The Education Reform Act was passed.

When leaving the Houses of Parliament, the second prince held his head high and had a smug smile on his face, while the eldest prince looked furious.

The eldest prince knew that he had fallen into the trap of the second prince, but he couldn't do anything, the bill was passed by vote, and when the upper and lower houses were passed, the cabinet and the king had no ability to stop the bill, not to mention that the cabinet and the king would not help him.

The Cabinet knew about the three princes' struggle for succession, and so did Rhodes IV. What can you do if you know?

Even if Rhodes IV gathered them together and told them to stop competing, would they listen?

There are some things that cannot be stopped from the beginning.

Rhodes IV only hoped that they would not get into trouble to the point of fratricide.

After the meeting, many councillors came to Kensington Palace, scrambling to see the second prince, who did not want to see him, but had to do so.

"Your Highness! If the policy of renting and selling the same rights is implemented, then our calculation will be in vain! ”

Senator Girard was emotional and spittle: "People don't need to buy a house at all, they just need to pay cheap rent to qualify for school!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness! We used all the money to buy a house, and if we couldn't sell it, we would be completely trapped! ”

A sense of panic permeated the living room, and even the usual high-ranking councillors were a little helpless at the moment, and the plan was completely disrupted, and the eldest prince played a good card and succeeded in turning their hopes to nothing.

"Everyone, please calm down, it's useless to be anxious."

The second prince took a puff of his cigar, sighed and said, "Although it is the same right to rent and sell, we can not rent it out!" Wouldn't it be nice to just sell and not rent? ”

This is indeed a non-remedy way, only selling but not renting, forcing people to buy houses, although this kind of behavior is dirty, but it is really useful.

But

"Your Highness, I don't recommend just selling and not renting." Ma Wei said suddenly.

"Why?"

"First of all, this kind of policy will have a bad reputation impact on Your Highness, and secondly, there are many houses in London, which are far from being difficult to find, even if we don't rent them out, people still won't buy houses."

"So what are we going to do?" A congressman asked: "The money has already been invested, so you can't smash it in your hands!" Why do I need so many houses? ”

Seeing that everyone wanted you to be noisy again, the second prince hurriedly signaled everyone to be quiet, but everyone just wanted a solution, and the second prince couldn't give it.

"You can really make money buying a house."

While everyone was silent, Ma Wei continued: "Housing prices in London are bound to rise, I don't believe you look at 50 years ago, the price of an apartment in London was only a few gold pounds, now it has increased several times, and it will be the same in the future. ”

"According to the normal trend of economic development, the currency will slowly depreciate, but this does not mean that the house has increased in value, the house is just an investment product used to fight inflation, we want it to increase in value, only in this way can we make money!" Smith, a jeweler, said that he also had a good business acumen, and sometimes even the second prince had to ask him for advice.

"Yes, but it's not normal right now." Ma Wei said: "Please think carefully, once the public school system is reformed and a new public school is established, even if nothing is done, the house prices in London will increase, because London is not a closed internal circulation market, it is the economic center of the Kingdom of Windsor, which is closely related to other cities!" ”

"You only see one city of London, but you ignore the whole kingdom of Windsor!"

Being reminded like this, the second prince reacted violently: "The public school system was first carried out in London, as long as the public school is established, not only the residents in London will choose the school, but even the people in the surrounding towns will flock to it, so that the housing prices in London will rise!" ”

"Rising housing prices will drive the economy, and when the environment is good, the people will earn more, and at this time, if we remarket women, we can still make money!"

The economy is a circle, which will always have an impact on all walks of life, and the second prince only saw the housing prices before, but ignored the economic benefits brought by the rise in housing prices, including the women's market, which will also usher in vitality.

Smith asked the maid to bring pen and paper, buried herself in the math, and finally came to a conclusion:

If the second prince is right.

The Kingdom of Windsor is about to usher in a golden age of economic growth!

What is this?

Is it crooked?

Smith shook his head with a smile and told his inference, hearing that housing prices would not only rise, but also usher in a golden period of the economy, everyone suddenly became excited, and the previous tension was swept away.

"So, the Conservative Party's proposal for the same right to rent and sell has no effect on us at all?"

"The impact is definitely there." The second prince spat out a puff of smoke: "The same right to rent and sell will affect the sale of the house, after all, many people do not have enough money to buy a house, and they dare not take a loan for decades." ”

The consequence of the same right to rent and sell is nothing more than to lengthen the cycle of capital return, the second prince originally planned to sell all the acquired houses within a year, which is very profitable, but now it seems that this cycle is going to be extended indefinitely.

When it will be returned, no one can say.

In the short term, the Liberals will not be able to make much move, providing opportunities for the Conservatives to take advantage of, but in the long term, today's investments will bear fruit in the future.

Here's the problem

When will the bright future come.

"Your Highness, there is one more trouble." Councillor Gordon, who controls Thames Bank, hesitated: "We have bought too many houses this time and used a lot of money if we can't get it back. Thames could fall into an economic crisis as a result. ”

"Is the situation troublesome?"

"It's not very troublesome, according to the normal deposit and withdrawal behavior of depositors, the bank will not be affected, but I am afraid that depositors will withdraw a large amount of money, in which case, Thames Bank will face a bankruptcy crisis."

"Are you afraid that Charles will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble?"

Gordon nodded, he just wanted to say this.

Once the eldest prince released the news that Thames Bank was out of money, depositors would rush to withdraw money, which was tantamount to the last straw for Thames Bank, which had a poor cash turnover.

Banks are not only banks, they have trust funds, stocks, loan investments and other businesses behind them, and Thames Bank is one of the top three largest banks in the Kingdom of Windsor.

With the loss of the Thames Bank, the second prince lost the most powerful financial support.

It is completely unrealistic to rely on the following councilors, the second prince knows in his heart that these people can only share wealth and prosperity, not weal and woe, and they are more active than anyone else when making money, and they need to pay for help, and they shrank their necks and kept silent.

"If Mr. Nicholas had been willing to help, Thames might have been able to weather this crisis."

Gordon looked at Marvey and proposed, "Manstein Potions can lend money to foreign banks as a guarantee to help Thames Bank. ”

"No way!"

Without waiting for Ma Wei to speak, the second prince sternly refused: "Risk hedging is definitely not good!" Let Manstein Potions vouch for what if it doesn't save Thames? Is it possible to get Nicholas to declare the company bankrupt again? ”

The Manstein Potions Company is currently the most important thing for the second prince, and whoever goes bankrupt cannot go bankrupt, and even has to give priority to protection, and he will never agree to the stupid thing of sending himself to the single-plank bridge as a guarantee for the Thames Bank!

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood what I meant." Gordon said: "Councilor Nicholas is the only potions distributor designated by the Church, and Manstein Potions Company is currently the giant that controls the international market, the Church will not let it go bankrupt, and in case of crisis, the Church of the Goddess of Fate will definitely come to the rescue." ”

Behind the Manstein Potions Company is the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, once the Church comes forward, this crisis will be resolved naturally, if nothing else, the Pope will come forward and call on the believers to calm down and believe in Thames Bank is enough.

The second prince never thought that a small "Education Reform Act" would cause such a big trouble.

He just wanted to make some money at first

The hesitant second prince asked, "Nicholas, what do you think?" ”

Ma Wei smiled and said calmly, "I listen to His Highness's orders. ”

The collapse of Manstein Potions is unlikely in the short term.

The reason is simple, behind the Manstein Potions Company is not only the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, but also the support of the Romanov Kingdom.

The two big countries helped each other, and Ma Wei really didn't know how the company should go bankrupt.

Just because of a run on withdrawals?

Thames may be shaken by this, but neither will Manstein's Potions.

Ma Wei didn't mind guaranteeing Thames Bank, and with the support of foreign banks, his purpose had been achieved.

The Education Reform Act was passed, and the biggest beneficiary was not the eldest prince or the second prince, but the fourth prince Arthur.

Who are the specific implementers of a series of measures such as the construction of public schools and the establishment of a school district system?

Arthur, of course, who is the president of the Educators Association.

In short, it is up to him to decide how the school district is divided.

And Arthur's favorite thing to do is to fund orphanages.

Ma Wei has long discovered this hobby, especially in recent months, after becoming the president of the Educators Association, there have been more and more orphanages funded by Arthur, and it is estimated that they have exceeded 100.

Originally, these children would not go to school, but if it was the order of the sponsor Arthur, the orphanage who wanted to continue to receive funding would naturally not dare to stop it.

Children in orphanages can attend free public schools and learn about them.

The children in the orphanage were either abandoned by their parents, or they lost their parents, in short, no one wanted them, and they were abandoned since childhood, and with the help of Arthur, what would they think?

Ma Wei has some understanding, although he is not an orphan, but in the Great Famine ten years ago, his parents starved to death, and he was taken away by the Crowley family, and even today, he still has a good impression of the Crowley family.

If it weren't for the Crowley family, he would have been exposed to the wilderness long ago.

For anyone who knows how to be grateful, this kind of kindness will be remembered in the heart, and even if only one out of ten people knows how to be grateful, Arthur can gain a large group of crazy fans.

If this group of supporters learns knowledge, the elite among them may be adopted by the aristocracy, and then enter all levels of society when they grow up.

Ma Wei didn't dare to think about it.

Sometimes, he would feel sorry for Arthur's situation.

If it weren't for the gods, Arthur would probably be able to sit on the throne with his own strength.

After the arrival of the gods, he was forced by the situation to seek the protection of the gods, and even so, he continued to carry out his plans in an orderly manner.

Wise, sensitive, calm.

It's hard for this kind of person to succeed or not.

Hearing that Ma Wei was willing to guarantee the Thames Bank, the second prince was a little moved.

He knew that Ma Wei could sit idly by, Manstein Potions had not received any help from the Thames Bank, and this problem had nothing to do with Manstein Potions, but Ma Wei was still willing to vouch.

Whose face is this?

The second prince felt that there should be no one else except himself.

The other silent parliamentarians were in stark contrast to Ma Wei, and it was needless to say who was more trustworthy.

A few days later, the news of the failure of the Thames Bank appeared in the newspapers, and as soon as the news was published, it immediately caused an uproar, and depositors lined up to withdraw their deposits, and the Thames Bank had to transfer funds from all over the country, even so, it was announced three days later that the funds were in an emergency.

On the day of the news publication, Mavi went to visit the president of the London branch of the Royal Bank of Berlin and signed a guarantee agreement in the name of Manstein Potions, which clearly stated that the Royal Bank of Berlin would borrow money from Thames Bank, and Thames Bank would have to pay a high interest rate for a period of one year, within which Thames Bank would have to repay the loan, otherwise it would replace the loan with a 10% stake in Manstein's Potions.

With the support of the Royal Bank of Berlin, the pressure on the Bank of Thames plummeted, and a large amount of gold marks were converted into gold pounds and shipped into the bank every day, and then paid to depositors, and the withdrawal turmoil lasted for half a month, until the Bank of Thames announced an increase in the deposit rate, which completely subsided.

During the Thames Bank run, the establishment of a public school also officially began, and Arthur's behavior stunned everyone, and he really set off a reform. It's not so much a reform as it is a table lift.

After the passage of the Education Reform Act, Arthur signed his first executive order to dismiss everyone, including teachers and principals, on the same day.

As soon as the dismissal order was issued, it caused an immediate uproar, and countless people came to protest, but Arthur ignored the protesters and issued a second executive order - teacher evaluation.

Only those who have passed the teacher examination can obtain a teaching qualification certificate issued by the Educators Association, and at the same time, only those who have passed the teacher examination can hold the position of teacher in public schools.

The assessment is not only an academic assessment, but also a moral review, even if you get a teacher qualification certificate, you must accept regular inspections by the educators association, once the teacher's ethics do not meet the standard, you will be immediately disqualified as a teacher, and you will never be hired.

In return, there is a generous annual stipend for public school teachers, which is given by the Educators' Association to attract excellent educators.

If that's all, Ma Wei doesn't feel anything, what really makes him admire is that Arthur issued an executive order to allow girls over the age of 16 to serve as teachers, although there have been cases of female tutors in the past, but there has never been a place for women in public school teachers.

At the cost of Arthur's overwhelming accusations and doubts.
