Blackstone Code

There is such a group of people at the bottom of society in the Federation.

They are poor, but they are crazy about having children and even adopt children.

Because these children can go to work as long as they reach the age of ten.

There are some enterprises or less formal workshops where children as young as eight or nine dare to use them.

Once the Child Law Amendment Act comes into effect, at least one to two million or more children will return home.

Those parents and adoptive parents who had been lying in bed eating the proceeds of these child labor jobs will face a rough obstacle in their lives!

They need to go to work themselves and also need to support these children at home, which is not an easy task.

People's laziness has inertia. Once they start to be lazy, it is not easy to make them stop!

In addition, there are also some welfare homes and orphanages, which are also groups that use a large number of child labor to make profits.

When Mr. Trueman finished talking about his idea, Lynch asked a question instead of giving positive feedback.

"Have you considered that once these children lose the ability to work, they will most likely be abandoned or forced to use more horrific methods to earn wealth for their guardians?"

Mr. Trueman's eyes were already confused, "What about...?"

He burped and smelled very drunk.

"Begging, theft, gangsters and even amorous feelings, think of Paradise Island."

Mr. Trueman was stunned for a moment. The confusing things in his eyes were quickly fading away. He stood up a little unsteadily, "Sorry, I'm going to wash my face."

Then leave.

After about a few minutes, he not only washed his face, but also his hair, and then came back.

Lynch's words kept echoing in his mind, and he realized that he might have thought of things too simply.

Let’s not discuss begging. Using children to commit crimes has almost become a semi-public practice in the Federation.

Because when children are tried, the sentencing standards will be lighter, as will the punishment standards.

To put it simply, the costs of child crime are lower and the benefits are higher, which is enough for many people to flock to this field.

There are some people in the Federation who form child gangs and use their identities as children to commit crimes and even murders.

Among the many criminals in the Commonwealth, child gang criminals are not new.

Even because children are better at deceiving, their criminal behavior is often easier to succeed.

Not to mention, there is also the precedent of Paradise Island.

This world is a beautiful place, but there are always some scum polluting the air!

"It seems we still need some additional provisions!" Mr. Trueman has not considered giving up the idea of ​​​​promoting the "Children's Law Amendment Act".

He needs to find some effective help to protect the implementation of this amendment law.

Lynch glanced at Joanna who had already left the table, "You can ask her and some other charities to come forward. Let's talk about the dangers of child labor first."

"The harm to children, the harm to the social structure, and then push it into the implementation stage to give people a time to accept it."

"Intensify the punishment for those who employ child laborers, reduce the punishment for child laborers' guardians, and exempt them from punishment when necessary..."

Mr. Trueman raised his hand. "Why give up?"

“If they didn’t throw their children into factories, there would be no child labor!”

"And for mistreating their own children, shouldn't they be punished more severely?"

Lynch asked directly, "Have you ever considered the possibility that if you increase the punishment for child labor guardians?"

"When they realize they might be arrested, do they hurt those children to avoid punishment?"

It was a sharp angle that Mr. Trueman could not refute. He even thought that some people might kill children to cover up these facts!

As long as the punishment is severe enough, there will definitely be people who are crazy enough to do that for the sake of freedom and avoiding punishment!

Especially those adoptive parents who adopt children from welfare institutions, as well as welfare homes and orphanages themselves.

"What we want to do is not to make the living environment of these children more severe, so we only need to start from the employer side, and that is enough."

"No one hires children, and there is no market for child labor, so there will be no more child labor..."

"At the same time, we need to provide more social subsidies to families with multiple children to give them hope so that they are willing to raise their children instead of abandoning them!"

The two chatted for a long time, during which Lynch also talked about some situations, such as the meeting between him and Frank.

He did not hide it from Mr. Trueman. As the most powerful president in the Federation, he wanted to know that these things that were not very confidential in the first place were not very complicated.

Lynch's confession pleased Mr. Trueman because it showed that they were still one.

"What do you think?" he asked Lynch, very directly.

Lynch's answer was equally straightforward, "Find ways to weaken their political influence. The people of the Federation have no good impression of capitalists. We can use all factors that are beneficial to us to win this battle!"

Mr. Trueman's mind was spinning very fast, and alcohol made his thinking more active. "Are your targets those senators in Congress who are under investigation?"

If capital wants to become a political influence, it must have a political spokesperson.

Members of Congress are the political spokesmen of the capitalists, and they make no secret of it!

Lynch was not polite and nodded directly, "Rather than letting these people hold important positions, it's better for me to hold them in my hands."

“At least it won’t be so easy for them to use Congress to repeal the amendment provisions of certain laws in the future.”

The inheritance and continuation of policies is very important, and this struck a chord in Mr. Trueman’s heart.

After thinking about it, he finally nodded, "I won't object."

He knows that many of the policies he is promoting now make those capitalists very dissatisfied with him, and provoking a relationship between himself and Lynch is the most obvious sign.

Now he has unlimited power in his hands and he can do whatever he wants.

What can happen later?

One day he will leave this position, and when he does, Congress will simply overturn all the decisions he made, so what will be the point of all his efforts while in office?

He had to think about the future, and Lynch's idea was a good choice.

only……

Lynch did not push him to make a decision. He believed that Mr. Trueman could figure it out on his own.

Because beside him, I was the only one who still stood by him and provided help to him!

Neither man spoke of the subject afterwards, and as Lynch was about to leave, Mr. Trueman told him of the reconstruction of the eastern part of the new federation of Nagallil.

There is a possibility that Katherine will be elected as the new governor to take office in Nagaril!

This news is regarded as a reward for Lynch's "loyalty" and an affirmation of what he has done.

After Lynch simply expressed his gratitude verbally, he left.

When he got home before ten o'clock in the evening, he called Catherine directly.

Catherine was sitting behind the desk in the study, working on some official documents.

Compared with the governor, the mayor's work is detailed and very specific.

Government officials at the governor level can also emphasize macro-level adjustment control.

For example, when they believe that the employment rate is low, they can issue some relatively general policies to encourage capitalists to build more factories and increase the social employment rate.

But when she reaches the level of mayor, she cannot be general, she must be detailed.

There must be an accurate plan for how to do it first, how to do it later, and what results to achieve, not just a macro-level representation of increasing job opportunities.

So most mayors, mayors who want to do a good job, work late.

What she was looking at was an application for natural resource extraction, and some foreign funds wanted to land in her city.

Taking into account the new policies and regulations promulgated by the Presidential Office, only by establishing a physical industry can you get the departure tax exemption, so most foreign investors are setting up companies in various places.

The size of the enterprise, the number of positions, and the efficiency will be directly reflected in the departure tax.

Everyone takes this matter very seriously.

Some people are serious about investing and building factories, but there are also people who want to take advantage of the situation.

She rubbed her neck and leaned back on the chair, "The conditions they proposed are very attractive, but I don't think they should be approved."

"The extraction of natural resources is very polluting and very risky."

"Their core interests are not in this area, and they don't care that much about safe construction."

"Whether it causes serious pollution or major safety accidents, we all have to bear the same responsibility!"

The professors in the journalism department look younger than before. Power is the most amazing little magic pill that can change a lot of things.

Temperament, momentum, also includes appearance.

After Catherine came to power, the journalism professor successfully became a city councilor and entered the political arena.

She nodded, with a sad look on her face, "But if their mining request is not approved, it will be difficult for this fund to be realized locally."

"Once they leave, some people may be unhappy!"

These foreign investors are very cunning, and they started to speculate in advance before the implementation was implemented.

What is needed to provide jobs for 5,000 people, and what is needed to build a living area around core industries...

They put pressure on City Hall by painting a very good prospect.

Capital is never clean. From the first second it comes into this world, it exudes a disgusting stench!

Although the mayor holds real power, in the final analysis he is elected by the citizens.

If these ignorant citizens are offended and the mayor loses the election next time, it will become very troublesome.

Catherine also had a headache.

While the two were thinking about how to solve this problem, the phone on Catherine's desk suddenly rang.

This shocked both women!

After she picked up the phone, her serious expression gradually turned into a smile...
