In the hands of the Bologna School? Frances was startled.
Roy looked forward and spoke calmly: "Let's not talk about the mysterious factors behind secular politics for now. Let's talk about the mysterious factors in the second point."
"Do you know how this group of people has gradually eroded the power of the House of Lords and allowed the new reform bill to pass every step of the vote smoothly?"
"There are many aristocratic families in the House of Lords. Those traditional aristocrats who rely on land, manors, castles and art collections. Nowadays, the rate of regeneration of wealth is getting slower and slower than in the past! Some of them cannot keep up with the trend and can only invest in land.
It was transferred or leased to the factory owners, and they received some profits from revitalizing the idle assets; there were also some business-minded people, or non-direct descendants who failed in the family struggle and did not inherit the title, so they chose to open factories or go overseas.
Robbery. They have made a fortune, but in the process of accumulating wealth, they have become inextricably linked to the House of Commons, changing from traditional aristocrats to industrial aristocrats!"
"Even those who did not expand their business territory, their descendants, descendants of descendants, some have become outstanding lawyers, doctors, engineers or civil servants through their own diligence, and have become middle-class people who provide high-end services to factory owners.
Representative of the elite!"
"Families are spread out, marry each other, and exchange what they need. The upper and lower houses, down to each individual, do you think the division of power in Congress today is still as clear-cut as it was a hundred years ago? Political struggles have never been based on
To eliminate the opponent as a means, their main gameplay is 'you have me, I have you'"
"Go on." Frances said in a serious tone.
She is a sensible person.
The other party's conclusion just doesn't sound that explicit on the surface. What it actually means is that not only is the House of Commons threatening, but the members of the House of Lords themselves are already unstable, and their purity of loyalty has been declining.
.
The key point is that this is not a conspiracy to "incite rebellion" or "bribery".
This is the result of the long-term effects of many complex social factors from generation to generation.
The trend of the times is difficult to reverse!
"That's it." Roy smiled calmly at this time, "Who doesn't know how to play the game of 'I am part of you, and you are part of me'? Are there any congressmen and family members who do not need education? Everyone
Is there any family that has interacted with the upper class and heard secret rumors that doesn’t want their family members to be absorbed into the official organization?”
Many members of the House of Lords from aristocratic families are influenced by the "wealth" of the House of Commons, so these members of the House of Commons can also be influenced by the "learning" of the House of Lords!
While Frances was deep in thought, a certain cold aura spread out inch by inch.
"Roy, I see you are an adventurist."
"You are not solving the problem of power transfer in Congress, but you are proposing to change the track!"
"Madam Speaker, I must remind you." Roy turned aside the documents and signatures and pushed them out. "For more than nine hundred years, the Bologna School has always been an 'academic school' in the world's perception.
'Study Valve'."
"Academics are not plutocrats! Wealth is just a product of our mastery of knowledge inheritance and education system!"
"Don't fight politics for the sake of political struggle. The history of the struggle between the Congress and the Cabinet, the history of the struggle between the House of Lords and the House of Commons are just the manifestation of the secret struggle organized by these knowledgeable people. And all our pride and mystery
The total strength is the more than 100 public schools in the empire! - I did not propose to change the track, I was just trying to bring some schools that have gone astray back to the main path."
Frances had to nod her head: "I admit that the first and second conditions you proposed inspired me, but the third point, what are you thinking about? 'Agree to cut the annual financial budget of public schools, increase the imperial cultural industry tax rate, etc.
Quantity replacement'?"
"I know that the guys in the Special Inspection Office have bad intentions. After the power of financial bills is completely devolved to the House of Commons, it is difficult to predict whether the public budget of public schools will be affected next. We completely rely on the moral level of the other party, but we are not
There is no room for struggle. Now you have directly agreed to the cuts and asked them to cut you. The condition is only the cultural industry market? How much tax rate can you increase? What can you do with that little increase? "
"Carolen Van Ning is coming back." Roy just responded lightly.
"" Silence fell in the air for a moment, and Frances pondered for a long time.
The controversial and legendary young man who once created countless artistic miracles and then disappeared briefly.
The silent thinking continued until a piece of gray letter paper suddenly appeared on the table.
"Um?"
A confidential person from the school of thought has sent news from the waking world.
After Frances read the words on the letter, her face was different from her previous serious working style, and she instantly became extremely gloomy and solemn.
"What's wrong?" Roy instinctively felt that something was not good.
"The contact note from the Special Patrol Office, the seven-year discussion group roundtable meeting has entered the preparatory stage, requiring us to submit attendance receipts!" Frances handed over the letter paper.
Discussion group roundtable!! Roy naturally knows the weight behind this term.
She saw that underneath the concise sentence, there was a circle of signature steel seal with a light cyan glow.
Not everyone has the right to notify, initiate and convene this meeting.
There is only one initiator, convener and host.
Leader of the discussion group, director of the Special Patrol Department, Pogorelic!
And the people who have the right to attend have already exceeded the level of the president of any school, the pope of the church, etc. Each official organization has only one discussion group member - the order enforcer behind them!
The head of a secular country only "attends" and can speak when allowed by the host, but does not have the right to vote!
1 group leader, 2 votes; 5 discussion group members representing official organizations, 5 votes; 4 heads of state representing the country, no voting rights.
10 people, 7 votes, the scope of the topic is the problem of abnormal zone proliferation and a series of mysterious decision-making issues derived from this problem. This is the common composition pattern of previous discussion group roundtables!
"It's indeed time." Roy quickly looked away from the circle of signature steel seals. Looking at it for a little too long caused a sharp pain like cutting in her eyes. "According to Pogorelic's habit,
He often convenes this roundtable meeting on the eve of the Harvest Art Festival held every seven years.”
This is also the time when the enforcers of the official organization meet most closely. Usually these people are scattered in secret corners of Yiyong and Huita to study and meditate, and they all rely on messengers to contact and discuss matters.
"Madam Speaker, now that the contact letter has arrived as scheduled, just inform our 'advisor' to attend the meeting. Is there any difficulty?"
Frances' brows became more serious:
"Our 'consultant' has been out of contact for a long time!"
