Chapter 2425 royalcircus (eight)

   St. Patrick once said that he found the entrance to **** in Ireland.

  If there was a famine in Ireland, England could collect less rent for butter, wheat, etc., and not so many people would die. However, the landlords in England may not be able to afford it.

   The financial crisis broke out in England in 1825. This time, there were no natural disasters and wars. It was entirely caused by overcapacity, and a financial crisis broke out almost every 10 years.

   At that time, the Bubble Act had been repealed, financing was no longer so troublesome, and textile mills could be expanded indefinitely, but the market was gone, and a large number of banks failed. In 1837, when the Liberty Bank crisis broke out in the United States, and at the same time, the Charter Movement broke out in England, even some landowners who did not squander their land rents in their pockets suffered heavy losses.

  In 1847, the Parliament amended the Poor Law. The original intention of this bill was to exempt some tenant farmers from the rent and let the landlord pay more land taxes. In the past, due to the war, the grain imported into England was limited, and it also indirectly played the role of protective tariffs. After the cancellation of the Corn Law, the price of grain fell, but the British farmers at this time did not protest in the Bread and Blood Movement as they did in 1802. Boycott foreign food imports and they can give up growing food.

This period was the golden age of British railway speculation. With money, you could buy low-priced food imported from foreign countries, and you could earn more than a year of hard work. Not to mention the discovery of gold mines in California in 1848, and the gold rush made many Europeans travel to the United States. The final solution to the Irish famine was to send a large number of hungry people to the United States. In the early days, the Liverpool White Star Company operated the Australian route. During this time, gold mines were also discovered in Australia, so the trade between Australia and the United Kingdom grew rapidly, but due to excessive Since loan expansion and mismanagement, the White Star Company collapsed in 1868, and the new White Star Company shifted the market to Atlantic Shipping's cruise ships.

The Titanic is a cruise ship, not a cruise ship. At the beginning of the movie, you can see a lot of cargo on the ship. If it is a cruise ship, there are only passengers' luggage and some supplies. A lot of space in the cabin will be converted into a casino and a "shopping street". ,swimming pool.

When farmers have other choices, they will no longer be desperate for food prices. When they see that they can't make money from growing food, they will switch to other jobs. This has led to the reduction of Britain's own food production. Instead of falling, it increased, and the gold reserves that were used to buy food at that time aggravated the economic crisis.

By 1857, the railroad crisis in the United States broke out. At that time, the number of railways built in the United States was the sum of the railways built in other countries, but the production of steel in the United States did not grow explosively with the railways, mainly because the Americans bought the German ones at that time. steel.

Although there is a large amount of coal in the Ruhr area, it does not produce iron, but they have rivers passing through them. When the entrepot business was carried out, the steel industry in Rotterdam also developed. At the same time, Prussia relied on the rise of Ruhr and Silesia, which broke out in 1870. the Franco-Prussian War.

   At this time, the world has entered the second industrial revolution. The rise of France is fast, and the rise of Germany is even faster. In 1867, the United Kingdom reformed the law to restrict the use of child labor. It was only in the 1980s that compulsory education was stipulated.

Georgiana remembers a "story" told by William Pitt, Jr., a 9-year-old girl decided to jump into a river because she couldn't bear the heavy labor. Contagious like the plague.

Such is the case in this era, when apprentices become adults, they are fired because their wages are higher than that of children, they have no skills other than the cotton textile industry, and more importantly, their health is damaged. In a factory, there are only 16% are "healthy", and law and order in the city has become a serious problem.

   And then there's Scotland Yard, they'd be effective in changing the order and there wouldn't be the chaos of Whitechapel, and Jack the Ripper who came out on the mayor's run, and then the mayor who ran for sheriff when his term was up.

   Britain also had Wilberforce, who campaigned against slavery, and even though everyone else left when he was speaking in Parliament, he chose to stick with it.

   And Martin of Animal Protection Law, who was also ridiculed.

   and Edward Chenner, a former guardian of Georgiana, who had a rough time promoting cowpox.

   There is a poem that goes like this:

  Tough times make strong people,

   The mighty make the moments of ease,

  Easy moments make weak people,

  The weak make difficult times.

  Although Georgiana didn’t know what Wilberforce and William Pitt were going to do, seeing a disabled man with limited mobility still running around made it hard for her to refuse him, and Roosevelt was also a polio patient.

  Before "Happiness knocks on the door", the protagonist once slept with his son in the toilet of the subway, because he was late and did not grab the bed in the almshouse. He had to get through that night first, and then he would have a later life.

  Rebuilding from ruins is impossible without hard work. If England made Ireland strong again through a lot of investment, there would be problems in the early 19th century. Around 1825, the protective regulations that postponed the reduction of tariffs were almost expired, and it happened that Britain encountered a financial crisis. As usual, the industrialists in England would dump their products into Ireland at this time, so that the only remaining textile industry in Ireland could not be saved. .

  Red wine represents holy blood in the sacrament ceremony. There is a holy blood river in Bruges. Can this "blood" bring any changes to the entrance of hell?

   Pomona went to Ireland in 1995, but at that time she could only see beautiful scenery, magnificent fairy tales and sweet love.

   She had never thought about it before, but because of a half-breed veela from France, everything changed.

  Perhaps because of this, Albus did not give her the spell that should belong to the Earth Academy to protect the castle, but taught it to Minerva McGonagall, not because they were an academy.

   While listening to the music, Georgiana saw Lupe. Although he was a little worried, he did not appear anxious.

  When the French were about to cut down the trees on the second Brussels wall, he not only provokes Fouche, but Berthier, the Minister of War. Berthier was born in a family of architects. His father, Jean-Baptiste Berthier, designed the War Department, the Navy Department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Palace of Versailles for Louis XV, and painted the Royal Hunting Ground for Louis XVI. topographic map, and the construction of several public buildings in Paris.

  If you want to lay new gas lamps, it must be in the most prosperous and beautiful place, preferably the city center. However, the center of Brussels has been razed to the ground by Louis XIV, and the square has been planned, and the former cloth and bread market has been demolished to build a new palace.

   The useless old city walls can’t be demolished, let alone the beautiful palace. Generally speaking, railway stations in Europe should be built with emphasis, but is the railroad minecar of horse-drawn necessary?

   At this time, the music was over, and there was applause from all around, followed by Georgiana.

   Padma almost got the wand out of the glove while applauding, but luckily, they left the museum, boarded the carriage, and went to the next location.
