Harry Potter Morning Light

When Louis XIV came to power, Queen Anne ruled England.

Generally speaking, willfulness, arrogance, abuse of power, etc. all come from the monarch, and the monarch makes people feel the weight of shackles. But at that time Queen Anne's court was the Duchess of Marlborough who made the shackles increasingly heavy, so Queen Anne turned her attention to Mrs. Marsham beside her. The Duchess was so jealous that she refused the gloves given to her by the Queen several times, and "intentionally" accidentally poured a glass of water on Mrs. Marsham in front of the Queen.

That's what happens when girls get together, whether they're for a man or a woman. Marie Antoinette was also very popular when she first arrived in Paris. People crowded the roofs, balconies and window openings.

At that time, King Louis XV prepared a fireworks show for her. Georgiana had been to the Tower of London before. At that time, beheading was the right of nobles, because it was faster than hanging. The guillotine was used to relieve pain. A guillotine was set up, and the fireworks display was set off there. Unfortunately, a strong light flashed suddenly during the setting off, and then the entire guillotine was set ablaze.

Soon the fire ignited the fireworks in the audience, and the joyful fireworks turned into deadly rockets. The accident, which killed 53 people and injured more than 300, was just one of many unfortunate signs of Marie Antoinette's marriage to France.

The old King Louis XV liked Marie Antoinette very much, not only because of her youthful beauty, but also because of her frankness and enthusiasm. The Austrian princess grew up in a different environment than the French court full of red tape. In Madame du Barry's words, she was like a country girl. She will forget her identity as a queen, and in the garden of the Petit Trianon Palace, she will take off her gorgeous rococo skirt, wear a white robe and a straw hat, and run with bare feet, sometimes she will poke her head out of the fence, Talk to the milkmaid.

In an unusually cold winter, when the snow fell heavily, Marie Antoinette remembered the joy of skiing in her hometown, so she found a sled in the stable. ringing bells.

There were other aristocrats hanging out with her, and the Parisians exclaimed that "this Austrian has brought the habits of Vienna to Paris."

So Marie Antoinette stopped the activity.

For a reminder from her maid, she would get up early in the morning to watch the sunrise, and in the night when the moon was in the sky, she would stay away from the shackles of the royal family and walk among the flowers without her entourage.

All in all, in the eyes of Farron, Marie Antoinette is a natural and straightforward girl. The rumors planted by Madame du Barry, who said that Marie Antoinette hated the French, was impolite because of evil and depravity, and exaggerated Marie Antoinette's luxury.

The famous necklace was originally given to Madame Dubarry by Louis XV. Unfortunately, Louis XV died, and Louis XVI would not pay the bill for the former king's mistress, and then there was something later. In a Catholic court, luxury is the worst sin a woman should commit, but in terms of crimes, who can compare with Madame Dubarry?

Farron talked about Madame Dubarry in a tone full of disdain. In short, this Austrian princess, who had been carefree since she was a child, hated cumbersome etiquette. The king had the ritual of getting up, and the queen had the etiquette of going to bed. One winter night, Mary took off all her clothes. Dress, the female officer next to her should have been wearing gloves, and handed her the nightgown.

But at this time the Duchess of Orleans came in, so the person who handed the nightgown became the Duchess, but there was a process, from the highest maid to the lowest maid, and from the lowest maid to the Duke of Orleans Madame, and the Duchess handed it to Marie Antoinette.

Just when the nightgown was about to reach Mary, the Countess of Provence came in, which meant to do it all over again. At that time, Marie Antoinette was so cold that she hugged herself and shivered, and the Countess of Provence noticed her predicament Before she could take off her gloves, she quickly put the nightgown on her body.

Marie Antoinette sneezed, then couldn't help shouting "It's too much trouble, it's so boring!"

All in all, rank is everywhere in the court. A "real" palace banquet must first distinguish the ranks, and then give each rank the corresponding privileges. For example, when Mrs. Montespan held a banquet in the bathing suite, the lower ranks Nobles are not allowed to eat.

Yes, it was a banquet, but the low-ranking nobles were not allowed to eat, but they could go to the Turkish or Roman style toilets to wash hot water.

The boredom of the upper class is tiresome, and the repeated court life has become a burden. Versailles has realized Louis XIV's dream of grandeur and luxury. Everywhere is beautiful, comparable to the Garden of Eden, but Cleopatra Marie is not. not happy.

First of all, Madame Dubarry and the rumors she spread maliciously, and Louis XVI's indifference to her. Farron tried his best to fail to make the king interested in her. Louis XVI was very indifferent, and the most affectionate during the wedding The action is to reach out to Marie Antoinette.

Before the outbreak of the Great Revolution, Faron opened a workshop in Suresnes, outside Paris, and recruited a group of female workers in the local vineyards to plant and pick roses for him.

Drawing on the research results of physicist Denis Papin, he tried to use the power generated by steam expansion to invent a steam boiler, and tried to use this device in the distillation process to reduce costs and increase the output of distillates.

Georgiana asked what it was, and Farron explained it for a long time and drew a blueprint, so she understood that it was the original version of a pressure cooker, which was invented in 1679, but it was forgotten by Farron. Rong found it from the pile of old papers.

He installed six steam boilers, large industrial basins and red copper stills. Based on the chemical research of his contemporary Antoine François Falqueva, he understood that every smell is an aromatic substance in water. It is produced when it is dissolved in Li or some other liquid, and each substance has its own unique smell relative to its solubility. In the liquid of alcohol, others are easily absorbed in the liquid vegetable oil.

In this way, the academicians of the French Academy began to classify the fragrance materials for the first time in history. Not only the number of fragrance materials has increased, but more importantly, the deployment of a brand-new perfume can get rid of the restrictions of seasons and configure compound floral fragrances. .

Georgiana asked about the Versailles Ball, but Faron talked about fragrance and chemistry, and he couldn't stop talking more and more.

She understood, but her attention was on the pressure cooker. They were in XZ at the time, where the altitude was high and a pressure cooker was needed to cook the rice.

She recalled dog sledding, and the self who couldn't stop laughing and needed heartworm honey to stop laughing. Which one was the dream?

"What are you talking about?"

She looked at the man who was talking to her with a smile in a daze.

How would he react if she was so presumptuous and disrespectful?

"We're talking about the court ball in the past." Farron stood up and said.

Bonaparte looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

"I was thinking of a pressure cooker," she said dryly. "That thing saves fuel."

He didn't say she was abnormal this time.

Then he asked Farrong what is a pressure cooker.

The earliest name of the pressure cooker was "Papin pot". It was invented by a French doctor named Denis Papin. He found that the higher the boiling point of the water, the higher the pressure and high temperature in the pot would cook the food quickly. He used this pot to cook the ribs. Cooked like aspic.

"Can this thing be applied to a steam engine?" Bonaparte asked Faron immediately.

Georgiana imagined a steam engine with a pressure cooker on it, and suddenly laughed.

She didn't pay attention to what they said, and after a while Bonaparte sat across from her "Want to eat?"

She looked at him and suddenly wanted to give it a try.

"I want to eat fish."

"Let's go soon." He said in a good temper.

She pouted, too lazy to say any more.

"I'll have dinner with you tonight." He grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go."

This time she was not willful, she stood up obediently, and followed him away.

Now he is in a good mood, probably seeing the prosperity of Yifuto, but she didn't tell him what Perrier said before.

Some people say that the British Industrial Revolution, which affected the course of world history, was "kicked out" by a man before it started.

One day in 1764. There was a weaver James Hargreaves in Lancashire, England. When he came home that night, he opened the door and accidentally kicked over the spinning machine his wife was using. The spinning machine is righted. But when he bent down, he suddenly froze. It turned out that he saw that the spinning machine that had been kicked down was still spinning, but the spindles that had been horizontal had become upright. He suddenly thought: If several spindles are arranged vertically and driven by a spinning wheel, wouldn't it be possible to spin more yarn at once? Hargreaves was very excited and tried it right away. The next day he built a new spinning machine that used one spinning wheel to drive eight vertical spindles, and the efficiency was increased eight times at once. In 1764, he made a spinning machine named after his daughter Jeanne.

This kind of spinning machine is suitable for spinning cotton, wool and hemp fibers, but its appearance was very popular at first, but it caused panic among the large number of hand spinners at that time, and they rushed into Hargreave Smash the machine at his home.

"Go to hell with the evil machine you made!" Someone even set fire to Hargreaves' house, and the couple were driven out of the small town in Lancashire.

They are not Luddites, because Luddism had not yet emerged, but the transformation of the labor-intensive textile industry into machine production will inevitably bring about a large number of unemployment, and the scene of paper workers smashing machines during the Great Revolution may reappear.

How many times does a 15-year-old apprentice see the cloth produced by two machines as a skilled weaver?

It's too disappointing to ask this question at this time, it's rare that he is so happy, let's find another time to think about it.
