Hogwarts: Forbidden Son of the Black and White Lord

Pointing to the file bag on the table, Lucius said slowly.

"This is a private bill between me and the Ministry of Magic. You can have a look at it. After reading it, I believe you will have a preliminary understanding of the greed of the bugs in the Ministry of Magic."

Picking up the document bag on the table, he opened it and took out the documents inside. Augustus began to read carefully. There were only some simple current bills and some Gringotts bills inside.

But the more he looked at Augustus, the more surprised he was. The Malfoy family alone imported nearly 10 Galleons to the Ministry of Magic for various reasons every year.

At this time, at least half of the 10 Galleons were transferred to the private accounts of the Minister of Magic and senior officials for various reasons. No wonder the Ministry of Magic never collects taxes like wizards, and has the ability to employ the entire magic world. More than half of the labor force even has spare energy in various sports and cultural activities.

It seems that the entire magic world is more conservative than I imagined. Not only is the culture and personal cognition still at the level of the Middle Ages, but even the economic model is the Medieval tribute system.

The nobles control most of the wealth, and then pay tribute to the Ministry of Magic in exchange for protection. Officials of the Ministry of Magic embezzle part of it, and then distribute the rest as wages to more than half of the workforce in the magic world.

After receiving their wages, these people went to spend in the shops invested and operated by the nobles, and then transferred the money back to the nobles. However, because the officials of the Ministry of Magic embezzled a large amount of wealth, they themselves became nobles. Pay taxes to the Ministry of Magic and guarantee the rights of other nobles.

This is simply a perfect closed loop, but this closed loop looks perfect but it is very easy to break. As long as there is a problem in one of the processes, the entire closed loop will be like Rupert's tears being pinched by the tail. The seemingly indestructible object exploded to pieces.

It seems that I only need to do some economical tricks, such as attracting some nobles to my side so as not to pay taxes to the Ministry of Magic, then this decadent Ministry of Magic will experience financial constraints and even collapse.

Thinking of these, August couldn't help laughing, and he found another way without bloodshed.

Seeing the smile of the young man in front of him, Lucius was very puzzled, what's the matter, can't he read?Looking at such a huge expense, I can still laugh, the child will not have any serious illnesses.

Looking at Lucius' puzzled expression, Augustus thought of another aspect, that is why these pure-blood nobles would support terrorists like Voldemort, and they were unwilling to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic.

Because in this economic model, the traditional pure-blood nobles who have been famous for a long time pay the most money. Their families have completed the primitive accumulation of wealth as early as thousands of years ago, so they have been paying taxes for a long time. party.

They pay the most money and efforts, but what they get in exchange is only the nominal security protection of the Ministry of Magic, and this protection is actually not completely safe. When a powerful terrorist like Voldemort appears, the Ministry of Magic will think that it is to protect most of the people. The families were denied special protection on grounds of the safety of civilians.

Therefore, these pure-blood families have long been dissatisfied. When Voldemort put forward the slogan of defending the interests of pure-bloods, no matter how cruel and ideological his methods were, most of these pure-blood families fell to Voldemort's side.

After all, you stretch out your hand when you ask for money, and you don't care if something happens. Is there such a dark and shameless person in the world?It would be better to fight with Voldemort. If they succeed, they will be heroes. If they fail, they can use their family's powerful influence and wealth to ensure their own safety. At least they will not be killed by the opponent because of fighting against Voldemort.

After all, no matter how black the Ministry of Magic is, it only asks for money, and Voldemort is really terrible, but if this situation is changed, Voldemort's violent methods and foul-smelling ideology may no longer have any market.

Thinking of this, Augustus smiled even more happily. It seems that this trip was really not in vain, and the harvest was quite fruitful, but looking at Lucius' more puzzled face, Augustus also smiled awkwardly. He smiled, then pretended to be calm and said.

"Ahem, well, Mr. Malfoy, I have read these bills, now can you tell me in detail how you cooperate with the Ministry of Magic, I want to know."

Hearing these words, Lucius nodded reluctantly, and then spoke slowly.

"Our cooperation with the Ministry of Magic has been going on for a long time. They have to intervene in almost all valuable businesses. The general pattern is like this."

"If you want to do business in the British magic world, you must first win over the Ministry of Magic to jointly establish a joint venture. With the capital injection from the Ministry of Magic, the public will trust your reputation, and then raise the price of the product under a clever name."

"After making money, the Ministry of Magic's money will be returned in full, and the profits will be divided into [-] to [-]."

"Why is it only 7%?"

Augustus said with some dissatisfaction, after all, the other party took [-]% of the shares without selling anything. Isn't this stealing money?

"7% belongs to other people. Whether you can get [-]% depends on the face of the Ministry of Magic."

Lucius said helplessly.

"Whose face."

Augustus asked in surprise.

"Ministry of Magic, it depends on the face of the Ministry of Magic."

Lucius replied.

"I finally came up with such a brilliant idea, which can make some small money. In the end, I have to win over the Ministry of Magic to jointly establish a joint venture, and I have to make a clever name to raise the price. It also depends on the face of the tmd Ministry of Magic, so I can't beg for food on my knees Yet?"

Augustus said angrily.

"Then if you want to put it this way, doing business in the British magic world is begging on your knees. That's it, how many people want to kneel but there is no way out."

Seeing the angry young man in front of him, Lucius continued with some helplessness.

Augustus stood up and scolded the corrupt capitalist society in his heart. He wanted to show the two equally corrupt noblemen in front of him what it means to earn money while standing.

"Let me ask you, why should I give Cornelius Fudge a little color instead of flattering him like you, I just can't kneel down because of my bad legs."

Augustus said loudly, then picked up his file bag and threw it in front of the two, continuing.

"Can this make money?"

"Can make money, kneeling"

Lucius nodded and said.

Augustus picked up the file bag, took out his elder wand, and read directly.

"protegodiabolica fire shield body!"

In an instant, the blue Fiendfire filled the small room, and the scorching air waves made it difficult for the two people in front of them to breathe. Seeing the painful expressions of the two, Augustus pointed at the Fiendfire in the room and said coldly.

"This plus this, can you stand up and make money, and tell Cornelius Fudge and his group of trash that this project and the rest of the Malfoy family business are all managed by me, Augustus Dumbledore The bullish elements are in there."

"If he dares to share my money, I will burn the British Ministry of Magic to ashes in Fiendfire tomorrow. I think many people want to be his minister."

After talking about Augustus withdrew his magic, the two people in front of him finally recovered their normal breathing and began to cough crazily. Lucius looked at Augustus' expression, and finally lost the original contempt and replaced it with Deep fear, and of course that unbearable excitement.

It seems that the situation that the Malfoy family has been paying tribute to the Ministry of Magic after the fall of Voldemort may have some small changes.

"Okay, gentlemen, let's go and help Mrs. Malfoy prepare lunch. After all, today is Christmas Eve. As for Mr. Leno, I agree with you to join. Please discuss the specific matters with Mr. Malfoy. I think everyone will have this breakfast." Should be full."

Augustus ignored the changes in the expressions of the two, but walked out the door talking to himself. After all, as the boss behind the scenes, he should leave the specific issues to them. He came to Malfoy Manor Enjoyed a hearty Christmas lunch.
