Chapter 3376 The Tide of the Earthly World (XI)

Jousseau wrote in The Origin of Inequality Among Men: Sympathy existed long before humans began to think, and it is the most common and useful of all human qualities... Some animals will give their dead a certain kind of burial; when animals enter the slaughterhouse, they will whine, which shows that the terrible scenes they see have left them with an indelible shadow.

A new day in Paris often starts with the sound of clogs. Georgiana used to wear clogs, but the sound of clogs in the early morning was not because the streets were dirty and muddy.

On a "date", Bonaparte took Georgiana to a tavern near the Tuileries Palace, where he had hidden during the Revolution.

That time, he happened to meet a few farmers driving cattle and sheep into the city. After all, the slaughterhouse was in the city center, and he planned to move the slaughterhouse to the suburbs at that time.

The Art Bridge is a steel frame structure, which is placed on the masonry piers. The metal used to build the Art Bridge was made of cannons captured since the beginning of the revolution. The steel frame is made of bronze and cast iron. Bonaparte thought it was extremely ugly and very inconsistent with the scenery on both sides of the river, but it was impossible to demolish and rebuild it.

This new slaughterhouse is on the Montmartre Hill. When it is built, cows will not walk around on the street.

However, what makes people feel creepy is that the slaughterhouse adopts the style of a temple, and it is the ancient Egyptian god Apis (Apis).

Apis was a god of fertility a long time ago, probably in the First Dynasty. In the Ptolemaic era, he became the god of the underworld in the Memphis area, and his symbol was a cow.

With the meat consumption in Paris, in order to flush the blood and internal organs, the designers planned to use steam engines to pump water. When the slaughterhouse was planned in Rome, it was also built on the banks of the Tiber River, but the slaughterhouse at that time was generally "normal", that is, it was just a slaughterhouse.

Another reason why the new slaughterhouse in Paris is famous is that it is very expensive. It has become the second largest project in Paris after the Ourcq Canal and the docks.

Another is the Hall of the Wheat, which was built during the Louis XV period. At that time, it was a circular building around an open courtyard. In 1782, Louis XVI added a wooden vault to it, but in 1802, the wooden vault was burned down by a fire, and then it was designed to be a dome with a metal frame structure.

Georgiana closed her eyes to stop Luigi from continuing. Obviously, she couldn't close her ears like closing her eyes.

"At least the British delivered quickly." Luigi said dryly, "Belanger told me that there is not enough material now. If we want to catch up, we have to melt down a few statues."

Georgina has seen many bronze sculptures in the Louvre. Of course, it is impossible to melt the replica of the Apollo sculpture in Constantinople...

"What about the bodies? I mean..."

"They were all sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine." Luigi answered before she finished speaking.

"Oh, yes, forensic doctor." She repeated numbly, looking at the scenery outside the window.

"The story I just told, the boots were taken off an Austrian officer, and he was already stiff at the time." Luigi said, "In order to take off the shoes, the soles had to be lifted."

She couldn't help shuddering, and then glared at him.

"What you told me, no matter how bloody it is, I can accept it." Luigi shrugged.

When "cleaning the battlefield", nothing useful will be left behind.

People who died in the hospital can still be identified, but those bodies that were stripped naked cannot be identified at all.

So sometimes this happens, a person who was originally confirmed to be dead suddenly appears in the place where he once lived, like a resurrected zombie.

"Why use Apis? Why didn't anyone stop him?" Georgiana asked anxiously.

Luigi's face also became strange. "You think it's scary too?"

She thought of another "person" - Hathor, one of her images in ancient Egypt was also a cow, and she currently "lives" in the bronze statue of Frederick the Great. Generally speaking, ancient artifacts will be melted later, and modern and contemporary artworks will be melted first.

Simply put, she is now afraid that someone will accidentally melt Hathor's "residence". No one knows what will happen if the goddess goes crazy.

"Listen, about Piedmont..."

"I don't want to listen now." Georgiana shook her head.

Luigi stopped talking.

Not all gods like blood sacrifices, for example, Athena likes honey and olive oil.

But if Hathor doesn't let her get drunk, the Eye of Ra will open, and the world will be a river of blood.

Soon they arrived at the Marino Palace. Julian was still there. He put a velvet box in front of Georgiana.

"The ambassador of the Kingdom of Sardinia just came. This is his gift to you." Julian said.

She opened the box in a bad mood.

Inside was a black painted pottery bottle, on which was painted Athena holding a shield and a spear. This style of bottle is at least 2,000 years old.

"Where's Denon?" Georgiana put the bottle down carefully.

"Out." Julian looked at the bottle and asked, "Is it valuable?"

"If it's real, it can be placed in a smaller city museum as a treasure." Georgiana said half-jokingly.

"Do you want to give it to Nice?" Julian lit a cigarette and asked.

She was a little puzzled. "Why send it to Nice?"

"Do you want to keep it?" Julian asked.

"No...it's too fragile." Georgiana said regretfully. "You should notify the Nice people to take it away."

"No need to notify them, they should not have left yet." Julian said. "They want to add some manpower to the artillery."

"What artillery?" She asked subconsciously.

Julian turned around and took out a rolled-up map and spread it on the desk. "This is a map of Nice's defense line."

"I won't look at it." Georgiana said immediately.

"It's no longer confidential." Julian said.

She walked over slowly.

It was probably a river passing through Nice, covered with dense lines, covering the entire river. At first, she didn't understand it until Julian pointed to one of the "artillery" and told her that it was where more manpower was needed.

In other words, this is a layout map of the firepower network. There is a bridge on the river, and there are bridgeheads and military camps on both sides of the bridge. It seems difficult to break through.

"You asked Augereau to go to the Castle of Rivoli. He transferred people from Nice. Now they are looking for me." Julian took a puff of cigarette. "I am just an agent. I can't control this." "Can I recruit the reserve? I remember there are many veterans in Milan." Georgiana said. "This is abroad, and we don't know if they are French citizens." Julian sat on the chair. "Do you know what the reserve is?" Georgiana has a Scottish fellow countryman who invented the thresher. He was almost starving to death on the farm. Now he has an annual pension of 2,000. Although it is not as good as Chateaubriand's income, he is already very satisfied. He wants to become a French citizen. According to the current law, as long as he stays in France for a long enough time and has a tax record, it will be fine. In the early days of the Great Revolution, only the property owners could become citizens, but the National Guard embodied a social connection model that was different from the property owners. "Citizens" was introduced from Latin. The Greek word for citizen is "politai", which means "city-state people". The gender of speech is masculine. According to the definition, it is a man who actively participates in political activities. Starting in 1790, the National Guard only recruited "active citizens", that is, citizens with voting rights to become its members. Members of the Constitutional Convention, on the other hand, all registered members of the National Guard possessed the necessary characteristics of active citizens, so the right to vote and the obligation to protect became the two sides of the same coin, "Only those who enjoy the rights of active citizens can be recruited to restore domestic order when they are legally required to arm themselves." Beggars and vagrants are certainly not active citizens. They don't even have a place to live or a fixed job, let alone a tax record. But there are so many vagrants on the streets of Paris, and many of them are wearing military uniforms. At the Constitutional Convention in 1792, in order to quell the unrest in the National Guard, the National Convention passed that "French people who have participated in one or more battles for the establishment of the Republic will become citizens without any tax restrictions." In the past, there were standards for being a soldier. To be an officer, you must at least be "symmetrical". Those who are missing an eye or a leg are not allowed. Another factor is height. Those under 5 feet were rejected. But when the Revolution began, anyone who was a "patriotic citizen" could join the army. There was a "stunt cavalry company" in the hunting cavalry, and all members were under 5 feet. They served in the army from the Revolution until the establishment in 1800, and basically participated in more than 2 battles. If they were not short, they could compete with the Guards.

There are "active citizens" and "passive citizens". In ancient Greece, they usually referred to women, who were not very willing to participate in politics.

If it were in nature, predators such as wolves would first eat the old, weak, sick and disabled sheep and cattle, so that the sheep and cattle would be mostly young and strong animals. Some bulls and rams would come forward to repel calves and lambs when they were attacked by predators, because these young animals might be their offspring.

Humans would choose young and good meat, just as it is written in the book of Ezekiel: The shepherd only knows how to feed himself, eat fat, wear wool, and kill the fat and strong.

If the weak are not strengthened, the sick are not treated, the injured are not bandaged, and the expelled are not brought back, the "flock" will not be able to actively follow the lion to defeat the "lion group" led by a sheep.

How to keep the sheep active is a compulsory course for the prince.

At the same time, the "shepherd" also has his own compulsory courses. St. Gregory wrote in the "Shepherd's Book" that when a hand washes the dirt of others, the clean hand cannot be clean, but if it is a dirty hand, how can it touch the dirt of others?

So the shepherd should be clean, but not too clean or too pure.

This is the price of wearing red clothes, "Fat Friar"... No, Protasius is good at being a saint in a small place.

She is even more ridiculous, and she actually took Richelieu as a "role model".

She doesn't hate Lily... Mrs. Potter just cut off her retreat.

What is depravity? Batman clearly has a bottom line in his heart, and he should stick to it, but he gave up for various reasons. Like the Joker, he has no bottom line, or like Two-Face, he finds legitimate reasons for himself.

Snape acted out a play with Dumbledore at his request. Even euthanasia has a procedure. Dumbledore is a man of good reputation. He designed his final heroic ending, but put Snape in the position of a "murderer".

Snape kept saying "Don't push me". He knew what would happen if he crossed that line.

She came here to play. How could she interfere in a man's affairs?

"Give this vase to the Nice people." She thought for a long time and said, "I won't see them. What else did the Sardinians say besides giving gifts?"

"You accepted gifts from others. How about meeting them?" Julian said.

"In the afternoon." Georgiana said helplessly, "I just had a quarrel with Magenta."

"What did we quarrel about?" Julian asked casually.

"He thought I was going to... Never mind." Georgiana turned around and walked out and said, "I'm going to write a letter. This is all a misunderstanding."
