Harry Potter Morning Light

There is a painting in the Louvre called "The Man in Gloves". This painting was painted by Titian and was also one of the works that Bonaparte snatched from Venice.

Georgiana thought that Napoleon went to Venice to recover the treasure hidden by the Knights Templar to supplement military expenses. This story was told by Napoleon in front of many people, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Later, someone said that the Knights Templar seemed to have had contact with the Free Masons Union, and that Venice had a Masonic tomb, which made everyone suddenly realize.

In the domestic construction, especially the buildings, the happiest people are the "masons", who are originally engaged in the construction industry. France used to use tolls to build roads, but Balzac's novels say that the money was not really used for the poorhouse.

When the cavalry captured the "tramps" to the workhouse, but they couldn't just live without working, the purpose of the Marquis was to deal with the tramp problem, not to support idlers with taxes, so they would be assigned to do road construction , build city defenses, forts, barracks, etc., but the toll tax does not go to the poorhouse, but goes into the pockets of the tax collectors, so these vagabonds serve as slaves, or the roads are not repaired at all.

When a farmer wants to go out once, he has to issue a certificate, endure bad and bumpy roads, and beware of robbers. Because in the past, the land was permanently entrusted to the nobles. Farmers had to pay a toll tax every time they passed through a place, and they had to pay a city tax when they arrived in the city. As a result, the peasants were unwilling to travel far away. At best, they went to a nearby market, drank some wine, and then returned to the village.

Tolls and other trade taxes are shared by multiple forces. If two adjacent lords get married, they may pay once and then do not need to pay. If two people are hostile, then they may pay twice. In the feudal era, commerce was restrained. After the mercantilism prevailed, this kind of exploitation was not conducive to the development of commerce. One characteristic of coastal areas is that it is easy to collect taxes. In places like Brazil, where there are rainforests everywhere in the interior, it is very difficult to collect taxes. However, England can invest in building a road, which is convenient for Portugal to collect taxes and convenient for development. Of course, according to the Methuen Treaty, British businessmen will not set foot in Brazil, but they can transit in Tobago.

In 1789, Britain’s coal output was 10 million tons, while France’s was only 700,000 tons. The invention of the steam engine needed coal, and coal could also be used for smelting. Not only industrial countries can dump industrial products to agricultural countries, but agricultural countries can also dump agricultural products to industrial countries. There are many reasons for the formation of this monopoly. One is whether there is convenient transportation, and the other is the type of industry. If it is mainly heavy industry and there is no light industry such as sugar factory, then heavy industry products must be exchanged for food.

In theory, Belgium can import grain from the Baltic Sea, but Lana is stationed in Antwerp, and another port, Bruges, is currently being dredged by the French, which also requires a lot of labor, so those captured refugees have jobs to do.

Belgium was blocked, but not completely blocked. British textiles still have no market, but British steel can be dumped tax-free. Austria paid a lot of money to the Belgians to pay off their national debts. Those were real currencies. Both Britain and France want it.

In the past, the taxpayers would do this. They would force the farmers to buy salt. The farmers said I had no money and I didn’t need salt, so he didn’t care. He took the farmers to the market, and then set a price for him to buy. The taxman collects his taxes from it, and thus his task is accomplished.

The French sold sugar refining equipment to the Belgians. This method is certainly rude, but what about the large-scale dumping of cotton and grain by the British?

Before the amount of coal and iron mining in France comes up, steel dumping is inevitable. If the steel industry wants to enjoy the same protection as the cotton textile industry, is it willing to use steam engines like Britain? Watt's improved steam engine was first used in coal mines, and Britain has an advantage that there are fewer people, so that they can have surplus dry industry and others without consuming a lot of coal and wood fuel. There are many French people, and every household has to cook and heat. If the coal fuel used for industry increases, the coal used for people's livelihood will be in short supply, and the price will rise according to market rules. Now the common people will not be clamoring for bread, but It's clamoring for fuel, but in the end it still has to be imported from the UK.

In the case of semi-finished products such as steel, the import tax is mainly borne by producers, not consumers, and manufacturers who work on metal processing without tariffs also benefit from it. Compared with semi-finished steel products, there is no market for finished products, but isn't Belgium going to buy sugar-making equipment? In addition, steel is also needed for bridge repairs. The only thing that restricts the development of railways is the locomotive. This cannot be solved in a short time.

The deal was brokered on a ship that Bonaparte had given to Georgiana for about the same price as the necklace Joan had cheated in the name of Marie Antoinette. Although it cannot be abused, the soldiers finally knew how to fight back, so that they would not commit suicide like Cobain, or end their relationship like Young Werther.

From that book, it is true that many young people choose to commit suicide under the influence of it, and they are also at fault. Men don't know how to do things to women, and the feeling of anger is really terrible.

This is considered a deterrent, and cannot be used to coerce girls. If they are reported, they will be seen in a military court.

The Louvre returned a batch of famous Italian paintings, many of which were of questionable morals, such as Taci, who was sued by the female painter Artemisia.

Titian was always careful not to become court painter, serving only one patron. Although he was awarded the "Count Palatine" and "Sir Golden Spur" and was repeatedly invited to Spain, Titian only left his hometown for a few short trips, and stayed in Venice most of the time.

He also painted women without clothes, but when he painted, he was thinking about other issues, such as Aristotle's celestial Cupid and Earthly Cupid, as well as "living women", Urbino's The sleeping Venus painted by Venus and Giorgione is much more vivid, like a noble lady who has just taken a bath and is waiting for her lover, while Giorgione's Venus is a beautiful Corpse, she's dead.

Is Georgiana really helping England, or is she really helping Bonaparte?

Even William Pitt, Jr., who had a small success in developing the Trinidad Proposal, didn’t quite trust her, but a profitable peace is indeed more worth maintaining than an unprofitable peace, and the textile industry is not as good as a pillar industry. Support one more door, otherwise the house will fall if the pillars fall.

The Italians are not without benefits. They won an order for a typewriter. It was invented by an Italian printing worker for his blind girlfriend. The typesetting order is very different from the typewriter invented by the British. The people who copied the books in the church library then worked on typewriters.

Bonaparte had Valmont expand the public library, and these books were just enough to expand the collection, but required extensive translation before they could be opened to the public, as they were written in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew.

Those literati who accompanied Bonaparte in catching robbers had jobs. As long as they had income, freedom of speech was not that important.

Scribes in the Middle Ages also had to collect money to copy books. That was his livelihood. If Rousseau hadn’t copied music scores, the articles he wrote would not sell money at all and could not make a living, although they triggered the Enlightenment and France. great revolution.

Maybe some people fled to the New World not to get rich, but because they really couldn’t stand the powerful and their lackeys. In the new land where the land is vast and sparsely populated, people can get rid of those oppressors, of course, this is temporary.

The new country will promote the development of the old country. It can build roads, railways, and ports through foreign trade, just like setting up a new home, buying everything from curtains to pots, and the old country can also export products.

But the "new home" had no money, and the US warships were also involved in transporting food from Spain this time, and Congress ordered them to do it.

Not only can a sum of money be made to fill the hole in the national debt, but it is also related to the gunpowder equipment exported from France. With it, the United States does not need to exchange flour for gunpowder powder.

This feeling of being restricted by others is very uncomfortable, as if you can't do anything without money, the poor boy can't afford to buy furniture and has to build it himself.

When Louis XIV canceled the "Nantes Pardon", he did not expect that the Huguelots would go so decisively. In fact, the Huguelots knew that they were suppressed by Louis XIV. They were not allowed to serve as any government officials and excluded In addition to free employment, and the declaration of illegitimate children of Protestant and Catholic "justly married" children, Protestant women could not hire Roman Catholic midwives.

These are still "grievous little annoyances". What really makes them angry is that the wealthy cities established by Protestants in the south of France are often harassed by dragoons. Violate their wives and daughters, and even if the dragoons did that, they would not be punished. This made the Protestants heave a sigh of relief when they heard that the king had issued the decree to abolish Nantes, and exclaimed "how great everything the king has done."

Madame Maintenon, who was widely condemned for repealing the Nantes Pardon, thought the King was instigated by her, and was never condemned by responsible writers.

Unfortunately when the Protestants began to emigrate in large numbers, the soldiers were encouraged to do everything they could to make the poor homeowners murder and torture routine and anyone who tried to emigrate was thrown into jail.

It didn't work, what had to run had to run, French industry and commerce fell apart, and the king couldn't collect taxes, so he had to melt down the silver chandelier at Versailles.

The abolition of the Nantes amnesty was a catastrophe. After the Protestants fled, they spread rumors to the people of Holland and Germany. The Netherlands and Germany formed an alliance to attack Louis XIV.

The king is hard to change, but the queen can be changed, not to mention Napoleon Bonaparte's wife is Josephine, and Georgiana is like a girl from the Boleyn family. Now she is a lovely "court flower", but Anne Boleyn likes jewelry, Georgiana likes famous paintings.

It's so sad to see the beauty beheaded, people invented the guillotine for mercy, Gryffindor's almost headless Nick was hacked so many axes that he didn't die completely, a layer of skin was left on his neck, so he couldn't join the infinite Head Knight Hunting Group.

Just when Alejandro climbed halfway, there was a sound of horseshoes. He looked in that direction and found that it was the two Durrahans who were trotting along the central axis of the barracks from the Castle of Vincennes. Come here.

If he stayed on the "pyramid" all the time, Durrahan would be like a dog under a tree, unable to climb up the tree and reach the cat on the tree. It's all over.

If he left at this time, he still had a chance to escape, but... just barely put things on top.

Should I give up? Or persist?

Alejandro gritted his teeth, he really wished he was a wizard at the moment, so that the two monsters below would not be scary.

It's a pity that he is a Muggle, and they are not lucky. This may be what Grandma didn't tell Monica back then.
