Chapter 343 How to deal with it
Is the engineer just eating and not working? Are you still pointing fingers while others are working?
Do you really think that the working class is infinitely great and can complete complex engineering construction without professional technicians and safety supervision?
What does it mean that it is impossible to become a noble and live a luxurious life even if you work hard? Co-author: Are you working hard to go from being a worker to living a luxurious life like an aristocrat?
These remarks may seem harmless at first glance, but in fact they are all full of problems.
It is true that engineers do not have to do the dirty work of physical labor on the front line, but they are responsible for reading the drawings, providing technical guidance and safety supervision. Without the existence of engineers, Perfectcott would not dare to think that it would be entirely up to these workers themselves. How to build the energy tower.
In fact, so far, there have been a lot of problems in the entire energy tower construction project, but these problems are not big problems, and many of them can be solved without Perficott's knowledge.
A considerable part of them is that workers do not construct according to the drawings, or take it for granted to deal with some problems encountered.
For example, for example, two pipes that are perpendicular to each other are clearly marked on the drawing as being connected to an elbow, but some workers directly connected the two straight pipes together without thinking, forming an elbow. Ninety degree right angle joint.
(Author’s personal experience)
Not to mention problems such as screws being tightened incorrectly and valves being connected backwards.
For Purficott, the reason why she wants all workers to spend a few hours every day to become familiar with their work that day is to avoid this type of problem from happening.
However, even so, endless problems are still exposed every day.
If it weren’t for the hard work of these engineers, Purficott has reason to believe that if these workers alone are responsible for the construction, the things built will not be worth it unless they all turn into green skins and can "think about it". It is possible to make the energy tower operate normally.
Not to mention understanding the complicated drawings that even professional engineers find difficult, these people don’t even know the difference between why copper pipes and iron pipes are used on site.
Under such circumstances, some people claim that engineers are all about eating and not working. This is purely provoking trouble.
Not to mention the statement that no matter how hard you work, you can't become a noble and live a luxurious life.
Perfect admitted that it is difficult to achieve a class jump in the empire, but that does not mean that there is no chance at all.
And more importantly, as a worker, if you work hard to improve your life, shouldn't you compare it with the life you lived before to see how much your life has improved?
Why do you want to compare yourself with nobles who are not at the same level as you?
Do you really think that aristocratic life is all about luxury and luxury, and that you can achieve it with just a little effort?
This kind of people may not have been brainwashed by the consumerism that is most popular among the Langton middle class. They think that as long as they use the same products as the aristocrats, they can live an aristocratic life, and they themselves will also join the ranks. The aristocratic social circle, became a noble.
In fact, this is a big lie.
Aristocratic life For the aristocrats, their daily life is like this; for the middle class, it requires consuming most, or even most of their income to barely maintain their appearance. High consumption and luxury behavior.
If you don’t think about how to live a good life and just want to compare with the rich all day long, how can you possibly feel the changes brought about by your hard work?
For those who dare to say such remarks, Purficott has only one comment on them, and that is that they have a terrible heart.
So she no longer hesitated, stepped out of the car, took the rifle from a city guard soldier who saw her arrival, and pointed it at the man who was still chattering. He followed the crooked guy and directly pulled the trigger. The rifles equipped by the City Guards are rifled muzzle-loading rifles designed by Purficott. They fire the Minie bullet, which was very famous in the history of the original world. Because of the existence of rifling, the shooting accuracy is greatly improved.
So when Purficott pulled the trigger, the bullet accurately hit the person who was speaking, and entered his mouth, interrupting him. While using his tongue, he also made a big hole in the back of his head.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, and then the workers burst into great indignation, thinking that the lord was trying to suppress them.
However, Purficott did not try to appease the workers at this time. She just fired a gun into the air again to attract everyone's attention. After ordering the city guards to maintain order, she stood guard by four steam knights in front of everyone's attention. When she came to the person she had just beaten to death, she asked the White Bear Knight beside her: "Is this the worker leader?"
"No, this is not it." The White Bear Knight identified it briefly and then gave He answered in the negative, and pointed to another man standing aside who was looking at Purfict with anger and remorse, and replied to Purfict: "That is the wanted worker leader I told you. "
Perfect looked up, looked at the other person, and then said directly to him: "Let these workers calm down. If you can't do it, I will ask the city guards to use guns to make them Shut up.
Of course, if you don’t want to talk, then I don’t mind letting the Steam Knights kill you all.”
This threat is immediate, especially the four Steam Knights. He directly smashed the heavy tower shield in his hand to the ground, making a dull sound.
When the worker leader was threatened by Purficott, he could only hold back his anger and ask the workers around him to calm down the emotions of others and make everyone quiet down.
Seeing that everyone finally quieted down, Purficott walked up to a stacked box, looked down at everyone, and asked them: "What on earth do you want to do? I Didn’t I give you wages? Or didn’t I give you a house to live in and food to eat?
Are I very strict with you? There are factories in the empire that require you to work continuously for 18 hours a day, but you only need to work one day. Eight hours, six hours to get familiar with your job, and at the same time, you also receive a salary that is 20% higher than that of your colleagues in the empire.
I think this kind of salary is very generous. , Why do you feel dissatisfied? Just because someone told you that your life is not as good as that of a noble?"
If Perficott just accuses these workers of being greedy, it will naturally have no effect.
But Purficott attaches great importance to the treatment of workers and has tried his best to give them good enough treatment.
So when Purficott opened his mouth to question, many workers quickly stopped talking. They were not dissatisfied with their current jobs.
It was only then that someone shouted to Purficott: "But they are going to take Barras away!"
Barras was the name of the labor leader.
