When the activists of a certain class or stratum in society are organized in a planned way to achieve a certain goal, when the society recognizes that the organization has the legitimate power to organize and expand its ideas, and when it also actively participates in political life and plays its role in obtaining or maintaining political power or influencing the exercise of political power, the organization becomes a political party.

Although Voldemort only formed the Death Eaters with the intention of recruiting a group of men for himself, rather than forming a political party to participate in politics, and the wizarding society has no tradition of engaging in party politics. However, as Voldemort's henchmen gathered more and more wizards who shared his ideas, and finally conquered the Ministry of Magic and began to rule parts of the wizarding world, the Death Eaters naturally became a partisan organization.

The first to spot this trend was Lucius Malfoy. Blessed with sugar cane, he was one of the few wizards in the Death Eaters and even the British wizarding world to "open his eyes to the world". He vaguely felt that the key to determining the future rise and fall of the Malfoy family might be this.

When he reported this discovery to the Death Eaters at a regular meeting and made a report on strengthening the Death Eater organization, the rest of the Death Eaters, with the exception of Snape, took his report as a joke. Snape wore a dead man's face all day long, and the other Death Eaters didn't know if he was crying or laughing.

Because in the eyes of the core Death Eaters, those budding Death Eaters are cannon fodder who can be sacrificed at will to achieve their own goals, and uniting them is the same thing as uniting house-elves. They themselves were all unruly people, and if Voldemort hadn't been on their heads, they would have fought first.

Muggle things like political parties don't seem to them to be as effective as a wand in their hands.

For a time, Malfoy became the target of ridicule from the Death Eaters.

Voldemort, who didn't understand what Malfoy meant, stopped the others from making fun of Malfoy, but in order not to discourage his right-hand man, Voldemort let him watch it himself and start the next meeting.

Any mature political party represents the interests of a group, and this interest group and political party will form a community of interests in economy and power.

After some careful consideration, Lao Ma took the opportunity to help Voldemort win allies and began to contact the family with the most capital in British magical society.

When Bentley asked Malfoy what the Dark Lord wanted them to do, Malfoy didn't answer the question directly, but asked the crowd, "Guys, do you want to expand your market by a hundredfold?" ”

If this is said to be an ordinary wizard, everyone here will take this sentence as a polite remark. But now it's Lucius Malfoy who is saying this, and behind him stands the Dark Lord Voldemort, which has to be carefully considered.

The first thing they thought of was the European continent across the Channel, the area of Europe was about forty times the size of Britain, and the wizards were more than ten times the size of Britain, if Voldemort could lead them across the Channel and occupy all of Europe, then the benefits of the European continent market would be enough for them to abandon everything and follow Voldemort.

And there is a continent called Africa in the south of Europe, and if Voldemort can conquer this place, it is not impossible for them to write a persuasion to support Emperor Voldemort and become a great treasure.

For a while, the name "The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets" appeared in everyone's minds.

As soon as there is a proper profit, capital is emboldened. Faced with such a huge profit, they could sell the ropes that hanged themselves, and they also had free shipping, let alone tie them to Voldemort's chariot.

As for the Hogsmeade regime in the far north, it was not a matter in their eyes.

As pure-blood families who discriminated against Muggles, everyone here was very disgusted by the Hogsmeade regime and the Muggle government's alliance, and some families even threw themselves into the Voldemort regime in London from the beginning, which made the Hogsmeade regime feel very uncomfortable.

So at first, the Hogsmeade regime had to compromise with these families, who had a lot of capital, to ensure that they would not use Muggle weapons against wizards on a large scale. This is because before the start of school, Zhang said that if an artillery company comes, he can leave work early today.

Malfoy sat on the couch and took a sip of a cup of black tea, quietly watching the group of capital tycoons there with their heads bowed and thinking, or whispering their words to each other.

The pie is drawn first, as for what kind of filling this pie is, what to do depends on their own understanding, in case they understand it wrongly it is their problem, anyway, the final interpretation is in their own hands.

The matriarch of the Vercombe family, the largest potions manufacturer in the United Kingdom, was the first to stand up, he came to Malfoy's front and saluted, and then said, "Please tell Your Excellency the Dark Lord that the Vercombe family will stop selling all potions to Hogsmeade today, and stop selling all potions to anyone who operates anywhere outside Diagon Alley." ”

Vercombe's decision tickled the itch right on Voldemort's regime.

Since the merchants in Diagon Alley moved north, there are many people in Diagon Alley except for Gringotts, and the tax collected there is not enough to pay for the lighting fees of the Ministry of Pseudo-Magic.

If these manufacturers could only supply the shops in Diagon Alley, as the Wellcomb family did, then most of the merchants who sold would have to obediently return to Diagon Alley to open their doors. In this way, the economy of Diagon Alley can at least be restored to a high level, and then the tax revenue of the Ministry of Pseudo-Magic can be greatly increased.

Malfoy expressed his sincere gratitude to the Wellcombe family for their overtures.

Subsequently, the Smith family, a large herb grower, and others also made the same commitment as the Wellcomb family.

However, neither group mentioned the matter of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Illnesses, nor did Malfoy give any hint in this regard. After all, St. Mungo's prestige and importance among English wizards is too high, and it is best to maintain the status quo.

With these two important families taking the lead, the rest of the families operating everything from crucibles to parchment have responded to the call of the Ministry of Magic to distance themselves from the Hogsmeade authorities and return to the capital family of Diagon Alley.

Malfoy then said to Bentley, who represented the broomstick industry, "Next, we can temporarily import flying carpets from India and the Weasleys for a battle in the mall. By the time the Weasleys went bankrupt, the flying carpet continued to be a prohibited commodity. ”

Draco Malfoy, as the representative of the old horse, had already reached an agreement with Bentley, and now he is only here to make the cooperation plan public. Because banning the import of Indian flying carpets has been hyped up as a politically correct thing in British magical society, and if you don't talk to your allies first, this immature alliance will collapse from the inside.

So Bentley just nodded and didn't say much.

After everyone had made their statements, Evans, who was making the crucible, asked, "So, can Your Excellency the Minister solve the food problem for us?" ”

As soon as Evans's problem came out, Malfoy, a former grain seller, was in the limelight.

One of the great tools used by the Hogsmeade regime to win over the pure-blood families was the sale of grain.

Previously, the Ministry of Magic purchased food from the British government and sold it to pure-blood families who were completely cut off from ordinary society.

Now that the Malfoys have defected, the Hogsmeade regime, which has been recognized by the British government, has re-selected agents to sell grain to wizards who support their side.

That's why these pure-blood families were at odds with the Hogsmeade regime in the first place.

Now that they have decided to fully support Voldemort's regime, it is no longer possible to buy the food sold by the Hogsmeade regime. Therefore, the food problem has become an important problem for them to face next, after all, wizards can not use magic, but they can't skip food.

"You don't have to worry." Malfoy said confidently, "Tomorrow the Malfoy family will have a large amount of grain open for sale, and you will have no problem even if you buy twice as much grain as before." ”

After receiving Malfoy's assurance and seeing his confident appearance, the uneasiness in the hearts of everyone present eased slightly.

To reassure them, Malfoy continued: "I contacted the Kakir family on the American side before that, and they agreed to sell us enough food. ”

Now the people who were worried about hunger finally breathed a sigh of relief. They also have an understanding of the American magical society, and the Kakiel brothers, whose ancestral roots in Scotland, started the grain business in the United States more than a hundred years ago and are now the largest producers of grain in the American magical society. Although the second-hand dealers Malfoy family used to be a local tyrant in the UK, they were simply weak chickens in front of the Cakiel family.

With the food problem solved, the main task of today's gathering at Smith Manor was successfully accomplished.

Malfoy began to make initial contact with various capital forces on behalf of Voldemort, and solved their food problems.

And these families of capital began to make limited investments in Voldemort. Their first investment is to restore the economic activity in Diagon Alley, and if Voldemort can eliminate the Hogsmeade regime and unify the magical society in a short period of time, then they will definitely increase their investment in Voldemort.

After all, even Voldemort wouldn't believe that they would support him unreservedly in the first place, and a good start would be half the battle.

For Malfoy's personal interests, sacrificing a little of the interests of the Malfoy family to get the opportunity to do business with the American Carkiel family, and then using it to help various capital tycoons solve problems, this is a deal that cannot be lost no matter how you look at it.
