The 468th Summer-Europe Conflict (1)

Taking the real-world China as an example, if a child student is particularly proficient in the imperial examination, he can quickly pass the hospital examination, the town examination, the general examination, the palace examination, the ternary and the smashing class yoke. In the university system of the Republic, how can you be proficient in exam-oriented education? At most, skip grades and read less for a few years. Even if you get a PhD, you have to climb the officialdom slowly and honestly. Don't even think that you can jump the dragon gate in just three or four years.

Although the universalization of education is social progress, it has abandoned the shortcut of a few imperial examination geniuses.

Similar to the impact of university education on the imperial examination system, Wei Dongsheng’s shortcut to the Imperial College was completely cut off. Don’t even think about the extravagant expectation of changing class attributes quickly in four years. Still taking the real world as an example, no matter how smart Wei Dongsheng in the ninth generation is, his social attributes after four years of college are only equivalent to "a graduate of Tsinghua University from a family of migrant workers." How much improvement can Tsinghua undergraduates make to the families of migrant workers? In a short period of time, it has risen to the seventh class at most, which is the mainstream middle class.

That's it.

Of course, even so, you still have to read.

At least, the value of the interpersonal network of alumni in colleges and universities far exceeds that of migrant workers.

The scene returns to Wei Dongsheng's ninth generation.

Lu Fan has not implemented compulsory education so far, and many children from poor families are unwilling to waste time and money to support their children in school. Affected by the general environment, the nominal parents also slack off the education of the ninth generation Wei Dongsheng. At the age of twelve or thirteen, Wei Dongsheng began to apprentice in shoemaking, and he was sent to work in a textile factory when he was older.

At this moment, Wei Dongsheng is a glorious textile worker, dedicated his youth to capitalists.

Looking around, whether male or female, they all repeat their work with a numb face.

My memory tells Wei Dongsheng that the work in the textile factory is very hard, and it often takes 14 hours a day to work in a hurry. What is the concept of fourteen hours? Twenty-four hours a day, deducting eight hours of sleep time, only two hours of eating and breathing time, eating breakfast and going to work, half-day work for lunch, half-day work for dinner, after dinner, continue to spin under the dim light, and finally lie down When I fell on the bed, I had no energy to speak.

Can I not work overtime?

The answer is no.

Textile mills routinely detain wages, cruel capitalists detain for three months, and benevolent capitalists detain for January. If you are unwilling to work overtime for 14 hours, not only will your work be done in vain this month, you will also have to punish all the seized wages. If you want to get a full salary, you must be honest and obey your orders and work enough hours.

Can black-hearted capitalists be sued?

The answer is no.

First of all, the Lu Fan government ignored your disclosure at all. The old school in one of the ruling cabinets believes that "food is for work, and work is for merit": you have to work for others if you want to get a salary. If you are not satisfied with your salary, you can choose not to do it. The Pacific does not stamp it. Leave the textile factory and get out of the Lu Fan; another faction, the Wuwei faction, believes that "If the king can guard it, everything will be his guest." "Man can be self-governed, and he can't wait to stop.": Without the random intervention of the king, the cabinet can calmly rule the world Since the cabinet has benefited from the inaction of the king, why can't we believe that textile mills can calmly govern without the crude intervention of the cabinet? To put it simply, the government does not care whether the capitalists are black-hearted or not, and it has no intention of providing workers with labor security.

Secondly, capitalists have a certain degree of power. They may not be as good as local bureaucrats, but they are definitely stronger than ordinary workers. If ordinary textile workers dare to make trouble, the factory owner can call a group of security teams armed with bayonets at any time to suppress everything with an iron fist. All the workers who stay in the textile factory are a group of honest people who accept their fate.

Contrary to hard work, textile workers are paid very low. Even if they work obediently for 14 hours, their monthly salary is only 1,270 wen. In addition, in the cold winter of the market, textile factories will shut down from time to time. At that time, textile workers will either have nowhere to ask for wages or find their next home with their luggage. Life is almost hopeless.

However, where there is oppression, there is resistance. As the industrial revolution set sail, the size of the worker group became larger and larger, and some leaders are trying to gather strength to negotiate with the cabinet or the ruling class. Of course, as to how much power the worker group should have, it is the way to fight for the rights and interests of the worker group. Different leaders have different ideas, and the differences in their ideas lead to the formation of hostile line struggles.

Leave the gossip aside.

There is no hope of staying in the textile factory.

Even if you have the subjective sense of self-improvement and spend 14 hours of hard work, can you still have the energy to learn and improve? If you don’t waste time on low-end jobs, don’t have enough food, don’t wear warm clothes, and live insecure; if you waste time on low-end jobs, how can you still have time and energy to study?

If you experience the suffering of textile workers yourself, you will understand that those who criticize the low-end population for not knowing how to improve their self-worth are definitely stand-up spectators, or they are self-deception jokes of some middle-class people.

The 9th generation experience told Wei Dongsheng that the context of hard work may be exclusive to the mainstream middle class.

The poor are not deprived of hard work, not because hard work has no effect, but because they have no energy to work hard. Take learning as an example. Although education can change destiny to a certain extent, what if it is too poor to have education? For example, if you can't afford tuition at all, how can you study hard? Even if education is free, how about three meals a day? Furthermore, even if education is free and there is a living allowance, what if the exam-oriented education syllabus changes: suppose that the exam-oriented education suddenly becomes better, without testing table tennis for golf, running for costumes, or for mathematics, physics, and death knowledge. Changeable experience, poverty will still greatly reduce the benefits of your efforts. The middle class can get 60 if they work 100, but the poor can only get 10 if they work 100. Over time, the poor will naturally no longer be obsessed with inefficient and step-by-step hard work.

The ruling class also has no chance of hard work, not because hard work has no effect, but because hard work has too little effect. Does the emperor's nobility result in hard work? Can the duke work hard to become the emperor? The answer is definitely no. The emperor relies on blood inheritance and does not have the status of a prince. The end of your hard work is the anti-thief. Another example is that the children of the family or the second-generation officials and the third-generation officials are not achieved through hard work, and it is difficult to achieve higher levels through hard work. Standing as a member of the ruling class, hard work is certainly valuable or indispensable, but more important is opportunity and stage.

Hard work is not a panacea, it has a certain range of application.

In general terms, perhaps all beautiful words have their scope of application.

Specific to the textile factory where Wei Dongsheng worked in the ninth century, the atmosphere was lifeless and hopeless. Wei Dongsheng had no intention of leading the workers' group to fight against capitalists for the time being, and was unwilling to waste 14 hours of work, so he simply resigned the next day. Considering that he had nothing when he first reincarnated, if he insisted on asking the factory owner for the current month's wages and withholding wages, it would definitely be a waste of time and no effect. Wei Dongsheng simply gave up his due wages, rolled up his bedding and left.

As for the old debt of seizure of wages, we will settle accounts with the textile factory after Wei Dongsheng comes to the fore.

Life is still difficult after leaving the textile factory.

Because some political leaders are gathering the power of the workers' groups to compete with the ruling class, the air in every city of Lu Fan has been tight in recent years. The local yamen not only deliberately intensified regional conflicts and encouraged citizens to discriminate against the low-end laborers, but also allowed those government officers with their hands in their backs, and patrols holding batons to arrest suspicious persons at will. For the unemployed like Wei Dongsheng in the ninth century, patrols and arrests are just a mess, and then they are randomly repatriated to a certain place.

Local aborigines discriminated against, and the officials drove away with sticks. This is the embarrassing situation that Wei Dongsheng faces.

Don't say that the seventh generation uses the credit endorsement of Xiao's printing workshop to quickly resell for huge profits. The eighth generation's stable and stable life can be met but not sought.

Of course, this still can't beat Wei Dongsheng. Wei Dongsheng first fled to a small city with a relatively relaxed atmosphere, walked through the streets and even walked the gray area to try to accumulate the first pot of gold.

After two years, Wei Dongsheng finally worked hard to save enough gilded tuition.

In 1785, Wei Dongsheng paid bribes to obtain a student status from a certain school, and was successfully admitted to Weihe College the following year. Returning to the familiar Weihe College, the trivial matters of the small citizens suddenly disappeared. What they saw and heard was the latest international news.

For example, for Lu Fan’s first European battle, which was unclear in news papers, Wei He Academy’s social circle had more detailed materials.

However, in order to alleviate domestic conflicts, the Lu Fan cabinet authorized the Shandong West Kunlun colony and the Shandong Penglai colony (currently only a few islands in the Caribbean Islands) to launch trade wars against European countries. In 1785, Fan Lu took the lead in declaring war on Franca (France). In a few moments, the small states of Nalandi (Netherlands), Blues (Prussia), Armania (referring to the Holy Roman Empire in a broad sense, and Austria in a narrow sense) and the Holy Roman Empire, one after another Standing in line to check the camp, set off a massive All-European anti-Xiamen alliance.

However, the European countries in this time and space are far inferior to the European countries in the real world at the same time.

First of all, without the massive gold and silver stimulus of the Great Geographical Discovery of the Americas, and without the stimulus of the large sailing trade profits of sailing all over the world, the national finances of the European countries are very difficult. Although the aggressiveness of the European countries is many times greater than that of the real world of the Qing Dynasty, they prohibited the spread of Zhuxia cultural thoughts while actively introducing military technology, but these advances still cannot resist the Lu Fan troops that have entered the industrial revolution era.

In a short period of more than 30 months from 1785 to 1787, Lu Fan defeated the four-nation alliance like a smashing bamboo, forcing France, the Netherlands, Prussia, Austria and other countries to recognize Lu Fan’s business privileges, and demanding that France take Brittany. The province of Finistere (Finistere) in Asia Region was ceded to Lu Fan in half along the uplift. In the real world, the coastal slash from Brest to Morlaix in the province of Nistel in France, instantly became a colony of Lu Fan.
