Harry Potter Morning Light

Until the 16th century, Venice was the only diamond trading center in Europe. During the Italian Renaissance, the way people poisoned was also changing with each passing day. The spies of the Republic of Venice would put broken diamonds into wine glasses, and the victims would die of internal bleeding within a week. Do not know the method of poisoning.

With the trade between Venice and Bruges, Bruges gradually became the cutting center, but because of the problem of the papal alum, Antwerp replaced Bruges as the commercial capital, and Antwerp also became the diamond cutting and trading center.

This situation continued until Columbus discovered the New World, because European diamonds came mainly from Golconda in India, and the Indian and Asian plates in the Himalayas collided violently, resulting in diamond deposits. When the Portuguese brought diamonds from Brazil back to Europe, people didn't believe they were diamonds at first, so they had to mix Brazilian diamonds with Golconda diamonds until people started to really accept them outside of India. So far as diamonds are produced.

Because of the alum problem, the center of commerce was transferred from Bruges to Antwerp, but the ensuing Eighty Years' War left Antwerp sacked and the diamond merchants moved to Amsterdam. With the Thirty Years' War and William III of Orange, London finally became the center of the international gem trade.

The Bank of Peruzzi used to monopolize British wool sales in exchange for providing loans to the King of England during the Hundred Years War. However, as the king broke the contract, a large number of banks closed down, but their banks in Amsterdam survived. In the 17th century, they were also engaged in the diamond trade, and even Vincenzo Peruzzi invented the triple polyhedron carving process.

At this time, the engraving has approached fire color, rather than preserving the original size of the diamond as much as possible like the rose engraving method. When he was in Mechelen, the president of Peruzzi Bank signed a contract with Georgiana, and Napoleon entrusted her to be the manager of the assets in Belgium.

It was also this relationship that led many to think that Bank Peruzzi was the default stock sales agent for the Mechelen-Brussels Railway.

After the American Revolution, England also faced a war deficit just like France. William Pitt Jr., who had just come to power, thought of many ways to increase fiscal revenue, including collecting a "brick tax", which means that every brick in the construction of a house has to be taxed. People thought of a way to make the bricks bigger, so that they could pay less taxes.

Of course, the government also took corresponding measures to deal with it later. This did not bring a good official voice to William Pitt Jr., but made the public ridicule until he reformed the tea trade.

There are a key figure in this reform, Francis Baring and Richard Channing, among whom Francis Baring is not only the director of the East India Company, but also the president of Barings Bank.

After the reform, British tea sales doubled, handling fees tripled, smuggling basically disappeared, and registered tax-paying tea merchants increased by 60%. people questioned.

Due to the containment of Prussia during the Seven Years War, Louis XV was defeated in North America and ceded almost all the colonies. In addition to these losses, there was a serious deficit, which led the king to intend to carry out reforms.

At this time, there was a key department - the Paris High Court. In the feudal era, the king's power was once limited to Paris, and he had no actual control over the provinces. But by the time of Louis XV, the scope of control of the Paris High Court had already surpassed the Greater Paris area.

Louis XV carried out the Maupe reform. In the past, the judges of the High Court were hereditary, and the king had no right to appoint them. Even the king's decree had to be registered with the judges before it could take effect. The French Revolution implemented the separation of powers, that is, the executive and legislative powers were separated from the high court. And Napoleon suppressed domestic bandits, and the judges appointed by the special court he organized were all interviewed by him one by one, which means that he obtained the right to appoint judges that Louis XV did not fully obtain, and Georgiana would not be a ballet dancer. Just make such a big fight.

After the necklace incident was exposed, everyone actually believed that Jeanna was guilty. It was nothing more than a question of how to sentence her and recover her illegal gains. Why let the king come forward to rule? Even the Queen's subsequent public appearances were booed.

At worst, the queen was scolded for abusing power, but France was still a centralized monarchy at that time. In fact, Frederick the Great did not follow procedural justice in handling the Arnold Mill case, but the public felt that justice was enough.

How should Georgiana "act" in someone else's script? Swallow it up and let Mademoiselle Campini continue to coquettish on such occasions, and use her grace and big eyes to have a new love affair?

She didn't know how to give others such an illusion, she clearly let Charlotte show her fists, how could anyone think she was joking?

The mother and daughter are actually hard-working people, and they are vulnerable groups just like those "witches" in the witch hunt movement. But it is precisely because of the bitterness of life that we must be more vigilant. If it was the ensign of artillery who met Mademoiselle Campini in Milan instead of the Italian conqueror, would there still be "this drama" to watch?

Theodora also had a daughter when she was a comedian. She knew that she could not give that child a bright future, so she sent her daughter back to the arms of the Lord before she knew the pain.

Most people think there is something wrong with such a woman, just like Chiara's nanny, she also killed Chiara's younger siblings for this reason.

Georgiana is holding a glass bottle at the moment, which is full of shiny diamond fragments. She really wants to try to see if it will really have the effect as in the legend after swallowing it.

Although there may be vomiting in this era, but vomiting can only spit out the contents of the stomach. She had no trouble getting it; she had plenty of it on her dress.

There was only one reason why she didn't do that, she didn't want to admit defeat yet, and the Portuguese Moon hadn't arrived yet, so she wanted to wait a little longer.

But there are many mistakes that cannot be made even once.

She wants to go home, but the home is gone, where should she go?

"Ma'am...shall we go back?" Figel asked outside the door.

"No, we're staying in a hotel today." Georgiana said from the door, looking at the bottle of powder.

No one answered the door.

With a long sigh of relief, she picked up the feather and began to write the letter.

She's done this kind of thing before leaving without saying goodbye, and she's not close to doing it again, but where would she go if she wanted to run?

Europe can't stay, and maybe North America... He told her that if the situation is not right, go to the magic school in Brazil, which is located in the tropical rainforest and specializes in plants and herbs.

If she wanted to go to South America, she would have to take a boat from Portugal or Spain. Perhaps, she should take this opportunity to meet friends there.

She put away the unfinished letter and left the lounge.
