Chapter 2921 The Language of Butterflies (11)

 Chapter 2923 Silver Bow Archer

In Homer's epic story, it was Odysseus who contributed the Trojan Horse trick to the Greek army that had besieged Troy for 10 years and defeated Troy.

But in the story of another play "Philocte", the walls of Troy were built by Apollo and Poseidon, but the then King of Troy Laomedon refused to pay them, and then Poseidon

After releasing the sea monster, he handed over his daughter for the safety of his country. It happened that Hercules passed by at this time and he rescued the princess.

The Greek Philocte was originally a member of the Trojan expedition, but was abandoned on the island of Lemnos because his foot was bitten by a poisonous snake. There was an arrow on his body, which belonged to Hercules.

, it could have been used to capture the Trojan wall built by Poseidon.

But because he had suffered for nine years, he refused to hand over the arrow. At the same time, a plague began to break out in the Greek camp, and the Trojan Horse was their last resort.

When Hector died, the whole city was immersed in sorrow, including the beautiful Helen. When the whole Troy people shunned her, only Hector was friendly to her, but even though she burst into tears

Nothing can be changed.

People will cry when heroes die and toast when villains die.

When Hector died, the combined forces of Spartans and Greeks were celebrating outside the city. Achilles cut Hector's body from the tendons from the ankle to the heel, and let the head drag the ground behind, wearing the

The splendid armor, the whip driving the chariot, under the illumination of Sirius, and the dust flying in the sky are high-spirited.

She felt sad, especially when she thought that she had been a person who had been overly happy and needed to eat heartworm honey to calm down. This sadness was aggravated.

If pain can remind people to seek medical treatment in time and avoid things that may hurt us, which are also extremely harmful to the soul, what if there is no way to escape without being saved?

That mother is at least confirming that the world is happy before letting her child experience it once. If the world is unhappy, like Tom Riddle's mother, she thinks that the man will marry her if she has a child, and it will be like in the fairy tale.

, living together happily ever after will only create more misfortunes.

As a person engaged in species conservation, her job responsibility is to reproduce future generations, but even if humans become extinct, they will only follow in the footsteps of dinosaurs. New species will appear on the surface of the earth in hundreds of millions of years.

The earth has gone through many changes, and the "now" that humans can perceive is extremely limited. Dragonflies in the Jurassic were as big as eagles. Muggles also used the blood of mosquitoes in amber to replicate dinosaurs. Of course, this is in a movie.

In the plot, the oxygen content in the Jurassic was much higher than that of the current earth, and it was impossible for those giant beasts to breathe normally with such a low oxygen content.

Speaking of dragonflies, the students had a great time that year, and they found a lot of interesting things following them. This made Albus very happy, and he didn't even notice how bad Pomona had been that year.

.

There was a knock at the door, Margaret opened it, and then Bertin came in. A footman pushed a cart full of clothes.

"Madam." Bertin curtsied to her. "The clothes you are going to wear today are ready."

Pomona looked at the dazzling array of clothes and suddenly missed her own wardrobe full of yellow clothes.

In fact, people are more concerned about the style of clothes than the material of the clothes. The expensive luxury clothes in the 20th century were also made of blended fabrics. This can combine the advantages of multiple materials. If it is pure cotton, it is easy

If it becomes wrinkled, it needs ironing to smooth it out.

At this time, she remembered again the factory that was used to make bandages "a long time ago". It was originally set up by her as a joke. After the availability of pure cotton with better material, who would still wear linen clothes?

In order to save costs, factory owners in the 19th century even used child labor. But they could not beat the "new material" made from scraps and rags. Even if it wore out quickly, it was better than the price.

It's cheap, and people are willing to buy new clothes to wear. Even if a white shirt can be ironed, it will still turn yellow, mainly due to grease.

As mentioned in Capital, the high cost of raw materials naturally stimulates the reuse of waste. In this world, because Napoleon did not agree to sell Louisiana, Jefferson could not find an excuse to expand westward, and there was no wider land to open up for planting cotton, and

The demand for cotton has been soaring, and the price is rising every day. If it continues to rise, cotton will almost become the same price as silk.

You buy cotton because it is cheap and has good quality. If it loses its price advantage, then why buy it?

Blended fabrics can solve the problem of insufficient raw materials caused by the Louisiana Purchase. The primary purpose is to start factories. With income, you can buy food without borrowing money. Before the outbreak of the Revolution, due to the cancellation of protective tariffs, British goods were dumped in France, allowing

France's textile industry collapsed, workers lost their jobs, and prices soared.

Georgiana had previously negotiated with members of parliament in Brussels about the bonus for beet sugar production, which involved the Brussels Sugar Agreement. This was signed in 1864 between Britain, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Each party agreed to refund import duties and compensation.

The basis of the excise tax will be set on the standard product extracted from raw sugar as initially stipulated in the agreement, thereby canceling subsidies that exceed the tax refund amount.

With incentives, the European beet sugar industry will have a greater advantage than tropical cane sugar. Even if slavery is used in the tropics, isn't there an import tariff?

Generally speaking, the reward money will be extracted from the sugar consumption tax. Given France's current national conditions, it may not be that simple to increase the tax type.

Do you have to add sugar to your coffee? You can also drink black coffee without sugar.

Even if Adam Smith were to live again, if import restrictions can enable a certain domestic industry to develop and indeed have the strength to cope with foreign competition in the near future, such restrictions at least have a theoretical basis.

If an industry that has survived foreign competition for a long time is threatened by abnormal foreign competition, there is reason to protect it.

Dumping must be carried out when the country is not producing it. However, although French steel only accounts for 1% of the gross national product and there are some other problems, who can't see the importance of steel?

During the Chartist Movement, workers blocked the steel-making furnaces. It was Ben Cooper's great-great-grandfather Thomas Cooper who intervened to prevent the incident from escalating.

Achilles's mother heard the prophecy that her son would die, so she lifted him upside down and immersed him in the River Styx. He became invulnerable, but his ankle became a fatal weakness. Paris in Apollo

Under his guidance, he attacked that place with poisonous arrows. In the end, Achilles died as predicted.

If Achilles' mother let go, then little Achilles' whole body would be soaked in the water of the Styx, but in this case, she would have to watch her son being carried away by the Styx.

Perhaps it was because she was a woman after all and could not throw a baby off the walls of Troy like the victors of the Trojan War did.

This is something that the new lion king of the pride can do to the offspring left behind by the old lion king. The lioness can only watch.

In order to let the fleet set off, Agamemnon even wanted to sacrifice his own daughter. Artemis, the goddess of hunting, couldn't stand it and intervened. Even though the eldest daughter's life was safe, Agamemnon's wife still held a grudge against him and fought with him.

The lover conspired to murder him.

Artemis once made a wish to Zeus, hoping to be granted eternal virginity and a free life. She wanted to hunt like Apollo and wanted a long bow and sharp arrows like Apollo.

Zeus agreed to her request, so Artemis' image will always be that of a young girl.

"Okay?" Georgiana asked.

"You are the person I have ever seen who doesn't take grooming seriously." Bertin said angrily.

"I hired you to do this job." She said coldly, and then walked to the mirror.

She was wearing an ancient Greek robe, with a gold belt made of "Mogul diamonds" tied around her waist. She didn't look like a real person.

But this outfit is suitable for the warm Mediterranean, but not suitable for the cold North Sea.

"You want to freeze me to death?" Georgiana said to Bertin.

"I think you can bear the coldness," Bertin said.

"Give me a coat quickly."

So Bertin found another blue fox fur shawl for her.

"You're a Scotsman," Bertin said before she could complain.

So she stopped talking, put on a shawl and a fan to make herself look extra "beautiful and cold".

After Margaret and Matilda finished holding their skirts, they left the suite together.
