Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2356 Red Queen and White Queen (middle)

  Pomona is a horticulturalist, not an agronomist. In Snape's words, she takes care of the garden, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have any basic knowledge of agronomy.

Repeated cropping, also known as continuous cropping obstacle, refers to the continuous planting of the same crop on a piece of land, which not only takes away the fertility of the soil, but also leaves pests and diseases. Potato late blight is largely caused by the repeated planting of a species. of potatoes.

However, high-yield potatoes can solve the food shortage problem. Belgium, which has fertile soil, does not have to worry about the food problem. However, the export of food leads to the need to plant potatoes to solve the problem of food and clothing. If labor from abroad is added, the gap will be even greater. More potatoes need to be planted, and the late blight that Georgiana fears could break out in Belgium.

   She hopes that she thinks too much. When a normal person hears the Irish, the first thing that comes to mind is cheap labor. Who would think of this like her?

Originally, she also came to Belgium to promote sugar beet planting. Rotation can change the ecological conditions of farmland, increase biodiversity, and improve soil. Beet root secretions can inhibit the occurrence of potato late blight, but it is necessary to convince a group of people who cannot eat enough to plant it.” Damn" sugar is not so easy.

   She never dreamed that Ghent was the first to accept it. Thanks to the "help" of the archbishop, Napoleon also did him a "little favor" and restored the annuities of his nieces.

To convince the Archbishop of Mechelen, he also needs some conditions. Bonaparte has relaxed, allowing them to open non-medieval schools, and it may also include allowing Bianju to continue to exist. He supports women to go to monasteries, saying that they can cultivate sexuality, only It was said that children should not grow up in a monastery, they should go to school anyway.

This seems to be more lenient than Joseph II, but the act of confiscating books can easily lead to bad associations, but if she is like Mary of Burgundy, retreating step by step in order to gain the approval of the local people will also weaken For herself, she can only comfort herself, this is not to restrict freedom of speech, but to deal with "waste newspapers".

   She herself wanted to write a book on "The Dangerous Relationship Between Cropping and Rotation", but late blight has not yet appeared, so she can't prove that beetroot can "cure" late blight.

   However, it is too late to plant sugar beets when late blight occurs, so what is the use of "foreseeing" the future.

  Some vampire worshipers have fantasized about the method of "first embrace", which can obtain the power of "eternal life" from vampires. If someone tells them that the power of vampires cannot be shared with them, they will not be able to bear it.

People will choose what they want to believe. The formation of this "prejudice" is also based on original memory. They will continue to collect all kinds of evidence consistent with this old impression in memory and reality, and ignore those that are consistent with the inherent impression. contradicting facts.

  For example, people preconceived that the Prussians were not stern, but found that a cheerful, smiling and dancing Prussian could not change people's inherent impression of them, but felt that this person was a strange and special Prussian.

   Stereotypes and labelled perceptions provide an answer to an age-old question: People will continue to believe lies even when the truth is revealed.

The Muggle Dursleys thought that James Potter was unemployed and alcoholic, while Lily was a rebellious girl. After marrying him, she gave birth to a child who could not raise them, and put Harry at the door of the Dursleys, Fenon and Penny. It was "kindness" that didn't send him to the orphanage.

  The Dursleys have a house, a car and a vacation, because they are regular people, not "black sheep".

   In fact, to deal with the problem of repeated cropping, it is also possible to adjust the fertilizer formula according to the soil conditions. Organic fertilizers made from vegetable leaves, fish scales, etc. are like plant ash, and the useful content is very low, only 25%, while industrial alkali is much higher. There are too few active ingredients in organic fertilizers. The use of chemical agents can accurately control the formula ratio, but it will also produce residues. Improper or excessive fertilization will also lead to soil compaction, acidification, and salinization, which not only reduces yield, but also damages the environment. Therefore, it is very important to strictly control and adjust the fertilizer formula.

Tartar is usually found in high quality wines, like blood clotting, which is not harmful, there are minerals in the grapes, the riper the grapes, the higher the chance of tartar production, but in places with less understanding of wine, it is considered that it is Harmful substances are the manifestation of wine deterioration. After filtering the tartar, it looks clear and clean, but the original taste of the wine has also changed.

  Alum is very common in tap water. It is used to disinfect tap water. If the water factory adds more alum to the water one day, when you turn on the faucet, you can see that it is not clear liquid, but milky white.

Alumite was mined before it was found synthetically, and the fairs in Bruges were once the center of European trade, where wool from the whole British Isle, lead and tin from Cornwall, and tin from the north of England could be bought. Coal, copper from Ireland, eagles and hides from Norway, peas, butter, horses from Denmark, salted herring, skins from Sweden and Russia, precious metals from Bohemia and Hungary, wine from the Rhine, leather from Spain, olive oil , canvas, silk, figs, and rice, sugar, pepper, spices, gold thread, and alum from North Africa and Asia Minor.

The Hundred Years War between England and France in the 14th century made the economy sluggish for a time, but the economy recovered again around 1380, and Bruges became the metropolis of northern Europe. The period of Burgundian rule coincided with the period of economic recovery. Wealth gave good man Philip the idea of ​​becoming the new European leader and held a feast of pheasants.

   The use of alum as a dye was an "open secret" in the guild at first, but it was later known by a tax collector, so alum or alum stone became an important tax source.

  The Flemish people in the 14th century used to brew beer with spices instead of hops. Hops are both flavoring agents and preservatives. Before this, the formula of this spice was monopolized by the nobility and the church.

But in 1462, alum mines were discovered in the territory of the Papal State. At that time, Pope Paul II saved his own expenses for the crusades and various expenses of the church. After discovering the "gold mine", he immediately sent agents to sell everywhere. , but Italian merchants in Bruges continued to sell Turkish alums. In 1491, Antwerp established a trading center for the sale of papal alums. During this period, a riot against Maximilian I broke out in Bruges. Originally, foreign merchants should return in 1492. Started to continue trading, but most European traders chose Antwerp, and the commercial center was also transferred from Bruges to Antwerp.

   In fact, even if the canals were silted up and the boats could not get in, people would still use their hands and carts to complete the final transfer of the goods. The Englishmen saw the situation was not good, so they sent the fabrics to Antwerp to be dyed.

At this time, Spanish wool also began to be exported. In 1493, Pope Alexander VI drew a meridian line. Antwerp happened to belong to Spain's "sphere of influence". However, Antwerp became the trading center of Portuguese colonial goods, mainly spices. 15 Although South America was discovered at the beginning of the century, silver mines were not discovered. It was not until the second half of the 15th century that prospecting began. Before that, the silver that the Portuguese needed to do business with Asia was mainly provided by Central Europe, and Antwerp was also the Central European region to obtain Baltic wood. and Spanish leather place.

   Bruges was just "forgotten".

   Although Antwerp is a small bank that cannot provide the funds of state-owned banks, it is the center of currency exchange. Not only Austria had Maria Theresa Thaler, but Prussia also had Frederick the Great Thaler. Although Maria Theresa Thaler is well-made and contains high silver content, Ottoman Turkey signed a treaty with Austria, and Austrian merchants can do business in Ottoman without having to exchange them for Ottoman currency, which can be understood as a "currency treaty". In the same way, you can also sign a "currency treaty", which stipulates which countries must exchange their currency for francs and then trade in the French dominion.

  Denmark's finance minister called it a currency union, Sweden had intended to marry Prussia, a marriage that didn't happen, and if they succeeded the nascent country would have a monopoly on Baltic trade.

Denmark's Copenhagen is located in the Sond Strait, and Sweden's Malmö Port is also there. The difference between the two is that Copenhagen is on the west coast of the strait, and Malmö is on the east coast of the strait. Copenhagen was bombarded by the British Navy, but Malmö, Sweden did not. These merchant ships passing through the strait went to Sweden to pay taxes.

   Originally, Denmark and the United Kingdom had a marriage, but George III's sister Caroline was expelled, and her husband was unable to handle the government because of mental illness, and the current state affairs are represented by the crown prince. There was speculation that he would marry a step-grandmother and a Prussian princess supported by Frederick the Great, but he ended up choosing a princess from the Hesse-Kassel family, which had marriages to Denmark and England.

  In 1800, Britain tried to get Denmark to join the blockade of France, and all trade was stopped during the war, which also hit Britain. Denmark joined the Alliance of Armed Neutrality with the support of the crown prince. The United Kingdom asked Denmark to withdraw from the alliance, but Denmark refused, so there was a bombardment of Copenhagen.

  Denmark's finance minister was originally here to "see", but he intervened in the destruction of "forbidden books", even if he wanted to be invisible.

Not only did Sharptar improve the way gunpowder was made in France, bypassing the British trade sanctions, which the French dubbed the "Saltpeter Revolution," but he deciphered the dyeing process of red cloth in Turkey, which brought him a marriage , and ruined a lucrative Ottoman trade.

  He used the chlorine bleaching method from Berteau when he cracked it. Georgiana had also seen Berteau come, and he helped her bleach and re-dye some old silks in stock. Bertollet was also the doctor of the Duke of Orleans, and Bertollet's bleaching agent did not require salt, which made it cheaper than the cotton cloth that needed to be bleached with industrial caustic soda made by the Roubland process.

  Even if Britain stole the Roblanc Alkali process, unless Britain abolished the salt tax, how could the British abolish the salt tax support the military spending needed for the anti-French alliance war?

  Napoleon restored the salt tax, and he could collect taxes on the alkali-making enterprises in an upright manner, as long as Berto did not leak the secrets.

   Boyle defines acid-base as "hypothetical hostility" and "salt is the combination of an acid and a base", such as hydrochloric acid and base to produce salt, water and carbon dioxide. But this industrially produced sodium chloride and salt industrially produced sodium chloride are not edible because they contain heavy metal residues, which are produced during the manufacturing process. Concentrated sulfuric acid and copper do not react at room temperature, but will react after heating, and this is also the disadvantage of the Lubran alkali method, which will cause corrosion to equipment.

   She remembered that Bernadotte seemed to be attacking a city that seemed to be good at making brass frieze.

   She shook her head and ended her "delusion".

  Due to Cardos' leak, the Magical Congress of the United States is not sure whether the Forgetting Curse has erased everyone's memory. Now she has the same problem, and the French Ministry of Magic is not sure how many people have heard the "Judgment Angel" Maria's roar.

  Although Grindelwald has a "Heavenly Eye", but Albus deliberately tried to deceive him, he couldn't see through.

   Grindelwald is not like Voldemort, he still loves Albus, he wears a blood oath around his neck, strangulation will kill people. His erratic performance at the conference site may make people feel disappointed. Where is the eloquent careerist who talks in Paris, confuses right and wrong, confuses black and white, and eloquently?

  Love makes people blind, and the first half of the name of the Greek **** of love, Aphrodite, means unwise.

  If he had lost his mind at the time, he might have said to Albus, "Why are you trying to deceive me? I never meant to hurt you."

It was so embarrassing, just like the man who lied to many women, but pretended to be in love with his dead wife, just when he was about to repeat his old tricks, "ex-girlfriends" came to the door and in public Beat him up.

  Not all men are the same as him, but his existence will lower the IQ and level of the men in the entire street, so embarrassing that all witnesses are ashamed of him.

   Grindelwald's performance was okay, not completely broken, just a little incoherent.

   Grindelwald is also human, and everyone has weaknesses.

  In his letter to Albus, he said that the great white wizard was a hypocrite, and he really understood Albus the best.

   When she walked to the door of the church and looked at the altar she had stood on before, she had a very weird feeling.

  There is a world famous painting, which depicts the coronation of Napoleon. After he put the crown on himself, he put it on Josephine.

As Racine wrote of Andromocques de Prius: I give you my crown, with my heart, Andromoc, to rule Abil and rule me at the same time, I swear, will The camaraderie of fatherhood to your son.

   It’s a pity that Ou Ren lost his right of inheritance. Lucian has already told her, don’t mention it, let alone plead for Ou Ren.

  Josephine told her through Reynolds that she approached the handsome dart cavalry in order to find out about the news in the council. What if it was a lie she deliberately made up? Believe her Georgiana doesn't look silly?

  She is not a smart person, but she wants to prove that she is wise, and if she lacks, she wants to prove what she has.

   She smiled wryly and turned away.
