Episode 222: The Man in the High Castle (2)

After Yoo Deok-hyun was elected as the Seoul Metropolitan Superintendent of Education. Me, Deok-Hyun Yoo, and the members of the takeover committee entered the Office of Education without hesitation.

Then many people couldn't hide their doubts about it.

This is because, no matter how passionate the superintendent of education, there were very few cases like us who participated in the job immediately after the election.

“No, are you planning to start work already? It would be better for you to move slowly while saying thank you to those who have supported you or to those who have helped, even thinking about the next election... .”

However, the superintendent has been absent for several months. The position of superintendent could no longer be left vacant.

Besides.

[2021~2022 Education Reform Project Plan]

In order to keep the two-year plan we made, the timetable for education reform, it was necessary to identify and implement the work as soon as possible.

If we get caught up in victory and stop walking, so we are swept away by a rapidly changing external situation, it is clear that it will be difficult for us to avoid the obstacles lurking in front of us, far from accomplishing educational reform.

So I had to move as quickly as possible so that other people wondered.

Disadvantages of bureaucracy in the near future. It was because it would be difficult to complete the reforms in the remaining two years if they did not break the iron cage created by the rigidity, division, and complacency of the bureaucracy.

‘For the sake of peace, the sovereignty (修身), the family (齊家), and the ruling state (治國) must be decided first.’

Fortunately, they may have been embarrassed by our quick entry, but they pledged their allegiance to us surprisingly easily.

“Haha, it’s an honor to meet you. In fact, I have been admiring him since the time the superintendent of education was active as a member of the education council.”

“Haha, Chief Coordination Officer, you are a little late. I've known since the superintendent's fight with the private school foundation."

“Since the superintendent was working as an English teacher… .”

After completing the report, they wag their tails softly, emphasizing that there was no hostility.

But we were not vigilant.

Right now, they may have their tails lowered and their belly exposed, but I knew that the moment Duk-Hyun Yoo and I sold our eyes, or the moment we collapsed from an outside threat, they would soon return to the way they were before.

‘As soon as we started working, there were people who tried to convince us… .'

Because of this, we could not immediately start reforming the education system.

Leaving them alone was like going to the front line with the enemy behind your back.

‘There is nothing more terrifying than a slander from within.’

So, in order not to fall victim to the daggers of the internal enemy while promoting the reform, we had to cut off that risk in advance.

The driving force behind Han Gojo Liu Bang's defeat to Hang-woo, but ultimately winning, was the stability of the rear through So-ha's internal affairs.

But.“Haha, thank you Kim. What if you've already started work? Aren't you being too pushy? Now, how is it that you are focusing on working with us? ?”

“The kindergarten support project is a project that the former superintendent of education was running… If you come and take issue now, the backlash will be serious. So for now, you're just passing by... .”

“Interim settlement of support projects for the underprivileged? Ah, that's... Haha It's a sudden order, so it'll take some time... .”

It seemed difficult to defeat the enemy inside with the usual method.

They cleverly cut off our limbs and watched our every move, trying to tailor us to their taste.

Three elements for a bureaucracy to function properly.

1. Be selfless and be fair.

2. Efforts to have a professional role as an existence that does not remain as a job person, an existence based on a sense of vocation.

3. Be loyal to your role, not to the individual.

All these propositions were being ignored.

It happened because everyone had long since completely disappeared in the old state of ‘creating hope at school’.

And that figure became more conspicuous the more high-ranking public officials were.

“Haha thanks Kim, do you play golf? Oh, you can't? So when are you going to go round? Let me introduce you to some good people. Because everyone has thick bones on this floor. It won't hurt you if you know."

“In the case of that business, there are people who are already talking about it… you know There is no harm to us if we entrust the business to someone we can trust.”

“… Are you just passing by? Isn't there something called tradition in this floor? If you take all those things and fall, you probably won't go back to the school district. I’m not going back.”

As if conscience is a cumbersome thing to those who ascend to the top, there were basically one or two corruptions.

As if it was natural, those under them were also confused.

The chains of low-income capitalism and corruption.

Their tradition was a system of natural culling of those who could not fit into that ring.

“Why does it cost 15.7 million won to purchase flower pots? Well… . I guess I bought an expensive variety... .”

“Ah, what are you doing with 140 million won for a dinner party? The women’s department received more after spending 1.4 billion won.”

“… Expenses? I can't remember exactly... . It must have been useful, right?”

“Haha, isn’t that the original budget? Because there are budgets that are not included in the settlement of accounts. What are those things... .”

As I watched their behavior, I seemed to understand what it was like to rot alive.

‘I have a real sense that the education world is a more closed group than the military or the prosecution.’

Of course, there is also an auditing agency within the Office of Education, and it was keeping the internal corruption in check.

However.

‘Woodul has a law of Wudel.’

As these people, who have been connected through countless networks of academic ties, ties, and blood ties over the years, are pushing and pulling each other, and maintaining their own cartel inside and outside the education office, it cannot be said that their influence on the inspection department within the education office cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, me and Deok-Hyun Yoo decided to use a slightly extreme method as a way to overcome this situation.

That's right... Blitzkrieg.

It was an operation in which the internal enemies were swept away without giving any time to notice through an external force instead of the internal monitoring and containment system of the education office.

“Everyone, stop moving. We will take care of all the materials from now on, so please cooperate. Since the superintendent is a direct order, those who do not cooperate... Probably not, right?”

It may be conceivable, but it is difficult to put into practice. If you did something wrong, you could have a backlash.

But we boldly put that plan into action.

Because, of course, we have the backbone of the position of superintendent of education and the high approval rate at the beginning of the election. This is because the country has audit personnel who have gone through a hundred battles with people.

And the main target of that thanks is... … .

money!

It was a complete investigation of the education office budget and the current status of property changes of public officials related to the education office project.

Because most of the original dirty affair was made based on money and for the purpose of money.

‘Whatever is called loyalty is just a shell, but in the end, things are driven by money.’

Well, it wasn't that there was no counterattack.

Perhaps they could not have died sitting down, and as soon as the initial shock subsided, they tried to disrupt our operation by using all possible means.

“Critique through articles”

'Attempt to boycott work'

‘Negative towards me and Yoo Deok-hyun’

However, those whom public officials should fear the most were not on their side.

[Comment: Hahaha, this is Yoo Deok-hyun. As soon as I become superintendent, I work hard.]

[Comment: Those who say they are in public office are terrific. I wish I had everything very cheaply on this occasion lol]

[Comment: Hit more! Hit me more so I can't even bark!]

When news of the dispute between Yoo Deok-hyeon and the education office officials hit the media, people began to support our measures and criticize the education office officials.

It seemed to be the result of ignoring the hostility towards those who had been hiding in the iron curtain.

Thanks to this, we were able to start and finish the inspection inside the education office with unexpected ease.

And the results were surprising.[Seoul City’s ‘kindergarten support project’ corruption… A bunch of related officials caught!]

[Is the 'education support project fee for the vulnerable' that has become the wallet of public officials as good as it is?]

[Contract for the number of educational projects that exceed the limit… As a result of the full investigation, ‘red light’]

Numerous corruptions have exposed their ugly faces before us, as if the saying ‘It’s not that there is no money in the country, but that there are many thieves’ means that even a single phoneme is not wrong.

I was able to understand why a closed society is scary, and how many public funds were used in the name of blind money.

But they did not acknowledge the consequences, and of course not admitting they have threatened us.

“… Why do people you know do this? We also know what we did wrong, so stop at this point. Otherwise, it won't look good. We are not going to stand still.”

But.

“Do whatever you want.”

What should I touch

No, rather, as time goes by, will only their dirty past be revealed additionally?

‘Because a wounded beast was an easy prey.’

Not surprisingly, some time passed, and the people involved were waving their tails as if they were threatening us and asking us to negotiate.

But the negotiation is... … .

“… Thank you. Isn't it our family? I will do my best to make sure that nothing like this happens again, so please take a look at it this time.”

It wasn't even funny.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t consider people who tried to devour their families personally and publicly as family members.”

Because of this, we relentlessly disclose all of their corruption.

Immediately after accusing the citizens of Seoul and the Korean people of their corruption head-on, dismissal, dismissal, salary reduction, and reprimand, depending on the degree of corruption. was punished

Of course, in the meantime, some worried people were worried about the paralysis of the school district's work... … .

Why are we using bureaucracy? Doesn't that mean that the system will run to some extent even if the monkey is standing still?

Their vacancy soon went to other honest people, those who were guarding their consciences.

Then, rather than paralyzing his work, he began to work more passionately.

So, about two months after we joined the Ministry of Education, the housekeeping was completed.

Now all we have left is… There were only external enemies.

The first target is... … .

[Private Education]

It was my home ground.
