Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2426 royalcircus (nine)

   There is such a fairy tale, there is a blond girl, her mother told her to go to a neighboring village to buy muffins, and her mother told her not to take shortcuts in the forest, but she refused to listen, and then she got lost in the forest. She walked and walked, went to the depths of the forest, and found a beautiful house. At that time, she was hungry and tired. Seeing that the door of the house was unlocked, she went in. She found that there were fragrant food on the table. Three sizes of bowls are placed, and the beds are also divided into three sizes, large, medium and small.

   She chose and fell asleep in her favorite bed after eating and drinking. When she woke up, she found three bears standing beside the bed. She screamed and jumped out of the windowsill and ran away.

  Economists call this the "Goldilocks Effect", which means that when the economy is good, when a bear appears, it means the good times are over. The Magical Congress of the United States had announced that Silence had completely disappeared in America before 1926, but when Newt Scamander appeared in New York, he encountered an Silence.

   It was the last boom before the Great Depression, which had swept the world by the time of the 1930 Wizards Union election. According to Newt's description, Credence's destructive power is one of the best among the silent ones, at least much stronger than Felix Young, the silent one that Pomona once encountered. Yes, although this child has both parents, he is the descendant of illegal immigrants.

The environment of the silent ones requires a conscious attempt to suppress their magical powers. They don't want to make too much noise, be targeted by the immigration, and then be sent back to the country, and even Felix received an admission to Hogwarts. They also lost the letter, because they didn't believe in any magic school at all, thinking it was a lie.

Second Salem believed in the existence of magic, and went to the newspaper tycoon with evidence. Henry Shaw Jr. had to run in New York, but the party was disturbed by Credence, and Henry Shaw Jr. Dead because he called Credence's gang "freak."

   The Witchcraft Act of 1735 prohibits anyone from claiming to have supernatural powers, pretending to be able to cause fear, anxiety, or an enchantment that hurts.

   The "International Wizarding Secrecy Act" prohibits the use of magic in front of Muggles, but the silent are no longer human, and the wizard is obliged to hide the magical animals in their activity area, although the Muggle's eyes cannot see the silent. In fact, little Henry Xiao did not refer to Credence alone, but Credence managed so much. Peng Bai's killing intent made Credence fall into darkness wherever he went.

Felix once destroyed the Leaky Cauldron at the entrance of Diagon Alley. He is not Harry Potter. Admission is not that important. In fact, not every admission letter sent by Hogwarts will come. , this has been the case since ancient times.

   Some wizarding parents prefer to teach themselves, some go to foreign schools, and other bizarre reasons.

At first Pomona thought he was being controlled, but then she realized that Felix was jealous of the little wizards with wizard candies and toys in their hands. The glass in the record store also shattered, and Pomona nearly got hurt.

Children are very capricious. There was a textile factory in Lancashire called "Gate of Hell". By the standards of the time, a factory owner who employed 3,000 child laborers in twelve years, only four apprentices died. And none of them were punished, and such factory owners were called merciful and worthy of remembrance forever. If he made his apprentices work twelve hours a day, he was a particularly humane boss.

Child laborers are generally illiterate, and even if they receive an admission letter from Hogwarts, they don't know how to go to school to learn to master control magic. In addition, in this era, there is no separation of the Muggle community from the wizarding community. Muggles can often The more you see weird things happening, the more you need the Witcher Act.

  The health of the apprentices is worrying. Robert Peel introduced the Factory Act after a fever appeared in his factory. He was a conscientious employer, and the "gates of hell" were usually "parochial apprentices" in church orphanages. William Pitt, Jr. did say in a public speech in 1796 that the sums earned by children are sufficient to support themselves, relieve the burden of the state, and add to the wealth of the nation. So a pastor thought that children over the age of six who could not spin cotton, and those over the age of nine who could not spin wool or put linen would not be able to get relief.

   But there are also some parents who have children just so that the children can support themselves, and the parents are the mean bosses of the children. This kind of organizational structure is very common among pickpockets. Usually, there is an adult in a pickpocket organization. He controls all the little pickpockets. The little pickpockets risk being hanged to steal wallets and hand them over to adults. People assign some to the little pickpockets, and he takes the rest, or keeps some for himself, or gives it to the upper-level organization.

   Even if you are unhealthy, as long as you reach adulthood and have children, you can make a living in this way. In addition, child labor is needed in spinning mills, but manpower is still needed to weave cloth, even though someone has invented the hydraulic spinning machine.

   So the more children, the better their lives. A strict female teacher can supervise 200 little girls to keep spinning. How many students dare to question what the teacher is doing wrong?

  For outsiders, it is even more difficult for children to refuse the demands made by their parents. Even if there is no harsh environment, the work imposed on children will make them overwhelmed. In the gold rush era, people's requirements for clothes are strong and wear-resistant, jeans have replaced the non-wear-resistant muslin, and the downhill of the textile industry is inevitable.

   A Prussian once said: Repression leads to treacherousness.

After these child laborers have been squeezed out of the last bit of value, they are put into the public life of the country. It is not so much that they discriminate against the law. It is better to say that there is no other way. In the book of Job, Satan said, "Humanity will use everything to survive." , they are not born they can not decide.

The carriage drove all the way out of Brussels and came to a village called Metz. If the industrial area of ​​Mechelen has just started, then it is already quite large. A blacksmith shop has been built, and black smoke is coming from the chimney. , not far away there are several horses waiting to be nailed.

   There are also shops for maintenance of carriages, a hotel for people to rest, and a simple wooden platform, which is currently set up, and several well-dressed people are standing on it.

   There is a large building complex under construction not far away, there are warehouses, and goods from Antwerp can go to Brussels in the future.

  Besides coal, Belgium has no resources, and almost relies on exports to earn income, but for the Free Mason Alliance, these are things in the future. The first thing they have to do is to build houses.

   A wooden plank road was built on the ground at the parking place, so that you don't have to step in the mud. When Georgiana walked to the platform, a woman suddenly came over and hugged her enthusiastically.

   "Here you are, Georgiana."

   "You...you are..."

   "Don't recognize me?" The woman smiled proudly. "Is it your fault that the potion works so well?"

   "You are Mrs. Bolsky?" cried Georgiana in surprise.

   The woman smiled ambiguously, as if acquiescing.

   "Let's go, everyone else is waiting for us."

   After she turned to leave, Padma leaned over, "You used the youth potion on her?"

   "There is no such thing," said Georgiana viciously.

   "Then what did she use?"

   "Probably a beauty potion."

   "The beauty potion works so well?" Padma said in disbelief.

   "How do I know." Georgiana said impatiently, "I'm not a master of potions, let alone a French wizard who gave her potions. Nick Lemay made the Philosopher's Stone in Paris."

   "Could that not be a beauty potion?" Padma asked.

   "Why do you have so many questions." Georgiana said impatiently, holding her skirt and walking towards the crowd.
