Chapter 3310 Shadow of the Mountain (4)

In fact, after Georgiana thought about it, Bessière also served as a gendarme, and he never reminded her of Mussolini.

When she was planning to buy a house in Italy in the 20th century, a real estate agent took her to see a fascist house. It was in good condition, but no one bought it no matter how cheap it was.

She shook her head and recorded what she saw today. Her memory was not good and she might forget it at some point.

There has never been a fixed crossing point on the Po River. When Bonaparte crossed the Alps twice, he did not bring any materials to build a pontoon bridge. When he chose to cross the river from Piacenza in 1797, some people commented that he should not cross there. They have different viewpoints and tactical considerations, but I don’t know if they have investigated the plans that they think are feasible and whether these places have the conditions for building bridges, including hydrology and construction materials.

The flood season of the Po River lasts for nine months. The tributaries originating from the Alps will pour melted glaciers and snowwater into the Po River in late spring and early summer. In summer, floods caused by heavy rains will cause new flood peaks. Both Mutual adjustment makes the Po River's wet season longer and the dry season closer to late summer and early autumn, and navigation below Turin is possible.

The place she just looked at was a 13-span masonry bridge. It was located in the suburbs and was separated from the city by a ring of fortifications. These forts and gates had been demolished, and the stone was used to repair the piers. If the piers were 5 spans, The distance between them will be wider, the steel structure will be lighter than stone, and the height of the arch will be increased so that ships can pass.

Stone bridges require a large amount of stone. In addition to Turin, Milan also has urban planning. Melzi stopped two projects because neither the stone nor the funds could keep up.

Stone needs to be quarried, and stone cutting is no stranger to Italians. They cut so many stones during the Renaissance, but applied mechanics should be new to them. This is a course at Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, accounting for 20 of the class hours of architecture students. %, and Dean Bain also hopes that students will continue to study after graduation and use as many special purposes as possible to increase the knowledge base of applied mechanics.

"Architecture is like music, combining individual notes to form a ensemble."

This is what Carnot told her. Although his son is going to study at the Polytechnic in Paris, he is not majoring in architecture.

To find a stable ferry where the bridge can be constructed and which is also aesthetically pleasing to the city, this is where the site is now selected. In addition to dismantling the fortifications, the city also had to be cleared, and there were dense settlements and "resort vineyards" on the hills across the river. This is the obsession of Europeans with vineyards. Malfoy also has a vineyard in France. If the climate in the UK was not suitable, there would be a vineyard in Malfoy Manor. So although the bridge is currently located in the suburbs, it is still a large project that requires a huge investment of capital and labor. At the same time, the bridge also provides an important experience opportunity for the local technical culture.

The Savoy royal family was not popular in Turin. Soon after the French arrived, the royal family fled and Piedmont was incorporated into France.

Due to various factors, not all silk workers are willing to work as construction workers for their livelihood.

The purpose of Napoleon's implementation of cadastre was to promote equality. Everyone must pay taxes. There is no privileged class that does not pay taxes.

The Piedmontese understanding of cadastre was pragmatic. In the practice of Savoy and Tricia in the eighteenth century, specific cadastres could solve some very practical problems. The French were unwilling to accept this and had precise requirements for data. Too high to individually describe every small piece of land that belongs to a single owner and has a single farming purpose.

A piece of land was sometimes owned by several people, and the surveyor was limited to the boundaries of the farmland without regard to the owners' subdivisions.

In fact, a census of personal land properties in Piedmont had already been conducted in 1798. The cost of the war made people strongly feel that it was impossible for an individual to face huge neighboring countries.

But this is like a person who is used to writing with his right hand, but is forced to switch to his left hand. Not only does the font of left hand writing not look good, but it is also very uncomfortable. He will subconsciously want to change back to his old habit, not to mention forcing him to switch to his left hand. What practical use does writing have for him?

Georgiana's initial idea was that if the Piedmontese didn't want to change, and the French would be tired of forcing it, it would be better to send all Turin's surveyors and professors directly to France. The net income from the land was not only crops, but also talents. Anyway, The French even kidnapped the Pope.

There was no enclosure movement in France. The British agriculturist Arthur Young was almost hanged. He survived because he had a pass issued by Bonaparte.

Bonaparte had plenty to talk about, but that day when they dined together he and Arthur Young chatted dryly about beer, for he really didn't know much about agriculture.

But before she did that, she still hoped to send an envoy to the University of Turin to talk about exchange scholars. She initially wanted to leave this matter to Denon.

But her thoughts then turned to Catherine Bonaparte, Murat's wife and Napoleon's sister. Is it feasible for her to do this?

It would definitely be more suitable for Polina and Delmid to live in Catherine's house than here, and what reason would Georgiana have for not following her to Milan?

Not only the Piedmontese, Pomona, who knows history, also remembers that Italy was finally annexed by France, as well as the Republic of Batavia. It was not just the French who did this in this era. The United States also tried to purchase Louisiana. Russia was encroaching on Georgia. The Caucasus Mountains were also a "natural border". The British conquered the independent Mysore in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War. The kingdom collapsed into princely states, with most of the territory divided between the East India Company and Hyderabad.

She recalled that the Sultan approached France for help, but the end result was that Home Popham was accused of spending too much of his budget on repairing warships in Calcutta, while he was on the orders of the Governor of Bengal to negotiate trade in the Red Sea.

Calcutta was under the governance of the Governor of Bengal. Cornwallis had served as the Governor of Bengal before. Before he left, he left behind a "Permanent Chamindar Tenancy Act". Before this, Bengalis had never heard of private ownership of land. .

Subjects farmed the land of the king or emperor, and the local hereditary nobles, after being conquered by a higher monarch, became intermediaries between the land and the emperor in serving the new order. Their reward was to obtain Chamindar land for living, both for Supporting the Zamindars and their family businesses, it was also an area where surplus harvests were managed and collected for the purpose of contributing to the empire's treasury.

A soldier was sometimes granted tax collection rights over a zaghir, a non-hereditary fiefdom, but whatever the origin and exact nature of the "intermediary," he was not given the power to sell the land, nor to force those under him to Farmers who cultivate land under supervision leave the land they believe they have cultivated for generations and depended on for their livelihood.

Cornwallis's tenancy system allowed those with land deeds to dispose of the land as they pleased as long as they paid a fixed and permanently limited annual tax to the East India Company. For Indians under Company rule, it was associated with private ownership. The concept of authority, and especially the prohibition of others from entering one's own land, gradually became clearer.

So, what exactly are you doing?

She touched her neck. There were two chains on it. One was tied to a snowflake locket with a red stone inside, and the other was an eye-shaped pendant with a green peridot on it.

This look must be very strange, especially since she originally had a black swan necklace.

Just as she was about to take off one, there were footsteps outside the door.

A messenger came in with a bundle of letters in his hand.
