Just like businessmen always discuss how to legally avoid taxes, politicians often discuss how to avoid political risks. Professional ethics are often required from top to bottom. It seems that this vocabulary is full of heavy words like "morality", but in fact, if the phrase "professional ethics" is explained in a more straightforward way, then obviously "morality" does not exist in it, and it should be read as "professional laws" .
Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is originally an instinct, just like no fool would fly a kite under dark clouds and lightning during a thunderstorm, just like animals are eager and afraid when they see the light of fire in the dark night.
Humans, creatures full of wisdom and conflicts, are even more extreme in this regard. Everyone hopes that they can encounter the best and luckiest things. No one wants to be unlucky every day. Even a drink of water may be necessary. Send him to the hospital for rescue.
The problems left by Memnon should not be borne by Julio, at least that is what Julio thinks. The operating methods provided by his legal advisor are highly executable. Now because of Memnon's death, everything in the Kadima Party has been completely overturned. If we don't kick it in now, when the Kadima Party is really dead, we may not be able to find someone to take the blame. arrive. Finally, Julio decided to take a look at the operation first. If it works, then the matter will be settled.
Not to mention that Julio asked his legal adviser to submit a review and re-evaluation of the existing bill to the state government and cabinet. On the other side of the city, Dulin was meeting with representatives headed by the president of the workers' union of Van Lier City. . Recently, the workers' union has finally let out a bad breath. The simple and independent working class in the west has finally realized the benefits of unity. Only unity can fight against the exploitation of capital forces, and only unity can unleash the true power of the working class!
unity is strength. There is nothing more powerful than a united working class. Even those arrogant capitalists will tremble in the face of a united working class.
Well, the last half of the sentence is their excited fantasy. In fact, the working class in the west cannot directly threaten the capitalists like in developed areas. In the west, they are a truly disadvantaged group. Tens of millions of people are distributed in various regions of the west. People with jobs only account for about 10% of the total people with citizenship and legal residency rights. The unemployment rate has reached 59.3%. Such horrific unemployment rate is also one of the characteristics of the West, which is also a "scenery" that cannot be seen in other places.
If the unemployment rate in a city in a developed area is as high as 59.3%, the entire city may be in chaos. Scholars and experts from the Imperial Academy of Social Sciences have conducted a survey, which shows that if the unemployment rate in an area is higher than 15%, social chaos will appear and public security problems will begin to worsen. If the unemployment rate exceeds 20%, there will be obvious chaos, and public security will become the biggest problem in the region.
If the unemployment rate exceeds 30%, the area will be in chaos, creating an unstoppable vicious cycle until the rule of a city is completely destroyed and it enters a state of anarchy. The current average employment rate in cities in the southern part of the empire is around 9.7, while that on the east coast is only 8.1. Even so, there are certain social and public security problems. The unemployment rate in the West remains high, ranging from five to ten times that of other places. It is simply impossible that the West still maintains a stable social structure.
But in fact this is a fact, because the special environment in the West allows many families to support themselves even if they do not have a formal job, so even if the unemployment rate is very high and outrageously high, there will not be too much chaos. environment. In fact, the most important thing is that basically every household has a shotgun. Shooting criminals who are committing crimes does not require any consequences or responsibility under local laws in the West, and will even receive rewards and commendations. This increases the cost of crime without limit, as long as you can find a way to support yourself, such as farming. , such as being a gold digger or a hunter or something, everyone is in peace.
But this doesn’t mean that people living in the west don’t need to work. If they can have a stable job, who would be willing to risk the dangers of searching for mineral deposits or hunting animals in the wild? Under various complicated circumstances, Dulin promoted the development of agriculture and animal husbandry in the west, allowing more people to see job opportunities. In order to seize this opportunity, they hoped that someone could represent them and talk to Dulin. talk. For these westerners who always speak with bullets, negotiation is a very nerve-wracking process. They are not good at it, so they are very "smart" and register information in the workers' union, and then hope that the union can negotiate with Dulin. Let’s talk.
This would become a breakthrough point for the workers' union in the west, so the workers' union was particularly excited. They also sent a luxurious delegation, led by the local president, plus three legal advisers and some worker representatives, to sit with Du Lin. In a stable.
"Mr. Dulin, we are very sincere. The guild will arrange for you healthy workers to take care of your farm. Every fifty workers will have one worker who is literate and has received basic education. This is also the case in the entire empire. The best conditions can reflect our sincerity." What the president of the guild said is true. It seems like this is a civilized society, but in fact, there is still a "darkness" beneath the surface of this civilized society. "society.
This dark society does not refer to things like crime, but to culture. Culture includes many things, but what we are talking about here is recognizing words, being able to read and write, being able to do some simple calculations and knowing how to record some numbers. It has only been more than 20 years since the empire entered a new era from decadent feudal rule. It can be said that more than 50% or more of the people in this society are "illiterates". These people are precisely at the bottom of this society. These people are workers. .
They earn a meager salary by selling their labor, but not every job is suitable for them, even manual labor.
For capitalists, educated workers are more popular than those without education. In addition to receiving education that can improve the quality and education of workers, there are also many things that need to be recorded or calculated in the factory. These workers have become hot commodities in the labor market. Among the working class, these people are in the middle and upper strata of the working class. It is easier to find a job, and it is a good job.
This time, in order to settle the "business" with Du Lin, the workers' union took the initiative to relieve Du Lin's worries. For this purpose, they organized a short-term literacy class and calculation class, which will be taught free of charge to workers who want to acquire knowledge. Those books, exercise books, pencils, etc. are all produced by the workers' union. This will be a big expense, but as long as we can negotiate the employment issue with Dulin, it will be considered a victory!
Du Lin actually didn't have any objections to meeting in the stable. He was quite friendly here. After all, he was a farmer's child. Until now, there are still some people who are jealous of him or throw dirty water on him for other reasons. They have been emphasizing Du Lin's origin. The words "a bastard and a farmer's son" are already very nice. Du Lin was a little bored at first, but as time went by, he gradually became able to take it calmly.
The reason is very simple. There are always some people who want to find comfort through other people's shortcomings. Just like a joke that was circulated some time ago, the joke only has one sentence - Mr. Mags can actually pick his nose like us. Perhaps for a character like Maggs, haters can only find this flaw to ruin his reputation, even though doing so actually doesn't help.
Being said to be a farmer's child or a bastard will not make you lose a piece of flesh. Those who love him will continue to love him. As for those who hate him, there seems to be nothing else except hating him even more. way.
Du Lin lowered his head and looked at the table in front of him, which was very shabby. He didn't know who proposed to meet in the stable. After several minutes, when the union president opposite became a little anxious, Du Lin raised his head and stretched out his hand. raised a finger.
"The first requirement is that one out of every ten workers must be able to read and write, and have the ability to calculate and record." Then he stretched out his second finger, "All worker information must be open to me. , there can be no hiding anything.”
"I do not accept any form of dispatch system. If I open up the roster of workers, I will let others choose. I will not accept workers who are not selected by me."
"I must have the power to fire workers unconditionally, and I need to write this clause into the employment contract!"
"During the period of employment, the worker who gets the job will not accept any dispatch from the union, nor will he be allowed to participate in workers' union activities, otherwise I will fire him, and this must also be written into the employment contract."
"As long as you can commit and agree in writing, I will hire workers through the workers' union."
The reason Dulin is willing to talk to the workers' union is that this is their profession. In other words, Dulin cannot let people post employment advertisements everywhere. The workers he hires now are all found for him by the workers' union. It's just a little different between the past and now. In the past, people like the workers' union had no voice at all in the west. They helped Dulin find suitable workers because Dulin gave them money. They filled the west for Dulin for personal gain. Serve.
Now that workers' unions have the possibility of rising in the west, it is obvious that power is more important than money, because everyone knows that as long as you have a certain amount of power in your hands, you will definitely get more money. Therefore, the workers' union intends to keep things official, but Du Lin is not willing to do this. What he needs are employees, not labor dispatch from the workers' union, and the kind that are disobedient.
