Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2476 Hopeheater (Part 1)

Tom Riddle Jr.'s mother gave birth to him at the Wood Orphanage, and if this happened in the late 18th century, she would probably have been sent to a place like the orphanage, and there are many women for one reason or another. , had to give birth there, and many of them would, like Merope, die after giving birth to their children, and some would die, but more would simply leave their children in the abandoned infant hall and let them live on their own. self-destruction.

   Not all children are eligible to enter the abandoned infant hall, because the rules for entering the hall stipulate that they must be children who are less than two months old and are in good health. Birthmarks, scars, and other information on babies who are eligible are recorded, and a lead "tag" is placed on their necks as proof of their identity.

They will then be sent to nurses in suburban London to receive breastfeeding. The abandoned infant house will give these families a certain subsidy. When they grow up to a certain age, they will start to learn to work. Before the Industrial Revolution, boys were often unable to avoid manual labor. Or the fate of going to sea, while girls are destined to take care of the housework.

   The original abandoned baby hall was located in the "Common Home of Sailors", a hospital open to sailors, and many of these children also became sailors.

The "Bow Street Detective" was established much earlier than the Thames Police Station, which was originally established to capture "night predators", usually groups of children who would sneak into the Thames ships, diverting the vessel first and tipping the cargo into the river to be picked up at low tide. The amount involved in this form of theft was £500,000 in 1796 alone, and the duty of Thames Police was later changed to "to protect commercial property from 'unprecedented looting' and to help sea labourers better practice their professions. conduct".

   There are hundreds of piers along the Thames, some used to store goods, and some empty warehouses occupied by children lounging and opportunistic nearby. Not all parents are cruel enough to send their children to pass chimneys or work as "apprentices" in factories. With the development of the Industrial Revolution, the population of British cities has increased rapidly, and population movements have led to increasingly crowded cities. Parents are busy with work, and children will play together.

Although "General Ludd" is a fictional character, it has a prototype. It is said that the colonel was an Irishman. He joined the army when he was young. In 1790, he returned to China to join the labor movement and became the general representative of the London News. After his arrest Without betraying his companions or telling what he had done among the workers, he went to the gallows with all his secrets.

After    Dumbledore's Army was exposed, although it was not Qiu Zhang who leaked the secret, the "informer" was unforgivable to children.

   Acne scars on the face are scary for girls, not to mention they spell letters, but it's also a big characteristic of children's behavior. Machine smashing also occurred in the Luddite movement, with 100 machines destroyed in Lancashire in 1779.

   Think about the family of William Pitt Jr., the prime minister used to support "children reduce social burdens and support themselves". His family was stolen by servants, causing him to repay debts after leaving office.

  Those street children are not stray cats and dogs, and they can send people to hunt and kill them, but there is no shortage of "Vigilantes" like Jack the Ripper, who choose prostitutes. There was such a koan during the French Revolution. There was a prostitute, her name was Marion, and she had a frequent visitor, named Danton. Compared with the "incorruptible" Robespierre, Danton often hung out with them. Together, Danton and Robespierre had ideological differences on the question of the founding of the French Republic, and all in all Robespierre's supporters organized a debate on the legitimacy of engaging in the flesh business.

  Robespierre's supporters believe that Marion was forced to engage in this profession, that hunger forced her to sell herself, and that only by eliminating the exploiting class can the social moral order be reorganized.

There were food riots in that era, and even pregnant women participated in the robbery of food trucks. According to Malthusian population theory, the growth of means of subsistence was not as high as the geometric growth of the population, and it was necessary to overcome hunger, heavy labor, restrictions on marriage and war. The effect of this law can be weakened only by eliminating the "lower classes" of society by other means.

   But when conscripting troops to fight, the huge population base is of great use again. France can recruit a huge army in a short time, and the United Kingdom has to go to the United States to capture sailors to become the navy.

Then it was Marion's "mother"'s turn to answer. The old bustard was from the "bottom level". Her words were relatively vulgar, probably meaning that doing this business has nothing to do with exploitation. It's just a way of survival. Some people work with their hands. Some people work with their heads, while others work with their backs (referring to coolies carrying sacks), so why are women not allowed to work with that?

   This is not moral or immoral, but a natural power. There is no distinction between happiness itself, whether it is spiritual or physical.

Democracy should be the embodiment of the will of the majority, and this involves "the general will of the people". Robespierre believed that this is a noble morality, so the general will of the people is also equal to justice, Robespierre The freedom that Ernest believes is based on certain rules and constraints.

   On the other hand, Dandong believes that the so-called moral standards kidnap everyone and restrict everyone with a so-called reasonable system. Dandong believes that personal freedom is the real freedom, not freedom based on the general will of the people.

  Desires are given by nature, and everyone has the freedom to satisfy their own desires. The general will of the people is actually no different from the king’s prohibition and religious precepts. Dandong believes that as long as there is no coercion, it is her personal choice for prostitutes to engage in skin and flesh business, and there is no so-called general will to deprive them. From this, there are two views of prostitutes' freedom and free prostitutes, which also makes this case unsolved. 's case.

From the Jack the Ripper case to the end of the 20th century, people's attention has always been on the serial killer. Few people care about the victims, even though they have been abandoned on the streets, and they are prominent in the world. in front of.

  The carriage stopped at this time, and Georgiana glanced out the window. She came to the Grand Place in Brussels again. Outside the door of the carriage was the building that used to be the Mint.

   She began to recall in her mind that she had read a travel magazine before and seemed to introduce a Mint Opera House in Brussels.

   She may be such a strange person. Compared with the beautiful opera house, she prefers the "theater" of the scouts on Bow Street, which is very suitable for the new police headquarters.

But God and the police aren't always there. When the Dementors attacked Harry Potter, he used the escort. Although he violated the law by doing so, if he chose to wait, he and Dudley had been kissed by the Dementors long ago.

   This is also the meaning of going to a magic school and learning "Defense Against the Dark Arts". A wizard can't even have the power to defend himself.

The car door opened now, and it was Langenhofen who had opened it for her, and she looked down at the quivering flowers in the shape of ears of wheat on her bracelet, now hiding her wand and an ugly recorder, if she played If the clarinet is played, the Thestral will appear, then at least she won't have to worry about being burned at the stake in the square.

   So she kept smiling and got out of the carriage with Langenhofen.
