Chapter 323 The Fourth Princes Doubts(2/2)
A cup of hot milk before going to bed can calm the nerves. Ma Wei was not polite. He held the slightly hot cup in his palm and asked: "Your Highness, I heard that you are in trouble."
"Father, you must know what I am looking for you to do."
Ma Wei nodded: "I do know about your side of things, but I don't know why you are troubled... Is it the enrollment rate, or the wages of workers?"
"Both." Arthur said: "According to the content of your speech, Father, I carried out the reform of the public school system, added vocational education courses, and invited many retired masters to teach in order to attract children to enroll.
But this kind of behavior not only increased the enrollment rate, but also increased the rent...The performance bonuses that the workers finally fought for were not enough, so they had to let their children drop out of school and work to make money to support their families."
"Father, please answer me, did I do something wrong?"
"you are right."
Ma Wei said without hesitation: "Whether it is increasing courses or seeking wages for workers, they are all correct, but you have ignored the economic issue."
"Economy? What does education reform have to do with the economy?"
"The relationship is huge." Ma Wei said: "Economy is the embodiment of resource allocation, and education is a kind of resource. How can there be no relationship between the two?"
"The increase in educational resources means that the proportion of resource allocation in Newham District has increased, and other investors will naturally come in one after another to seize resources, thus forming competition."
"In the process of competition, capital has a unique advantage, which is reflected in the phenomenon of rising rents. The increased rents make ordinary people without capital lose their competitiveness and have to leave the market sadly and give up their resources."
Arthur said solemnly: "In other words, the culprit of all this...is me?"
"No revolution is perfect. Whatever you gain, you have to sacrifice something else."
Taking a sip of the milk, Ma Wei said calmly: "Just like tonight, I drank this glass of milk and indulged in my lust. When I got home at night and had a good sleep, I would gain weight the next day. This is
cost."
"Since Your Highness has initiated the reform of the education system, it will definitely have an impact on the economy. These costs are affordable and can be solved."
"How to solve?"
Ma Wei thought for a while and said: "It is better to alleviate the contradiction than to solve it. If the education reform is limited to Newham and Ealing districts, it is equivalent to turning Newham and Ealing districts into arenas, attracting foreign capital."
The influx of people will destroy the original market balance. On this basis, if we want to solve the contradiction, we should expand the contradiction area."
Arthur narrowed his eyes: "Cancel the pilot and promote the new policy throughout London?"
"It should be the whole country." Ma Wei said: "Distribute all the pressure. As long as everyone is the same, there is no need to compete for London's resources."
"But London's resources are better than other cities, so competition is bound to arise."
"So it's just about easing the conflict, but it's difficult to completely resolve it."
Ma Wei drank milk and said: "The economic division of the Kingdom of Windsor is very uneven. It is mostly limited to the southeast, which is the London economic zone. In comparison, the economy of the West Island and the northern part of the kingdom is very average, even less than the London economy.
Half of the district.”
"Economic development is inherently unbalanced, so how can resources be balanced?"
Ma Wei sighed and said this, but he actually had a way to resolve the conflict in his heart.
Household registration system.
As long as the user registration system is used, resources can be limited to a specific area, allowing West Islanders to compete with West Islanders, and Londoners with Londoners. In this way, the so-called 'balance' can be barely achieved.
But then again, must the household registration system be good?
Once the household registration system is implemented, what is the significance of equal rights for renting and selling?
