From the leader of Mingjiao to the heavens

Chapter 312
Wei Xiao's first move after taking the position of chief financial officer was to set up three factories, a flying broom factory, a potion factory, and a magical creature farm.Fudge gave him a total of 10 Galleons, and he added another 90 Galleons to make up [-] gold coins to build the factory.The shareholding structure is [-]% for the Ministry of Magic and [-]% for Wei Xiao. As for the employees, they are the house elves of the Ministry of Magic.

The Ministry of Magic has a Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, where Cedric's father, Amos Diggory, works.Below him there's a house-elf resettlement office.

House elves are also a kind of goblin, but they are two different races from goblins. They have big ears and eyes the size of golf balls. They can use magic, even without a wand.

House-elves are in the status of being enslaved by wizards, working as servants in each of the fifty houses.

There are a lot of house elves that are registered in the Ministry of Magic and have not yet been settled. Wei Xiao found Fuji and transferred more than [-] of them directly.

Fortunately, they are very tame and respect Wei Xiao very much. When Wei Xiao looks at someone, that little guy will lower his head and dare not look at Wei Xiao.

Tut tut tut, not bad not bad.

Wei Xiao divided them into three parts and began to direct them to build the factory.

The manufacture of a flying broom is not too difficult. A random wizard can apply magic to his own broom, and it can also make it fly with himself. The difficulty is the speed. An ordinary flying broom is not as fast as a horse. quick.

Before building the factory, Wei Xiao had figured out the history and manufacturing principle of the flying broom, and even bought the latest Firebolt research.

He first built a factory building, in which five machine assembly lines were manufactured, and each assembly line was driven by an elf, sending the selected wood and tough grass into it, and about half a minute later, a complete flying broom came out from the other end.

During this period, fifty-seven processes including plasticizing, grinding, talisman, lithography, carving, baking, and installation of tough grass broom heads and metal accessories have been experienced.After the broom is manufactured, the elves have to cast spells to "activate" it. Each broom has a magic pattern code, which can be set after the customer buys it. Only those who know the magic pattern code can use it.

Wei Xiao named these broomsticks "Electric Fire Time". The flying speed is comparable to the latest Firebolt, but it is more comfortable.

One of the biggest disadvantages of the flying broom is the problem of "crotch jam". After all, riding on the broomstick, it will be uncomfortable to get stuck after a long time.There is also the problem of wind resistance. When flying in the sky, you will encounter the "torture" of "the strong wind blowing your face like a knife". If you use it all year round, it will make people age quickly...

Wei Xiao added the Taoist Wind Talisman into the broom. The front end of the broom can split the light and break the air, separating the air in front and letting them flow to the left and right sides. Part of the wind is guided to flow to the back along the broom pole, forming an air cushion. Lifting people up, especially the crotch, separates them from the broomstick, like an invisible air support.

The price of the latest Firebolt is 249 Galleons, not to mention ordinary wizarding families, even those who are a little richer can't afford it, Wei Xiao directly set the price of "Electric Fire Time" at 99 Galleons, directly [-]% off!
As soon as this broom came out, it immediately caused a sensation. At first, everyone thought it was cheap, and its performance would not be as good as the Firebolt. They just used it to replace the Nimbus 2000, but after using it, they were shocked...

The output of the Firebolt is very low, because they don't have Wei Xiao's integrated assembly line machine that relies on formations, so they have to do it step by step manually, and the goblin workers who produce special iron parts often go on strike...

Wei Xiao doesn't have this problem at all here. Ten elves work in two shifts, producing day and night, and soon sell like crazy. Not only the UK, but also wizards from Northern Europe, Africa, Japan, and the United States all come here to purchase.

Similarly, Wei Xiao's potion factory is also so successful, all standardized, assembly line production, thirty house elves, after systematic training, can mass-produce scabies potion, hemostatic potion, bone-growing potion, hair-growing potion, recovery potion, etc. Potions, sleep potions...the price is more than half cheaper than the current price!
In the magical animal farm, Wei Xiao selected some economically valuable animals, such as invisible beasts whose fur can be used to make invisibility cloaks, Nixiu and Puffy Fleece that can be kept as pets, and acromanders that are full of treasures. , the Winged Demon who made amnesia potion, etc. He is also planning to raise dragons, so he applied to Fudge and transferred a group of dragon raising experts from Romania, as well as nearly a hundred dragon eggs. Blood, dragon skin, keel and other materials.

His approach was opposed by many saints, who stood up and criticized Wei Xiao for being inhumane...

Wei Xiao took their words as a deaf ear, and when he gave Fu Ji the dividends he earned in the first month, Fu Ji was so happy that his eyes were bent into crescent moons, and he praised Wei Xiao greatly.

Wei Xiao's three factories, after the official operation, can earn a lot of gold coins every day. He only needs gold coins, copper coins and silver coins, and they all take Gringotts to exchange them for gold Galleons.

Half a year later, he suggested to Fudge to start taxing merchants in the UK!
This was opposed by many people, whether it was the nobles represented by the pure-blood wizards or the low-level wizards represented by Dumbledore, they all strongly opposed it.The aristocrats thought they had dug the meat, because many shops were opened by their families, and many workshops had their shares, while Dumbledore and the others believed that the Ministry of Magic should not interfere with the free life of the people...

When Fuji saw this posture, he was about to back down immediately, so Wei Xiao used Xiaoyao Shenyin to hypnotize him and strengthen his mind.

So Fudge found a lot of his confidantes, such as Umbridge the pink toad, this woman who was extremely annoying in the original book, charged forward in this matter, went forward bravely, argued with demons, pulled people around, and joined forces ...

Finally, at the end of the year, the Ministry of Magic passed the Tax Act, taxing all merchants in the territory.

With the tax source, the Ministry of Magic suddenly became generous, and Fudge followed Wei Xiao's idea to increase the wages of all the staff in the Ministry, directly doubling the wages, and also gave many year-end bonuses, which was immediately welcomed by most of the staff. support.

Fudge's position in the Ministry was more secure, and Umbridge was promoted to Deputy Minister, overseeing the legislative and executive departments.Wei Xiao was also promoted to deputy minister to oversee property operations. Under his finance department, a tax office and a bonus review office were newly established.

This guy is an old politician, through Umbridge and Wei Xiao's two "right-hand men", he firmly controls the legislation, justice, and financial operations in his own hands.

Only Wei Xiao, when he was reading the book, hated Umbridge so much, wished he could punch the toad directly into the book, smashing the face of this pink toad, but now he has become the same "right arm and right arm", it can only be said that it is good luck trick people.

With Fudge's support, he became a popular figure in the Ministry of Magic. Other wizards, no matter how much they dislike or despise him, they still have to put a smile on their face and even try to curry favor with him.

Fuji is very dependent on Wei Xiao, and smiles every time he sees him.

However, on this day, he began to frown.

"What's going on?" Wei Xiao asked.

Fudge sighed with horror: "A student died at Hogwarts!"
