Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1952 queenofair&darkness (four)

  The nickname of the black prince is said to be due to two reasons.

  One, because I often wear black armor.

  Second, because he ransacked the Principality of Aquitaine and used his troops illegally, he was considered black-hearted by the French, so he was called the "black prince".

  Blackening is a common surface treatment, which can ensure that iron products do not rust, and the armor produced in Siena is blackened.

  In 1330, Edward III overthrew the rule of his mother Queen Isabella and lover Modemo, the queen mother of France, and took real power. In 1328, the Capet dynasty of France extinct heirs. Edward III claimed that he was the grandson of Philip IV, King of France, and demanded to inherit the throne of France. In 1346, he sent troops to France, and the 16-year-old black prince fought alongside his father. During the famous Battle of Cressy, the French cavalry organized 15 assaults, all of which were repelled by the longbowmen commanded by the black prince, and the British army won a big victory. In the process of clearing the battlefield after the war, Edward III and his son discovered the body of John of Luxembourg, the old king of the French Allied Bohemia. This man was blind, but he was extremely brave in combat. The prince was moved by his spirit, took off the feathers from his helmet and put it on his helmet, and at the same time took his motto "Ichdien" as his slogan.

  This is German, which means I serve, which later became the mantra of the Prince of Wales.

  The size of the current Prince of Wales is no longer suitable for riding in armor, although he is only seven years older than Napoleon. But because George III's condition has been ups and downs, he has relatively rich experience in regents. He also read the French trade treaty, and his first reaction was that there was a conspiracy.

  Napoleon would really be so confused, so confused for a woman.

  Not only the UK produces steel, but Sweden also sells pure iron bars, and Antwerp is close to the Baltic Sea.

  If it is to build the canal in accordance with the British method, it is to dig the canal deeply so that ocean-going ships can enter, reducing the extra cost of midway transshipment.

  The French did the opposite. Rana sank a lot of rocks into the sea and artificially formed a reef. After the fortifications were repaired in Antwerp, the warships and merchant ships with deep drafts were unable to pass, and only flat-bottomed ships could pass. In this way, the flat-bottomed cargo ships of Rouenxiu could pass, and from a certain angle the French monopolized the Belgian inland shipping.

  The ship review organization established by Henry Petty, a commercial port cannot be destroyed because of military use. This organization can prevent the French from continuing to do so. Even if they can't stop it, they can use the pretext of building lighthouses and floating as an excuse to find out the location of those reefs.

  Peace means that both sides can send spies to each other to find out the situation of each other. Merchants are sometimes spies. There is a place called Surrey near London. When Liverpool's Canal Company was still obstructing the construction of the railway, they had silently repaired the tracks.

  Coal transportation is the main reason for the construction of canals. Birmingham also has canals passing by, while Surrey is not a canal town. No one noticed it before. It was a relatively closed town, with lime, chalk, flint, bleaching soil and agricultural products as the import goods, coal and fertilizer as the export goods, but the French side began to spread railroad tracks. The well-informed businessman who wanted to show off to the hillbilly suddenly heard from the countryman that they had already laid the track.

  At first, he didn’t believe it, but when he got there, he found it was true. It was a public road by two horses and the transportation line of commercial goods, which was approved by the council.

  Ordinary railways, even if they are iron-clad wooden tracks, are only found in coal mines and metallurgical cities. Otherwise, they are related to the canal like Liverpool. It is not necessarily a competitive relationship. It may also be used to facilitate the connection between the city and the canal.

  The main use of steel was weapons, knives and toys. Bolton, one of the founders of Soho, was a toy businessman. In the story of the Wizard of Oz, the Tin Man hopes to find his heart, the Scarecrow hopes to find his brain, and the Lion hopes to find his courage, and embark on an adventure with Dorothy. Because Tinman often gets rusty, he needs to add oil for lubrication.

  The road paved with iron is not like a machine, it is placed indoors, especially in England, where the rain is continuous, and the iron is easy to rust.

  If the surface is only blackened like armor, the protective film will be worn away by the passing wheels and horseshoes, and people have found other problems when observing the road in Surrey.

  If the load is too large, the subgrade will collapse, and because the material of the subgrade is different, it will cause different depths. A railway that should be flat and reduce friction and turbulence will become rugged.

There are also problems such as derailment, wheels, etc. In short, it is unrealistic to build roads with iron on a large scale. The Carmarthen Railway Company has obtained the right to build a 16-mile railway from Llanelli to the mainland. In addition, There are also Montmurray, Glamorgan, South Wales, and even the Royal Forest.

  Not all wood meets naval standards. Yers, oak, poplar and American acacia are all good materials for masts, but the forests in North Wales are almost extinct, although there were still dense trees in the early eighteenth century.

With the expansion of the British maritime hegemony, the forests on land have also been reduced, and the trees in the imperial forest have also been felled. The use of this kind of car track will not only facilitate transportation, but also connect the mines and wrought iron plants scattered in the imperial forest. How can I stop it when?

What one person can do is completely different from what one person is willing to do. For example, three people have a loan of 100 pounds, and one does not require interest. After a year, 100 pounds will be loaned out, or 100 pounds will be paid back. For a person with 10% interest, 100 pounds loaned out, 110 pounds paid back, the third monthly 5% interest, 100 pounds loaned out, 160 pounds paid back a year, most people will choose the last type of loan. But what kind of borrower is he willing to choose?

The minerals in France are like this. There are some professional miners who have no land, and some farmers who have land. They will work in the mine during the slack time, but they are not serious about their work. Going back to your own home to do your own farm work, which greatly affects the work efficiency of professional miners. Moreover, farmers can earn money by producing land, which has caused conflicts among workers.

  Farmers are sometimes particularly short of money, but they would rather look for usury loans than mine owners who actively provide loans.

  If France is the center of the feudal system in Western Europe, the north is the center of the center. The feudal system has been adopted since the division of the Frankish kingdom to the outbreak of the Great Revolution.

  The clause that brings industrial goods to the loan is a bit similar to a tax rebate, which encourages bankers to borrow industrial loans in France. If the subsidy is given by tax, then all taxpayers will pay the bill, and the British will not have to bear this part of the loss if the subsidy is given by the British.

   would it be that simple?

Not only in France, but also British joint-stock companies are also illegal, and this was caused by the "South China Sea Bubble". At that time, Newton lost a lot of money, and other people went bankrupt. After the South China Sea incident, the United Kingdom enacted a bubble law to establish a company. Special authorization must be obtained, either by the decree of the parliament or the king's charter, which prohibits the establishment of a consortium like a company entity without the authorization of the parliament or the king.

  Bank loans need to be mortgaged. If there is no mortgage, then follow the loan model of the wool textile industry. Banks must see the factory within a radius of 1.5 miles. If there is no factory, don't take a loan.

  Financing is difficult, business is difficult, and the loan provided by France can be said to be a solution to the urgent need.

   is just disrupting the market?

  Based on Georgiana’s understanding of Bonaparte, he values ​​knowledge more, and the most direct realization of knowledge is patents. If the British factory goes bankrupt, sell the patent to him, so that France can save money on research and development.

It is certainly not free to lend to a company in the UK. It needs a license or something, and then the banker buys it according to his intentions. The factory owner, John Wilkinson, who sent a British landscape painting to Georgianna, had it. The patent of the hydraulic blower, which can improve the quality of iron products while increasing the output.

What's more, iron is not like pure gold. The purer the better, it is necessary to add rich minerals and trace elements. There is a kind of "foam steel", which is to put hot steel on charcoal and carburize it to make the iron surface hard and resistant. The grindability is improved, while the toughness and plasticity of low-carbon steel still remain in the middle.

  The alchemist’s laboratory is not necessarily a chemical experiment. Georgiana also drew a curve, which is the curve of the hardness and toughness of the metal caused by the high temperature generated by magic.

  She didn't care about it, and now she regrets it.

  If there is no Britain in the "goddess space", she will not have herself. This is also a kind of paradox, but this paradox is different from the paradox of time travel, and she herself can't figure out what she is doing.

  She suddenly realized that she didn’t understand the world enough. Except for what Lyle Meyer said, people in this world neither really lived nor died.

  Compared with industry, agriculture is what she is good at. Investors want to invest now, but the fluctuation of shipping is daunting. Just like the British canal, it is not always profitable unless it is as busy as Liverpool.

  Lending to farmers is very stable. They don’t have to find usury if they lack money. Interest-bearers also have interest income. That is, interest rates must be controlled well, otherwise it will become a state lending usury.

  There is a proverb, four generations of wealth and honor go back to life. A failed investment is sometimes faster than squandering the loser, so spending money is a technical job, and many real rich people find it difficult to spend money. For people at the bottom, making money is much harder than spending money. They even agree that making money is hard and spending money quickly.

  Napoleon believed that the best defense is offense. Rather than racking his brains to perfect the "Corn Law" to "defense", proactively attacking North America is also a way. After all, the king who signed the "Paris Peace Treaty" died, although Louis XVI died differently from Henry V and Charles.

But whether it was Bonaparte or someone else who came up with this strategy, they still didn’t know enough about the British. In order to get rid of the bubble bill, they came up with trusts. This kind of trust is not the same as the kind of trust held by the children of the rich. The same is based on "Use".

The creation of   Uss system dates back to the British feudal society in the 13th century. At that time, religious people used to donate their land to the church after death, which made the church's land continue to increase. However, according to the British law at the time, the church’s land was exempt from servitude tax. The rapid increase in church land means a gradual decrease in state service tax revenue. This undoubtedly affected the interests of the king and the feudal aristocracy. Therefore, in the early 13th century, King Henry III of England promulgated the "Confiscation Regulations", stipulating that anyone who donates land to church organizations must obtain the permission of the king, and anyone who sells or donates without authorization must confiscate the land. In response to this new regulation, religious believers have modified their donation behavior. They donate the land to a third party in their will. But at the same time, it is stipulated that the church has the actual right to use the land and the right to profit. This is the "Uss system."

This is part of "history." Georgian didn't study it carefully, so she didn't really understand how those factory owners escaped legal loopholes and set up joint-stock companies. Anyway, the French abacus would fail, and Henry Petty was not in a hurry. .

  Now Georgiana is worried about Alice. She and the kid danced very happily. The lord who was arrogant and ignored in Annecy looked very "normal" at this time.

According to custom, if two families are rivals and the elder son inherits the family business, the younger son will marry the opponent and become son-in-law. They will not change each other’s surnames, but add a bar between the two surnames. , Such as Justin Finch-Finley, and their parents will unite to build a company for them, this approach can provide each family with financial independence.

   "You are terrible." Georgiana murmured, "You actually count girls' marriages like Bonaparte. Don't you know how difficult the marriage between Britain and France is?"

  Just as she was about to find another glass of champagne, she ran into an angry Bonaparte head-on.

  He looked like he was controlling his temper and dragged her to behind a curtain.

   "Who was that person just now?" He asked as if accusingly.

"Who?"

   "Just the British guy who was talking to you just now."

  Georgiana thought for a while. He probably wasn't talking about Henry Becker, the man's hair was all white.

  "You mean Mr. Dumont?" she asked.

  He seemed to be waiting for her to confess.

   "He is a gentleman, you don't need to worry." She pinched his nose "Don't be jealous."

  "Will you be jealous when I am with others?" he asked back.

  "You'd better not experiment and see if I am jealous." She sneered and said, "I won't kill you, Leon, but I will kill your new love just like Medea."

  He didn't feel terrible when he heard it. Instead, his eyes gleamed.

  "Will you be jealous of me?" He said, holding her arm with some joy.

   "The human heart is not experimental." She said coldly, wanting to leave him to find a drink.

  He grabbed her hand and refused to let her go.

   "Do you still want to continue playing?"

"What do you want to do?"

   "How are we going out?"

  She glanced at the guests at the party, what would they think if they found out that they were both gone?

   "Let's go." She said eagerly, and then they sneaked out of the art gallery together.
