Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 351 The First Motion

For the workers, the newly established duplex union was a completely new thing, which made them feel novel but also very unaccustomed.

After all, gatherings of more than five people must apply for registration, which is really uncomfortable for workers who usually like to get together for a drink after get off work.

Every day after get off work, you have to count the heads of people. If you can gather four people, you can go drinking. It doesn't matter if there are less. But once you get to five, things will become awkward and one of you will have to be kicked out.

And this is only one of the impacts brought about by the establishment of the Duplex Alliance, and it is the most insignificant one.

The ban on gatherings of more than five people is indeed a trivial matter compared with the attendant systems of night schools, workers’ pickets, and patrols.

Night school is a new thing for workers, but it is also a place that can provide them with learning opportunities, which can make up for the regret that most of them have not read books.

Therefore, as soon as the night school was opened, workers enthusiastically signed up.

The evening school class, which was originally planned to enroll only a few dozen students per class, was suddenly filled with at least 150 students, more than doubling the number.

Faced with this situation, the representatives of the Duplex Alliance naturally wanted to deal with this matter immediately, and this became an issue discussed at the first representative meeting of the Duplex Alliance.

The worker representatives are not stupid, and of course they will not jump out to tit-for-tat. The main premise of the dual-work alliance is that both parties live in harmony and maintain stability. If the conflicts between the two parties are intense, it will violate the original intention of establishing this organization. .

Cutting the number of people in each night school class is of course the simplest and most direct way, but this method itself is damaging to the interests of workers.

After all, night school classes were originally established to educate workers about illiteracy. If you now limit the number of people, wouldn't it mean that some people are unable to become illiterate?

So immediately some workers' representatives objected and said: "No, the registration for night school classes has reached this level. If we reduce the class size, everyone will be disappointed with the duplex union and feel that we are only providing convenience to a small number of people. This It is not conducive to the development of duplex joint work.”

This was originally a good thing. When both parties first agreed on this matter, they had good intentions and the idea of ​​​​getting things done together.

"I think we can limit the number of people in each night school class. Now each class has at least 150 people to sign up. After the class starts, there will be a large number of people to observe. This will cause unnecessary trouble." An engineer representative He was the first to speak, and his attitude did not mean to deliberately suppress. He just clarified the problems he was facing now.

At the beginning of the night school class, there were 50 people per class, and the engineers sent people to serve as teachers in the night school, responsible for educating the workers about illiteracy.

But now, both sides did not expect that things would have unexpected problems, so they naturally had to make adjustments to their original policies.

No one would want to challenge the Earl's temper and mood and try to see what would happen if he disobeyed her.

Therefore, within the Duplex Union, whether they are worker representatives or engineer representatives, they will try their best to restrain their attitudes when discussing issues and avoid the outbreak of fierce quarrels and confrontations.

It is precisely because of this that when selecting representatives, both parties have tried their best to select candidates with good temperaments and who can speak well. The two leaders, Baras and Erwin, have already warned them in advance. Representatives of your own side should not behave irrationally at representative meetings. Therefore, both parties showed restraint whether they proposed motions or opposed them. They would not oppose the other party's camp and position, but would discuss the matter as it happened.

Of course, this is also because the level and ability of these people are not enough.

If it were the politicians in Langton's elected assembly and aristocratic assembly, they would not be so gentle and thrifty.

For these old politicians, it is a basic skill to hide their true purpose under various seemingly irrelevant words.

The current representatives of the Duplex Alliance obviously do not have such ability, and of course they do not need such ability.

Therefore, when discussing this motion, both parties can basically discuss matters as they arise.

Because of this, when the worker representatives suggested that the number of night school classes cannot be reduced, the engineer representatives immediately objected to this statement: "What we promised at the beginning was to open night schools and allow every worker to sign up. We did not We promise that everyone will have access to books, but we also don’t promise that everyone who signs up will definitely pass, right?
And we’re not saying we won’t give them a chance, it’s just that the current capacity limit for a class is only so many, and we can put the extra people in the next batch. "

"Then when is the next batch? Now the workers are very enthusiastic about this matter. If we suddenly announce that a large number of people have no chance to enroll, or have to wait until the next batch, it will cause a very bad situation. "The workers' representatives were still unwilling to give in, insisting that others would not have the opportunity to join the union to cause trouble.

When the representative from the engineer's side heard this, he looked at the representative from the Lord's Mansion, a civilian official from the civil service group.

He came today to observe the performance of representatives from both sides, and now that he was suddenly being noticed, he naturally wanted to express his stance.

So he raised his head and looked at the others and said: "The Lord wants to maintain stability. If there is no trouble, there will be no trouble. If there is trouble, I will kill you and the people who caused the trouble."

It's a fairly simple and direct threat, but thinking about the airships, steam knights and other equipment in the north is enough to show that the northern lord can really eliminate all those who oppose him in a physical sense.

As for why the representatives of the Duplex Alliance and those who caused trouble should be killed, this is actually easy to understand, because the purpose of establishing the Duplex Alliance is to maintain stability. If you can't do that, why are you still here to do it? , wasting precious food?

After being told this by the representative of the Lord's Mansion, both parties shut their mouths. Obviously, they must re-discuss the matter on the premise of stability.

But at this time, Erwin suddenly said: "We will send more engineers to serve as teachers. On the basis of the original night school classes, we will double the number of night school classes, divert the registered students, and strive to control each class. With around 70 people, what do you think?

This will not only allow more people to have books to read, but also reduce the number of people in each class. "

"It's okay to do this, but where are there so many teachers willing to teach night school workers?" Barras also raised his own question at this time.
