Chapter 859 Keep a low profile

 Chapter 860 The alternation between the old and the new

In the Triwizard Tournament, the final maze used hedges.

In the 14th and 15th centuries, during the disintegration of serfdom, the emerging British bourgeoisie and new aristocracy used violence to drive farmers off the land, seize farmers' allotments and public land, deprive farmers of their land use rights and ownership, and restrict

Or cancel the original common farmland and livestock rights, enclose the occupied land and turn it into private large pastures and farms.

In this process, they used fences, fences, and trenches to delineate boundaries. In 1945, the British Muggle government began to implement the New Rural Policy, but the implementation process was extremely confusing. Farmers could take out the documents permitting planting hedges while taking out

In the 40 years to 1985, 96,000 miles of hedgerows were lost in the UK, and the government lost countless funds for destroying hedgerows.

The territory passed down from generation to generation of the Malfoy family was also enclosed by hedges, and Lucius also went there when he heard that Muggles were going to hold a meeting on the issue of hedges.

Some people from all walks of life participating in the meeting are determined to continue destroying hedges. The fairy tale world scenery in travel magazines is being destroyed by wildly growing hedges. Not only the hedges must be destroyed, but also the high-voltage power transmission towers and supermarkets should be demolished to restore the original British style.

landscape.

As rents in the city center continue to rise, many hypermarkets have begun to move to the suburbs. Modern life is undoubtedly destroying the ancient past.

Others believe that hedgerows should not be demolished. Shrubs are actually a "landform feature" and a relic of the "enclosure movement." If they try to destroy hedgerows, they are just artificially hindering the evolution of the natural scenery in the countryside.

Lucius went to sit in once and then stopped going, and the meeting on whether these hedges should be destroyed lasted for three days. There is a Judith Hedge near Cambridge University. It is older than York Minster, but

No law could stand in the way of whether the hedge should live or perish, and 900 years of history were bulldozed to make it look more "original".

The hedge appeared before anyone showed up. Logically speaking, if we want to restore it to its original appearance, the University of Cambridge should be demolished. Who would demolish the university? Then a new question arises. Didn’t the teachers when I went to university?

Teach the official who made the decision the history of Judith's Hedges?

It’s all about making the postcard landscape photos look better. Oh, at this time a real estate developer said: The so-called tradition is actually a heavy burden. It is the nostalgia for a golden age that does not exist.

Even if that era really existed, this kind of sentiment may have wiped out invention and innovation.

According to his statement, Big Ben and Stonehenge should also be demolished. This kind of "nostalgia" has hindered his invention and innovation.

Voltaire famously said: Sir, I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to be a complete bastard.

As a tool for dividing territories, hedges definitely look better than barbed wire, but this obviously cannot wake up people who are stuck in a certain thinking dilemma. The reason why the government stopped destroying hedges is not because they heard the people's calls and protests.

But someone discovered that farmers were taking advantage of the loopholes in poor management to earn money for removing hedges. When it was unprofitable, no one would drive bulldozers to manage those hedges, and they continued to grow wildly.

As a result, an argument has arisen, saying that no matter what species is protected, it is actually causing trouble over nothing.

Seriously, all the churches in Britain are not as old as the Judith Hedge. Why should we protect those Muggle children who are playing with fire in the hedge? What if the fire engulfs the church?

Should we save those little giant villains when they are caught in a fire? Didn’t we agree that protecting a certain group of people would cause trouble?

The streets of Sao Paulo are like a maze, too narrow for fire trucks to get in. The fire escape is the canal outside. It's safe to jump in. However, such a dense group of old buildings can easily be affected. There is no need to wait for the flood to submerge Venice.

, the fire first burned away the foam on the sea.

The New Venice Group responsible for the Moses Project did not do any good things. They developed a residential area on Santa Elena Island in the east of Venice. The foundation was formed by the accumulation of mud during the previous dredging of the canal, and the buildings on the ground were newly built.

It deliberately avoids the trend of modernism and looks like a microcosm of Venice. Some of the houses here are no different from the hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of palaces on the main island of Venice.

The Grand Duke of Lorraine was not a good person either. He lent them a house to live in because they could deal with the tricky violin. The church probably would not care about that thing.

They don't have enough manpower, and many of the exorcists are old priests over 65 years old. Even if they can survive the mental pollution of the devil, they can't withstand the torment of the plane. If they die and there are no young people to replace them, they don't have enough manpower.

The exorcist of this diocese had enough character to inform the bishop's secretary that he was on vacation. This island was not Poveglia. The origin was very clean. She soon became satisfied with the community.

Severus said she wasn't worried about the house price. As for whose name the owner would write, hahaha, of course it's hers. Severus Snape is dead, so it's okay not to write her name, just like

It is written in The Origin of Human Inequality: If you don’t make it easy for me, I won’t make it easy for you either. I will hit you on the head with a big stick. By the time you want to chase me, I will have already run far away.

If possible, she would like the money used to buy a house to be used elsewhere.

When studying the history of the Tang Dynasty in China, she saw an example. There was a Turkic Khan named Sulu. He was once a hero who resisted the Arab Empire's Eastern Expedition and was called the Ramping Bull by the Arabs.

He was brave and resourceful, and the spoils of war were distributed among his subordinates. Many people were loyal to him.

Later, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty gave him two princesses as Ketun. From then on, he no longer distributed the spoils to his subordinates, but gave them to his women. Gradually, no one was loyal to Sulu.

The dance they were dancing now was very dangerous, but she was not crazy enough to feel like Su in Piao Li that it was time to start a family and live her own life in peace.

This place will be their safe house, it doesn't need to be too fancy and eye-catching, it will be linked to the same fireplace as the Malfoy house and the house in Godric's Hollow.

Then you need to buy a luxurious manor to attract other people's attention.

"Are you still satisfied, ma'am?"

Just when she was lost in thought, the real estate agent who looked similar to the beautiful and legendary lawyer in Sicily said with a flattering smile.

"I heard that there were former aristocratic manors on the Brenta River, with vegetable gardens there," Pomona said.

"Yes, there are, but they are antiques and not for sale to the outside world."

"If you can find a way to help me find a manor that can be sold, I will buy the two houses together." Pomona said eagerly, "It doesn't matter if you can't find it. I will also buy this house.

However, I think you are the one who suffers the loss, where can you find a good customer like me?"

"You heard what she said." Severus said, "We are just looking after the house for someone else. The main family is in London now."

"Do you accept cash for this house?" Pomona asked. "I don't like using credit cards."

"Please wait a moment." The manager seemed to have suddenly become 30 years younger and danced to the vacant room next door.

"You only look at the scenery outside the window and don't visit the bedroom inside?" Severus asked, holding her waist.

"I live with you, not with a house." She played with his buttons and tiptoed. "You have read Tang History, but do you know Sulu Khan?"

"You want to teach me a lesson?"

"No, I just hope that you can become someone worth following in the eyes of others." She touched his unclean chin, which was the result of her failed attempt to shave him. "I don't want you to be said to be for someone."

A woman is confused and turns from a wise king into a coward."

He tilted his head and took out a bottle of perfume from his coat pocket. They had bought it in a custom perfume workshop, which was once a 17th-century apothecary.

Venice is the center of trade between the East and the West. The wooden drawers containing spices are similar to those in the Chinese pharmacies in Venice's Chinatown. They look better than the bottles and jars filled with animal carcasses in the old bat cellar.

"This is our perfume." He whispered, spraying a little on the back of her hand. "It's like the one you buy at the British Museum."

"You are not Caesar, and I am not Cleopatra." She interrupted his delusion and sniffed the perfume, which contained the smell of evening primrose and mint.

"You are my Helen." He said as if possessed. "I dare say that everyone who sees you will feel that fighting for you is worth it."

She didn't take his words seriously.

"How about we decorate it to look like a mermaid?" she said, looking around at the whitewashed walls. "All the lamps are Swarovski."

"How about we go to the Crystal Palace and have a look?" He took out the key that can go anywhere.

After yesterday's experiment, it can indeed go anywhere, and those old priests will need it more than they do.

But who knows if they could be abused?

Many things, even if they have good intentions, will end badly in the end, such as some people's marriages or hedges.

"No problem, you can do it anytime." She said happily.

At this time, the manager's loud voice came from next door, and they calmed down and did not leave blindly and impulsively like the young people.
