In September 1929, the average price of securities on the New York Stock Exchange peaked at $365.

Manju sold all the securities, repaid the bank loans, and deposited some of the funds into gold in Swiss banks, and the rest of the dollars in several large banks that did not fail in the future.

On October 20, 1929, the New York Stock Exchange went bankrupt, and on October 24, the price of the New York stock market fell by 12.8% in one day, and the Great Crisis began, ushering in the 10-year Great Depression.

The U.S. economy was then in full swing in a devastating catastrophe, with terrible chain reactions soon occurring: frenzied runs, bank failures, factory closures, worker unemployment, poverty, organized resistance, and the brink of civil war. Agricultural capitalists and large farmers destroyed the "surplus" produce in large quantities, used wheat and corn as fuel for coal, and poured milk into the Mississippi River, turning the river into a "galactic galaxy". The city's homeless people built humble shelters out of wooden planks, old tin sheets, tarpaulin, and even brown paper, and these huts were clustered in villages known as "Hoover Village." The homeless people's food bags are called "Hoover bags", the cars that are pulled by animal power because they can't afford to buy fuel are called "Hoover cars", and even the newspapers covered by homeless people sleeping on street benches are called "Hoover blankets". The apple vendor on the street became one of the most recognizable symbols of the Great Depression. Among those who were forced to earn a living by running itinerant fruit stalls were many former successful businessmen and bankers.

In 1930, Manjoo took 3-year-old Tom Jr. through "Hoover Village", adopting magical orphans, employing wizard families, and collecting products that were being destroyed by capitalists and farmers. Not only them, but all of Manju's men and house-elves were sent out to do this. Manjoo is not the Virgin, she is not kind-hearted to raise these people for nothing, she is just planning for the future of Little Tom. The magical orphan will become Tom's companion and subordinate in the future, and the wizard family will become a vassal of the Isosel family!

Manjoo knew that in a few years, the dollar in the bank would depreciate, so she frantically waved the dollar to buy farms and factories. There were too many bankrupt farmers and factories, and Manju continued to buy a large number of farms and factories at extremely cheap prices, without worrying about not being able to spend the dollars. But the biggest headache for Manju also happened, the tenant farmers and workers of the farms and factories that were bought wanted to stay and continue to work, and were reluctant to leave. Manjoo only wants land and factories, and does not want to take in these farmers and workers with average ability at all, because she only wants the best farmers and workers.

Originally, Manzhu was planning to buy a farm managed by house-elves and wizards, growing various medicinal herbs, making them into potions, and selling them in the wizarding world. And the factory is also for the farm and the crafting of potions. None of this can be known to ordinary people. But now these peasants and workers refuse to leave, and they cause her great trouble.

In the end, Manju had to agree to the peasants and workers on extremely harsh terms to stay voluntarily. If you want to stay, you don't have a salary!

As a result, most of the peasants and workers were gone, leaving behind either the old and infirm or those whose families were burdened with heavy burdens. After all, it is still the beginning of the economic crisis, and everyone still has hope for the big cities!

In order to accommodate the peasants and workers, Manju had to change her plans. As the population grows, farms and factories still have to be acquired and expanded. Establish a wizard's magic village near Isosel Manor, where most of the wizard villagers grow magical herbs and some work in potions factories. Starting in California, where the Magic Village is located, starting from Iowa in the Midwest, and spanning Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, a total of six states!

Manju operates these farms and factories on the basis of future corporate farms, each of which is contracted to be cultivated on a family basis. However, the company is responsible for a series of services such as pre-production (including breeding, fallow, planting structure and accumulation guidance), production (fertilization, pest control, irrigation, etc.), and post-production (harvesting assistance, sales, etc.) of agricultural production.

All the farms are planted, what factories produce, and what is produced is arranged by Manju. According to the climate of each region, the richness of agricultural resources, and the regional specialization planting according to local conditions. For example, wheat is mainly grown in the northern plains, corn is mainly grown in the central plains, and various fruits and vegetables are mainly grown in the Pacific region. Cattle, sheep and other breeding industries are mainly distributed in the plains in the south and the mountains in the west.

The factory produces all the equipment and processed agricultural products that serve the farm, as well as all the processing plants that everyone needs for their daily life.

The farmers on the farm and the workers in the factory all work for Manju in the form of families, and the whole family works in the industry of Manju, without wages, and the living needs of the workers and peasants are uniformly distributed by Manju's company.

For example, there are nine people in the family of a farmer under the Manzhu Company, an ordinary person, a 40-year-old farmer Bibo! There are nine people in the family, and he, his wife and his parents have contracted a 100-acre farm, the eldest son is 21 years old and works in the company's seed factory, the eldest daughter is 19 years old and works as a salesperson in the company's store, the second son is 16 years old and learns medicinal herb cultivation in the company's technical school, and the third son is 13 years old and the youngest daughter is 11 years old and is studying in the company's school.

On 100 acres, the Bibbs and their parents grow 60 acres of corn, 20 acres of oats, and 20 acres of forage grass. The farm has two grain storage silos equipped with a semi-automatic transfer system. The Bibbs also raised 100 pigs and 100 meat bulls. The Bibbs also kept many small animals, such as chickens, dogs, rabbits, ducks and skunks, and 12 cats, and the farm became a mini-zoo. Bib and his father were in charge of raising pigs and cows, while Mrs. Bib and Bibb's mother were in charge of raising the cute little animals.

Every year, the company will unify a series of services for Bibo Farm to produce a series of services such as pre-production (including breeding, fallow, planting structure and accumulation), production (fertilization, pest control, irrigation, etc.), post-production (harvesting assistance, sales, etc.), as well as breeding (including breeding, vaccination, veterinary inspection, sales, etc.). Among them, the seller can only be the company after the farm is harvested, and a part of the income from farm production can be retained for itself, which can be exchanged for points according to the sales volume, and the points can be exchanged for living needs and production needs in the company's shopping mall.

And for the most terrible natural disasters and livestock infectious diseases on the farm, whether it is a great drought or hail, the presence of magic and potions is not a problem for wizards at all.

Manjoo did all of this without avoiding Little Tom, and even after Little Tom was six years old, she also experienced the life of a farmer with him in the ordinary farm area and magic material cultivation area of Isolsel Manor. They grow crops and medicinal herbs together, raise chickens and ducks!

Before the age of six, Tom mainly followed Manzhu to learn magic knowledge and family inheritance training, and after the age of six, he added experience life projects and learned about No-Maji, and Little Tom also went to the company school to go to school with No-Maji. With Little Tom's natural resources, he learned the knowledge of the Maji world very quickly, and he completed the primary school knowledge in less than two years and the middle school knowledge in three years. During the holidays during his studies, Manjoo took him on a run around the world, Europe, Asia, Africa...... Climbed the Eiffel Tower in France, climbed the Great Wall in China, and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa...... It's also to see the scenery, taste the food, learn skills, and adopt some magical orphans, and live a colorful life!

Manzhu has always wanted to cultivate little Tom into a lively and cheerful sunny boy! She thinks that she cares about little Tom both in life and study, she has always behaved very cheerfully in front of little Tom, and the little friends who accompany little Tom have never been less, but little Tom still develops into the character of the cold noodle king, not smiling, and the momentum is becoming more and more majestic, which makes Manzhu disappointed!

On Tom's eleventh birthday, he received admission letters from both Hogwarts and Ilphamon School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! Although because of the 'fame' of their mother and son in the American wizarding world, Manju did not like Ilfamani School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, because there were too many people there who wanted to fight the idea of Isolser's family! But when he thought that Hogwarts had a famous eccentric-eyed White Lord Dumbledore here, Manzhu was even more uneasy! Because Little Tom, who had been educated by an orthodox Slytherin nobleman, was completely a Slytherin! Will he be bullied by Dumbledore like this?

"My baby Tom, let's go to Ilvermorny, and it's easy to go home!" Manju looked at little Tom with a blank face with tears in her eyes!

"No, Mom, I'm going to Hogwarts!" said little Tom solemnly.

"Baby, Mommy can't bear you!" Manju said reluctantly, wiping away tears from her tears.

"Mom, I'm a Slytherin!" said little Tom, with a helpless expression, and finally said earnestly.

......

In the end, Tom couldn't make up his mind, and Tom went to Hogwarts!

Refusing to be accompanied by a Hogwarts teacher to Diagon Alley, Manju Yirong personally accompanies Little Tom. After the start of school, I personally went to King's Cross Railway Station to see Tom Jr. on the train!

Alas, eleven years have passed, and time is running out! It would be nice to spend a little more time with little Tom!

Little Tom went to school, and Manjoo used the owls to either deliver letters or food every day! It wasn't until Little Tom protested that she let the poor owls go and stopped her frequent daily delivery activities! However, by Christmas, Manju wanted Little Tom to go home anyway, completely ignoring the distance between Britain and the United States! Poor Little Tom had to work hard back and forth, just to appease Manjoo's longing feelings!

Little Tom doesn't like to talk, but after a semester, there are still a lot of interesting things to say about life in the house at Hogwarts! Little Tom is talking about the worn Sorting Hat, and he says he's a Slytherin before he even puts it on! Talking about the glory of Slytherin at Hogwarts! Talking about the wariness of Vice Headmaster Dumbledore about him......

Manjoo happily watched him smile in line with a child of this age, and felt much more relieved!

Manjoo was intrigued by the rumors about the many secret rooms at Hogwarts that she had seen on TV and fandom, and the unscrupulous mother encouraged little Tom to go on an expedition to find the Slytherin Secret Rooms!

In this regard, Manzhu thought disdainfully, what she gave Little Tom could be armed from head to toe, even if Dumbledore wanted to do something to Little Tom, he couldn't take advantage of it!
