Chapter 2034 Alliance Festival (3)

Some people may have this feeling that it is not difficult to make money when you have money, but it is really difficult to make money when you have no money.

This is not nonsense like listening to what you say. In the 20th century, who still remembers the glory of the textile industry? All the hot money went to the Internet and real estate. Even France switched to Michelin tires after World War I.

Even if women are not interested in cars, they should have seen the fat cartoon characters and Michelin restaurants. At that time, France had already focused on the fields of chemistry and medicine that it was good at.

However, human productivity has increased with the continuous upgrading of machinery and technology, but the population has declined. In other words, the predecessors have squandered the demographic dividend, and the people behind have to repay the debt, and promoting births is like collecting debts.

Repaying debt is long, painful and strenuous. Just get used to it. This is the life of the poor, except that the poor only owe money.

Why do people work so hard and not listen to advice?

If people's enthusiasm could be mobilized so easily, great men would not appear, and no one would tamper with history.

Zhuangzi has a philosophical saying, as long as the saints die, thieves will continue. When the Han Dynasty replaced the Qin Dynasty, they said that the Qin Dynasty had harsh punishments. When the Tang Dynasty replaced the Sui Dynasty, they said that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was debauched and immoral. Even the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a Kang

During the prosperous period of the Qian Dynasty, compare the eunuchs who harmed the country and the royal guards of the Ming Dynasty. William the Conqueror's slander of Edward the Martyr was also paving the way for his own rule, and always consolidated his "orthodox" position.

It's just that the Norman approach was more direct, saying that Edward was the illegitimate son of a nun, which was full of barbarian narrative style.

The emergence of saints is often related to changes in the world. Everyone has a scale in their heart. They will weigh it based on benevolence, righteousness, morality, etc. Of course, the big thief will not be like the little thief who steals the hook. For those new industries

For the cities, they knew that the people desperately wanted their voices to be heard in Parliament, but what the civilians didn't know was that the people who were most vocal about the factory laws were those who gave them jobs.

This logic is a bit convoluted. Not all rich people are bad. For example, there are some industrial leaders who support legislation, and they are already considered people who have come ashore. Robert Peel and John Bolton are examples. One of them has a big factory.

He has become a member of Parliament, and the other one is destined to appear on the future pound notes like Washington. What about those small and medium-sized enterprise entrepreneurs who have not landed?

Bolton has already monopolized the privilege of manufacturing steam engines. If the country introduces other laws to restrict the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, it will lead to big bosses like Robert Peel forming a monopoly. They will raise the price of cotton products and workers' wages will not rise.

It will also cause conflicts.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the vast majority of workers and peasant families spent about one-third to one-half of their total expenditure on food. This is what Georgiana knew after visiting. Many families simply could not afford olive oil and olive oil.

For butter, lard and rapeseed oil are mostly used. Their cooking method is still based on the medieval furnace cauldron. The soup is stewed in one pot. No matter what the ingredients are, they can be eaten after they are boiled. There must be a lot of garlic in it.

Spices and bread cannot be cooked at home, so you need to buy them outside.

Napoleon once thought of using pawnshops to provide loans. Republican congressmen also had the same idea, but in the end it was rejected by the bankers.

How can a home be without furniture? Even though furniture is the last thing people need in difficult times, human beings often have a kind of emotional sustenance for objects. Some people still have the crib that they slept in when they were children, but it suddenly disappeared.

Cause serious emotional harm.

The French are not lacking in emotion, and the royalists took advantage of this to make people sympathize with Louis XVI's misfortunes and intend to restore him.

He is a good man, but a bad king.

Some people can understand this line, but some people can't. What's wrong with Louis XVI? It's obviously the extravagant Austrian woman Marie Antoinette who was wrong, who squandered the treasury.

Men's social circles are larger and better informed, while women's news is mainly spread in salons and living rooms, and men hope that women can be as elegant and innocent as they want, as solemn as a goddess and "know right from wrong." Basically

The news is filtered. At least most women don't know what Spain's complete loss of maritime supremacy meant to France after the Battle of Trafalgar.

Before the French navy grows up and has combat effectiveness, it will be beneficial to France if it can avoid a full-scale war with Britain. At least the communication line to the north can be repaired.

Another thing is that for Britain, the United States, which has not obtained Louisiana, does not pose a threat for the time being. As for the French navy... expecting them to defeat the British navy is better than expecting Napoleon to design a Zeppelin airship to surprise London. First

During World War I, wizards such as Henry Potter couldn't help but join the war just to deal with these aerial monsters.

This is where French wizards are better than British wizards. They do not strictly enforce the international law of secrecy, or they live with liars. Astrologers these days are too embarrassed to set up shop without the title of "professor"

, unless she plans to imitate a gypsy woman.

Fortune tellers and psychics will advertise together with quacks. Almost every community will have one or two shamans who can provide services such as exorcism, treatment, delivery, and massage. They are often very rich, with three or four names to their name.

They are known as "healing saints" and can protect farmers' livestock and farmers themselves from getting sick.

There is no cemetery in St. Edith's Church. It is just a small monastery. Funerals in Normandy are organized by brothers.

Some men are thinking about business matters before they die, or they are still jealous about their wives. It is difficult to predict how a person will behave when he is dying.

Likewise, you never know what fraternity members at a funeral might do, let the straw fall out of their wooden shoes, or let the corpse drop to the floor because they were drunk.

Such funerals are noisy and do not have the Catholic "rest" attitude toward death.

People outside didn’t know what the big shots were talking about inside. Anyway, people outside had nothing to talk about. She was cold and hungry because she hadn’t eaten. Later, Stanley asked for a bowl of hot chickpea soup from the dean.

Real monastery food only has a little salt and no oil, let alone meat.

Not to mention those princesses and noble women, Georgiana herself couldn't bear it, and it was not easy for Saint Edith to persist until her death.

Sometimes real history is stranger than fiction. She ran a church library, and she wouldn't let the books sit there unread.

It's just that she was still a little careless. She asked many poor scholars to translate for him, but someone seemed to have sneaked in. They quietly hid some "unsuitable" information, such as Udine Religion

Trial records of the court.

The "wizard" is also a therapist.

She felt that she was going through a "healing process", which meant that if she was kind and helped others, others would be kind to her in return, especially when she found that if she refused others' help, they would go to the Inquisition to sue her.

This is human nature, but is human nature really selfish?

She took a sip of the hot soup and sighed.

The heat formed mist in this cold late autumn, but it quickly dissipated.
