Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Sun Tzu said: All the methods of using soldiers, driving thousands of chariots, thousands of leather chariots, carrying one hundred thousand armors, and feeding food for thousands of miles, then the expenses inside and outside, the use of the guests, the material of the glue paint, the service of the car armor, the daily expenses, thousands of dollars, Then one hundred thousand teachers will be recruited.

In layman's terms, wars cost a lot of money.

Whether it's a wizard or a Muggle, the truth is the same.

Therefore, in addition to military operations, it is also necessary to attack Voldemort's gang economically.

Due to someone's reasons, Voldemort and his group's economic situation was not optimistic from the beginning. The No. 1 purse among the Death Eaters is not only badly injured, the owner of their family should now apply basal fertilizer to the sugarcane fields thousands of miles away to prepare for planting, which makes the current economic situation of the Death Eaters even worse.

Although the Death Eaters ransacked several families under the inducement of certain reports a few years ago, the spoils they harvested can make them breathe, but the political impact caused by this incident was so bad that it cost ten times as much money as spoils. It's irreversible.

Now that Voldemort and his team have occupied the original site of the Ministry of Magic, their next step is to reorganize the pseudo-Ministry of Magic power, and this will also cost a lot of money, at least enough wages.

"If the Death Eaters cannot quickly capture Hogsmeade, then their next move must be to fight for and control the Ministry of Magic's financial resources and trade channels." Scrimgeour analyzed the economic situation of the Ministry of Magic decisively. Said.

The Order of the Phoenix couldn't speak up, and the venue became a battle between the Ministry of Magic and the British government.

Mr. Rodney didn't know much about the sources of the Ministry of Magic's financial resources, so he asked: "Are you sure to cut off the funds flowing to the two-hole socket in this regard?"

Scrimgeour nodded and said: "Our fiscal revenue has two main parts, one part is commercial taxes, and the other part is import and export trade tariffs."

"In terms of commercial taxes, the taxes on Diagon Alley, Knock Down Alley, and Hogsmeade Commercial Street account for a huge portion."

"Now Hogsmeade is in our hands. Diagon Alley is one of our priorities. We have dispatched people to persuade all shops in Diagon Alley except Gringotts to temporarily relocate to Hogsmeade in the near future. Come."

"For those shops scattered across the UK, we intend to arrest the tax officer of the other side to prevent Death Eaters from obtaining funds."

"Our only difficulty is the shops in Knockover Alley. They will inevitably fall to each other."

Speaking of this, Scrimgeour was a little helpless. There were always dark wizards in Knockout Alley. It was inevitable to fall to Voldemort. And he didn't dare to let these shops enter the Hogsmeade defensive circle.

"What about tariffs on import and export trade?" Mr. Rodney continued to ask.

"This point has basically been resolved." Scrimgeour said, "The International Magic Cooperation Department contacted the Ministry of Magic of various countries as soon as possible. They all support us, and tariffs will be paid to the tax officials sent by us."

Scrimgeour said so much that his mouth felt a little dry, so he took a sip of tea from the teacup in front of him.

The Ministry of Magic's financial income is naturally more than this, but what can be said here is basically something that is easy to inquire, such as taxes.

Mr. Rodney also knew that it was not the time to break the casserole to the end, so he ignored the question and said to Scrimgeour: "We believe that our two sides have a trade agreement on food, daily necessities and other commodities. Continued to be limited, we promise that we will not have any trade relations with the two-hole socket authorities. At the same time, we hope that both of us can further cooperate to combat possible smuggling."

After listening to the other party's assurance, Scrimgeour's face showed a rare smile.

With grain in hand, don't panic in my heart. As long as the necessities of life such as food and cloth imported from the Muggle society can be in the hands of the Ministry of Magic, he has the confidence to draw all the neutrals among the British wizards to his side.

Under the lure of food, he did not believe that the businesses in Diagon Alley would not move to Hogsmeade.

Support the orthodox Ministry of Magic to have food to eat, and support the false Ministry of Magic to be hungry.

After Scrimgeour and Mr. Rodney discussed a few more related issues, the economic issue was settled.

The military and economic matters are over, and the remaining political matters are impossible for the Ministry of Magic to intervene with other people. In this regard, if necessary, a few people can be called to communicate.

Speaking of this, the work that needs to be coordinated by all parties has basically been completed. The details of the next cooperation do not need to be discussed by the big guys. After the big guys have negotiated the big framework and pointed out the way forward, the rest Just leave the matter to the people below.

After the meeting, people from all parties hurriedly left Hogwarts, and they needed to implement the relevant decisions of today's meeting as soon as possible.

In this way, the most idle person in the whole Hogwarts is Harry, and her task now is to stay at Hogwarts obediently and not run around.

There was still some time before dinner, and Hallie, who had been sitting in her seat for a day, decided to walk outside the castle and move her somewhat stiff body.

Today’s weather is not good, and the clouds block the sun, making Hogwarts at high altitudes a bit chilly.

After greeted Professor McGonagall and left the castle, Halle walked towards Dumbledore's tomb.

Today is Halle's first time here after the funeral.

Hallie took a bouquet of wild flowers picked from the edge of the forbidden forest and saw the tomb. She was surprised to find that an old man was using a magic wand to clean the fallen leaves around the cemetery.

Halle had only seen portraits of Grindelwald when she was young and middle-aged in books and on chocolate frog pictures, which made her fail to recognize the dying old man in front of her.

Grindelwald, who was cleaning and playing with fallen leaves, just raised his head and took a look at Hallie, then ignored her and continued to concentrate on cleaning the surrounding lawns and flowerbeds.

Halle put the crude bouquet in front of Dumbledore's tombstone, and then stood there quietly.

Grindelwald has cultivated several gardens around the cemetery these days, and then planted some flowers.

"At this time, his mother planted flowers in his backyard. He has always liked to sit by the flowers and read books on a sunny afternoon~www.readwn.com~ Grindelwald used magic to kill the pests in the flowers, and he was right. Said Harry, who walked to her side after mourning Dumbledore.

If Hallie had a higher vision, she would find that the spell Grindelwald used to clean up the bugs was a killing spell.

"Are you a relative of Dumbledore?" Hallie asked.

"Yes, nor is it." Grindelwald replied without looking up.

"May I ask what your name is Meow?" Hallie continued, and she became curious about the man who guarded Dumbledore's grave.

Grindelwald just shook his head, not wanting to answer Halle's question.

When Hallie saw this, she stopped disturbing him, and walked to the flowerbed on the other side of the cemetery to learn to clean up the pests and weeds.

The dinner is ready, and Hallie in the flower garden in front of the situation is ready to return to Hogwarts for dinner.

At this moment, Greenward asked, "What's your name, little girl?"

Facing people who don’t know the details, Halle still reported her pseudonym in her current form, and she replied: "My name is Lucy Scamander."

"Is Newt Scamander your relative?" Grindelwald asked calmly.

"He is my grandpa," Halle replied according to the script.

In the next moment, Halle felt that the old wizard in front of him looked at him like two bayonets that were piercing at him.

Shaking all over, Halle realized that when facing the old wizard, it was like facing Voldemort.

Halle's dam turned into a stick manufacturing at this moment, and at this moment a figure suddenly appeared between the two of them.

"Your Excellency, this is actually Harry Potter, he just used a little disguise to avoid the mysterious person, and used another identity." Professor McGonagall, who arrived in time, explained to Grindelwald in a cold sweat.
