Chapter 1874 giantslayer (eighteen)
The price of raw sugar in the United States is more expensive than the surrounding countries, and the tariff is higher, but as long as the civilians don't know, they will bear the extra tax. This is an indirect tax. Taxpayers will pass the tax burden on by raising prices. Others, it is usually invisible.
In fact, tax inequality exists throughout Europe, but no country has such inequality as France, and it makes people feel that the gorgeously dressed nobles and priests are exempt from tax because of their privileges, and bread and salt are bought. The poor poor have to pay taxes.
In 1789, it has become easier than ever to obtain aristocratic status. In order to increase income, the king not only sells officialdom, but also sells aristocratic status. These privileged people urgently need to feel that they are distinguished from the public. Nobles need to feel distinguished from "upstarts".
Common people would find it ridiculous, when the Bastille was captured, the king was still hunting. In fact, hunting, like banquets, was used to appease the nobles, allowing them to feel their own status and status through their distance with the king.
However, some people felt the meaninglessness of this ritual, and did not take off their boots and put on silk stockings after the hunt.
The strangeness of the English aristocracy, or the so-called uniqueness of Montesquieu, is that they will mix with the commoners, and the image of the aristocracy is very vague. This is not because they are close to the people, but because they have no perception. Henry Petty's grandfather, William Petty, was a very "pragmatic" man. He was born into a family of handicraftsmen and almost died in a shipwreck. Later, he was made a marquis by the king because he was good at financial management and taxation. Ten thousand acres of land.
This is basically an extremely human minister. Some ancient English aristocratic families did not have the wealth of the worthy family, and Henry Petty was a little more arrogant, and basically nothing special. The one winding through the Alps He also participates in the "railway" of the time.
After a traffic arterial road is repaired, there are often some fortresses to guard. And the Alps also have wood. Selling them as semi-finished products is not as good as processing them into finished products such as carriages. The soldiers and civilians in the city also have industries for civilian use. Enough transportation.
The Lord easily doubled the tax revenue of the Mont Blanc province, and it may continue to increase. He despised the "village girls" of Annecy, and he did not invite them to dance. It seemed unsocial and no one felt it. It's weird.
Even inviting Georgian to be a dance partner was based on etiquette. The British Cleopatra seemed unattractive to him, as if he and his friend William Pitt Jr. were not interested in women.
Men of their class are both friends and rivals. After all, there is only one position of prime minister. William Pitt Jr. is eager to go back when he is in the wild. And a "new man" like him also hopes not to waste his time in the Privy Council and wait for Addington to pay Get it down, and it's their turn to compete with each other.
Except for the big cities of Paris, Rouen, and Lyon, many regions in France lack supporting infrastructure, let alone the Industrial Revolution.
Before the Great Revolution, the feudal aristocracy suppressed the bourgeoisie, and the signing of the Amiens Treaty marked the end of the war after the outbreak of the Great Revolution.
The civilians can't stand it anymore.
Riots sometimes happen in an instant, no matter how bad a government is, it is anarchy even worse. When the main beam of a building is bent, the crackling and snapping sound will come and go, becoming denser, and the pressure will begin to shift to the secondary beam. The gentle and docile farmers, workers and citizens in the past will suddenly change to another face. With the disintegration of society and individual isolation, the human brain will quickly retreat. In contrast, powerful hands. Napoleon used a cannon to hit the crowded areas during the Lunar riot. Blood and corpse fragments were flying everywhere, even if there were none. After being hit, a hot piece of meat smashed in the face is enough to make the impulsive person regain his senses.
When the crowd is noisy and wanton violence is like a giant beast being released, as long as it is a well-dressed person, regardless of male, female, old or young, all are nooses and hung on the street lights. The murderous people will die without saying anything. To destroy the corpse, the cut-off heads were strung with spears and forks in the upper streets, and there were people in the Royal Palace bidding on the heads of the nobles, as if they were engaged in some kind of auction.
When will you wait if you don't run at this time? The prince Condé ran away. In view of the threat of the riot, the notary of Saint Antoine hurriedly paid the workers' salaries, and all the businesses bought the clerks and left safely.
At that time, all the cards from Saint-Antoine to Saint-Honore district were burned down, and taxes were collected across districts after entering the city.
Burn down these levels, the income of the city is only the entrance tax, but who will enter Paris at this time?
Alcohol can speed up blood circulation and can also bring happiness. Nietzsche believes that the spirit of Bacchus is a bridge to the psychology of the tragic poet, not to get rid of fear and mercy, but to transcend fear and mercy and become eternal joy itself, which also contains the joy of destruction.
Who can think so much after drinking? These thugs just wanted to rob. They went to the rich area to search from house to house, shouting bread and weapons. They broke into the wine cellar and split the barrels with an axe. The wine was flowing on the **** like a river, and the smell of wine in the air was pungent.
After Jiujin came up, it was not just a meeting with red ears and nonsense, but also a loss of calmness and restraint. Without a leader and no direction, they ran around in the streets after nightfall. In the terrible night, the citizens had to close the door tightly, and everyone in the house was trembling for the safety of themselves and their families.
After snatching something, it will be auctioned. Whether it is furniture or jewelry, as long as you are bold enough, you can buy the Marquise's diamond necklace at a very cheap price, provided that you can bring it home alive.
The alarm bells of the church came from all directions, but they were all useless. The arsenal was ransacked, the city hall was breached, and the apostasy soldiers opened fire on the German guards loyal to the royal family. They chose to join the people. Fortunately, the royal family did not live in Paris, but in Versailles. They still had time to hold meetings.
When the citizens did these things, they did not feel that they were committing a crime. They were doing this for a cause, for the third level, for equality, and some even shouted, "You have been masters for too long, now it is our turn." .
When they saw the king's army appearing outside the city, their first thought was defense. These people came to deal with them. However, the city gate was demolished, and those tax cards also had a defensive role, not just collecting money.
People rioted in cheers, cheered in the riots. At this time, the regular troops held a wait-and-see attitude. It was not until the late National Guard appeared in the city that there was so much order. The enthusiastic "speakers" who preached on the street closed their mouths and disappeared into the crowd.
The chaos that appeared in the crystal ball was not as good as that at the end of the 18th century, and there were no orators instigated on the streets, only one did not know what the Minister of the Interior was talking about.
People did not hang the rich, but threw Molotov cocktails at the city hall. The doors of luxury stores were smashed open, and the contents were all burned by a fire. This affected the residents upstairs, because the firefighters could not come because of the blocking road. In order to save himself, he followed a rope tied with a bed sheet down from the balcony.
"If it is a prophecy." Severus said, "then we can't stop it."
Crimian turned his head and looked at the wizard in black.
"The teacher stopped Grindelwald."
"That's different." Severer said indifferently, "It is not us who raised **** this time."
"Why does Pomona appear in the crystal ball?" Crimean asked.
Severus did not answer.
"There was an extra clip just now. I saw the face of the Minister of the Interior." Crimean said.
Severus smiled sarcastically.
"What do you know?" Crimean said.
"He said that 'social scum must be severely cleansed'. It is chaotic to link wealth inequality with crime. Poverty does not mean crime, and wealth does not mean morality."
"Why do you have such a testimonial?"
"We also have our own problems." Severus said, "Werewolves, and fairies."
"Do you want to stay out of the way?" Crimean asked.
"Do you want to protect this city like your teacher?" Severus said bluntly, "Be a hero, a great man!"
"No..."
"I can't stand you saints. I think I have the power to save the world." Severus said disgustingly.
"Not the world, but this city." Crimean said, "I heard you met Father Lucas."
"Who?"
"The one at Notre Dame de Paris."
"I saw it, what happened?"
"You should see that the church is different from before." Crimean said.
"Don't be naive!" Severus shouted.
"The times have changed, so you should not be so stubborn." Crimean stood up. "Perhaps you should think about why Pomona left you!"
Severus gritted his teeth and glared at Crimean.
"Lily's death changed you. I think her death was worth it. She gave you a bottom line." Crimean looked into Severus Snape's eyes. Reform, do you know why Albus didn't accept it? Not because he doesn't trust you, but because it's your team. He wants you to become a Gryffindor, but you are a Slytherin and you study Only 7 years, followed him for more than 20 years, why..."
"I decided before putting on the sorting hat." Severus interrupted Crimean. "I chose my destiny, not by a dirty hat."
"I begin to understand why Dumbledore hates you so much." Crimean smiled and said, "You are a bastard."
Severus also smiled. "You remind me of Mr. Porter, who always does what he cannot do, but I doubt you are so lucky to survive the Avadas Curse twice. "
Crimian did not speak.
"I hate that old thing." Severus said coldly, "He hopes to protect Harry Potter's pure soul, but ignores my soul."
"When the time comes, he must sacrifice." Crimean said tiredly, "At least, let him have a happy memory."
Severus smiled.
"You make me sick." He smiled a moment later and said, "As Grindelwald said, you are all hypocrites."
"Pomona is also with us, do you think she is sick?"
"She is the one controlled by you."
"You want to say you rescued her?"
Severus did not answer.
"Young and gentle flowers, under the turbulent fate, under a strange sky like me." Crimean said, "In a place far away from the world, I began to take care of their lives and their studies. This It's a poem written by Racine. Does it remind you of anyone?"
Severus looked at Crimean inexplicably.
"Compared to a great man or a hero, I think he would be more willing to be a teacher, just like that poem wrote."
"Do you want to be a teacher too?" Severus asked.
"I'm still a student." Crimean said, "Sometimes I will go over the materials left by the teacher to learn. I think I know some things that you may be useful."
"What?"
"I heard someone is looking for a map, right?" Crimean said.
"Who told you?" Severus asked.
"You know who it is." After Crimean finished speaking, he spread out a yellow notepad. "Didn't you send him to study there?"
