Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2339 The Magic Flute of Variations (Part 2)

   "I did it," Snape said as he packed up the potion experiment equipment.

   "What?" Pomona said in surprise.

   He looked at her with a "you're inexplicable" look.

   "No... how did you know?" she asked in confusion.

   "James Potter wants to ask Lily to go with you, do you know how chaotic it is outside?" he said in a harsh voice, "I don't believe the two of them can keep her safe."

   She was silent for a moment, and Snape, seeing that she was silent, continued to clean the cauldron.

   "I told Lily that James liked her and she didn't believe it."

   "So you told the principal to stop them from dating?" Pomona asked.

   He was so angry that he put the washed cauldron aside and made an unpleasant noise.

   "And you too, why did you agree?" He asked in a reproachful tone.

   "I haven't been to a concert." She answered honestly.

   "So you agreed to Sirius Black's invitation?"

   She thought he was inexplicable.

   And Snape had turned and left the Potions classroom.

===================================================== =============

  Marie Antoinette is known as the "Queen of Deficits". In fact, when there is a deficit, in addition to raising taxes and saving expenses, there is another way to print money.

   Coins are not minted as quickly and as cheaply as paper money, so hyperinflation is much slower.

As a centralized country, Marseille does not have the right to mint coins like the princes of the Holy Roman Empire. Usually, the silver coins produced from silver ingots are much more, because both gold coins and silver coins must be mixed with other metals, otherwise they are like gold and silver. Such soft metals are easily worn away.

   In fact, gold and silver are formed through transmutation when stars die, not through the so-called alchemy in ancient times, or the backward chemistry that some people think. Before the death of a star, it must go through an expansion process, and the expansion of a star does not start when it is nearing death. It has been expanding, but it will expand at an accelerated rate when it is nearing death, such as the sun, which has only the current size of the sun when it is just born. 87% or so.

  However, a low-mass star like the sun cannot produce too much gold and silver. Its mass is too small. When nuclear fusion reaches a certain stage, the carbon-dominated core will shrink, while more massive stars will shrink with iron as the core.

  The sun is just a celestial body, it is not worthy of worship, just like other planets in the solar system, it was formed from the debris left by the death of the previous star and the gravitational pull of the black hole. The gold and silver on Earth may be left in the dust left over from the explosion of a previous star, or it may be brought by meteors called "interstellar travelers", which come from other galaxies that may not have Life is born like Earth, because their stars are so big, but when supernova explosions produce more precious metals than stars the size of the sun, they attach to meteors and come to Earth.

During the Hadean Era, the earth was still in a molten state, and no land was formed. The surface was full of magma, like a hot magma ball. The meteors that fell into the magma lake were like sugar cubes that fell into hot water. It disappeared, but the substances it carried entered the circulation system of the earth, some came to the surface, and some came to the mantle.

   Since gold is an inert metal, it is difficult to chemically react with other substances, only mercury can dissolve gold. When gold is mined, it retains its metallic luster, and gold prospectors can even find gold particles in the silt.

  Silver is also an inert metal, but it is easier to oxidize than gold, and silver will turn black after oxidation. Copper is usually oxidized to form patina, but the product of copper oxidation is not only patina, but also black copper oxide. Emerald-green patina requires water to participate. When copper is placed in a dry desert, it forms patina. The speed will be much slower, the more humid the faster the reaction speed. When the silver on the surface of the "black coin" is ground off, the alloy copper is exposed to the air. To make this alloy copper appear as black as silver after oxidation also requires certain formulas and skills. Copper is also an inactive metal. , although copper oxide is black, it requires high temperature to generate.

  The body surface temperature of most humans will not exceed 40 degrees Celsius, so the chemical composition of the "black coin" surface needs to be tested. It may be blackened grease, which is used by commoners to buy daily necessities, and it is rare for them to see the Golden Louis for the last time in their lives.

  The soldier who found Louis XVI said that he identified the king in disguise by the head of Louis XVI on the money, which is indeed possible, because soldiers were sometimes paid in gold coins.

But it is also possible that someone taught him to say that. It is very likely that it is the few people who control the king's carriage and horses, which can prevent them from running away. However, Louis XVI chose to persuade the locals to let them go, if everyone wanted to let them go. It's no use over the king and controlling his horse.

  Most people had been persuaded by him until the Mayor and his wife appeared, at which point the Queen began to beg the Mayor's wife...

   The decision of life and death is often in the blink of an eye.

  After the bankruptcy of France in 1790, in order to get rid of the financial difficulties, in addition to confiscation of a large number of educational properties, the securities, which were secured by land, began to be issued in unlimited quantities.

  Prussia's currency is also thaler. Before Frederick the Great set a unified standard in 1753, Germany's currency system was very chaotic. Coupled with tariffs, it was difficult for materials and people to circulate between countries.

As the years passed, more and more Maria Theresa coins were minted and their usefulness increased, and in the Near East the coins were also used as ornaments and jewelry, with the gorgeously dressed bust of Teresa watching Exquisitely detailed, this resulted in the Austrian thaler gaining such recognition in the Eastern Mediterranean trade that after Maria Theresa's death Austria still cast her thaler rather than the head of her successor.

  The Ottoman Sultan also signed a treaty with Austria in 1784, German merchants were not required to pay import and export taxes on non-Ottoman currencies, and they were not required to convert their holdings into Ottoman currency upon entry.

The Levant is an inexact geographic name referring to a large area in the Middle East south of the Taurus Mountains, west of the Mediterranean Sea, north of the Arabian Desert, and east of Upper Mesopotamia, which has been in use since the Middle Ages. It is also known as the Levant Thaler because of the significant presence of Maria Theresa Thaler in East-West trade.

  Ginzburg, located on the Danube, used to be the place where the Levant thaler was made, and after Austria lost the war, the dies for the coin were shipped to Vienna.

   This coin was not only used for trade, but was also used by the Ottoman monarchs to pay for the military. However, they did not have molds, so they handed over gold and silver to Western "economic men", and they could also become a business by exporting Levant talers.

To do this business, you need to understand financial knowledge such as foreign exchange. Some people also earn commissions directly, but they are responsible for transporting the money to designated locations in the Ottoman Empire. Similar to Gabriel Uflare, who contracted the transportation of Spanish silver coins, they have their own In order to prevent the pirates from being armed, the merchants of Marseille blocked the Mediterranean offshore shipping to a certain extent.

"Campo Formio" made Austria lose Belgium and large swathes of Italian land, but gained Venice, Trieste, the Terla Peninsula, the Dalmatian coastal area, the Adriatic Sea, and more There were four galleons belonging to Venice, and on this basis Austria could develop its own navy.

  Although it is necessary to bypass the Alps from Austria to Lister, it is at least a sea port, and Austria is not currently a completely landlocked country.

  The Dutch West India Company approached Georgiana and the Lyons, who were interested in the coffee trade, which accounted for one third of France's total import and export trade.

Currency is not the only means of circulation. When there was a shortage of gold and silver in ancient times, people also used pepper, silk, salt, etc. as currency. The Turks could also exchange their coffee with the French for woolen, so Languedo was on the verge of disintegration. The gram industrial area can also survive, currently they are barely supported by the uniform of the army.

Would    be that simple?

She recalled the Snape who was pulling his black cloak, striding through Hogwarts like a bat with outstretched wings, passing through the crowd like Moses splitting the Red Sea wherever he went, who could have imagined how miserable he was when he was reading Sample.

Unlike Jaime, Sirius can be dangerous at times with his "mischief", once leading Severus in front of the transformed Remus Lupin, if not for Jaime's Animagus to block him With Remus, Severus would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

   Or worse, turn into a werewolf.

Sirius was very loyal to his friends, but not to his enemies, but he had changed a lot since he escaped from Azkaban. Every time the Order of the Phoenix held a meeting, Severus could easily arouse Sirius' anger. Nep's expression was as delightful as Albus's when he saw him in a throbbing pain and listening to chamber music.

   He didn't say he hated music, but the way he looked gloomy every time made it seem like he hated it.

   This happened before Remus was the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, so it's safe to say that it had nothing to do with Neville's Boggart or the music played in that class.

   Later, Remus' identity was revealed, and Neville was retaliated the following year, when Snape actually asked him to dissect a horned toad that looked similar to his pet Laifu.

   If he comes to her in the future, how will he punish her?

   Even if she wanted to use another person to make herself forget him, it would be very difficult, it seems that the two of them are quite similar.

  The Beatles have a song called "yesterday":

  Yesterday, allmytroublesseemedsofaraway, yesterday all my problems seemed to be gone,

  Nowitlooksasthoughthey'reheretostay, now it looks like they're still there,

  Suddenly, I\'mnothalftheman Iusedtobe, suddenly, I am not what I used to be,

  Theresashadowhangingoverme, shadows hang over me,

  WhyshehadtogoIdon\'tknowshewouldn\'tsay, why she had to leave, I don't know, she didn't say,

  Isaidsomethingwrong, nowIlongforyesterday, I seem to have said something wrong, and now I am desperate for yesterday.

   It's such a pity that that concert wasn't seen as the Beatles, **** "snitch", it's a good thing for a bad guy.
