Chapter 3378 The Tide of the Earthly World (Thirteen)

After Georgiana changed her clothes and left the room, she did not see the Sardinian envoy immediately, because General Laubart, the Italian chief engineer, came. He was the engineer who was captured by Austria while surveying the defense line from Nice to Savory. .

He brought several drawings, the most important of which was the Ligurian Corniche. The ancient Romans once built a via Julia Augusta, and it was Augustus who conquered the Southern Alps. When completed, its main function was to link the Po plain with Gaul, where it probably turned near what is now Savoley, entered the Maritime Alps, and then reached Piacenza and Parma.

This road has become impassable in many places due to its age and disrepair, and only a few pilgrims still use it. Due to the rise of maritime transport, almost all cities and towns in coastal areas use sea routes.

Bonaparte's instruction was to build a road from Tunis to Monto first. This road was not along the seaside, but halfway up the mountain.

"Is it necessary to repair it now?" Georgiana asked General Laubart.

"I'm just telling you that this project exists." Laubart rolled up the drawing and seemed to be taking it away. "I heard that someone came from Nice just now?"

She was speechless for a long time.

"I think you don't need to pay too much attention... Come and take a look at this." Laubart unfolded another drawing, which was another dense "net drawing".

"What is this?" asked Georgiana.

"There are several private parties in the Turin water supply system. They have established a water company and hope to subcontract part of it from us." Laubart pointed to several points and said, "In addition, they will also be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the pipeline network in the future. "

"Looks like you've taken care of it," Georgiana said.

Laubart shook his head.

"I'm handing over this part to you now. Do you think there's anything else you need?" Laubart asked.

She looked at him dumbfounded.

"We have ordered more caissons. Do you want to send them to Paris?" Laubart said softly, "The Wheat Hall seems to be in great need of steel."

"Oh, yes! Thank you." Georgiana suddenly realized.

Laubat smiled at her and left with the confidential drawings.

After he left, Georgiana continued to look at the drawings.

Thanks to the Via Giulia-Auguste, Genoa was perfectly bypassed, and it was not until shipping began to become popular that Genoa became prosperous again.

Since the 11th century, Genoa has been fighting for control of Sardinia and Corsica, but in 1720, the Savoy royal family exchanged Sicily for Sardinia, and Savoy's territory was concentrated in northwest Italy. department.

Savoy obtained Sicily in exchange with Austria, and all this was related to the War of Spanish Succession.

The previous king and queen of Sardinia were very loving, but they left no heirs. After the king died in 1802, the throne was inherited by his brother.

The new king had participated in the Anti-French Alliance War, but he refused when Napoleon asked him to take over Piedmont. Now he sent an envoy and sent a vase to Georgiana.

Who wants to travel to a place of suffering? No matter how bad the waiter is, he should wear a professional smile when working.

However, it was probably difficult to make Snape laugh. Later, after he became the principal of Hogwarts, the school was no longer full of joy. The atmosphere in the school was like a prison, worse than a Muggle high school.

Although serious love makes Karna reluctant to leave, if she is always so serious, her marriage will lose its happiness. Karna thought she would bring joy, but she didn't expect that her joy would be taken away from her. It was difficult for her to be happy again.

Bella will laugh when she kills, and she uses her power freely, but even she has love. When Voldemort disappeared for the first time, she used the Cruciatus Curse on the Longbottoms in order to torture him and find out his whereabouts.

No one told Georgiana where the prison from Grand Chateau had been moved. There passed Katush, and they have been like Robin Hood, and many stories have been created by authors.

Hobbes said that anyone who calls a king a tyrant will justify his regicide and eliminate violence legally.

Caligula was recognized as a tyrant, but some also called him a reformer. He gave all free men the status of Roman citizens, although he did so only to raise money.

Of course, Roman citizens did not have to pay the poll tax, but he raised the inheritance tax to 10%. The inheritance tax was only levied on Roman citizens.

In the past, Roman citizenship required military merit in exchange for military merit. Caligula's actions seriously damaged the sense of honor of Roman citizens.

It is an honor to build Roman roads. They were built by the Roman legions themselves. The supervisors even named the roads after themselves. This kind of revision of laws and quality of construction is carried out regardless of cost, but no one has set up checkpoints to collect tolls.

In order to raise money for themselves, the army set up private checkpoints and charged high tolls, even though they were no different from bandits in the eyes of the people.

In the end, both the army and road construction were replaced by the northern barbarians.

What if Georgiana now wrote to Bonaparte and told Bonaparte that the Blue Devil had burst into her bedroom while she was changing her clothes? How would he react?

Although she smiled, she didn't feel happy at all.

The fable of the bees says that people who respect honor are always regarded as fair and wise people; the same is true for loyalty. Who would think that a traitor is worthy of praise?

However, Lily told Sev that it was for James' sake that he saved his life.

When Sev chose to be loyal to Lily, he lacked the courage that a person who values honor must have.

No matter how much like the real sword of Gryffindor he imitated, it was still fake. When Bella provoked him, he signed an unbreakable oath with Narcissa to prove that he was not a coward.

This assumption also did not make her happy. What could make her laugh?

It was so difficult for her to make herself happy, let alone ask others to make her happy.

It was really unexpected that she could be so happy when playing dog sledding before, but now she couldn't laugh.

At this time, she remembered the music in the third class cabin of the Titanic, so she stood up, made sure there was no one around, and danced according to her imagination.

If she was seen like this, people would definitely think she was a lunatic.

But as she danced, she found that there were many more people around her. They surrounded her and applauded her, and everyone had a kind smile on their face.

She felt good about herself and even wanted to learn to tap dance from Jack, but found that her feet were really inflexible.

"What new dance is this?" a man standing at the door said.

Georgiana looked up, then remembered that she had lifted up her skirt, and quickly put it down.

"I didn't call you, why are you here?" Georgiana frowned.

"I just came to ask you when to meet the Sardinian envoy." Stanley said, "I heard that you are alone now."

"Wait a minute." Georgiana said, she wanted to enjoy this happiness again.

"Okay." Stanley said, and walked in.

"What are you doing?" She subconsciously took a step back.

"Dancing the dance you just danced." Stanley said, spreading his hands. "What should I do now?"

She hesitated for a while.

"There is not even music here." She complained.

Stanley spread his hands, as if giving up his sudden idea.
