·
Chu Ni Fan Wan
Perhaps it was because of the deep impression on Aberforth last time, Sun Zhu saw him give them a look from a distance, feeling irritable and helpless, but luckily he didn't make a move to let the bartender chase them away.
"Dad said that he saw an acquaintance at the Financial Department yesterday - our acquaintance, Alexander Bosted. He heard me mention this person and was impressed by his last name." Sun Zhu sat on the window seat with empty hands. At the table, he watched Cedric frowning over a glass of firewhiskey.
"It's him, he became Uncle Sun's colleague?"
"Well, I'm new here, and I'm working in the Other Revenue Allocation Office of the Financial Secretary. This office was only established in the past few days..."
"Other income... deployment?" He tilted his head in doubt, "What a strange name, it feels very random... Cough cough, I mean, is there any special purpose?"
"Because of Mr. Nicole Flamel." Sun Zhu stared at the whiskey in front of him, picked up the quill he just bought, dipped it in the liquor, and wrote a few lines.
"Mr. LeMay donated part of his estate to the Ministry of Magic, requesting that it be used for the education expenses of Hogwarts and the medical expenses of St. Mungo's Hospital, supervised by Principal Dumbledore, and let Minister Burns choose worthy It is executed by someone you trust. But it is worth mentioning that since Mr. LeMay is over 600 years old, many of his properties were left somewhere in a certain country hundreds of years ago, so I can’t remember their specific quantity and status It can only be recalled by him and his wife, and the location and method of acquisition can be roughly given. As for whether there is a magic trap left in that place, and whether it is a large pile of gold or a nest of alive and kicking fire dragon cubs after opening... It is not sure. "
The writing on the table quickly faded, and the Pig's Head Bar was full of people talking. Although these may not be considered secrets - after all, it is difficult to completely hide the treasure hunt, but it is not convenient for them to talk about it with too much fanfare.
"So Burst is responsible for leading a team to take back the property donated by Mr. Flamel according to the instructions, and use it as a special expenditure for the Ministry of Magic?"
"Yes, but he is only a member of this team. It is said that those who participate in the treasure excavation are required to know multiple foreign languages. After all, Mr. LeMay has settled in many countries-he is French and graduated from Beauxbatons- You also need to be proficient in defense against the dark arts, spells, transfiguration, potions, and arithmetic divination, etc. Oh, and you must also understand Muggles... In short, the requirements are quite high, and there are some unforeseen dangers. It’s a lot of trouble, and the money I get doesn’t belong to me.”
Dad shared the news with her as soon as he knew the news, but he didn't want to see the bustling of Burst.He felt that it was necessary to get the money, and the people who could do the work were great, but he was worried that Minister Burns would not find so many trustworthy people.
As the designated supervisor, Principal Dumbledore recommended Alexander Burst. He said that he had great confidence in Alexander's character and ability, and he had promised him a long time ago that he would be given a job suitable for him belonging to the Ministry of Magic. work.
Minister Burns readily agreed, and it is said that she also liked Sirius——'s ability, and felt that he was also very suitable to go hunting for treasures together.
Sirius was very moved and rejected the job. He said that he loved everything about the Sports Department and couldn't imagine how to face life after leaving.He donated a large sum of money to Minister Burns to show his determination, and he also said that he intends to start preparing for the 422nd Quidditch World Cup now, and after Zhengxing Sun transfers and leaves, he will take up the responsibility of the Sports Department. girder.
Minister Burns accepted the money with regret, and he also took a fancy to many other trustworthy old pure-blooded family children.Some people gladly accepted the challenge, while others insulted Sirius while offering a similar amount of sincerity money.
"It's not clear which other members will participate, but I guess the principal has his own ideas. Even these gifts from Mr. Lemay are to support his old friend... In short, Mr. Lemay is very respectable. Senior."
Cedric nodded and looked out the window at the neatly repaired roads and shops: "There is no need to mention the importance of the Golden Galleons, but Mr. Flamel is the real 'Master of the Golden Galleons.'"
"However, Dad told me that if Mr. Flamel's estimates are correct, the amount he will donate is enough to run the Ministry of Magic for decades. The source of funds for the Ministry of Magic is a mystery, and the expenditure is also not very clear. "
"My father once mentioned that the annual expenditure of the Ministry of Magic is not complicated." Cedric tapped the wall of the wine glass lightly, with a little liquid on his fingertips, which looked crystal clear, "Three parts, staff salaries and bonuses, support contributions to Hogwarts and St Mungo's, regular maintenance and repairs to Diagon Alley and Azkaban at Hogsmeade."
Hogwarts does not charge tuition fees, nor does it even charge for accommodation and meals.However, the salary of the teaching staff, various teaching materials and props, as well as the maintenance and replacement of various hardware in the school, all need the support of the Ministry of Magic.
Students only need to bring their own textbooks, robes, and experimental equipment, and these are inseparable from subsidies from the Ministry of Magic.
Wizards born in poverty can get a special subsidy from Hogwarts, which is also provided by the Ministry of Magic; wizards born in Muggles need to take pounds to Gringotts to exchange for Galleons, which also requires the Ministry of Magic and goblins. It was resolved through communication; a wand of seven galleons is already a subsidized price from the Ministry of Magic—Mr. Ollivander insists on using the best raw materials, and some wands cost more than this amount for materials alone, let alone processing fee.If it weren't for the additional financial support from the Ministry of Magic, many young wizards would not be able to afford magic wands; the textbooks at Lihen Bookstore also offer certain discounts to Hogwarts students...
All of this applies to St. Mungo's.Although wizards who go there to see a doctor still need to pay a certain fee, many rare and expensive medicinal materials also need to be uniformly prepared by the Ministry of Magic.Aurors who were injured in the line of duty also provided free rescue at St. Mungo's... In short, with the joint efforts of many reliable ministers, the Ministry of Magic has made a lot of contributions to the orderly operation of the entire magical world.
But if he meets an unreliable minister like Fudge, or is controlled by Death Eaters, everything will go haywire.
However, no matter how wise Minister Burns is, some long-standing malpractices will gradually be revealed.
"Actually, there is another expenditure that should exist, but has never been realized by the wizards."
"What is it?"
"The house elves' reward."
