Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1518 How to Train Your Dragon (9)

   In the 13th century, a French poet wrote such an idyllic poem:

  Grandpa Fayer looked at his wheat and the land in the early morning, and staring at the tender green of the seedlings or the gold of the wheat ears is so pleasant and pleasant. The beautiful crops will give off a beautiful clinking Eju.

  After the harvest, it’s time to collect rent once again.

  The reason why Napoleon was so liked by the peasants was because he promised not to restore the feudal system and the Eleventh Tax. Of course, he could not collect the peasants the tax system in kind before the Middle Ages.

  After harvesting, the farmers will push the grains to the market to sell, and then the tax collectors will look at the coins in their hands.

The peasants in the Carolingian era had to pay a large amount of food to the lord, but not all the food was stored in the warehouse, especially the perishable food. Before the end of the Middle Ages, the peasants would not give the goods in kind, and instead exchanged money for the transaction. If the tax is not explained clearly what is going on with the tax in kind, farmers will not pay it.

If it was changed to "expropriation", it would be another matter. The year before 1801 was good, with bumper harvests every year. This resulted in a lot of grain stored in farmers’ warehouses, but poor road conditions prevented grain from being shipped out in some areas. Over time, it became Chen Mai, which cannot be sold at a high price in the market.

  The domestic hunger should not export food. However, each region has its own special reasons. Exported food can be exchanged for gold and silver coins, and human beings can never return to the era of bartering.

  But this article is now banned. Napoleon did not ask the Legislative Yuan to change the law to prohibit it, but instead asked the police to arrest them.

William Pitt Jr. once reminded Georgian of "tableware" that British gold and silver are rarely used to make utensils, especially tableware. They are all porcelain. Louis XIV once melted the chandeliers of private households and Versailles to obtain gold and silver. It is equally useless to alleviate the financial problems caused by the launch of the war. You have to pay labor costs to make gold and silverware. The money you get after melting is much less than what you paid. If Georgiana listened to the prime minister's words and did so, she would lose a lot, unless she was forced to do so.

  There were only three articles in the Anglo-Portuguese Trade Treaty of 1703:

  First, in the name of His Majesty the King of Portugal and his heirs, it is agreed that before being prohibited by law, British woolen cloth and other wool products will always be allowed to be imported into Portugal as usual, but the following article is a condition.

Second, that is, His Majesty the King of England, in the name of himself and his heirs, must always allow Portuguese wines to be imported into the UK at any time, no matter whether the two countries of Britain and France are at war, and no matter what barrels are used when importing Portugal. One hundred and five gallon barrels, 52.5-gallon barrels or others shall not be under the name of tariff, nor under any other name. For this kind of wine, it is directly or indirectly required to pay more than the same amount of French wine. More tariffs must be reduced by one-third. If at any time in the future, the aforesaid reduction of tariffs is violated in any form, it will be legitimate and legal for His Majesty the King of Portugal to ban the import of British woolen and other wool products.

  Third, the plenipotentiary ambassadors of the two countries met to be responsible for obtaining the ratification of the treaty by their respective kings, and agreed to exchange approval documents within two months.

  Of these three treaties, two to be precise determined the fate of Portugal and the fate of French Bordeaux wine merchants. Before 1703, Britain and France were fighting for hegemony. Portugal wanted to use this treaty to take advantage of itself, but instead suffered a big loss. According to Adam Smith’s description of the Wealth of Nations, this treaty is a masterpiece of British commercial policy. Portugal receives more gold from Brazil each year than the amount used for coinage and utensils in the country. The remaining gold is placed in There is no need to lose too much in the gold cabinet, but there is no good market in Portugal, so even if the export of gold is prohibited, some people still smuggle the gold out for goods that are more favorable in the domestic market, or exchange it from the UK for other European countries Goods.

Adam Smith believed that the value of fruit and wine shipped from Portugal to the United Kingdom almost offset the value of the British goods shipped to Portugal. He completely forgot to import 50,000 pounds of gold from the United Kingdom every week by post, which means this trade. The funds for the activities were provided by Portugal itself. In addition, the British merchants also obtained the privileges of the King of Portugal through non-treaty provisions. When the King of Portugal realized that he had suffered a loss in this treaty, he lost his favor with the British merchants. Some of the privileges were withdrawn, but at this time it was slightly obvious. It's too late. Portugal was called the "Vegetable Garden of Europe" in the 20th century, and the cost of living is cheaper than other EU countries. 100 Euros can be used as 122 Euros over there.

The same goes for Spain. Fenon and Petunia once took Harry and Dali to Spain on vacation. It turns out that the protection spell Lily used on Harry does not necessarily require him to stay in the house in Xiaojinhui district, as long as Just stay by Petunia's side, and it's okay for him to hide in the broken cauldron bar with a lot of hidden curses.

The idiot Severus signed an unbreakable oath with Bellatrix and Nacissa Malfoy. There were also three clauses in it. Among them, his oath to protect Draco forever bound him "for life." , As long as he is alive, he must fulfill his oath, otherwise they are still living in seclusion.

  She missed him very much. One morning she woke up and found that he was lying next to her and looked at her, as if she was afraid that she was missing.

  She was inexplicably reminded of the Portuguese long-snout dragon, which also has a pair of black eyes and pale green scales.

  Fate is unfair, Severus knew it for a long time.

The same is a dragon. The Welsh dragon tamed by Georgianna now has a comfort zone, and the dragon skin of some dragons has become the material for wizards to make clothes, boots, gloves, and shields. Georgiana remembers that Slughorn had a Fire dragon leather briefcase with gold buckle.

  If the French Ministry of Magic can monopolize this trade, then French pure-blood wizards do not need to raise their own dragons, unless they need fresh dragon blood.

   Sometimes trade really makes people cold-blooded, but people are omnivores and need to eat animal protein.

  When Columbus first arrived in the Caribbean islands, he soon realized that it was not India in Marco Polo’s travels. Not only because the people there don’t wear clothes, but also because the island lacks meat. There is a pika called Kori by the locals. They are the largest viviparous tetrapods in Santo Domingo.

  So there is a custom of the Caribbean people of Martinique, which can be said to be strange.

  It’s cruel to kill young bulls, raise big cows, and let them keep pregnant and give birth and milk.

  She started crying again thinking about this.

  Sometimes she really hoped that Napolioni was not so honest. He quibbleed that he didn't go to see Giuseppe secretly and she was not so sad now.

  She is not only stupid, but also stupid. This is the first few scenes she doesn't know crying these days.

  After crying, her eyes were red and swollen, but she still wanted to cry.

  But can tears solve the problem?

  She yearns for love. God seems to have given her a gift, making her a natural beauty mixed with a Veela, but she is cursed, and there is no way to get a family.

  There is something like a travel note on her desk, which is what a French exile saw and heard in the United States. Compared with the English-speaking area, the slaves in the French-speaking area of ​​the United States are treated much better. They are not only allowed to do unskilled manual labor, but can also be carpenters, masons, simple blacksmiths and butchers. New Orleans also teaches slaves to read. A few slaves succeeded in becoming tutors.

  She often heard that teachers are engineers of the soul, or “noble and respectable”.

  It was Greek slaves who taught Roman slave owners before, and Dumont, Henry Petty’s tutor, has now become his entourage.

It is not possible to smoke students in school. The old bat used voluntary labor to punish students is annoying enough, so even if she sometimes wants to use violence against them, she can only endure it on the spot, and then turn her grief and indignation into motivation, and she goes to farm. .

  It just so happened that her magic was restored and she could use magic to plant the ground, so she left the tower, she was going to clear the ground, and plan to plant again in October.

  Although the performance of human manure was average due to weather, the test field in the south performed well. The yield per mu was nearly twice that before fertilization. After the soil has changed, the fertility will be more abundant and the yield will be higher.

  This is her "great career", it's so dirty, which student would be willing to learn?

  　 I copied the content of the agreement, "The Wealth of Nations". When Wellington came to Bordeaux, the local wine growers regarded him as a liberator.
