Chapter 848
Chapter 849 The man playing the flute
When architects design high-rise buildings, they must first survey the ground to see if it can bear the weight of the building.
The architecture in Venice relies on driving in wooden piles to build a flashy city on the lagoon.
The country needs an army, but Venice uses mercenaries. The success of the navy reflects the failure of the army, but that refers to group combat. The alleys of Venice are like mazes, very suitable for street fighting.
There is a reason why the Austrians chose to use artillery shells instead of rifles. Those intricate streets will absorb troops like a sponge.
In countries where the seasons change violently, people wear clothes of good quality and simple style. In countries where clothes are only for decoration, the clothes will be more luxurious. Almost all aristocratic women live in a very comfortable environment, and their clothes are very Luxurious, this is completely different from the clothes worn by female guerrillas.
The same goes for houses. In cold Northern Europe, ordinary houses are mainly designed to keep warm. The cabins in the Alps are also very simple. The palaces in Venice are very luxurious and have many bright windows.
In order to show wealth, the British will fill the table with meat, while the rich in Italy will fill the table with candies and flowers.
Food can give people happiness. People who have been eating black bread for a long time will suddenly feel the feeling of happiness when they eat a piece of chocolate. Taking away their right to eat chocolate, the poor man will be aroused to have "fighting spirit", or he will Work hard to become a rich man, or join the revolution and overthrow the feudal and bourgeoisie. Robbery is always easier than starting a business.
Louis XV was more luxurious than Louis XVI, but the common people did not riot during his reign.
Why was Louis XVI so much more unlucky than Louis XV?
This mainly stems from a car accident. Jean-Jacques Rousseau was hit by a carriage while walking. The perpetrator drove away and Rousseau had to bear the medical expenses himself.
That can be understood as an unsuccessful assassination. Rousseau's thesis was very inflammatory among the poor. This "deviant" thought was just different from the "obedience" that the church and the nobility wanted. Rousseau shook the foundation of the Palace of Versailles. .
For this kind of person, I will kill him if he is not of any use to me. Rousseau's accident happened two years after the death of Louis XV. At that time, he had been excluded from the aristocratic circle. He was like the man who was excluded from other caves. That caveman I killed, there are a lot of beautiful things out there, don't bother decorating your house and clothes.
The problem is that none of the other cavemen believed his story. They did not kill Rousseau directly, but cornered him in another way, just like they did to other civilians.
Pomona had no appetite for the delicacies placed on the tyrant's table. The Muggle aristocrats and wizarding aristocrats were much the same. They were all discussing some inside information that they knew but others didn't know, or new ways to make a fortune. The women discussed fashion and Scandal.
She is very unfamiliar with the Internet, but it is probably a place where people can speak freely, and everyone does not use their real name, and can hide their identity like a mask.
As long as one hides in the crowd, people dare to do things they usually dare not do. When a riot broke out in 1310, a woman threw a flower pot from the window and killed the flag bearer.
The house in Venice has many floors. Who knows who threw it? I started a rebellion in the first place, but I feel guilty. Once the flag falls, I lose even more confidence. The power of a group needs to be condensed to be powerful. This kind of cohesion is not necessarily a gathering.
They may also be scattered in various residential buildings, such as guerrillas fighting together against invaders.
The Internet has become a channel for people to vent their negative emotions. Anyway, others don’t know who is hiding behind the pseudonym.
In the Spiral of Silence theory, when people express their thoughts and opinions, if they see that the opinions they agree with are widely welcomed, they will actively participate, and such opinions will be published and spread more boldly; and when they find that a certain
No one or few people pay attention to your views, and sometimes you will be attacked by a group of people. Even if you agree with it, you will remain silent.
The power of this field is so great that people simply dare not study it.
Most individuals will seek to avoid the isolation that comes from holding certain attitudes and beliefs alone. Fear of isolation makes them reluctant to express their opinions.
The Internet does not have this limitation. No one agrees with him for venting his negative emotions. Some people agree with him and he is even more proud. It is even more different if he is criticizing a sinner who everyone thinks is guilty, just like Kepler's mother Ka
Talina, people felt that "putting her on trial" was justice. If Kepler had not defended his mother himself and used impeccable reasoning and arguments to prove the false accusation, his mother would have died at the hands of her neighbors.
No one would hand over the remote control of a nuclear bomb to a madman. The current Muggle world was abnormal. She didn't mind dealing with Muggles like Mrs. Evans and the young people she met in Venice. She just couldn't deal with those chaotic people.
people communicate.
If Pomona directly said that Muggle students were restricted from enrolling, she would definitely be regarded as a pure-blood along with Slytherin, and she did not want to be the target of others.
When having enough food becomes a problem, people will be so concerned about food issues, and when they are full, they will pursue other things.
There is no respect for farmers and soldiers, and worship of the rich and luxury. In this kind of atmosphere, no one will pay attention to agriculture. Italians will praise college students who study agriculture, and their employment is not a problem.
Managing cattle to make them grow meat and produce milk is also a skill. The price of top-quality Wagyu cattle is astonishing. It is also a luxury product that ordinary people cannot afford. An annual salary of one million euros is not a big problem.
Pan, the God of Shepherd, played the flute to his grazing cattle and sheep, and the cows also listened to the symphony, so that they could have "snowflake meat" in a relaxed mood. The money spent on such "consumables" is much more than real estate.
The houses of the ancient Egyptians had no ceilings at all, so that they could save money on lamp oil by shining the moonlight at night.
The fundamental conflict of interests between feudal lords and capitalists is the relationship between man and land. In feudalism, farmers mainly cultivated land. Capitalists wanted farmers to go to cities and work in factories. The land was used for urbanization and building factories. Industrial wastewater polluted the land and fresh water, making it unusable.
.
The water in Venice was polluted by sewage discharged from industrial areas, and the microorganisms died. It is still sinking, but it has improved after various bans. The result of these bans is that people's lives return to before the industrial revolution, that is,
The life of the old royal palace aristocrats is envied by these 21st century nouveau riche.
When talking about animal husbandry, if you only think of dirty cowsheds and bloody slaughterhouses, then no one will think it is beautiful.
But when it comes to sunny afternoons, gurgling streams, green grass, cattle and sheep grazing, and an ugly goat-headed monster playing a flute alone that no one can understand, the feeling is different.
The faun is often misunderstood. In the past he was misunderstood as a devil, but now he is despised.
Pomona felt that there was a generation gap between herself and Muggles, let alone other wizards, so diverting attention was the best way. It happened that purebloods had privileges, and the elimination of inequality between purebloods and Muggles could be the main focus of the "struggle"
Target.
She would not put the "machine gun" in the hands of a madman. Sacrifice of human beings in order to obtain supernatural power is really crazy.
"Do you believe that rats can be hypnotized?" Severus asked. "There was a rat infestation in a small town. The whole city was helpless and had to abandon the city and escape. At this time, the spotted piper appeared. He said he could get rid of the rats, but
I want to receive a reward."
"I know this story. In the end, the townspeople didn't pay him, so he played the flute again and called the mice back." Pomona said, "It was originally a wonderful story, but why did it end in such a cruel way."
"Many marriages have a wonderful beginning, but the end is not perfect. How about we not meddle in other people's business?" Severus said with a smile, "I saw a vampire passing by just now. Aren't you doing research on vampires? Talk to him.
How about a chat?”
"How do you know he's a vampire?"
"Because the way he looks at humans is the same as when humans look at food." Severus took her arm and said, "Let's go and get to know each other."
