Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"Broken?" When Harry read the contents of Sirius' letter to Hermione, Hermione exclaimed in confusion, and then looked in disbelief at Tiera who was enjoying breakfast calmly aside -

"Tiera, do you know?" Hermione asked.

"Of course I know." Tiera picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth, and said elegantly, "How could I not know about the situation I created with my own hands?"

"What, what, what's going on?" Hermione asked doubtfully, her smart head seemed to shut down for a moment.

"Just like what was described in Sirius Black's letter, I am breaking down other social systems of the Ministry of Magic," Tiera said.

"But why are you doing this?" Hermione didn't understand and said a little angrily.

"Defeating the Magical United Army allowed me to penetrate their government functions, and the "Trade Act" allowed me to penetrate their social system." Tiera said with a smile, "Because of the defeat of the Magical United Army, their The government has lost credibility and control over the wizarding public."

"Then I immediately proposed the "Trade and Exchange Bill". Through this bill, I can harvest the same gold Galleons as the sea I got from Gringotts, and harvest the potions, magic items, and materials used in their country to support the entire magical society. Refining their raw materials.”

"If their Ministry of Magic still retains its previous dominance and credibility, then it will definitely impose restrictions on my purchasing and looting behaviors. After all, whether it is gold Galleons, Silver Thickes, or Copper Nuts, although they have currency properties, But their value is still mainly reflected in their purchasing power, which means that the reason why gold galleons are valuable is because we know that gold galleons can buy a lot of the materials we need."

"But when there is an extreme shortage of supplies... just like what Sirius said in his letter, those shining gold galleons are as meaningless as beautiful commemorative badges." Tiera said.

"Then...then if their Ministry of Magic doesn't form a magic coalition to attack us, will the result be better?" Hermione analyzed, "After all, if they don't fight you, then their credibility and dominance will still be there. , this situation can still be controlled to a certain extent.”

"It's useless, this war must be fought." Tiera smiled helplessly, "From the moment I got a large amount of Gold Galleons from Gringotts, this war was bound to happen. This war is inevitable."

"Or in other words... ever since I got Gringotts' Gold Galleons, I have controlled the economic lifeline of the entire magical world, and they are completely at a disadvantage." Tiera explained, "If They choose not to fight this war, of course, and there is no need to sign the "Acts of Commerce". Then this war becomes an economic war and a secret magic contest... If there is no way to trade head-on, then I will smuggle. , anyway, it’s me who holds a large amount of gold galleons, how can the Ministry of Magic control the greed of their people when they control the world?”

"To put it bluntly, in the final analysis, smuggling tests the magical ability of both parties. It is still a confrontation of magical power. Can they stop me and prevent me from going to them? Can I break through their obstruction and find someone to smuggle? ." Tiera said, "As long as their magic ability is not as good as mine, and as long as they can't stop me, then relying on the massive gold coins I hold will ultimately be a devastating blow to their wizard society."

"What if they don't sell it?" Hermione asked, then suddenly froze, and asked even more doubtfully, "Why should they sell it?"

"Why don't they sell it?" Tiera asked.

"I...I mean...how could any of them see through your plot..." Hermione asked.

"I don't call this a conspiracy... I call it an honest conspiracy." Tiera said, "I have money, I have plenty of money."

"I'll spend five gold galleons to buy you a bottle of five centimeters of fresh white potion, will you sell it?" Tiera asked, "No, then I'll offer you ten gold galleons, will you sell it? Not yet, Then I’ll bid fifty.”

"Okay, if you don't want to sell it, then okay, I'll find someone else to sell it to someone else for fifty gold galleons?" Tiera asked, "You have to know that not all the magic world is like this. There are wealthy wizards like Sirius, and there are many greedy people like Mundungus."

"Aren't you jealous when you see others making a lot of money selling resources? Aren't you moved?" Tiera asked, "A rational person can only be rational for a moment or three, and will soon be deceived by the carnival crowd. Coerced."

"Because the Magical World is too small, it has not developed a mature political, economic and military system. Most of their so-called strategies and so-called political struggles are too simple and reveal a sense of childish self-righteousness." Tiera said, "Gellert Grindelwald once built a good political and military system, but unfortunately he failed, and the more advanced system he brought was also labeled as heresy. From then on, , the wizarding world is running wildly on the road of self-destruction."

"So once I have mastered such a huge amount of funds, the outcome of the matter has already been decided." Tiera said, "Unless they have the strength to defeat me and snatch the funds from me. Go, otherwise..."

"Fight, they lost. Accept my "Trade Agreement". They must accept my transaction of gold galleons in exchange for magic resources. Without the local official strength to stop me, I can plunder the local area as quickly as possible. The magical resources in the pockets of the people, but at the same time, because of the war between the Magical United Army and the unprecedented unity of local official forces, the local Ministry of Magic still retains a certain amount of magical resources."

"If we don't fight, they will be even worse. They have no ability to stop my smuggling. In this case, it may be slower for me to search for the magic resources in the pockets of the people's wizards. But at the same time, because I have not experienced a war, the Ministry of Magic is still A plate of half-scattered sand, and under the temptation of the huge gold galleons, several pure-blood families within the local Ministry of Magic, or the plutocrats and oligarchs will order a ban on the public selling these resources, and then... they themselves will make this huge profit. When the business is brought in, due to the uneven distribution of the spoils within the Ministry of Magic, each other will be able to beat each other's heads. At the same time, with the gradual reduction of magic resources, the lives of local people and wizards will be affected, and they will gradually become dissatisfied. The outcome will either be when the Ministry of Magic completely becomes a comprador government, or the great dissatisfaction of the local wizarding people will be ignited, turmoil will occur, and the old Ministry of Magic will be overthrown."
