Harry Potter Morning Light.

Chapter 2017 The Thickness of the Crucible ([-])

The convoy arrived at Le Treport at about four in the afternoon, and this time they were arranged in an Italian-style villa.

The manor is not located by the beach, and many houses have been built by the beach.This is the first city to enter Normandy, and it is also a seaside resort. On the other side of the small town, there is a small town of Merleigh on the other side of the estuary.Both cities are built along chalk cliffs, and the houses are colorful and look very Sandonini.It is not so much two cities as it is a city divided into two halves by the Somme River.

The highest point and the most magnificent building in the small town is the St. Jacques Church. There is also one in Paris, but it only has one tower left. On the hillside covered with green vegetation, there is no Gothic slenderness and sharpness, nor Baroque gorgeousness. Their residence is next to the church.

Renaissance-style houses often have no gardens, even the Royal Palace in Venice.After a simple settlement, the French continued to inspect the local factories.

Georgiana didn't leave because she received a letter from an owl. Half an hour later, the Minister of the British Ministry of Magic would visit. Fortunately, there was a relatively spacious living room in this house. Georgiana immediately asked the maids to clean it up. Set it up, and prepare tea and wait.

After everything was arranged, the attendants at the door came to announce the arrival of the guests. She originally wanted them to bring people in. Later, she remembered that Napoleon sent a person to the door by himself, so she went to the door to greet him. .

Lufkin is a middle-aged woman with chestnut hair, wearing a green witch robe, with a gentle smile on her face.Behind her was Stamp, Head of the Ministry of Magic's Enforcement Department. He wore a purple coat, a red bow tie, and his silver-white hair was neatly combed.

"Welcome." She looked at Britain's first female Minister of Magic in history. There was no human height visible on the chocolate frog picture, and Lufkin seemed to be a little taller than Minerva.

"It's an honor to meet you, Linda." Lufkin said gently, "I've always wanted to see you."

You never know what it's like to meet some of the biggest names in Hufflepuff history.

Georgiana smirked, "I've always wanted to see you too, let's go in and talk."

She led them into the living room, but what she didn't expect was that her female bodyguard, Caroline, the wayward lady of the Lestrange family, actually came. Besides her, there was another person from the French Ministry of Magic, Georgiana I met him at a meeting, named Ross Perot, he was not only a Quidditch fan, but also in charge of the dragon blood business.

She glanced at Lufkin and the others again, and they seemed to know about it, as if she was the only one who didn't know anything and was kept in the dark.

She wasn't angry, anger wouldn't solve anything, the Muggle trade was annoying enough.

After everyone sat down, Caroline threw Matilda and the others out, and used magic to make the teapot float in the air, and poured tea for everyone.

This kind of diplomatic occasion should be in line with etiquette, but Georgiana chose to sit in a position that made her feel most comfortable. Only in this way can she feel her brain running at full speed.

"What do you want to talk about? Quidditch or something else?" Georgiana asked in French.

"They want us to sell them dragon's blood at a 'fair' price." Ross Perot complained and said, "They have withdrawn from the International Federation of Wizards."

"If you quit, you can join again. Are you going to keep this status?" Georgiana asked Lufkin.

"We would be happy to rejoin the international organization," Lufkin said, but Perot seemed less appreciative.

"How about we change our thinking? We don't seem to have established a list of tradable and prohibited commodities." Georgiana said, "It is precisely because of this that the eggs of the Peruvian Venomtooth entered Europe, which caused the spread of dragon pox."

"What do you suggest?" Stamp asked.

"Our respective countries establish a list of prohibited and tradable products, and then hold an international meeting to discuss. As for the dragon's blood discount you want, I hope you can let the employees of the fungal culture company assist the French side. I heard you Are you going to grow some fungi in the tunnels of the catacombs?" Georgiana asked.

Perot said nothing.

That ghostly place does not see sunlight, but it is suitable for fungal cultivation. Georgiana also suggested that Muggles should also grow mushrooms underground, which can solve part of the food source problem.

But the pure-blood nobles of France didn't do this kind of work before, and even though times have changed, they still don't think so highly of this job.

"The past has passed, and the first ruling also believes that the law only applies to the future and has no retrospective effect."

Perrault looked at her in bewilderment.

"What does that mean?" Lufkin asked Stamp.

"You should have heard that the Muggle government in France has stipulated that the property of the exiles sold will not be returned." Stamp said, "In addition, when the Jacobins were in power, it was stipulated that the ownership of land can only be traced back 300 years ago. Years, if there is no such restriction to trace the origin of history, then..."

"They quit if they want to quit, and join if they want to join. Do you think this is fair to the magic residents of other countries?" Perot asked.

"Let's discuss this at the General Assembly. Set up a trade standard that is in the common interest, which is good for everyone." Georgiana looked at Perot and said, "Fair trade is also a kind of fairness."

This time Perot said nothing.

Georgiana looked at Lufkin, who also frowned.

"I hope that poisonous tentacles will be placed on the list of prohibited trade." Georgiana said to Lufkin. "Cultivating it by non-professionals may bring disaster. This is also a protection law."

"What about the Garuda?" Perrault asked.

Lufkin glanced at Stamp.

"As a rare venomous animal, we think they should be limited in number and habitat in the same way as Peruvian venomous dragons," Stump said.

"We think it should be eradicated in Europe, it's an invasive species," Perrault said. "They also harmed one of our native water snakes."

"I don't think we can rely on the literature to determine that the origin of the long-horned water snake is Western Europe, as we all know..."

While Stamp was arguing with Perot, Georgiana glanced at Lufkin, shook her head at her, and silently said the word "no way".

Napoleon would not cede the right to judge, there were laws concerning the police and public order, which were enforceable on "everyone" residing in French territory, and "no one" could violate public order and good customs.

The first step in eradicating privileges is the abolition of immunity. "Anyone", whether noble or commoner, who accepts a public office from a foreign government, or serves as a foreign military organizer without government permission, loses his qualifications as a Frenchman. There are many in this world. Stateless people, generally their appearance will cause conflicts among countries, so stateless people who are illegally operating in the territory will often be deported unless there is a state party behind them.

If Britain intends to accept those purgers, then they can compete with the French for the right to judge. Anyway, they have already accepted many French exiled nobles.But the British Ministry of Magic almost always sends scavengers to Azkaban, and those muggles are not suitable for wizarding prisons.

This is a nonsense thing, borrowing trade to bring Britain back to the Wizarding Union is troublesome enough, and justice is beyond Georgiana's ability.

As for allowing the UK to hold a Quidditch World Cup, it still depends on Lufkin to lobby. The British are very good at lobbying, whether it is building a canal or changing the terms of Irish trade.

Come on, England!
Georgiana sighed helplessly, and Lufkin also sighed.
