Chapter 10 What’s the use of money?

"Really? As far as I know, the Weasley family is so poor that they can't even open the pot. However, the Weasley family has a total of 7 children in this generation. It can be said that if you look at the wizarding world in the world, you can't find anyone better than them. Do you still want to have a prosperous family?"

Thinking of the Weasley family, Bell thought of Ron, Harry's follower and good friend, and then he felt a little unhappy for no reason.

"And the Black family, one of the oldest pure-blood families in the UK, has an unknown amount of gold Galleons. However, the heir to the family, Sirius Black, was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban. It is estimated that it is impossible to have Descendants. The Crouch family, an ancient family with a long history, seems to be very wealthy. The patriarch of this generation, Barty Crouch, almost became the Minister of Magic. It can be said that he is powerful. He was powerful, but the family heir, Barty Crouch Jr., died in Azkaban. And Crouch Sr. had no intention of regenerating another one, so it can be regarded as being about to perish. "

Bell glanced at his father.

"So you said, why is Jin Gallon here?"

William didn't want to speak and cast a look for help to his wife Elena.

If he continued talking, William felt like he would become autistic. Can you imagine a 30-year-old middle-aged man being yelled at by a 5-year-old kid and being speechless? Now he just wants to drink a bottle of 1982 Lafite to soothe his inner trauma, and then sleep until tomorrow morning. I hope it won't leave a psychological shadow, otherwise he might not dare to talk to his son in the future.

Elena, who had been listening to the father and son chatting, was already stunned.

"Bell, why do you know these things? Which book did you read these words in?"

"You know, Mom. I used to stay in the bedroom and couldn't get out. After staying in one place for a long time, I would inevitably get bored, so I had to find something to do for myself. After I was tired from studying, I I often think about various things randomly, and over time, I gradually develop my own views on things."

"Oh, my poor Belle!"

Elena rushed over with tears in her eyes and held Belle tightly in her arms.

"It's okay, honey, you're free to go where you want."

"I'm fine, Mom." Bell said with difficulty, "But if you don't let go, something will happen to me. You're hugging me so tightly that I can't breathe!"

"Oh, sorry."

Elena apologized and quickly let go of Bell.

"You are right, honey, but what can we do? It is not easy to strengthen the family. The ancestors of the Menethil family have worked hard for hundreds of years to make Menethil what it is today."

William set his sights on Bell again, and he planned to make a good joke on Bell if Bell couldn't say anything later. He has been so petty and careless today, and no one can stop him!

As for what if Bell says a feasible way? If you can't think of a way, why don't you still find trouble? ?

"Take out the gold galleons and secretly train wizards who are loyal to the Menethil family. As far as I know, many wizards' lives are not very good. If you combine interests and favors, you can always recruit a few reliable ones. Is it for someone else? Don’t care how much it costs, the money is for you bastard, we’ll make it when it’s gone. And those wizards are worth far more than galleons.”

"You can go slower in the early stage, focus on stability, and try not to attract the attention of the outside world. Moreover, the most important point is to rather be lacking than to be indiscriminate. For the wizards of the family, loyalty is always the first priority. And on the basis of ensuring loyalty, we must Strict training must be carried out regularly, and at least the combat effectiveness cannot be lower than that of an Auror. We can set a small goal first, um... let's master the power that can overthrow the Ministry of Magic at any time."

William and Elena looked at Bell speechlessly. If you can overthrow the Ministry of Magic at any time, is that still a small goal? You know, even the 'Mysterious Man' failed to overthrow the Ministry of Magic when he was at his strongest! So what’s the big goal? Global domination?

"However, if there are too many people, it will be difficult not to attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic. The Ministry of Magic will definitely not allow this kind of behavior. And if there are only 1 or 2 people, it is meaningless." William asked.

Sure enough, Bell is still too young to notice such obvious problems. Let me teach you a lesson today. The reality is very cruel!

"Our family should have many properties, right?" Bell asked.

"Of course, our family's main industry is the manufacturing of magic stone statues, and wizard chess is a by-product of our family. And we have farms in many places around the world, which mainly produce magic materials used to make stone statues. In fact, in the wizarding world All industries are basically divided up by various pure-blood families."

"Then the question is simple."

Bell spread his hands.

"There are so many dark wizards these days, and some escaped Death Eaters are hiding somewhere, God knows where. So our factory must always be guarded, right? There are so many dangerous magical creatures in the breeding farm, and wild and difficult-to-train magical animals are coming every now and then. If there is any trouble, there must be wizards who are good at fighting to take care of it, right? Their work is so dangerous, and our family is so kind. We pay to help them train their spellcasting skills and ensure their life safety. No one can object, right? Who dares to object? Whose life counts! I can’t work during training, but it’s no good if there is no one to protect me. Is it normal to hire more wizards for shifts? Hiring twice as many people is called job needs, hiring three times as many people is called compassionate employees. Put those Those who are willing to stay loyal to the family, and those who are unwilling to dismiss, the Ministry of Magic cannot interfere with the normal flow of personnel, right? If you accumulate this little by little, in a few years, the number of people will increase. In the first stage, How about booking 100 people first?"

Both William and Elena were stunned, and William didn't even look for trouble.

Listen, what are these ideas? He obviously took advantage of him, yet he acted like he was great and selfless. He can come up with such insidious ideas. If he finds trouble again, what if Bell remembers it and tries to trick him in the future?

William felt that Bell must have followed his mother and not inherited any of his aboveboardness.

"Wait a minute."

William said, constantly rummaging in his pockets.

"Let me take a note and write it down."

In the end, the expansion plan of House Menethil was decided.

As the patriarch of an ancient pure-blood family, William's abilities have been very strong since he was a child. Many times it is just limited by the times and vision, so I don’t think too much about it. After Bell's reminder, a series of plans and precautions immediately appeared in William's mind, and he couldn't wait to implement them immediately.

William was excitedly perfecting his plan alone in the restaurant, while Belle had already been taken away by Elena.

"Bell, are you going to take a bath with your mother? Speaking of which, mother and son have not taken a bath together yet." Elena said happily.

"Mom!? I can take a bath by myself. And I can walk by myself. Let me go!"

Bell struggled hard, but to no avail.

"Little Belle is so shy! So cute! Haha."
