It is true that the workers' side has no intention of continuing the stalemate. The strike was mainly due to the government's crackdown on the "United Trade Unions". The workers also understood that without the "United Unions", it would almost certainly have happened for the factory owners to increase their labor intensity and cut wages.

But if it had not been for the strong intervention of the French, the "holy daughter of labor" brought wheat and potato porridge to everyone, and the strike would have been unsustainable. Now that the French have also suggested that the stalemate should not continue, and although the "United Trade Union" has not been retained, the "United Club of Workers" is actually the same thing, but it has changed its brand. Therefore, everyone also felt that there was nothing unacceptable.

Moreover, most of the workers and workers' representatives who were originally arrested were acquitted because of "insufficient evidence" as long as they were still alive, and those who had already been sentenced to hard labor were also acquitted because "I appealed, and after the court studied it, I found that there were flaws in the trial process and remanded them for a new trial", and then they were acquitted at the time of the retrial because of "insufficient evidence". Although until these people were released and returned to their homes, they did not know that they had "appealed" and had been through two court trials. But on the government's side, the appeals, the rulings, and the documents for the two court hearings are clear.

Soon after, the new "London Textile Workers' United Club" was announced on the old site of the former "London Textile Workers' Union". In a brief speech at the inaugural meeting, Gewen Puran said that the "Club" would continue to work for the welfare of the workers, and hoped that the workers would trust and support the "Club" as before.

Polina, dressed in men's clothes, also made a speech congratulating the establishment of the "club" and expressed the hope that the "club" would become a home for not only male workers, but also female workers. In fact, because women workers are more oppressed, clubs should pay more attention to the situation of women and child workers. She expressed the hope that in the future, she would see female representation in the "club".

However, for well-known reasons, the British newspapers did not report on the matter, and the French newspapers did not report very much. And the layout is also arranged very back. Because the French are busy showing off their achievements in science.

Then came the collective bargaining over the strike. Because everyone has a temporary intention to stop fighting, so the negotiations between labor and management are also very smooth, and soon the two sides reached an agreement, but because this year, the number of strikes is really more, so in order to complete the order, so as to avoid huge fines, so the management needs the workers to slightly increase the labor intensity and extend the working hours. Of course, this is not unpaid, and the employer will also give a certain amount of financial compensation for the additional labor.

In addition to this, Mr. Wren, the representative of the management side, also noted that a proposal had recently been put forward by Whig MPs to reform the constituencies. This proposal is beneficial to both the management and the general public.

It's just that the conservative old men in the countryside are really uncivilized, and they have more parliamentarians, and if they want to change the constituency structure, those capitalists need to put a certain amount of pressure on the government and create a certain momentum. And when it comes to creating momentum, you need to rely on the strength of a large number of workers.

"That being said, we hope that you will sign the petition submitted by our representatives in support and send representatives to the ceremony where we present the petition. Of course, we are also willing to show kindness and help to you – for example, your meeting place is too small and shabby, and if you support us, we are willing to help you renovate it. In addition, we are willing to compensate us financially for your delay in work. Wren finally said.

If it had been the previous Fagin, he would have immediately been able to perceive Wren's intentions - he wanted to take this opportunity to win over and corrupt some of the workers' representatives. However, Gwen Pullan did not react so quickly, and he was relatively sluggish. In a sense, he is not the ideal successor in Fagin's heart, he is just a spare part of Fagin.

Spare parts and successors are not the same. The task of spare parts is only used to survive the toughest period after an accident. Therefore, when cultivating spare parts, it is more important to pay attention to his stability. The butcher, or rather Gwen Puran, was a good spare piece for his firm and calm personality, but his mind and knowledge were not good enough to lead the group for a long time. In Fagin Sr.'s heart, Oliver is the successor he really values.

However, Gwen Puran has the advantage of knowing that he is not smart enough and always thinks slowly, so he never rushes to make decisions. Of course, this approach can sometimes miss opportunities, but no one is perfect, and as a spare piece, stability is the most important thing. Compared to those guys who don't know how many bowls of rice they can eat and jump around, Gewen Puran is already quite good.

So he said to Wren: "Mr. Wren, what you said, we still have to discuss it collectively before we can give you an answer." ”

"Ah, necessary caution is a virtue, I can understand." Wren said.

So the general strike in the British textile industry came to an end, and after a contest with each other, everyone had a general understanding of the strength of the opponent, and the strength behind the opponent, and after the conflict and bloodshed, a new equilibrium was re-established, although the new equilibrium did not seem to have changed much from the previous equilibrium, and it seemed that all the conflict and bloodshed had become useless - no matter for either side - but in fact, everything was different, in a sense, It is only now that one side truly sees the other as equal adversaries. Just like the war in the far East, where the beginning is the end.

In Paris, Joseph was arguing with Napoleon over who the Prometheus Prize should be awarded.

"Even if the medical prize is given to a foreigner, the first mathematics prize should be given to the French anyway." Napoleon said, "I confess that Monsieur Gauss is very good, very remarkable, but is not Monsieur Laplace, Monsieur Fourier, and Monsieur Glaranger? Joseph, you can't use power for personal gain just because Gauss is your assistant! ”

"Cut! Am I using my power for personal gain? I think you're using your power for personal gain! Don't think I don't know, you have taken the opportunity of building a higher normal school to try to seduce the people of the Academy of Sciences, and you want to rely on democratic voting in the future to get yourself an academician seat. You want to give the jackpot to Laplace, right? Laplace, he's always been with you! ”

After Napoleon became the first consul, an important task was to introduce compulsory education. In order to implement compulsory education, it is natural that a number of normal schools are needed. Napoleon then expanded the École Normale Supérieure (SC) into the École Normale Supérieure de Paris. A series of secondary normal schools have been established in other places.

Napoleon felt the great influence of his brother in the scientific world, especially at the University of Paris, which was about to become his independent kingdom. So Napoleon began to tilt resources towards the Parisian masters, consciously or unconsciously. Both in terms of funds, or in terms of personnel.

Using his influence, Napoleon succeeded in stuffing Laplace, Lagrange, Fourier, and Monges into the École Supérieure de Paris, making the École Supérieure de Paris almost mathematically comparable to that of the University of Paris.

Now, if this prize is given to Gauss, both awards will go to the University of Paris. But if it had been sent to Laplace or Glaranger, it would have been a few years since the École Supérieure de Paris had already competed with the University of Paris. As the de facto founder of the École de Paris, Napoleon naturally preferred the École de Paris to win the prize.

"Joseph, let's not be crooked, discuss things on a case-by-case basis, and don't always attack others from motives." Napoleon frowned and said, "I think there is a reason why this prize should be awarded to the French." Firstly, Mr. Laplace's own achievements deserve an award, and secondly, it can also enhance the national pride of the French people, the pride of the French people in leading the world in our science. Of course, I know you would say that there is nothing wrong with academically awarding the prize to Mr. Gauss, who is a great genius that is rare in a century, and we all know that, and we even think that he may be the Newton of mathematics. Moreover, awarding the grand prize to him can show the broad mind of France and make more foreign students willing to come to France. This is indeed important, but, Joseph, isn't there already a Carol? One is enough, right? ”

Since Napoleon said this, Joseph replied: "You are right, but Gauss is a German, a man of the Rhine League. The trust and support that the Germans have in us today is very important to us. In contrast, awarding a prize to Carroll is not a complete substitute for awarding a prize to Gauss. Because ......"

Speaking of this, Joseph smiled and said, "Carol's award is too uncontroversial. So this is not particularly a demonstration of France's fairness and generosity. As for the national pride of France, which you mentioned, the pride of France in being ahead of the world in our science. Is this kind of thing, when I'm still alive, need to use this kind of grand prize to get it? Isn't my existence far greater than any grand prize? ”

"You're arrogant." Napoleon said, "But...... Gauss is still young, so he can wait. ”

"It's as if both Laplace and Monsieur Grarangian are too old to live for two years. Monsieur Lavoisier was older than Laplace, and he was so loving...... He's willing to wait until next year. "Next year, we will give the prize in physics to one of them, and given that Mr. Gralange is the oldest, he will give it first, and the year after that it will be Laplace's turn." As for Gauss, at least for now, I don't think it's going to be possible to give him the physics prize next year. Well, let's do it. ”
