After a hard battle, the Wanshiwuwu returned to peace, but as samurai who accepted entrusted tasks, they would always encounter various things.
Some people may wonder why Wanshiwu can receive all kinds of strange commissions, even though they seem very unseemly, why can they get jobs? Because the staff of Wanshiwu have the status of samurai, and they do certain things.
It is very convenient, but it is inconvenient for ordinary people to do it. Therefore, it is more economical for customers to pay a little money to hire people from Wanshiwu.
But there are also many customers who don’t have money.
Without money and something he wanted to do, he had no choice but to use the services of Wanshiwuwu. Gintoki was often used as a prostitute, and as a result, he couldn't even pay the rent. If it weren't for the kindness of his mother-in-law, Gintoki would have lost his money.
Wanshiwu can't open either.
However, everything has been settled, and there are still some warriors who want to do things beyond their capabilities, so they have to take risks.
There was a samurai who raised many orphans by his own strength. In order to take care of these children, he had to participate in underground fighting competitions arranged by heaven and earn money through death fights to feed these children.
Without this income, these children are likely to be caught by beggar organizations and become beggars, they may become thieves, or they may be sent to black-hearted factories as child labor... In short, the result will not be too good, but the shogunate will not care.
These children, so one person is responsible for the upbringing of all the children.
But even if he wins again and again, he can only barely eat enough, and he still has to take great risks. If one day he dies in the Colosseum, everything will be over, and these children will still be homeless.
This was not a long-term solution, but the samurai had no other option.
There are many people like him who have ideas and use their little strength to fulfill their responsibilities as warriors. Unfortunately, the more they insist on being warriors, the more unable they are to save the situation.
Of course, there are many ordinary people who are capable but do not have the status of samurai, so they become evil forces and work hard to climb up, but in the end they are unable to get the status they want. The evil forces are just minions of the shogunate and heavenly beings, helping them to suppress them.
With the people.
The nobles who truly control the country's resources pay taxes to heaven and earth in exchange for the protection of their status. But even so, they are still dissatisfied and still fighting for power.
Because only by ascending to the top can they obtain more resources, establish game rules that are beneficial to themselves, and move forward.
Ordinary people basically go to work honestly, but if you have the ability but don't want to work, you can go to Kabukicho to be a cowherd, a barmaid, or a woman disguised as a man and be a transvestite. They are all in the service industry, and you have the opportunity to contact them.
The upper class, at the same time, does not oppress ordinary people like the evil forces.
A samurai is a person who has the qualifications to enter the palace. Without this qualification, if you still want to move up, you will either become the white glove of the high-level officials, or become the toy of the high-level officials.
Of course, there are also upright samurai who are unwilling to collude with the higher-ups, so they do what they can, even risking their own lives.
"It's a pity that even if he doesn't want to collude with the higher-ups, he still doesn't want to give up his identity as a warrior, just like Ah Q." Duran could see that the lower-level warriors still longed to return to the days of the land of warriors.
Even if some warriors want to break through their identities, there is no better identity to place themselves in. Besides, even if they want to break through, others may not recognize them.
Just like Xiqi, located between the Central Plains and Xirong. Xiqi thinks that it belongs to the Central Plains civilization, but the Yin and Shang princes think that they are barbarians. And Xirong does not think that Xiqi is one of its own, and definitely thinks that Xiqi is from the Central Plains.
Xiqi is caught in the middle. It can be said that the left and right are not human beings, and neither of them recognize him.
The same is true for samurai, caught between the nobles and the common people. The aristocrats do not regard the samurai as their own, they will issue the "Abandoned Sword Order" as soon as they are told, and sell out as soon as they are told. The common people do not regard the samurai as their own, even when facing the most miserable situation.
It is impossible for a warrior to be accepted by the people.
Therefore, the samurai are also very embarrassed. Even if they say that they give up their identity, the people may not believe it.
"A warrior must put forward a slogan." Dulan said that a warrior must put forward a powerful slogan in order to make the people believe in him.
Return to the Emperor, although this slogan sounds good, but what happens after this slogan is completed?
The biggest problem with such slogans is that they are easy to complete. If you can complete it, others can also complete it.
Just like the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, everyone can respect the king, fight against the barbarians, and form alliances with the princes. There is nothing that only I can do that you can't do.
That’s why the slogan was later put forward to preserve the natural principles and eliminate human desires. In fact, everyone knows that human desires cannot be eliminated. But with such a slogan, everyone can use this fictitious goal to continuously expand the scope of influence, not only to restrain others, but also to restrain themselves.
, can work for a long time.
If it is to ‘return power to the emperor’, what will you do after you achieve it? Will you disband after you achieve it, or will you expand externally?
The value of slogans lies in their impossibility. Slogans such as scientific spirit, rational thinking, preserving natural principles and eliminating human desires cannot be accomplished, but they are of great significance.
Because it can't be done, everyone can do it, and because everyone can do it, everyone is in danger, forming a deterrent relationship.
Returning power to the emperor can be done, but what should we do after we do it?
Therefore, a slogan that cannot be achieved will have wonderful effects that cannot be achieved. A slogan that can be achieved will have disadvantages that can be achieved.
Of course, the best thing is to alternate slogans about what can't be done with slogans about what can be done, use slogans about what can't be done to form a deterrent, and use slogans about what can be done as small goals.
Dulan was thinking about Xu's problem before. For an old monster who is immortal and immortal, coercion and inducement are useless. Coercion and inducement are okay to deal with young people, but they will definitely not work against old foxes like Xu.
Because he couldn't think of a good way, Dulan temporarily observed the society for inspiration. He saw the efforts and helplessness of the lower class people in this world, the entanglement and pain of the warriors, and the survival and profiteering of the high-level people.
The evil forces and the service industry who are eager to climb up are all pursuing high added value. I see samurai who are unwilling to give up their identity, and I also see samurai who try to integrate into the bottom but cannot.
Everyone is living hard and working hard for their own goals. People outside want to get in, and people inside want to get out.
Why is there a siege? Because there are restrictions on identity, and because of identity, it cannot be circulated.
"So there must be a villain who can break this siege and unite everyone." Duran said where is such a villain?
Xu has the strength and the time, but all he can think about is destroying the world.
"So borrow some villains from outside?" Dulan wondered if there were suitable students in his villain academy. They must have strength, be able to control themselves, have lofty goals, and have the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifices or setbacks.
I have to say that the kind of villain Dulan mentioned is very rare even in the villain circle.
After all, most villains cannot restrain themselves and eventually seek their own death.
If there is a villain who knows how to restrain himself, take advantage of the general trend, know how to unite the masses, break through identity restrictions, attack nobles, and establish slogans, then he does not need Dulan's education at all, and he can make achievements on his own.
"First consider a slogan that the whole society cannot achieve, a useless slogan, and use the usefulness of useless slogans." Duran said that he must find a slogan that is more "useless" than "return government to the emperor, respect the emperor and seek rape, respect the emperor and repel foreigners"
slogan.
"It seems we still have to rely on the wisdom of the masses." Duran decided to go to the TV station to make an advertisement and collect slogans.
