Edel did not explain too much to the captain of the guard about the price of food. He directly asked the captain of the guard what he should be concerned about now.
As for the king's request, Calust, as the captain of the guard, certainly did not dare to be careless. He immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have asked people to find out the background of these people. This is our report. The people now are working closely
We pay close attention to their every move and arrest them as soon as they act dangerously."
Edel took the investigation information handed to him by the chief of guard and started to look at it. This investigation information was an investigation conducted by Edel to investigate whether there were communist organizations in Romania and to find out the tendencies of the domestic left-wing parties.
In a few years, a red regime will appear to the east of him, which will threaten the system of the Kingdom of Romania, and Romania will also have territorial disputes with it. Therefore, he took precautions and checked domestic political parties in advance, which can be regarded as a preparation for Romania's domestic politics.
Clean up the environment first.
What makes Edel very gratified is that there is currently no communist organization in this Carust survey report. However, there are still organizations that are somewhat biased towards the communist situation. In recent years, the Romanian economy has been booming, allowing today’s workers to
The number has also grown significantly.
According to the latest statistics from the government department, there are now about 1.7 million workers in Romania. Workers are all educated (compared to farmers) and are more concerned about their own interests, so they are more enthusiastic about voting in parliamentary elections, which also makes
Political parties are aggressively trying to win over these working-class voters. In addition, Romanian political parties are still a bit unregulated, so various slogans that can be fulfilled or not are thrown in casually. Your campaign slogan today is to legislate to allow workers to work only 9 hours a day.
My slogan tomorrow is to allow workers to get more wages even if they work for 9 hours. The public opinion media also added fuel to the fire, saying that workers’ benefits here are not in place and their safety is not guaranteed. So the working class has been misled by these people.
, they always thought that they had been fooled by the factory owners, which made them resentful.
In fact, according to the government survey data, the most difficult situation in Romania is the farmers. Most of them depend on the weather and do not have their own land, so they can only make a living by renting crops. They also have to endure the scissor gap in industrial and agricultural products every year.
Therefore, they are the hardest working class. Otherwise, there is no way to explain that these farmers, who live a good life (as reported in the newspapers), still have a large number of people going to the city every year to become the hardest and most tiring workers.
"There are still quite a few of these organizations."
Edel sighed after reading this investigation report. Although there is no Communist Party, there are still many political groups similar to it in some aspects. For example, the Romanian Socialist Union, a political party formed in Galati in 1907
, they hope to unite workers through trade unions, seek benefits for workers, and make themselves bigger so that they can pass bills that benefit workers in parliament.
There is also the Romanian Social Democratic Party, a political party they established in 1910. Their political requirement is that Romanian citizens over 20 years old, regardless of gender, religion, or nationality, have the right to vote secretly. And their main economic requirement is that they work eight hours
system, collective contracts, protection of the rights and interests of child workers and female workers, free education and proportional payment of taxes, etc.
From the current point of view, these two political parties belong to the scope of Engels's Second Communist International. They still rely on parliament for elections and plan to pass bills that are beneficial to them. For these harmless left-wing baby parties
, Edel has no plans to clean up them. As long as they do not propose violent overthrow of the current government, and if necessary, Edel can also introduce the prime minister to take the blame.
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with these political parties?"
Captain Calust asked about Edel.
Regarding the words of the chief of guard, Edel said after thinking for a while. "First of all, we need to strengthen news control and let these newspapers pay communication media deposits, each of which pays 500,000 lei. The current deposit is too small and is not conducive to media communication.
specifications.”
Edel touched the stubble that had just grown on his chin and tried to think about the practices of the previous government. "Then workers can be given the power to strike and assemble, but this is the scope of government functions."
All Edel can think of is what the government needs to do. For the intelligence department in Caroust's hands, the only way is to get inside to understand whether the policy within the party has changed, which member has radical ideas, and who has radical ideas.
What slogan do you propose?
Thinking of this, Edel looked at the captain of the guard who had distorted his thinking and said, "To deal with them, of course, we need to penetrate inside and observe the dangerous speech elements among them. The rest depends on the thinking of you, the person in charge of intelligence."
Facing Edel's expression of "You've offended me," Calust, as the captain of the bodyguard, was confused and had no choice but to leave first.
"Your Majesty, then I will go back and think about it and come up with several ways to cooperate with your Majesty's idea."
Seeing the captain of the guard who was frightened by him, Edel stopped being angry immediately, and he spoke to Calust. "This issue is not mainly dependent on your intelligence department. On this issue, the most you can do is provide investigation work.
This requires government departments to pay attention to this issue, and you can be responsible for Anxin's intelligence investigation."
After hearing Edel's words, the captain of the guard, Calust, felt much relieved. He blamed himself for not asking more questions and almost got himself into trouble.
After the captain of the guard left, Edel thought about what he had said before. Now it seemed that in order to prevent the working class from being affected by the emergence of the red regime, he really needed to mention the issue of workers' treatment. Then he called the Prime Minister over to discuss the matter.
It is also an effective method.
After making up his mind, Edel called a guard and handed him a note written by himself. "Give this to Prime Minister Bretianu and ask him to burn it in front of you after reading it."
"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll go right away."
After the guard delivered the letter, Edel started other busy work.
Not long after, Prime Minister Brutianu, who was in the Prime Minister's Office, received a note from the king. Looking at the familiar words on the note, Prime Minister Brutianu burned the note in front of the guards.
He knew that this was another problem the king had given him. Because on this note, Edel asked him to pass Romania's first labor law.
Although this is a period of economic prosperity, Prime Minister Bretianu does not think that the factory owners are easy to talk to. If the king supports it, then he can pass this bill smoothly with the huge prestige of the royal family. And the king's actions are obviously not good.
He planned to provide explicit support, which made him very distressed.
At this time, the secretary walked in and said, "Prime Minister, His Excellency Karaturi is here."
Prime Minister Bretianu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly said, "Let the Minister of Industry come in."
