Chapter three hundred and sixty-four, distribution
The workers did not intend to continue to stalemate. This strike was mainly due to the government's crackdown on the "United Trade Union". The workers also understood that if there were no "United Trade Union", then the factory owners would increase their labor intensity and reduce their wages while reducing their wages.
But if the French had not had the strong intervention of the French and the "Holy Lady of Labor" brought wheat and potato porridge to everyone, the strike would have been unable to persist. Now that the French also suggested not to continue the stalemate, and although the "United Trade Union" was not preserved, the "Workers United Club" was actually the same thing, just a brand change. Therefore, everyone felt that there was nothing unacceptable.
Moreover, as long as the workers and workers' representatives who were arrested were still alive, most of them were acquitted because of "insufficient evidence". As for those who had been sentenced to hard labor, they also "I appealed, after court research, believed that there were flaws in the trial process and sent them back to retrial", and then they were acquitted because of "insufficient evidence" during the retrial. Although they did not know that they had "appelled" until they were released and returned to their homes, and they had experienced two trials. However, on the government, the appeals, rulings and the documents of the two trials were clearly clear.
So soon after, the new "London Textile Workers United Club" was announced on the old address of the original "London Textile Workers Federation". Gervin Plain delivered a brief speech at the founding conference, saying that the "club" will continue to benefit the workers, and hope that the workers can trust and support the "club" as before.
Immediately afterwards, Polina, who was dressed in men's clothing, also delivered a speech congratulating the establishment of the "Club", and proposed that the "Club" not only becomes the home of male workers, but also the home of female workers. Even because female workers are oppressed more severely, the club should pay more attention to the situation of female workers and child workers. She said that she hopes that in the future, she can see female representatives appear in the "Club".
However, for well-known reasons, British newspapers did not report on this matter, and the French newspapers did not report a lot. The pages were arranged very much. Because the French were busy showing off their achievements in science.
Then there was the labor-management negotiations on the strike. Because everyone had plans to temporarily stop, the negotiations between the labor and capital were very smooth, and soon the two sides reached an agreement. It was just that the number of strikes in the past year has been more frequent, so in order to complete the order and avoid huge fines, the capital needs the workers to slightly increase their labor intensity and extend their labor time. Of course, this is not free, and the capital will also provide certain financial compensation for the increased labor.
In addition, Mr. Renn, the representative of the capital, also proposed that recently Whig members proposed a proposal to reform constituencies. This proposal is beneficial to both the capital and the vast majority of labor.
However, the conservative men in the countryside are really not civilized, and they have more members of parliament. If they want to change the constituency structure, those capitalists need to put some pressure on the government and create a certain momentum. When creating momentum, they need to rely on the power of workers with many people.
"Let me say this, we hope you can sign the petition submitted by our representatives to express your support and send representatives to attend the ceremony of our petition submission. Of course, we are willing to express kindness and help to you - for example, your meeting place is too small and too dilapidated. If you support us, we are willing to help you renovate the place. In addition, if you delay your work and support us, we are willing to provide financial compensation." Rennes finally said.
If it was the previous Fei Jin, he should be able to immediately realize Renne's intention - he would take this opportunity to win over and corrupt some workers' representatives. However, Gevin Pran did not react so quickly. He was relatively slow. In a sense, he was not the most ideal successor in Fei Jin's heart, he was just a spare part for Fei Jin.
Spare parts are different from successors. The task of spare parts is only for the most difficult period after an accident. Therefore, when cultivating spare parts, he pays more attention to his stability. Butcher, or Gervin Plain, has a firm and steady personality, is a good spare part, but his mind and knowledge are not enough to take on the task of leading the group for a long time. In the heart of Feijin, Oliver is the successor he really values.
However, Gervin Plan has one advantage, that is, he knows that he is not smart enough and always slows down when thinking about problems, so he never makes decisions in a hurry. Of course, this approach may sometimes miss opportunities, but no one is perfect. As a spare part, stability is the most important thing. Compared to those guys who don’t know how many bowls of rice they can eat, Gervin Plan is already quite good.
So he said to Renn: "Mr. Renn, we will give you an answer after a collective discussion."
"Ah, the necessary caution is virtue, I can understand it," said Ren.
So the strike of the British textile industry came to an end. After competing with each other, everyone had a general understanding of the power of their opponents and the power behind them. After experiencing conflicts and bleeding, a new balance was re-established. Although the new balance point did not seem to have any major changes from the balance point in the past, it seemed that all conflicts and bleeding had become useless - no matter whether it was for either side - but in fact, everything was different. In a sense, one party truly regarded the other party as an equal opponent. Just like in the distant East in the future, the war where the starting point was the end.
At this time in Paris, Joseph was arguing with Napoleon about who the Prometheus Prize should be given to.
"It's fine if the medical prize is given to foreigners. The first math prize should be given to the French anyway." Napoleon said, "I admit that Mr. Gauss is very powerful, very amazing, but Mr. Laplace, Mr. Fourier, and Mr. Grarange, aren't it? Joseph, you can't use your power for personal gain just because Gauss is your assistant!"
"Tsk! I use my power for personal gain? I think you use your power for personal gain! Don't think I don't know. You took advantage of the opportunity to build a higher normal and worked hard to seduce people from the Academy of Sciences, and want to rely on democratic voting in the future to get yourself an academician spot. Do you want to give the grand prize to Laplace? That guy Laplace, he and you have always been in the same group!"
After Napoleon became the first in power, an important task was to promote compulsory education. To promote compulsory education, a number of normal schools were naturally needed. So Napoleon expanded the original undergraduate normal school affiliated to Louis King's School into Paris Higher Normal School. A series of secondary normal schools were established in other places.
Napoleon deeply felt his brother's huge influence in the scientific community, especially at the University of Paris, which was almost his independent kingdom. So Napoleon began to entice resources to the Higher Education Division of Paris intentionally or unintentionally, whether it was funds or personnel.
Using his influence, Napoleon successfully stuffed Laplace, Lagranges, Fourier and Monge into the Paris Higher Teachers, which made the Paris Higher Teachers almost compete with the University of Paris in mathematics.
Now if this grand prize is given to Gauss, both grand prizes will fall to the University of Paris. But if it is given to Laplace or Grarange, it means that the Higher Education Division, which has only been established for a few years, will be in strife with the University of Paris. As the actual creator of the Higher Education Division, Napoleon naturally hopes that the people of the Higher Education Division of Paris will win the award.
"Joseph, let's not be chaotic, just discuss things, and don't always attack others with motivation." Napoleon frowned and said, "I think there is a reason why this grand prize should be given to the French. First of all, Mr. Laplace's own achievements deserve the award, and secondly, this can also enhance the French's national pride and the French people's pride that our science is ahead of the world. Of course, I know you would say that it is no academic problem to award the grand prize to Mr. Gauss. Mr. Gauss is a great genius who is rare in a century. We all know that we even think that he may be Newton in mathematics. And giving the grand prize to him can show France's broad mind and make more foreign students willing to come to France. This is indeed very important, but Joseph, hasn't there already a Carol? Has one enough?"
Since Napoleon said this, Joseph replied: "You are right, but Gauss is a German, a member of the Rhine League. Now the Germans' trust and support for us are very important to us. In contrast, giving awards to Carol cannot completely replace giving awards to Gauss. Because..."
Speaking of this, Joseph smiled and said, "The award from Carol is too uncontroversial. So this is not particularly a demonstration of France's fairness and generosity. As for the national pride of France you mentioned, France's pride that our science is ahead of the world. Does this kind of thing need to be won with such a grand prize when I am still alive? Isn't my existence far more than any grand prize?"
"You are so arrogant," said Napoleon. "But... Gauss is still young, so you can wait."
"It seems that Laplace and Mr. Glarange are old enough to not live for two years. Mr. Lavoisier is older than Laplace, and he is still so loving... He is willing to wait until next year." Joseph said. "Next year, we can give the prize of physics to one of them. Considering that Mr. Glarange is the oldest, we will give it to him first, and the year after that will be Laplace's turn. And Gauss, at least now, I think it is impossible to give the prize of physics to him next year. Well, just do it like this."
