Blackstone Code Chapter 973: New situation

While Lynch and Katherine were talking about education, Mr. President sat down with his key confidants and staff to discuss the issue.

The atmosphere is very harmonious. After half a year of smooth transition, the federal government has placed his own people in important positions. Mr. President truly controls the country in his own hands.

The cold air from the air conditioner made the temperature in the room very pleasant. The gentlemen were sitting or standing around Mr. President, and their eyes were all focused on Mr. President.

"...then we have three directions, education, health care and social security!"

Mr. President's words were not easy. At this time, the door opened, everyone looked back, and Mr. Truman walked in with a briefcase.

"There's a bit of traffic on the road.", he's running late, so he needs an excuse.

Mr. President looked at his watch, "It's only fifteen minutes from your place."

"But the road is a bit blocked." He found a place to sit down. Mr. President did not continue to talk about this, he was just late.

He took the coffee from the staff, said thank you, and asked, "Where did it come from?"

"We just talked about the three major reforms, we have to choose one to go." Mr. President's attitude is very firm, not like a joke.

The three major federal reforms are education, health care and social security. There are many problems and urgent changes are needed.

However, because there are too many interests involved, any change is not so easy to complete, and may even lead to attacks by some disadvantaged interests.

Seeing that Mr. Truman had nothing to say, Mr. President continued to say, "Every president before us has talked about these issues, but no one has ever been able to solve them."

"We may be the first to do so, and history will remember us."

"Now all we have to do is pick one, put it on the cutting board, and think about where to start..."

The atmosphere in the room was relatively depressed. No one spoke. Mr. President was a little disappointed, but it was within his expectations.

Behind these three systems are the interests of many capitalists. If he wants to touch these now, it will definitely lead to opposition.

He's the president, he'll go home after he's done, the others still have a long way to go, what will they do in the future?

His eyes stayed on everyone's face for a moment, but these usually sharp people pretended to be contemplative as if they didn't realize that Mr. President was looking at them.

Until, his eyes fell on Mr. Trueman.

"If you have to choose, choose education.". Mr. Truman gave his own answer, which was surprisingly consistent with Mr. President's own thoughts, which also brought a smile to his face.

He stopped looking at other people and kept staring at Truman, "Tell me why you chose education."

Mr. Truman took a sip of his coffee, "Because we can only chew on this!"

"The education group is different from the medical group and the insurance group. The biggest difference is that we change some education rules and will not touch the core interests of the education group."

"They may be displeased with our actions, but it won't be too much. There's no need to destroy a city for a fly."

Now the so-called education groups are actually no longer limited to the relatively simple business of monopolizing knowledge. What they run is actually a kind of network, a kind of "gang".

This may seem a little weird, how did the education group get involved with the gang?

It happens to be like this, for example, the Holy Peace Alliance, which can be said to be the largest interest group in the field of education.

What do they want?

It is people's concern for alumni status, people's yearning for candidates of the Holy Harmony Society, and the ability to establish a rich and reliable social network and relationship before graduation by going to the Holy Harmony School.

This is also why so many parents are willing to pay a lot of money to send their children to prestigious schools, and even these prestigious schools are reluctant to recruit sponsored students, and they try their best to put their children in .

This kind of "commodity" is more profitable and more terrifying than monopoly knowledge, but the negative effects it brings are the smallest.

People never hate that the Holy Harmony Colleges don't admit their children, they just hate that their children are not good enough, they hate that they are not rich enough, anyway they don't think it's the school's problem!

How scary?

Even the medical group can't compare to this. At least some people will scold the medical group, but very few people will scold the education group.

So in this case, changing the education system will not really touch the interests of those education groups.

Public universities sell knowledge, private universities sell the secrets of success, they are not the same thing!

Everyone in the room knew this, but they were reluctant to come forward first, Mr. Truman came forward, and the president thought again that he was standing in his office that day, expressing his love for the country, for the The desperation and indignation of capitalists.

This just makes the president trust Truman even more, because he knows that he has no one to rely on except himself.

Mr. President nodded, "I also talked about education reform in my inaugural declaration. This is exactly when I fulfilled my promise. I don't want to be called a 'liar president' when I retire!" /

"So Truman, where do we start?"

Mr. Trueman did not hesitate to "start with a lower standard."

"I thought you were going to say more public schools." The president's mood was fairly light, which was a joke.

The construction cost of a public school is not high, but the maintenance cost is not low, and not every city's finances can support it.

The higher the school, the higher the cost. Now there are three or five universities in many federal states, and many cities do not have public universities.

The unaffordable cost is a big problem, and if many public schools are to be built, it will be a heavy pressure on the federal finances.

In addition, the source of the teacher will be more troublesome.

Mr. Truman shook his head, "There is no need for this, we just need to expand the existing school campus so that it can accommodate more people to study there."

"The reform of primary and secondary schools should not be too big, and universities...", he pondered for a while, "We can encourage local governments and private joint ventures, or give willingness to establish private universities, but according to the new rules we have set Some help from those who came."

"For example... Sheng Yuan."

"There will be a lot of people who want to go to college but can't afford it, like Lynch..."

The room was filled with kind or not-so-kind laughter. Everyone knows that Lynch's studies are actually good, because he has no money and no education insurance, so he can't go to high school.

Although he is now hanging in the college of the Holy Peace, everyone who knows him knows that this is not a real school.

That deep sense of superiority made people laugh, and they finally found a better side than Lynch, they went to college!

Mr. Truman is also laughing, "Educational reform will allow more of the lower classes of society to support our political agenda, and we will be able to elect more talents for the Commonwealth, and they will change this country!"

Every face has a radiance, a radiance full of mission.

Once educational reforms succeed, they will become an integral part of the history of the Commonwealth because, each of them, they have advanced this country.

Mr. President nodded, "Don't reveal this matter for now, we need to wait."

"A lot of this year's budget has gone into the military's pocket. We don't have the funds to launch this reform. Next year, or the year after, when the budget is looser, it won't be a problem."

"And this requires more detailed discussion and research..."

This is normal and not a problem.

The tone on this education reform seems to be set, and they don't even have the idea of ​​talking about health care reform and insurance reform, because they know that's absolutely impossible.

Rather than being hated by capitalists or even revenge, let's talk about education, which people care more about.

In the next few days, the entire Federation was very calm, and more and more people accepted the "offer" every moment, they borrowed a sum of money from every moment, and then used it to compensate every moment. The losses caused by each moment, and then the instalments of the money for each moment are also paid in installments.

It sounds a bit confusing, but this special measure was quickly learned by the bank. They adjusted the calculation method of personal instalments. The faster the repayment, the lower the interest. The slower the repayment, the higher the interest. The high method has a little miraculous effect for a while.

In addition to these, in early June, two things touched some people's nerves a little.

The first thing, there was a firefight in Mariro, the generals went to war against their neighbors when they still had money to maintain their scale because their former backers lost their financial support every moment .

This is not a battle between gangs, your gang, my gang, across the street, hiding behind a trash can, holding a pistol and pulling the trigger with eyes closed in an unknown direction.

Except for the passerby who was killed ~IndoMTL.com~ The other party may not be injured.

This is a war, a real war, with more than 30,000 people on both sides!

The sudden break in the peace in Mariro has also led to a lot of pressure on the border, with Mariro people trying to cross the border into the Commonwealth every day to seek asylum.

But now... federal policy is to prohibit labor immigration, in other words, they deny ordinary people coming here in any form.

Unless they have money.

Or have technology!

It was at this time that Sanchez, who had disappeared for a while, reappeared in Mariro. He raised the banner of "peace and fraternity" and began to recruit people. The slogan was to create a truly peaceful Mariro, a Mariro A country where the Mallory can live in peace.

It's as funny as someone saying that **** is processed to make it delicious, but some people actually believe it.

There's always a fool with a dream, isn't there?
