Chapter 1544 Golden Rule

At dawn, in the southern sky, the clouds near the horizon will show a hazy rose color. The farther west you go, the darker the color of the clouds, and the farther east you go, the brighter the fog on the horizon will appear. If a white house is in the east, it will almost look like a rose.

Invisible, if it is located in the south, the farther away it is, the darker the rose color of the house.

In the early morning, the fog is thicker on the upper floors than on the lower floors because the sun draws it upward, so the top floors of tall buildings are invisible even though the top floors are just as far away from you as the bottom floors.

The heights of the sky and the horizon also appear dim because of this, and the color is not close to blue, but like smoke and dust; the air in the fog is not blue at all, but like clouds. On sunny days, the clouds turn white and become darker.

It gets darker as you go west, and the clearer you see as you look east. The green fields take on a bluish hue in the light fog, and turn black when the fog is thick.

This is the world in Leonardo da Vinci's paintings.

November is the Brumaire, and Bonaparte planned to hold a celebration for the Brumaire Coup. Georgiana felt that Sieyes would definitely not want to participate.

There is no need for her to take care of farming loans. The French established the Agricultural Credit Administration, which uses local treasury and commercial banks to solve short-term capital turnover problems for French farmers. It also provides commercial and legal mutual assistance.

It may even become a credit bank in the future. In order to organize this, bankers have been preparing since last year. Even if Georgiana is "crazy", they still have to proceed step by step.

There are three main ways to increase money and credit: spending money, increasing national debt, and increasing taxes.

The risk of national debt is too great. In contrast, credit to farmers is much more reliable. If they cannot repay the loan, at least they will have land as collateral. The housekeeper that Georgiana likes, Chauffier, now works for the Agricultural Credit Administration.

Napoleon is now very cute in the eyes of bankers and farmers. He not only solved the problem of bankers' funds being nowhere to be found, but also solved the problem of farmers' difficulty in borrowing. The advantage of conservative banks is stability, which is very important for agriculture, which also needs to be steady.

It's very important.

It is a typical pyramid structure. The bottom layer is the local treasury, the middle is a regional treasury for each province, and the upper level is the headquarters in Paris. The main shareholder is a commercial bank. It refers to the model of the Bank of France. The headquarters is owned by the Paris Agricultural Association and the Paris Agricultural Association.

Under the dual relationship of the Ministry of Finance, all industries are unlisted and it is a quasi-state agency.

The members of the local treasury at the lowest level are agricultural workers, farmers, and rural handicraftsmen. They can directly contact customers in the same profession.

The banks do not lend themselves. The loans are still given in "cash" and bank notes are not issued. Currently, the loans issued are gold louis. After the new currency is issued next year, the currency issued by these local banks will be replaced by Napoleon gold coins.

The funds for these local treasury come from regional banks, which are banks opened by bankers in the region. Regional banks can supervise the business activities of local treasury, and non-agricultural parties can also invest.

This is a very profitable sector in the future. Although members of the Agricultural Credit Administration do not participate in banking activities, they have the power to decide agricultural credit policies, such as whether to favor planting or animal husbandry, and other agricultural-related fertilizers, agricultural tools and other additional industries.

Potatoes are only an emergency crop. Widespread cultivation will only lead to poverty. Anything produced in large quantities will become cheap.

When the famine occurred in Ireland, if Irish farmers had savings, they would not be unable to afford cheap grains, and more grain would also lead to an increase in population. In short, Georgiana did not agree with making potatoes a staple food.

Wolves eat meat. Potatoes can be used as food for pigs during periods of non-famine, and potatoes can be further processed to refine alcohol. Alcohol can be used as fuel or as an industrial raw material. Indigo has now been sold at incredible prices.

Chemists are extracting blue from Daqing.

In fact, corn can also be used to extract alcohol. The problem is that the harvest temperature of corn has a great influence, and it is not suitable for planting in the dimension of France during the Little Ice Age. Although the land in the countryside is privately owned, after the lords were overthrown, the farmers have already been through voluntary alliances.

By integrating resources to carry out crop rotation, they can also raise funds for mechanization, but they are in urgent need of technical support and sales of agricultural products.

Some people proposed allowing farmers and herdsmen to cultivate improved seeds on their own farms, but this suggestion was rejected by the vast majority of people.

No matter how large a farm is, funds are limited. It is best to set up a seed company to specialize in breeding. However, new problems have arisen. There are no agricultural technology colleges in universities now, but there are many horticulturists, mainly cultivating roses, tulips and other ornamental species.

Plant.

What else can be done?

Georgiana announced that the meeting was adjourned. She was not going to have a meeting here like the Tuileries Palace at five in the morning.

The meeting place of the Agricultural Association is now on the first floor of the Burgundy Mansion. The second floor is the reception room, the third floor is the library, the fourth floor is her private laboratory, and the fifth floor is her residence. Starting from the fourth floor

Entry is prohibited and the entrance is guarded by Mamluk soldiers.

She promised to give Shadi "power", but later she discovered that the wizard market in France was not very prosperous, mainly because there were not many varieties, and many potion ingredients were not available.

This is also the reason why the British Ministry of Magic wants to establish diplomatic relations with European countries and even further east by hosting the Quidditch World Cup. Taking advantage of the good relationship between the Sultan of Kebir and Turkey, Georgiana plans to make Paris a transit point for magical items from the East and the West.

Station, it would be better if there is an "Orient Express" running from Paris to Istanbul in the future.

Georgiana was born on May 15th, under the zodiac sign of Taurus, and was born to work hard. Others dream of leisurely play, but she still dreams of working.

But no matter how hard-working the big stupid cow is, she needs to rest. After going out to "recuperate" for a while, she felt much better when she returned to Paris. At least when she saw someone's face, she no longer wanted to point the wand at him.

"Are you still angry?" Leon said innocently.

"No, I didn't." She replied with a smirk.

"Can you tell me how to compensate?"

"You don't need to compensate me." Georgiana put down the quill in her hand. "You should think about whether you have fallen into a trap again."

He looked at her in disbelief.

"You think you didn't fall into the trap?"

"Tell me what you think?" He turned and closed the door.

"Have you ever wondered why Francis II kept silent about your invasion of Switzerland?" Georgiana asked. "Do you think you really conquered the Holy Roman Empire?"

"I asked you to build a good relationship with them, what did you do?" He sat down on the chair opposite her.

"It's impossible for them to sell war horses to us," Georgiana said.

"It's true they won't," Bonaparte said calmly, "but you can try with the Turks."

"What?"

"When I arrived in Ancona, the port was almost in ruins." Bonaparte patted the ashes on his body. "Do you think I should give a built port to the Pope?"

"I remember that the Treaty of Amiens required you to return Ancona to the Pope."

"The Treaty of Amiens also said that the British would withdraw from Malta. Why are you afraid of me? Invading Turkey?" He shook his head and smiled, as if it was funny.

"That's because you didn't abide by the peace treaty." Georgiana sneered. "This is what I just told you, this is a trap."

"Come here." He ordered her.

"You don't mind holding a crazy woman?" she asked.

"It doesn't matter, you are not the first queen to go crazy." Napoleon smiled and said, "The queen of the Medici family once fled Paris with her children in the middle of the night."

"You mean Louis XIV's mother?" she said in surprise.

"I can tell you a story, but you have to be obedient." He waved to her, "Come here."

This time she obeyed and walked over and sat on his lap.

But he didn't tell her the story as he said.

She pushed him away and slapped him.

"Kiss that crazy woman!" she scolded fiercely.

In the end, he smiled instead, "If you weren't crazy, how could you like me?"

She was so angry that she raised her hand again, but this time her hand didn't hit him in the face.

"You call me a 'bad thing' again." He said frivolously.

She stepped on him viciously.

"Try hard!" He said proudly, "Your strength is not enough to scratch the itch."

She pulled her wand out, and now he became serious.

"I'm going to turn you into a pig!" she threatened.

"Pigs don't give you gifts. Do you want to see your gift?" he asked.

"What gift?" she asked.

"Would you like to hear the story first or see the gift first?"

She hesitated and chose to listen to the story.

It's safer this way. God knows what weird things he will give her. If she gets so angry and walks away, the story won't be heard.

The Farm Credit Administration was its predecessor
