Chapter 973: You Deserve It All
"Actually, I was planning this when Professor Dumbledore was preparing to deal with those goblin slaves." Fudge gently pushed the documents on the tea table to Anton.
"Unicorn farms, broom factories, floo powder factories, various resource channels in Diagon Alley..."
Fudge raised his eyebrows, "I was in contact with the two children Neville Longbottom and Percy Weasley. Neville Longbottom asked me not to bother you with these messy things."
"This is killing me, you know, I did something for you, but I can't tell you, it's just too uncomfortable!"
Anton looked at him in astonishment, picked up the documents from the table, and looked at them one by one.
"To put it simply, it is to divide up the interests of the original pure-blooded families."
"I took this opportunity to kick many people out of the Ministry of Magic and replace them with my own people."
"This is what you deserve, and no one dares to snatch it from you."
Anton flipped it casually, "None of them told me."
"It hasn't started yet." Fudge clicked his tongue a few times. "The pure-blood families followed Voldemort to America and gave up such a large piece of fat. There are too many benefits that need to be negotiated and distributed."
"Professor Dumbledore and you don't like to be involved in these dirty things. The people below don't have a big boss who has made a final decision, so the game is extraordinarily prudent."
"And there are too many things that have changed in it. There are no goblin slaves in the factory, and goblin workers are needed in order to operate. There are too many problems with this alone, and finally pushed things to the Ministry of Magic. side."
"But you know, it's impossible for me to copy the policies about goblins that Voldemort formulated in the Magical Congress of America. The environment is different, and the considerations are different."
"At the same time, I have to think about whether Dumbledore and you can agree to do so."
Fudge put down the teacup with a smile, "It's difficult, but it's not a big deal, it just needs a little time to get used to it."
"Before, the Ministry of Magic was busy with the top 100 competition, and now it is busy with the development of the new headquarters on Azkaban Island. Everything has a chance to buffer."
"Little things~"
"Wow~" Anton exclaimed, just what Fudge said made his head explode, but Fudge handled it so easily, it's amazing.
"Generally speaking..." Fudge motioned Anton to taste the tea on the plate, and said with a smile, "Professor Dumbledore is going to give you almost everything you should have, but he won't explain it. , After all, things like distributing benefits don’t sound good.”
"You can do it from now on. If you plan to become a school manager without money, there will be enough money-making channels for you to complete this condition."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Fudge is still in the posture of "I understand you very well, I have done everything for you", so don't be too comfortable.
Anton rummaged through these documents, and finally fixed his gaze on the documents of the 'Floo Powder Factory', raised his eyebrows, "There's even such a thing!"
Fudge looked over his head and nodded, "Actually, the biggest right about the Floo Network is the right of the Department of Magical Transportation. Although the production cost of Floo powder is not high, the price is not high, and it is strictly restricted by the Ministry of Magic. , the profit is not considerable.”
Anton didn't see it that way. The population of the wizarding world was too small. If some top bigwigs invented something, they would generally stagnate to a certain extent.
Unless it is something like a broomstick that allows more people to compete and is extremely profitable, there is almost no replacement.
Anton read the popular science in an old magazine in the school library. The Floo powder used in the fireplace of the Floo network was invented by the wizard Igneta Westsmith in 1302. What did the Floo powder look like at that time? This is what it is now.
"I want this factory, and you can talk to Neville about the rest."
Anton flipped through the file with some excitement, looked at the descriptions of various purchase channels inside, and roughly calculated the process of making Floo powder.
Anton prefers space travel to time travel.
What's more, this thing is related to space travel, such an interesting thing, he is very interested.
"It just so happens that you are here, and I want to discuss something with you."
Fudge rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Your cousin, Percy Weasley, I like this kid very much, and I hope to make him my assistant."
"You know, everything in the new era is full of unknowns, and I need more powerful subordinates."
"Umbridge, a crazy woman, is very easy to use, but you need to be extra careful when using this person. I hope to have a helper with a normal head."
"Percy has a cousin like you, a father who is a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic, and a relationship with the Order of the Phoenix and the cottage. He can go a long way."
"As long as you practice a little, he can also provide you with better help."
"Anton, what do you think?"
Anton shook his head, "I can ask him and respect his choice. If other academic masters like him can study in the cabin or Azkaban Academy, or enter the Magic Academy that Dumbledore plans to open soon Further study, there may be more possibilities in the future.”
"Hey~"
Fudge chuckled, picked up his teacup and shrugged his shoulders, "Oh, then you may have misjudged the person, he is just a restless person, his heart is very restless, and he has no way to settle down to study magic."
"Maybe." Anton sighed. Among his companions in the hut, Percy's talent even surpassed those of Harry, Hermione, and Draco. He might have become Professor Snape or Professor McGonagall. powerful wizard.
But if he chooses to be like Fudge...
um~
It can only be said that everyone has his own ambitions.
Anton nodded, "I'll talk to him."
"One more thing." Fudge ran to rummage through those magic boxes again, and took out some documents from inside again.
"You asked me to secretly spread the news through various channels. The news that the barrel hut in Hogsmeade village has the ability to transform and grant Muggles the ability to cast spells. I secretly spread it to the Muggle world."
Anton took a breath, and stared at Fudge with wide eyes, "Are you crazy?"
As the highest authority to protect the "Secrecy Act", personally destroy the "Secrecy Act"?
Fudge chuckled, "Didn't you say that the more people who know the better, the Muggles are the most!"
"Of course, if this is done, the Muggle employees I recruited in the 'Muggle Information Collection Office' will be very relaxed. We only need to tell them cryptically that this rumor is true and can turn them into wizards..."
show~
Anton blinked, and suddenly wanted to go to Hogsmeade to see the barrel hut. He wondered what changes would happen to that place after it affected so many people's perceptions.
He originally thought that this matter should take longer.
"This is the information of the Muggle employees of the 'Muggle Information Collection Office'. After you transform them into wizards, they can come to the Ministry of Magic to work."
Fudge put the document in front of Anton, "You can also examine these people. If you think it is inappropriate, you can remove it. I will arrange someone to cast the forgetting spell on him. If there are other suitable ones, you can also put them in. You know .”
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows.
Anton curled his lips, "I don't want to bother with this kind of thing, you just choose."
As he said that, he froze for a moment, and looked at Fudge hesitantly, "I want to recommend someone, but I'm not sure if he is willing."
"Who?" Fudge's eyes lit up, he wasn't afraid of Anton mixing up his influence, he even hoped that this would be the case, everyone restrained each other, instead of just doing nothing like Dumbledore back then, but he could be slapped at any time If you drop it, it will be even more uncomfortable.
"Vernon Dursley, you know him."
Fudge rubbed his chin and mumbled, "Interesting, very interesting, the adoptive father of the savior, the father of the first Muggle Squib, the first batch of Muggle representatives who officially converted wizards, and the goblin tribe and Sir Merlin..."
He clapped his hands sharply, and looked at Anton with bright eyes, "I'll talk to him!"
Anton looked at him, "What are you doing?"
"Of course he was invited to be the director of the 'Muggle Information Collection Office'. Hehe, the Malfoy family, which still retains some influence here, intends to train Vernon's son Dudley."
"If I put Vernon as the director, their support would go to Vernon."
"That way, it's so easy for me to do something."
Fudge pointed to the documents on the table, "Believe me, there are too many benefits. When you and the hut receive these channels, resources and assets, you will find that everything will become very easy."
"Yeah?"
Anton didn't bother to think about it. His mind was already thinking about 'Floo powder' and the gray magic ritual magic in the barrel hut in Hogsmeade village.
But at least one thing has been confirmed. The hut is going to officially enter the board of directors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it is not known how many seats it can occupy.
