Harry Potter Morning Light.

Chapter 444 Silent Contest

The Victorian period was the heyday of the United Kingdom. During her reign, the British economy grew rapidly and continued to prosper. People of that era enjoyed the convenience of life brought about by technological progress. The sewage drainage system and the incandescent lights on the streets of London were built by Queen Victoria It is realized when the bit is in place.

Of course, everyone likes to make money, and no one wants to lose money. In ancient Rome, there was an eloquent debate on the issue of silk, and the silky fabric was elevated to a moral issue.

A mistress spends her man's money without restraint, and the Victorian courtesans are always more gorgeous and fashionable than their wives, following the fashion of Paris.

The wives know the income and expenditure of the family, and they will not dress themselves so unrestrainedly, not to mention that they have to observe etiquette and education, and live like a "decent person".

Generally speaking, mistresses will end up miserable. When they are young and beautiful, they will be in the arms of one man after another. When they are old, no one will marry her, and pensions will become a problem.

If unfortunately she contracted tuberculosis or other diseases, she would be abandoned directly, and those playboys would only associate with healthy women.

These men are often friends, and even if the woman they both know dies, at most they discuss their romantic anecdotes with her without shedding a single tear, and then continue to live their own lives.

Until one day, the same disease infected himself, and no one shed a tear for him except his parents. The so-called "friends" were even more nervous about whether they had the same disease. People in their circle were like this , full of decadence and indulgence, looks sluggish at a young age.

That kind of hollowed out appearance is very similar to the mental state of a werewolf after transformation. There are always some hopeless people and things in this world.

A large amount of silver collected from the Manchu Qing Dynasty achieved the glory of the Victorian era.Also in the Middle Ages, the Middle East took advantage of its geographical advantages in trade between the East and the West to make money at both ends, and finally created the glory of the Middle East.

Easterners are familiar with the Silk Road, and Westerners are familiar with the Silk Wars. Due to the blockade of silk textile technology in the East, Europe was unable to weave silk by itself. During the Chinese period, the secret of silk was obtained by two Indians, who dedicated the silkworm seeds to Justinian. The Eastern Roman Empire began to plant silk in Syria, and the price of silk dropped to twelve gold coins a pound.

There was a hostile relationship between the Eastern Romans and the Persians. If Eastern Roman merchants bought silk from Persian merchants, they would use their own money to support other people’s armies. Justinian’s ideal model was to change Persian merchants into Ethiopian merchants and open up a new trade routes, but things did not go as smoothly as Justinian thought.Because Persian merchants stopped supplying silk to the Eastern Roman Empire, the domestic handicraft workshops around silk could not start work due to lack of raw materials, and the silk economy was paralyzed. Instead, it caused public strikes. When internal and external troubles came, the Indians came and rescued Justinian. , So Voltaire called silk, gunpowder, papermaking, and printing the three technologies that saved Europe.

Only by getting rid of dependence can you be independent, otherwise you will never grow up. Voldemort has learned not to depend on others when he was in the orphanage. Hogwarts has a scholarship to buy school robes and wands for those students who have no money to go to school. Just spent the money in the right place, didn't go to Hogsmeade's Honeydukes to buy candy like everyone else, and didn't go to Zuko to buy joke materials, because he was usually thrifty so he wouldn't be penniless during the summer vacation , He can still find a place to live after leaving school.

Pomona also wants to wear beautiful new clothes, but she will not wear them except for Dumbledore's funeral and very important occasions. This habit has been formed for more than 30 years.

Peacock Malfoy and Dumbledore are two completely different people. The white wizard only makes the right choice, even if that choice makes him feel painful.

This group of black wizards would not be as self-denying as he was. They trampled and enslaved Muggles without feeling disturbed at all. In their eyes, Muggles were not only ants, but also worker ants, serving the comfortable life of wizards.

Oh, you thought it was over if you didn't buy clothes to wear?Not only owls will provide mail order services, but Muggles will also provide door-to-door delivery. The empty cloakroom is quickly filled with all kinds of clothes delivered, and Pomona has to go there in person if she wants to return the goods.

Oh, you think it's over if you don't like to dress up?Sometimes you don’t need to go to the salon to get your hair done. Those professional beauty and hairdressing technicians will come to provide services. Pomona’s hands were originally rough due to labor, but now they are white and tender again, and they have also done diamond manicures. , starting to shine from the tip of the nail.

Oh, you want to do chores?That's impossible. Although Robbie and Honey wanted to stay and work with the Malfoys and Draco, Kreacher was free. It didn't stay in the old house of the Blacks, but was sent here by Narcissa. In the apartment, it was very happy, because it could discuss with Pomona how to save Master Regulus, and it worked very hard without complaining at all.

Even she doesn't need to go out to buy groceries at all, Alfonso will deliver everything she needs to her door.

Severus turned a blind eye to everything that happened in this house. It takes a lot of silver to make a silver bullet that can kill werewolves. The silver bullets, these visiting people carry suitcases and hand over whole blocks of silver ingots directly to him.

Both silver and gold have been used as currency for a long time in history, but now silver is in an auxiliary position compared with gold, and the futures price is not as expensive as gold.For those rich people, this amount of money is not money at all, and because the night of the full moon is approaching, they rush to rush the goods, and are even willing to increase the price to rush to work. Pomona has seen it on a TV with her own eyes. The big man treated the ex-Death Eater with such reverence that he even kissed Severus' ring.

What kind of people are successful people in the eyes of ordinary people?
Endless money, a leisurely life, and a luxurious house.

Moreover, the money earned by Severus did not come from a wrong path at all, just like the Chinese blockade of silk technology, which earned huge profits for 1000 years, the technology of making wolfbane silver bullets was also blocked by wizards, Muggles do not have that technology, If you want to buy it, you can only pay a high price. This is the so-called knowledge is power.

After waking up early in the morning, after a day full of chaos, Pomona finally understood what Lucius Malfoy was planning.

These two Slytherins are teaching her to be bad, just like teaching little Buddy Crouch to be bad. She doesn't even need to do the work of a real maid, she just needs to wear a maid outfit and wait for the master to "love".

It is said in the world that even if the criminal wand is covered with Malfoy's fingerprints, you will never see Malfoy at the scene of the crime. The current situation is that the black hand behind the scenes, Lucius Malfoy, did not show up. Fleurs was still the same as usual, as if everything was normal and nothing special.

"Isn't Kreacher's cooking delicious? Why don't you eat?" Severus smirked, and it might have been real, because his face was full of complacency.

Pomona looked at the anxious Kreacher at the dining table, and also looked at her husband with a smirk.

"Everyone knows that the dishes made by Kreacher are the best." As if she had a grudge against that piece of steak, she slashed fiercely with the knife.

Hufflepuff girls had wars with Slytherin girls, and Pomona never thought that one day she would start a war with Slytherin men.

You started it, Lucius Malfoy!
While thinking with hatred, she chewed the beef in her mouth, it tasted like the meat of platinum nobles.
