Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1760 Queen of Hell (Thirty-one)

  Isaac Newton does not love money. If he were a greedy man, he would not become the director of the Royal Mint.

His attitude towards money is probably that he knows that it is a necessity of life. Of course he doesn’t mind if he can make a fortune with the South China Sea stocks, but he does not pursue and hoard money, coupled with his wealth of smelting knowledge, he is no better than him. A more suitable director candidate is now available.

At this time he has become the smartest person in the UK. The class is crowded with people who want to take his class. Although the matter of currency recasting is not as great as the mystery of the universe, if it is not handled properly, civil war may occur. People thought he would become a reliable administrative official.

On the first morning after arriving at the Mint, Newton organized the workers of the Mint to swear: You will swear that you will not directly or indirectly disclose or publish information about the round coins and the text and patterns on the edges of the coins to any individual or group. Any invention, if you promise, may God bless you.

  Counterfeit coins are the most direct influence on the issuance of new coins. After dealing with this matter, Newton dealt with the mechanical problems of the mint.

There are only a handful of "saints" in this world who are not for money, not for profit, not for fame, and not for power. Newton's hobby of fame is understandable, but he may not have thought that he has completed many people who have never done it before. What was accomplished, his work on rebuilding the harmony between God and nature enabled natural science to not only compete with theology, but also to replace theology.

The opening chapter of the Declaration of Independence tells: in the process of personnel affairs, when a nation must dissolve its political ties with another nation, and obtain the independent and equal status given to them by natural law and the gods of nature among the nations of the world. At that time, there is a kind of sincere respect for the opinions of human beings, and they are required to announce the reason for this change as a last resort.

  The creation of man by God has also been replaced by Darwin's theory of evolution. As long as man has something to replace, he will quickly lose the old things. It is often heard that he sold his soul to the devil, but few people remember that he must first prove that he has a soul. How can the soul prove it?

  If you can’t prove that it doesn’t exist, you only need to destroy the evidence, and you can’t prove the existence of the crime.

  Many people who participated in the Salem trial have the habit of keeping a diary. One pastor even kept a record of the thunder that day. As a result, the diary of that year disappeared.

  In addition, there are court records. Because they are not professional stenographers, many of the interrogation records are incomplete, and even some records simply disappeared. It is said that they were burned during the riots and the War of Independence.

  Paris left a detailed record of the death of the villagers, including two he attributed to witchcraft, but did not mention Giles Corey.

One family erased a plaintiff from the genealogy, and others used other spellings of their names to disguise themselves. Many villagers who had never forgotten collectively lost their memories. What these people tried to forget happened to be something that others desperately wanted to know. .

People were busy hunting witches, but they forgot about defenses. A "witch" named Mary Tusek was released and became homeless because the Indians destroyed Bill Rica and they returned two years later. , Not only killed her, but also kidnapped her 12-year-old daughter.

In the past, Andros was criticized for arbitrarily levying taxes, that is, he never used a jury when he tried. The courts after New England have a jury. If the judge only exempts himself from the responsibility of the jury members, Even if each member of the jury would share the responsibility, it would be terrible to accumulate so many accusations.

  The direction of the wind has changed. Everyone is looking for a way out. Even Pastor Paris’s tone was softer when he preached. He talked about sweet kisses and contemplation about peace. I hope the congregation can sincerely and thoroughly understand each other.

Stoughton is the second son of a magistrate of Massachusetts. He never married his life. He was an early donor to Harvard and the founder of Dorchester. He also received a master's degree in Oxford and preached in Dorchester. But refused to accept the teaching position.

  When preaching in the Boston election in 1668, he said that immigration is God’s eldest son, his favorite and most favored by him. God has done enough for them. What else can he do for them?

  And those English judges who are corrupt, condone pirates, and deliberately distort the facts, Stoughton is very honest and upright. It is the girls who do perjury that are at fault, and they misled the judges and pastors.

  Of the 13 victims involved in the accusation, 7 were maids, and there were also orphans like Susanna Sheldon, Moses Lewis, and Mary Warren.

  The men began to wake up. The people who had retreated silently learned to shout loudly. They blamed themselves for bullying their wives so that they confessed their crimes. Once it was discovered that security had happened, everyone spoke up, and a prominent person in Boston was sued and filed a defamation lawsuit of up to 1,000 pounds.

  Families of the suspect can go home after paying bail and stay away from the increasingly cold cell, including Martha Carrier’s 7-year-old daughter and Pastor Dan’s 8-year-old granddaughter.

  Even the farmers in Andover are aware of the problem, but there are still some people who are unconscious, including the sheriff who hunted down Elizabeth Carnason.

  The girl’s relatives and her family have been put in jail. Where else can a 16-year-old girl go?

  Judges must be heroes. This is related to the autonomy of colonial courts. The more people they accuse, the more hatred and prejudice they provoke. Apart from age, it is difficult for them to get rid of charges of perjury.

Old Ann Putnam was not on the list of charges. She was dying of illness at the time. Even if these girls escaped the death penalty, they could not escape the crime. Xiao Ann Putnam was never married, and Susanna Sheldon was not married. This was rare in New England in the 17th century. Even a priest would remarry soon after his wife died. This is the doctrine.

Elizabeth Hubbard only found her husband at the age of 36. Sarah Churchill was married at the age of 42. She was fined for adultery earlier. Moses Lewis had an illegitimate child. He later married and moved to Boston. Abigail, who was once deviant Hobbes raised the family in a traditional way, but they never denied witnessing witchcraft.

  The pastors' experience was not so good. James Bailey, who brought old Ann Putnam to Salem, got into trouble in Rocksbury. He contracted pleurisy and died in extreme pain in 1707.

Deodart Rosen went to England and published a record of the witchcraft case in 1704 to relieve people of accusations against his friends. He insisted that he was manipulated by dark forces. He soon apologized for his wrongdoing, but This has nothing to do with the witchcraft case, but he drank excessively. In 1714, he lived in extreme poverty and his family had no food to eat. His three children were infected with smallpox, and his new wife became weaker. If there is no relief for his family, he will inevitably die. The epitaph I wrote for myself is "Mr. Deodat Rosen Unhappy".

Samuel Paris remarried and became the father of a second family. He was always troubled by "difficulties and turmoil" during his tenure. In 12 years, he went to 6 parishes to teach at school, raise livestock, and sell fabrics and sundries. , Preached in the smallest settlement in Massachusetts.

In a land investment, he failed because of his ambitions. In 1706, he was arrested for debts. At the age of 67, Si was in Sudbury. He still had some assets before his death. He wrote his will repeatedly, but he always felt that the whole world had cheated him. .

   Joseph Green, who succeeded him, was only half the age of Paris, a new pastor, and he also had an Indian slave, but he was not married, at least not when he was a pastor in Salem.

   Burroughs’ second wife did not die in Salem, and Paris’s second wife was fine, and the wives of other pastors were fine, except that the wives of Bailey and Rosen died very strangely.

  This trial has given birth to many atheists. As long as the “miracle”, fictional or true stories are ignored, the world will be peaceful.

Denying witchcraft is very important to Muggles. Even the Andovers, who once completely surrendered to witchcraft and divination, sent nine representatives to petition to let their starving wives and children go home, one after three days. The twelve-year-old girl was released because her family paid bail that most Andover people could not afford.

  She is the blacksmith’s daughter Martha Taylor, and her stepbrother is the primary school principal who tortured her. Some people suffered heavy losses in this witchcraft accusation, while others made a lot of money. The Massachusetts authorities paid a lot of money to her blacksmith father so that he could pay a lot of bail.

  She was tortured mentally and took the initiative to go to prison. Is it happy for her to come home from prison?

  In ancient Greece, one day Pythagoras was walking down the street. Before passing the forge, he heard the sound of the blacksmith's hammering iron. Clang and clang were very nice, so he stopped and listened.

  He soon discovered that the blacksmith's rhythm of striking the iron was very regular. The proportion of this sound was expressed in numbers by Pythagoras, which is the golden ratio. Later, people discovered the Fibonacci sequence. Oil paintings, figures, and buildings distributed according to the golden ratio can bring joy to people. Even in nature, there are many creatures that meet the golden ratio. They all look beautiful. But this ratio first expresses music and rhythm. Just as Kepler discovered the physical harmony of planetary motion, it was this harmonious universe theory of music and geometry that became the foundation of Newton's theory of universal gravitation.

Everyone has freedom of belief. Too many people want others to accept their opinions because we always think that we are right. This kind of thinking will leave us no room for improvement, just like a group of people facing each other. Everyone draws a different picture. Some people will say that it is wrong because the paintings drawn by others are different from their own.

  Will there be problems with the universal gravitation that was once regarded as the truth after the emergence of the theory of relativity?

  Sometimes, alchemists do not disclose their findings to the public not only to keep them secret, but also because they cannot give power to the wrong person.

  Who would have thought that a theory created for time travel would become a weapon, and theories explaining the movement of celestial bodies would be used to calculate the trajectory of a cannonball.

  Alchemy is not the buying and selling of metals as people think, nor is it guiding people toward vanity and deception.

It is very difficult to find someone who understands you completely in the vast sea of ​​people. You have to endure that loneliness before you find the twin flames. The combination of twin flames is the ultimate alchemy wedding. It is part of the alchemist’s dream, sometimes It sounds more impractical than finding some gold stones. That's something that only idiots can do, and it's not like a wiseman as sung in Elvis' song.
