Chapter 3259 new castle (1)

Human vision is easily affected by perception, whether objective or subjective, but machines are not.

There is a game where a group of people line up in a row, and the person behind draws a picture on the back of the person in front. The person in front draws on the back of the person in front based on their own feelings. When the last person is drawn, the person in front draws. The things are usually very different from the initial ones.

If possible, Georgiana would be willing to install a camera. Although this would reduce privacy, at least it would not be reported in a garbled way.

After coming down from the previous hotel room, Miss Chevigny came unexpectedly. Under the supervision of her husband, she danced ballet in the "lobby".

Although she has passed the golden age of ballerinas, her dancing postures and movements are still very graceful, but she lacks the sense of power of Miss Campini.

She was accompanied by music from next door, not far from the Comédie-France.

Georgiana couldn't appreciate ballet, but that didn't stop her from watching Mademoiselle Chevigny thinking about her own things.

Louis XIV left his mark on France and even the whole world. His splendor made him dazzling, leaving an "impression" on visitors just like the mark left on a wax block.

His life was like a big drama, and Versailles was the "big scene" he built for himself.

Georgiana didn't think she could stay in such a big hotel alone. When Bonaparte spoke just now, there were echoes everywhere and it sounded too spacious.

That's why the princess next door hires so many servants and surrounds herself with them.

But that's not the life Georgiana wants.

She took Bonaparte's arm and went downstairs. Arrighi first noticed them, and then Mademoiselle Chevigny stopped dancing.

Georgiana really needed an architect to decorate it for her so that when she returned from Italy she wouldn't have no place to live but in the botanical gardens.

But one thing she has learned now is that the School of Architecture is right next door to Farron's studio, and she can actually go there to interview other designers.

Many people are waiting for the opportunity to stand out, and now she can also be a "sponsor".

Rousseau said that desire originates from our needs, and the development of desire also depends on the accumulation of our knowledge, because we know these concepts, or originate from simple impulses of nature, otherwise we would not like or fear anything, the only thing we fear There is only pain and hunger.

We won’t know until June whether this year’s food harvest will continue to be poor. When she first came to this world, she heard Fouche say that some people sold them abroad when they were facing famine.

In the past, some people dumped the grain arriving in Toulon into the sea, but grain and spices are not the same thing after all, even though the Dutch burned spices in Amsterdam in 1766 to keep the price high.

Citizens who had lived through the Revolution and the Terror protected the hard-won peace and took the initiative to report on smugglers.

Throwing big feasts and splurging on decorations during difficult times is bound to cause dissatisfaction, but so many people need jobs.

The king can give meat bones to the people eating at the table, or to the dogs under the table. This is his right to control. When he exercises this power and makes people or dogs feel satisfied with food, he himself will also feel it. Happy.

No one is happy with this metaphor. People have the same control over animals. The shepherd can decide which one to slaughter tonight, the fat sheep or the lamb.

Fat sheep are treated like fat sheep, and lamb chops are treated like lamb chops. The sheep that are not chosen will not be afraid or frightened, let alone angry and want to avenge their companions.

Furies represented conscience in ancient Greece, but Georgiana did not feel that this was an appropriate name for the new castle.

Arrighi suggested calling it the "Hunting Palace" because there was a sculpture of the god Artemis outside.

Julian Uffral said with a silly smile, leaving it to her to think. After Georgiana thought for a while, she decided to use Vulcan, the Roman name of the god of fire, as the new name of the palace.

"Why this name?" Bougainville asked.

"Machine." Georgiana looked up at the glass above her head and the surrounding buildings. "Rousseau said that humans and animals are both sophisticated machines. The difference is the operator who operates the machine. Vulcan is good at making things."

No one spoke.

"Why not use his Greek name?" asked Bonaparte.

Because it reminds me so much of Troy.

Georgiana thought in her heart, but said it in her mouth.

"The name is too long, Vulcan should be pronounced shorter."

Everyone laughed.

"Okay, let's call her Vulcan." Bonaparte kissed her and said, "I'm going back."

Then he left in full view of everyone.

"What's going on over there in Italy?" Georgiana asked expressionlessly.

Miss Cheverny's husband walked away consciously, the three of them looked at each other, and finally it was Arrighi who spoke.

After the mysterious death of the Grand Duke of Parma last year, the ownership of the Principality of Parma was ceded to the French Republic. The Grand Duke of Parma's son Ferdinand still lives a ducal life.

On October 16, 1802, the Seny Mountain Road was repaired, and Murat, who was stationed in Milan, went to inspect it. When he crossed the Alps for the second time, he stopped at the St. Bernard Almshouse. Murat stopped there briefly and the monks He was given a warm welcome.

During their stay, the monks expressed their desire to obtain a statue of Bonaparte, and Murat promised to give them one and some money to the almshouse.

Originally, the matter ended here, but after arriving in Turin, Murat and his party were received by the local civil and religious leaders. He mentioned the matter, and then Murat said, "With these good leaders, Piper It would be great if Emont was annexed to France."

The Principality of Parma is adjacent to Piedmont. If it were to annex Piedmont as Murat said, would it still be necessary to establish the Shannan Alpine Republic?

Murat initially maintained a good relationship with Melzi and the government of the Italian Republic. He was outspoken and enthusiastic. He once said impassionedly that the new name "Italian Republic" would bury all the misfortunes of the past. "This name will evoke in your souls a precious dignity, a powerful reminder of the beloved virtues and carefully cultivated arts that have long existed in Italy."

But he did spend money too quickly. As Commander-in-Chief of the French Army in Italy, Murat's monthly salary had increased to 40,000 francs; he also received 30,000 francs in addition to his salary as a "special allowance", as well as a palace in Milan as a residence. But this was obviously not enough. On December 15, 1801, through an agent in Paris, he bought the Chateau La Motte-Saint-Helayuer in the Deux Sèvres region for 470,000 francs. In January 1802, On the 12th, he spent 500,000 francs to buy the Palace of Trusson as his personal house in Paris; this is one of the best houses in Paris, built by the French architect Ledoux for the then wealthy banker Trusson. 's mansion. It covers courtyards and gardens and has two doors, one leading to the Avenue de Provence and the other to the Rue Victory.

Caroline spent 130,000 francs on furniture, a million in four months. When Hortense and Louis got married, Murat gave him generous gifts. Then came the expenses for banquets and entertainment every day during his stay in Paris, and his plan to buy the Elysee Palace. The good-tempered Melzi finally couldn't help but fall out.

In fact, this is a small sum compared to the 20 million francs Napoleon extorted Milan for military expenses. The generals of the Republic during the ruling era found ways to accumulate considerable wealth, and Murat was one of the most successful people in this regard.

The first is that he always wants to run to Paris, even if Caroline comes.

Second, he was unwilling to be Melzi's subordinate. Instead, he seemed to regard Melzi as his "butler."

The daily life of Murat and Caroline consisted of reviewing during the day and attending balls and banquets in the afternoon and evening. He always felt that he was not sufficiently respected at public ceremonies, social occasions, balls and banquets.

Finally, there is his speech about Piedmont after inspecting the Senesi Mountain. Melzi formally expressed his attitude to him, and then Murat wrote to Napoleon that quite a few groups in Italy were disappointed with his policies. They longed to unify Italy and establish a republic with Rome as its capital, and they regarded the First Consul as a reactionary because the latter not only retained the Kingdom of Naples and the Papal Domain, but also wanted to establish a new kingdom in Tuscany.

"Didn't I remember that Tuscany exchanged Louisiana with Spain?" said Georgiana.

"What did Napoleonius tell you?" asked Arrighi.

He said, asking her to show interest in Tuscany.

Georgiana whispered inwardly.

"How about we buy some furniture and come in first?" Julian said, holding his waist, "How tired are you standing and talking?"

So she called Miss Chevini's husband over and asked him to quickly set up a dining room. Anyway, the dining table was no different from the conference table. That was how the Order of the Phoenix used to be.
