Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 3383 The Tide of the Earthly World (XVIII)
The English word "Hospice" originated in the Middle Ages. At that time, it referred to the place where pilgrims rested. It was also a shelter set up by the church to take care of the sick and the unattended. Later, it gradually became a "hospital" that provides care for terminally ill patients to relieve their pain.
Unlike the efficient hospitals that provide rehabilitation services, people who come to hospice hospitals are almost all incurable. It emphasizes the pursuit of spiritual level and how to calmly accept and face death.
Death is a part of life, although not everyone thinks so. Everyone has to face that day. For various reasons, many people cannot hold a decent funeral for themselves, especially those who sleep on the streets. Women and young children will be sent to the monastery, and some will never come out in their lifetime. Ms. Chanel's mother died when she was 11 years old. Her father gave her two sons to farmers and sent her three daughters to the monastery. It doesn't mean that sending them to the monastery must become a nun, but in the monastery, at least they have no worries about food and clothing, and there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Today's hospice care allows the beggars who are taken in to tidy up the green belts and weed, but earlier, when the plague was still raging, their duty was to dig pits. It is not always such an extreme situation. Usually they also dig pits for various funerals.
The Simplon Road could not be completed by engineers alone. With Saint Domingo in such a mess, there is no way to restore slavery. Rambo Tengji was born in a noble family that was not rich. He studied in a school run by the church, which usually accepted boys of lower status.
He believed that a person was pitiful not because he had nothing, but when he refused to work, he must be poor.
He set up a "Workers' Home" to help farmers who were sick and encountered bad harvests, and hired unemployed people who committed minor crimes. The Simplon Road was a public undertaking. He believed that "public works funding rather than direct donations can truly implement resettlement" and "every free handout is harmful to the country."
About 40 years ago, when Austria ruled Lombardy, it had legislated on food. At that time, the parliament debated. One faction was completely liberal. Rambo Tengji, as the other party in the debate, believed that grain exports and free trade would only be completely stopped when grain prices exceeded a certain threshold.
This idea lasted until the outbreak of the French Revolution. The French crossed the Alps and entered Italy. Milan had to bear 20 million francs in taxes at once.
Gabrio believed that this money should not be obtained from the poorest Milanese. There is a clause in the second question of Volume 14 of the Digest, saying that according to the Law of Rhodes, "in times of crisis, food should be especially public."
At that time, there was an Austrian prince who took this opportunity to buy a lot of food and sell it to the French. He was despised by the whole of Milan, and his caricatures could be seen everywhere in the streets.
According to the 70th canon under the second question of Case 12 of Part 2 of the Grievous Law, from the excerpt of Ambrose's On Duties: The church has gold, not for storage, but for spending, for those in need. What is the need to keep something that is of no benefit?
The Milan Cathedral is as rich as St. Peter's Basilica and the Pantheon, but Archbishop Visconti had sold the church's sacred vessels before to support the Austrians, so in the end the money was shared by three Lombard bankers.
The Milan Cathedral now does not have so many gold and silver decorations. The most gorgeous ones are the stained glass windows, followed by marble sculptures. Are some broken stones as valuable as gold and silver?
Oh, there is also an "iron nail", which is the one on the Lombard Iron Crown. If it is really made of iron, it should have corroded away in 2000, so its "existence" is the proof of being protected by holy blood, just like the blind Longinus regained his sight. Isn't the Lance of Longinus in the Vatican also made of iron?
Holy relics are usually hidden, but the "iron nail" is different. It is placed on the ceiling of the Milan Cathedral and is raised and lowered by an elevator designed by Leonardo da Vinci.
In 1717, the Antiquities Society in Rome discovered that the "iron nail" seemed to be silver. Silver will also rust, and after rusting, it will turn black and look no different from an iron nail.
But at that time, only a small amount of samples were taken, and both sides did not trust each other. They said that the silver was glued on when the crown was repaired in 1345 because the hinge was broken.
Lombardy didn't care what the Vatican thought, and didn't dare to care. There was a "Pastoral Association" in Turin. A Frenchman named Pierre Dubert had obtained wool machines from the British to achieve mechanized production. Before that, he also built a factory in Annecy, and the "workers" were also beggars.
In the shelter opened by Georgiana in Paris, there were also women who opened their own day care classes. Although they quarreled with their parents, they still wanted to be self-reliant, but they had no way to go home or leave the place that could provide them with protection.
At the same time, the punishment rules they made for parents' lateness also reminded Lambotengji that he had written "Crime and Punishment" when he was young. At that time, he was in a "Boxing Society", which was not a club that taught boxing, but a cultural institution of Lombard Enlightenment thought.
When he was young, he was engaged in the transformation of old prisons and organized the production of stockings in prisons. In order to stimulate production efficiency, he once imposed severe punishment on prisoners.
That didn't work. Not only did the prison become a "cave of evil", but his friends also broke up with him.
The fine is useless. Parents think that this is the contract fee they paid for being late, and no matter how much the fine is, it will not deter them.
However, when he went to Simplon for inspection this time, Rambo Tengji was mentally prepared to see a lazy scene.
"How is it over there?" Georgiana asked subconsciously.
Rambo Tengji looked at Georgiana and said, "Now let's talk about the archbishop's legacy. Even if the private property is donated by him, a part of it should be given to his secular family."
"Aren't you worried about the loss of the sugar factory?" Georgiana asked.
"I am more concerned about the character of the manager. Many charity halls are in trouble because of the dereliction of duty by the manager..."
In the Quaker ethics, God does not call for labor itself, but rational labor in fulfilling the mission.
It's just that there is no standard to measure whether the "mission" is beneficial and favored by God.
Pomona once planned to follow Jesse Livermore, the "Bear of Wall Street", and travel around Europe. In fact, when he ended his life with a gun, although he was bankrupt, he still had some savings according to the bankruptcy law, which was more than his parents' life savings.
At the peak of his life, he could drive to the streets of New York and as long as he told them who he was, girls would follow him.
He also had yachts, trams, and luxury apartments on the Upper West Side of New York. Who wouldn't envy such a life?
This was the best of times, this was the worst of times, people went straight to heaven, people fell straight to the other side.
Anyway, Bonaparte asked her to spend money, so she could donate some money to repair the chapel, after all, it was too ordinary compared to the Milan Cathedral.
As for the bell tower, don't build it, lest it collapse again and cause other troubles.
