Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1953 Queen of Air & Darkness ([-])

After slipping away from the welcome party, they changed into civilian clothes.

On Halloween night, there are still many people who put on makeup and go out to play. Although they are not like the "little wizards" in the daytime, carrying a Jack-o-lantern and asking for candy everywhere, they still have to dress up as ghosts to participate in the dance.

They put on shoddy masks, and under the protection of Figer, Rapp, and four other guards, they walked through the old streets of the Middle Ages. Her original idea was to go to the old market square to participate party dancing.

However, they came to an old house. To be precise, it was the former residence of Corneille. This place was not far from the court, perhaps because Corneille had once served as a lawyer for the French navy stationed in Rouen.

He stayed in that position for 20 years. Because he was not obsessed with power, he spent his free time writing and creating. Unexpectedly, his amateur career made him remembered by the world and attracted the attention of Cardinal Richelieu. .

This place is currently being protected as a museum, but Bonaparte did not let the members of the Guard directly pick the lock, but went to the administrator to find the key.During the waiting period, they could only stand at the door, listening to the music coming from the square not far away.

"Why are you unhappy?"

He asked as if knowingly asked.

Georgiana looked at him coldly.

Corneille is good at writing tragedies, what does it mean that extreme joy begets sorrow?This is her current true portrayal.

"A king shouldn't like comedies, he doesn't need to have fun." Bonaparte said, "Good tragedies can make us grow, and the highest level of tragedy is the school of great men."

"Is this the place where you take girls out on dates?" she asked back.

He probably felt that he couldn't communicate with her, so he simply ignored her and paid homage to the former residence of his idol.

She stuck her tongue out at him, looking alone at the cloudy sky.

Britain was called the Railway Age for a period of time, because the railway developed rapidly during that period, so that the railway company replaced the canal company and became the leader of the British transportation industry.

If the steel products for export have to compete with foreign steel products and the price has to be lowered, then the domestic steel market will be monopolized. As a result, the domestic steel price is higher than that of foreign countries.

Strange isn't it?How is it cheaper to sell to outsiders than to sell to our own people? The domestic business is only left-handed and right-handed. There is no outflow of coins. Commercial development is inseparable from currency in circulation. Whether there is too much or too little currency will cause problems, while exporting steel is Those who make money and return to China must use the rules of "market economy" at this time.

Customers hope to buy high-quality and low-cost commodities, which is also one of the driving forces for manufacturers to reform and improve their technology and management.However, if the price is reduced to a certain level, it is not necessarily high quality and low price. For example, only a quarter of those "pure cotton" yarns are cotton. In order to ensure full profits, counterfeiting and adulteration are inevitable. Good products, but many people have the psychology of being greedy for cheap, and in the end they buy cheap products of inferior quality, and they are the ones who suffer the most.

Otherwise, the price is very cheap at the beginning, and the price will increase after a monopoly is formed, and you want to buy other brands only to find out that there are no more.

Sweden was once very powerful, and during the Thirty Years War, Gustav II ruled the north, but when the Campo Formio contract was signed, they were no longer the old Sweden, and they could no longer regard themselves as mediators , like the Spanish Armada of yore.

The occurrence of the South Sea Bubble is directly related to Spain not allowing England to trade in South America. Now it is the turn of the British Navy to blockade Spain and prevent them from trading with the colonies.

Napoleon established such a port in Antwerp, I am afraid that he also wanted to interfere with the trade in the Baltic Sea. If Britain only had trade in the Mediterranean Sea and the Adriatic Sea, then the Malta issue would have to be raised again.

Since William Pitt Jr. valued Trinidad, he felt that it was more economically valuable.Brazil also has rainforests and resources such as iron ore, but the Portuguese will not allow the British and merchant ships to land directly in Brazil.

The Methuen Treaty allowed Portuguese wine to have lower tariffs than French wine regardless of war or peace. Napoleon’s entry tax made wine merchants very dissatisfied. They felt that they were treated differently. Many of the smugglers were wine merchants, of course. The Bordeaux region did not welcome him as much as Rouen.

Set up Lisbon as a free port. Free ports can reduce unnecessary inspections, paperwork and other red tape, and can also enjoy preferential tariffs and taxes. However, Lisbon is the capital. Instead of setting up a free port in Porto, it is Lisbon...

The construction of a free port requires taxation and technical experts to design and plan. In other words, the nobles will suffer in this field, but the bourgeoisie is good at it.

The value of Portugal, which was originally dispensable, has changed. This is a good thing and a bad thing.Good things represent opportunities, while bad things can cause huge losses if you stand on the wrong side or use the wrong method. Some people love power because they like to play this kind of "cards and board games".

"This happiness shines like glass and is as fragile as glass," said Bonaparte suddenly.

She followed his gaze, and he seemed to be looking at the glass on the second floor of Corneille's former residence, but she felt that the glass window was quite strong.

"Rome will never be happy without a master," she said.

Bonaparte turned his eyes to her.

She smirked, "Georgina seems to have acted in "Xinar."

Now he smiled happily, showing his white teeth, "Did you watch that movie because of her?"

"I found that both Georgina and Miss Duchenoy have good figures, and they have sweet singing voices." She said coldly and coldly, "Compared with beauty, figure is more important to you, right?"

Rapp coughed, turned and walked aside.

"Come here." He smiled and waved to her.

"I won't go there, the glass is not solid, I'm afraid it will hit me."

He didn't accommodate her either, and the two just confronted each other until the administrator came with the key.

"Late...good evening." The administrator looked at the first governor in fear.

The "Master of Rome" showed his approachable side at this time. He asked the administrator to open the door for him, and apologized for disturbing the administrator's holiday and family reunion.

Georgiana tightened her cloak and stood behind Bonaparte, waiting for the administrator to open the door.

Since Bonaparte saw Shakespeare, she should also see Corneille in return.Cinna is the son of Pompey and loves Emily deeply. Emily is the daughter of Doranius. She wants to avenge her father's death. Stu's conspiracy, the well-known republicans at the time were implicated, and he went to report to Emily the progress of the conspiracy headed by him and Maxim.

He told her: Everything is in place, and when dawn comes, the dictator will be punished.

Her current feelings are so complicated that the rattling of the key and the sound of the lock opening are both pleasant to the ear, and it sounds like the shackles have been opened.

When the door of Corneille's house was opened, the administrator moved aside, and Bonaparte walked in first, but he didn't have the consciousness of putting women first.

Georgiana raised her wand, illuminated the dark room with fluorescent flashes, and walked in first, stepping over him.

The playwright’s residence is completely incomparable to the magnificent opera house. This three-story building has only one spiral staircase and the wooden floor is old. A poster for the Lesser Theater telling of famous people who have acted in Corneille's plays.

She pointed her wand at Bonaparte, and he looked at her so strangely that she couldn't tell what it was like.

"Security check." She pretended to be relaxed, and then began to look around.

There is a stove by the wall, a table in front of the stove, and a chair behind the table with its back facing the stove. I believe that if a fire is lit, the back will be very warm.

She adapted well to this simple home, and didn't think it was simple because she lived in the palace. The house she and Severus lived in before was worse than it, because it had been unoccupied for many years and had to be repaired, at least here It still maintains a habitable state, although it is a museum.

"What did you find out?" Bonaparte said with a teasing smile.

"Safe." She said briskly, "Are you going upstairs?"

He put his arms around her.

He didn't speak, and put his big head on her shoulder, and it took a long time before he let her go.

"Let's go and see what books Corneille has in his collection." He said easily.

"Light the candle." She ordered, and just about to use "Nox", she suddenly heard the sound of wings flapping outside the house.

Now she was very nervous about the sound. She walked in that direction and found that it was a row of bookcases, and the voice came from behind the bookcases.

She used a left and right separation, and the heavy bookcase moved away by itself, but she didn't see the window.

Or maybe it used to be a window, but the next-door neighbor's wall blocked it to form a closet.

This is inevitable in the city, but the country is spacious, and you don't have to worry about your neighbors blocking your windows. Corneille's father's house is in the country.

Bonaparte passed her and took down the books in the closet. At this time, Figel had already entered the room with a lit candle.

"Is it a forbidden book?" asked Georgiana.

He didn't answer.

Georgiana looked closer and saw that it was a painting, or rather an engraving, of the Virgin Mary standing on a pedestal with a baby in her arms and two saints by her side.

"What's this?" Georgiana asked.

"Madonna with a harpy pedestal," said Bonaparte. "I saw it in Florence."

She was stunned for a moment.

"I don't quite understand why the painting isn't called the Madonna and Child with St. John and Francis."

"Maybe it's because that painting has another name, Our Lady of Harpy." Georgiana said sternly, "Do you know what Harpy is? Leon."
