"There are still more than four months before the deadline, right?" Roy frowned, "Isn't it too early to discuss this issue now?"
She started preparing for the establishment of the institute in August of the year before last. She negotiated the matter with her father and the school and went through some twists and turns.
The process was unclear, and a two-year deadline was finally agreed upon.
I originally thought that my father was talking about an approximate duration, and I also thought about postponing it until at least the end of the Harvest Art Festival.
Unexpectedly, I started to "call" me back four months in advance.
"From the perspective of the school's personnel work, planning for a middle-level position, such as a public principal, requires at least three months in advance to vacate the position, sort out the work, identify outstanding high-level members, and listen to the opinions of all parties. This is only a middle-level position.
"
"So, Teacher Roy, do you think your rhetorical question reflects your level?"
It was obviously not a wise choice to get into an argument with the female speaker's boss who was specialized in the field. Roy's face did not show any negative emotions, and he just said lightly:
"Strictly calculating, the deadline is August 25 this year. If I return to the school and take charge of the specific affairs, I will rectify the art teaching system and evaluation system of all public schools to improve the hematopoietic ability of high-level 'characters'
, to adapt to today’s understanding of the promotion management and control mechanism.”
When Roy said these words, Frances's eyes softened slightly.
At least, this young lady still has a clear plan in mind.
The answer was straightforward, not avoiding the discussion or delaying the matter.
The direction she mentioned is indeed the current central work of the school.
Of course, any systematic matter is complicated, and this matter is very difficult.
Judging from the performance of Turner Theaters over the past year, there are only some bright spots that can be learned from.
Moreover, in Frances’ view, their highlight lies mainly in “making money”.
There are more than 100 public schools in the empire. How many generations of accumulation of schools is that? In contrast, the Turner Art Academy is too large and relies entirely on spending money. Its teaching staff relies heavily on academics and church schools, and its work focus is
Half of it is for public welfare and popularization, and its performance in the exploration of modern music over the past year has been mediocre. In short, it cannot be completely regarded as a standard.
"However," Roy changed his tone at this time, "Smarter leaders can see that if I continue to maintain in-depth cooperative relations with the theaters, the benefits to the school will only be greater."
Of course, she still hopes that everything will transition smoothly until the Harvest Art Festival.
"oh?"
Frances, who originally had a "fair-minded" attitude towards Turner Theaters, suddenly had a "collision" between the thoughts in her mind and Roy's conclusive statement.
The corner of her mouth twitched slightly and then recovered, she turned the pile of documents in her hand and pointed it at Roy's side.
"Just in time, the topic seamlessly transitioned to the next thing."
"Then Master Roy, please sign your opinion. Let me see what your attitude is when facing the guidance school of 'deep cooperation' and the authorities. It is best to have some substantive opinions.
Don’t be as unconstructive as those below.”
"Guidance school? And the authorities?" Roy was a little confused and lowered his head to read.
The first piece of paper in the document is the "high-level countersignature form" in the school's official document list.
In the opinion column from bottom to top, the opinions of higher-level instructors have not yet been signed, but judging from the few words written by several people, they all mean strong opposition.
"Congress Reform Bill?" She frowned and turned to the second page.
What is the Special Patrol Office doing again?
The Parliament of Tioleon consists of an upper house and a lower house.
The members of the House of Lords include royal nobles, academics, nobles and clergy. They are controlled by the Bologna School, and the Holy Sun Church also has a certain influence.
The members of the House of Commons include large factory owners, lawyers, doctors, engineers and other middle-class people as well as civilians. There is an absolute difference in the social base between the two. The former is very small and the latter is very large. However, in terms of the composition ratio of members, the number is almost 6:4
, obviously representing the interests of the factory owner class, the Special Patrol Office took the lead and guided the school to a subordinate position.
There have been a total of 8 large-scale reforms of the relevant systems of Congress in the past two hundred years. Each time, more power has been transferred to the House of Commons. It should be said that in the steam era with the rise of the Special Inspectorate and the factory owner class, this is a
A historical trend that is difficult to change.
Roy quickly flipped through the document and quickly extracted two of the more crucial clauses:
"The number of places for the House of Lords to nominate candidates for the House of Commons will be reduced again by 30-40% in various fields."
"After bills covering 26 fiscal areas are passed by the House of Commons, they do not need to be approved by the House of Lords."
"Sure enough, the focus is again on nomination rights and financial rights."
These are all core issues.
Not to mention the right to nominate candidates, financial power is also the core of the cabinet's administrative power. To take the simplest example, one of the main sources of funding for public schools is annual financial appropriation.
Roy remembered that in the previous version of the "Parliament Act", the description of financial bills was still "the House of Lords has the right to reject the bill twice for one month, and must agree to it only the third time."
Now it has become "without the consent of the House of Lords".
She turned to the last page with a bang.
This is the result of the previous solicitation of opinions in the House of Commons for this "Parliamentary Reform Bill". The bill passed the first review with 850 votes in support, 32 abstentions, and 2 votes against.
Not counting the Special Inspectorate who stood behind the factory owners, the other half of the middle-class and civilian legislators who represented the leadership school were almost one-sided.
The next step now is to submit it to the House of Lords for opinions. Finally, such an important core bill must be formally decided through a "joint meeting".
Theoretically, every congressman has the possibility to change his will.
But politics is often something that is "prepared in advance and decided unanimously." For most votes, you don't have to wait until the day of the official meeting to see the trends and results.
After Roy pondered for a while, he unscrewed the cap of the pen in his hand, absorbed ink, leaned against the wall, and started writing quickly.
"Conditional consent?" Frances saw the first few words.
She originally thought that Roy's opinion would be to "call on all members to vote against", but she didn't expect that it would be "conditional agreement"?
This is just to propose some supplementary terms, and promise to agree based on the premise of approval.
If the members follow this opinion and implement it, the supporting votes will also be recorded in the statistics of the House of Lords at that time!
Frances stared at Roy's handwriting, trying to see what supplementary clause she had mentioned.
"Further lowering the threshold for admission to Imperial Public Schools" is the summary sentence.
There are three levels below: "Expand the proportion of middle-class and civilian enrollment quotas, establish a diversified scholarship and bursary system; expand the channels for degree further study and further study, and attract outstanding scholars from county colleges and Turner Academy of Arts to pursue doctoral degrees; agree to reduce some
A fixed annual financial budget for public schools, but it must be replaced by an equal increase in the imperial cultural industry tax rate."
"What exactly is your intention?"
The moment Roy finished signing and closed the cap of his pen, the female speaker began to ask serious questions.
She didn't understand.
Supplementary clauses are generally a concession game between classes. If you want to take away this part of my benefits, fine, but if you don’t want me to object fiercely, I’ll make you promise to spit out another part of the benefits!
But what is this talking about?
If the elegant signature hadn't read "Roy McAdam", Frances would have thought this was a clause proposed by some member of the House of Commons!
"Madam Speaker, are you aware?"
Roy smoothed his long hair and slowly leaned back to the seat opposite.
"On the surface, the benefits transferred from these two or three points are mainly for the middle class and civilians, but who will fall on them, who will not fall on them, and who will be given priority? The right to dominate the distribution lies with us.
