Chapter 1893 Father'swatch (1)
Lucius Malfoy pretended to be a businessman from England and talked with people in the garden. When he discovered that someone might know more, he used spells and veritaserum so that he could learn from each other "Inquiry" about the news.
Severus was not interested in his "games" and smoked by himself.
According to the imagination of Adam Smith and others, the result of pursuing personal interests will enhance the interests of society. It is not a gift from dairy farmers and butchers that we can drink milk and eat pork, but they are also chasing benefits.
However, when everyone blindly pursues the maximization of personal interests, it is not always possible to maximize the interests of the society as a whole. Quinay's economics is to enable farmers to live a good life, but it makes those food prices out of reality. Urban residents The income cannot be bought at all, and the price of grain has not been reduced when supply exceeds demand in accordance with the laws of the market. Even if a large amount of grain arrives, some people are hoarding it, creating the illusion of food shortage, and the higher price is paid.
Below is a group of hungry citizens, and above are the rich men who taste the treasures of the mountains and seas every day. People can do anything when they lose their minds, including robbing food trucks. Hunger, restlessness, excitement, and nervousness make the irritable people lose the ability to think. What they do is completely inconsistent with their goals. In towns that cannot be transported without the **** of the army, the caravan simply does not go and gathers the crowd. The troublemakers got even less bread than before, so they left the city and became refugees. They went to the farmhouses in the countryside to search for food. In their eyes, these people were in collusion with the hoarders. Peasants actually sell food at home or in inns, but the army also has to recruit and ask for food. This vicious circle has caused the people to fall into more serious famine than natural disasters.
The eyes of people who are really hungry are different from those who are full. On the day Lucien returned to Paris, Severus once observed with a mask in the opera house. Maybe Bonaparte was still a little demeanor at the time, but he The demeanor will not last long.
Phantoms are not allowed in that world, otherwise he would have taken Pomona away long ago. The opera house was used as a trap by the Squeezers, and Pomona was the bait. This was not the first time she was used as a bait.
Severus remembered the poem written by "I". The Sheep King used the princess as a bait and asked "Uncle" to drive away the suitors for him. The prince of the neighboring country also came to propose. The other party's country is stronger than the Sheep Kingdom. Marrying a princess is equivalent to annexing the Sheep Kingdom. If the "uncle" wants this kingdom and the princess, he has to work for the Sheep King, but the old king does not. He promised to marry the princess to the "uncle".
What a resemblance to you, Snape, gave the old fool the improved formula of the wolf poison potion, and asked him to make a deal in exchange for the support of the neutral members of Wisengamo. There is also Sirius Black, who dreams of regaining his reputation and attending social occasions with a beautiful girl, and then Dumbledore can control Pomona, the patriarch of the Black family.
Even though Sirius Black has been removed, he is still the last living member of the Black family. Although both Nacissa and Pomona think Regulus is still alive, it seems that after the resurrection of the Dark Lord, people think that all the dead are It is possible to crawl out of the grave.
Whether the Dark Lord's new body has that ability is actually very doubtful. Although Bella is obsessed with him, there are still people watching Lestrange's jokes, including Snape, he I feel that I can't be the same as Lestrange, I feel that it is a kind of...
This is too funny. At this moment, he suddenly felt something rubbing against his ankle. He looked down and found that it was a poodle raised by someone else.
He wanted to kick it away, but he stood there without moving. This feeling reminded him of the woman who likes to take off her shoes and rub his trouser legs. He never knew that the "senior sister" who could be in front of him, took off the dirty witch robe outside, and jumped directly into the black lake to swim with the mermaid, actually had this side.
"You are not allowed to peek, Severus!" She was so bluffing to warn her that she didn't even think it would be inappropriate for them to say this in their thirties.
Harry Potter has a son in his twenties, he is in his thirties...this is not what Dumbledore has done.
Including the giant he most believed in, Hagrid, and finally broke down with Mrs. Maximian, it was not because he did not understand this.
There is already a red-haired Lily in his memory, and he doesn't want to add another one.
Giro Ramo's lover refused to give him a kiss before he died, and the girl with green eyes refused to give him a kiss.
The eyes that looked at him were very clear, reflecting his shadow like a lake, but unfortunately he was not Naxisius and would be obsessed with his own reflection.
"You have your mother's eyes." This was the last thing he said to Potter. He felt nothing, like a cold lake.
And the other woman, she was silly, sitting on the grass under the Irish starry sky, looking like she was continuing the study of vampires, but she was actually watching him busy, as if she still felt very proud, because the tent was He built it to realize the "how to let men take the initiative to do housework" in a women's magazine.
"She loves me, do you know?" Severus cursed in a low voice.
"What?" Lucius asked.
Severus raised his head, watching Lucius carefully.
Platinum Malfoy looked at him with confusion.
"What did you inquire about?" Severus asked calmly.
"You won't believe it." Lucius smiled. "Have you heard of Chicago?"
"I haven't heard of it."
"There is a Dearborn Fortress near Chicago. It is located on the west bank of Lake Michigan. It is a very important fur trading point, and it is also an important trading point for cargo ship transshipment and warehousing. It is a strategic location. The UK intends to fund the construction of a railway. To connect it to Philadelphia."
"What?" Severus asked.
"Henry Dearborn is the name of a hero in the War of Independence. The Americans owed money not only to the French, but also to the British. This debt is difficult to get back. The British plan to use this way Ten years of gains were used as compensation to offset part of the American debts during the War of Independence."
Severus remained motionless.
"The King of France is dead, but the King of England is not dead, although he probably died of anger when he knew that the British financed the War of Independence." Lucius said with a smile. "There is another point, to build a road from Brussels to Mechelen. ."
"I remember that it will take decades for the railway to develop."
"The railway I'm talking about is not the kind of railway that we are accustomed to pulling by steam locomotives, but a horse-drawn railway. Napoleon used it this time in Switzerland. It has indeed improved the carrying capacity, and it will arrive from Antwerp in the future. Mechelen's cargo ships all use flat-bottomed ships. He built fortifications at the entrance to the sea in Antwerp. Except for flat-bottomed ships, ordinary merchant ships with a lower draught can't get through. Of course, it also includes our warships, unless we don't load shells and artillery. "
Severus smiled, "What does he want to do?"
"There is a river to transport from Antwerp to Mechelen, but there is no road from Mechelen to Brussels. That is to say, after the repair of this section of the railway, it can quickly reach Brussels directly from Antwerp. That city is good at brewing beer and transported from France. The grain can be brewed there and sold to Brussels." Lucius sighed. "I know what he is doing. Belgian beer and German beer taste very different. Would you like to have a drink?"
"Have you ever had butterbeer?" Severus asked Lucius.
"Who hasn't drank it as a child." Lucius sneered, "Beer is not bitter, is it still called beer?"
"The time here is faster than outside. We can drink and talk." Severus said.
"Next time...People in Fox's group think that North America is impossible to take back, but some people still think it can." Lucius said, "It's like developing South America is a dream, no wonder so many people are addicted to this dream."
"Do you want to stay?" Severus asked.
"No, Naxisha and Draco are waiting for me outside, but yours, godfather, don't just remember to play, forget about business."
"Did you hear the sound of destruction?" Severus suddenly thought of the man in the gorgeous clothes in the Church of Our Lady of Angkhang.
"This door will only open when you really need it."
"Krichel knows the way to open the entrance." Severus said, "If I don't come out for a long time."
"I'll come to remind you." Lucius said calmly, "I suddenly envy you a little now, Severus."
"Do you think Naxisha would like that dwarf?" Severus sarcastically.
"No." Lucius flirted with his long, smooth hair with grace. "She likes me like this."
Severus glanced at the peacock walking behind Lucius, but unfortunately it was a green peacock. If it were a white peacock, it would look even more like a white peacock.
"Let's go, let's go somewhere else." Severus said blankly.
"Wait." Lucius picked a red rose and put it in Severus's breast pocket. "That's better."
Severus looked at Lucius' eyes. Although his gray-blue eyes looked like a mirror, they were not as cold as those green eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that." Lucius said displeasedly.
"what?"
"You remind me of the White Wizard, and he looks at people the same way." Lucius said, "This is a bad habit. It makes people feel uncomfortable. Remember social etiquette."
"I thought I had to look into other people's eyes when talking to people."
"You give me the feeling that you want to see through my secrets. This is very offensive, so he is not liked."
"What about me?" Severus asked.
Lucius smirked, "Let's go, let's continue shopping."
After speaking, he looked everywhere, as if looking for the next "target" in the garden.
