Chapter 102 Knight Grand Cross

Louis knew that there was a high probability that Lucius was talking about Ron's father, Arthur Weasley.

In the original book, the two even had a fight at the Lihen Bookstore, which can be said to be gentle.

But in fact, some people speculated that Lucius just took advantage of the chaos to plant something to plant the Weasley family, so he did this trick.

"This is a deformed world, honest people will be bullied." Louis took a sip of moonberry juice, "It's really unfair that an honest person like Uncle Lucius should be treated like this."

He has always been able to reverse black and white, this kung fu has long been cultivated to the perfection, his face does not blush and his heart beats when he opens his eyes and tells nonsense.

Moral Vacuum Lewis, redefining the honest man.

Lucius instantly felt like a confidant, and he repeatedly said with emotion: "Oh, the world is getting worse, people's hearts are not old, and there are really fewer and fewer people as kind as His Highness."

Honest Bajiao Lucius, redefines a kind person.

"It's a pity that I'm not strong enough to speak for you, Uncle Lucius." Louis sighed, and it seemed that he really had some sincerity in it.

Only he himself knows how much.

"I don't know what your Highness thinks of...well, the mysterious man?" Lucius walked around for a long time, and finally revealed the question he wanted to ask the most.

He wanted to make a basic judgment from Louis's views on Voldemort.

"To be honest, I don't know the real appeal of the Dark Lord." Louis crossed his hands and smiled meaningfully: "I've heard of his high-pressure methods, in fact, I have always believed that it is better to use violence to coerce others to obey Seek a common interest for everyone, let others unite around this interest, and work hard together with sincerity.”

"Then what about you, Uncle Lucius, do you understand his true intentions? And why did those pure-blood families gather around him in the first place?" Louis asked back.

"He—" Lucius didn't dare to say Voldemort's code name in the end, even the mysterious man didn't dare to say it, so he could only use "he" instead: "He deceived those pure-blood families, he gave the pure-blood The empty promises made by the families have not been fulfilled..."

Having said that, Lucius obviously paused.Seeing his uncertain expression, Louis probably thought of some unpleasant memories.

"The pure-blood family is just a tool he used to get started. After he really rises, he will abandon the pure-blood family like a shoe. In contrast, he is more willing to believe in the existence of half-blood wizards and the fringes of the magic world. Such as werewolves, giants..."

Louis added with a chuckle: "Dumbledore once told me that, in fact, in volts..." He saw Lucius' pupils constricted, and thoughtfully changed his words: "In the heart of the mysterious man, only he has Qualifications trump all people."

"He is good at and willing to distort all relationships. He is well aware of the fear and awe of the Death Eaters, but he describes this relationship as friends and family, the fear of the wizarding world as respect for authority, and the negligence of his subordinates. He likes to sneer at everyone's different weaknesses, and even engages in self-deprecating yin and yang at times."

"However, he has never learned any lessons from his mistakes. Perhaps the only lesson humans can learn from their mistakes is that humans will never learn from their mistakes. This point... the mysterious man is not immune." Louis said Shrugging his shoulders, he said in a joking tone.

Lucius was stunned for a while, and finally sighed: "Dumbledore understands him, it's a pity."

He only spoke half of the words, and did not continue to speak.

It may be regrettable that Dumbledore failed to stop his madness, or maybe he was regretting why he followed him blindly at the time.

"He's just a lunatic, and his pursuit of immortality has distorted his mind." Louis knocked on the cup and continued: "Pure-blood wizards are naturally noble, but this noble dignity is not easy to maintain. You, who have tried your best to maintain the Malfoy family, should have a deep understanding."

"There's no reason for us to push Muggles and Muggle-born wizards against us, as I said to Draco, rather than being isolated from Muggles and Muggle-born wizards. Let them create value for people like us."

"If we can break the Wizarding Secrecy Act, think about it—there are only tens of thousands of wizards in the wizarding world in our country, but there are tens of millions of Muggles... Think about it, how much wealth can we get from these Muggles? Although pounds cannot be circulated in the wizarding world, we can buy goods from Muggles."

Lucius' eyes suddenly lit up, and he firmly grasped the word wealth.

No one thinks too little money, really.You brag like a certain cloud that B said he is not interested in money, that is nonsense, if he is really not interested in money, he will retire to the mountains and forests early.

Louis saw the gleam in Lucius' eyes, and he deliberately sighed and said, "However, this plan is too far away, and it's not something I can consider as I have no foundation in the magic world."

He purposely slipped a slight accent on "without foundation."

"Your Highness, what do you need me to do, you..." Lucius gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind: "Just say it."

Seeing that Lucius finally took the bait, Louis said with a smile, "I just happen to have some small business that I want to do with you, but... I just wonder if you can let go of your prejudice against squibs."

"Your Highness, just as you ordered, for His Highness's great cause, even if you let me keep these squibs... it's fine!" Lucius said through gritted teeth, sincerity is not lacking.

In fact, he also knew that it was impossible for Louis to let him keep a squib, so saying that was just an attitude.

"Hey...how could it be, Uncle Lucius." Louis said with satisfaction: "You don't need to do this, it's just that you need to come forward."

"Please tell me, Your Highness." Lucius also showed interest at the right time.

"Take this moonberry juice as an example. I plan to promote it throughout the magic world." Lewis paused, and continued: "Manpower is needed from the production of the container to the filling... We might as well start with the squibs and provide them with jobs post."

"Louis, why do you want to do this? Wouldn't it be more efficient if we let the house elves do it?" Draco asked puzzled.

Louis stopped Lucius from wanting to reprimand, he looked at Draco, and said in a low voice: "Let me tell you a story, which happened in the history of my mother's hometown. "

So, Louis told him the story of Feng Nuanke and Meng Changjun in an easy-to-understand way.

After listening to the story, Draco was obviously overwhelmed, but both Lucius and Narcissa showed pondering expressions at the same time.

"Draco, what do you think your family needs most? Is it money? Or status?" Louis began to ask.

"Uh, um...should not be lacking." Draco said proudly after a little thought, his family background has always been what he relied on.

"With all due respect, it's because Uncle Lucius was once... I mean, the mysterious man was controlled by the Imperius Curse and was forced to join the Death Eaters." Louis patted Draco's hand: "It doesn't matter whether it is voluntary or Forced, this is an indelible stain."

"And now, you are also facing the problems encountered by Mr. Mengchang in the story. The "few in the Jun family" in the story is the human heart, what is given out is kindness, and what is bought back is the human heart and reputation."

"This is the problem that the Malfoy family is facing now. Now there is a good opportunity in front of them. It provides jobs for Squibs and desperate wizards, but in fact, it provides them with a way out."

Louis laughed in a low voice: "Uncle Lucius is recognized as a platinum noble. Such a noble person would actually help a desperate Squib. Do you think they won't be grateful and moved?"

"It is true that the power of the Squib is very small, but there is such a question: Which Squib is not the son of a wizard? Which wizard can guarantee that his children are not a Squib? People who have seen magic do not want to live in the Muggle world , why don't we give them a chance to live in the magic world with dignity?"

Draco said with some insight: "Louis, you mean...to gain prestige through this method? But...well, I mean, as you know, many people are prejudiced against our family, they don't Will you use this to attack the Malfoy family?"

"No." Louis said firmly: "Whoever dares to object, the saliva of wizards in the entire magic world will drown them... This is different from a conspiracy, Draco, this is an open conspiracy."

"Everyone knows that you are buying people's hearts, but everyone has no way to deal with it. Maybe... we can call it political correctness."

"The Malfoy family is willing to make a small contribution to you." Lucius came out in time to set the tone.

"This is our first cooperation, Uncle Lucius." Louis looked at him, his voice was very soft: "Since you are all in charge, let's split the profits [-]-[-]... In this way, I will not take any of the share that belongs to me. Uncle Lucius can use this money to improve the lives of employees."

Louis looked at the puzzled eyes of the Malfoy family, and said with a smile, "I'm not short of money, just like you, what I lack is status and prestige in the wizarding world."

"Since His Highness is so generous, then I can't be stingy." Lucius gritted his teeth and said hard-heartedly, "I don't take any money from the share that belongs to me, and use it to increase benefits for the employees!"

For Lucius, who has always been naughty, this is already a very rare statement.

"Lucius!" Narcissa was a little anxious, why is her husband so superior, working for others for nothing?

"Okay! Uncle Lucius is indeed the one I like." Louis made up his mind, and it seemed that half of the goal of the first stage had been completed.

Next, get ready to start finishing the other half.

He picked up the goblet and collided with Lucius.After taking a sip of crescent berry juice and carefully feeling the fruity fragrance, he looked at Lucius and said slowly: "When the factory is completed and everything is on track, from that day on, people will not Calling you Mr. Malfoy again."

Lucius didn't understand what Louis meant for a while, and he looked at Louis with questioning eyes.

"Actually, Sir Lucius (Sir Lucius) is more in line with your identity, isn't it?" Louis still imitated Old Deng while speaking, winking mischievously.

Lucius was stunned for a while, and then asked in a shy voice, "Your Highness, you mean..."

"GBE (Grand Cross of the Order of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, Grand Cross, established in 1917.)" Louis said in a leisurely tone, and he paused for words.

For the political resources possessed by the Lewis family, awarding a GBE to someone is as easy as drinking water.

Don't underestimate old Louis just because he plays cards and fishes at home every day. In fact, the previous and previous cabinet secretaries have worked under him for several years.

After all, he was once an Imperial Marshal.

The reason for giving Lucius this benefit is also that people can't help him work for nothing if they don't see the benefit.Adults are different from students, they are sophisticated and tactful, for such people, it is useless for you to rely on ideals alone, and you have to give benefits.

Louis really couldn't do the thing of letting the horse run and stop the horse from eating grass.

Lucius, who hadn't had much mood swings since the dinner, stood up abruptly, staring at Louis, his voice almost coming out of his teeth.

"Your Highness! The Malfoy family will always serve you wholeheartedly!"

Lucius had longed for this day for too long. Ever since his great-great-grandfather was deprived of his title, there was not a day when his family did not think about restoring the glory of the Malfoy family.

Now even an honorary jazz is enough to drive Lucius crazy.

This is the glory that generations have been dreaming of!
It is ironic to say that Louis can easily fulfill the dreams of other generations with a single sentence.

Really answered that sentence, some people were born as mules and horses, and some people were born in Rome.

And some people were born to rule Rome.

Even Narcissa was shocked by Louis' words.

After all these years of getting along, how could she not understand her husband's desire.

She still remembered what her father-in-law said to Lucius before he died of dragon pox.

Louis finished promising benefits, and began to make cakes for Lucius again: "Perhaps one day, Uncle Lucius and Aunt Narcissa may be... Baron and Baroness? Viscount and Viscountess? Or... Earl and Countess? "

He said a sentence, paused a sentence, and every sentence was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of Lucius and Narcissa.

Some people may say that people in the wizarding world don't care about Muggle titles.

Just listen to this and you're done.

Don't forget, before the seventeenth century, the British Ministry of Magic was under the orders of the royal family!

The wizard is a bit like the literati in ancient Seris. You see, he puts his reputation on him like a floating cloud every day. If you really give him a reputation, he can slip on his knees faster than anyone else...

Such things as titles are not Chinese cabbage, it is something that many people dream of in Daiying.

Especially in this era when the wizarding world generally abides by the Wizarding Secrecy Act and has little contact with Muggles, wizards with titles are even rarer.

In fact, almost none.
