Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 875 Air Gondola
Just like the story of water lifting and pipe repairing, when the water lifting John was squandering money and enjoying the happy time in the tavern, another Pablo who was engaged in the same occupation as him was working hard. Take some of his time to haul water and the rest of his time and weekends to build his pipelines.
The reason why some people get rich is not because of opportunism, but because they have different vision and good living habits.
In the 1850s, opium and alcohol problems were common among lower-level workers. Mr. Salter and his wife, who first became rich in the textile industry, decided to guide those workers to get rid of these bad habits.
They built a town on the banks of the River Eyre, in the fields of Liverpool. Unlike the grungy downtown, many of the workers at the time lived in poorly ventilated row houses so close together that there was hardly any room for fire trucks to pass.
Mr. Salter had the workers live in separate houses, like Spider's End.
In addition, he also built parks, hospitals, schools, gymnasiums, billiard rooms, libraries, reading rooms, and even lecture halls. The way he affords the manual laborer such a luxurious opportunity to improve himself.
Many workers did indeed seize the opportunity. It was in Salter's factory that James Waddington went from an illiterate wool picker to a world-class linguistic authority and leader of the Irish Academy of Music.
Capitalism also had its own golden age. People can't just think about getting something for nothing, praying to God and worshiping Buddha, waiting for the great luck to come to them, and they have to seize opportunities by themselves.
To work in Salter's factory, you must break some bad habits, such as alcohol, which makes many people feel uncomfortable.
Some people can regard reading as entertainment, and some people can't. In order to solve the problem of workers' entertainment, Titus Salter Jr. built a playground, which is the earliest playground in the world. There is a project called " Gondola in the air", that may be the earliest roller coaster, its design was inspired by the mine, and the miners rode it into the mining area.
A large number of people came here admiringly, and the factory of the Salter family continued to expand because of this, and gradually became the largest cotton spinning factory in Europe. The entire Eyre Valley was the factory of the Salter family, and their family's wealth became more and more prosperous. Much, almost inexhaustible.
Like all rich people, the Salter family also spent a lot of money on the decoration of the family castle, and Milne Castle gradually became the most exquisite palace in northern England.
However, disaster also came quietly at this time. The Great Depression of the textile industry came so suddenly. Because of the rapid expansion in the early stage, the Salter family soon lost the property rights of the company, and they had to sell their houses and factories.
Later, some strange things happened. The owner of the castle was hit by a golf club and died of gangrene.
Another castle owner found his young bride "playing" with a business partner in her bedroom and shot them both.
There was also an accident in that amusement park. At the carnival in 1903, a gondola loaded with a boat full of tourists was about to "dive" as usual, but the cable slipped, and everyone lost control and was thrown out. , It is said that the appearance of death is very shocking.
Women are always keenly aware of things that cannot be perceived by human senses, seeing or hearing some "hallucinations".
Before getting on the boat, a girl suddenly screamed out of control. She said that she would not get on the boat. She, her fiancé and friends narrowly escaped the accident, but the strange thing is that these people finally got on the boat. All died in bizarre accidents.
The house was put up for sale in 1930 without a single buyer and was eventually used by the government to open a school.
The destruction of the environment by industry is obvious, not to mention that Prime Minister Chamberlain was an amateur ornithologist interested in botany and birds. Mussolini became a dictator in order to build the buildings he wanted. Who knows whether Chamberlain will promote plants and gardens? What's more, the castle had a ready-made greenhouse. Chinese medicine was very popular in the UK at that time. Just like the Padua Botanical Garden is now visited by many medical students, the greenhouse in Milne Castle is also visited by medical students.
The amusement park has been abandoned since the accident and is now overgrown with weeds.
The agricultural school has been open for 20 years and can’t continue. The UK still focuses on medicinal chemistry. Chemistry, mineralogy, botany, zoology and pharmacology in East Asia all originated from Taoism. Taoism is in line with nature, while Western civilization It is the conquest of nature.
There are also street trees in cities, but they often don’t grow big. If they grow too lush, they will affect the road surface. There are not many street trees in London. There are many avenues in Paris, but they are all built in a three-dimensional shape. French gardens are especially royal. Most of the gardens are symmetrical, because of the development of geometry at that time, people can use tools to draw very long straight lines.
The weather is hot, air conditioning is invented, food is not easy to preserve, refrigerators are invented, Freon makes a hole in the ozone layer, and the sun’s ultraviolet radiation on the earth’s surface increases, which has a destructive effect on the ecological environment and affects the normal survival of humans and other biological organisms.
In addition, it causes the aging of polymer materials used in buildings, paintings, and packaging, making them hard and brittle, shortening their service life. At this time, humans began to stop using Freon as a refrigerant.
The castle has been auctioned off several times after being left unused for 20 years, with each buyer promising to restore it to its former glory, the most recent Irish buyer being one of them, who paid an unbelievably low price for the castle, After a century, people have long forgotten the existence of this castle. The factory buildings of the Salter family were either demolished and moved to other places to make room for the construction of shopping centers and cultural centers, or they changed owners. Many people do not remember. Mr. and Mrs. Salter and his 11 children.
As for the newly built shopping mall, the architect spent a lot of effort trying to commemorate this family. He imitated the sculpture on St. The celebrity sculptures that go out are arranged on the roof.
The life-size sculptures of men, women and children that look like dozens of townspeople about to commit mass suicide are "amazingly beautiful", but at least he tried his best not to use the "mix-and-match style" like other heritage buildings.
The glass pyramid of the Louvre seems to be a pharaoh's power, just like those street trees built in a square shape, forcing others to accept that aesthetic feeling.
The same goes for British heritage buildings, which are completely indifferent to their surroundings. Merton College in Oxford is still very cute, but the proctor’s dormitory, which looks like a toaster, is so out of place with the surroundings. No matter how many sculptures are decorated on the roof, it looks like citizens who are ashamed to commit suicide.
The female boss steals the furniture and asks her to find a "suitable" buyer for the furniture.
Pomona and Severus were silent for a long time after listening to the truth told by the female boss under the influence of Veritaserum.
"I found a painting by Van Gogh when sorting out old furniture, do you want to see it?" said the female boss.
"Van Gogh was also from the late 19th century," Pomona said. "Maybe it's genuine."
"I don't remember him being famous when he was alive," Severus said.
"His fame was created after his death." Pomona said helplessly, "Even the dead are not spared."
People who are greedy for money are like this. They want to squeeze out the last remaining value of the other party, and make cattle bones into feed to feed grass-fed cattle. Van Gogh died in 1890, and his works were not too expensive by the end of World War II. The Japanese bought a pair of Van Gogh's sunflowers before World War II and it was blown up. After World War II, they bought another one at hundreds of times the price.
When he was alive, no one understood him, and finally he committed suicide with a gun. Now people are chasing after his works, as if they are watching how this poor man who should not have painted, died because of his obsession.
A poor ghost should think about how to live, instead of portraying the "culture" that rich people are qualified to play. Poor people are not worthy of dreams.
Van Gogh's abjection during his life and his great fame after his death are like a distorting mirror, reflecting a funny and deformed world.
Zodiac said that those who were killed by him would become his slaves after death, and the soul of Van Gogh who committed suicide could not be relieved, and his fame and works were continued to be used after death, and he became the slave of the "devil".
"Do you still remember the story of the three brothers?" Severus asked, "The eldest brother who held the Elder Wand had his throat cut in the inn, and the second brother who held the Resurrection Stone committed suicide. Death did not do it himself. Is it the same for the few people who survived the catastrophe and later died in strange accidents?"
"I don't know, I only know that good and evil are rewarded, and if you do too many wicked things, you will be punished." She said emotionally, she was out of anger.
"I remember it was Buddhist philosophy." Severus said in a low voice, "but the Salters don't seem to end well."
"They went bankrupt, but escaped the bizarre things that happened later." She said resentfully, and she began to doubt the authenticity of this sentence.
At this time, it began to rain again outside the window, and the raindrops made a crisp sound on the awning.
The trickles gathered and flowed down the street and along the gutters to the Grand Canal.
Venice is a romantic city of dreams. When people are immersed in her beauty and past, they often forget how easy it is to lose.
The so-called tragedy is to destroy a beautiful thing for everyone to see, and make people cry for it, but it can inspire people.
Albus Dumbledore said: Do not pity the dead, but pity the living who have no love in their hearts.
But it's too hard to pity them, Albus, because now she can't help but imagine, like the revolutionaries in the French Revolution, disembowelling capitalists and feudal nobles to see what color their hearts are.
This is a real story, but the castle has been demolished, and only the black and white tiles of the greenhouse have witnessed its existence.
