Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 350 Reactions from Both Sides

While Purfict instructed the old butler to arrange for his distant relatives and recall the old servants, Bales and Erwin also returned to their own groups, conveying to the workers and engineers that Purfict wanted to establish Duplex Federation Decision.

On the engineer's side, although they were not satisfied with having to form a so-called union with workers they regarded as scumbags, they also had few privileges.

But they have no objection to the matter itself. After all, establishing a new association is also a manifestation of gaining power for them.

At the same time, this can be regarded as the importance that Purficott, the northern lord, attaches to them, and it is in the interest of the engineer group.

However, they did not receive all the benefits and had to share power with the workers, which made them feel unsatisfied.

But it is impossible for them to oppose the implementation of this bill.

Even the engineers who are most dissatisfied with the bill only hope to increase the proportion of engineers' representatives in the association and expand the power of engineers, rather than wanting to overturn the table.

Therefore, although engineers are not satisfied with the details of the final bill, they still support the bill itself.

But correspondingly, although workers are satisfied with many details of the bill, they do not have more support for the bill itself.

Faced with the inquiry from the workers' representatives, Balas said frankly: "It was the intention of the Earl. Although she allowed the establishment of the duplex union and allowed us to participate in the management of the association, she did not want us to cooperate with the association. Who among engineers can have an advantage.

So I did shrink back. I want to sincerely apologize to everyone for this. I gave up some benefits that I could have gained. "

"Barras, you went to talk for three days and we reached this result? You might as well go with me!" After listening to the news brought back by Barras, several worker representatives gathered together. Among them, the most grumpy one The bad one directly expressed his dissatisfaction with Barras.

Another representative next to him pulled him, and then asked Barras: "Barras, the workers trust you. I believe that the current result is not what you want to see. Can you tell me why?" Will there be such a result? I think everyone would like to hear your explanation."

You can see this from the number of nine representatives. We have four votes and the engineers have four votes. As for the final result, it all depends on who the lord himself votes for.

At this point, the workers still have basic trust in him.

In the past, Barras has already proven through his various actions that he is reliable and trustworthy.

Although they were not satisfied with the outcome of Barras' negotiation, they did not doubt that Barras had betrayed the interests of the workers.

Having said this, Barras bowed his head to several worker representatives present and expressed his apology to them.

However, everyone did not say anything at this time, but stared at Barras, waiting for his next words.

After all, everyone let him talk out of their trust in Barras. Everyone was dissatisfied with the outcome of the negotiation, but they also understood that Barras was not that kind of weak person. He would not give up without a reason. Benefits that can be fought for. So they were all waiting for an explanation from Barras, even the most grumpy worker representative.

"Although I don't know the specific situation, judging from the conversation between the lord and the engineer representative, as well as the attitude of the lord himself, there may be a huge secret hidden behind her building the energy tower." Barras expressed his guess. and judged, and then explained: "For this secret, the lord needs the entire northern territory to remain stable, which is the fundamental reason why she has been emphasizing the progress of the construction and at the same time asking everyone not to cause trouble.

For the sake of stability in the north, she will indeed make some concessions and compromises, but if we use this to threaten her or even cause riots, we will definitely face the most brutal suppression from this lady lord!
And I had a hunch that the secrets hidden by the lord might be closely related to each of us. Under such circumstances, I made an independent decision and chose to cooperate with the lord instead of seeking benefits. "

Barras explained his choice and the relevant reasons.

Others also fell into thinking after listening.

Although they had not read any books, those who could be elected as workers' representatives were not reckless or stupid people, and they could understand why Barras did what he did.

However, some representatives still asked: "But what is the secret of the lord? The empire is now booming, everything is prosperous, and she has absolute power. Even if someone really creates a disturbance, her army can directly suppress it. She is worry about what?"

"I don't know. She didn't tell me, nor did she tell the engineers' representatives, but I think we must pay attention to this matter. At least we can't get into trouble with her at this time." Bala said frankly, although he I don’t know what Purficott is worried about, but it must be something very important.

Although he was not sure what impact this major incident would have on the workers in the north, he was sure that if the workers made trouble at this time, they would be suppressed in the most brutal and bloody way.

In order not to let everyone's sacrifices be in vain and not let the power of the workers' group be wasted in unnecessary places, Barras made the decision to compromise.

His decision was ultimately supported by other worker representatives.

"I agree with Barras's point of view. We really don't need to provoke the Lord. Her willingness to establish a joint association has given us a channel to peacefully fight for our rights. There is no need for our comrades to shed blood and sacrifice in exchange for us. We could have obtained the benefits through sitting down and negotiating." One of the workers' representatives, who seemed to be more polite, spoke up and expressed his support for Barras and the lords.

Some others agreed with his words, but some thought he was too weak.

But in any case, after some discussion, the worker representatives finally raised no objections to the bill itself.

After all, this does indeed win many benefits for the workers, and it is a bill that is beneficial to them.

As for the fact that after the bill is passed, negotiations and association proposals are needed to win more benefits for the workers, and workers' rallies or direct strikes and demonstrations cannot be launched, several worker representatives did not find this unacceptable.

Therefore, the bill to establish the United Association of Workers and Engineers was successfully passed and implemented.
