Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 2034 Alliance Festival (3)

  Some people may feel that it is not difficult to make money when they are rich, but it is really difficult to make money when there is no money.

  This is not just listening to your words, like listening to a word of nonsense. In the 20th century, who remembers the glory of the textile industry, hot money went to the Internet and real estate, and even France switched to Michelin tires after World War I.

  Even if women are not interested in cars, they should have seen the fat cartoon character and the Michelin restaurant. At that time, France was already focusing on the fields of chemistry and medicine.

  However, human productivity has risen with the continuous upgrading of machinery and technology, but the population has declined. In other words, the seniors have squandered the demographic dividend, and the people behind have to pay off their debts, just like collecting debts.

  It is long, painful and laborious to pay off debts. Just get used to it. This is the life of the poor, but what the poor owe is money.

  Why do people work so hard and don’t listen to persuasion?

  If people’s enthusiasm is so easily mobilized, no great men will appear, and no one will tamper with history.

  Zhuangzi has a philosophical saying that saints do not die, but there are more thieves. When the Han dynasty replaced the Qin dynasty, it said that the Qin dynasty was severely tortured. When the Tang dynasty replaced the Sui dynasty, it said that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was ridiculous and innocent. . William the Conqueror slandered Edward the Martyr and was also paving the way for his rule, always consolidating his "orthodox" position.

  It’s just that the Norman’s approach is more straightforward, saying that Edward is the illegitimate child of a nun, full of barbaric narrative style.

The appearance of saints is often related to changes in the world. Everyone has a balance in his heart. They will weigh based on benevolence and morality. Of course, the thief of the country will not be like a little thief. For those new industries For the cities, they know that the people desperately want the parliament to hear their voices, and what the civilians don’t know is that the people who oppose the factory law the most are those who work for them.

  This logic is a bit convoluted. Not all wealthy people are bad. For example, there are some industrial leaders who support legislation, and they are already ashore people. Robert Peel and Bolton are examples. One of them has a big factory and became a member of parliament, and the other is destined to appear on the future pound ticket like Washington. What about those small and medium-sized enterprises who have not landed?

Bolton has monopolized the privilege of steam engine manufacturing. If the country introduces other laws to restrict the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, it will cause big bosses such as Robert Peel to form a monopoly. They will raise the price of cotton products and the wages of workers will not go up. The same will cause contradictions.

  In the early 19th century, most workers and peasant families spent about one-third to one-half of the total expenditure on food. This is what Georgiana and the others learned after their visit. Many families can’t afford olive oil and butter at all. They use lard and rapeseed oil. Their cooking method is still based on the medieval hearth cauldron. Soup is simmered in a pot, and you can eat it no matter what ingredients are cooked. , There are a lot of spices like garlic. Bread cannot be cooked by the family, so you need to go outside to buy it.

  Napoleon once thought of using a pawnshop to provide loans. Republican lawmakers also had the same insight, but the bankers rejected it.

  How can a home be without furniture? Even if furniture is the thing people most need in difficult times, humans often have a kind of emotional sustenance for objects. Some people still keep the cribs that people slept in when they were young. If it suddenly disappears, it will cause serious emotional damage.

  The French do not lack feelings, and the royalist party took advantage of this to make people sympathize with Louis XVI’s encounter with the intention to restore.

  He is a good man, but a bad king.

  Some people can understand this line, but some people can’t understand it. Where is Louis XVI bad? It was the extravagant Austrian woman Marie Antoinette who was obviously bad, who squandered the treasury.

Men’s social circles are larger and well informed, while women’s news is mainly spread in salons and living rooms, and men want women to be as elegant and innocent as they want, as solemn as a goddess, and "to distinguish right from wrong." Basically The message is filtered. At least most women don't know what it means for France to completely lose its maritime hegemony after the Battle of Trafalgar.

  Before the French navy grows up to be effective, if it can avoid an all-out war with Britain, it will be beneficial to France, and at least the line of communication leading to the north will be repaired.

  Another one is that for the United Kingdom, a United States that has not obtained Louisiana is not a threat for the time being. As for the French navy... It’s better to expect them to win the British navy than to expect Napoleon to design a Zeppelin to surprise London. During the First World War, Henry Potter and other wizards couldn’t help fighting, just to deal with these aerials. Monster.

This is where the French wizards are better than the British wizards. They don’t seriously enforce the international secrecy laws, or they live with crooks. The astrologers of this year are embarrassed to come out without the title of “professor”. , Unless she intends to learn gypsy women.

  Fortune-tellers and psychics will advertise with Jianghu doctors. Almost every community will have one or two wizards, and services such as exorcism, healing, delivery, and massage can be provided. They are often very rich and have three or four houses under their names. People both doubt and respect them. They are called "healing saints" and can protect farmers' livestock and farmers from getting sick.

  The Church of St. Edith does not have a cemetery. It is a small monastery. The funerals in Normandy are organized by the Brotherhood.

  Some men are thinking about business affairs when they are dying, or they are still jealous about their wives.

  Similarly, you can't predict what mistakes the brotherhood members will make at the funeral, is to let the straw fall out of the wooden shoes, or let the body fall to the ground because of drunk.

  Funerals like this are very noisy, and there is no "rest in peace" attitude of the Catholic Church towards death.

  What the big people inside are talking about. The people outside don’t know. Anyway, the people outside are fine talking, because she was cold and hungry without eating. Later, Stanley asked for a bowl of hot chickpea soup from the dean.

  In the real monastery, just put some salt, not even oil, let alone meat.

  Not to mention those princesses and noble women, Georgiana herself can’t stand it, and it’s not easy for St. Edith to persist until death.

  Sometimes the real history is more bizarre than the fictional story. She manages a church library, and she will not let those books be left out there.

It's just that she is still a little negligent. She asks many people who have no food and clothing to help him translate, but it seems that someone has gotten in. They quietly hide some "unsuitable" materials, such as Udine religion. Interrogation records of the courthouse.

  That "witch" is also a healer.

  She feels that she is going through a “treatment”. It is not necessarily that she is kind and helps others, others will give back to her with kindness, especially when she finds that if she refuses others' requests for help, others will instead go to the religious trial to sue her.

  This is human nature, but is human nature really selfish?

  She took a sip of hot soup and sighed.

  The heat formed water mist in this cold late autumn, but it quickly dissipated.
