Chapter 1505 The Charge of Life
Chapter 1506 “Prenatal Education”
When the weather becomes very hot, people will not only become reluctant to move, but also lose their appetite and want to eat light and cold food.
Just like when the weather gets cold, people will want to eat high-calorie foods to resist the cold.
This is part of nature, but the growing environment of sugar cane is in the tropics and subtropics. There are only two ways for people to overcome this kind of nature. One is slavery through forced labor, and the other is a reward mechanism. Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.
, however the latter method is not conducive to long-term profits.
A leader who claimed to abolish slavery but then reinstated forced labor, Toussaint Louverture was not a peaceful liberator. Sometimes the people who understand you best are not your friends and lovers, but your enemies. Napoleon
Ni is now in a tight siege, but there is no rescue for him. Each of the consultants around him has his own position and point of view. It is no wonder that he will say what he will naturally listen to when he wants to hear opinions.
Georgiana put away the dagger that Napoleon derided as a "bread knife", pulled down the hood of her cloak, and left the mansion with Figuere. Although she was a witch, she still wanted to go to Paris.
Confession and mass at Notre Dame.
She looked at the busy French people on the road. In fact, she could understand Merlin's aggrieved mood. Although Napoleon set high tariffs for the Italian Republic, Italy's taxes were very low, which meant that the Italians could no longer follow the past.
As long as they are engaged in foreign trade, they can use their energy in other aspects, such as reading and recreating the glory of the Renaissance.
In Spain and Portugal, reading is still the same as it was in the Middle Ages, and is still a privilege for the aristocracy and the wealthy. However, in Italy, everyone has the right to read. Rich provinces help poor provinces, actively eliminate illiteracy, and improve public health.
He encourages art and music, and he also plans to restore Pangting Wetland into cultivated land. After comparison, it will feel unfair.
The story of the farmer and the snake teaches people that you cannot expect that all the people you give sympathy and relief to are worthy. A kind-hearted person will definitely not be able to accept this, so the kind-hearted farmer yelled "I
"I wanted to do good deeds, but because of my shallow knowledge, my own life was harmed, so I received this kind of retribution."
Georgiana herself was also deceived. She showed kindness to Peter Pedillo who fell in the snow. As a result, her child was lost and she almost died.
This may be destiny, because Severus has an unbreakable oath on his body that he will "always" take care of his godson Draco Malfoy, so the god of fate will arrange such a misfortune to take them away from each other.
Drive him out of his seclusion.
People in the 20th century are used to "kindness", so it is difficult to understand the French in this period. The old system has never been merciful to repression. The representatives of the Jacobin Public Security Committee sent to all parts of France have "absolute power"
", including the removal of elected officials and reappointment, the ability to replace army conscription, the ability to arrest suspects, collect taxes, implement price controls, force loans, and demand farm tools, clothing, and raw materials.
Some of these representatives are here to satisfy their own selfish desires, while others, like Merlin, believe that this method can eliminate those who, regardless of the country's danger, are still making money when foreign enemies invade.
Napoleon was one of the few positive figures among the Jacobins. What Merlin did just now was considered polite. The Scottish College was once transformed into a prison because the original prison was not enough. Even Luxembourg was a prison. In another period, she
She has been arrested and imprisoned a long time ago. She does not have the same charm as Teresa, so she asked Talyan to launch a coup to save her.
Queen Catherine's rise from the chosen bride of a small principality to the "Great Emperor" was not just based on her beauty. She ordered the execution of all Turkish prisoners and turned the Black Sea into a sea of blood.
It is easy for a woman who wants to be a queen to die after looking at the queen's jewelry and gorgeous clothes. Similarly, a man who sees that the King of France has so many mistresses and lives in a mansion thinks that he can try wearing a crown.
You will die, too. Under the throne is the hill of bones. If you have no idea about mountains of corpses and seas of blood, you can go and see the catacombs in Paris. If that doesn't clear your mind, there's nothing you can do.
There are many careerists in this world who died because of their ambitions, otherwise the crown would not be called the Crown of Thorns.
This time she did not bring the Mamluks with her, and only had Figur as a bodyguard. The priests in the church did not hide like the priests in St. Pierre Cathedral, but welcomed her very politely.
Under the guidance of one of the priests, Georgiana met Caprara in a small chapel. He was whispering something to a priest. The priest looked a little frightened, but kept nodding, and left soon after.
After he left, Caprara looked at Georgiana.
"What brings you here, princess?" Caprara said with a smile.
"I need to confess," Georgiana said. "Do I need to go to the confession booth? Father?"
"There is no need to go to such a private place." Caprara stretched out her hand toward Georgiana, "Let's talk while walking."
Figel deliberately walked ten steps away from the two of them.
"Who was that person just now?" Georgiana was at a loss for words.
"I thought you came to confess." Caprara said, "That is Father Platt who is going to Warsaw to serve as ambassador. The First Consul wants to rebuild Poland."
Georgiana couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.
"Why are you smiling like that?"
I'm jealous of those pure women, she said in her heart.
"Nothing," said Georgiana.
"He didn't want the Poles to know about his actions," Caprara said. "He wanted Poland to support France because Queen Catherine had occupied half of Poland's territory."
Georgiana was stunned for a moment, "How could you tell me such a secret?"
"This is not a secret." Caprara smiled. "The First Consul hopes that we will conduct patriotic education at Mass. This is expressly stipulated in the agreement. He also hopes that Father Platt can deliver a patriotic speech in Poland."
"But you don't support them doing that, do you?" Georgiana said with a smile.
Caprara stood firm: "The church today is not the church during the Eastern Expeditions. We hope to bring rational life and moral order to the world."
"If others find out about your actions, they will consider it treason." Georgiana reminded.
"I heard that you also did something extraordinary. How could you hand over documents to the British in public?"
"If the French don't implement that document, it's just a pile of waste paper. If they plan to implement it, they will make it public sooner or later. I don't think there is anything to hide." Georgiana said confidently.
Caprara smiled and said, "What are you confessing to today?"
"Someone wants to expel me from France." She said with a cold face, "Leon needs help, I can't leave at this time."
"You want us to help him?"
"I just need guidance. I feel that continuing to deal with Saint-Domingue with brutal repression is not the answer to the problem," Georgiana said.
Caprara did not answer her question immediately, but continued to walk forward.
"Livy once said that Corsica is a rugged, mountainous, almost uninhabited island. The inhabitants of the island are just like that place, as ferocious and unmanageable as beasts." Caprara said, "Hard.
The tendency toward primitive life, deep family hatred, and fierce resistance to invaders made the Corsicans suitable for guerrilla warfare and mercenary careers. Civilization grew up in the city, but Letizia breathed the flavor of war when she was pregnant with him.
The air, living in the mountains and forests, her child has remembered all this since then. He is different from those children of noble blood who were conceived in a peaceful and comfortable palace."
"I don't think there is peace in the palace. I was assassinated not long ago."
"His gray eyes may have been inherited from his father, but anyone who has seen the Bonaparte brothers will recognize them as Letizia's children." Caprara said with a smile, "His Excellency Bonaparte once said
, all his good deeds originated from his mother."
Georgiana felt like a sap.
Letizia got married at the age of 14, and Napoleon was born at the age of 16. Catholic girls in this era got married relatively early. Strictly speaking, Georgiana and Napoleon's mothers were both 48 years old.
As people get older, they tend to become gentler and more receptive to religion, while young people are full of passion and enthusiasm. This is also part of nature.
Louis XVI was a good man. He did not bloody suppress the people like the kings of the old times. It was a pity that the people killed him.
The stench of corpses on the battlefield will spread from the countryside to the city, while the stench of corpses during the revolutionary period spread in the cities. The countryside has not been disturbed much, except for a few nobles who committed heinous crimes. The countryside has become a place for the nobles to hide.
Because theocracy has not yet fallen in the countryside, farmers still support the church, and they have not implemented the ten-day rest system in the city at all, but still follow the traditional seven-day rest system that has been in place for thousands of years.
The only thing that turned the peaceful countryside into hell was the Inquisition. At that time, the city people again laughed at the ignorance of the countryside.
This is the difference between men and women. Men can kill rationally, while women can be emotional and kind. Therefore, the vast majority of people who are ultimately tied to the stake and burned to death are witches.
"Do you remember what I told you about heraldry last time?" Caprara interrupted her meditation. "Count Felsen is now the Chief of Heraldry of Sweden."
"What?"
"He served in Rochambeau's army," Caprara said, "and he was Marie Antoinette's lover."
"Why do you mention him?"
"If you really think you are British, you should know what it would mean for Britain if Northern Europe and the Baltics were blocked," Caprara said.
Georgiana made no answer.
"He also helped the king and his wife escape from Paris." Caprara said with a smile, "Do you think your husband would do that for you?"
"No." Georgiana denied categorically.
"Bonaparte calls you his tormentor. You make him suffer. If he is the tyranny of power, you are the tyranny of love. Only the power of love is something he cannot fight."
"I can't make him change his mind," said Georgiana.
"I've told you a way," Caprara said, "and I believe you are not the only one in Paris who wants to change the status quo."
"What do you mean?"
Caprara smiled mysteriously, "The French love the God of War who brought them victory, and they are also afraid of the Jacobins who brought terror. When victory becomes elusive, fear will dominate people's minds. You never know what will happen if you fall into fear."
What can man do? This is a historic moment, Georgiana, let's see what man can do."
"Sorry, I don't want to witness it with you." Georgiana said hurriedly, "I have other things to do."
"May God bless you," Caprara said.
Georgiana didn't even wait for him to finish crossing herself before leaving.
"May God bless us." Caprara stood alone in the corridor of Notre Dame, looking at Georgiana's back and said.
