Chapter 2857 Hagrid's Holiday (7)

According to Marx's records in Das Kapital, the "bad omen" actually appeared in 1850.

Although the UK is not the origin of cotton, wool can be produced locally. However, as the population continues to increase, the average age of British sheep is also shortening, and they are eaten as food, which has led to an increase in the price of wool raw materials.

The profit can only be calculated after the commodity is converted into currency, that is, sold. When the profit is lost, the wool machinery starts to stop working, and the linen weaving industry also starts to lay off workers and stop using the machinery.

Flax is a crop that can be grown in Europe, and because of its low price, it would have guaranteed a considerable profit, but British flax is supplied from the Baltic Sea.

First, the population of the United Kingdom is urbanized, and there are fewer people engaged in farming flax. Second, due to the Crimean War, the supply of flax produced in Russia has decreased. The poor quality of crops in other kingdoms has caused the price of flax to soar, just like the wool industry. Just as sluggish.

Then came the outbreak of the American Civil War, and the supply of American cotton to the United Kingdom was interrupted, and Indian cotton was used instead. However, due to many reasons such as picking methods, Indian cotton had a high three-filament content, which seriously affected the quality of cotton, resulting in a decrease in mechanical speed. For piece-rate textile workers, wages have also been reduced due to reduced production.

In Manchester in 1848, 15% of the people were unemployed, and 70% of them were full-time workers. By 1862, 15% of people were unemployed, 35% were short-term workers, and only 49% of full-time workers were employed. rate is higher.

Even for those who work full-time, the wages are pitifully low, and the workers began to engage in drainage, road construction, gravel, street paving, etc., in order to obtain assistance from the local government. At this time, the factory owner came forward and proposed the minimum wage. If the workers refused to accept it, they would be removed from the support list.

This is done to prevent laborers from moving abroad. As long as they don't have money, they can't buy a boat ticket to the New World.

At the same time, they also collected profits from the rents of the workers, many of which were the property of the factory owners.

Low wages, poor cotton quality, and frequent strikes were not the root causes of the 1866 riots.

In 1866, there were four outbreaks of cholera in Britain. In 1858, John Snow discovered that cholera was directly related to unclean drinking water, but his work was not widely recognized. In 1866, the number of deaths from the cholera outbreak in the UK was relatively small, not comparable to that in Russia, but at this time people had awakened, and the polluted Thames River was the "reservoir of poison".

In 1858, there was a great stench in London, which lasted for a month, and the stench was emitted from every pore of the people.

Flush toilets improve the quality of life of individuals, but throw the problem of sewage to the entire city.

The impact of the plague made people gradually understand the specialness and importance of public undertakings, and indirectly affected politics. The Great Plague of London had a certain impact on the later Glorious Revolution. But there will also be corruption problems. Cutting corners in row houses will lead to sound insulation problems at most. Problems with these municipal facilities will affect a lot.

No matter who comes to power, can these problems be resolved? Congressmen are speaking for suffrage. This kind of salon politics is too far from the "bottom".

In the methodology of historical materialism, the class game is mentioned. From the time the person who made the high opinion uttered the word "bottom", a layered consciousness has been formed. A layer is a part of a class, but the difference between the bottom layer and the upper layer is cloud and mud. Of course, mud is trampled.

In the perception of some people in the magical society, Mudbloods shouldn't resist. Their parents are Muggles. How dare they resist the ancient and noble pure-blood nobles?

But the background is a protective umbrella, which can only block the rain but not bullets. Fortunately, it often rains in England. It is not surprising to go out with an umbrella. Hagrid’s broken wand is hidden in his flower umbrella.

He had a good father, but it was a pity that he died too early. He couldn't help when Hagrid was falsely accused of dropping out of school. Only Dumbledore helped him find a place to stay by the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid lived happily every day. Unlike Tom Riddle, he covered up everything about himself. He didn't recognize who he was, but instead made up the name Voldemort. This is also a way to protect yourself, because people have no way to find his past, use the time converter to go back to when he was still weak, and get rid of him.

Ben Cooper finally chose the Time-Turner, which he wore around his neck and followed Pomona back to Hogwarts.

This thing was very dangerous, even more dangerous than a room full of dark magic items in Barnaby's house, but since Fudge had agreed, he had no choice but to ask Ben not to use it indiscriminately, and then let them come back.

Ben went to the Forbidden Forest, while Pomona returned to the castle. In the distance, she heard the bell of the clock tower again.

The bell tower and the bell tower courtyard were built after the 16th century, when pendulum-driven clocks were invented.

She listened to the bell, and ran towards it, like a bat recognizing its position by its sound.

As she walked through a bush, the lacewings suddenly flew up and surrounded her like stars.

Human beings have experienced the geocentric theory and the heliocentric theory, and understand the history of this transformation, but few people know and believe that the heliocentric theory has also been overthrown.

There was a deaf and dumb American woman named Henrietta LeWitt who discovered at Harold Shapley that the sun was not the center of the universe and that Edwina Hubble and the Milky Way discovered in the 1920s Not all of the universe.

When studying the stars, she could at least temporarily forget the pain. She found Cepheid variable stars in the Magellanic Cloud Cluster, created a universe measuring ruler, and confirmed that the sun is not the center of the universe.

Ancient things are indeed worth seeking, but modern discoveries are just as great. It is precisely because the Blackwood family and Paul did not invent fluorescent flashes in their era that they escaped several dangers.

Although only 20 years have passed since the goblin rebellion, the "future" is the future, and Paul does not have the ability to see the future.

The ghosts haunting the North London family were also summoned not by the house but by the Ouija board. After so many years, their news has been covered up by new hot news, and few people remember them.

The house in Godric's Hollow was in ruins the night Avada Kedavra was rebounded, but the problem was that Kedavra wouldn't destroy the house.

A "vision" appeared in front of her eyes again, she saw a layer of glass-like thing, behind the glass was a sculpture of a sleeping dragon, surrounded by flickering torches, and a dark figure stood in front of it.

Portkeys can be anything ordinary, but when made into them, they always shine, like the golden phoenix on Theseus' tie that brought the Scamander brothers back from their dangerous dungeons. Arrived at Hogwarts.

She touches a flying lacewing, the glass disappears, and she appears in a dungeon surrounded by walls.

He looked back at her in surprise.

"What did you find?" Pomona asked nonchalantly.

"An egg full of emperor dragonflies," Severus said. "It's all over the school now."

"How did the Emperor Dragonfly end up in the egg?" Pomona asked.

"Don't ask me, didn't you agree to go to the library?"

"I like this place better." She leaned on his shoulder and looked at "Sleeping Dragon".

"How did you open that egg?" she said lazily.

"It shattered when I touched it, I thought it was a decoration."

"The next thing I'm looking for is the cabinet." Pomona said softly.

"What cabinet?"

"Let's look for it tomorrow. Have you eaten? I'm hungry." She said lightly.
