After nearly half an hour of fun, Princess Maria finally left the carousel reluctantly, her delight as if she had truly entered the Garden of Eden.Such fascinating machinery, making one feel as if transported into a fairytale realm—the inventor was surely a genius among geniuses! With this thought, she was already running towards the next amusement.Sitting side by side with the Crown Prince in a "Joyful Drifting" boat, holding a small umbrella, they bobbed along the currents, enjoying the warm afternoon sun...Aboard the pirate ship, she clung tightly to the Crown Prince's arm, screaming with eyes closed...It was a real ship, towed from the Seine River, powered by a steam engine driving wooden wheels to repeatedly lift it into the air. Well, it only went as high as an adult's chest, but to Princess Maria, it felt as though she was being tossed by a giant, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest with excitement.However, what she hadn't expected was that something even more thrill

At the welcome ball that evening, Clementine also displayed her sociable nature to the fullest, joking and playing tricks with the nobles of the Palace of Versailles. She quickly became the center of attention.Queen Mary watched her niece with satisfaction, nodding frequently, thinking how wonderful it would be if this girl were her daughter-in-law.As for the young noblewomen of Versailles who dared to approach the Crown Prince, they were soon chased away by his little cousin's "fierce" gaze, allowing Joseph to enjoy a rare moment of relaxation at the ball.As night fell, Joseph and Louis XVI walked side by side away from the ballroom.The father and son talked for a while about training craftsmen to make caplock guns. Suddenly, the King gestured for the attendants to step back, then pulled his son closer, whispering, "Archduchess Clementine seems very healthy and lively, but Princess Maria seems even smarter. To be honest, both are quite nice.""Yes, they are quite nice," Joseph re

However, when it comes to taxation, with the participation of the Estates-General, the implementation efficiency would be greatly improved.Mirabeau looked at Joseph and tested the waters,"Your Highness, you know that the development of industry heavily depends on the market. Yet, the tariffs throughout France severely fragment the market. Perhaps, we could try to push for the abolition of tariffs to foster a unified domestic market?"Joseph nodded,"You are correct. However, there are many obstacles to abolishing local tariffs, especially since our finances can hardly provide support... I'll think of a solution."At present, there were tariffs between the various regions of France. Products from other provinces had to pay tariffs to enter the local market. This did not have much of an impact in the agricultural era, but in the industrial era, which valued product sales and capital recovery, it became a significant barrier.England gained a considerable advantage in industrial compet

Mrs. Walsh left her room number at the Tuileries Palace with the clerk of the Paris Angel's store. The latter immediately respectfully indicated that they might be able to deliver her purchased goods there tomorrow morning.There was no helping it, even though she had bought a whole 300 livres worth of cosmetics, Fashion Week had brought in too many customers, and the store's delivery staff were busy working 18 hours a day and still could not keep up. This was already the expedited result for her as a Gold Card member.Afterward, the Walsh couple went to the carriage shop and ordered the latest model of the "Royal Same Type" carriage, spending 800 livres—600 for the carriage, and 200 for the shipping to the British port.Then, they rushed to the Royal Museum at the Louvre.In the carriage, Mrs. Walsh looked at the clean and tidy streets of Paris, narrowed her eyes, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but praise, "This is far cleaner than London; even the air smells sweet."Mr. Walsh

"Hmm, grilled lamb chops, beet truffle thick soup, roasted bread."Alexei casually ordered a few dishes from the waiter beside him, then turned to Joseph and said, "I'm quite curious, what do you mean by 'business unrelated to politics'?""Bring me a cup of black tea, no milk, spices, or sugar."Having dismissed the waiter, Joseph smiled and said, "For instance, engaging in some business. If you had your own trade in Paris, then the Empress would not recall you back to Russia for fear of your conduct—oh, please excuse my choice of words."Business? Alexei blinked, sensing some logic in the proposal. No one would associate a busy merchant with a position in the line of succession to Saint Petersburg. It was indeed a good way to stay away from politics and to some extent shed the image of a wastrel.In fact, that was exactly what Alexei's descendants did. To stay away from politics, they started doing business and eventually established Russia's largest sugar company.However, Alexei im
