Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 2014 Thickness of Crucible (9)

In the 1840s, when rinderpest was encountered in central England, an educated boy would pray instead of putting all the faults on the wizard like people in the Middle Ages, and find a "witch" to bear the burden. Guilt.

Joshua Wedgwood was originally born and raised in Staffordshire. Like many apprentices, he followed his brother to make pottery in the family workshop left behind by his father at the age of 9, but the rinderpest caused many people to instantly Having lost the cattle, the most important property of the peasant family, they had to work in the factory.

  Staffordshire is also considered an industrial area, but Wedgwood went to Birmingham as an adult. It is indeed a noisy, dirty, chaotic, and unplanned city. However, it is not bound by rules, free from ancient guilds, and the creativity of "making the brain boil" makes it one of the centers of the "Enlightenment" of the Industrial Revolution. one.

  At that time, Birmingham did not have a large steelmaking plant or manufacturing plant. It was mainly composed of independent self-employed individuals. Many apprentices who escaped came here. Some of them continued to work on the skills they had learned before, like Wedgwood, and some turned to businessmen. At that time, the Bolton family was still in the belt buckle business. At that time, the manufacturers would ride out on their own, with a pistol on the belt so that they could defend themselves against robbers on the road.

Even if some people are not Robin Hood, they have plans to "rob the rich and help the poor". On the way, these manufacturers may join forces with textile manufacturers in Manchester, knife manufacturers in Sheffield, or pottery workers in Staffordshire. Robber blocking the way.

Not as wild as the American West, but the road is definitely not as described in "Pride and Prejudice". The extent to which a girl and two elderly couples can travel freely in a carriage by themselves. The rule of law and order is also an assessment of the county guard. one.

  It is also possible that Pembery’s law and order is indeed good. Anyway, Elizabeth arrived safely at Mr. Darcy’s manor and was shocked by his wealth.

  Georgiana counted the time. Jane Austen seems to be alive, but she has not yet started her writing career. How can Georgian express her "famous admiration for a long time" to her?

   In short, Georgiana feels that it is necessary to investigate the Moonlight Society. There are many dreamers whose dreams may be good at first, but they change when they become reality. The voting rules designed in the United States Constituent Assembly are an example. The second best may not be willing to cooperate with the first, and conflicts due to political disagreements.

  Albus once said that people who forgot how to listen to a child would not care.

  The Victorian politician Palmerston famously said: There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

  Because it is profitable, the steward of the parish orphanage will sign an agreement with the factory. This kind of abandoning the future has basic shortcomings, but thanks to the "apprenticeship", the UK has formed a monopoly of high-count yarns in the short term.

  The purpose of the machine at first was to save manpower, but now it has become a tool that brings inequality, turmoil, and pain.

  Wedgwood and Bolton participated in Irish tariff and trade negotiations, turning the trade treaty to their advantage. These two people not only this time, but the teapot that Napoleon dropped when the Treaty of Campo Formio was signed was made by Wedgwood, and the teapot was given to the Earl of Corbenz by Queen Ekaterina. In 1774 Wedgwood made more than 900 sets of off-white tableware for Ekaterina, and Wedgwood had the title of "Queen's Ceramics". With this title, he and Bolton went into the upper class and promoted Wedgwood together. Porcelain, which allowed Wedgwood to continue to thrive despite the depression of many companies after the Seven Years' War.

  He is an ambitious potter. Men may not understand what women think, but he can hire women to design patterns for pottery. Generally, only women care about the patterns on ceramics.

  "Do you remember the pattern on the teapot you dropped at the Earl of Corbenz?" Georgina asked suddenly.

   Bonaparte, who was drinking coffee, was stunned by the question.

   "Don't care." Georgiana said blankly, and continued to read the Times in her hand.

Wedgwood has trained many amateur artists, especially educated women. The "Queen Ceramics" they designed is not in Rococo style, but in neoclassical and Renaissance style. The most important thing is that their new porcelains have The idyllic models are advertised in newspapers.

  Georgiana also gave a lot of Sevres porcelain to the European royal family. She chose the flower pattern at the time, which looked very "pastoral".

  Whether it is pottery or glass, alkali is required for the glazing process. During the Seven Years’ War, Spain’s supply of alkali ceased. At that time, Spain also provided alkaloids from hog hair grass. In the past, the alkali used by people was mainly from "pearl ash" extracted from charcoal, but as the forests of Scotland decreased, " The supply of "soda ash" can only take a different approach. The effects of kelp ash, Nordic soda ash, and "pearl ash" in the United States are not very good. Did Georgiana think of restricting the export of French soda ash in order to improve the competitiveness of Sèvres ceramics? She didn't. She was still thinking about fair competition and how to surpass Wedgwood in porcelain design.

  I’m such a kind person~

  She slammed the newspaper with job advertisements on the table with a snap, and then began to eat breakfast.

   Bonaparte looked at her with weird eyes, like looking at some kind of rare animal.

   "What are you doing?" she asked fiercely.

  He shook his head and continued to read the newspaper.

  She didn't understand what was good about that newspaper, but she didn't say anything. Now the British and French newspapers are restrained and have not attacked each other, except for very few people.

  Napoleon and Otense's scandal spread to the UK, even Dieppe knew about it. This is the information provided by Matilda in the morning, and she eavesdropped on the maids who served them last night.

  The culprit who printed this scandal has been arrested by the United Kingdom. He is the one who likes to use a guillotine to decapitate chickens in his backyard.

  The blame is here, she easily believes that this is a scandal, even if everyone says it is conclusive.

  But she always suspected that Severus was still thinking of Lily.

This may be because it was Severus’ memory that Harry saw from the penis. He didn’t even suspect that the memory was falsified. Harry had also encountered Slughorn to hide the connection of the Horcrux. In order to get a false memory, he also used a blessing potion in order to obtain a real memory.

  Is it because she desperately hopes that it is a fake memory? But she knew in her heart that it was true, and everything else was her fantasy.

  The man sitting across from her, eating breakfast and reading newspapers in home slippers, has committed war crimes.

  She felt a strong nausea, but she did not condemn him or think he is dirty.

   "What are you looking at?" He stared at the newspaper as if he didn't care.

   "You told me that it is a kind of happiness to be able to use your talents." Georgiana said, "but I still want a pure soul."

  He turned his gaze from the newspaper to her.

   "Don't you think I am ridiculous?" She smiled bitterly, "I think I am more and more like Melanie, because I need to live on Scarlett, so I choose to tolerate it."

  "Who are they?" he asked.

   "My tolerance is limited, Leon, after all, I am not a virtuous woman."

  He put the newspaper on the table and held her hand across the table with the hand wearing the bracelet.

   "Your opinion is useful to me, you will know it when you arrive in Antwerp."

   "Why come to Antwerp?" she asked.

  "Mystery is not unique to you women." He said with a smile, then took his hand back and concentrated on eating breakfast.

  She felt that no matter how she clarified, she might not be able to convince others that she had no intention of cheating at the beginning, let alone him.

  But the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say anything, it is better to take advantage of the benefits it brings.

  Salazar Slytherin once banned Muggle seeds from entering Hogwarts to study. She felt that she could not be as absolute as him, but strict screening was necessary.

   Doing this will make people think that she is pure blood, but she is sleeping with a Muggle, how can it be counted?

  Power cannot be given to the wrong person, otherwise they will bring more harm than without power.

  If Voldemort had stayed in the Muggle orphanage, he would be a terrifying child at best and would not become a darklord.

   "I haven't finished the story on the beach last night. In the British Museum, I saw a crucible made of silver with a snake with horns on it."

   "I saw it." Bonaparte said, "You call it a long-horned water snake."

   "Some scholars believe that the native place of long-horned water snake is the United States, but this silver pot and other documents prove that it is produced in Western Europe..."

  He listened patiently to her, and did not interrupt.

  She observed his expression, trying to tell if he thought she was annoying.

  In other words, he felt that she was telling stories and didn't take it seriously.

  After all, they are not people living in the same world, and she does not want to convince him to identify with herself.

  Mythology is still a Muggle, and she will never ask him whether he believes in magic or not.
