Chapter 507: Liquidation of the Ministry of Magic
Umbridge gave a brief report on the current situation and said that everything Mr. Autumn wished to see would be presented within three days.
"Very good, the Ministry of Magic's performance this time is worthy of recognition," Sainz nodded and said, "You see, if the Ministry of Magic in the past could have had such a responsible attitude, how could an evil wizard like Voldemort be allowed to act lawlessly for so long?"
"Yes, magic was indeed slack in the past," Umbridge said with a smile, "After hearing Mr. Autumn's advice, the ministry is now united and will never again neglect its duties like before."
"That's good, but we also need to realize that the current situation in the department cannot be blamed solely on the people on duty,"
Sainz commented: "Many times, some of the current bad consequences are not caused by the current people. We cannot let a bad person go, nor can we wrongly accuse a good person. We cannot let some people think that they can offset their mistakes by giving up when difficulties come."
Umbridge asked cautiously, "We are all confused by the current situation and have lost our judgment. I wonder how long Mr. Autumn thinks we should pursue the responsibility?"
“I heard that Voldemort was rampant for more than ten years, and the people at that time fought bravely and prevented him from succeeding. Later, he stumbled in front of Harry Potter and became a wandering ghost, daring not to show up. The people at that time were very sure of him.
And this time, Voldemort's resurgence first appeared in the summer three years ago. I think Deputy Minister Umbridge should be aware of this, right?"
Umbridge turned pale with fear, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. "Dear Mr. Autumn, I am not trying to make excuses for myself, but I really didn't know that he had been resurrected at that time. I... I was deceived. Please believe me."
"Really?"
"You have to believe me," Umbridge said, completely shirking her responsibility. "You know, I... I really want to make some achievements in front of the minister, but... but I swear I really don't know about Voldemort's resurrection."
"So you were deceived?"
"Thank God you believed it!"
"You were deceived. Someone must have told you something else, which led to you being deceived."
"Indeed, indeed!"
"This is abominable." How could Sainz not know Umbridge's lies? However, he had tortured her severely before, so he could let her go for the time being. "The person who deceived you can't let him go free any longer."
"Yes, yes!" Umbridge agreed repeatedly.
"It took more than a year from Voldemort's resurrection to his exposure. During this time, how many people pretended to be deaf and dumb and pretended to be ignorant? Do you think that these people who neglected their duties should bear some responsibility for the current consequences?"
Umbridge wiped the sweat from her forehead and said tremblingly: "I have a responsibility, I have a responsibility! If it weren't for these people, many things could have been avoided."
Sainz nodded. "This is as it should be. Everyone has to pay the price for what they have done. It can't be written off just because they are not on duty."
That’s right, Mr. Sai is targeting Fudge!
Umbridge probably understood the meaning a long time ago, but was hesitant because she was involved. Now that Sai had admitted that she was deceived, in order to prove the fact that she was deceived, she would be even more ruthless towards Fudge.
Let's see how far she can go. Judging from what Fudge has done, it would not be too light for him to enjoy a massage from the Dementors in Azkaban, or too heavy for him to be sent directly to the gallows.
After all, the wizarding world is different from the Muggle world. The laws there are not particularly sound, and sentencing is often based entirely on experience.
To prevent someone from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, Sainz reminded that "the death penalty is reserved for extremely evil people, such as Death Eaters and those directly working for evil forces. An important point is whether the person has killed innocent people."
He reiterated, "We cannot let a bad guy go, nor can we wrongly accuse a good guy."
As Umbridge left, he said, "Just drop off a message for me in the future. You can use the fireplace instead of making a trip every time."
"Yes!"
Now that the annoying things are gone, Sai can finally focus on his own research.
From then on, things were running according to Mr. Autumn's will and heading in the direction Mr. Autumn wanted to see.
Three days later, the Ministry of Magic's briefing introduced several things that he was more concerned about. One was that the Ministry of Magic's audit team entered Gringotts and formed a custom. Some goblins tried to rebel again. The Ministry of Magic followed Mr. Autumn's example and re-educated the goblins. After that, their eyes became clear.
Another thing is that the eleven directors of Hogwarts consciously proposed the reorganization of Hogwarts, and they all said that they would step down within a month. As for why there were eleven instead of twelve, it was because Lucius Malfoy had not shown up for a long time.
Sainz didn't take Malfoy's experience to heart. He had no good intentions when he revealed Malfoy's secret in front of a group of Death Eaters.
Given Lao Fu's personality, it's hard to say whether those people will have a chance to have grass growing on their graves.
Let's take a step back and think about it. What if Lao Fu thinks that they have worked hard and made great contributions, and sends them to travel to other countries? Haha.
The purpose of Sai setting up Gringotts was to find a stable source of income for Hogwarts in order to get rid of the predicament of the school being controlled by the aristocratic families.
Of course, the board system is not all bad. If there are no checks and balances, the principal's power is indeed a bit too great. If the principal is an ambitious person, the consequences will be disastrous.
Any organization, once it has a large number of people, is bound to be unable to avoid corruption and infiltration by people with ulterior motives.
Sai has no ability to guarantee that the system he created will be passed down through the ages, nor does he have such extravagant hopes. He just wants the school to not have such a strong private attribute.
Each generation solves its own problems. If any mistakes occur in the future, the progressive people of later generations will take care of them.
If we regard the school as a small country, we will have a reference for how to divide power, and we will not be involved in the specific operations.
In short, Hogwarts will operate independently in the future and will no longer directly accept donations from aristocratic families. The money allocated from Gringotts will be used to establish something similar to a fund, and someone will be responsible for its supervision.
The principal's power will still be supervised by many people, but these people only have the right to supervise the principal and do not participate in the management of the school. Their status is not lifelong but is selected based on the scope. The specific selection method is relatively complicated. Sai just glanced at it and threw it aside.
In addition to these two things, the settlement of the Voldemort incident was also carried out simultaneously. Those who were fooled by Voldemort had died that night. There were not many people left, and even fewer people were worthy of the death penalty.
There are not many death penalty cases, but there are still some with other sentencing methods, all of which are from families with a history. After all, Voldemort looks down on Muggle wizards and wizards of ordinary blood.
