Chapter 2077 Tianshui is ready (3)

In the 13th century, the center of world trade was in the east, during the Song Dynasty.

The costume worn by Miss Rocoul was shipped from Suzhou. It is different from the silk made by Lyon using a jacquard machine. It is completely embroidered by hand. Even at a close distance, the birds on the clothes are vivid and vivid.

Every trace of hair can be seen extremely clearly, and it will continue to change color as the light changes.

Georgiana was also a woman, and then she felt what Josephine felt when she saw Grassini at the party.

Fortunately, the fake smile he had practiced for so many years came in handy, and he did not look bad on the spot for Academician Bonaparte, who was "too enthusiastic" to talk to Miss Rocur in Italian.

Of course, her black outfit is not as bright as Miss Rocourt's gorgeous colors, and the French Academician's uniform is extremely gorgeous, so it seems that Miss Rocourt and Academician Bonaparte are a couple.

Georgiana "thought" that an actress who could play opposite Talma should know something, but that didn't seem to be the case. That's why Talma was like "Caesar" and would not be replaced easily, while the women around him would not be replaced easily.

stop.

She wanted a "one-hearted man", and she was attracted by Severus, who had always liked Lily and never changed his mind. However, he was too stubborn and did not change his mind.

The second "one-hearted person" is just said to be a dedicated person, but he is very changeable. Some people even gave him the nickname Chameleon. There are many men and women around him, and he can choose at will.

"for you."

At this moment, the "China Hands" man handed her a box.

She remembered the story of Gongsun Yi. No matter how much he liked fish, she could not just accept the fish given to her by others.

"No, I..."

But the gentleman opened the box, took out the contents, and opened it in front of her.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" the "China expert" said.

Georgiana looked at the thing in his hand in shock.

It was a folding fan, probably made of used silver. There were very gorgeous patterns on it, forming a picture of a woman holding a rabbit and sitting under a tree.

"This is Chang'e. She is the moon goddess in Eastern legend. She reminds me of you." said the "China expert".

"I can't accept your gift." Georgiana said seriously, "There is no reason."

"But you accepted the rose that was given to you." said the silk merchant.

"That's different..." Georgiana had a cold face, and just as she was about to say something else, she glanced at the other people at the banquet from the corner of her eye, and they were all secretly looking over here.

The person who gave her the gift looked embarrassed and a little angry, and she suddenly realized that this might become her "egret feather".

She reacted completely on a whim. She took the newly acquired fan and walked to Bonaparte who was talking to Miss Rocourt, and then coughed lightly.

Just when he turned to look at her, she unfolded the fan.

That hollow fan could not fan the air at all, not to mention the venue was so cold.

"Do you know what this means?" she asked him with a smile through the fan.

Academician Bonaparte was completely stunned. I wonder if he didn't react.

"This is fan language, which means 'I want to get to know you.'" Georgiana changed the fan from her left hand to her right hand. "And this is 'Follow me.' This is something I just learned. It's interesting, right?"

He sobered up a little, whispered something to Miss Rocoul, and returned to Georgiana's side.

"What are you doing?" he asked in a puzzled tone.

If he had a tie on, Georgiana would have wanted to pull it, lead him away like a horse.

"Didn't I tell you just now, 'Follow me'." She said with a smile.

"You don't want to get acquainted with Mademoiselle Rocourt?" Bonaparte asked with a knowing smile. "She just arrived today."

"No!" she said angrily.

"I thought you were the kind of woman who doesn't need to be the center of attention." Bonaparte said with a smile.

This is indeed a problem. It was not Georgiana who baked the pie. To be precise, she was also one of the stealing cats who deserved to be chased away.

"If she displeases you, you can just tell her what she did wrong, 'ma'am,'" Bonaparte said jokingly.

Georgiana looked at Miss Rocur again. She was curtsying towards Georgiana. Her expression looked a little frightened, and she didn't seem to be like Grassini.

But who knows, because Miss Rokul is also an actress, she may be faking it.

"How about we continue the topic just now?" At this time, the "China expert" gentleman appeared again and "Where did we just talk about?"

Bonaparte looked at him with some arrogance.

"Why are you so interested in China, sir?"

"As long as everyone in China buys one cotton nightcap, I think it will be enough for all the factories in Europe to produce. Not everyone in China is rich enough to afford silk."

"Why do they buy nightcaps?" Georgiana asked, remembering that most people she met in Chinatown didn't have this habit.

"In order to protect their braids from being cut off while they sleep." The gentleman said, "Even after many years, there are still many people who believe in and are still afraid of that kind of evil magic."

"Just like Europeans are afraid of witches." Georgiana sneered.

But no one answered, so Bonaparte changed the subject: "That official named Gao Heng, why did he cheat?"

"Oh, in fact, he is not doing it for himself, but for Emperor Qianlong..."

So the silk merchant told a story very similar to "Dream of Red Mansions", or similar to the story of Cao Xueqin's family.

Cao Xueqin is the grandson of Cao Yin, a weaver in Jiangning. He lived a prosperous life in his early years. In the sixth year of Emperor Yongzheng's reign, the Cao family was confiscated and his home was confiscated. He moved to BJ with his family. Then his family fell into decline and he lived a very poor life.

Later dynasties slandered the previous dynasty in order to make themselves appear righteous in the world. This is true all over the world. History itself is written by the victors, even the St. Edith Abbey where Georgiana went before.

However, unlike the Tang Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty had a "tyrant" Emperor Sui Yang Guang who loved going to the south of the Yangtze River. Kangxi and Qianlong also loved going to the south of the Yangtze River, although the purpose of Kangxi's visit to the south of the Yangtze River was to inspect the embankments and the customs of the southeast.

"Welcome" is an honor, but also a heavy burden. Gao Heng's sister had been a concubine, just like the Yuan concubine in Dream of Red Mansions, so the matter of welcoming her fell on him.

The first time he went to Jiangnan in the 16th year of Qianlong's reign, Gao Heng was still the commander-in-chief of Tianjin. Before that, he had been in charge of salt affairs. If Lu Jianzeng was re-appointed as the Lianghuai Salt Transport Envoy for the purpose of building exteriors, then Gao Heng was appointed as the Liang-Huai Salt Transport Envoy.

The purpose of the Huaiyan Salt Transport Envoy was to arrange a place for Qianlong to live. His house was extremely luxurious. After he was confiscated and executed, the old house was given to Princess Gu Lun and Jing by Qianlong as a residence.

Louis XIV saw that his finance minister lived more luxuriously than he did. His thoughts may be a little different from Qianlong's. Anyway, Qianlong's reason for executing Gao Heng was because "What will happen if the queen's brother breaks the law?"

Qianlong went to Jiangnan six times, and the salt merchants also had to share some expenses. The tribute they paid alone was 4.6 million taels of silver, and Gao Heng did receive money from the salt merchants, just like the handful of silver that Georgiana just received

The fan is almost the same.

All in all, the Lianghuai Salt Affairs Department's deficit is so huge that it is no longer enough to rely on Lu Jianzeng's head. It is useless to invite Concubine Huixian to express her favor. This former minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the top of the slaves finally ended up

The same fate as the Cao family, but he only affected his own branch. His cousin Gao Jin was fine because he "avoided suspicion" and handled the "soul-calling case" properly.

Such an analogy is that a dog wants to go out to poop and keeps barking at its owner. The owner doesn't understand what the dog is saying, so he ignores it. Later, the dog can't hold it in anymore and poops at home. Will the owner blame himself? He

Of course, I would pick up whatever was handy and "teach" the disobedient dog a lesson, firstly so that it would have a long memory, and secondly so that other dogs would learn from it and not make the same mistake as this dog.

Other dogs are not stupid either. The owner of the dog cannot understand what they are saying, even if he shouts and screams. But what bothers the owner? That is seeing dog poop in the house. Fortunately, dogs eat poop, and they themselves

If you eat your own shit, won’t it be over if you don’t have any evidence?

In addition to the five skills of controlling the people, Shang Yang also had a set of methods for governing the country, which were "one reward, one punishment, and one teaching."

Rewards are the same rewards according to unified standards, punishments are not divided into different levels. Officials and generals who break the law are punished the same as common people. Unified education is to make people knowledgeable, intelligent and eloquent, honest and honest, morally cultivated, and chivalrous and prestigious.

, will not evade punishment, nor will he alone create doctrines that are above the laws of the country, and will thwart those who are more capable, so that those from wealthy families can only place their hopes on military merit.

Mozi said this in his non-Confucianism: He elaborates sorcery to control the world, flourishes it as vocal music to deceive his people, his way cannot be expected in the world, and his learning cannot guide the people.

What exactly is witchcraft? Is it "soul calling"?

"Water Margin" records Liangshan Bo in the Song Dynasty. If it was a sparsely populated place, and someone turned into a bandit and occupied the mountain as king, it would not cause such a big disturbance. The key is that Liang Shan Bo is located on the Grand Canal, so it occupied

Liangshan was about to cut off the economic lifeline of the Song Dynasty.

For these grassroots bandits, they are called "heroes" in the book. She does not understand these "heroes" very well, because these "heroes" ignore the law and any rules can be trampled in their eyes.

But she felt that watching Water Margin was more enjoyable than watching Dream of Red Mansions.

If she had a son, she would never let him imitate Jia Baoyu and grow up in the Grand View Garden with a group of women.

Their world is the sky enclosed by the Grand View Garden. Although it is prosperous, it is also like a prison. Have they ever seen the deserts of Egypt or the snow-capped mountains of the Alps?

When she saw XZ Mountain for the first time, the first thing that came to her mind was that this place was once the bottom of the sea. What power made it the roof of the world?

There are also the Fish Mouth and Baopingkou of Dujiangyan. This water conservancy facility has existed for two thousand years, making the once troubled Minjiang River tamed and fertile the Land of Abundance.

There is also the wizard who calls himself "Wang Wei". He originally planned to attract the Yeti and destroy the International Yeti Scientific Research Station, but he chose to leave instead.

He also gave Severus the seeds of a dream plant.

It was a magical country, and when the "China Hands" told Napoleon about that country, his tone was seductive and his eyes were greedy, while Bonaparte's eyes were calm, like blue lake water.

A figure who is comparable to Alexander, Caesar, and Hannibal would not be clear-headed, let alone what he said: There is a sleeping lion in the east, and once it awakens, it will shock the world.

When will it be? Anyway, they are not those who hope that the Jiaofang will return to the size of the Tang and Song Dynasties.

Many of the people in those workshops were prisoners of war. Why didn't they like Gongsun Yi, who loved fish, but they thought about the consequences of eating fish given by others.

She tried to understand men, but found that sometimes she couldn't figure out what they were thinking.

When she looked around, she found a woman giving her jealous looks.

She is a woman, and sometimes she herself cannot understand what women are thinking.

Even Josephine knew how to ask Luederer for help, let Louis marry Hortense, and save her precarious marriage. She didn't even know how to do this, so what kind of palace fight was she playing?

What an idiot.

She said to herself in her mind, getting so angry that while listening to the story, she fanned herself with a fan that was completely useless.
