"Hurry up, we're going to miss dinner!"

Two students passed Pomona and said they were in such a hurry to catch up that no one noticed her.

Only then did she notice that she was near the auditorium, and there was a scorer two steps away from her.

She stood in front of the scorer, and she had a lot more points than Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff last time, although there was still a big gap between her and Gryffindor and Slytherin.

If two horses are racing and the gap between them is not very big, they will run as hard as they can to see who wins or loses. But if the gap is too big, then the lagging horse will not run.

Since the greenhouse is outside the castle and far away from other classrooms, if students find themselves late, they will run if they can catch up. But if they cannot catch up, they will be "calm". They are late anyway, so why rush?

Training a racehorse also goes through a process. If you are eager for success and constantly hit the horse with spurs and whips, the horse will become afraid of running, and may even throw off the jockey who "abuses" it.

In the 1920s and 1930s, in addition to the turbulent movement, an economic situation called cooperatives took shape in Britain.

Humans, like many animals, live in groups, but unlike wildebeests and sheep in the savannah, if lions or hyenas prey on the weak in the group, the cattle and sheep will stand by and watch.

People can "cooperate". When the living environment is too harsh, they will use cooperation to overcome difficulties. This is not only a self-protection mechanism, but also required for common interests. Common interests change with the times, and ancient people governed together.

Floods, because it is impossible for one person to complete such a huge project, and it is not possible for one person to build a railway and control its smooth operation.

Through cooperation, poor workers in cooperatives have improved their lives. There is no conflict between "producers" and "consumers" here. Cooperatives still exist in the UK, and the milk and dairy products produced by "First Milk" account for

A quarter of the UK market.

After the Corn Laws were abolished, the price of grain was too cheap, and it could be used as feed for cattle. Unlike grain, milk has a shelf life of only a few days, and it is impossible to make cheese from all milk.

At that time, there was a place called Roaldale in the north of England. A group of poor workers jointly invested money to purchase directly from the farm. Not only did they cut out the middlemen, but they also bought high-quality food, not just wine, but milk could also be mixed with water.

Dairy farmers are also willing. The price that workers think is very cheap is higher than the price offered by middlemen. There are also railway workers who come to buy milk. Not all of them are like Queen Victoria because they are unwilling to breastfeed.

Money to pay for the nanny.

At that time, the railway was "very slow", so slow that if it climbed a hill, passengers could get off the train and pick wild flowers along the hillside while following the train, and then get on again when the train was almost at the top of the mountain.

The Hogwarts Express seems very slow now, but it was super fast among trains of that era. It was also because of the extremely slow speed of the train that some people stole the goods on the train, and even rode horses in Western movies

Bank robber chasing train.

In some places, due to unreasonable design, the train speed is too fast, and some cargo will be scattered when turning. You can eat mountains if you rely on the mountains, eat the sea if you rely on the sea, and you can "eat the railways" if you rely on the railway. Steam engines are indispensable.

The fuel coal can also be used to heat people. In order to pursue profits, railway companies have kept fuel prices very low.

In other words, the cost of living along the railway line is much lower than in the city. The narrowest "house" in Liverpool is no less than 15 feet. According to an adult male's height of 7 feet, a maximum of two people can sleep there, which is probably a single person.

The size of the apartments. The houses along the railway line can be built much more spacious, and with the convenient transportation, people can go further.

Not everyone yearns for a "cage" life. The railroad built in the United States leads to California. Gold prospectors take a boat from Liverpool to ports such as New York on the east coast of the United States. After disembarking, they have to take a rail or other means to get there.

The West Coast of the United States is a vast and sparsely populated area filled with magnificent scenery.

When you have saved enough money, you will leave this place that is not suitable for human survival and go to the New World to find "freedom" and sudden wealth. Who will listen to the "rules of thumb" the boss said?

If the boss's tender-skinned son replaces the boss and reprimands the employees for not working hard and being lazy, there were many ships in Liverpool transporting slaves to the New World at the end of the 18th century. When Prince Albert died in 1861, the American Civil War broke out, and the British could

If you go to India to buy cotton, where do French textile factories buy raw materials?

Without raw materials, there was no way to start work, but workers still had to be paid. Employers were hard pressed to buy silk clothes, which also led to the slow sales of silk in Lyon.

When the price of grain fell, workers spent less on food, so they had money to buy cotton cloth. This also caused those factories to continue to expand and increase production capacity while maintaining a certain price for cotton cloth.

When grain prices rise, workers will have no money to buy clothes, and then factories will be counterattacked by their own expanded production capacity unless new markets are established overseas.

Whether it was for "the interests of the workers", to deal with the Irish famine, or for other reasons, the factory owner-turned-Prime Minister Robert Peel supported the repeal of the Corn Laws.

In addition, he also implemented tax reforms and introduced the income tax that William Pitt had used to deal with the Napoleonic Wars. The most important tax in the income tax was the land value tax, which was mainly targeted at the landed aristocracy. At that time, all the British

of land concentrated in their hands.

The wealth of the nobility was based on land. Feudal monarchs would give land to their ministers, who would then build on the land. Due to the implementation of local autonomy, administrative costs were not high, and taxation was mainly for foreign wars. In addition,

There was also the issuance of national debt. Although the Napoleonic War was over, Britain was still involved in other wars and was already heavily in debt.

Ricardo once talked about the "parasitism" of the aristocracy. When the people were poor, how could the aristocrats build luxurious manors on beautiful land and boast about their wealth? The solution is land reform, levy land value tax and inheritance tax on the aristocrats, and cancel the

Indirect taxes on civilians. Use this tax to deal with deficits, labor movements, reduce the gap between rich and poor, and reduce social unrest.

With the new Poor Law and the increase in the cost of education and housing, more talents are bound to be needed. At that time, the East India Company adopted the method of admission based on passing the examination and selecting the best. In 1854, the East India Company's charter expired, and Parliament did not intend to renew it.

I made an appointment, one is that the cost of maintaining it is too high, and the other is that this Leviathan finally fell.

The British Civil Service Examination began in 1858. This time, social recruitment and fair competition were adopted. At that time, a commission of inquiry was established to conduct a detailed investigation into the causes of worker poverty.

Then the trade union was established, and it became a legal organization. The police could not rush into the venue to arrest people like the Chartist movement. The wages paid by the employer were no longer the standard of "not starving to death or living by", but could be "

"The lives of individual workers and their families are quite comfortable", and indifference to the poor is bound to lead to common destruction.

Social ethics are rebuilt here, and poverty is replaced from the previous personal moral issues by social issues. Only "admirable, respectable, and capable" people can become members of the parliament. At this time, the "representative system" members become appointed representatives.

The Tories put forward the campaign slogan of "improving people's living conditions" and began to pay attention to the growing power of workers.

Black magic is a painful way to push people to their limits, although it works well in extreme cases.

But if there is another way to go, the vast majority of people are not willing to take that way. There are very few cases like the shipwreck in 1884. The moral community is collective, and no one is completely independent. When one

If a person's behavior exceeds the limit that everyone can tolerate, this person will be unacceptable to society, even if they cannibalize people as a last resort to survive.

The Queen did not sentence them to death, but the public did not.

The Death Eaters' theory of the supremacy of the strong is also not accepted by the public, and force will only make people surrender temporarily.

They don't take the Unforgivable Curse seriously, and the public has no obligation to forgive and tolerate them.

If Lucius Malfoy was being held tightly by the Ministry of Magic, Pomona would stand by and watch, but who made their target be Severus Snape?

Before he came, Slytherin had always been at the bottom of the hourglass.

Of course, when watching a game, I hope that the fight will be evenly matched, otherwise the cheers and cheers will sound weak.

Pomona sighed and turned towards the auditorium.

Maybe she could apologize when she saw him later, but what were they fighting about?
