Harry Potter Morning Light

The smog in London in the 19th century was seasonal, starting from the end of autumn, especially in winter, and relieved in spring. It was not as thick and foggy as some records wrote.

Similarly, the fog at this time was not as suffocating as it was later, and the smoke exhaust from the factory at that time was not as serious as later. A fire that nearly destroyed London made it possible to plan anew. However, as the City and West End workers grew, the houses of the poor were demolished and they were forced to move into slums, or into areas that were about to become slums because of overcrowding.

As for some places in the suburbs, they originally wanted to attract rich people to live in, such as Notting Valley. Unfortunately, the real estate developers did not think of this high-end residential area because there are pig houses and brick factories nearby, and the rich are reluctant to go. . So this kind of construction investment failed, and the house was divided into rental housing and rented to the poor.

At the beginning of the 19th century, there were more than a dozen large slums in London, not including the famous Whitechapel area in the future. signs of decline. In Agatha Christie's novel, there is a book called "The Mystery of the Seven Clock", and there is a letter in a certain plot in the book, and the place of the seven clock is mentioned in the letter. It does exist, and it is also a famous slum in London.

At that time, people already equated prisons and slums. The poor who committed crimes lived in the prisons, and the poor who were about to commit crimes lived in the slums. There were even journalists who visited the slums and prisons and described them as if they were different worlds for middle-class readers. knowledge.

In 1800, there were 19 prisons in London. They were regarded as a scene of London by people outside the high walls. Although prisons are places for penniless people, as long as they are willing to pay in debtors’ prisons, basic facilities and Services are still available, and rich people live together in Fleet Street Gaol. In contrast, the poor section of the prison houses the saddest and most unfortunate people who have to beg for their own rations.

These people took turns standing behind the grille, shaking bowls and money boxes through the "grid" through which one hand could barely be stretched out, crying miserably, "Please do me a favor, poor debtors."

The British treat their own prisoners like this. How could they treat the French prisoners well? Unless Napoleon pays the prisoners, their lives will be improved.

But there is one thing, that is, the business of craftsmen and businessmen in the prison is no different from that outside the wall. Some skilled craftsmen in France would carve exquisite handicrafts from animal bones and sell them to the jailers. After the guards sold them, the captured craftsmen would have their own single room and furniture, as well as a stove and hot water.

Britain is a place that values ​​personal ability very much, and it worships people with outstanding ability, so Napoleon, the god of war who can fight, still has many admirers in Britain.

As for sympathy, it varies from person to person, so handsome William Pitt Jr. sees children in church orphanages as a "burden."

Of course, it costs money to raise children. They can go to work in factories to support themselves at the age of 7 or 8. It can indeed reduce the burden on parents and society. It is that when they grow up, they don’t know what they will look like. Maybe they are those who stand in prison. Those people behind the fence, shaking the money box.

Georgiana shook her head and looked at the map in her hand. Partu is located in Estonia on the east coast of the Baltic Sea. It was once occupied by Sweden and later incorporated into the Russian Empire. It was once a member of the Hanseatic League.

Since the occupation of Malta, Paul I withdrew from the anti-French alliance, and there is still a posture to form an anti-British alliance. She met the wife of the Russian minister in the Louvre that day. At that time, the anti-French alliance had not completely disintegrated, at least Britain was still resisting.

Killing Paul I is beneficial to Britain, as is Alexander I, who is also one of the suspects, but everyone has no evidence, just like someone rumored that he was not born to Queen Catherine and Peter III It seems that only Queen Catherine knew who his father was, at least before the advent of dna technology.

Regarding Queen Ekaterina, Georgiana’s deepest image is that she ordered the killing of all Turkish captives, turning the Black Sea into the Red Sea, and her countless lovers, as well as her superb scheming skills, she really did not expect The queen actually has this side. While resolving the beer competition dispute, she also took care of the orphans and widows.

She suddenly remembered the angry words of the fat wife of the Russian Minister, "That's because they are all idiots", and shook her head again.

She is still far from being a female politician. It is very likely that she will do bad things with good intentions, and failed reforms will also bring destruction.

She is still a housewife, concerned about children's problems. Tartu is located inland, at least not as close to the sea as Tallinn. The oldest town on the Baltic Sea and the oldest university in Northern Europe, the University of Tartu, is located there.

Leuven also has a university town, but she estimates that the people of Leuven will not be interested in this beer brewing rights mechanism, and Mechelen is a brand new city, so it should be much easier to implement, not to mention there is a railway going from there pass.

But she couldn't help looking at Ghent, where John of Gaunt was born, where Voldemort's mother's ancestors were born. Taking this opportunity, she may be able to understand the national conditions of Belgium. After all, like many French people, she knows nothing about the situation of her neighbors.

Her fingers lightly touched the south of Brussels, a small town called Waterloo, which was just a dot on the map, like many nameless small villages, her mood was extremely complicated.

Bonaparte didn't teach her just now, but instead told her a feasible coordination mechanism. The most obvious part of party struggle is to expose each other's old background, make the other party's reputation notorious, and then the other party steps down and takes power himself. The consequence of this is that everyone is busy arguing and forgets to do business. The time when Jack the Ripper was active coincided with the election period for the mayor of London.

There are too many other things to care about than the victims, such as serial killers and the new mayor's march.

The time of Jack the Ripper activities is about August to November, and the Friday before the second Saturday of November happens to be the mayor's inauguration day, which means that the last time Jack the Ripper committed a crime happened to be London on November 9, 1888. The day the mayor took office.

The parade happened to be held the next day, November 10, and the day before the double corpse case happened on September 30, 1888, happened to be St. Michael's Day, which was the day of the mayoral election.

"Why am I thinking about him?" Georgiana complained, trusting the sheriff's intuition that the murderer was the victim's son.

But it's also possible that a homicide will block the mayor's election so that he can be re-elected. Who was the mayor at the time?

Georgiana suddenly understood the gap between herself and the Muggles who were many years younger than her.

Good relations with Russia are undoubtedly beneficial, although the beer trade and widows and orphans are in a way trivial.

The Trafalgar naval battle was a turning point for many countries. Spain, which lost its command of the sea, also lost its relationship with the colonies, and then they became land-based competitors with France.

At the same time, if Britain loses the Trafalgar naval battle, it will also lose its command of the sea. It is worthwhile to pay Nelson for two hundred years of national luck.

It was because of this uncertainty that both navies moved out of the way when Josephine sent envoys, and they also expected her to bring peace.

It was possible that her analysis was correct, or that it was purely out of courtesy, but Georgiana felt that the chances of her stepping forward to get them out of the way were slim, although Britain did give up offshore fishing rights for France.

The two countries can jointly enforce the law, just like they catch Berber pirates together, let's talk about the issue of trial slowly.

So her intuition was not wrong, although she let the French wizard save the British battleship, even though this battleship may appear in the Trafalgar naval battle.

"So something went wrong!" she yelled, and then began to think again.

Like Sherlock Holmes, except she can't play the violin.
