Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2436 The Reckless Man's Plan (2)

Charing Cross Street is a noisy and spacious place, where there are large carriage inn houses to see off or wash the dust for tourists, as well as the stables, kennels of the nobles, and of course the essential poor, who always gather at the wharf, Stations and street markets are everywhere.

  The Leaky Cauldron may seem dingy and cramped in the 20th century, but it fits right in with 18th-century Charing Cross. Before the introduction of the International Statute of Secrecy, Muggles were also allowed to enter, although most of them were unaware that the pub was run by wizards.

After the implementation of the International Secrecy Law, although the bar was still allowed to continue to operate, Muggles were not allowed to enter freely. At that time, Diagon Alley was not a special wizard business street. The bar only protected a few shops next to it. More and more wizard shops have set up shop here, crowding out the original butchers.

  Some wizards will leave Diagon Alley after buying wizarding supplies, go to the small Muggle market to buy some vegetables and meat, and then go back with Floo powder at the Leaky Cauldron. Charing Cross used to be prosperous, but now most of those buildings are dilapidated and hopeless. Every day at 12 noon, there will be two very large stalls propped up here to sell "bowpowpie", which is made of meat with strong seasoning, so that people can't taste it. They used to grow on some animal, with a thick crust over the meat filling and lying in big, deep pans, a 1.5p pie that diners usually eat on the spot when they arrive.

  Tiering dogs in noble kennels will bark continuously at this time, and cavalry guards will also appear at this time, so this kind of pie without a name is called "barking pie".

   But this street is also close to Mayfair and Soho, the most radiant neighborhoods in London, often haunted by nobles and foreign guests. The Regent had a man named Nash build a straight street to bring nature to the wealthy people of St James, Mayfair and Marylebone, where they could walk and drink.

This "continental model" originated from the Sun King Louis XIV, but Louis XIV built Versailles on the outskirts of Paris, and planned the Grand Palace in the east of Brussels, although it is the palace in the city center or the Grand Palace that has not been built in the east. Louis XIV never lived, but such a large project in a densely populated area is unheard of.

   Someone like Septimus Malfoy wouldn't go to the streets that smelled of livestock, and he didn't like it, but he still suggested that Spavin go to Georgiana.

  Georgianna didn’t understand either. What could the Regent have to do with her if he was going to build in London? But Spavin felt that someone should take care of this matter. When the gorgeous street was built, the existence of the tattered Leaky Cauldron would be very abrupt. What would happen to the Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley behind it?

When Spavin finished saying what he had to say, he woke Henry Petty, who had fallen to the ground, with his wand. Henry Petty looked confused when he stood up, and Georgiana was worried that his brain had been affected. damage.

   "Don't worry, I'm not one of those kids who won't restrain themselves," Spavin said, and left the lounge.

   "Who is that?" Henry Petty asked dazedly.

   "I don't know how to describe it to you." Georgiana said with a headache.

   Just then, the bell rang from downstairs, and the next scene was about to start.

   "I must go," said Georgiana to Henry Petty, then stood up and prepared to leave the lounge.

"Georgianna." Henri Petty stopped her when her hand touched the doorknob, "You can try this, and let Napoleon pool the funds of those who he thinks should be rewarded, Loans to farmers through banks in Lyon."

   "Didn't you hear that Arthur Young was almost hanged?" she asked rhetorically.

   "This is the last thing you need to worry about." Henry Petty said indifferently.

"what?"

   "Wolves always want to eat meat. They will attack their masters when they are hungry. It is better to let them learn to obey orders and eat meat as soon as possible."

   "The wolf has no owner." Georgiana said indifferently, then pushed the door and left the lounge.

The purpose of setting up the "Corn Law" is to protect farmers from going bankrupt because the price of grain is too low. However, when the Corn Law was abolished, the price of grain rose instead of falling, mainly because a large number of local British farmers felt that growing grain was not profitable, and a large number of Abandoned farming, grain imported from abroad alone could not meet the needs of England, even with its relatively small population.

   Then there is the limitation of transportation capacity. Even if the grains in the United States cannot be eaten up in the country, they cannot be shipped to Europe.

  Shipbuilding needs wood, and England has almost all the wood chopped down, and the other is the problem of corruption in naval shipyards.

   She knew that these people were not philanthropists, and that the Lyon weavers were also doing badly, but they became friends with more people. In the past, Georgiana thought that St. Merry had used up Josephine, and when he entered the upper class, she felt that she was not worth the kind of person who clinged to her. It seemed that she was mistaken.

  He and Josephine are both from Martinique and not only have friendships, but also fellow countrymen. More importantly, Josephine has marriage protection. Unlike Georgiana, others will assess the risks of following her. When Bonaparte doesn't love her anymore, or the situation is so bad that the two countries start a war again, then everything will be lost, so There were only a few people around her.

   All her efforts felt in vain. Of course, she can also choose to be blind. As long as she can't see some things, her heart will not be bothered. She can enjoy all that mistress status has to offer, but then she's like those who are lost in this world.

   For some people, the view from the window is a must, like drinking coffee in a luxury apartment in a New York skyscraper overlooking Central Park. The forest is beautiful from a distance, but as soon as you walk into the forest, that sense of beauty disappears. This forest is not just for joggers and happy families with dogs playing on the grass.

   Such is the state of happiness and joy of human beings, we are always envious of others from a distance, "not yet" is indeed more attractive than "existing", and someone will pay any price for what they want.

  Napoleon's empire is over, Bonaparte is not as single-minded as the legend, why did she leave Severus for those things she didn't need?

   She can also pretend that she can't hear the well-known fact that others say, "Love Saint" is not in love with Lily.

  If she had nothing, like a wanderer in the forest, when she looked up at the man overlooking the landscape from the window of the mansion, she...

   "Mrs."

  Georgianna looked at the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared, although he looked harmless, she remained vigilant.

   "Please don't treat those assassins' bodies that way."

   "What are you doing!" The guards noticed the anomaly and rushed over quickly, one of them even took off his hat.

   "Be merciful." The middle-aged man was still shouting "please be merciful."

  Georgianna looked downstairs, and although most of the people had gone, there were some who didn't, and they were looking at her.

   After a while, they all turned their eyes and walked towards the door, their footsteps hurried, as if a monster was chasing behind them.
