The Ministry of Magic does not have a separate treasury department, only a goblin liaison office.

Not all the ministers of magic have ever thought of taking back the economic power of the wizarding world from the elves, but most of them, after one or two attempts, wisely halted the reforms and reactivated the elves of Gringotts.

On the one hand, this is due to the lack of corresponding talents and guidance in numbers, finance, and interest rates, even if the wizards forcibly take over the Gringotts Wizard Bank, it will be difficult to continue to maintain a normal socio-economic system with the elves completely gone;

On the other hand, the main reason is that the goblins in Gringotts are really "very useful".

With the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, the wizards of the Ministry of Magic do not have to think about the complicated and complicated payment of salaries, and the monthly salary and remuneration will automatically appear in the coffers of each official, and senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, such as Cornelius Fudge and Dolores Umbridge, will have some extra small gold coins compared to the published salary figures.

Even most of the expenses for the activities, as well as the daily maintenance costs, are mostly borne by Gringotts, as long as they do not directly ask for gold from Gringotts, the elves are quite obedient to the orders of the Minister of Magic.

Of course, every Minister of Magic will not be too persecutive to Gringotts, after all, whether it is their own savings or some gray income, those goblins must have secretly registered a ledger, and the goblins also strictly abide by their professional ethics, no matter how the regime changes, they will not leak and open customer data to the outside world.

Over time, the balance between the Ministry of Magic and the Gringotts Wizarding Bank slowly stabilized.

The daily work of the Elven Liaison Office is to represent the Ministry of Magic, ask Gringotts for a budget or negotiate a salary increase, and give back to the Ministry of Magic Gringotts' news and demands, and evaluate whether Gringotts continues to be a wizard and whether the request is reasonable.

"Gringotts...... The news is very tightly blocked, and I have only heard that there seems to be an internal clean......"

Mokridge, who was the head of the Elven Liaison Office, thought for a moment and shook his head.

"It's hard to know exactly why, but it's related to Gringotts' recent failed investment in the former Soviet Union and the goblins of the Gringotts division in the United States some time ago declaring independence. Most of the goblins on the European side have suffered a little bit in the internal strife this time, so they have removed some of the people who are not doing well, right?"

"Removed? I guess it was a secret execution. I'm not surprised that greedy creatures with a thirst for money are killing each other for the sake of the Golden Galleons...... Some time ago, they even asked our Ministry of Magic to help suppress it on a whim, but I guess they panicked this time......"

"The wizards of the Ministry of Magic intervened in the goblin civil war, hmph, that is to hope to tie the entire British Ministry of Magic to the chariot of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, idiots know what the outcome will be, the ministries of magic of various countries and the International Council of Magic may unite to deal with the British Ministry of Magic as soon as possible, even now, we are in an awkward position in the world. ”

Cornelius Fudge snorted coldly, a gloomy look on his face.

"And even if we could agree, there would be no way to explain why the wizard had become a mercenary for the elves, and on the first day the contract was signed, we would be ousted by the enraged Pureblood Clans. The goblin thing, the goblin figure it out themselves. ”

"But...... Recently, there have been some strange rumors in society. ”

At this moment, John Dlux frowned and took the initiative to speak.

As the deputy director of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, his role is actually a halfway between the secret police and the police, and in addition to fighting crime as the armed force of the Ministry of Magic, part of his job is to monitor all kinds of rumors and signs of danger.

"Huh, about what?"

Cornelius Fudge turned his head to look at his right-hand man and shook his head half-jokingly.

"If it's a mysterious person who is about to recover, it's better for everyone to take more money and keep it at home, then don't pay attention to it, such boring rumors won't even write "New Singing and Singing", and it will naturally stop after a while. ”

"It's not this, it's the Gringotts goblins lately. ”

John Dlux shook his head and said with some confusion.

"Since some time ago, many members of pure-blood families have been required to make an appointment in advance or make some additional financial investment recommendations when they go to the bank to withdraw money, which is different from the efficiency of Gringotts in the past. There are rumors that Gringotts has a problem with its funds, and in short, even simple deposits and withdrawals will be slower than usual in the past two days. ”

"Even ......"

As he spoke, John Dlux glanced at Mokridge, who had a slightly uneasy look, turned his head to look at Minister of Magic Fudge and Deputy Minister Umbridge, and continued in a solemn tone.

"Rumor has it that Gringotts is secretly appropriating the gold of our wizards. ”

"Well, what's going on? Who said that?" Fudge subconsciously sat up straight, frowning.

"As far as I know, it was first passed from Perseus Parkinson of the House of Parkinson, who was sure that the gold in the vault had been secretly touched by the elves, and although there was nothing wrong with the total, it did not appear in its original place. It's just that at the moment it is only his statement from memory, and these speculations cannot be confirmed for the time being. ”

"Gringotts' funding problems are mostly true. Glass, the main conduit of the goblin venture capital department who contacted us before, has disappeared, and as for the embezzlement of the wizard's gold, the goblins are not so bold. ”

The Director of the Elf Liaison Office shook his head and grinned.

At the same time, Dolores Umbridge shook her head and smiled, her thick, short fingers rubbing her fingers against the gemstone ring on her left hand, which had just been worn for a few days, and said in harmony.

"The latter one, it should be that Mr. Perseus is too sensitive. The elves are responsible for paying the salaries of various Ministry of Magic officials and the cost of purchasing supplies from government-related businesses...... It is also a matter of course that these processes will go to the vault. Maybe the news of the mysterious man has spread so much recently that he is a little suspicious, right? How could the goblin be short of money. ”

"That's right, Gringotts Wizarding Bank may have a small number of investment failures, but it will definitely not fall into a crisis because of this, as a bank, don't all the money have to go back to them, and it is impossible to go out and go around and evaporate out of thin air, right?"

Glancing at Umbridge with some gratitude, Mokridge nodded and whispered.
