Chapter 3248 The King of Spice (4)

Conde River means "sugar cane" in English. If the cotton belt is further subdivided, the area near the mouth of the Mississippi River is suitable for growing subtropical plants, and sugar cane is just one of them.

After the restoration of Charles II, he did not abolish the Navigation Act. Instead, he "listed" colonial products. Sugar, tobacco, indigo and other dyes were all included in the list. They were all grown in the south and had little impact on the "North".

If the Missouri River is "divided", then part of the central Great Plains will be given away. This area is very suitable for wheat and corn cultivation.

At present, Americans still mainly settle east of the Appalachian Mountains. Even in the 20th century, 80% of Americans lived on the east coast, and only 20% of the population lived in the west.

But it is the cereals produced in this area that will have an impact on the British Corn Laws after the late potato blight.

The 97th parallel of longitude is the "most perfect" solution, but even the Spanish, who used the 31st parallel to demarcate the border with the Americans to resolve the Florida conflict, also referred to the St. Marys River. There is no river more suitable to serve as a "natural border" "Yes."

Even if a boundary marker could be erected on the border through surveying, it would be dug up no matter how it was erected in the first place, not to mention that it is very unrealistic to survey and map almost the entire Anglo-America.

When the constitution of the French Republic was formulated in 1799, because of the establishment of a constitutional review mechanism, Napoleon declared that the revolution was over, because the problems since the outbreak of the revolution were resolved at this time.

However, it was not Napoleon who introduced this mechanism. Sieyès’s constitutional goal was first of all to fight against privileges, and secondly, natural law and natural human rights, with “no harm to others” as the mother law. Anyway, the draft that Sieyès submitted to the Constituent Assembly In this version, human rights logically take precedence over the constitution.

Talleyrand may be a little confused. As Foreign Minister, he doesn't know if he still remembers the "Dressa" case in 1792. Although the constitutional body was busy with the separation of powers at that time, it did not forget to exercise the power of constitutional supervision. As foreign minister at that time, Theresa opposed the war with Austria. Then he was accused of unconstitutional crimes. In Chapter 2 of the 1791 Constitution, The content about the king, regent and ministers specifically stipulates that "ministers shall be responsible for crimes they commit against national security and the constitution."

The charge sheet states that a minister who exceeds his authority would be guilty of this crime, but the Foreign Secretary did not specify the scope of his authority.

Talleyrand had no undue thoughts about Georgiana, although he often chased after women like a bee and a butterfly.

The German princes called him "Your Highness". In ancient times, there was a spice called compass, which was brought to Europe from North Africa by Alexander the Great during his Eastern Expedition. It has now become extinct due to over-harvesting. In addition to being delicious, ancient Greek doctors used to use it. It is used to make ointments that can calm people down from hysterical states, so it is also called benzoin. The Romans called asafoetida the Syrian compass, a lesser substitute for their highly prized Cyrene compass.

The juice can be extracted from the roots of asafoetida. The fresh resin has a pearly color, and its luster will deepen over time, but its stench will not disappear naturally. It needs to be blended with other spices to produce a similar A garlicky flavor.

In some Indian beliefs, garlic is considered dirty and therefore cannot be eaten, and asafoetida is used as a substitute.

Peace did not bring people the expected prosperous and beautiful life. In addition to two consecutive years of famine, trade could not be carried out freely due to high tariffs. Even shipping could only transport food for disaster relief and not go bankrupt. Moreover, because of the impact on the United States, Sanctions and the nationalization of tobacco companies have made tobacco prices ridiculously high.

Tobacco is to the French what wine is to the British and Americans. If there is no coffee, it can be replaced by chicory, but tobacco cannot be replaced by dried leaves.

As long as there are substitutes, you won't feel that the things in front of you are irreplaceable.

That night Napoleon said he wanted to resign, which Georgiana thought was a good sign. As St. Augustine said, some people abuse things, and some people use things well. The person who abuses things clings to them, that is to say, the things that should be controlled by him dominate him.

Vaccination against smallpox can save lives, but it may leave your face scarred with pox, and people would rather die than get vaccinated.

In comparison, tuberculosis is a very beautiful way to die.

When Voldemort was still handsome, many people became his followers because of his demonic beauty. When he returned again, only Bella was still obsessed with him.

If Sieyes had not mentioned that Saint Louis was in memory of Louis XIV, Georgiana would have thought that the name was related to Saint Louis.

In addition to emptying the treasury and welcoming the Crown of Thorns, Saint Louis also carried out judicial reforms in southern France after returning from the Holy Land. This was not only administrative reform and anti-corruption, but more importantly, it made the activities of the king's judicial officials more relevant. To the feudal nobles, he punished the blasphemy of God, the Virgin and the saints within the kingdom.

Since the Gregorian Reform, "truth" has become the core of the Christian world, and St. Louis has also legislated to safeguard truth. While establishing religious authority, he also popularized the equality of everyone before the law, regardless of nobles or commoners.

After St. Louis, chroniclers praised his monarchy as "a lesson from the monarch". He judged cases quickly with justice and mercy, did not abuse the legal system, and everyone got "what he deserved", regardless of the poor. Bread is still the punishment of sinners.

In fact, Georgiana does not want a constitutional monarchy at all. In the process of modernization, what is needed is people who do practical things. In the more than 150 years since Napoleon's death, France has experienced many turmoils, but the judicial accountability system he established has remained unchanged.

That was what Pomona saw in a French library in the 20th century. This judicial system existed to a certain extent even during the Vichy government, but she never thought it would be useful at the time, so she translated it. After flipping through it, he threw the boring book aside.

She was still a woman who loved dating and love.

She was happy to be fully committed to a relationship, and although she occasionally felt something was wrong, she quickly ignored it.

If there was a man who was willing to change himself for Lily like James, she would feel very lucky. Of course, she had also thought that if someone remained indifferent no matter how he changed, it was because she no longer loved him.

Lily didn't love James, so she gave all her feelings to Harry, activated magic with her unconditional love, and deflected Avada's Kedavra.

Chateaubriand said that Brussels’ old aristocratic women still hid their lovers in salons. Georgiana fully understood that if the SS came, she would lie to protect her guerrilla lover hiding in the box, even if she was found out she would be shot.

Of course, if he wasn't hiding in the box, but somewhere else, she wouldn't be lying if she said she didn't know where he was hiding.

What she wants to express is that it is not her mission to protect children. If she were that kind of person, she would not let her children go to the battlefield to defend the magic school, even if they have reached the "appropriate age".

What can make her burn is not selfless maternal love.

Love is always selfish. It makes people long for everything the lover has, and she longs for a clear self, as Nietzsche said, not to lose herself in love.

If she was just a fat and kind-hearted witch, then she wouldn't have to worry so much. She spent the first half of her life in books and studying, waiting for a hybrid Veela to appear in her closed world.

She didn't know whether she was imagining or infatuated, thinking that she was a beauty like her, and then she had such a ridiculous dream.

Gold does not shine. If it could shine, it would have been dug out of the ground by people following the light. Most of the time, it is hidden deep and no one cares about it.

It was a kind of pain, and now she has experienced another kind of pain. She thought she had broken through one difficulty after another, but she found that she was actually Sisyphus pushing a boulder. She was still pushing a stone that could not reach the top. Stone.

She didn't know how long Bonaparte could hold on. After leaving her comfort zone, he went to the city for activities, and dating her became a secret.

He was once so poor that he only had his sword and cloak, but now he had a ceremonial sword set with the Regent's Diamond. The green sword was equally fascinating to her as the ruby ​​on the Sword of Gryffindor.

Now she also had a sword, a ceremonial sword with a pink rose pattern and the other half of the Regent's diamond, which she had been admiring after Sieyes left.

She wanted to write something on the mirror-like sword with lipstick. It would be interesting.

"Madam, the carriage is ready," said Margaret.

"Got it." Georgiana put the sword into the scabbard, then stood up and put on the ankle-length cloak to cover the sword on her waist.
