Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2024 Naughty Wind ([-])

There is a very striking place in the portrait of the Sun King Louis XIV. Because of his height, he needs to wear high heels, and the heels are painted red. It was the privilege of the French nobles to wear red heels until the Great Revolution. Therefore, except for the "no trousers" "Han" and "pied plat" are also titles representing humble origins.

Even without stockings and wearing high boots, some people still want to paint their heels red.Religion associates the idea of ​​equality with heaven so that the rich can be killed by the poor.But the government sentenced the criminals to death, but the priest pardoned them to go to heaven. The same behavior is put on one person, and the result is that one is guillotined and the other is forgiven.To paraphrase Bonaparte, these two powers operate in public opposites, and since these two powers can collide with each other, it is possible to foresee their conflicts, to trace them in advance without leaving them clear boundaries, and to clearly point out that they are What the secular world should do, cannot prevent the church from encroaching on the country.After all, religion wants to have it all.

The First Consulate neither wanted a dominant religion nor a new one.In other words, he supports the establishment of the Ministry of Magic to restrain the behavior of wizards and prevent them from spreading "superstition" everywhere.

It is also because of this that he forcibly closed the Society of Worship and Fraternity. Georgiana recalled what Grindelwald did in France before. No more mobs protesting for their own benefit.

She thought about how to prevent the "future" Grindelwald from exploiting such a loophole, but the result of her thinking was unsolvable, just like a Voldemort would be born in a Muggle orphanage one day.

If the church is allowed to regain its dominant position over the secular world, it will also be detrimental to wizards, although witch hunting like the Middle Ages is no longer possible.

Science is subverting people's cognition of the world at a speed beyond human imagination. Georgiana thought she was already "avant-garde", but the discovery of the Moonlight Society is amazing. Tom Wedgwood, who suffers from depression, has already Conducted a silver salt photosensitivity experiment, and wrote related papers for publication.

According to Stanley, many girls like this tall, personable and talented boy, and people nowadays like this kind of "British temperament" that is noble with a touch of melancholy.

But he himself wanted to laugh, and he learned from a friend that Davy had discovered nitrous oxide, a gas they say must come from heaven, that brings wonderful pleasures, and doesn't seem to be harmful .

But Erasmus Darwin thought it might, and over the next few years Tom and his friend, who was also suffering from depression, were treated with opiates and nitrous oxide, respectively, with the end result Darwin predicted Yes, that "gas of heaven" did lasting, irreversible harm to Tom's friends, and indirectly to the Moonlight Society.

Curiosity is a common characteristic of Moonlight Society members. Driven by their curiosity, many of them conducted gas experiments, and finally they came to the conclusion that this kind of joy and benevolent emotion was created by the chemical reaction of the body, not by God.David is a shrewd careerist, he left the Moonlight Society as quickly as possible, and joined the newly established Royal Academy of London.

Napoleon was not very fond of Wordsworth, not only because Georgiana paid too much attention to him, but also because the poet Wordsworth had a sailor brother who became Tom Wedgwood after Davy was gone. "Explore new suppliers.Tom and Wordsworth had met in Paris, only that instead of "gases of heaven" his brother supplied them with vegetal, an Indian plant he claimed to be "nemenelope."

There are also descriptions of Nessence Grass in Homer's epic. However, Tom, who started to try "Neonsia Grass", lost weight sharply, and couldn't quit it at all. No fun at all.

He was also only in his thirties, but he didn't seem to live long, and there was nothing Erasmus Darwin could do about it.The problems faced by the new generation of Moonlight Club members are different from those of the older generation. They need to explore the unknown world alone. This is a problem that many geniuses will encounter.

Throughout the ages the church has seemed to act as a villain against progressive thinking, convincing those "heretics" that miracles performed by the bones of saints, ominous birds flying, fortune tellers, dream interpreters, witchcraft, vampires would be considered various by them. Stupidity, ignorance and gullibility always go hand in hand, misleading and enslaving mankind.

Georgiana is more sympathetic to Newton's approach of understanding God by understanding God's creation, whether it exists or not.

This is one of her directions, and it is also the common concept of her and Bonaparte.

Those things that make people happy are often not good, but it is also painful to be awake all the time like Albus. People will protect Hogwarts because they love Hogwarts. It can bring happiness to children. Brother Weasley blew it up when Umbridge ruled the school, until Dumbledore returned to the school as headmaster.

They're not just bombing the education bill hanging on the wall, they want to shake off the shackles imposed on them.

The old aristocrats may not be used to what is called "concession to the people's emotions". Before Madame Du Barry ordered her slaves to leave the National Committee, she was used to this way of life that ignored the emotions of slaves.

In the era of the Directorate Government, it was true that taxes were not imposed according to public opinion. The excessive extortion, misery, plunder, and poverty of the old system caused deep-rooted anger. Any government that taxed out of sympathy or at least prudence would bring a strong backlash .

So the Directory borrowed money from bankers to survive, which also led to another problem. The bankers controlled the government. Napoleon was not invincible no matter how he could win the war, not to mention that the Directory wanted to take advantage of him in Egypt. Establish your prestige by winning battles.

Napoleon did not follow the formula of blind democracy. If he did not sell Louisiana to increase the revenue of the treasury, he had to increase revenue from other sources. As for orphanages and the establishment of management committees by the Protestants, she could not interfere.

William Pitt Jr. was dismissed for meddling in Irish Catholic affairs. Although the British residents in France lived in barracks outside the city and were restricted to a certain degree of freedom, they had a much better life than those French prisoners of war in British prisons. The British prisoners also felt that France treated the prisoners more humanely.

Women really can't get involved in this kind of thing. Originally, learning and exploring are also a kind of fun. She can usually play more with the children.

There is a slogan on the wall of the Birmingham Library - There are no philosophers, only the eternal church and kings.

However, in April 1791, it was no longer popular to wear boots with buckles at that time, and they changed to lace-up boots. The trade in Birmingham was affected to a certain extent. Rising parish tax rates and paying for the police bill, all the squabbling mixed together and culminated in a "Presbyterian plot" to wrest control of Birmingham.

As midsummer approached, events in France stoked panic among conservatives. Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette escaped from the Tuileries, were later captured, and commemorated the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille. On that day there would be a dinner in Birmingham in honor of the "Friends of Liberty", which would be announced in the Gazette, immediately after which the names of all invitees would be printed in halfpenny pamphlets.

But actually got a copy of the pamphlet proclaiming "celebration of the liberty of the Gauls" and denouncing the corruption of Parliament, the hypocrisy of Pitt, the extravagance of the royal family, "the peace of slavery is more wary of tyrants than the war of liberty", dinner It was postponed for a while, but the landlord of the Royal Hotel kept persuading the banquet to continue.

Later, these people got drunk, and the banquet broke up at five o'clock, but the guests did not leave, and the anti-Jacobin faction was holding a meeting, and the drunks threw mud and stones at them indiscriminately.

About three hours later a larger and more determined mob arrived at the Royal Hotel, long after the dinner party, and in their rage they smashed all the windows and turned straight towards Priestley's new clubhouse in the bright moonlight.

At that time, British gentlemen advocated "retro" sports. Many people participated in archery clubs, even some ladies. When the riot happened, the Birmingham authorities didn't care, because most of the gentlemen were holding archery competitions in Staffordshire. When they went back, "Eternal Church and King" was written on all the doors and windows in Birmingham.

The mob has a list of hits, and while the list is constantly being revised and added to, there are seven heretics, wealthy makers of the Moonlight Society and their friends.

Bolton installed cannons at the gates of Soho and appealed to his workers not to join the "court of the mob", and he did not care that his home had been smashed and burned.

This riot caused the Moonlight Society to suffer fatal injuries, not only the loss of property, but also everything they believed in - "reason", "science", "freedom", "experimentation", a joint attack on science and revolution, this It marked that the British people no longer trusted intellectuals, Dr. Pritchley was expelled, and the Moonlight Society was almost destroyed.

The gentlemen summoned volunteer cavalry to call it their homeland, and the king sent dragoons to suppress it. Someone stuck a dagger on the table of the parliament, saying that it was the weapon used in the riot.

Since 1787, Boulton has been using his stamping machines to create "Wilkinson coins", which are similar to pennies, except that the face on the coin is replaced by Wilkinson's head and a woman on the reverse .

Although the representatives were not marketable and were merely a decorative work of art, Bolton made 5 tons.Because it weighed only half as much as a Williams coin, merchants were only willing to treat these silver coins as half pennies.

Someone started it, other entrepreneurs followed suit, and soon the privately minted coin dethroned sovereign currencies and was even circulating as far away as London.

The chips in the casino also have a similar function. Although it needs to be exchanged by sovereign currency, you can buy things in nearby stores with the casino chips, but the casino has to be careful of fake chips.

Nine out of ten speculators are addicted to gambling. They win quickly and lose quickly, and the women's dowry is also used by them to pay off their gambling debts.The new French Civil Code stipulates that the dowry of the woman cannot be given to her husband to pay off her debts, so that even if her husband goes bankrupt, she and her children can still maintain their lives.

This is a law suitable for a stable society, but it is difficult to implement.

Bork Bokin will not pawn more Galleons to Merope just because she looks pitiful, Harry has so many Galleons in his vault, they are essentially put in a jar with someone, dig a hole There is no difference in gold coins, which is why Muggles always run out of currency when using coins.

A person who has nothing should feel very lucky to suddenly find out that his father left such a large amount of wealth. Who would not dream of having rich parents who have been separated for many years?

Georgiana would not be so stupid that Napoleon collected taxes only for good deeds. Both the army and the gendarmerie needed to be paid. He gave those generals an annuity of one million francs a year.

It is said that in the midsummer of 1783, the year Anne died, a bolide streaked across the night sky, and Boulton observed it.

That year Birmingham launched the "balloon postman" experiment. They have extracted hydrogen lighter than air from iron and water. Darwin originally planned that it would fall in Soho Gardens, but the "naughty wind" pushed it to Soho Gardens. The House of the Councilor of Stafford.

This is actually very simple, it is the electrolysis reaction of water, and water will not react directly with iron.

The French Academy was also conducting flight experiments at the time, which was a cutting-edge technology. In order to carry out manned experiments, the French Academy tied four or five prisoners to balloons and planned to let them fly across the strait.

The principle of this kind of hydrogen balloon is different from that of a hot air balloon. Georgiana did not mention it, but she planned to bring the Swiss inventor Ami Algond back to France. Broke, and living in poverty himself.

He took part in the balloon pilot experiment, despite the fog and rain that day, and he left Birmingham because of the riot.

The so-called broker is like this. He has a lot of resources and urgently needs a buyer. The machine he sells may be worthless or even bring disasters, but it may also bring unexpected uses.

Compared with gas, hydrogen is less polluting. If Argond can find a more scientific and cheap way to produce hydrogen, then there will be more street lights in Paris.

Jack the Ripper himself appeared on dark streets, and light would improve law and order, but some people hated street lights and would smash them on purpose.

Napoleon himself is not as profligate as Louis XV, and Georgiana is not as fond of luxury as Madame Pompidou, but if they die, I am afraid it will be a flood.

I'm afraid I can't wait for them to die. Who will take over after 10 years?
What are you thinking about so much, it's just a dream, she cried for so long yesterday, can't you make her happy for a day?
