Before the Mohists organized demonstrations of workers to build factories, the nobles and factory owners were not very vigilant. It was not until these factories resumed production one after another, and the production capacity had made up for the gap caused by the previous strike, that they realized that something was wrong.
…
"Mr. Albert, we have already signed a contract. Only I can supply you. How can you accept the goods produced by those untouchables?" A factory owner grabbed another gentleman in a tuxedo and said
There are complaints and pleas.
However, the man named Albert shook his head: "We did sign a contract. But you did not supply the goods within the contract period. You broke the contract first. I gave you many days of grace, and I didn't even ask you for anything."
Liquidated damages are already the end of benevolence, do you still plan to ask me to reject other people's goods?
I am a businessman, and I also need to make a profit by selling goods. It is not just me. Ask other people present. Due to the large-scale strike, Backlund has a large number of overdue orders, and each of us has suffered great losses. This is the right time.
It is to make up for losses.
Moreover, due to the suspension of production of a large number of industrial products, the futures market has almost collapsed. The prices of some products have collapsed, while others have been speculated to sky-high prices. You don't know the benefits and risks contained in this, right?
Even if you convince me, it's impossible to stop other businessmen. We don't want to cooperate with the Mo family, but they have offered benefits, so why should we refuse?"
The factory owner who had just persuaded him had a look of inadequacy and inadequacy on his face, and he lamented in his heart: "If we cut five cities today and ten cities tomorrow, and then we have to sleep overnight, when will it be the end?"
A group of untouchables can unite, but we are even smaller in number, but we cannot be united. If we continue like this, we really want them to succeed!"
Seeing the declining momentum of the nobles and factory owners, someone finally stood up: "Don't panic, everyone, these poor people are relying on the money of the Mohist family to support themselves. Even if the Mohist family has seen the return of the money, they will not be able to recover it in a short time.
Cost, now that we have made peace with the grain merchants, even if they are extremely capable, they cannot produce grain by themselves. Just wait, they will definitely give in."
…
In the East District of Backlund, in the newly renovated Shangxian Community, crackling firecrackers sounded, and red shredded paper covered the entrance of a majestic building. This is the new headquarters of the Mohist Family and the Backlund Workers Association.
's headquarters.
For some reason, the royal family and the Mohists reached a certain compromise, and even sold a small amount of land at a low price to show their favor to the Mohists. Only in this way could the Mohists organize the people to transform a large area of the old city in the East District in such a short period of time.
At present, the renovation of several blocks has been completed and these blocks have been renamed, namely, Tongyi, Shangxian, Universal Love, Non-Gong, Equality, and Xiangli. There are still several blocks under construction.
, but the transformation has not been completed so far.
Surrounding these blocks are planned industrial zones. Compared with the industrial zones that grew wildly under the leadership of capital, the Mohist family has carried out precise planning for industrial zones, and each industrial zone has its own expansion plan.
At the same time, they are very close to each other, saving transportation costs and making it easier for each factory to coordinate production.
Another advantage of having a large number of factories gathered together is that only one main road can be built to complete most of the material transportation. After a large number of residential buildings in the East District were demolished and converted into wide roads, the traffic situation was immediately connected in all directions. Compared with
The transportation in other areas of Backlund is even more convenient.
At this time, Lan Nuo was standing at the entrance of the headquarters in Shangxian District, announcing the next arrangements to the organized workers.
"As our organization continues to expand, management costs are also increasing, so we need to select educated and talented workers as managers among us, but we are different from the nobles, and I believe everyone does not want us to unite.
Together, they created a new nobility.
Therefore, managers are equal to other workers in terms of personality. They are just in different professions. If they are deemed unqualified during collective discussions, they will also be dismissed.
Regardless of whether the strike succeeds or not, whether the factory owners compromise or not, we will hold fair examinations to select grassroots managers with sufficient abilities.
So if you have time, it is best to take the time to go to night school to learn more knowledge. At least you must recognize all the words and learn the most basic mathematical operations. It does not mean that you can become a manager if you learn these, but it is not
It’s definitely not possible to know these things.”
The voices of the Lannos spread through the huge loudspeakers beside them to the entire square, and also to the ears of the spies of the nobles in the distance. When the Mohist family began to select wise men within their own ranks, the meaning of the existence of the nobles and factory owners
It has basically disappeared completely. This group of workers has fully possessed their own administrative capabilities. Let alone them, they can ignore Backlund's government at this time.
However, now is not the time to rebel, so the Mohist family openly negotiated peace with the royal family, which became an important weight for them to balance the nobility and capital.
"After talking about system changes, let's also mention future plans. As a group of people who have mastered the most advanced productive forces of this era, we not only have the obligation to let everyone live a happy life, but also have the obligation to promote the development and progress of the era.
So next, we will build Backlund's first power plant in the south of Shangxian District. We will use the water power of the Tasoke River to generate electricity, and we will also try to build a tram in the East District for the first time. If the attempt is successful, we can definitely
To some extent, it can replace the subway.
If the attempt is successful, we will also build a public transportation system underground and negotiate with the government to make different underground transportation networks compatible with each other.
The profits related to these public facilities will be distributed to everyone in the form of dividends and subsidies. I hope that after the construction of future projects starts, everyone can actively sign up."
As the Mohists managed the striking workers more and more in an orderly manner, the prosperity and cleanliness of large areas in the East District caught up with Queens. More and more people joined them, and many of them were not even workers, but
Some people who live a relatively decent life think that with the Mo family's development speed, if they join it now, they will definitely be able to prosper along with them in the future.
Some people are fed up and are resigned to their work. After all, it is not easy to get a stable job, and the boss can use this to manipulate employees. Originally, they could only endure it if they couldn't bear it, but now there seems to be another way.
way out.
The Mohist family naturally welcomes people like them who have a relatively higher level of education, and even gives relatively better treatment to talents.
After their "state-owned" factory came into operation, the Lannos no longer worried about breaking up with the original aristocratic factory owners.
The industrial zone is initially taking shape, so even if they reach a compromise or break up with each other in the future, Lannuo can rely on its own cost advantage and quality advantage to crush the original local factory into bankruptcy.
On a certain level, even if workers live a better life in the future, it does not necessarily mean that after the system changes, more wealth will be distributed to them. Lannuo is actually playing a trick to use the dividends of technological development to
The dividends of scientific and technological progress are also regarded as benefits brought by changes in the system.
It is difficult for ordinary people to tell the difference, and the Lannuo people have technology that is far beyond this era. By distributing part of the benefits obtained in this process, the workers who join can live a better life than before.
life.
But if someone can make statistics from God's perspective, they will actually find that the exploitation of workers by Lanno is actually more ruthless, and much more ruthless.
This is a very simple truth. Labor creates wealth. If there is no labor, why should we build so much infrastructure? Why should we build new factories? These factories seem to pay dividends to the workers, but compared with the benefits brought by the factory itself
, these dividends are nothing.
It can be said that Lan Nuos are very familiar with this model. Although they have basically never used it before, they were trapped in this model and worked crazy in their previous lives.
In order to maintain the sustainable development of this highly exploitative model, the necessary conditions are the continuous advancement of science and technology and the continuous development of productivity. Only in this way can the people see hope for the future, so that they will not doubt that the wealth created by their labor will go to
Why, since you are getting richer and better, and your life is getting better and better, you will naturally think that the wealth created by your labor will eventually return to you.
But in fact, most of these have been used in important fields such as infrastructure construction, education, medical care, scientific research, etc. If their contributions are calculated in proportion, they are actually more than before. It is just that within the Mohist family
The management is more efficient, and the need for food and money in all aspects is much less than it is now, and there are not so many family members and servants to support. For example, for nobles, even washing clothes has to be dedicated to a maid and a servant to do it.
One thing is that to serve two people, dozens of servants are probably needed. In essence, these people can be regarded as out-of-work people, and they have not essentially increased social wealth.
The Mohist family does not need to feed these people, and there is no need to consider the consumption of wealth brought by military power for the time being. Naturally, they can invest most of the profits in those constructions, and the profits will expand wildly.
It is still in the early stages, and no one can see the horror of this model. To some extent, the Lannuos are forced to do so. After all, the end is too close, and the normal speed of technological development is far from enough.
The following five-year plan is to leap into the electric age and initially complete the mass production of electronic computers. This is equivalent to leaping through many eras. Needless to say, it goes without saying what kind of resources will be required.
Know.
Time passed by slowly, and a large number of workers passed the assessment and became grassroots managers. A large number of people also passed the will test and gained a lot of knowledge from extraordinary characteristics.
These include generalists, assassins, cultivators, secret peepers, and hunters. Although they are all sequence nine, many of the knowledge are very practical.
The most useful ones are generalists. The Lannos have previously proved through experiments that the holders of extraordinary characteristics can affect the knowledge recorded internally of extraordinary characteristics to a certain extent. Therefore, the extraordinary characteristics of generalists held by Lannos,
The recorded industrial knowledge is extremely rich. Basically, after absorbing the extraordinary characteristics they possess, you will immediately have an industrial vision that transcends this era and master a large number of related technologies.
The Mo family has successfully trained more than 80 people like this. They are currently the management of major factories and lead the technological development direction of major factories. As more and more people pass the inhibition test, the number of such people will increase.
It is also expanding at an exponential rate. After all, simply swallowing the magic potion of sequence nine does not require an absurdly high amount of willpower.
Relatively speaking, the knowledge brought by several extraordinary characteristics other than general knowledge is not that important. It is more about improving fighting ability, or gaining the ability to lay traps, and gaining some common sense of mysticism. These
It can enhance the survivability of those who pass the test, so that when they face attacks from extraordinary beings, they will not be blinded. At least they can deduce the sequence of the attackers and the types of abilities they use, so that they can try to think of ways to survive.
.
Anyway, being able to absorb one copy of Sequence Nine's extraordinary characteristics, and absorbing the second copy after stripping them off is not a problem. Nowadays, people who have reached the standard of willpower are more scarce than the extraordinary characteristics. Basically, everyone who has the standard of willpower uses these kinds of extraordinary properties.
I have learned the characteristics once and for all. Not only is he knowledgeable and talented, but he is also good at fighting.
The factory owners and nobles did not know about this level of development. They suffered a lot of losses and finally waited until the Mohist family's food reserves were exhausted. They had no way to stop the Mohist family from purchasing or producing other living materials, but the grain was not.
It was stuck. Due to the continuous expansion of the Mo family's organization, it actually took less than a month for the food to be insufficient. This made the nobles whose interests had been harmed rejoice.
"Hold on, hold on for a few more days and we will win! If those grain merchants want to waver, then give them some money and make them promise not to sell to the Mo family. If it doesn't work, then..." The Mo family has experts,
Secretly protecting Extraordinaries is subject to various restrictions on their actions, and they often lose their own Extraordinary characteristics, but other nobles and businessmen may not necessarily be protected by strong people.
"It's certain that the Mo family has run out of food." After boosting their morale, the haggard-looking rising noble asked his detective.
"I'm sure. Although the Mo family is extremely strict with their grain reserves, I still successfully sent people to infiltrate them and confirm that the granary is empty. Moreover, the Mo family is now buying grain everywhere. This cannot be hidden from anyone."
"Okay! Three more days at most! After all, these bitches will have to kneel before us again."
