Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 3286 Orchard Dream (4)

Henry Redout is on duty in the library today. He is the younger brother of Pierre Redout, the "Raphael of the Flowers", who traveled to Egypt with Napoleon.

Because now there are secrets in the library, someone needs to be on duty. The Botanical Garden is actually not far from "Quail Hill". Georgiana has been there once. It is the center of the printing and dyeing industry and the leather industry in Paris. Many workers work there, which also leads them to find a place to live nearby.

The botanical garden used to be of little value, and there was no need to worry about anyone thinking about it. Now it needs to strengthen its defenses, especially the news about upland cotton.

In fact, 90% of the existing territory of the United States already covers the Sea Island cotton belt. Only a small area beyond the 97th longitude can still be planted, especially the area from Little Rock to St. Louis, where there is no defense from the Missouri River and Red River. Boundaries can only be demarcated by boundary markers.

She came to the large conference room. The walls were covered with maps, making it look like a combat headquarters, which annoyed her.

She felt that she was unknowingly becoming less and less like her original self. The Raymond brothers often went to Malmaison's greenhouse to sketch. The flowers looked delicate and in need of care.

Hogwarts has dungeons, and in the Middle Ages lords could keep prisoners in their own castles after trials, as did the Duke's Castle in Ghent.

The Bridge of Sighs in Venice connects the court and the prison. There is a "Trading Bridge" between the Chateau and Chatelais. It was built because of the rise of the exchange industry in the 12th century.

At first, only the Chateau de Petit Chateau served as a prison. Later, when the castle was filled with prisoners, the prisoners who had been tried in Petit Chateau would walk along the Exchange Bridge to the other side and be imprisoned in Grand Chateau.

At present, that place has become the smelliest place in Paris. In addition to the dirty and crowded market, part of the former prison has been converted into a corpse dump, whether it is dead bodies fished out of the Seine River or corpses of unknown causes. They were all sent there, as well as the livestock slaughterhouse. The butchers would throw blood and animal offal into the gutter. These semi-solidified things were washed into the nearby streets and alleys by the gutter, causing a rotten atmosphere to spread throughout the area. The smell caused the carriages to go around that place.

But it is located on the Seine River and next to Rivoli Street. According to the plan, even though they are separated by a river, the Bourbon Palace on the left bank must be symmetrical with the Madeleine Church on the right bank, not to mention the Grand Chateau which also belongs to the right bank. coming.

To tear it down and rebuild it into an Italianate opera house would require a lot of demolition and planning. Of course, Georgiana just made a suggestion to Fontaine that he could find another place.

She selected a map of Europe from the rolled-up maps and laid it on the table.

Churchill once delivered the "Iron Curtain" speech, which divided Europe into two regions from Stettin on the Baltic Sea to Trieste on the Adriatic Sea.

Trieste is easy to find, it is right next to Venice, which used to be the border of the Ottoman Empire.

Then she looked north of the Alps. The Rhine League and Switzerland had almost formed a "buffer zone" between France and Austria. They were no longer directly bordering each other, but Venice belonged to Austria.

Those poems posted everywhere said that transferring Venice to Austria was an act of "betrayal". Who did this "betrayal" refer to?

The Directory was unwilling to hand over Venice. Compared with Venice, Trieste was more suitable as Austria's outlet to the sea.

That area was also called Dalmatia, which became the territory of Venice after the fall of the Byzantine Empire. During this period, it changed hands many times between Venice and Hungary, and then followed the wind of Bora to the south, which is Albania.

She had a headache just looking at this picture, so she turned around and took out another world map.

The colony established by Bougainville originally had little commercial value, because it was located at the southern tip of the South American continent and had to cross the Strait of Magellan. If the Suez Canal was accessible, why did it go around the Cape of Good Hope?

But if the French, like the Spanish, sailed from the Pacific islands to South America, they would not go to the Straits of Magellan but to the Gulf of Mexico, which would go through Panama. Although there is no canal now, wooden rails can be built to pass.

The trouble is that after entering the Caribbean, there are only a few outlets to the sea. The Florida Strait is choked by Nassau, followed by the Windward Channel of Santo Domingo and Trinidad.

When signing the Treaty of Amiens, the British proposed to exchange Trinidad for several cities to set up free ports, all of which were located on the South American continent.

They were free ports. The docking of British ships did not violate Spain's control of South America, but the French refused. Who would trade so many cities for a worthless Trinidad?

The Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico cannot get out, so we have to go through the Strait of Magellan. Then there is the issue of continental shelf delimitation.

You can actually try to cross the Amazon River, but that means passing through the tropical rainforest.

The Peruvian Cold Current was caused by wind blowing away seawater, not evaporation, and wind was a good thing for ships in the age of sail.

When other power sources are available in the future, people will not be afraid to drive into the equatorial windless zone.

When Fulton came to Paris to trial the Nautilus submarine in 1800, Georgiana wanted to recruit him. Even if he did not develop submarines, she could still try steamboats.

Later, she forgot so many things. When she asked about the French navy's intentions through Bougainville, they said "that is the method used by the Algerians."

I heard that Fulton went to London and was rejected, so he returned to the United States.

She sighed, feeling a heavy sense of powerlessness.

Just then there was a man standing at the door. He looked like a ghost.

"Is this the room where the miracle happened?" said the man dressed as a scholar.

"Who are you?" asked Georgiana.

"A doctor," he said as he watched Georgiana go.

"Are you here to apply for a job too?" she asked.

"That's right. I heard that a pediatric hospital is going to be established." The doctor looked at the map spread out on the table.

"This is not what a pediatrician should look at," Georgiana said, turning the map over.

He seemed to be about to say something, and finally smiled softly.

"My name is Etienne Muller and I have also been to Egypt. Leclerc took my place."

"I never heard that Leclerc was a doctor," Georgiana said warily.

"That's because I was a soldier then, and now I want to be a doctor." Etienne Muller said slowly, "I almost died in Egypt."

A person does gain enlightenment after experiencing life and death, but she didn't like him.

He is not as calm as the Dr. Deye I saw just now. He is like a person who likes stability and hates change.

"Do you like music?" Muller asked.

"It depends on the music," Georgiana said coldly.

"My hobby is composing music, and you should have heard of my work," Muller said.

"Really?" Georgiana smiled sarcastically.

"La Marseillaise," Müller said extremely calmly, "even though it was originally called Song of the Army of the Rhine."

She stopped laughing.

"Did you hear that?" Mueller asked.

"You are François Muller," said Georgiana.

"My full name is Etienne François Muller. As I said, I died once, so my name is Etienne Muller and I am a pediatrician." Muller replied, "What do you think? By the way, I’m here to apply, do you think I can get this job?”
