Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2691 The Lamb and the Banner
In order to protect his horcrux, Voldemort used a lot of corpses and concealment spells, but it was still found, but someone else actually found the Slytherin locket.

Georgiana looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a gray dress with brilliant silver flowers, which looked somewhat similar to the one worn by Fleur Delacour at the Christmas party, but maybe it was Because her face was pale and lacking in color, she didn't look very human.

If the Gaunt family hadn't been so profligate in the early years and could leave a little for future generations, they wouldn't have Voldemort later.

It's really boring to talk about financial management, but the world runs its own way.

As Adam Smith wrote in The Wealth of Nations, the price of England's wool fell during the reign of Edward III, in addition to Edward III's series of trade bans, which prohibited the export of English wool to Flanders.Because the Duke of Flanders did not side with Edward III during the Hundred Years War between Britain and France. People at the time believed that the Mao profession was related to national security. The reign of the Dukes of Landers.

Edward III was so confident that he declared himself King of France in Ghent, but this fragile alliance collapsed around 1345. Before Flanders went bankrupt, England first defaulted on paying the Peruzzi family's arrears up.

Not long after that, the Black Death occurred. It first destroyed Italy, financial centers such as Florence and Genoa. People in the Decameron left Florence and took refuge in the countryside. In short, everyone stayed at home and did not go out. There are not so many The need for clothing.

In the 15th century, the Medici family bet on both sides of the War of the Roses. Unexpectedly, both sides broke the contract together, so the Medici family's semicolon in Bruges went bankrupt.

By the 16th century, Genoese bankers had joined the treasury of the Spanish Empire, at a time when the Duchy of Burgundy had been divided between France and the Holy Roman Empire.Although Spain has a steady stream of silver in the Americas, the 80-year war made Spain heavily indebted. The Netherlands was originally an important source of tax revenue for Spain, but in order to suppress independence, the Netherlands became Spain's debt.

Then the king of Spain played the bankruptcy game again. Since Philip II, the king of Spain has not been the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Philip II went bankrupt four times, and his successor went bankrupt five times. In order to resolve the crisis, Spain The royal family has repeatedly reached debt restructuring with the Genoese family.

In short, Italian bankers have learned one thing, to draw a clear line for sovereign loans and not to provide "financial services" to the European royal family.Dominique didn't care about Georgiana's proposal to use the patent tax to mortgage 2600 million francs. Back then, the Spanish royal family used the export rights of gold and silver bars as a guarantee.

The Genoese are just helping to collect money and transfer money. To a certain extent, they are right for the company, and they don’t need to take the same risks as before.The point is that they're dealing with smart people, and these businesses would never have thought of putting salt in butter if they wanted to borrow money.

The Fugger Bank used bribes to control the throne of the Holy Roman Empire. In the parliament of the Consulate, many members and celebrities are scholars and scientists. They have one or two patents in their hands, and they may not be able to realize them. But if there is a channel to monetize, then cooperation with the Genoese is indispensable.

Is it more worth remembering to wait for a person to become famous and then add icing on the cake, or to send charcoal in a timely manner when he is poor?

Many times people make a mistake, and Georgiana herself made a similar mistake.Grindelwald can see the future so what?It is also impossible to defeat the person who is deliberately trying to deceive him.

So she feels that even if there is magic, it is impossible to rule the world, although it sometimes seems to be omnipotent.

Seeing the scene of piles of corpses, it's hard for anyone not to feel compassion.However, when the Black Death came to Venice, they designed a "quarantine" method. As long as a ship with an epidemic was found, it would be tied with a yellow flag, and it would enter the port of Venice after the quarantine period expired, instead of Let them in when you see them pitiful, so that the epidemic can be effectively prevented.

Now that she looks back at her past self, she feels a little unrecognizable.Not all werewolves are like Remus, treating wolves "kindly" will turn into Mr. Dong Guo.

But that fat Pomona was happy, with a ruddy complexion and a more living person than she looked in the mirror.

"Put some rouge on, ma'am," said Bertin, dipping a little rouge and painting it on her lips.

Not only did this look not make her look good, but it looked like she had just drank blood.

Hathor said that she hadn't been a human for a long time, so she didn't know what it was like to be a human.

Now she also felt that way, she had been away from the world of the living for too long, and she almost forgot the feeling of her heart pounding.

She stretched out her hand to touch her heart, feeling the faint, faint vibration, as if she still felt that "herself" was still alive.

"lady?"

Georgiana let go of her hand.

"I'm cold."

"Let's add a cloak." Bertin said, and asked the maids to put a blue fox fur cloak on her.

The skin was filled with the smell of spices, and it became increasingly difficult for her to connect "herself" with the witch covered in mud.

"You really have the magic power to transform people." Georgiana said with a smile.

"I know." Bertin said with a smile, "but most of them feel very happy."

"You think I'm unhappy?" Georgiana asked.

Bertin didn't speak.

Georgiana smiled, a smirk she had practiced for years, and walked out of the lounge, dragging her long skirt.

Helena gave up her happiness as a woman to pursue something that would not make her happy at all, and Pomona would not be the same.

She just needs to be smart enough to break out of this cage, and after she leaves, she will still be that happy fool.

Why does she love Hogwarts so much?Maybe it’s because it’s located in the mountains. She doesn’t think the place is desolate at all, but thinks it’s beautiful. It takes 8 hours to get there by train from London. She fell in love with the castle from the first time she saw it. that place.

I wish her "prodigal son" came back, and "father" accepted her, and maybe "mother", although Minerva probably didn't want to be her mother.
