The school can't take students, but it's causing housing prices to rise?

Arthur never imagined that the situation would go in this direction.

Nowadays, the house price in Newham District has risen by 30%, and the Yiling District has not increased significantly because it is a wealthy area, but there are still house price fluctuations.

Housing prices and rents are rising, but what is abnormal is the number of students enrolled, and in the huge Newham District, there are tens of thousands of school-age students, and only a little over 1,000 can attend classes in public schools.

And many of these more than 1,000 students come from other cities, and what could be more cost-effective than hiring an expensive tutor to get a quality education for your children at the expense of rent?

But that wasn't Arthur's intention.

Although the school district system allowed him to successfully set off the reform of public schools, it also allowed the residents of the slums to live a miserable life.

In order to pay the expensive rent, they have to work harder than before, and maybe they used to be able to buy a butterbeer after work to relieve their fatigue, but now they have to save on this beer, including the children at home, they have to work an extra job, and the whole family tightens their belts to make ends meet.

This.

Not what Arthur wanted to see.

Looking out the window at the gray sky, Arthur doubted himself for the first time.

"Am I doing something wrong?"

At the same time, at Clarence Palace, a burst of laughter erupted.

"The fourth prince, that idiot! He must be very disappointed now! ”

"He wants to be a hero, but what is the result? But he has become a person who brings pain to the people! ”

"Haha! I don't think it's long before he, the president, will be dismissed! ”

The cups collided with a crisp sound, and the nobles gathered together, sipping cigars and spitting Arthur fiercely.

The resentment that has accumulated these days seems to have come out together.

"Your Highness, why don't you speak?"

After talking and laughing, Earl Austin looked at the eldest prince who was drinking alone, and said strangely: "The fourth prince is deflated, aren't you happy?" ”

"I'm happy, but I'm not happy."

The eldest prince said lightly: "Have you ever thought that although Arthur has encountered a setback, the house price has also risen, so that Shukri and they can make a lot of money by selling the house."

"The second prince has bought too many houses, most of which are in North and South London, and there are basically no in East and West London, even if the house prices in Newham District rise, it will not help!" A nobleman said with a smile.

"But after the passage of the Education Reform Bill, the school district system will definitely be implemented, and it is only being piloted in Newham at the moment, but will those businessmen with a keen sense of smell take the opportunity to buy real estate in North and South London?" The eldest prince said in a deep voice: "If we can't even contain the Liberal Party's funds, what will the passage of the Education Reform Act bring us?" Shame? ”

The laughter in the room gradually subsided, and everyone looked at each other, suddenly realizing that it was not so ridiculous.

Arthur's frustration was certainly relieved, but on the other hand, the second prince's side was liberated.

Aren't they clowns?

Realizing this, the nobles fell silent, and the wine was not as crisp and refreshing as it had just been.

Flower Street, grocery store.

After reading the morning newspaper, Ma Wei sighed: "Arthur is in trouble. ”

"The Fourth Prince?"

Levin, whose mouth was stuffed with bread, took two bites and said in surprise: "What's wrong with him?" Didn't you just deflated the Conservatives? ”

"It has nothing to do with the Conservative Party, the trouble this time comes from the economy."

Ma Wei handed the newspaper to Levine and explained: "The school district housing has caused a large influx of foreign investment, housing prices have risen, and the wages of local residents are not enough to cope with the rising housing prices, which has reduced the quality of life and even made it impossible to make ends meet." ”

"It shouldn't be." Levin frowned and said, "Won't the influx of foreign capital increase the local employment rate?" Why is it the other way around? ”

"Because the real estate speculation group is bad capital and a market moth." "They don't provide extra jobs, they just buy houses, so that the price of housing will rise, and the rising house price will cause many companies to move out, and the number of jobs will decline, which is a negative impact," Ma Wei said quietly. ”

"So, is it a bad thing that house prices are rising?"

"It is normal for housing prices to rise steadily with inflation and will not cause a negative impact, but this increase in housing prices is due to the Education Reform Act, which is an artificially manipulated anti-economic growth phenomenon." "Housing prices are growing too fast, far faster than residents' incomes, and the gap between the two will get wider and wider, when a certain threshold is reached," Ma said.

Levine swallowed: "Reach a certain limit. What will happen? ”

"It's going to collapse completely." Ma Wei picked up the teacup and blew away the heat on it: "The high-speed rising housing market seems to be prosperous, but in fact most of them are bubbles, land is the most primitive means of production, but houses are not, houses do not have any output, it is a commodity, not a means of production." ”

"Houses are like jewelry, when the quantity is scarce, the price is naturally expensive, but what if the quantity increases?"

"This is the bubble, the economy built on the housing market is vain, without a foundation, a country wants to develop, must not rely on speculation, only the real pillar industry, in order to ensure economic stability."

Taking a sip of hot tea, Mavi continued: "Arthur is currently in a precarious situation, housing prices and rents are rising too fast, making the already poor residents even worse, and if they can't afford it, they will be kicked out of the house and put in a workhouse."

Levin shuddered, he still knows something about the population distribution of London, it is no secret, according to statistics, the most populous is East London, accounting for 4% of the total population of London, nearly half.

What is this concept?

This means that the whole of London, under the seemingly prosperous appearance, actually lives in slums!

In this case, once the housing prices were too high, half of the residents were displaced and went to workhouses

The whole social system is about to collapse!

You know, the residents of the slums are the pings that support the normal development of London!

Without the noble lord on his head, London would have no effect, but without the pinions. London won't be able to function properly!

"Looks like it's time," Mavi said, squinting his eyes.

"When? When? Levine was confused.

"The opportunity to build a Labour Party has come."

"East London has the largest number of workers, they have played a decisive role in the development of London, they have been neglected by the higher-ups, and now, with the emergence of the school district housing system, which has led to rising rents, and soon things will accelerate, what will happen to the workers who can't afford to eat?" ”

"There's only one way for them, and that's to fight!"

As the night wore on, the second floor of the Educators' Association was still lit up.

Arthur sat behind his desk, looking at the miserable enrollment statistics table, his expression extremely solemn.

Serious and slightly condensed eyes, I can't wait to burn a hole in the paper.

He was thinking about how to solve the problems caused by the school district housing system.

How do we make housing accessible to those who can't afford it?

If this looming problem is not addressed, then the Education Reform Act will become a yoke to oppress the people, and the original intention is good.

Arthur was a little anxious, he hadn't been so irritable for a long time, when was the last time he was irritable?

It seems to be a time to doubt Gulhanna's identity.

Squeak

The sound of the chair dragging came, and Arthur raised his head and made eye contact with Mavi, who was sitting across from him with his daughter in his arms.

The dimly lit room, almost the same orientation, suddenly, Arthur seemed to have returned to New Ross City, back to the underground secret room where he first met Mavey.

"Father."

"Your Highness, you seem to have something on your mind."

"Aren't you irritable if it were you?"

"I think you should be happier than irritable."

"I don't know what you mean."

Arthur couldn't find a reason to be happy.

"Here's your chance."

"What chance?"

"An opportunity to form a Labour Party."

With a shock in his heart, Arthur asked in a deep voice, "Do you want to take advantage of the school district housing system this time?" ”

Ma Wei smiled: "Your Highness, although the school district housing system has caused rents to rise, it has also exposed the crisis hidden under the surface of London's vanity. ”

"This crisis will leave many people without their jobs and displaced."

"At the same time, it will ignite the spirit of resistance among many workers, just like the Glorious Revolution many years ago."

In the past, Mavi did not have the confidence to unite the workers, because the Kingdom of Windsor is a major producer, and with its own technological superiority, it has been absorbing the blood of other countries to make up for itself, and the people do not feel threatened.

This time, there was a problem within the kingdom of Windsor, with untimely and inflated housing prices disrupting the kingdom's economy and making it impossible for the people who were already on the subsistence line to make ends meet.

Hunger will inspire the spirit of struggle among the people, and that day they will not be able to stand the exploitation of the capitalists, and that day they will ignite the anger in their hearts, that day. They will be united.

Everything, just a Mars.

After thinking for a long time, Arthur suddenly smiled, as if the pressure on his shoulders had suddenly eased a lot: "Priest, the most powerful thing about you is your control of human nature, everyone has their own good things, and you are doing what you are best at. ”

"The same goes for you."

After a pause, Ma Wei asked, "Have you found a good candidate?" ”

"The Knights of the Round Table have been ready for a long time." Arthur said, "And the West Island councillors who support me, they are all waiting for this day." ”

"I'll help you, you'll be in charge of setting up the Labour Party, you'll be in charge of building a trade union, and I'll be in charge of building a chamber of commerce, and we'll work together inside and outside."

"Okay."

"You want to start a chamber of commerce?"

At the Nightingale Club, the eldest prince looked at Russell Benjamin, who suddenly visited, and said in amazement: "Why do you suddenly have such thoughts?" ”

"I didn't come up with the idea, but the councillors behind me, who thought it would be safe." Ma Wei said: "To be precise, I want to be the president of the chamber of commerce, not the current chamber of commerce." ”

Although the difficulty of becoming the president of the chamber of commerce is lower than that of banning the existing chamber of commerce, it is not much lower.

"If you count the strength of the northern nobles, you can be the president of the Chamber of Commerce, but you don't have enough qualifications to convince the public"

The eldest prince persuaded: "Why should a good person be the president of the Chamber of Commerce? That's not a good job. ”

"I'd like to give it a try." Ma Wei said: "If you can get your support from Your Highness, there is still a great chance of winning." ”

"If it was half a year ago, who would be the president of the Chamber of Commerce was just a matter of my words, but now the situation is different."

The eldest prince shook his head: "If you open the president's vote, the final winner is likely to be Nicholas, and now he is much higher than you in terms of strength and prestige, and you have no chance of winning when competing with him." ”

"Nicholas, who holds both the Potions Company and the Council, should no longer compete for the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce." Ma Wei said.

"How do you know?"

"I guess."

“.”

Rubbing his eyebrows, the eldest prince had a headache, Arthur had already made a fuss before, and now Russell Benjamin started again, learning the lesson of the last time, this time he didn't dare to use any more commanding tone: "Even if Nicholas doesn't participate in the competition, there will be many Liberal Party members participating this time, in terms of business, the Conservative Party is not as good as the Liberal Party If you have made up your mind, I will assist you, but there is no guarantee of the result." ”

"That's enough." Ma Wei smiled and said, "Thank you Your Highness for your support." ”

Running for president of the Chamber of Commerce is to support Arthur's next actions.

The corresponding to the Labor Party is the Chamber of Commerce, and the wages of workers are also directly linked to the interests of businessmen.

If he becomes president, Ma Wei can support the Labour Party in many ways, or sow discord among the capitalists.

With London's house prices rising day by day, there was not much time left for Mavi to prepare, and the day after he received the support of the eldest prince, Mavey filed a re-election with the Chamber of Commerce as Russell Benjamin.

Originally, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Sir Dress, was a henchman of the second prince, but this time the election of the president was suddenly opened, which caught everyone off guard, and many businessmen gathered together, their faces were a little ugly, and the exchanges were non-stop.

"Who is Russell Benjamin?"

"I don't know, I've never heard of it."

"It seems that a merchant from Edinburgh, who was recently elected councillor of the town of Blomley, is very close to the Grand Prince."

"It's ridiculous that a little-known man would dare to run for the presidency of the Chamber of Commerce in London? When did northern merchants dare to set foot in London? The eldest prince is really getting more and more bottomless! ”

"Shhhh The Marquis of Brecon is sitting across from him! ”

There are many businessmen who participate in the election meeting, from all parties and families, and there are all kinds of people, but in general, the Liberal Party accounts for more of them.

The eldest prince is right, the Chamber of Commerce is indeed the territory of the Liberal Party, and it is not a battlefield for the Conservatives and the Liberal Party, because everyone is a businessman, and destroying the business environment is harming their own interests, who would do this?

Because of this, today's election did not attract the attention of the Liberal Party, the second prince did not come, Ma Wei did not come, including Smith, Stewart and more than a dozen other Liberal businessmen did not show up and automatically abstained.

The voting soon began, and the aged Sir Dresser was slowly drinking his tea, looking confident, but the final result of the vote surprised him.

"Sir Dresser 35 votes, Russell Benjamin 37 votes, 13 abstentions."

The Marquis of Brecken looked at the voting results with a surprised face, obviously a little incredulous: "The new president of the Chamber of Commerce is"

"Russell Benjamin?"
