Chapter 1207

The British Ministry of Magic has always been a bit special.

Voldemort's appearance, while a bad thing for the entire British wizarding community, was not without positive effects.

For example, the number and quality of British Aurors have surpassed that of Europe for more than a decade. In the face of pressure from Voldemort and the Death Eaters, the British Aurors had excellent skills.

Not only that, due to the existence of Dumbledore, the British Ministry of Magic has always had a strong presence in the International Federation of Wizards, which has invisibly given the British Ministry of Magic a lot of influence.

Don't underestimate this. Dumbledore's charisma made many people sell his face, and as long as the Ministry of Magic did not disagree with him, he was able to have a say in the European wizarding world in many cases.

But this also put a lot of pressure on the British Ministry of Magic. The populace could ignore the twists and turns, and if they felt that their Ministry of Magic was not doing a good job, or that they had lost people internationally, the yelling letter would flood the minister's office in a matter of minutes—Fudge had a good say in that.

Scrimgeour has been holding on to Solim partly because he really wants to do something for Britain, and partly because the situation is really forcing it.

The toughness he showed in his confrontation with the Death Eaters appealed to the public, but it was far less intimidating than the actual benefits.

A minister who has a tough attitude towards evil and a minister who can make the people an extra 2 Galleons a month is definitely the latter more popular.

Scrimgeour has been tough, and the Death Eaters have basically withdrawn from the British mainland, and what he wants now is to benefit the people, otherwise the depressed British mainland will definitely not let him be re-elected, and he must let the people see hope.

So what's the most compelling and lucrative thing in the wizarding world right now? It is clear to everyone that the interaction between the two societies will inevitably create a great deal of benefits. But it's not easy to get this benefit in your mouth.

The presbyterian constraints were a major problem that the European Ministry of Magic could not ignore. If you want to eat well and be full, you have to work. Luckily, Scrimgeot had a good relationship with Hermione during their time at school, and it was a point to take advantage of.

The head of the Muggle Affairs Authority is related to Solim, Solim's immediate boss is his great-grandfather, and even he himself is the overseer and head of Britain's exchange with Muggles...... Even better, he's also a Hogwarts alumnus.

If Scrimgeour doesn't get the idea at Solim, that's weird.

Solim was very face-saving, and he stayed. Wanted to see what Scrimgeour would say. Percy and Hermione were also on their side, as alumni of Solim.

"To be clear, I'm not the one to make the final decision. Solim knew what Scrimgeour was up to, so he said the ugly thing in front of him.

"But your influence is unmatched. There was no need for Scrimgeour's hint, Percy, an old fritter who had been in the Ministry of Magic for several years, naturally stepped forward.

"Besides, we don't want to do anything that touches the bottom line, and we won't embarrass you. Scrimgeour duly said: "The Ministry of Magic has been having a lot of problems lately, and this in-depth cooperation with Muggles can solve most of the ......"

In fact, for Solim, complaining and pretending to be pitiful is really not suitable for people like Scrimgeois. His facial lines are too hard to give the impression of being tough, and his voice is firm and steady, and he doesn't express the feeling of pleading.

It's a better fit for a woman to do this kind of work, like Hermione here, but the girl didn't say a word at the moment, and Scrimgeour probably thought that the little girl who had just graduated could sit here and let Solim see that she had already done her job.

According to Scrimgeur, the Ministry of Magic is currently facing a lot of difficulties.

First and foremost is the issue of funding.

As we all know, the Ministry of Magic has basically no source of income - basically, not completely. But fines or rent collection alone can't cover their day-to-day expenses. Among other things, the consumption of parchment paper and fireplace powder alone is said to cost 500 Galleons a month.

In order to alleviate the cost, the Ministry of Magic has now deactivated half of the fireplace, and the parchment is written on the front side and on the reverse side. In short, save all the resources that can be saved and avoid waste.

Given the level of wages for the Ministry of Magic's (cdaj) staff, Scrimgeour couldn't stop that big hole no matter how much he throttled. For this reason, he even did something that previous ministers had never done and did not dare to do: he abolished all the Guangguo institutions that kept all kinds of idlers and related households, dismissed all the personnel, and strived to streamline the personnel and reduce financial expenditures.

But throttling can only alleviate the current financial predicament of the Ministry of Magic, and if we want to solve this problem completely, we must open source. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Because the cake of the wizarding world has long been divided, if the Ministry of Magic wants to open source in the wizarding world, it will inevitably offend people, and Scrimgeour and the Ministry of Magic can only focus on the Muggle side.

Even the Presbyterian Church has given a favorable policy: Gringotts will carry out a large currency exchange business. If Scrimgeour and the heads of the Ministry of Magic couldn't figure it out, they could all resign.

"Now is a very rare opportunity. Scrimgeour said: "Muggles don't know much about us, and we can use that to get more bang for our buck." At the same time, we can also act as a pioneer to fully demonstrate the pros and cons of cooperation. "

During this informal meeting, the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government had a verbal agreement on cooperation on the spot.

That's the Potions Showcase. []

The Ministry of Magic will be taking Muggle government inspectors to see the specific effects of potions and alchemy potions one by one. For example, the fast-acting hair growth agent that made the men present at the time excited, or the blood tonic and bone rejuvenating spirit that made the hearts of several ministers who studied medicine excited......

These were potions that could really change Muggle society in a short period of time. Even if they think not about the people, but only about their own political future, these ministers will not let go of this opportunity.

Muggles and the Ministry of Magic were a little impatient with each other, and if it weren't for the Elders in the middle, they would probably be eager to start talking about cooperation now. But it backfired, and the best they could do now was to negotiate an agreement.

Because they still had a lot of work to do: the Ministry of Magic was going to create a new Muggle Cooperation Division, and a new department had too much administrative work to do.

Not only that, but the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government had to form a committee, and the list of members would have to be divided within themselves.

The goblins of Gringotts are not easy to get along with, and although they have agreed to open a large currency exchange business under pressure from the Council of Elders, the cunning ones will certainly not honestly exchange Galleons for a pile of waste paper that they see as useless.

There is still a lot of work to be done to get bilateral cooperation on the right track, but the dilemma of the British Ministry of Magic is looming. Scrimgeour was eager to formally cooperate with the Muggle government, but for various reasons, he was desperate to no avail.

Unless there is a heavyweight who is willing to speak for them, let them skip all kinds of rules and regulations, and cooperate with the Muggle government in advance.

"I can try to help you, Mr. Minister. Solim whispered, "But what do I get?"
