From Chief to Ball

Their counterparts from the Celestial Dynasty also came here not long after, but they were not the lowest proletarian carders, but higher-level property weavers, who opposed the plundering of primitive accumulation by feudal rights.

Of course, they can all be called scum by moral models who don’t know how to endure and serve the country. Like Li Chuang, the country is at war. If you can’t starve to death obediently, why bother the empire?

In essence, wool carders and property weavers are twins of capital defending their own interests, and they would have followed the same path if not for the later accidents.Since there is a child, there must be a mother.

Of course, this kind of thing will not happen so soon in Yucheng. In fact, the treatment from slaves to workshop workers is similar, but a slogan that gives them a human identity can always last for a few months.

Under extreme oppression, the terrible situation of no food if you don’t work, and you will be killed if you escape, forced the workshop workers in Yucheng to accept this kind of work.They had nothing, and even the simple wooden houses on the island where they lived were burned by Chen Jian. The strict control of the boats made them have no way out.

A large number of men in the Dyeing and Spinning Department were also prepared by Chen Jian for this kind of thing a long time ago. Simple slingshots were handed out, and the wool was picked up by tapping the bowstring to fly around. Naturally, there were people from the Planning and Statistics Department secretly observing in the distance. to determine the daily minimum quota.

These simple slingshots are just the beginning of Chen Jian's huge plan. He wants to provoke war in a special way.

The war relying on the monarch's ambition to fight for hegemony is too accidental, and the interests of the entire ethnic group cannot be guaranteed, so it is a little less fanatical and less naked pursuit of interests.

There are not many people playing wool, but eventually there will be more.The popped wool can be felted and eventually spun into wool.

The plan to improve the spinning wheel is next year, because the iron smelting workshop is not ready yet. Without the iron smelting workshop, there is no way to produce shears. Without shears, the wool cannot be sheared and can only be scalded with boiling water after death. If the wool cannot be sheared, there will not be enough wool to survive. For wool textile industry.

Similarly, without enough scissors, the rest of the cities would not be able to raise a large number of sheep for wool, and they would not have enough consumption power to buy sweaters and rough wool.

At this time, the land is sparsely populated, so sheep cannibalism will definitely not occur, but variant versions will still appear.

The recent large demand for wool will increase the price of wool exchange, which will drive a large number of shearing slaves in other cities, which will inevitably lead to the reduction of farming slaves on the same land, and the reduction of farming slaves will drive other cities to buy Iron farm tools and smelting workshops in Yucheng are profitable. As legal owners of smelting workshops, all Chinese people must want to expand the scale. To expand the scale, more cheap labor is needed. War and plunder is the best way.

After the implementation of iron farm tools and cattle ridge farming in other cities, and the increase in agricultural production levels, it is no longer necessary to use slaves on a large scale, and they still have to face the resistance of slaves.

Faced with this situation, Xia City in the far northwest already has a new thing called Li Nong, which will tell the rest of the cities a new way of land rent exploitation, without requiring those slave owners to search hard for answers.

At least in E City near Xia City, Chen Jian has already planted a fuse, and the slaves whom he taught scientific rebellion techniques are lying dormant waiting for the opportunity.

E City is too close to Xia City, and the simple industrial products of various workshops in Xia City will be the first to impact E City, and the impact of the wool trade will also be the first to affect E City.In order to obtain more workshop products to satisfy their own desires, slave owners can only oppress slaves more or improve production tools.

Once Echeng has completed ridge farming near the water and has a material foundation for the technological progress of ox farming, under the double pressure of external market shocks and intensified slave owners, once Xiacheng suddenly lowers the purchase price of wool, the first to be affected must be the bottom. Counting on slave masters to give alms to surviving slaves.

Their situation will be even more miserable. A large-scale slave uprising is close at hand, which is enough to shake the large-scale slavery system in the cities near Caohe. At that time, it will radiate outward from the Xiacheng Yucheng and gradually evolve into land rent exploitation.

After the reform, in addition to the purchase of various consumables, a large amount of goods exploited by land rent will be affected by the model workshop system in Yucheng and invested in some simple workshops, or reclaim more land in the model of manor landlords .

Wool is just one of them, and other workshops in Yucheng will also play a similar role and cooperate with each other.

Chen Jian's goal has never been to build a ridiculous utopia in this era. Yucheng is not a paradise. It is a large group of workshops monopolized by the state and imperialism. Yap-based interest groups.

Once those workshop workers have completed the transformation from slave workers to Chinese people, they will no longer be proletarian workshop workers, and their buttocks determine their heads. What they need at that time is war, expansion, cheap labor, and a vast fiefdom market— — or Classical Colony.

As for what Chen Jian really wants, that is very far away. At this time, he just left the seeds for later generations to bloom. What he wants does not need to be a saint, but only needs everyone to know how to fight for their own interests.

Whether someone believes in it never affects its realization, that is not a religion.

More than ten years later, what he wants is not, and cannot be, [-] clansmen who have the dream of liberating the whole family. He has never instilled these things, and he has never said a word from the beginning to the end.

He is only instilling interests and how to maximize the benefits and defend his own interests, including instigating those workshop workers to strike and fight in groups, and he is just letting them know how to fight for their own interests, helping Chen Jian put pressure on the old Chinese to accept this It's just a batch of new Chinese to share the pie.

More than ten years later, what he has is [-] to [-] deformed new aristocrats who can read, count, know workshop technology, and know how to fight for their own interests—deformed aristocrats who are not distinguished by blood but by property, technology and knowledge. Supported by the workshop system in the city, the prototype of the workshop owner and the manor owner has Xiacheng exploiting the wealth of other cities for more than ten years as the cornerstone.And hundreds of old nobles of blood who have received Yucheng's education and way of thinking.

Based on the various workshops in Yucheng, more than 2 skilled workshop workers spread their leaves to the workshops and hired farms established in various cities, disseminated technology, completed the most basic cattle farming and ridge farming, and ensured land production. With the help of blood nobles capital, forming a new interest group.

Under the condition of scarce population, technological innovation will inevitably be promoted to ensure sufficient benefits. The school of Yucheng template will continue as a habit, and some attempts to fight for survival and be different in Xiacheng Yucheng will also be written along with it. History, wait for those who need it to read it.

This interest group needs a lot of labor, a lot of raw materials, a wider market, and a larger population to ensure that the things produced by the workshop can be sold. It needs more gold, silver and copper to support the circulation of coins in the future. It needs a more stable Internal environment and traffic construction.

The other cities of this interest group outside of Xiacheng are weaker than the elders of the old era. They will inevitably unite around Xiacheng, forgetting the concept of clans and groups. Right, they will learn from Yucheng and give those slaves the status of slave farmers and hired workers to strengthen their own strength and get enough support, as well as perhaps more cheap labor.

Everything that this interest group wants can be obtained in the land of the Barbarians and Didi on all sides. At that time, the war is no longer a simple ancestor's guidance, ethnic hegemony, and leader's ambition, but the entire young nobles who are tied to this system. Interest demands are more fanatical and direct.

There is no need to even make a set of oaths to justify the name and even create a celestial phenomenon of phoenix singing and dragon singing to fool the clansmen, just tell them that there is everything they want.

The leader has the ambition to reproduce the glory of Hua's four-party tribute in the past, and he wants to fight; if not, he must fight, and if he doesn't fight, he will get out of the stage and let the person who is willing to fight and win be the leader.

If you want to fight, it's not just for the sake of your ancestors, but for the sake of your ethnic group.In fact, there are not many people who believe in it. Even if the erection is hardened, it cannot last long.

Chapter 1: Learn the rules first and then work

This kind of straightforward pursuit of interests is still far away from most people in Yucheng, so far away that they can't see it at all.Because for all the workshop workers, Yucheng is not theirs, Yucheng belongs to the people they hate.

In the dyeing workshop that has not yet been perfected, hundreds of the most low-level workshop workers never thought that one day they might become the people they hate the most.

Whether it is the workshop supervisor who is like a cat who is guarding against stealing fish, or the member of the planning and statistics department who counts the number every night, these workshop workers are enemies.

But hatred is hatred, and this hatred does not affect their wishes and dreams.

There are two kinds of dreams.

One is to kill the person you hate, and not to be the kind of person you once hated.

The other is to wish to be the person you once hated.

Obviously, the dream of most people is the latter. What they oppose is not the system itself, but only the beneficiaries who do not have a system.

They fantasize that one day they will be the ones who pick up the whip, but they trust their own morality very much, and feel that when they manage the workshop, they will be kinder than the current people.

Although they were a little dissatisfied, and although Yucheng was not their city, they had to admit that some strange rules in Yucheng could make their work faster.

Everyone is still working those hours, but the things produced are much more than before.

Every time a new rule appears, it will always attract the speculation of these workshop workers.

Just like the current dyeing department, everyone was busy with the same thing, but since the slingshots were released a few days ago, some people are responsible for flicking wool, and some are responsible for washing with lime or plant ash water. Wool, some people followed to learn how to roll wool into wool felt.

Those responsible for making wool felt were organized as a department specializing in wool and these things, occupying several rooms by themselves, but there were not many people.

It is not difficult to make woolen felt, the rare thing is how to make it beautiful, generous and even in thickness. Many workshop workers have made this kind of thing before to keep out the cold, so this kind of woolen felt does not surprise them too much.

For them, things like wool felt have little to do with them, not even as much as the chirping red bricks when they first saw them.

But starting from the wool felt, there have gradually been changes in the dyeing workshop that make them worth discussing. Since the regrouping, the people who are also in the dyeing workshop have staggered meal times and separated the working places. It is rare to see people who roll felt, as if they suddenly disappeared, they only appear at night, and there are even some weird and terrifying rumors.

Those who were not assigned to deal with wool, the rest are basically women. These days, they are also anxious in their hearts, not knowing what they will do in the future, whether it is light or tired, and the daily quota How much again?Will those rumored horrors befall him?

While waiting anxiously, these women were divided into groups of thirty or forty people. In each group, a few women from Xiacheng asked them a few questions, most of them were whether they used to use bone needles and whether they could spin needles. thread, will it sew up the leather?

Based on these responses, the women were reassigned into groups and brought to the houses in which they belonged.

Before stepping into the house, these female workshop workers have long wanted to know what the house made of bricks and tiles looks like. It looks beautiful from the outside, bright red and neat, but they don't know what it looks like inside.

The leading Xiacheng woman opened the wooden door, and the female workers immediately felt a burst of heat coming from inside, warm like spring, a brick stove was burning people, but this stove did not go directly through the chimney, but rather came from the house. One of the walls leads to the outside.

Someone curiously touched the wall inside, it was so hot, he couldn't help but secretly stunned, and besides clicking his tongue, he felt that he was lucky.
