Chapter 1939 Egret Feather (2)

Compared with the Rouen City Hall, which was converted into a monastery, the Court of Rouen is much more gorgeous, but who would want to have a dance in the Court?

After getting off the carriage, facing the cold wind of the foggy moon, she looked up at the so-called Apothecary College in front of her. It was located in a monastery, or it itself was a religious property, while the nursery that originally belonged to the monastery was

It is a place to learn about herbal medicine and medicine.

The women of the Rouen Chamber of Commerce were already waiting for her here, and there were also a few men, mostly dressed in robes. She especially paid attention to those dressed as priests.

The Archbishop of Rouen is Etienne-Hubert Combaceres, the brother of the "poor" Second Consul Combaceres, who is not yet a cardinal, and was presented by him in Rouen Cathedral yesterday before a military parade.

Responsible for celebrating Mass.

The First Consul was furious. According to the custom, after receiving the Holy Communion, the king wanted to kiss the golden plate on which the Holy Communion was placed, but Archbishop Cambaceres refused to kiss him. He was worried about this all morning.

The highest-ranking member of the entourage was Interior Minister Chaptal. After chatting with the archbishop for a while, he figured out the reason. It was just part of the ceremony. Later, Chaptal explained to him, and he didn't care so much, and then started again.

The meeting lasted 6 hours.

Restoring the church and maintaining order in the west were Napoleon's main achievements. Many refugees were imprisoned in workhouses to wait for retribution after being captured.

Wandering outside will basically make them sick, so the herbs in the nursery are used by them. But now that "noble people" have come, they have been cleared away to other places, leaving only a few women and children as a facade.

The protagonists of charity galas are never those in need of help. Everyone wants a good reputation and wants to have fun at the same time. Then you will know what the real face of that kind of occasion is.

The street children and women who had been cleaned up stood far away like a backdrop, but the one who greeted Georgiana was a respectable woman.

She put on a polite and thoughtful smile and chatted with the women. Not all of these women were boss wives, there were also female bosses. Rouen and Lyon also practiced outsourcing industry, which meant that some of the raw materials were sent to the countryside.

Textile processing.

The soil conditions in Brittany are just like that. Doing this can subsidize the family income, which is different from the centralized large-scale production in the UK.

An industry often has related supporting industries, just like a car factory has many suppliers, who not only provide raw materials, but also provide spare parts for production equipment. There is also a Michelin company in Nantes, but it is not the same as the later one.

The Michelin company that sells tires is different. It provides parts for those textile machines. The slave trade also had an impact on cities such as Rouen and Nantes. These companies also obtained loan funds through the slave trade and were established through shares.

.

There are also major shareholders and small shareholders in joint-stock companies. Small shareholders are often bullied, so joint-stock companies are currently illegal. After all, the Duke of Orleans has changed his name to Philippe Equality.

If you want a bank loan, you need collateral. If Georgiana is like those female bosses, she will have to find a way to get money and get a loan instead of reaching out to her husband or boyfriend.

Scarlett was rude to Rhett Butler when he asked for money because she did not regard Rhett Butler as an outsider. Georgiana's starting point was already much higher than that of most people. Most companies will undergo asset restructuring, mortgage the Gebu factory, and then

This loan was used to open a perfume shop. She believed that Faron would not have any savings at all. He would provide skills and she would find ways to find sales. This would be much easier than those shops that started from the bottom.

Napoleon described Britain's free trade as a "ladder style". In the early 18th century, Britain's textile industry tariff was 100%. In order to prevent the impact of India's cheap fabric imports, after Britain's efficiency was upgraded, their products had an absolute advantage.

Only then did the barriers come down and "free competition" began.

If Georgiana had slandered Bonaparte and asked him to lower France's tariff barriers, she would soon "fall out of favor." But by abolishing slavery, these small companies like Michelin would not be able to use the slave trade to obtain loans and

It is also very risky to use your own real estate as a mortgage. If you lose money, where will your family live?

If you have to be responsible for your own food, clothing, housing and transportation, a monthly salary of 12 francs is definitely not enough, and the rent is more than that, but it is much better than a dead man with two children, a woman who cannot find a formal job and can only work as a temporary worker.

.

She herself can understand, but others may not necessarily. Desire is like a horse that keeps running. It will be uncomfortable to keep reining them. It is not convenient for her to show up on such occasions. It doesn't matter if the maids go shopping. Rouen is mainly made of cotton.

Lord, the women in the court wore silk.

Georgiana was escorted into the nearby monastery. It was indeed much warmer after entering the room. The windows inside were all made of stained glass.

There are no flowers and plants growing in the outdoor courtyard now, but there are many potted plants indoors, which may have been moved from the greenhouse, including many plants and flowers from Southeast Asia.

Siam usually refers to Thailand, and Siam is Sanskrit. When she mentioned Siam cloth, the first thing she thought of was the monks wearing bright cassocks in Thai temples and the floating markets full of flowers.

That was of course a dream. She had been to a real vegetable market, which was dirty and messy, with a fishy smell everywhere. However, the Siamese cloths were indeed brightly colored, and they looked great when used to decorate the walls in winter.

Not long after they arrived, they were treated to tea, which was almond tea from India. The almonds were fried in butter and boiled in milk, and then used to brew tea, which gave the milk tea a layer of oil on the surface.

, drinking a cup of steaming tea like this in winter couldn’t be more comfortable.

Matilda carried her tea box with her, and she poured the milk tea into Sèvres porcelain.

Rouen also produces porcelain, but the porcelain produced here is mainly for civilian use and is far less exquisite than Sèvres. Besides, Matilda is an aristocratic lady, and her every move is in line with aristocratic etiquette. Many enthusiastic factory owners and wives use

Looking at Matilda with envy.

Of course, some people are disdainful of Georgiana's "style". They have not seen how cumbersome and restrictive court etiquette is. People like Georgiana are already considered very barbaric.

After the milk tea was brewed, she took a sip and found that the tea did not seem to be traditional black tea.

"This is oolong tea." A female family member of a factory owner said, "What do you think, madam?"

Georgiana smiled, but did not say any compliments.

She remembered how much trouble Marie Antoinette got herself into because of a casual compliment.

The female family member may have felt that she was left out and looked a little embarrassed.

"I heard from missionaries that Easterners use tea instead of wine, which not only protects their health and prevents diseases, but also avoids the harm of drinking alcohol." A priest then asked, "Besides almonds, what else can be added to tea?"

"Then we have to see what's here." Georgiana said immediately.

"Then please," the priest said as he stood up.

"Wait a minute." Georgiana said, drinking all the milk tea left in the cup. "Who is the supplier of this oolong tea?"

"I...I." A woman stammered.

Georgiana pointed at Matilda, "You go with her to soak some more. We will use it for experiments later."

"Come with me, madam." Matilda said to the woman gently, and then the two of them left together.

Georgiana and the priest came together.

"Are you Archbishop Cambaceres?" Georgiana asked.

"Yes, madam." The priest, who looked nothing like the Second Consul, smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Bonneau, the senior official, had a serious quarrel with the First Consul yesterday over the issue of tariffs. He raised the issue with you.

Already?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Georgiana said stupidly.

The archbishop smiled and looked calm, and he politely and thoughtfully asked Georgiana to go ahead.
