Because the OWLS and NEWT exams are approaching, there are many Ministry of Magic staff in the school. This is not surprising at first. It has been the same for many years, but this year's situation is a little special.

"Hogwarts should provide a way for students to speak out about problems in school management and protect their rights."

"Teachers should be banned from using confinement to make students work for free."

"We should establish a strong supervision measure for schools." A person who has been educated at Hogwarts said, "There should be a fair and just grading system, rather than allowing teachers to add and deduct points at will."

Pomona raised his head and glanced at Old Bat, who was eating at the other end of the faculty table. His face looked stiffer than usual.

Pomona shook his head and put the Daily Prophet aside. Although Letaquist was currently not in the UK, her article still appeared on the front page of the Daily Prophet. Although it was not the headline, that position was occupied by Fudge and Ludo.

Bagman was replaced by England's new Quidditch World Cup mascot, a shape-shifting rabbit, which defeated the raven and received more votes.

Before Albus became the headmaster, corporal punishment did exist in Hogwarts, but it has now been banned by the Education Order, including Filch's favorite caning. But if even the confinement was cancelled, Pomona would really

I don't know what will become of this school.

Even if not everyone has the trait of breaking the rules and causing trouble, there will still be times when they are confused. Huo Yan would not reach out to touch someone until he knew it was hot, and he would not listen if he relied on persuasion.

What's more, Albus doesn't want the students to be too obedient. If the mysterious person really comes back in the future, he will need the strength to resist.

At this time, the old bat finished his breakfast, left the table, and passed behind Pomona.

His face was extremely gloomy, and even when he was passing by Pomona, he could feel the magic pressure on him.

There is a type of people who live in the system. While they obey management, they use the system to gain more power. The Dark Lord and his followers will shake up the order and system they have worked hard to create and give these defenders

Bring panic.

Lucius Malfoy was equally good at this, but he didn't expect that his "little trick" didn't cause Gryffindor to fall into division and internal strife.

It's not that they lack wisdom, but they tend to act impulsively and appear reckless.

"Are you okay?" Felivi said. "I heard you sigh."

"It's okay." Pomona said calmly, looking at the students eating at the table. Percy was busy eating and didn't see him put the pet on the Gryffindor table.

"How are you preparing for Miss Aiken's training?" Felicity asked.

"I'm not sure." Pomona said with a smile, her eyes turning to Bill. If he agreed to participate in the potion competition, he wouldn't let a new student go to Scandinavia.

"We have to respect everyone's choice." Felicity also looked at Bill and said, "As a curse-breaker, Bill is very talented."

"Charlie is actually pretty good," Pomona said.

"Ha." Felivi laughed. "What an interesting suggestion."

Pomona wasn't telling a joke, but...

"I'm full, let's go first," Pomona said to Felivi, and then left the table.

==================================================

===========

Pomona dug out what Malfoy had hoped to teach in the History of Magic class.

The 16th century was the century of great geographical discovery, and it was also the time when the witch-hunting movement was most rampant, and it even spread to the "New World".

The Inca Empire still existed until 1533. The colonists who came to the New World quickly realized that they were far away from their motherland. The New World was vast, and with the sparse number of Spanish people, their ability to conquer

It was limited and could not carry out European-style occupation, so the early colonists believed that it was necessary to establish a system based on cooperation rather than conquest with the Inca Empire.

They brought practical and advanced agricultural technology, novel technologies and ways to defend themselves against enemies. When the natives learned that these newcomers did not seem to pose a threat, many tribes actively showed goodwill and entertained them warmly.

From that time on, the colonists' work depended entirely on the supply of local labor. They first established an agreement with the chiefs and established a "mandatory system" through which the Spanish could organize labor.

Many tribes were willing to cooperate with them because before the Spanish came they had to face tribute and exploitation from the Inca Empire, and this tribute was not just goods.

The Inca Empire at that time still maintained the system of human sacrifice, and usually used prisoners of war as sacrifices, and these prisoners of war were produced because of their resistance to the rule of the Inca Empire. Therefore, wherever they began to impose their rule, the Spanish were always the first to publicize the "entrusted guardianship"

system".

With the entrusted guardianship system, it would not be in their interests if too many Aboriginal people died, which meant that the labor force of the guardians would be reduced. However, these colonists quickly took advantage of their own immunity and became the original guardian of the Aboriginal people.

When a large number of people died due to diseases brought by the New World, the colonists claimed that they were descendants of Quetzalcoatl's return, and suddenly they were superior to the Inca Empire and the Aztecs.

The plague was not mentioned in the Ten Plagues of Egypt, but the blister plague was very similar to smallpox. Some missionaries also called all these "ten plagues". Soon the Incas understood that they could not gain the power of the kingdom without the support of the Spanish.

At that time, the Incas also had enemies, and using smallpox, they captured their opponent's capital.

What followed was a crazy looting of the Andean civilization. Before the discovery of silver mines, gold and silver were mainly handicrafts made by humans living in the Andes Mountains for more than 2,000 years. The Spanish melted these handicrafts and transported them back in the form of gold and silver bars.

Europe.

These gold and silver bars did not stay in the hands of the Spanish for long. They were quickly used to pay military expenses and handed over to foreign bankers. Although the War of Restoration came to an end in 1492, the Ottomans still tried to regain control of those lands.

, especially after Soleimani ascended the throne in 1520.

Before the discovery of the New World, it was the Pope who paid for military expenses, and at this time the Medici family was the "Pope's bankers."

After the discovery of the New World, this situation did not change immediately, but as the first batch of gold arrived in Europe, the center of the international financial network moved from Florence, Venice and other places to Castile.

Castile was originally a relatively self-sufficient wool trading area. The terrain of the Iberian Peninsula is mostly mountainous and is not suitable for the development of agriculture. The wool trade was once the pride of Castile and the mainstay of the local area.

industry.

Among the various components of the Kingdom of Spain at that time, the Castilians were the only ones who were good at doing business, but they were no match for the Italians and other foreign merchants who came upon the news. Soon Castilian trade, and even

The trade of the Spanish Empire fell into foreign hands.

Malfoy once mentioned that it was a great initiative for wizards to not be affected by the Muggle financial collapse in the 17th century as it was in the 13th century. He did not expect that he had missed it.

Due to the intervention of foreigners, Castile's wool exports increased from 14% to 69%. These raw materials provided raw materials for the industrial development of Italy and other surrounding areas, while Castile's original wool textile industry has

Therefore it was destroyed.

This was a law of the Kingdom of Spain. Precious metals could not be exported until 1566. This refers to the private sector. The king still used gold and silver to pay bills and military expenditures.

As a result, something called a bill of exchange was created.

For large transactions, even gold and silver are cumbersome to carry. It also created a credit craze. Originally, gold and silver could not "grow" like wool, but gold and silver bars shipped from the New World brought investors

Confidence came, so much so that cash was no longer the preferred method of payment in Castiana and money orders were seen everywhere.

These notes could be transferred quickly by postal mail, and customers could obtain credit immediately, with actual payment occurring after the gold bars arrived. At checkout, since Spain did not allow the export of gold and silver, they were forced to invest in Castiana.

The first is real estate, and the second is materials such as wool.

Money was constantly being created, supplies were being transported away, and inflation was impossible to contain. There was no central bank at the time, and because local industry could not provide so many jobs, the church priesthood was the choice of many people.

At first, the church was unwilling to set up an inquisition in New Spain because there were too few immigrants, and the original Indians did not have the problem of heresy. As more and more Protestants went to the New World, even though Spain banned foreigners at the time

People went to the New World, and the Inquisition was established in 1569.

At that time, the indigenous people of New Spain worshiped "huaca" (huaca), including mountains, rivers, stone beaches, temples, ancestors and other religious beliefs. It was part of the daily religious life of Andean civilization, that is, it refers to objects

, also refers to the soul in an object, and is often used to refer to stones.

At the beginning, the main work of the Inquisition was to deal with heretics who came to the New World. Around 1609, it began to conduct "heretic investigations." Compared with the death penalty for heretics, heretics did not have a strict procedural death penalty. Instead, they were whipped and imprisoned.

Aboriginal people suspected of pagan worship will be publicly whipped, worship objects burned, and religious leaders will be regarded as wizards and sorcerers.

But even so, it still has not effectively curbed the worship of "Waka". The indigenous people feel that the cross will never respond to them, but Waka will.

In the first few decades, the Spaniards did not carry out large-scale inland exploration. Their main goals were gold, silver and population. Later, they began to pursue myths and legends to find the Inca Golden City.

It is located deep in the mountains, deep in the jungle, and there are no guides to lead the way. This indirectly stimulates the development of mapping and surveying technology, and this is where Castiana lags behind.

By 1566, the ban on precious metal exports was lifted, and all foreign merchants withdrew from trade in the Iberian Peninsula and turned to the international currency market, leaving the Castilians facing a deserted market.

Some people declared bankruptcy directly, while others relied on purchasing land to preserve the value of their family assets. However, even if precious metal exports were later resumed, Castile and Iberia would not be able to return to their former self.

It was neither an exporter nor an importer, but a transshipment port. During the following Dutch War, a large amount of gold and silver was shipped to northern Europe to pay military expenses.

The gold and silver flowing out came to Genoa, Venice, Antwerp and other places, giving those places the glory of the Renaissance. However, Spanish became the most popular language at the time, and is now spoken by one-fifth of the world's population.

Around that time, a thinker named Wang Yangming appeared in the East. He put forward the philosophy of mind with the theme of "leading to conscience." He was also exiled to an uncivilized place called "Longchang" because he

He offended the eunuch Liu Jin and was chased by Dongchang Fanzi sent by Liu Jin on his way to his post. He escaped by jumping into the river and pretending to be dead.

Gai's heart is pure and clear, and he has the benevolence to integrate all things into one. Therefore, his spirit flows through and his ambition is clear, and there is no distinction between others and himself, and between things and me. Great men, those who regard the heaven, earth, and all things as one, regard them as one.

The world is one family.

His original name was Wang Shouren, which was given by his grandfather. It was taken from "The Analects of Confucius: Wei Linggong". As we know, benevolence cannot be maintained. Even if you gain it, you will lose it.

There are many definitions of benevolence. Confucius said that loving others is benevolence, Mencius regarded compassion as benevolence, "Zouwu is a beast that does not commit suicide and does not eat" is benevolence, and Qilin said that it is benevolence not to trample on living beings and not to harm others.

The "Qilin" who recognized Santos as the president of the International Federation of Wizards is said to be able to see pure souls. How much does a pure soul have to do with "benevolence"?

If a gentleman is far away from the kitchen and can't see the butcher killing the sheep, he doesn't need to feel sad when eating the mutton?

Anyway, the deer-like animal is not the auspicious beast Qilin, although it seems to symbolize "no king will come out except the Ming Dynasty", so Grindelwald killed one, turned it into a zombie, and staged such a scene.

The meat in the pot was cooking and making a sizzling sound. Pomona stood up to see how the heat was going.

If the fire is too strong, the meat will become mushy and you will not be able to distinguish the bones from the meat because they are all carbonized.
