Harry Potter Morning Light

News is different from knowledge, like people in 1491, they no longer believed that the earth was round, although the ancient Greeks had measured the prime meridian in the time of Ptolemy and believed that the earth was round.

Until 1493, when the Genoese who proposed to "go west to find the East" returned to Europe, because they encountered a terrible storm, the whole crew died, and the ship did not anchor in the Spanish port, but arrived at France.

He first wrote a letter to the Spanish royal family, and then to the French king, promising that whoever can deliver this letter to the Spanish royal family will receive a reward of 10,000 ducals.

After writing to the Spanish Crown, Columbus wrote to the Spanish Treasurer in Barcelona, ​​to those who raised funds for his expedition, to friends.

In the era of the Roman Empire, the correspondence between Rome and London took more than four weeks, and it took almost four weeks in the Middle Ages, but the sender had to pay a lot of extra fees, which was almost a year's salary of a university professor.

Venice, meanwhile, quickly picked up the news through its powerful network of ambassadors abroad. The most famous postal line at that time was Barcelona-Florence-Bruges, which would pass through Paris, Milan and Cologne, and the Genoa post office, which would connect Bruges with Barcelona Jianli, and Rome, Florence and Venice would pass through Another postal network was connected, which opened up lines with Germany and Byzantium.

Only bankers and churches can afford the expensive cost of rotating horses and riders, but news is always a worthwhile investment, rare and precious. However, the Venetians did not pay much attention to this news when they received it. It may be because the news is rare and precious, so there will be many fakes.

Moreover, this news is not like the decisive battle between Napoleon and the British in Waterloo. All investors who bought the bonds of the two countries are waiting for the outcome, which will directly and immediately affect the bond market. People know very little about that strange land, and after a month, some young people in Florence will set off on a clipper ship as soon as they hear the news. However, these Florentine navigators were blocked after arriving in Gibraltar, because Gibraltar was still under the control of Spain at that time, and the Spanish royal family printed the letter from the Genoese, which quickly ignited the interest of many people, and the merchants were the first to act. Yes, but at the time they thought it was a new, faster sea route to Asia.

The Pope received the news two months later, and not through the church's postal network, but through the Venetian ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, through a copy obtained by spies in Constantinople.

Smart people know that they should take action after identifying the authenticity of the news, although this will be much slower than those who get a little wind and act rashly.

After one night, Georgiana believed that news of the Hope family's warehouse being burned should have spread. Everyone knew that Hope Bank and Barings Bank were involved in the Greater Louisiana Sale.

As the price of indigo has climbed, so has the value of indigo-rich Caribbean and Louisiana. But with the defeat of Santo Domingo, the prospect of reclaiming Louisiana grew and became costly.

At the same time, because of the high price of indigo, people are not willing to use it to dye muslin. Since Justinian acquired the method of silk production, Europeans no longer need to spend an ounce of gold to buy silk of equal weight.

According to the ancient Roman rhetoricians, silk made Rome's gold flow out, and the purpose of women wearing it was to make their bodies appear indistinctly.

The light fabric was not effective in colder climates, and Pomona remembers the way Bouler Barton's pupils shivered when they arrived in Scotland wearing it.

However, Ms. Chanel said that the art of fashion is to create illusions, and the important thing is the visual effect rather than the material.

Beauty is a weapon, just like a woman's tears, it only works for those who care.

At least in the eyes of these Genoese, the sultry "Greek beauty" did not attract their attention, and they were more interested in the "Pope".

The situation at the moment is like a boat, a group of pirates pretending to be polite, they knew how to play tricks at the beginning, but now they don't bother to pretend. Georgiana only hoped that what Fouche said was true, there was still a statute of limitations in European secrets, and it was less than 24 hours before she made the "conditions" to the Prussians.

And the premise of the value of this news is that the Prussians accepted the conditions, otherwise, even if she told the truth, it would be nothing more than false news.

Napoleon himself calculated carefully, and he was never stingy with the soldiers who followed him through life and death. Whether it was jewelry, artwork or other property, he would distribute it to everyone who he thought was worthy of him. Lu's soldiers.

But although Caesar was a good general, he also died in the hands of a group of senators in the senate who could not kill. Compared with the colonel's uniform that Bonaparte often wears, Augereau's uniform is extremely gorgeous, and he is standing next to Georgiana with Figo at this moment.

In addition, the members of the knight order also secretly protected her, and the guards in charge of the guard of honor also kept an eye on the movements here.

This is what Brick saw when he came back after changing his clothes.

Georgiana didn't believe that these Genoese were actually going to kill her, it wouldn't do them any good.

But they must be very anxious in their hearts. The opportunity to make a fortune is right in front of them, and it may come if they push it.

The name Leon comes from Armenian, and since the Middle Ages Genoese have liked to name their children after pagan leaders. Leon I had extended the borders of the principality to the Mediterranean Sea. After a conflict with the Principality of Antioch in the Crusaders and being captured, Leon I was forced to pay gold and cede three cities for freedom. But after he was released, he immediately turned his face and had a war with the Principality of Antioch. The situation was similar to that of King Francois of France and Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire. The difference was that the mediators of France and Germany were two women. Earl of the County of Edessa, mediator of Teoch and Leon.

In contrast, it is understandable to let the devil-like Borgia Adam Pope, after all, the devil also talks about contracts.

But the people of Genoa also talk about the spirit of contract, that is, they agree on how to distribute the benefits before doing anything. Now Napoleon himself intends to break the contract...Of course, only Georgiana knows about this, and she didn't tell anyone, who made her like this.

If Bonaparte hadn't reminded her to tell the story of Hamburg, people still don't know what he intends to do.

A lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth.

Regardless of whether the first person who said that the earth is flat was drunk or a joke, the more people who say it, the more people believe it. After all, it is logical.

But a lie is a lie, and Leon actually knew a little Latin, which he had discussed with Georgiana.

"Quid Nescit dissimulare Nescit regnare", this sentence was said by Louis XI, which means "Knowing no pretender, no way to rule".

The French king nicknamed "The Almighty Spider" annexed the Duchy of Burgundy, Anjou, the Counties of Provence and the Counties of Maine, and basically unified the entire territory of France.

And Bonaparte, who determined the natural boundaries of France, said this: "quid Nescit fallere, Nescit reanare", which means "not knowing the deceiver, not knowing the way to rule".

After letting go of the plot of helping others and learning to respect the choices of other people's fate, she understood a truth.

Not everyone is willing to leave the cave, just as some would rather spend their time in front of the Mirror of Erised.

Camus wrote in "The Myth of Sisyphus": When the longing for happiness is too eager, the pain will arise in the depths of the human heart.

The fourth level of Dante's Hell punishes those who commit the crime of greed. They are divided into those who are miserly and those who do not cherish food and spend a lot of money. The foot of the mountain is carried upwards, going round and round, torturing each other.

The gods thought that there could be no more severe punishment than to commit futile and hopeless deeds.

She hoped to have a dedicated person to love herself, so she chose Snape, hoping that he could transfer his love for Lily to herself.

Later she came to this world, hoping to change the world, but in the end, it seemed that she was changed by this world.

If she's a big villain, it's time to laugh out loud so everyone looks at her like a madman.

People must be "happy" like Sisyphus, because struggling to a height is enough to fill a person's heart.

Hope she realizes this before it's too late, because she knows France because of a "philosopher," not some great king, and that's the purest substance, although it's just a legend that Nicolas created it.
