve the peace, and she really could not figure out how to resolve this deadlock.

"Who made you angry?"

Suddenly, a man's voice spoke in French with a strange accent at the door of the greenhouse.

She looked up at the short man, who was still wearing the gray coat.

"Tell me who it is, and I'll help you teach him a lesson."

What is the normal reaction of a normal woman at this time? Should she jump in and hug her?

"I sent Delmid to your mother," she said coldly. "I don't believe Josephine can take care of a child."

Napoleoni sighed with some disappointment, "Is this what you want to tell me?"

"I can't think of anything clever to say," she said frustratedly. "Do you want to take a bath? I'll put the bath water for you."

"Look at this." He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and showed it in front of her.

"How can I see clearly from so far away?"

"Come and take a look."

She walked over obediently and took the illustrated magazine from his hand.

A thin French soldier was kissing a fat woman in a tutu.

"Does that woman look like the Prince of Wales wearing women's clothes?" Napoleonio suddenly said.

"I've never met the Prince of Wales," she said dully.

"I met him, but he didn't wear women's clothes. He said he wanted to see me wearing women's clothes next time?"

Georgiana looked at him puzzled.

"Do you think I look good in women's clothes?" Napoleonio asked with a smile.

She couldn't imagine Napoleon in a dress.

Although Neville's Boggart turned into Severus wearing women's clothes, she couldn't imagine Severus wearing women's clothes.

"Oh my God, don't let me see it." She seemed to have eaten the sourest orange, her facial features wrinkled up. "That will become a nightmare."

Napoleoni suddenly picked her up and spun her around in the greenhouse.

They finally looked like normal people.
