Fuli seemed very unhappy: "They don't even think about it, who talks the loudest in this camp? The Supervisor is the loudest! These people will stop working because of the large number of people and the support of the nobles. When the Supervisor comes back,

None of them will end well! Maybe we will be hurt even more!" Fuli cursed, blowing his beard and glaring.

Adusa smiled and said nothing. Mr. Fuli was the kind of person who was afraid of being blamed from above.

He is not afraid, he just thinks that it would be too pitiful for such a good person to not get friendly repayments from others. It does not mean that good people must be rewarded with good things, because Adu himself often does not get good rewards, and many

A person who repays kindness with hatred.

But...when meeting such a person, Adu wants to try his best to prevent the other person from being like him.

Mr. Fuli looked at Adu with doubt because he stopped again.

"Ah! Sorry, I was in a daze again!" Adu came to his senses immediately, apologized hurriedly, put everything out of his mind, and returned to work.

This kind of thing is not just one or two. In such an environment, there are still some people who maintain their enthusiasm for work, accounting for about 5% of the total number of people.

This made Lu En, who was observing everything around him from beginning to end, feel very pleased.

This is what he pursues, because it is unrealistic to rely on ideas for everything. What makes the real masses act is not ideas, but "correctly understood interests."

It is precisely in order to fight for their own "correctly understood interests" that the people rely on moral power and tireless enthusiasm to oppose the special and crude interests of some individuals, so they can take action.

But how to determine this ‘correctly understood interest’?

The interests of weak, oppressed and poor people can never develop into the common interests of a class, so they are often exploited by the bourgeoisie and cannot unite.

In their eyes, those "incorrect interests" lead to competition. Because of these "narrow interests", one person will appear blocking the way of another, and everyone will try to squeeze out the rest and occupy their position.

Such a stupid thing.

So when they can live a good life to a certain extent without competing, they immediately fall into the hedonic trap.

Because they are driven by "narrow interests" and do not understand what "correctly understood interests" are. This "narrow interests" prompts them to make the choice that seems happiest in the short term, but in the long term, this is

Extremely stupid thing.

But we can't blame them, and Lu En also knows that we shouldn't blame them.

Because they are the most helpless. If they rely only on themselves, they will not be able to survive for a day. The bourgeoisie has monopolized all means of production.

Everything these people need can only be obtained from the bourgeoisie, just like now. You see, these proletarians cannot get the daily food and materials they need by themselves. They all have to rely on the land.

Only then can he and the technicians have food and drink.

What about those technicians? They actually have the ability to support themselves, but can they do it on their own?

No, it's not possible, because all Lu En's monopoly on this camp is protected by state power. Without Lu En's permission, they can't even activate the magic circle to purify sewage.

Therefore, the proletarians are legally and factually slaves of the bourgeoisie like Lu En, and the bourgeoisie holds the power of life and death over them.

He gave them the means of living, but took back the "equivalent", that is, the labor of these workers.

Lu En even gave these workers an illusion, as if they were acting according to their own will, as if they were free as autonomous people, without any coercion and signed a contract with Lu En, a property owner.

.

What a freedom!

In fact, these workers have no choice but to accept the conditions Lu En proposed to them. Unless they choose to starve to death, die of thirst, or go alone to find a hiding place in another place in hell, there is no choice.

room.

It is precisely because of this situation that 95% of people choose to be lazy.

It is profitable for them. Since working hard can get nothing, why not be lazy?

Property is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few people, while the majority of the people are becoming increasingly poor. In this way, sharp hostility has arisen between a handful of rich people and countless poor people. If workers can be lazy, they will definitely be lazy.

You will never work unless you are whipped.

This hostility is a true reflection of the situation in the camp today.

This is what Lu En wants to change.

————————

This situation probably lasted for about another week.

After this week, even the technicians began to waver. They are all educated people, with years of training, knowledge and education, and are in the middle and upper classes of society. In some small towns, they are even the top in the city.

Professionals enjoy fame and respect from others.

This respect comes from their skills. They are neither born to become superiors by blood, nor do they gain money by buying and selling and speculating like some businessmen. These technicians use their superb skills to win all kinds of materials in life for themselves.

and actual respect.

But even these people have begun to slack off.

"Hey, Tuke, you are here again? I heard that you have won a lot recently? You are very good at poker!" A man wearing craftsmen's work clothes put his legs on the table and greeted the passing foreman.

This is a hand-built balcony around the barracks. There is a card table and several chess boards inside, which were only recently made. Of course, the man in front of me in work clothes is doing these.

His name is Jenkins Lang, a craftsman with skills of Stonemason 4, Alchemy 2, and Magic 1. He is considered to be above average among technicians, not top-notch, but definitely first-rate.

Jenkins had a very lively mind, and he was the first to realize that workers were starting to entertain themselves, so he first made a few playing cards, opened a small casino, and then took other technicians to invest in shares, built a golf course, and then secretly cooperated with

Other technicians who invested in the company negotiated and increased the prices of various types of meat.

Yes, the meat and water that were originally provided for free are now charged. The reason he gave is also very legitimate. Now it is the technicians who are meeting the needs of the workers. The maintenance of the magic circle and the breeding farm are all done by technicians.

You did it! It’s natural to collect money!

The workers don't have any objections to this, because the cost is not much, their current wages are calculated on a daily basis, and the units are gold coins. Those few copper coins don't sound like much, so they give it as it is.

In this way, Jenkins can make a lot of money. It seems that a few copper coins are not much, but they are doing business without capital. The cost is the expenditure of the empire. They are only responsible for maintenance, and the maintenance itself is also rich.

The wages of technicians are much higher than those of laborers!

Now, this way, they had enough motivation. In the absence of the superintendent, Jenkins gathered a group of technicians and first offered the money to the military and nobles as escorts as usual. The military did not accept the offer.

Money didn't stop them from doing this kind of thing.

The nobles took the money and were happy to see the results. Anyway, the more chaotic the situation in the camp, the happier they were.

After finishing both aspects, Jenkins started his plan. First, he won over the technicians, paid some laborers, and asked them to help him build a simple casino, produce playing cards, chess pieces, boards, or other things to make a profit.

, and sales are excellent.

Then a new stadium was built and entry was charged.

Finally, he opened a casino, just like it is now, gambling and money, taking advantage of the fact that workers have no culture and can only use such basic things to enjoy themselves, and made a lot of money. Now Jenkins is thinking about how to use hell

If you can make wine using local materials, you will definitely make a lot of money!

Jenkins was very proud of this, thinking that he had found a way to make a fortune, and he also concluded a truth.

If anyone does not do things for some of his own needs and desires at the same time, then this person can't do anything. Desires brought by various organs must be the first driving force for people!

Relying on this motto, his money has grown rapidly in the past month or so. Ten thousand people consume entertainment and eat and drink every day, which is not a small amount!

Foreman Tuke spat: "Bah, I am not gambling in your casino, so it is none of your business. I tell you, now you have to spit out all the dirty money you made, and damn, you have to collect the water too.

Qian, when the superintendent comes back, you will have something to look at!"

Tu Ke cursed. He knew very well that even the casinos and stadiums had to be charged for food and water. Is this something humans do?

"Hey, what you are saying is, is the food made by us? Is the water purified by us? We have made everything and you can just eat. Why do we charge you some money!? What's the problem?

Is that so? You don’t even want to pay for it, so you just want to eat for free? Do you have any conscience?" Jenkins stood up and rolled his eyes.

"Doing this was originally arranged by the superiors! Aren't you the one who stepped in to collect the second payment?! How dare you talk to me about your conscience after your conscience has been eaten by a dog?!" Tu Ke cursed loudly.

"Then you have the ability to do it yourself! Is it arranged by the superiors? You go and ask the superiors. You also know where the superiors' barracks are. Ask the masters. My affairs are all approved by the masters! Supervisor

I don’t have any objections. Even the commander of the escort team acquiesced. Why do you, an old bastard, talk so much here? You talk so much. If you have the guts, don’t buy it! I’m not used to catching food in the swamp by myself.

Look at you guys, fuck, people over there, listen, from now on, the price of water purchased in Tuke will be doubled! I want to see if you buy it or not, or is the wastewater pit over there, where grandpa pees every day?

, I hope you enjoy the drink!" Jenkins also became angry and began to curse.

At this time, Tu Ke's veins bulged out in anger, but he had no other good solution besides scolding him, because the other party was really capable of doing that kind of thing.

All clean water needs to be brought up from the water purification magic array. If those technicians really block that place, no one will have water to drink.

Seeing Tu Ke's appearance, Jenkins jumped even more fiercely, scolding and taunting him at the same time. Tu Ke was so angry that his teeth almost broke, and he clenched his fists, but he couldn't really do anything.

When many people gathered around because of the commotion here, the matter finally attracted the attention of the escort. The army immediately came to evacuate the crowd and ordered everyone to leave, and the matter finally ended.

But this is just the beginning. Tuke will really need to double the amount of water and meat he buys in the future.

The price of water is not expensive, and double the price is not unaffordable. However, this incident has greatly affected Tu Ke's prestige. As a foreman, prestige is very important. This makes him miserable and needs to do a lot of things.

Make up for it.

But for those workers who always felt that Tu Ke was the leader, this was an insult to them. They were all filled with indignation, and nearly a thousand people surrounded Jenkins, demanding an explanation.

Jenkins finally apologized under pressure and was released, but when he left, he gritted his teeth and stared at the group of workers who had found their place.

Damn it! What a bunch of idiots! How dare you do this to him?! This group of people is not just from Tuke. He saw other workers he didn’t know inside. These people probably think what Tuke said makes sense.

, so I came to take revenge.

Jenkins ran away quickly, but his eyes flickered. He was a cultured person and would not use violence in return, but he had other methods.
