Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 2924 The Graphics of the Earth (Part 1)

   All life that is not available, is unavailable throughout eternity.

  In the purely material world, there may be many identical you, and any choice you make in life has actually happened. But it is difficult to find the "right choice" to live the life we ​​want.

  This is what Nietzsche said about eternal reincarnation.

  Until you find a reason in your life that you can accept the cycle of life, regard all pain as a necessary step in life, and then accept it peacefully.

   Like if you have a time-turner and can go back to any time to "change history", but you choose not to.

Albus lost his sister Arianna, if only he could go back to the moment when Aberforth and Grindelwald faced off, or maybe earlier, when the three Muggle kids attacked Arianna and drove them away , everything might be different.

   At this moment, there was a knock on the office door, and Pomona put down the book in his hand.

   "Come in."

   As the door was pushed open, Liz Stewart walked in.

   "You look for me, Dean." Liz said.

   "Long time no see." Pomona smiled and said, "How is your conservation base?"

   "It's going well so far. A fishing boat passed by a few days ago." Liz said with a smile.

   "I'm glad to hear that, please take a seat," Pomona said.

   "Thank you," Liz said.

  Pomona put a mug of butterbeer in front of Liz.

  No child can refuse butter beer, even though Liz is an adult, she still drinks butter beer.

   "Winter is coming soon, how about spending the winter at school?" Pomona asked, "I happen to have a job that needs you."

   "What is it?" Liz asked.

   "Help me continue to monitor Barnaby and Ben Cooper."

   "Has Paul left yet?" Liz asked worriedly.

   "That's why I need you to continue to observe them." Pomona said, "Don't use dogs this time, lest he get suspicious."

"But…"

   "If you have any questions, you can ask Wilmina, you and Barnaby are friends, right?" Pomona said.

   Liz nodded unwillingly.

  Pomona remembered Nietzsche's words.

   "We need your help, Liz, you can choose to help or not." Pomona said, "It depends on your own wishes."

   "Of course I'd like to help." Liz said immediately.

   "Don't be so eager to answer, I hope you can obey your own orders, not my request, even if you refuse in the end, don't feel guilty."

   Liz is confused.

"The seventh year is very special. It means the end of college life and the beginning of a new life. I hope you will not leave any regrets." Pomona said softly, "If you disagree, I can also find Wilmina. "

   "I would like to learn to share the 'spiritual vision' of other animals." Liz said, this time her tone was firmer.

   "You can go back and think about it, and tell me when you think about it." Pomona smiled and said, "The third rule of Hufflepuff."

   "Promises must be kept." Liz said.

   "You can go back," Pomona said, and Liz stood up and left her office.

   After she left, Pomona took out Nietzsche's book again.

   Hufflepuff's house rule number one is to keep a low profile.

  The first rule of Ravenclaw's house rules is to stay wise.

  Slytherin house rule number one is to be classy.

  Gryffindor House Rules number one is to keep fighting.

   A Slytherin once told her that she was not really humble, but because of patience.

  She was a little less willing to bear it.

  ————————————————————

  The Gaunt family was once prominent, but by the time of Voldemort, there was nothing left in the family, the ancestors had squandered, and they might think they were happy.

  Georgianna looked at the heavy snow outside the window. Even in Scotland, such snow is rare, but this is the weather in the early 19th century. It is impossible to grow sugar cane in Europe in this climate.

   In the past, she was also as many people thought, that the ancient Romans used lead to make water pipes and caused lead poisoning. It actually has a light sweetness that can sweeten wines, especially in musts and spiced wines.

  At that time, wine was still a kind of fruit juice containing alcohol, which was easily spoiled. In addition to lead, people would also add resin, whether it was powdered or thick liquid, it could be used for preservation. Although sea salt is also a preservative, wine mixed with seawater tastes extremely nasty.

   This is what she knew from reading the records in the seminary. The function of spices is to bring pleasure to people, and all spices are chemical substances. She had tasted spiced wine in Italy before, served warm, and the French preferred it for its own fruit, albeit sour.

  In order to neutralize this sour taste, the Romans would add honey, thyme, Syrian beans and the like to it. However, because honey was expensive, lead was used instead.

Until 1487, the innkeepers in Ulm were still adding lead to the wine. For this reason, the German emperor also issued a law prohibiting the addition of things to the wine. If there is any disobedience, all the wine will be poured into the river. .

  Originally, the Saint-Martin Canal was planned to be built with red wine tax, but now the money was funded by Lyon businessmen.

  This river is not only for water supply, but also for shipping. The key is that joint-stock companies are currently illegal in the UK and France, and the French central bank is the only joint-stock company that is franchised.

  If the Suez Canal is to be built in Napoleon's era, then Lyon and Marseilles must be the beneficiaries, and it is not necessarily necessary to pick up the remaining Austrian East India Company wreckage and continue to operate in Ostende.

   But this will definitely affect the interests of Britain in the Cape of Good Hope and West Africa. She also learned here that there is no height difference between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea like the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Panama Canal requires multi-stage locks to allow ships to turn over.

  Even if the Suez Canal is repaired, if there are pirates, even if there is a shortcut, merchant ships have to consider risks, and Yemen, which produces coffee beans, happens to be adjacent to the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea.

If you think about it from another angle, for example, from the perspective of William Pitt Jr., transporting Mexican silver coins to the West Indies is tantamount to making the shipping there prosperous, which means that there are pirates, and pirates need a navy. It is the mouth of the Mississippi River.

  William Pitt Jr. was a rather cruel man, but he was indeed a talented prime minister. At least he didn’t sell property, and reduced smuggling by lowering tea tariffs, flattening the deficit caused by the war.

   He'd be damned if he didn't dig a hole there, but that's not what she was thinking about.

  She shifted her gaze to the front, and behind the double doors was the meeting room. In fact, she felt that it was a bit inappropriate for her to attend the meeting dressed like this.

   "You look beautiful." Her guardian Edgeworth said with a smile, "They must be nervous."

   "They are not boys anymore, they get nervous when they see pretty girls." Georgiana said with a smile.

   "Want to gamble?" Edgeworth asked.

   She shakes her head "I don't like gambling."

   "Are you ready?" Edgeworth asked.

  She hesitated, then nodded.

   Then Edgeworth signaled to the guards, and the two opened the door.
