Chapter 738 The story of the exile

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

  Sometimes men are so strange that they don’t love a living woman, but become obsessed with something nihilistic, such as the Church of Our Lady of Ann Khang, or the Republic of Venice. These are not the gods of love in the sky as Plato said.

  Women tried every means to keep their hearts, but with little success, men who rushed to chase women felt disgusted.

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

  Marino actually saved Giovanni’s life. You can ignore Giovanni, let him be murdered by those sailors, and then replace him as the commander of the navy.

  But he didn't do that, perhaps because it was his destiny, and there was a ghost hidden in the dense fog that permeated Venice.

   "Are the navy commander Giovanni Dandolo and the 49th governor Giovanni Dandolo alone?"

   Pomona eats grilled Orleans chicken wings while doing mental arithmetic. Even if Giovanni Dandolo was in his 20s when he was elected, he would be 8 or 90 years old by 1355.

The Mediterranean sun will become venomous in the afternoon. You must find a place with shade of trees or roofs, otherwise you will get sunburned. Now they are all hiding in the shadows, like a group of shameless conspirators who are making secret plans. what.

   "Oh, I didn't really think about it." Monica said.

  Europeans have always been bad at mental arithmetic, but they are very shrewd. Before the water pipes are installed, the locals in Venice will take water from the Doge’s Palace and then carry it to a distance to sell. Those rich people don’t circle this good source of water to drink.

  As long as there is a bucket, you can take a few more steps, so you don’t have to worry about not having the money for the day’s meal.

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

  The lifespan of wizards is not always much longer than that of Muggles, and only a few of them live to 150 years old like Albus.

   "They belong to the same family." Ali Sandro stared at the plate and said while eating barbecue, "A family has one mind. No matter what plots and tricks Marino has, the Dandolo family will not let him succeed."

  Monica looks at her cousin like a fool.

  The mask is really a good thing, you can’t tell exactly who is hiding under the mask.

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

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

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

  No one made a sound, and then Monica said again, “I remember a photo taken by Eugène Delacroix in this pose.”

   "So you suspect Eugène Delacroix is ​​a member of the Tongmao?" Pomona rolled her eyes, and other conspiracy theorists could make up better stories.

  "He has two works, "Women of Algiers" and "Marriage of Moroccan Jews". Now anyone does not know that Morocco is a tax haven."

   "Wow." Ali Sandro exclaimed suddenly.

  Of course you need to look for Jews to deal with money in Venice. The ghetto of Venice is one of the earliest ghetto in the world.

  Sherlock in the merchant of Venice is the most notorious Venetian Jew, but he has never existed, he is a kind of ghost that haunts this place.

  Everyone hates loan sharks, and who will welcome the debt-inducers into their own homes? Venice accepts Jews, which makes it more open than many other countries.

  Napoleon burned down the gates of the ghetto and released them. The wealthy Jews bought abandoned palaces that the nobles could not afford.

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

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

  Marino was considered to have saved Giovanni Dandolo’s life, but Giovanni still sold him.

  Judas Maccabee is the descendant of Aaron, the chief priest of the ancient Israelites. Once Judas represented the hero who restored the temple, and later became synonymous with a traitor because of another Judas.

  Qian Xuesen took away the American technology to make nuclear weapons and changed the situation that China has been bullied since the Qing Dynasty. However, few people pay attention to tea.

It used to be a pillar industry in China. It was monopolized by the Chinese like silk technology. However, because a few tea workers leaked the tea-making technology to the British, it ceded the market to India and Sri Lanka. Why those teas? Is the union being instigated?

There is an old Chinese saying that “the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant’s nest”. Venice is a famous escape destination. Dante and Voltaire have fled here. In Dante’s poems, the workers of the shipyard in Venice undoubtedly live. In hell, Adam Smith’s theory of "division of labor and cooperation" put forward in his "The Wealth of Nations", Venice Armory has followed this idea of ​​division of labor and cooperation in production, inventory and even finance, and their production process is also 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 if laborers are squeezed unlimitedly, they are easily tempted by profits.

  Let others live badly, and others will make you uneasy. It’s not so easy to find a peaceful place in the world.

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

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

   "When did that happen?" Pomona asked.

   "In 1832, the French July Revolution."

  "When is your history so good?" Ali Sandro asked.

"Delacroix belonged to the Venetian school. His paintings had a great influence on the rise of the Impressionist painters and Van Gogh's style of painting in the later period. I investigated it." Monica shrugged. "The French are also Attempts to establish a constitutional monarchy like the United Kingdom did not succeed. The Orleans dynasty has repeatedly legislated and reformed to increase the influence of the bourgeoisie in the French government, but they restricted the freedom of the press. What is the difference between this and the feudal lord?"

  This is the interesting part of Venice, Voltaire said: Gunpowder, printing and silk saved Europe.

  When the book is printed, it only makes sense for someone to read it. Otherwise, if you wipe your **** 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.

  "I know the wedding, what did the Algiers women paint?" Pomona asked.

   "Women's boudoir." Monica said.

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

   "What's the matter?" Ali Sandro was full of Orleans grilled wings, and asked ignorantly.

  Severus laughed meaningfully. Monica looked at Ali Sandro with disappointment, as if the artist saw a piece of dead wood that could not be carved.
