Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 1893 father's watch (1)
Lucius Malfoy pretends to be a businessman from England and talks to people in the garden, and when he realizes that someone might know more, he uses charms and veritaserum so that he can learn from the other person. Mouth "inquiry" news.
Severus wasn't interested in his "game", smoking a cigarette by himself.
According to the vision of Adam Smith and others, the result of pursuing personal interests will enhance the interests of the society. We can drink milk and eat pork. It is not a gift from dairy farmers and butchers, but they are also pursuing interests.
However, when everyone is blindly pursuing the maximization of personal interests, it is not always possible to maximize the overall interests of the society. Quesnay's economics is to make farmers live a better life, but it makes those food prices divorced from reality. Urban residents The income is simply unaffordable, and the price of food has not been lowered according to market rules when the supply exceeds demand. Even if a large amount of food arrives, some people hoard it to create the illusion of food shortage, and those with the highest price will get it.
Underneath are a group of hungry citizens with bright eyes, and above are rich people who eat delicacies every day. When people lose their minds, they can do anything, including robbing food trucks. Hunger, restlessness, excitement, and nervousness make the irritable crowd lose the ability to think. Their actions are completely contrary to their goals. In towns that cannot be transported without army escorts, caravans simply do not go. The rioters got less bread than before, so they left the city and became refugees, searching the homes of farmers in the countryside for food. In their eyes, these people were complicit with those who hoarded. Farmers actually sold food at home or in inns, but the army also had to call for food. This vicious circle caused the people to fall into a famine that was worse than natural disasters.
The eyes of people who are really hungry are different from those of people who are full. On the day Lucien returned to Paris in the opera house, Severus once observed with a mask on. Maybe Bonaparte was still a little graceful at that time, but he His demeanor can't last long.
Apparition was not allowed in that world, otherwise he would have taken Pomona away. The opera house was used as a trap by the scavengers, and Pomona was the bait. This was not the first time she had been used as the bait.
Severus remembered the poem "I" wrote, where the sheep king used the princess as bait and asked "uncle" to drive away the suitors for him. The prince of the neighboring country also came to propose marriage. The other country is stronger than the Sheep Kingdom. Marrying the princess is equivalent to annexing the Sheep Kingdom. If the "uncle" wants the kingdom and the princess, he must work for the Sheep King. Promise that the princess will marry "uncle".
How like you, Snape, handed over the improved recipe of Wolfsbane to the old fool, and asked him to make a deal in exchange for the support of the neutral members of the Wizengamot. And Sirius Black, who dreamed of rehabilitating himself, taking beautiful girls to social occasions, and then Dumbledore could manipulate the head of House Black by manipulating Pomona.
Even though Sirius Black has been expelled, he is still the last living member of the immediate Black line, although both Narcissa and Pomona feel that Regulus is still alive, it seems that after the resurrection of the Dark Lord, people think that all dead people are dead. It is possible to crawl out of the grave.
Whether the Dark Lord's new body has the ability to do so is actually very doubtful. Although Bella is obsessed with him to the point of fascination, there are still people watching Lestrange's jokes, including Snape. He felt that it was impossible for him to be like Lestrange anyway, and felt that offering his woman to the king was a kind of... hell, how do you say that word?
This was so funny, at this moment he suddenly felt something rubbing against his ankle, and when he looked down, he found that it was a poodle raised by someone else.
He wanted to kick it away, but stood there without moving. This feeling reminded him of the woman who liked to take off her shoes and rub against his trouser legs. He never knew that the "senior sister" who could take off the dirty witch robe in front of him and jump directly into the black lake to swim with the mermaid actually had this side.
"You're not allowed to peek, Severus!" she warned bluffing, not thinking at all how inappropriate it was for them both to be in their thirties.
Harry Potter had a son in his twenties, and he was in his thirties... It wasn't Dumbledore's fault.
Including the giant Hagrid he trusted the most, it was not because he didn't understand these things that he finally fell through with Mrs. Maximian.
There was already a red-haired Lily in his memory, and he didn't want to add another.
Girolamo's lover also refused to give him a kiss before he died, and neither did the girl with green eyes.
The eyes looking at him were very clear, reflecting his shadow like a lake, but unfortunately he was not Nahisus, and would be obsessed with his own reflection.
"You have your mother's eyes," was the last thing he said to Potter, who felt nothing, like the cold water of a lake.
And the other woman, she's silly, sitting on the grass under the Irish stars, looking like she's continuing her research on vampires, is actually watching him go about her business, as if she's proud of it, because the tent is He built it and realized "how to make men take the initiative to do housework" as mentioned in a certain women's magazine.
"She loves me, you know that?" Severus cursed under his breath.
"What?" Lucius asked.
Severus looked up, watching Lucius carefully.
Platinum Malfoy looked at him in bewilderment.
"What did you find out?" Severus asked calmly.
"You won't believe it." Lucius smiled. "Have you ever heard of Chicago?"
"I haven't heard of it."
"There is Fort Dearborn near Chicago. It is located on the west bank of Lake Michigan. It is a very important fur trading point. It is also an important trading point for cargo ship transshipment and storage. It is a strategic location. The United Kingdom intends to fund the construction of a railway. , linking it to Philadelphia."
"What?" Severus asked.
"Henry Dearborn is the name of a hero in the War of Independence. The Americans owe money not only to the French but also to the British for fighting the War of Independence. It is difficult to recover this debt. The British side intends to use this road Ten years of proceeds as compensation to offset part of the American Revolutionary War debt."
Severus didn't move.
"The king of France is dead, but the king of England is not dead, although he probably died of anger when he knew that the British funded the War of Independence." Lucius said with a smile, "Another point is that a road needs to be built from Brussels to Mechelen .”
"I remember it was decades before the railways started to develop."
"The railway I'm talking about now is not the steam locomotive railway we are used to, but a horse-drawn one. Napoleon used it when he deployed troops in Switzerland this time. It really improved the carrying capacity. Moreover, from Antwerp to Mechelen’s cargo ships all use flat-bottomed boats. He built fortifications at the mouth of Antwerp. Except for flat-bottomed boats, ordinary merchant ships with a deeper draft can’t get through, of course including our warships, unless we don’t install shells and artillery. "
Severus smiled "What does he want?"
"There are rivers to transport from Antwerp to Mechelen, but there is no road from Mechelen to Brussels. That is to say, after this railway is repaired, it can go directly from Antwerp to Brussels quickly. That city is good at brewing beer and transports it from France. Grain can be brewed there and sold to Brussels.” Lucius sighed, “I know what he’s doing, Belgian beer tastes very different from German beer, would you like to have a drink?”
"Have you ever had butterbeer?" Severus asked Lucius.
"Who didn't drink it when they were young." Lucius sneered. "Beer isn't bitter, so is it still called beer?"
"The time here is faster than outside, and we can drink and talk," Severus said.
"Let's do it next time...Fox's group thinks it's impossible for North America to take it back, but some people still think it's possible." Lucius said, "It's like developing South America is a dream, no wonder so many people are addicted to this dream."
"You want to stay?" Severus asked.
"No, Naxisha and Draco are waiting for me outside, but it's yours, godfather, don't just remember to play and forget about business."
"Did you hear the sound of destruction?" Severus suddenly remembered the man in the gorgeous clothes in the Church of Our Lady of Incongency.
"This door will only be opened when you really need it."
"Klitsch knows the way to open the entrance," Severus said. "If I don't come out for a long time."
"I'll remind you." Lucius said calmly, "I suddenly envy you a little bit now, Severus."
"You think Narcissa will take a fancy to that dwarf?" Severus sarcastically.
"No." Lucius brushed his smooth long hair gracefully, "She likes me like this."
Severus glanced at the peacock passing behind Lucius, but unfortunately it was a green peacock, it would have been more like a white peacock.
"Let's go, let's go somewhere else." Severus said blankly.
"Wait." Lucius plucked a red rose and put it in Severus's breast pocket. "This is much better."
Severus looked into Lucius's eyes, his gray-blue eyes were mirror-like, but not as cold as the green ones.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lucius said angrily.
"What?"
"You remind me of the White Wizard, and he sees people that way," Lucius said. "It's a bad habit, and it makes people feel uncomfortable. Remember social etiquette."
"I thought talking to people meant looking them in the eye."
"You make me feel like you want to see through my secrets, which is very offensive, so he is not liked."
"What about me?" Severus asked.
Lucius smirked, "Let's go, let's continue shopping."
After speaking, he looked around, as if looking for the next "target" in the garden.
