Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1795 up your alley (4)

If the time converter is set back to the Middle Ages full of wars and plagues, the male master of the family died, and his property was inherited by his widow, what if she was cheated by a "little boyfriend"?

Some people like to marry widows because the widow inherits her husband's property, plus her own dowry, which adds up to a lot of money.

Therefore, instead of cheapening outsiders, it is better to cheapen your own brothers. In the 18th and 19th centuries, England was influenced by church law, and property inheritance was divided into movable property inheritance and real property inheritance. Chattels in the UK have always followed the principle of divided inheritance. The inheritance is divided into three parts: one part for the wife, one child, and one part for the church, and one third for the church is called "the deceased's share".

Real estate inheritance is land inheritance, and the primogeniture system is implemented. At that time, people's main property was real estate, and movable property generally only accounted for a small proportion of personal property. In addition, there was still a limited inheritance right in British society at that time. That is, for families without sons, their real property is inherited by male relatives.

On the contrary, the law of succession to the throne has no provisions in this regard. Both sons and daughters can inherit, but the priority of sons is prior to daughters.

Furthermore, it is not the king of England who will inherit the throne, but the parliament decides. This is how the royal family of Hanover came to England from Germany to inherit the throne.

If women are forced to marry in order to have a population, and the government issues laws to abolish women’s property rights and inheritance rights, then mankind will go back to the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance and the next two hundred years will be wasted.

The parliament controlled by businessmen and factory owners agrees to allow women to own wealth. It is not entirely for the so-called equality between men and women. The well-known order of consumers is women, children, old people, dogs, and men. In a country of mercantilism, Consumption is as important as production.

The asceticism implemented by the church hindered the development of commerce. After breaking through the shackles of the church, free trade began to prevail. However, the free market economic model could not solve all problems.

In the 20 years before the Great Depression, the United States could not see the decline at all, and various industries were developing rapidly, presenting a scene of prosperity.

However, one-third of the GNP is concentrated in the hands of the richest 5%, and 16 chaebols across the country control 53% of the GNP.

This is a phenomenon that will inevitably appear when the free market moves towards a certain stage. 87% of ordinary Americans own only 8% of the wealth, and 60% of the families are maintained at the level of food and clothing.

When people are short of money, men drink and women buy lipstick. At that time, it has nothing to do with the economic prosperity of the society. They simply can’t afford other more expensive and better things. They can only buy these for themselves. .

But in this way, no one will buy the things produced by the factory. Hoover believes that the free market can find its own way out. During Roosevelt’s New Deal period, minimum wages and maximum working hours were stipulated, and working hours and wages were exactly what factory owners were desperately trying to achieve. Squeeze and exploit workers.

Before Roosevelt's New Deal, in order to solve the problem of excess production capacity and insufficient consumption capacity without raising wages, loan consumption was proposed. The predators thought, wouldn't people have money to buy goods through loans? As a result, all kinds of credit consumption advertisements flooded the streets, which indeed became a shot in the arm to "solve the problem". Soon credit became a popular consumption method, and anything could be used for consumption.

The predators obtained funds to continue to expand production capacity. With the increase in production capacity, stock prices also rose steadily. Those who dreamed of getting rich overnight threw money into the stock market, and went to credit when they ran out of money.

However, if a family buys one thing in excess, they must cut down on food and clothing and repay the loan in the next period of time. As a result, the effect of the "heart booster" will soon disappear, and the consumption will be even lower. The scale of production has not been reduced.

According to the rules of the free market, when the supply exceeds the demand, the price should be lowered.

In fact, both industry and agriculture are destroying unsalable commodities to ensure the "balance" of market supply and demand. Anyway, they are not cutting prices.

In fact, there is another solution to the increase in food prices after the reduction of food production. Originally, 100% of the food can feed 100% of the people. If the production is reduced by 5%, then 5% of the population will starve to death to solve the problem of skyrocketing food prices.

But everyone has a desire to survive, and no one wants to be the 5% who starve to death.

In order to survive, people would pawn the beloved things they bought with their own loans and exchange them for money to buy necessities of life. There are many "violinists".

Unsalable products have caused financial risks, and the stock market has plummeted and looks like it is about to collapse. The predators on Wall Street put out 240 million to protect the market, hoping to turn the tide like JP Morgan did last time.

American-style individual heroism makes them think that they have superhuman abilities. If the money has been used to pay workers wages, it will not be so far. How can the crisis accumulated over the years be resolved overnight?

It would be nice if the wife could be sold like in the 18th century, and the debt could be reduced somewhat.

Some French aristocrats are also selling antique furniture to subsidize their households. They encountered the same situation as Merope, and sold them at a low price to middlemen, who then sold them at high prices at auctions.

The Victorian era, which is memorable for men, is actually not so missed by women. They prefer the Empire era, because there is Jane Austen, there is "Pride and Prejudice", and Darcy and Mr. Bingley.

But many of the men they met were prone to alcoholism and domestic violence. Fortunately, the factories were recruiting workers, and women could control their own wealth. Before they were desperate, who would want to marry such a man?

The money was not her father's inheritance, but she earned it herself in the textile workshop. In fact, some girls worked to earn dowry in the 18th century. They are very young and don't have that much thought. Although they are facing the same fate of being squeezed and exploited by male workers, and the price of female workers is even cheaper. The textile factories are full of female workers and child workers, but it is better to have a job than to have no job. In Protestant ethics, it is shameful to have nothing to do without a job. Didn’t a judge say, why does a boyfriend let his girlfriend eat and drink instead of going out to work?

The downfall of the church, although it gained a free market, also led to a decrease in population. Marriage and childbirth were previously the responsibility of the church. They were originally "shepherds." Of course, shepherds hope that there will be more lambs.

They will not listen to the persuasion of the church. Men have high wages, fierce competition, and many unemployed people. Fortunately, they can go out to fight and solve some social problems.

It was only after the First World War that more men died in battle, and the population recovered slowly. It was only during the Second World War that the Dunkirk battle took place, and people had to be withdrawn when all the supplies were gone.

But these are not the most serious problems.

Compared with other EU countries, France has a relatively high fertility rate and relatively good welfare. With the beginning of de-Christianization of commercialization, when commercial civilization and contemporary art are aggressively occupying the fields vacated by Christianity and Christianity-centered culture, other beliefs are also occupying this "market".

For example, the revived Druids, Satan, vampires, and the relatively small astral body belief.

Commercial society rationalizes competition, be it benign or vicious, while traditional religion aims at creating harmony.

The astral body was discovered by pharmacists. Those glass bottles are filled with the ashes of flowers and plants. Just put the bottle on a burning candle, the air in the bottle will rise due to heat, and you can see the ashes begin to float. Get up, and then see a black cloud, which will divide itself into several parts, the ashes of the rose will eventually form a rose, and the ashes of the clover will form the clover.

Parents point to a cloud in the sky and ask the child what does it look like? A dog is still a human face.

As long as the person looking at it looks like it, even if a star explodes, it looks like a rose is a rose, such as the Rosette Nebula in the constellation Unicorn.

Its petals are the nurseries where stars are born, and after stars come planets, and each of us is a child of a star born from dead cosmic dust.

For the understanding of a religion, different people have different understanding abilities and know differently. Those who came to the party didn’t know much, but the young man who operated the quantum collider in the Louvre definitely knew Much more than them.

You only need to imagine that if due to a certain operation error or a computer virus, the collider underground in the Louvre will change from a scientific research instrument to a nuclear bomb.

The Montsouris Reservoir next door, the "temple of water", is usually closed for safety reasons. The Montsouris Reservoir is still one of the five largest reservoirs in Paris. If someone poisons it, the French I don't like the habit of boiling water to drink. Once bacteria such as cholera are mixed in, even if it does not cause a large number of casualties as in 1830, it is still a safety accident and will have extremely bad effects.

At that time, people bought bottled purified water no longer to improve their lives. After hurricanes and floods, the bottled purified water on supermarket shelves would soon be sold out. This was based on the consideration of water safety. Contemporary people think The clean water that can be drunk as a matter of course may be a scarce resource in the future, and the waste water produced by industrial pollution is also undrinkable. Whether it is conspiracy theories or unfounded worries, the competition for water resources may become a war to replace oil. Anyway, the United States People came to rob, the French government and Danone refused to fight, the world's largest drinking water company was acquired, and after forming a monopoly, it has pricing power, and it is easier to rob someone else's company than to start from scratch.

If the "Pearl Project" is implemented, Alstom, the power company, will be acquired by General Motors of the United States. Only by saving electricity can the French not let their hard-earned money fall into the pockets of foreigners.

Only in this way, everyone will live a "candlelight dinner" life.

Who can imagine the Eiffel Tower and the Grand Palace without lighting effects.

When the once brightly lit city returned to darkness, it may not be because of natural disasters.

People turned off the lights and lit candles, and they could laugh happily under the candlelight.

This is an attitude of resistance, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly. It is cooler in the tunnel than on the ground, which saves a lot of air-conditioning costs, as long as you are not afraid of being next to dead bones.

In the wilderness of Liverpool, England, there used to be the Salter family who produced cotton fabrics by the river Eyre. They were very nice to the workers who worked for them, but they went bankrupt because of blind expansion.

A wrong decision will lead to a situation where everything is lost. Those predators who seem to use borrowing to solve the problem of overcapacity have actually exacerbated social problems, and even some original millionaires have been involved.

In 1914, the Ford company raised wages for workers, which led to the rapid development of the American automobile industry and indirectly stimulated the taxi business. Investing in taxis was originally a promising industry. The workers could not afford to eat during the Great Depression. How could there be What about taking a taxi with spare money?

Not long ago, a new Hollywood movie was released in theaters called "The Man of Iron Fist", which tells the story of a retired professional boxer returning to the ring.

If it were not forced by life, who would compete with young people after retirement?

This movie, which is being played in a cinema, is being played in a small underground cave in Paris at the moment. The applause of the audience and the real effect of punching to the flesh make the audience watching the movie excited.

There is no better place to watch this film than the Catacombs.

Death makes the muscles of those boxers on the silver screen disappear and rot, turning into dust, while resurrection makes the bones re-wrapped with muscles to become a shell, and come back to life, like a movie reversed.

Look at those fighters, that's power, that youthful power that old bodies crave.

Just imagining that old body regaining that power is indescribable.

Enjoy the moment, as if you were the one to lift the trophy amidst all the eyes, bells and applause.
