Harry Potter Morning Light

Some people say that Venice is the pearl of the Adriatic Sea.

Sometimes men are so strange, instead of loving a living woman, they become obsessed with some nihilistic things, such as the Church of Our Lady of Ankang, or the Republic of Venice, these are not the god of love in the sky as Plato said.

Women try everything to keep their hearts, but with little success, and those men who are eager to chase women feel disgusted.

What you can't get is always the best, because you can't get it, you are always looking for it.

In fact, Marino saved Giovanni's life. He could ignore Giovanni and let him be murdered by those sailors, and then replace him with his own people to become the commander of the navy.

But he didn't, perhaps because that was his destiny, that there was a ghost hiding in the fog that hung over Venice.

"Is the naval commander Giovanni Dandolo and the 49th Governor Giovanni Dandolo the same person?"

Pomona calculated in her head while eating grilled Orleans chicken wings. Even if Giovanni Dandolo was in his 20s when he was chosen, he would be 80 or 90 years old in 1355.

The sunshine in the Mediterranean Sea will become vicious in the afternoon. You need to find a place with shade or a roof for shade, otherwise you will get sunburned. Now they are all hiding in the shadows, like a group of shady conspirators who are secretly planning What.

"Oh, I never thought about that," Monica said.

Europeans have always been bad at mental arithmetic, but they are very smart. Before the water pipes were installed, the locals in Venice would fetch water from the Doge’s Palace and sell it far away. Those rich people did not circle this good water source to drink for themselves.

As long as you have a bucket and are willing to walk a few more steps, you don't have to worry about not having enough food money for the day.

For wizards, a problem that can be solved by a spring of clear water is a matter of life and death for Muggles.

Wizards don't always live much longer than Muggles, and Albus's kind live to 150 is only a minority.

"They belong to one family." Alessandro stared at the plate and said while eating barbecue, "One family has one heart, no matter what conspiracy Marino has, the Dandolo family will not let him succeed."

Monica looked at her cousin like she was looking at a fool.

Masks are a really good thing, you can't really tell who's under the mask.

Pomona looked at Severus, he could still eat like a normal person, he was not keen on blood or human flesh, but he really looked too much like a ghost or a vampire.

"Tell me about Eugene Delacroix, what do you know about him?" Severus asked.

"Do you know this position?" Monica put her left hand into her bosom.

No one made a sound, and then Monica said, "I remember a photo where Eugène Delacroix was taken in this pose."

"So you suspect that Eugène Delacroix is ​​a Kiwaniser?" Pomona rolled her eyes. Other conspiracy theorists could make up better stories.

"He has two works, "Women of Algiers" and "Jewish Marriage in Morocco." Now who doesn't know that Morocco is a tax haven."

"Wow." Alisandro exclaimed suddenly.

Of course, you have to find Jews to handle money in Venice. The Jewish ghetto in Venice is one of the earliest Jewish ghettos in the world.

Shylock from The Merchant of Venice is the most notorious Venetian Jew, but he never existed, he's a kind of ghost that haunts the place.

Everyone hates loan sharks, who would welcome debt collectors into their home? Venice accepts Jews, which makes it more open than many other countries.

Napoleon set them free by burning down the gates of the ghetto, and wealthy Jews bought abandoned palaces that no nobleman could afford.

Pomona and Severus only lived in the residence of a Spanish merchant, and the Grand Duke of Lorraine could not afford such a luxurious palace. When Mussolini came to power, all the Jews were driven out. They had money and could leave Italy to seek asylum in the United States, but those poor Jews who were dragged down by the notorious Jewish bankers could not escape.

They are very smart, and it is difficult to be as successful in business as them, but there are very few who are willing to bear the eternal infamy for the benefit of the country like Enricodoro.

Marino saved Giovanni Dandolo's life, but Giovanni sold him anyway.

Judas Maccabees is a descendant of Aaron, the chief priest of the ancient Israelites. Judah once represented the hero who restored the temple, and later became a synonym for traitor because of another Judas.

Qian Xuesen took away the technology of manufacturing nuclear weapons from the Americans and changed the situation that China has been bullied since the Qing Dynasty. However, few people paid attention to tea.

It used to be a pillar industry in China, monopolized in the hands of the Chinese just like silk technology, but because a few tea workers leaked the technology of tea making to the British, they ceded the market to India and Sri Lanka, why did those few tea workers Trade unions were instigated?

There is an old Chinese saying that "the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant's nest". Venice is a famous refuge. Dante and Voltaire both fled here. In Dante's poems, the workers of the Venetian shipyard undoubtedly live In hell, Adam Smith put forward the theoretical idea of ​​"division of labor and cooperation" in his "The Wealth of Nations". It is the same as the modern enterprise assembly line.

More importantly, they established an early cost accounting system.

It is human nature to pursue greater profits, but they are easily seduced by profits if they squeeze workers infinitely.

If you let others live a bad life, others will also make you feel uneasy. It is not so easy to find a peaceful place in this world.

"Morocco has not always been a tax haven, it was as messy as it was in the Middle Ages." Pomona said cautiously.

"But it used to be French territory." Monica said. "Delacroix went to Morocco. In addition to the Moroccan wedding, he also painted Algiers women, all painted during that trip."

"When did that happen?" Pomona asked.

"1832, the July Revolution in France."

"When has your history been so good?" Alessandro asked.

"Delacroix belongs to the Venetian school of painting. His paintings have a great influence on the Impressionist painters who rose later and the painting style of Van Gogh. I investigated it." Monica shrugged. "The French also Trying to have a constitutional monarchy like Britain, but it didn’t work, the Orleans dynasty made many legislations and reforms to increase the influence of the bourgeoisie in the French government, but they restricted the freedom of the press, what is the difference between doing so and a feudal lord?”

That's what's interesting about Venice, said Voltaire: gunpowder, printing and silk saved Europe.

Books are only meaningful if they are printed and read by someone. Otherwise, if you wipe your ass with the pages of the book, you will think it is not as soft as toilet paper. In the Middle Ages, many Jewish books were printed in Venice.

"Wedding I know, what are the women of Algiers painting?" Pomona asked.

"A woman's boudoir," said Monica.

"Oh, Merlin's beard!" Pomona screamed.

"What's the matter?" Alisandro asked ignorantly with his mouth full of Orleans grilled wings.

Severus laughed meaningfully, and Monica looked at Alessandro with disappointment in his eyes, like an artist seeing a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved.
