Chapter 125: Never be able to stand up again
Jiang Qi was born in a labor family in Taiyang.
His father once worked as a foreman, but he was ostracized because he was unwilling to deduct the wages of gangsters like other foremans, and eventually died under mysterious circumstances in the factory.
Later, his mother raised him alone. Before she died of exhaustion, she gave him all the family's savings and let him come to the college.
Hong Lili’s hometown is in the countryside under Zhulan. Originally, the family was prepared to send only her brother to school. However, during the heavy snowstorm caused by Qi Zicheng that year, her brother first fell ill and died, and then the whole family died one after another. She died because she was born after her family was sold to Zhulan, and there was no deed of sale left.
Finally, after her family members were all dead, she came to the college with the travel expenses that her parents would rather starve to death than spend.
Li Wei learned about the backgrounds of these two people from Zhu Long, and the information in the academy was not closed. They already knew about what happened to the sun and Zhulan.
After hearing Li Wei talk about this topic, Jiang Qi's eyes obviously had a different look than before.
“A week after the workers in Yuguang revolted, the news reached the college. At first I was excited about such a thing, but soon I became worried about their situation.”
he said seriously.
"The workers were very smart. They first occupied most of the barrier field area that supports the entire production of the sun, and also seized an intercity tunnel that can conduct trade with the outside world. In this way, they prevented their emergence, because the ore, iron, and coal of the sun cannot be sold. The resulting shortage of raw materials in other dungeons forced them to fall back to the situation of the Yaoguang military government."
"After taking control of the factory, the workers can sell directly to the outside world, saving the intermediate time. The layers of exploitation have caused the price of raw materials sold to the outside world to drop significantly. This has caused many underground cities to take a bystander attitude towards the war that is happening in the sun, because this incident has not affected them, but is beneficial to them. They are even willing to watch the war continue and secretly sell weapons to Yuguang workers."
"The central government's attitude is the same. After the workers announced their rebellion against the Sun government, they also claimed to recognize the central royal council cabinet. The rule of the Sun is still dominated by the central government. This is why a large number of nobles in the central government are very unhappy that the workers dare to rebel and become the master. However, because the geographical location of the sun is too remote, the impact on them is minimal. The central government only issued a decree to condemn the Yuguang laborers and asked them to put down their arms and accept the rule of the Yaoguang government as soon as possible, and then negotiate terms. "
"The situation of the laborers now looks very good, and the military government also. Because they only wanted to make money in Yaoguang, many people in Yaoguang fled. There were no soldiers, no support, and they were losing ground in frontal confrontations. But in fact, if the workers really broke into Yaoguang like this, If the government ousts the military government and establishes a government that is entirely decided by the workers themselves, then they are really close to death."
Jiang Qi was very clear when he said this. , and it is obvious that he has been paying attention to the development of the situation in the Sun. He cannot tell everything about what is happening there. It can also be said that he has collected all the news circulating outside, otherwise it would be impossible to analyze it so thoroughly.
This made Levi a little surprised by him, and he followed his words and asked.
“Why do you say that?”
“Other underground cities and the central government are not involved now because the workers do not yet have substantial political power. They only control factories and a trade line. This is not No matter what, the entire Sun is still in the hands of the military government, that is, the upper class nobles, and it can also bring them considerable benefits. But once the workers successfully occupy the entire Sun, the nature of everything will be different. "
"This goes against the underground world order established by the Central Committee in the new century since the end of the chaotic old century! This is definitely not allowed, and by that time, they don't even have to spend much effort. , Those workers who only relied on gunpowder and firearms to seize the power of the sun have no scientists who understand the rules at all."
"As long as the central government orders the Atmospheric Institute to directly stop maintaining the sun's weather, it will directly cause the sun to become a sun. A place of chaos. Then without further ado, a third-level scientist is dispatched from any nearby place to carry out a beheading operation. The fruits of laborers who have spent countless lives and spilled countless blood will be taken away again."
When he said this, Jiang Qi's tone had turned cold. He had obviously completely brought himself into the perspective of the workers, anxious and resentful.
“At that time, all the powerful people before Yaoguang have been cleared away, and the upper level of the center can re-divide the cake of the sun! All the benefits that the workers thought they had won will be divided again. ! After this time, the workers’ lives will be even more miserable than before!”
After listening to his story, Levi’s eyes became even more different and he asked.
"These things shouldn't be taught in the academy, right? Where did you learn them?"
The conversation has gone so deep, of course Jiang Qi has no need to hide it, he After drinking the water in the cup, he said in a low voice.
"Some things in geology require consulting a large amount of literature. The teachers asked me to do these tedious and meaningless tasks. In the central library of the college, I used this authority to read a lot of prohibited special admissions. Looking through books on sociology and politics that have never been taught in public. "
This couldn't help but make Li Wei look at him with admiration. There were many special students in the college who were indignant and confused about why the world had become like this. , but there are very few of them who have the opportunity and courage to actually get in touch with relevant knowledge.
Jiang Qi is obviously one of them.
Then, Li Wei's eyes turned to Hong Lili. This girl looked more plain. When Jiang Qi was talking, she had been eating, and she was eating very seriously, even if there was a drop of soup. If it falls on the table, she will tear off a small piece of skin from the steamed bun, then dip it clean and eat it carefully. "What about Zhulan? Classmate Hong, do you think the farmers in Zhulan have a chance to be like the workers in the Sun?"
Hong Lili tried hard to swallow the food in her mouth that was still chewed. She looked as simple as in a wheat field.
“I haven’t read as many books as Jiang Qi, but the situation of bamboo orchid farmers will only get worse. Not to mention mobilizing scientists, even if all the landowners in that city have been called Zhao Wei's good people were all killed, and the farmers were unable to organize any resistance. The local landowners had all become families, and their control of the land was extremely strict. Some time ago, some farmers were able to steal cars from Zhulan and escape to Taiyang. They have tried their best."
Although she did not analyze Zhulan's future situation as clearly as Jiang Qi did, she was indeed right.
In Zhulan, where all farmers were divided and differentiated and unable to unite and organize together, it was almost impossible for workers to collectively fight against the upper class like the Sun.
Zhulan can only find a way out by starting from the top and constantly weakening the landlords.
But this way out is ultimately the same as what Jiang Qi said is the most likely ending for Taiyang now. The central royal family and the Council of Ministers will never allow this to happen.
It is also very simple to regain control of the city. The rules are the horizontal ditch that ordinary people cannot cross!
Let alone the third level, even if a second level is sent to behead the government formed by workers or farmers, the results they have paid countless blood and human lives will eventually be in vain.
This is why the central government is not worried at all about the situation of the Sun, and has no intention of intervening prematurely.
They even wished that the workers had captured Yaoguang, so that they could have more cakes that could be divided directly after the war.
"In fact, the fundamental problem is that the most violent weapons in the world are no longer gunpowder, guns, and cannons. The privatization of rules allows individuals to completely surpass the power of the group. As long as the channels for people to control the rules are completely controlled, the oppressed people No matter how we unite and resist, it is all in vain.”
“That’s why the college established today’s special enrollment system. They need a lot of laboratory supplies, but they don’t want a group of people like us to have real access to it. Rules. As long as none of the descendants of farmers and laborers can grasp the original truth of the world, they will never be able to stand up!"
When Li Wei came to this conclusion, Jiang Qi fell into confusion. Silent, Hong Lili was still eating.
Such a conclusion is indeed desperate. As they said at the beginning, the more you know, the more you will want to end it with this world.
“But if you have the opportunity in the future to get a key like those formal students, what will you do?”
Levi was also eating, as if he casually put forward a hypothesis, a conjecture that had no basis at all.
Jiang Qi’s eyes became firm.
"I go back to the sun. Where is my home? Even if I die there, it will be enough. I don't want to be a mediocre beast. Only cattle and sheep don't know how to resist, even if the cost is death. , people will also fight!"
Hong Lili did not speak, she just stared at the wall in a daze, as if Li Wei's words were simply an unrealistic dream.
This dream has no use except to paralyze themselves.
Levi didn't ask any more questions. He pushed the dishes towards where Hong Lili and Jiang Qi were sitting.
"It's nice to meet you. I'm treating you today, so let's eat freely. As for the future."
He said softly.
“Who can say for sure.”
In this lively restaurant, Hong Lili and Jiang Qi met Li Wei for the first time, and were invited to eat for the first time. A sumptuous dinner was served.
