Chapter 6 Let's Build a State
The next morning, Phoenix ate his breakfast sleepily. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info behind him was full of letters, and the owl had not broken since he sat down.
Most of the letters were sent by family members, and when they knew that Phoenix really planned to marry Hermione, they immediately exploded. Some are against, some are in favor.
There are more good reasons for those who are in favor than those who are against. Those in favor generally agreed that marrying a Muggle-born wife would be the best option when secrecy laws were about to be repealed.
In the 5th century AD, the Jiang family in East Asia privately discussed with Peverell that sorcerers should establish their own state. At that time, many factors could not be resolved, and the motion was not discussed in private.
The main factor is that the state established by the wizards is difficult to stabilize. A dark wizard may have turned the country upside down, and at that time, the mainstream idea of wizards was still to serve the king, and everyone had just completed the integration of the bank, so they really didn't have the strength to carry out this very tempting plan.
The difference in power between wizards and Muggles also led to the inability to directly choose the Muggle system, requiring wizards to think of a completely new system.
Generally speaking, an unarmed Muggle must listen to a Muggle with a sharp blade. If the number of opponents is further increased, ten Muggle soldiers will be able to control fifty Muggle civilians, so that the national executive orders, laws, etc. can be effectively enforced.
Wizards can't, not to mention the advantages of wandless casting. Even if the government wizards had some advantages, there was no guarantee that ten wizards would be able to control fifty wizards - almost impossible, to be exact. If the Ministry of Modern Magic were to arrest a wizard, it would have to use twice or three times as many law enforcement officers.
In this way, the government is extremely large, but the citizens are very few. In this way, the social order of the wizarding country can be guaranteed, otherwise the country will definitely be chaotic, and some people will break the law, but the government will not be able to do anything.
This is not the case with the modern Ministry of Magic because the Ministry of Magic does not care about leaks or not. As long as it doesn't violate the law of secrecy, the Ministry of Magic will try to ignore anything. Your father was killed by the next-door neighbor, did any Muggles see it? Is there a danger of leaking magic? No!
It's okay to go to the Wizengamot, but the Wizengamot is just the trial and the legislature. Whoever you are going to sue and tie up the defendant yourself in court, the Wizengamot will usually drag you for a year and a half. There is no way, the murder is a violation of the Wizengamot Charter, but the charter does not say how the murderer should be sentenced, a sentence of several years or a fine.
Then let's have a meeting to discuss, and the time is uncertain. In addition, relationships such as interpersonal relationships and monetary interests began to emerge, and in the end, as a result of the trial, not much justice was served.
The Ministry of Magic has saved effort this time, violating the law of secrecy is usually not a felony, a fine of money, and a two-day prison will come, and everyone will generally not resist law enforcement officers.
This is one of the difficulties, and there are many similar ones. The matter of the establishment of the wizard country is gone, but it doesn't matter, as long as there are interests, everyone will persevere in overcoming difficulties and eating the benefits, and the high-level leaders of the wizarding world have never given up this idea.
As a result, East Asian wizards began to hide from the world, no longer interfering with Muggle affairs, and forbidding wizards in their sphere of influence to meddle in Muggle affairs. Taking advantage of the natural geography of East Asia, he was isolated from the rest of the world, and as an observer, he began to observe the workings of the Muggle government.
For various reasons, Peverell did not begin until after the signing of the Secrecy Act. There were also many people in the family who supported this view, believing that after the wizards established the country, Muggles were in a dominant position, and that the patriarch's wife, who was Muggle-born, was a good target for political propaganda.
When Phoenix learned what they were thinking, he was extremely annoyed. Because in his plan, after the international conference, he can fully enjoy the luxury of the patriarch's power, and spend all day being lavitable. The affairs managed by the patriarch can be delegated to the heads of all aspects of the family, and it is good to hold regular meetings twice a year to let him know the overall situation.
There is nothing better than enjoying the rotten life brought about by power, and not having to bear the heavy affairs that power brings.
For wizarding statehood, Phoenix is clearly opposed. At least, he would never agree to it if there was no guarantee that he would enjoy the fun.
Therefore, since he made his views clear, the people who supported the founding of the country began to write to him to explain that the political system they had chosen would definitely guarantee that Phoenix would indulge in pleasure.
Today, not the most letters have been received. But no matter how many letters, no matter how detailed the elaboration, Phoenix will not easily believe that the system of a country is so complex, it is easy for them to hide it a little. He was to study for himself the Muggle system - what they called the invented system, a variant of the system of most Muggles.
By the way, also look into the means of countering Muggles. It would be nice if the two worlds could be peacefully integrated, but if not, then it would be a matter of success or failure.
"What's wrong with your family? Draco fished an envelope more than an inch thick from the porridge.
"You accompany me to Muggle studies and I'll tell you. Phoenix laughed.
"Why did you suddenly want to take Muggle studies classes?" Rogge said curiously, "You could ask me, Hermione, or Malcolm. ”
"You just know the Muggle way of life, if I know it more completely. "You know what? Malcolm only knows astronomy - and he doesn't need to learn from Muggles." Hermione knew a little more, but it was only common sense or basics. Don't mention it, last time I asked you, what is a computer, you lied to me that it was a medical device. ”
"Ha, I didn't realize it - I didn't react for a moment in the wizarding world. He said awkwardly.
"Then you can't say, don't know. Phoenix took a hateful bite of the sausage.
"He's learning from you, even if you're wrong, try your best to cover up the past. Malcolm said with a grin.
Phoenix was just about to retort when he was shoved from behind.
"Aren't you going to Muggle studies class?" said Hermione, puffingly, "you're almost late. ”
Glancing up at my watch, it was.
"Damn, next time on board, I'm going to have Professor McGonagall move classes to the afternoon. Phoenix hurriedly took two sips of porridge, "Let's go first." ”
At the door, I met Philip, who was going to the library.
"I forgot, you're the actual school manager. "Seventh grade is great, there is no fixed curriculum, all electives. You're the only one who has added lessons to yourself, so you probably have your eye on some chick studying Muggle studies. ”
"Please," Phoenix noticed that everyone was particularly curious about his sudden study of Muggle Studies, although after the war, all Hogwarts students were curious, "I was the only one in the seventh year who took Muggle Studies. ”
"Yes. Philip turned into the shortcut on the fifth floor and said, "In the evening, in that classroom, I have an idea to tell you." See you then. ”
"Okay, see you then. ”
