Chapter 707 [Chapter of the Fatal Game] One Hundred and Fifty Six: The Beginning of a New Era

Now, this march can be defined as a success!

As a person who participated in the entire negotiation process, Chen Yan was familiar with every benefit obtained by the marchers during the negotiations, including the minimum wage of 15 pence, the maximum working time of 10 hours a day, and the strict prohibition of child labor.

Introducing workers' insurance, setting up an enforcement agency for new laws in industrial zones, having representation in the House of Commons and more...

Unfortunately, there are still some issues left, such as the 1.3 times the normal overtime pay and 2 times the holiday overtime pay that the House of Representatives is determined not to let go, the citizenship status of most of the illegal immigrants among the marchers, and the most important pension system

etc……

The road of people fighting for interests is long and arduous. In the process, there will be gains but also sacrifices. Everything is an inevitable social process, but the acquisition of all interests will not be natural.

For Chen Yan, his most important realization about the whole incident is that people need more enlightenment!

They need to take fairness and justice for granted instead of fearing power when huge profits come.

They need to know that they are valuable and that safeguarding their own interests is the most legitimate thing in the world.

They need more learning and more knowledge. They want to escape from ignorance. Even if they cannot do it themselves, they must help the next generation escape from ignorance——

They need education, they need schools and teachers who can teach normal knowledge and values, and fortunately, the Internet can perfectly play the role of education!

‘Technology promotes the development of productivity, and the level of productivity determines the development level of education, because the level of productivity is the material basis for the development of education.’

Chen Yan had a clear understanding in his heart.

'Now, Yanan City and even the entire empire already have the soil for educational development. Even if I don't promote it, large-scale education for all people will appear. The knowledge I put into the Internet only speeds up this process.'

Chen Yan felt a sense of awe at this moment.

‘The periodic law comes as expected, and the underlying rules of the world are unbreakable and cannot be changed...’

He looked at the trio of congressmen waiting at the negotiating table with ugly faces, and heard the sudden ringing of the phone.

Freeman Stafford picked up the phone and heard Charles' voice:

"Congressman Freeman, we agree to the marchers' request for [the release of Chen Yan]."

Freeman Stafford’s heart beat half a beat slower:

"But my lord, how are we going to explain to James Adams?"

Charles replied:

"We will protect the Asian named Chen Yan until James Adams makes his own decision. As for the execution itself... the execution itself is not important. As long as James Adams needs it, Chen Yan can arrest and execute him at any time.

It can be done again at any time, and by that time, the marchers will not be able to stage another riot because of such a person - they cannot afford that price."

"And as long as we satisfy most of their demands and benefit them, they will be even less likely to risk losing their vested interests to save such a person who has nothing to do with their interests."

"And now - we can't refuse the marchers' demands now, because we can't let the entire negotiation collapse because of such an irrelevant person."

There was no doubt in Charles's voice:

"Chen Yan's life or death no longer matters. We agree to the demands of the marchers, give our commitment to the camera, put the commitment on paper, and then come back. We have more important things to do."

A few minutes later, countless firelights lit up again in the square in front of the Yanan City Hall.

Last night, a long dragon drawn by countless fires advanced all the way to here.

Now, the brighter flames left with victory and satisfaction.

People in Uptown looked at the renewed firelight and realized that they must have lost something, so they threw sharp instruments from the tall buildings in Uptown into the crowd of marchers, even though this simple act of venting their anger had no effect.

any effect.

A few minutes later, Chen Yan followed the three councilors to the Yanan City Council.

After listening to Charles' brief description, Chen Yan understood the current facts:

William Adams himself did not care about the life or death of Leonard Adams. As a pure businessman, he cared more about his own interests. All the incomprehensible measures before were all because of interests. The measures taken now and the motivations for all actions are also

Because of profit.

"Gentlemen, I can now confirm that the William Adams Group will not only not abandon Yanan City, but will also use strong means to try to inform the entire Yanan City market, just like they did in the Imperial Capital."

Charles' eagle eyes scanned the eyes of every congressman:

"They failed back then because the empire had not only the choir, but also the old nobles, the academies who had mastered all knowledge, and the extraordinary people who had established a complete system."

He changed the subject:

"Ya Nan City does not have any of these advantages."

He said word by word:

"The city of Yanam only has 30 million people!"

"The only people who can resist the super power of the William Adams Group are the people themselves! Therefore, I hereby propose that Yanan City return to the [Grand Council System] at the beginning of its establishment, and elect interest representatives from various groups at all levels of society to enter the Council.

Become a congressman and use the power of the entire society to fight against the merger of the William Adams Group!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his hands:

"If you agree, please raise your hands."

Other congressmen each have their own ideas, but they all know that today's situation is no longer controllable by the interest groups they represent. Times are changing all the time. If they want to continue to survive, they can only change themselves and give themselves up.

Part of the interests of the entire empire - the most powerful force in the entire empire, the Choir, has set an example for all other forces - change will lead to success, and change will lead to death.

Finally, the congressmen all raised their hands.

Charles' proposal was unanimously approved.

Charles took a deep breath, sat down, and took out a thick document that he had prepared:

"Now, gentlemen, let us see what we must do first."

…

…

Chen Yan looked at everything that happened in the chamber and felt sad in his heart.

The emergence of some key figures can often save the entire situation and even allow new shoots to sprout from the dead wood. Such people are often called "strong men descended from the sky."

Although Charles, the leader of the Conservative Party, is not that fierce, all his actions are on the verge of being a "macho man descended from heaven."

He has a clear understanding of the situation, does things unscrupulously, will not make stupid moves due to moral constraints, will not affect the overall situation because of his personal emotions, will not be blinded by the interests he represents, and is knowledgeable and courageous.

Such a person appeared in Yanan City, and he sat in such a position and made today's decision - no matter how he was in the past, he can really be called a "savior" now.

Yanan City is developing in a good direction, but Chen Yan is facing an embarrassing situation——

He can't find his way back to his body!
