Chapter 2434 Complicated Situation
Chapter 2436 The reckless man’s plan (Part 2)
Charing Cross Street is a noisy and spacious place, where there are not only large carriage inns to see off tourists or wash their dust, but also stables and kennels for nobles, and of course the indispensable poor people who always gather at the quay.
Stations and street markets are everywhere.
The Leaky Cauldron seemed dirty and cramped in the 20th century, but it fit right into Charing Cross Street in the 18th century. Before the International Statute of Secrecy was implemented, Muggles could enter here, although most of them didn't know it.
This bar is run by a wizard.
After the implementation of the International Secrecy Act, although the bar was still allowed to continue operating, Muggles were not allowed to enter freely. At that time, Diagon Alley was not a dedicated wizarding commercial street, and the bar only protected a few shops next to it. Later,
More and more wizard shops have opened here, squeezing out the original butchers.
Some wizards would leave Diagon Alley after buying wizarding supplies, go to the Muggle market to buy some vegetables and meat, and then use Floo powder at the Leaky Cauldron to go back. Charing Cross Street was once prosperous and beautiful, but
Most of those buildings are now dilapidated and in a hopeless state. Every day at twelve o'clock at noon, two particularly large stalls will be set up here to sell "bow pow pie"
, this kind of pie is made of meat that is so seasoned that you can't taste what animal it once grew on. A thick crust is wrapped around the meat filling, and it is laid in a large, deep pan.
Here, this kind of pie costs 1.5p a piece, and diners usually eat it on the spot when they come.
The tyling dogs in the noble kennels would bark constantly at this time, and the cavalry guards would also appear at this time, so this unnamed pie was called "bark pie".
However, this street is close to Mayfair and Soho, which are the most glamorous neighborhoods in London, and are often visited by nobles and foreign guests. The Prince Regent asked a man named Nash to build a straight street for St. James
The wealthy people of Mayfair and Marylebone brought natural scenery where they could enjoy walking and drinking.
This "continental model" originated from the Sun King Louis XIV, but Louis XIV built Versailles on the outskirts of Paris and planned a grand palace in the east of Brussels, although neither the palace in the city center nor the grand palace in the east was built.
Louis XIV never lived there, but it was unheard of to carry out such a large project in a densely populated area.
Someone like Septimus Malfoy would not go into the streets that smelled like livestock, and he was not happy to have anything to do with it, but he still suggested that Spavin go find Georgiana.
Georgiana didn't understand either. What did the Prince Regent have to do with building in London? But Spavin felt that someone should take care of this matter. When the gorgeous high street was built, the existence of the shabby Leaky Cauldron would disappear.
It's very unexpected. What will happen to the Leaky Cauldron and the Diagon Alley behind it?
When Spavin finished what he was about to say, he used his wand to wake up Henry Petty who had fallen to the ground. Henry Petty looked a little confused when he stood up. Georgiana was worried that his brain had been damaged.
damage.
"Don't worry, I'm not one of those guys who doesn't know how to behave." Spavin said and left the lounge.
"Who is that?" Henry Petty asked dazedly.
"I don't know how to describe it to you," Georgiana said with a headache.
Just then the bell rang from downstairs, and the next scene was about to begin.
"I must go," Georgiana said to Henry Petty, then stood up and prepared to leave the lounge.
"Georgina." Just when her hand touched the doorknob, Henry Petty stopped her, "You can try this and let Napoleon gather the funds of those who he thinks should be rewarded.
Loans are provided to farmers through banks in Lyon.”
"Didn't you hear that Arthur Young was almost hanged?" she asked.
"That's the least of your worries." Henry Petty said coldly.
"What?"
"Wolves always want to eat meat. They will attack their owners when they are hungry. Why not let them learn to obey orders early and get meat to eat."
"Wolves don't have owners." Georgiana said indifferently, then opened the door and left the lounge.
The purpose of setting up the Corn Laws was to protect farmers from going bankrupt due to low grain prices. However, when the Corn Laws were cancelled, the prices of grains rose instead of falling. The main reason was that a large number of local British farmers felt that growing grains was not profitable, and a large number of
Abandoning farming and relying solely on imported grains, even if England's population is relatively small, cannot meet demand.
Then there is the limitation of transportation capacity. Even if the grains in the United States cannot be eaten at home, they cannot be shipped to Europe.
Shipbuilding requires wood, and England's wood has almost been cut down. In addition, there is corruption in the naval dockyards.
She knew that these people were not philanthropists, and that the Lyon weavers were also living a very bad life, but friendships developed when people interacted with others more. In the past, Georgiana thought that Saint-Méry had finished using Josephine, and when he entered the upper class,
The kind of person who clings to him because he thinks she is of no use anymore, it seems she is mistaken.
He and Josephine are both from Martinique. Not only are they friends, but they are also from the same hometown. More importantly, Josephine has the protection of marriage. Unlike Georgiana, others will evaluate the risks of following her and wait until Bonaparte does not love her.
She was killed, or if the situation was so bad that the two countries would start a war again, then everything would be in vain, so there were only a few people around her.
All her efforts feel in vain. Of course, she can also be selectively blind. As long as she can't see some things, her heart won't be bothered. She can enjoy everything that comes with her status as a mistress, but then she will be separated from her.
Those who are lost in this world are the same.
For some, seeing a stunning view from the window is a must, like drinking coffee in a luxury apartment amidst New York skyscrapers overlooking Central Park. The forest is beautiful from a distance, but as long as
That sense of beauty disappears as you walk into the forest, which is not just filled with joggers and happy families playing on the grass with their dogs.
This is the state of human happiness and happiness. We always envy others from a distance. The "not yet" is indeed more attractive than the "existing". Some people will pay any price for what they want.
The Napoleonic Empire was over, and Bonaparte was not as single-minded as the legend said. Why would she leave Severus for things she didn't need?
She could also pretend that she couldn't hear what others said about the well-known fact that "Love Saint" loved someone other than Lily.
If she had nothing, like a wanderer in the forest, when she looked up at the man overlooking the scenery from the window of the mansion, she...
"lady."
Georgiana looked at the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared. Even though he looked harmless, she still remained vigilant.
"Please don't treat the corpses of those assassins like that."
"What are you doing!" The Guardsmen noticed the abnormality and rushed over quickly. One of them even took off his hat.
"Show mercy." The middle-aged man was still shouting "Please have mercy" when he was taken away.
Georgiana looked downstairs. Although most people had left, there were still some people who had not left, and they were also looking at her.
After a while, they all turned their attention and walked towards the door. Their footsteps were so hurried, as if there were monsters chasing behind them.
