Chinese students at Hogwarts

Lucius put down the phone. At this moment, he only had deep doubts and confusion in his heart, and soon he thought of a possibility.

A possibility that made his skin stand on end.

After calming down, Lucius solemnly took out a yellow talisman folded into a triangle from his arms and lit it according to his previous instructions.

At the foot of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Chengdao, who was packing his things, stopped moving.

She turned to Li Qingshu and said, "Madam, Lucius has contacted me. I'm going to see what's going on."

After leaving the courtyard gate, Master Shaotian looked in the right direction and took a step into the void. With just one step, he seemed to have walked into the void. When he reappeared, he had arrived at the Flying Immortal Platform of Shanglonghu Mountain a few miles away.

It was Shuchi Chengsun who Zhang Xiao called "ultra-long distance flash".

Zhang Chengdao walked out of Feixian Terrace, found a secluded place, and then took out his satellite phone.

You can't use mobile phones on Longhu Mountain. If you want to make calls, you can only come to Longhu Mountain in the secular world. This is considered a no-brainer.

The call was connected quickly, almost as soon as the call was dialed. Lucius seemed to be in a hurry.

Zhang Chengdao thought thoughtfully.

Sure enough, after answering the phone, Lucius dropped a 'bombshell'.

"What? Fudge wants to ban trade between the East and the West? And make it the exclusive domain of the Ministry of Magic?"

Zhang Chengdao:

Just this little thing?

Lucius said worriedly:

"Yes, the news we have learned now was deliberately leaked by the Ministry of Magic, leaving us time to react and negotiate.

Now people in the UK are waiting for news from us. "

Zhang Chengdao was silent for a moment, but still couldn't hold it back and asked curiously:

"Can the Ministry of Magic ban it? It's not just trading in the UK, but the UK also controls other countries?"

"It can't be banned - but it can affect it." Lucius' tone was a little helpless, and he said in a low voice: "The Ministry of Magic has never thought of banning this transaction.

But the problem is that the Ministry of Magic can label anything that comes from the East as illegal, thus turning it into a ticking time bomb.

Mr. Zhang, do you understand what I say? "

Zhang Chengdao said 'hmm' and asked strangely: "You can't get the Ministry of Magic to remove this order even if you join forces?"

When they cooperated before, these purebloods behaved as if they were shadow ministers and underground kings. But now it's just that the Ministry of Magic is about to issue an order, and they can't do it?

After Lucius's detailed explanation, Zhang Chengdao roughly understood what happened.

In the final analysis, it was still because of Voldemort.

Because of his 'incompetent' son, the pure-bloods had actually split. In the past, they had maintained a decent reputation, but after Master Zhang Shaotian did this, the pure-bloods began to take sides.

It’s not like there aren’t those who want to sit on the wall and see which way the wind is blowing.

But in the secret battle between the two sides, the first thing to disappear was the loser. Excluding those families who have always been neutral and did not want to participate, the balance of power between the purebloods was about 6:1:3.

It can only be said that the advantages are huge.

After more than two years of continuous suppression and encroachment, those extreme purebloods kept shrinking and saw a score of 7:2.

But at this time, an event broke out that changed the situation-the collective escape from Azkaban.

Because the prison escape incident directly announced the resurgence of Voldemort's power, coupled with the vicious events that broke out at Hogwarts for two consecutive years, it showed that Voldemort was not dead, maybe in a very bad state, but not dead means not dead.

This immediately caused panic among a large number of purebloods. They were not afraid of Fudge or the Ministry of Magic, but they were afraid of Voldemort.

Because Voldemort really knows how to kill.

After a series of betrayals and complex activities of taking sides.

At this moment, the strength of both sides is equal, or Zhang Xiao's side is slightly weaker.

It can only be said that Dumbledore's influence is indeed strong. He has publicly expressed his praise and optimism for the enlightened pure-bloods many times.

In addition, Voldemort is still invisible, and most importantly - Lucius Malfoy would rather run to China than return to the extreme camp, which gives the enlightened pure-blood great confidence.

Even that old fox Lucius didn't defect, so why are we running away?

The generous amount of golden Galleons really smells good.

So purebloods never worry about the Ministry of Magic, they fear Voldemort.

Zhang Chengdao listened quietly to Lucius' explanation of the reason, and said calmly:

"So what you're saying is that this decree issued by the Ministry of Magic was actually produced by Voldemort's instructions to the ultra-pure bloods?"

Lucius heard Voldemort on the other side of the phone, and his heart stopped for a beat. He hadn't heard anyone say this name for a long time.

Trying hard to calm down the fear in his heart, Lucius whispered:

"I'm afraid so. If we simply ban trade between the East and the West, it would be just another stupid thing done by the Ministry of Magic.

The key is the second one -" Lucius swallowed: "Specialized by the Ministry of Magic -"

"Oh" Zhang Chengdao understood. It's a franchise. It's not new. He knows everything.

"It seems that you already understand that the Ministry of Magic's franchise is a feast open to some people. In fact, the Ministry of Magic only controls one business, and that is Floo fans.

We have reason to believe that these are those - those Voldemort's lackeys who are causing trouble behind the scenes.

In other words, Fudge is probably already the other party's person. "

Lucius felt guilty when he said 'Voldemort's lackey', and he felt the Dark Mark on his arm was getting hot.

It turns out that this is the case. The relationship is actually not complicated. Zhang Chengdao touched his chin. In fact, Fudge or the extreme pureblood made a mistake.

They thought that Dongfang was greedy for the huge profits in this area, and they were sure that Daomen would not want to part with this business.

In fact, Daomen didn't want to do this business at all, and he had no interest in going abroad to make money. The reason why he came up with this East-West trade was.

There is only one reason.

That's what little Heavenly Master Zhang Xiao needs. Because Zhang Xiao wants to change Slytherin, the Taoist sect helps him unite the majority and release a piece of fat.

What kind of treatment is this? Zhang Chengdao's eyes turned red with envy.

I have never been treated like this by a Taoist sect, and the Taoist sect knows everything about whatever I want to do.

That is to say, that kid Xiaoxiao is ignorant and doesn't know how big his face is.

It can only be said that Fuji and the gang of extremely pure-blooded people made mistakes and made mistakes. Zhang Chengdao had a headache.

If this business was simply thrown away, it wouldn't matter to Daomen, but it would be a bit difficult for Zhang Xiao.

Because the entire alliance is actually based on interests, it is expected that these purebloods will unite for some ideal. It is possible for one or two families, such as the Longbottom family, but most of them will not tell you any ideals.

They only recognize family and interests.

I thought that so many purebloods united to be able to resist any external factors.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The extreme purebloods were so suppressed before that they did not even dare to mention that they wanted to seize the trade between the East and the West.

But as soon as Voldemort appeared, those extreme purebloods seemed to have found a backer, and they turned around in an instant. The change was so big.

After thinking about it again and again, Zhang Chengdao decided to ask his son's opinion.

"Okay, I get it, okay, that's it."

Zhang Xiao hung on the horizontal bar with the strength of his legs and put away the telescope in his hand. His father brought bad news.

I know much better than my father about the virtues of purebloods.

To be honest, it was beyond Zhang Xiao's expectation that so many purebloods could stick around after Voldemort resurrected.

He originally thought it would be good if 30% could stay.

But it’s hard to say how many of those who remain are undercover agents.

It's okay to make fun of Voldemort, but it's not okay to look down on Tom's intimidation and hard power.

As one of the pinnacles of power, Voldemort's power still has its cards. With it, the extreme purebloods are indeed confident.

Zhang Xiao jumped off the horizontal bar with his upper body bare. The sweat beads condensed together as they rolled down, leaving behind a trail of water stains.

Zhang Xiao opened the bathroom door, lay comfortably on his back in the pool, and began to think about how to deal with the Ministry of Magic's move next.

I have to say that those purebloods picked a very good time.

The situation is complicated, but in terms of complexity, it is only at the ‘level’ of tens of thousands of people.

Relying on his years of experience in political affairs in his previous life, he was still able to understand things clearly when he obtained enough information.

The original source should be that his conversation with Dumbledore gave Dumbledore new ideas.

The Headmaster, who originally dominated the West and was invincible in the world, adopted a policy of appeasement when it came to the Ministry of Magic. He only had to compromise.

As a result, Fudge became more and more arrogant, and even dared to send dementors directly to the campus, which indirectly contributed to Fudge's refusal to admit that Voldemort had returned, and imagined that Dumbledore was trying to seize his position as minister.

If Fudge had made a decisive decision to prepare for the war immediately after the Goblet of Fire ended, the situation would not have developed into what it was later.

This was also the main reason why I tried to persuade Dumbledore not to compromise like this.

Dumbledore listened and became acquainted. Lucius told himself that when Fudge wanted to interrogate Hagrid, Dumbledore almost took action.

Fudge was frightened and took the wrong path in the original book in advance, which was where Dumbledore wanted to be.

How could Fudge, who had just tasted the taste of power, endure it?

The original favorite was Barty Crouch, who was not favored by others. It was only the Longbottom case that cost Barty Crouch the opportunity that Fudge took over.

He has never enjoyed the feeling of being praised!

Power turns out to be so wonderful!

Then it became more and more serious, how could the 'awakened' Dumbledore let Fudge do whatever he wanted, after the dementor 'happened' to pass by the Hogholtz Express.

Fudge finally hit Dumbledore's bottom line - don't involve his students.

So Dumbledore decided to give Fudge a warning, which was impeachment.

In fact, Zhang Xiao felt that it would be better not to warn him at all. Simply changing the minister would be the best option. Both Scrimgeour and Barty Crouch were a hundred times more reliable than Fudge.

But Dumbledore is still the Dumbledore who follows the rules.

He could only give a warning about the dementor incident, but he couldn't directly change the minister.

But this impeachment frightened Fudge. He thought Dumbledore was serious, so in order to keep his power, he could only choose one side to side with. So who?

It's impossible to side with Zhang Xiao. Who doesn't know that this international student from China is Dumbledore's "favorite student"?

Since the liberal purebloods cannot take sides, there is only one answer, and that is the extreme purebloods.

Zhang Xiao went through the whole thing in his mind and sighed softly.

After all, those extreme purebloods are nothing but troublemakers. They don't dare to fight openly and openly, so they hide behind Fudge and secretly cause trouble.

Even if something goes wrong, it's Fudge who will be blamed. What is this if it's not a stir-up?

Bah, bah, bah, I'm not that stupid thing!

Zhang Xiao buried his head in the water and felt the tranquility brought by being surrounded by water - this was a way of relaxing and thinking that he liked very much.

So how do I break the situation?

Dad seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't say anything and instead posed the problem to himself.

Is it a small test?

Well. First of all, it is the trade model between the East and the West. The first thing that Daomen opens to the West is various raw materials and the like. The finished products are mainly high-end handicrafts.

For example, beautiful palace lanterns, decorations, high-end clothing - don't underestimate these things, these finished products are luxury goods and the like, and they are very profitable.

And the raw materials are even worse. The wizarding world is so solid that if you want to promote the development of all walks of life, the best thing is to have new materials.

New materials from the East have given great impetus to many industries such as potions and alchemy.

A lot of new things have come out in the past two years, and this is the change brought about by the East.

If this is the case, then Daomen has a total trade surplus with the West, but what is the use of Daomen's gold galleons?

In addition to keeping what was necessary, Daomen simply spent the galleons and exchanged them for things to take back, such as broomsticks, alchemy products, and magic potions.

It was just a fresh idea, and I wanted to see if the stone from another mountain could attack jade.

So who earned the Galleons of Daomenhua?

The answer is - a pure blood who cooperates with Taoism!

So those purebloods actually made money twice, which is the main reason why they would rather take the risk than leave!

Huge profits!

When Zhang Xiao emerged from the water, he suddenly laughed in annoyance. Isn't the answer quite simple?

Yes, the Ministry of Magic is the United States in the wizarding world. It has the ability to influence the entire wizarding world and is the center of the wizarding world. That's why Fudge is so greedy for power.

But can he influence the East?

What do purebloods want? It's Galleons! Instead of goods!

So it is enough to have a venue where both parties can trade. The raw materials can be processed directly there, and the goods brought can also be delivered directly.

It's that simple, all it takes is an offshore settlement center.

Don’t even think about the location – Xiangjiang!

After getting dressed slowly, Zhang Xiao had already put aside the problem he had just figured out.

Now I have more important things to do.

Look at the diary spread out in front of you.

Then it’s time to delve into black magic!
