From the leader of Mingjiao to the heavens

Chapter 311 Chief Financial Officer
Wei Xiao didn't want to be a wizard policeman, let alone be Fudge's bodyguard, so he proposed to join the Department of Mysteries.

When mentioning this department, the muscles on Fudge's face twitched slightly, and there was a trace of vigilance in his eyes: "The Department of Mysteries is the top secret organization in the department, and its tasks are top-secret. Inherent mysterious magic, they are collectively referred to as the Silencers... In fact, this department is almost beyond the Ministry of Magic. Even as a minister, the Silencers refuse to listen to me, and there have often been large-scale uncontrollable magical accidents in recent years , The Ministry has reached a preliminary consensus to close it down."

Wei Xiao caught the fleeting vigilance in his eyes. No matter what he said was true or not, whether the Department of Mysteries would be closed or not, it could not be mentioned again: "Then I will go to the Finance Department?"

"Treasurer? There is no such department in the Ministry of Magic."

In fact, the salary of the Ministry of Magic is very small, including the salary of Hogwarts professors, and wizards are generally very poor... Except for those with a lot of capital like the Malfoy family, most of them are like Weasley The family grows their own vegetables and raises their own pigs, and lives a tight life. The whole family's property is only one Galleon.

The entire magic world is in a very old, loose, and inefficient social model, and there is no financial industry at all.

Wei Xiao drew a big cake for Fuji: "If we can do it successfully, the money will no longer be in the hands of goblins, but will belong to wizards and the Ministry of Magic, so that all wizards can live a prosperous life, you, You will definitely become the greatest minister in the history of magic! You will be praised by every wizard, and become a poem passed down to future generations..."

Fudge is very interested in this: "The coins we use now are indeed made by goblins. Gringotts are opened all over the world, and everyone is using gold Galleons, silver Sickles, and copper Knuts. If you use them all Our money..."

"Print your portrait on the money?" This sentence made Fudge almost slap his thigh with his hand!

He came from the most inconspicuous Department of Magical Incidents. If it hadn't been for another old Crouch who broke something because of his own reasons, he would never have been able to sit in this position. Many people in the Ministry of Magic didn't respect him very much, and even speak of him with contempt and contempt.

When he thinks that he is truly in power, that everyone supports and admires him, that his face is printed on coins, and that his deeds are described in history books, he is so excited that his hands tremble.

The two belonged to Lang Youqing's concubine, and they were finalized within a cup of tea. The Ministry of Magic officially hired Wei Xiao as the director of the Finance Department. The specific operating expenses and the staff under the Finance Department-to be determined!
The guests and the host enjoyed themselves, Wei Xiao sent Fuji away, and prepared a can of high-quality tea as a gift before leaving.

Wei Xiao had wanted to sneak into the Ministry of Magic for a long time, but he didn't want to waste his time in those useless departments. This time, he was the director of the Finance Department, even if he was a poor commander with no money and no one, that would be very good.His ultimate goal is to sneak into the Department of Mysteries. Before that, he can make a lot of money.

He wrote a letter of resignation, asked Dumbledore to deliver soup dumplings, and then began to prepare for his appointment.

Two days later, he received a reply from Dumbledore approving his resignation with great regret and regret.

Wei Xiao changed into a wizard robe made of precious fabrics, put on a wizard hat, and went to work in the Ministry of Magic with sunshine in his arms.

The first time I came to the Ministry of Magic, I needed to walk through the guest passage, and I had to find an inconspicuous phone booth on an inconspicuous street in London.Very dilapidated streets, very old telephone booths, the kind of dialing with your fingers, dial the number "62442".

"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, please tell me your name and what you are going to do." A woman's indifferent voice sounded.

"I'm Wei Xiao, and I'm here to work in the Ministry of Magic."

After a pause for a few seconds, a woman's voice sounded: "Mr. Wei, welcome to the Ministry of Magic..."

The floor of the phone booth shook and sank like an elevator, down, down... and when it stopped, it was in the Great Hall of the Ministry of Magic.

There is a large space here, with a golden fountain in the center, with statues on it, and water gushing from the wands of witches and wizards, the arrowheads of the centaur, the tips of the goblin hats, and the ears of the house-elf, falling on the circle. shaped pool.

This is the eighth floor underground, Wei Xiao also called the elevator to go up, and went to the minister's office on the basement floor to find Fuji.

"Oh, Director Wei! You are really welcome to work in the Ministry of Magic!" Fudge came over and hugged Wei Xiao, like an old friend who has known each other for several years and has a good family.

He recruited many people to introduce to Wei Xiao, including the directors of various departments and his favorite confidants.

Wei Xiao politely declined his decision to hold a welcome banquet. He was too lazy to do unnecessary entertainment, so he came to his office and started to work.

He simply decorated the office, and first asked Fudge to obtain the required information.

He soon discovered that the main value and purpose of the existence of the Ministry of Magic is not to better protect the interests of wizards and make wizards live better, but to prevent Muggles from finding magicians and try their best to erase All traces of wizards in the Muggle world...

As early as 1692, there was an intensified worldwide anti-magic, witch-burning violence, in which the priests of the Church played a leading role.The International Confederation of Wizards established the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, and since then wizards have all gone into hiding and created their own secret communities, many small villages have been enchanted, wiped off the map, and put under the Muggle Repelling Curse , they also split many animals into magical creatures that cannot be known by Muggles.

The Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters under the Ministry of Magic is a department dedicated to erasing traces of magic accidentally exposed in human society.

The Ministry of Magic has very loose constraints on wizards, and they don’t even collect taxes from wizards—they rely on sponsorships and advertisements, such as hosting sports events in the wizarding world like Quidditch to make money, and the salaries for department staff are so meager. Pitiful.

The coins used by wizards are minted by goblins. The so-called goblins are actually goblins. There are many kinds of goblins. The goblins in this world are the highly intelligent race among goblins. They are good at alchemy and calculation. And extremely greedy.

The goblins once launched a rebellion against the Ministry of Magic because they were discriminated against by wizards. For the first time in 1612, the goblins were defeated and lost many things, including Gringotts. The second time was in the 18th century. This time they took back Gringotts. of control.

Wei Xiao took the information and pondered: The goblins are in charge of Gringotts and the financial system of the wizarding world. They paid the price of blood and got it through war. He wants to break this situation now, which may cause the goblins' first Three rebellions.

But it's okay...

He waved his wand and let the thick data hang in the air. He sat on the swivel chair and planned while watching.

To fight a financial war, you must have chips in your hand, either currency or goods. He has nothing in his hand now. Fudge only wants to take advantage of it, and the Ministry of Magic is also poor. Gold coins for banks to fight economic warfare.

Wei Xiao has a lot of gold, but his attainments in alchemy are limited, and he can't create a gold Galleon that can be mistaken for the real one.

You can only start with goods, but if you want to quickly accumulate enough goods, you have to move from small workshops to industrialization, mass-produce goods, and serve as the anchor of the new currency...

In fact, the best way to obtain a large amount of goods is to connect with the Muggle world. The Muggle world has a large amount of goods, pouring them into the wizarding world, and soon the wizards will be able to live a life of reaching out for their coats and opening their mouths for food.

Unfortunately, that is illegal!

Nothing from the wizarding world should flow into the Muggle world. If Muggles see something related to magic, the Ministry of Magic will send special personnel to erase their memories.

This is indeed a bit aggrieved, Wei Xiao can understand Greenwald a little bit now...why should the wizard hide?
