Chapter 2425 royal circus (eight)

St. Patrick once said that he found the entrance to hell in Ireland.

If there was a famine in Ireland, England could collect less land rent such as butter and wheat, and so many people would not die. However, the landowners in England may not be able to afford it.

The financial crisis broke out in England in 1825. This time, there were no natural disasters or wars, and it was entirely caused by overcapacity. From this, a financial crisis broke out almost every ten years.

At that time, the "Bubble Act" had been abolished, financing was no longer so troublesome, and textile factories could be expanded indefinitely, but the market was gone, and a large number of banks went bankrupt. In 1837, the Free Banking Crisis broke out in the United States, and at the same time, the "Chart Movement" broke out in Britain. Even some landowners who did not squander their land rents on luxury and wealth suffered heavy losses.

In 1847, Congress amended the Poor Law. The original intention of this bill was to exempt some tenant farmers from rent and let landlords pay more land taxes. In the past, due to the war, the grain imported into England was limited, which also indirectly played the role of protective tariffs. After the abolition of the Corn Laws, the price of grain fell, but at this time, British farmers did not protest the Bread and Blood Movement like they did in 1802. Boycott foreign food imports and they can give up growing food.

This period was the golden age of British railway speculation. With money, you can buy low-priced food imported from foreign countries, earning more than a year of hard work, not to mention the discovery of gold mines in California in 1848. The gold rush made many Europeans Go to America. The final solution to the Irish famine was to send a large number of hungry people to the United States. In the early days, the Liverpool White Star Company operated the Australian route. During this period, Australia also discovered gold mines, so the trade between Australia and the United Kingdom grew rapidly. However, due to excessive Due to loan expansion and poor management, the White Star Company went bankrupt in 1868, and the new White Star Company turned the market to cruise ships of the Atlantic Ocean Line.

The Titanic is a cruise ship rather than a cruise ship. At the beginning of the movie, you can see that there are a lot of goods on board. If it is a cruise ship, there are only passengers’ luggage and some supplies. A lot of space in the cabin will be converted into a casino and a "shopping street" ,swimming pool.

After farmers have other options, they will no longer put all their eggs in one basket for food prices. When they see that growing food is not profitable, they will switch to other jobs. This has led to a reduction in Britain's own food production. After the abolition of the "Corn Law", food prices Instead of falling, it increased, and the gold reserves used to buy food at that time intensified the economic crisis.

In 1857, the railway crisis in the United States broke out. At that time, the railways built in the United States were the sum of the railways built in other countries, but the steel production in the United States did not grow explosively with the railways. This was mainly because the Americans bought German steel at that time. steel.

Although the Ruhr area has a lot of coal, it does not produce iron, but they have rivers passing by. When doing the re-export business, Rotterdam's steel industry also developed. At the same time, Prussia relied on the rise of the Ruhr and Silesia. the Franco-Prussian War.

At this time, the world has entered the second industrial revolution. France is rising rapidly, and Germany is rising even faster. In 1867, Britain reformed the law to restrict the use of child labor. It was not until the 1980s that compulsory education was introduced.

Georgiana remembers a "story" told by William Pitt Jr., a 9-year-old girl decided to jump into the river because she couldn't bear the heavy labor. Contagious like the plague.

This is the case in this era. When apprentices become adults, they are fired because their wages are higher than that of children. They have no other skills except the cotton textile industry. What is more important is that their health is damaged. In a factory, only 16% of people are "healthy", and public order in the city has become a serious problem.

Then there is Scotland Yard, if they are effective in changing the law and order, there will be no chaos in Whitechapel, and there is Jack the Ripper who took advantage of the mayor's election to campaign, and later the mayor who ran for the sheriff when his term came.

Britain also had Wilberforce, who campaigned against slavery, and even though everyone else left when he spoke in Parliament, he chose to stick to it.

And Martin of Animal Protection Law, who was also ridiculed.

And Edward Chinner, Georgiana's guardian, whose promotion of vaccinia was not smooth.

There is a poem that goes like this:

Difficult times make strong men,

A strong man makes a moment of ease,

The hour of ease makes the weak,

Weak people make hard times.

Although Georgiana didn't know what Wilberforce and William Pitt, Jr. were up to, it was hard for her to say no to a disabled cripple running about, and Roosevelt had polio, too.

Before "Happiness Comes Knocking", the protagonist used to sleep with his son in the toilet of the subway because he was late and didn't grab the bed in the poorhouse. He had to get through that night first before he would have the rest of his life.

Rebuilding from the ruins is impossible without hard work. If England makes Ireland strong again through heavy investment, there will be problems in the early 19th century. Around 1825, the protective regulations to delay the reduction of tariffs almost expired, and it happened that Britain encountered a financial crisis. As usual, England’s industrialists would dump their products into Ireland at this time, so that the only remaining textile industry in Ireland could not be preserved. .

Red wine represents the holy blood in the communion ceremony. There is a river of holy blood in Bruges. Can this "blood" bring any change to the entrance of hell?

Pomona went to Ireland in 1995, but at that time she only saw beautiful scenery, magnificent fairy tales and sweet love.

She had never thought about it before, but everything changed because of a mixed-race Veela from France.

Perhaps it was because of this that Albus did not give her the spell that should have belonged to the Earth Academy to protect the castle, but taught it to Minerva McGonagall, not because they belonged to the same academy.

While listening to music, Georgiana saw Lupe. Although he was a little worried, he didn't look anxious.

When the French were to cut down the trees on the second Brussels wall, he not only provoked Fouché, but also Berthier, the Minister of War. Berthier was born into a family of architects. His father, Jean-Baptiste Berthier, once designed the Ministry of War, the Ministry of the Navy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Palace of Versailles for Louis XV, and drew the royal hunting grounds for Louis XVI. topographic map of Paris, and the construction of several public buildings in Paris.

If a new gas lamp is to be installed, it must be installed in the most prosperous and beautiful place, preferably the city center. However, the center of Brussels has been razed to the ground by Louis XIV, and the square has been planned, and the former cloth and bread market has been pulled down to build a new palace.

The useless old city walls cannot be demolished, let alone a beautiful palace. Generally speaking, railway stations in Europe should be built with emphasis, but is the horse-drawn rail mine car necessary?

At this moment the music was over, and there was applause all around, and Georgiana clapped along.

During the applause, Padma almost took out the wand from the glove. Fortunately, there was no danger. Then they left the museum, boarded the carriage, and went to the next place.
