Harry Potter’s Morning Light - Chapter 2857
Chapter 2857 Hagrid’s Holiday (7)
According to Marx’s record in Das Kapital, the “bad omen” actually appeared in 1850.
Although the United Kingdom is not the origin of cotton, wool can be produced locally. However, as the population continues to increase, the average age of British sheep is also shortening, and they are eaten as food, which leads to an increase in the price of wool raw materials.
Profits can only be calculated after the commodity is converted into currency, that is, sold. When the profit is lost, the wool machinery starts to stop working, and the linen textile industry also starts to lay off workers and stop using the machinery.
Flax is a crop that can be grown in Europe. Due to its low price, considerable profits could have been guaranteed, but flax in England was supplied from the Baltic Sea.
First, the population of the United Kingdom is urbanized, and there are fewer people engaged in farming flax. Second, due to the Crimean War, the supply of flax produced in Russia has decreased. The poor quality of crops in other kingdoms has caused the price of flax to soar, just like the wool industry. Just as sluggish.
Then came the outbreak of the American Civil War, and the supply of American cotton to the United Kingdom was interrupted, and Indian cotton was used instead. However, due to many reasons such as picking methods, Indian cotton had a high three-filament content, which seriously affected the quality of cotton, resulting in a decrease in mechanical speed. For piece-rate textile workers, wages have also been reduced due to reduced production.
In Manchester in 1848, 15% of the people were unemployed, and 70% of them were full-time workers. By 1862, 15% of people were unemployed, 35% were short-term workers, and only 49% of full-time workers were employed. rate is higher.
Even for those who work all the time, the wages are pitifully low. The workers began to engage in drainage, road construction, gravel, street paving, etc., in order to obtain assistance from the local government. At this time, the factory owner came forward and proposed the minimum wage. If the workers refused to accept it, they would be removed from the support list.
This is to prevent laborers from moving abroad. As long as they have no money, they cannot buy tickets to the New World.
At the same time, they also collect profits from the rent of the workers. Many workers rent houses that are the property of the factory owners.
Low wages, low quality cotton, and frequent strikes were not the root cause of the 1866 riots.
In 1866, there were four outbreaks of cholera in Britain. In 1858, John Snow discovered that cholera was directly related to unclean drinking water, but his work was not widely recognized. In 1866, the number of deaths from the cholera outbreak in the UK was relatively small, not comparable to that in Russia, but at this time people had awakened, and the polluted Thames River was the “reservoir of poison”.
In 1858, there was a great stench in London, which lasted for a month, and every pore of the people emitted a stench.
Flush toilets improve the quality of life of individuals, but throw the problem of sewage discharge to the whole city.
The blow of the plague made people gradually understand the specialness and importance of public undertakings, and also indirectly affected politics. The Great Plague of London had a certain impact on the later Glorious Revolution. But there will also be corruption problems. Cutting corners in row houses will lead to sound insulation problems at most. Problems with these municipal facilities will affect a lot.
No matter who is in power, can these problems be dealt with? Congressmen are speaking for suffrage. This kind of salon politics is too far from the “bottom”.
In the methodology of historical materialism, the class game is mentioned. From the time the person who made the high opinion uttered the word “bottom”, a layered consciousness has been formed. A layer is a part of a class, but the difference between the bottom layer and the upper layer is cloud and mud. Of course, mud is trampled.
In the cognition of some people in the magical society, Mudbloods should not resist. Their parents are Muggles. How dare they resist the ancient and noble pure-blood nobles?
But the background is a protective umbrella, which can only block the rain but not bullets. Fortunately, it often rains in Britain, so it is not surprising to go out with an umbrella. Hagrid’s broken wand is hidden in his flower umbrella.
He had a good father, but unfortunately he died too early. He couldn’t help when Hagrid was falsely accused of dropping out of school. Only Dumbledore helped him find a place by the Forbidden Forest.
Hagrid lived happily every day, unlike Tom Riddle, he covered up everything about himself, he didn’t recognize who he was, but instead made up the name Voldemort. This is also a way to protect yourself, because people have no way to find his past, use the time converter to go back to when he was still weak, and get rid of him.
Ben Cooper finally chose the Time-Turner, and he wore it around his neck, and followed Pomona back to Hogwarts.
This thing is very dangerous, even more dangerous than a room full of dark magic items in Barnaby’s house, but since Fudge had agreed, he had no choice but to ask Ben not to use it indiscriminately, and then let them come back.
Ben went to the Forbidden Forest, while Pomona returned to the castle. In the distance, she heard the bell of the clock tower again.
The clock tower and the clock tower courtyard were built after the 16th century, when pendulum-driven clocks were invented.
She listened to the bell, and ran towards it, like a bat listening to the sound.
When she walked through a bush, the lacewings suddenly flew up and surrounded her like stars.
Humanity has experienced the earth-centered theory and the heliocentric theory, and understands the history of this transformation, but few people know and believe that the heliocentric theory has also been overthrown.
There was a deaf and dumb American woman named Henrietta LeWitt who discovered at Harold Shapley that the sun was not the center of the universe and that Edwina Hubble and the Milky Way discovered in the 1920s Not all of the universe.
When studying the stars, she could at least temporarily forget the pain. She found Cepheid variable stars in the Magellanic Cloud Cluster and created a universe measuring ruler, confirming that the sun is not the center of the universe.
Ancient things are indeed worth seeking, but modern discoveries are just as great. It is precisely because the Blackwood family and Paul did not invent fluorescent flashes in their era that they escaped several dangers.
Although only 20 years have passed since the goblin rebellion, the “future” is the future. Paul does not have the ability to see the future.
The ghosts haunting the North London family were not raised from the house, but were summoned by the Ouija board. After so many years, their news has been covered up by new hot news, and few people remember them.
The house in Godric’s Hollow has been reduced to ruins, following the night when Avada Kedavra was rebounded, but the problem is that Kedavra will not destroy the house.
An “illusion” appeared in front of her eyes again. She saw something like a layer of glass. Behind the glass was a sculpture of a sleeping dragon, with torches flickering around, and a dark figure standing in front of it.
Portkeys can be anything ordinary, but when made into them, they always shine, like the golden phoenix on Theseus’ tie that brought the Scamander brothers back from their dangerous dungeons. Arrived at Hogwarts.
She touched a flying lacewing, the glass in front of her eyes disappeared, and she appeared in a dungeon surrounded by walls.
He looked back at her in surprise.
“What did you find?” Pomona asked nonchalantly.
“An egg full of emperor dragonflies,” Severus said. “It’s all over the school now.”
“How did the Emperor Dragonfly end up in the egg?” asked Pomona.
“Don’t ask me, didn’t you agree to go to the library?”
“I like this place better.” She leaned on his shoulder and looked at “Sleeping Dragon”.
“How did you open that egg?” she said lazily.
“It shattered when I touched it, I thought it was a decoration.”
“The next thing I’m looking for is that cabinet.” Pomona said softly.
“What cabinet?”
“Let’s look for it tomorrow. Have you eaten yet? I’m hungry.” She said lightly.
“Didn’t eat in London?” he asked.
“Fish and chips all over the street,” she complained as she left the dungeon with him.
At this time a dragonfly flew past them, it looked like a key.
