Chapter 3324 White and Lucky Star (10)

Walking along the entrance of the Dora Valley near Rivoli, you will reach a small town called Susa. There are two forked roads in this town, one going south, and then continuing south after reaching a place called Brijanson. Walk, go west after reaching a place called Gap, leave the mountains from Valence, and then go north along the ancient Roman road to reach Lyon.

This is limited by ancient engineering methods. There was a section of tunnel on the Simplon Mountain Road that was first built, and even explosives were used. However, before the advent of nitroglycerin, the blasting effect of black powder was just that, and it may not be as good as Hanni. The method used to heat the rock and then cool it down quickly.

Another direction is from Turin to the north, that is, when Georgiana left the Alps, the town called Ifreya had another branch after reaching Aosta. The one she took entered from Lausanne. The only road is the Geneva Mountain Road, a section that is particularly rugged and difficult to navigate. It was a trail in ancient Rome and was specially used for military use.

Go west at the Aosta fork to Courmayeur, then go south to Moutiers and Albertville to reach Vienne. In ancient Roman times, it was called vienna, the same as Vienna in Austria. name. In order to distinguish it, Vienne changed its current name.

After arriving here, it is also very close to Lyon. Before the construction of the Cerny Mountain Road, this road was the main transportation channel for raw silk in Piedmont. Now that the Cerni Road is repaired, they will enter the Alps from the Rivoli entrance in Turin, and head north in Susa to the small town of Monisio. There is a lake near the town called Lake Senni. After crossing it, you will reach an ancient Roman road that only exists in documents. It has long since disappeared without a trace. But when Napoleon inspected the Little St. Bernard Pass, he felt that it could be repaired, and then this road appeared.

Not only the Great St. Bernard has a search and rescue monastery, but the Little St. Bernard also has one. Compared with the Cerny Mountain Road, neither the Simplon nor the Geneva Mountain Road has much commercial value, and the chance of returning the money is not high.

Similarly, the Seny Mountain Road has nothing to do with the Swiss Canton of Valais. Unless the Geneva Mountain Road needs to be "borrowed" after it is repaired, they do not overlap geographically.

Mulberry trees are different from other plants. What humans need are their leaves, which carry out photosynthesis.

Although mulberry trees can be fertilized any time of year, spring fertilizer is especially important. Many plants will germinate in spring and require iron during the production of chlorophyll. After growing into adult leaves, the leaves will remain green regardless of the lack of iron. On the contrary, the young leaves will turn yellow. Spring silkworms eat the young leaves. These young leaves are the most nutritious, so the silk spun by spring silkworms is also the most expensive.

The special commissioner of Habo Province was very busy. He knew the captain who had nothing to do during peacetime. But if whoever touches him will be in trouble, then Magenta has nothing to say.

I was already busy with cadastral matters. Once the cadastral is completed, taxes will also change. The French, on the other hand, changed their political power in a matter of days. The law promulgated by the Directory in 1798 was originally carried out by a committee in Piedmont based on the field of tax reform. In June 1802, preparations were almost complete, and in November a new decree abandoned the original regulations and required geometric measurements based on "cultural quality."

Anyway, this meal was very exciting, but everyone was still restrained. After the meal, Magenta was "escorted" by the honor guard back to his residence in Milan.

After plundering Rome, the Shannan Gauls were unwilling to return to their hometown in Gaul because wars broke out there frequently. It was not until Caesar pacified Gaul that there was peace.

When the Jacobin newspapers in Pavia incited the "Romans", they probably forgot that there was an ancient Roman colony north of the Rubicon. There are two ancient Roman avenues, Via Emilia and Via Bobiglia, which will meet in Rimini, and north of Rimini is the Rubicon River.

Before Caesar, the region north of the Alps was a source of fear to Rome, and the Marian reforms were in response to this threat.

Once fear was removed, the Romans worked hard to make these passes through the Alpine system safer and easier.

In fact, the Romans didn't like change that much, so they called their capital the Eternal City.

However, even those stone buildings will become dilapidated over time.

Now that the two most important suspects have been met, she doesn't want to struggle with this matter anymore. She wants to make herself happy.

Didn’t Chiconyara say that champagne would be waiting for her? So Georgiana called Denon and went with her to visit Leopold's house.

There are more people on the street during the day than at night, but they are also in a hurry and not many people stay or hang out on the street.

To be honest, she doesn't like this kind of atmosphere either. How can a woman not want to live peacefully?

"This pocket watch was given to you by General Murat?" Denon said, looking at the pocket watch on her waist.

"Yes." She answered subconsciously.

"Then what are you going to give him as a gift in return?" Denon asked.

"What?" she asked confused.

Denon considered it.

"General Murat didn't like others disrespecting him. He once had a colleague who offered to lend money to General Murat, but he refused because that person had conspired to frame him, saying that he was a noble." De Nong said.

"Do you think he asked me to borrow money as a sign of friendship?" Georgiana sneered, "How many people know that I lent him money?"

"In this case, I don't think it is wise to distance ourselves from each other. As Cicero said, friendship requires mutual respect."

"Does respect require a return gift?" Georgiana said worriedly.

"If he wants command, why not give it to him?" Denon said.

"I only have one company of Chasseurs and Honor Guard," Georgiana said.

"And the gendarmes, and the scene you staged at Murat's house." Denon said softly. "How do you plan to end it?"

She didn't think too much, after all, it wasn't written in the book, and the power to collect troops was not as simple as collecting clothes.

Anyway, that's how they ended up at Chiconyala's house.

As soon as their carriage stopped, Chiconyala came out of the house with a warm smile on his face.

In contrast, although Magenta's attitude was unfriendly, he was much more sincere than him.

"Welcome." Chiconyala said happily, as if meeting an old friend who had known him for many years.

"Do you have Piedmont wine here? I suddenly don't want to drink Burgundy today." Georgiana said.

"Of course there is, but I suggest you don't add water when tasting it, so you won't be able to taste the unique smell of the wine." Ciconiala said.

"I think Dionysus will forgive us." Denon continued. "He does not ask us to be temperate at all times."

"Is that settled?" Chiconyara said.

"Of course," said Georgiana.

So they entered the home of Ciconiara, whose manor was located on the outskirts of Milan and was a neighbor of Melchi.

He said that he had a library. There were really so many books, about the same size as half of the Hogwarts library. There were other people borrowing from this private library.

"You only said you wanted me to wait for you at home, but you didn't say no one else could come in." Ciconiala explained to Georgiana.

She really wasn't expecting it, but she just smiled and continued wandering around the library.

Most of these books are about art and architecture, and there are also marble sculptures placed between the bookshelves.

"Compared with the library of the Louvre, which one do you think is better?" Denon suddenly asked.

At this time, she accidentally saw a book introducing Turin, so she picked it up casually. Unfortunately, she did not understand Italian. She could only tell from the illustration that it seemed to be an introduction to the construction process of a church.

"This book is about the construction of the Juperga church," Ciconiala said. "It is located on a hill and was the residence of the King of Savoy when he retired."

This is a beautiful Baroque church, even Georgiana believed it was the royal palace.

"It is part of the protective magic of Turin," added Ciconiara.

"Similar to the White Magic Triangle?" Georgiana asked casually.

"No, please follow me," said Chiconyala, leading them to the next room, where there were many measured maps.

She had no doubt that the surveyors working here had also been to the topographical office in Palazzo Brera, for they were identical.

Chiconyara spread out a drawing.

“In each of these five places in the city, there is a royal building,” Chiconyara said, drawing circles on the picture with a pencil. “And then they constitute this.”

He connected these circles to form a huge five-pointed star that could cover the entire Turin.

"Venus?" Denon said in surprise.

Georgiana looked at where the five circles were.

One is the Juperga Church that I just saw, and the other is the Stuplin Hunting Palace where Bonaparte lived. Miraculously, the Savoy royal family likes to hold weddings here instead of in the church.

The other three are the Castle of Regia, the Castle of Moncallia and the Castle of Rivoli. Rather than deliberately planning them to form a five-pointed star, it is better that they happen to be in these locations to form a five-pointed star.

"Do you think this is black magic or white magic, Georgiana?" Ciconiala asked.

She looked at him.

For a moment she thought he was some vampire wandering the castle alone.

"I want to visit these places, is that okay?" Georgiana said.

"Then we are leaving Milan for Turin. You haven't been to any of the fun places in Milan," Ciconiala said.

"How about you take us for a walk in the afternoon?" Georgiana said.

"But then I'm leaving home."

"It's no foul if you stay with me," she said with a smile, and wandered around the library.
