Chapter 1042 “Just War”

The skirt Pomona is wearing is very Slytherin style. The upper body is made of dark green velvet, and the lower body is a light gray green A-line gauze dress. The waist is decorated with some gorse flowers, which looks elegant and dreamy.

, it can be used as a formal dress, and it won’t look weird when worn in daily life.

Pomona believed that this dress was not chosen by Severus and that his taste was just that. This dress was probably chosen by Voldemort himself.

There is no doubt about the taste of the Dark Lord. Although he was born in an orphanage and did not grow up in a wealthy family, during his period of victory, the handsome devil could attract everyone's attention as soon as he appeared on the scene.

He suits a flamboyant style, although the clothes he wears are usually a simple black robe.

The ballroom built by Severus is very magnificent and has the momentum of the Palace of Versailles. However, it currently only has a shell and a few crystal chandeliers. There are no decorative sculptures or murals, and there is no marble paving on the floor.

It still seems too shabby to hold a grand dance.

The Gaunt family liked to put on a show and squandered their money for several generations. During that period, Europe was influenced by French culture and the Rococo style was everywhere. Countless balls were held in palaces and manors.

This trend has not only affected the Muggle elite, but even wizards have been affected. However, maintaining this luxurious life requires a large amount of income. The Muggle royal family and nobles rely on taxes, while the Gaunt family relies on the property left by their ancestors.

After these family properties were squandered, the Gaunt family began to decline. By Voldemort's generation, they didn't even have a decent house.

The direct consequence of the Baroque lifestyle started by King Louis XIV of France is that the entire society has formed an ideological concept that despises the poor and loves the rich. As long as farmers have a little money, they will let their children go to school or buy them a car.

The official position is far away from the life of farming.

People who have read books will try every means to isolate themselves from farmers. People have a strange aversion to getting rich through farming. All people with some ability are crowded into big cities, leaving only well-off families in rural areas.

They are small nobles who are unable to escape. They often live frugally and save money in normal times, and in winter go to the city to have fun with people of their own class. They lack sympathy towards tenant farmers, and they will not reduce or reduce land rents because of natural disasters.

Because their luxurious life has left them with a lot of debt.

The common people nicknamed these little nobles "le hobereau" (le hobereau). This smallest raptor makes a living by preying on small birds and large insects, which means that these little nobles will not let go of any meat.

.

Louis XIV could have recruited Prince Eugen and made him a general of France, but because of his prejudice against Prince Eugen's short stature, Prince Eugen became the commander-in-chief of Germany, which ultimately led to France's loss in the War of Spanish Succession.

Dominion of northern Italy.

There is an old proverb: if a nail is missing, a horseshoe is dropped, a war horse is broken, a war is lost, and a country is destroyed, when the king cannot collect taxes, he will buy and sell officials and titles to increase his income.

Even if Louis XIV allowed Prince Eugen to stay, and serve in a court filled with people buying offices instead of obtaining official positions based on their true abilities, Prince Eugen would probably be hidden like Napoleon.

Three feet of ice does not last in a day. Europeans will look for scapegoats every time they encounter a crisis. When the weather is good, farmers on the manors will not only cultivate the land, but also raise livestock and bees.

Bad weather will not only reduce food production, but also cause mass deaths of livestock. Humid weather increases the possibility of bees getting sick. Repeated plagues make devout Christians wonder why they are being punished by God.

People blamed lepers, the Jews who killed Jesus, and later witches were added to the list of suspicions and prejudices.

The same was true for Louis XVI and Queen Marie, who were guillotined by an angry crowd. They were prominent scapegoats, taking the blame for the corruption of the entire aristocratic class.

If the army is disconnected from the upper ruling class, then the army will be very terrifying to the country.

During the French Revolution, some soldiers also participated. Those officials who relied on women's nepotism and money to pave the way blocked the advancement of soldiers.

The British are smart enough to realize this. The upper-level officers of the army are almost all nobles and wealthy people. This is a very simple truth - if you want to protect your vested interests, you must work hard to maintain the status quo.

To maintain your privileges, you must shed blood.

Unfortunately, many aristocrats in the world did not realize this, so they eventually disappeared.

Pomona didn't know if the bureaucrats at the Ministry of Magic would realize this. She only knew that the Werewolf Act not only cut off werewolves' path to the upper class of society, but also deprived them of basic survival guarantees. These werewolves were like

The peasants had nothing and no place like a factory to resettle them. Coupled with the instigation of thoughtful people, this rebellion began.

The goblin riots are said to be cruel and bloody, and this time the werewolf riots are probably the same. Now the British Ministry of Magic should have no time to deal with foreign affairs, and Voldemort has begun to make a comeback under their noses.

Last time Voldemort was riding on the trend left by Grindelwald, but this time it was something else.

The ballroom was very tall, and the entrance was large enough for giants to stand in. She still remembered that there were giants who stood on Voldemort's side during the Battle of Hogwarts. There should be more giants on the European continent than in the UK.

While riding the train, Severus had said that there was a tribe of trolls near Liechtenstein, and a witch who was working for the rights of trolls, as well as "nightcallers" and wandering former Azkaban guard dementors.

, it is not impossible for Voldemort to cause another bloody storm.

People in the Middle Ages had little interest in pacifism. Knights were first of all a branch of the military, but not every "knight" was a noble. Knights who were not canonized were called "wild knights" and "wandering knights." A lord had to be willing to...

He can also canonize a peasant as a knight. But if there is no extremely reasonable explanation for this behavior, the lord will definitely be spurned by other lords and the loyal knights under him.

During the Renaissance and even after the development of firearms, knights slowly transformed into squires and aristocrats. These squires living in the countryside became the connection between farmers and aristocrats. What Jane Austen describes is the marriage of British squires and ladies.

love story.

Gentlemanliness has become a cultural element in Britain, but this gentleman is not a "gentleman in the city", but a country squire in the countryside, a figure like Elizabeth's father.

In the early 17th century, the two most important attributes of a squire were independence and leisure.

"Independence" means having enough income to support oneself and domestic servants, and also means having the freedom not to be controlled by others, such as lords, employers, etc.

"Leisure" means not being forced by livelihood, having the freedom to serve the government, and having a fair, wise and responsible mentality and character.

Grand squires, quasi-knights and above serve as justices of the peace, sheriffs, county governors, etc. to manage county affairs. "Gentlemen" like Elizabeth's father read books at home, worry about their daughter's marriage problems, and occasionally serve as jurors. Their obligations are to

To administer justice without oppressing the poor.

For the vast majority of werewolves who follow in the trouble, they only need a job, a place to live, and food to eat. Umbridge's Werewolf Act kills all of them at once. With no way out, even those who don't want to make trouble will start making trouble.

.

If we want to restore stability to the magical world, we must first stabilize these werewolves. Otherwise, there is only one way to kill them.

After the bloody suppression, some people will wake up and leave cities and villages to live in seclusion far away from the crowd. As for those who stubbornly resist, the suppression will continue until they are scared.

Who told those who had received education and were able to help werewolves to choose to abandon them?

Werewolves have been eliminated by the entire society and left to fend for themselves. Without a warm house and stable food, malnourished and harsh nature will take the place of the executioner.

Logically speaking, when the husband leaves home to go to work, the wife should kiss him goodbye, but Pomona is in the ballroom, accompanying another eliminated object, the Obscurial parasitized by the Obscurus, looking for techniques to use his power.

What the werewolves do is like those poor people who show their miserable experiences to the world in exchange for donations and attention. Unfortunately, they can't get any sympathy, but attract more hatred.

They have changed from victims to criminals, and dealing with them is legal and just.

It is said that Louis XIV has an amazing memory. When he enters the hall, he can tell who is present and who is absent at a glance. Therefore, every nobleman who hopes to be favored by the king must be present every day. Louis XIV made these nobles indulge in gaining the king's favor.

, had no time to manage local problems, and gradually they lost the power to rule the local area.

Voldemort's method of controlling his subordinates was similar to his. Each of the Death Eaters competed for merit and reward in front of him, but they were called "servants" of the Dark Lord.

There is no future in following this kind of people. If it weren't for the fact that they are grasshoppers on a rope, Pomona really doesn't want to meddle in his business.

If a man with liberal and "generous" habits is asked to exercise restraint, he will only give his wife four words: "Mind your own business."

It would be okay if she and Voldemort were married, and divorce would be the solution. The key is that he possessed her.

So, was she happy after receiving the beautiful new dress? She was very unhappy. Fortunately, no one asked her, otherwise she would have to teach him a lesson.

"How long are we going to practice?" Felix asked.

"You can stop when I say yes," she said like a stern governess.

To be precise, when Voldemort comes back, I don’t know where the crow went to fool around. Why didn’t it take shelter from such a heavy rain?
