Chapter 9 Fighting for Bread

Drinking the soybean wine, Uncle Bran's tone was cold and realistic.

Su Ming was silent and said, "I don't want to be a slave!"

The time traveler went to be a slave and knelt down and called the master, but he could not afford to lose that person.

"I will be a slave in the noble family, who will take care of my brother?" Su Ming expressed his concern.

"Haha, many civilians want to be slaves to noble masters. If there are too many people, you may not be able to choose. If you are selected, I will take care of Su Le!" Uncle Bran said domineeringly.

Lin Le nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

I feel a little frustrated, but I still have to be a slave.

...

When he woke up the next day, Su Ming started to dress up.

Change into the latest washing clothes.

Leather shoes are also the cleanest leather shoes.

Even the axe on his body was cleaned.

"Brother, come to Uncle Bran's house and wait for me!"

Su Ming said.

The younger brother nodded.

He directly put his younger brother into Uncle Bran's house.

Uncle Bran is in front, the little fat man and Su Ming are behind, and they are going to apply for a servant.

Being a servant of a noble is the best profession in the Glorious Empire.

A hundred years ago, the Empire of Glory defeated the Kingdom of Olympus and became the world's largest power, and even started industrialization. The rumbling steam engines were ringing, the roaring trains were walking on the plain of Glory, and giant steel ships were walking on the ocean, and lobster soldiers holding muskets were circling the world.

Half of the world's territory belongs to the glorious empire.

Because the Glorious Empire is too big and too strong, it is also known as the Sun Never Set Empire.

The empire entered extreme prosperity, but ordinary people were in extreme hardship. The land enclosure movement caused a large number of people to lose their land, and only Tathagata entered the city and became free workers.

Free, nothing but freedom.

Using low wages, employed workers, and the wages were low and hungry.

From hiring farmers, serfs, to free workers, the quality of life of many people is declining.

As for the reason, it's very simple.

It is not that the nobles have a conscience than the capitalists, but that they have different interests.

Serfs hired farmers are like cattle and sheep, and are private property. The nobles will cherish their own private property;

But for capitalists, workers are not their own private property and do not have to be responsible for the workers.

If you go to a noble family to apply for a job, if you become a slave to a noble family, you will be able to include food, accommodation and marriage. It is just that you have no freedom, which is much better than a free worker.

...

Walking on the road, the streets were narrow, coal smoke was rolling, and smoke was filled with smoke.

The sky, buildings, etc. have turned into darkness.

The more you go to the city, the more dirty it becomes.

The slums they live in are located in the suburbs and the pollution is not serious. However, when they approach the city, they become more and more foul-stenched.

On both sides of the Kar River, there are many factories, the air is dirty, and yellow smoke lingers over the city for many years.

The factories built along the river include tannery, dyeing workshop, bone meal factory, rubber factory and gas factory. The sewage and waste from these factories, including the sewage discharged from nearby sewage ditches, are all gathered in the Kar River. The river water is dark and smelly, and it is full of sludge and waste. Odor bubbles often rise upwards, spreading foul smell, which is disgusting.

It turns out that the beautiful red brick buildings have turned into black bricks, giving people a dark feeling.

There is garbage everywhere on the streets. On the ground, there are either cow dung, horse manure, or all kinds of shit and urine. All kinds of domestic garbage are thrown on the roadside at will. Most of the streets are not covered with bricks, the floor is bumpy, and there are no drainage ditches everywhere.

The air is mixed with food, body odor and feces and urine.

“It smells so bad here!”

Su Ming pinched his nose and felt like he was challenging the limits of the world.

Walking on such a road, you have to wear a mask or even a gas mask to travel.

Otherwise you will be choked to death.

"It's a bit difficult to improve the environment... There's no hope for at least fifty years. But it seems that it's not difficult to invent masks and gas masks!" Su Ming couldn't help but smile when he thought of this.

It can invent again.

But the premise is to get out of the slums.

As we walked, we arrived at the west location of the city. There was a huge square here, with carriages parked here, and noble servants stood there arrogantly.

The civilians lined up and took the opportunity to choose, like animals.

There are only a few servants recruited, and there are too many civilians who can participate in the selection.

The civilians from the nineteenth floor came excitedly and then left in a daze.

"What are your specialties?" the servant asked.

"I don't have special skills!"

"No specialties... Then go!"

The servant said arrogantly.

Su Ming left, a little reluctant.

Specialties?

In my previous life, I was considered a computer professional, but unfortunately there was no computer in this world.

You can understand physics, chemistry, and machinery, so you can't say it.

Because I don’t know the technological level of this world.

Born with divine power is a specialty.

Fasting and admiring energy is also a specialty.

But he didn't dare to say that he was afraid of becoming a guinea pig, so he went to the anatomy table directly.

He left the assembly seat again and went to apply for a servant, not having a salary, only asking for food and accommodation, but he was still rejected.

Many people came excitedly and left disappointed.

"Su Ming, I've been chosen, I've been chosen by the noble master, and I've become the servant of the noble master!" At this moment, the fat man shouted excitedly and reported the good news to his father.

Bran smiled, his mouth cracked: "No, not bad, my son is promising."

It was like a father who wanted his son to become a success. He heard that his son was admitted to a key university in the 19985.

"Congratulations, Allen!"

Su Ming congratulated, but his heart was so sad.

The little fat man couldn't call him, but he wanted to call him Allen.

"Su Ming, when I get along with the noble master, I will definitely make you a servant!" Allen comforted.

Su Ming nodded, but didn't take it to heart.

He had a fair relationship with the fat man, and it was not his turn to do such a good thing, and it was his younger brothers and sisters.

Bran stayed and celebrated with Allen.

Su Ming left alone.

Walking on the road, I feel lost because I don’t know where the road is.

Reincarnation is more important than hard work.

Reincarnation determines the lower limit of a person, and efforts determines the upper limit of a person.

As long as you are reincarnated well, even if you are a little waste, you will still be a nobleman and have no worries about food and clothing.

If you are not reincarnated well, you can only dig coal for the rest of your life.

I was a little irritated and asked for a bottle of ale to drink. The ale taste was very bad, but it tasted enough.

Sitting in the tavern, Su Ming was absent-minded.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked into the tavern, dressed in rags, holding an iron stick in his hand, and came to the bartender, "Give me a glass of ale!"

The bartender gave him a glass of ale.

Drinking ale, the middle-aged man stood up and went to the center of the bar and said, "Comrades, fight for bread and food. I work in a yarn mill and work for sixteen hours a day. The salary paid by the capitalists is not enough to buy ten black bread. Our family of six is ​​often hungry."

"I have an eight-year-old child who became a chimney cleaner for bread. He took a big brush and entered the narrow chimney to brush off the attached coal ash. But the chimney was too narrow, and after my child entered, he could never come out and suffocated to death. The owner of the house would not feel any guilt. They would find another child and stick the child's body clean."

"One of my coworkers broke his fingers by the machine, but they were dismissed without compensation!"

"The factory owners are getting richer and we are getting poorer. The workers stand up, petition the government, and raise wages... We ask for wages to satisfy the family's food and clothing. Fight for food and clothing, fight for bread! The workers choose to fight! Either get bread in the battle or be killed by the military and police in the battle."

"Life is precious, and freedom is more expensive. If it is for bread, both can be abandoned. You can choose to be silent and starve to death in silence; or to break out in silence and fight for bread. Fight!"
