Chapter 244 Germination(1/2)
Little by little.
Step by step.
Whether it is in the kingdoms, within the empire, whether it is a workshop directly under Lu En's trust, or whether it is a workshop he founded on his own.
Spread outward slowly, firmly, and gradually.
The seeds originally sown by Lu En have begun to sprout. Although they are still very immature, they have already begun to sprout.
How much sweetness does it take for a person whose heart is full of pain to suppress the bitterness of life?
The answer is that a little bit is enough.
People don't need to be famous, famous or infamy to be happy.
Therefore, whether it is Lu En, whether it is other people, whether it is a workshop, or a settlement,
All their lives they are just poor farmers and tenants who are treated like cattle and horses. If they encounter such an organization and have hope, they will follow it even if they risk their lives, because following such an organization makes this life meaningful, just like an individual.
Because of this, the new shoots held their heads high, and the sparks gradually ignited on the ground.
However, the gods high in the sky disdain to look at the sprouts on the soil.
However, the nobles in the palace canopy never paid attention to the few sparks on the ground.
What they will notice is the dazzling Lu En, the extremely terrifying magic 9, the bloodline of the king of hell, the terrifying existence that can be blessed by the power of the realm and temporarily upgraded to level 10.
If you want to live freely, you can't be too bright, because there will be people watching you.
Therefore, Urathil and Sid unanimously made the judgment that the King of Monsters would surely be destroyed after it flourished, without any improvement to the current situation.
However, only Lu En himself knew that all this was intentional.
A nation with numerous heroes is an unfortunate nation, but it always needs heroes as a guide, whether they are targets or road signs.
He founded the Province of Ontario and became so domineering that everyone thought he would start construction here, develop his ambitions, and use this place as his base.
Therefore, they are not worried about the rapid development of the King of Monsters, because Anluo is very barren. There is no lack of land there, but there is a serious lack of real land, that is, arable land.
Much of the sloping dry ground can also be said to be slippery because landslides often occur.
Most of the places that can be cultivated and are not saline-alkali land are strip-shaped patches between ground cracks and streams. But even in these places, the land is just plain and may be cultivated, but the crops grown are affected by very steep slopes.
There are strict restrictions, both in terms of quantity and quality. Rice and other valuable crops can only be grown in extremely limited fertile river valleys, and it is difficult to survive elsewhere.
Lu En also knew this. But he still did it. In the eyes of others, this was to reassure the empire and make the empire believe that he would not use his troops for his own purposes or rebel. At most, he would be domineering and domineering.
It will be suppressed very quickly, and the foundation of any major force far exceeds that of the King of Monsters.
This is the folly of the nobility and the church.
Because there is no intention to build Ontario into a prosperous area in Luen. This is limited by geography.
His real base is in the empire, in the kingdoms, and even within the church!
He doesn't need territory at all, because there are thousands of people who are still living in ignorance and accepting oppression! Where they are, where they gather, is Lu En's territory!
The short-sighted emperor and the pope all regard Lu En as their enemy, and are wary of Lu En's magic and Kara's dragon claws, fearing that magic and dragon claws will disrupt their rule. They simply don't know that the real power never lies in Lu En.
En, his magic can never shake the rule of the empire, but the power of the people certainly can!
The King of Monsters himself is just a bait and a scabies disease, but the political system of the entire empire, as well as the tens of billions of suffering people below, are the real harm! It is enough to overthrow the entire empire, destroy the heavens, and crush the emperor.
authority!
However, now we need to do it step by step.
Lu En propped his chin with his hand, sat in the desert of Ontario, and looked at the scenery in the distance.
There are few real mountains in Ontario, only endless broken mountains and isolated hills. As the sunlight shifts, the steep angles, shadows and colors of these hills change strangely. At dusk, the purple mountains
It forms a magnificent ocean, with dark velvet-like folds flowing from top to bottom, like a girl's pleated skirt, until it reaches a ravine that seems to be bottomless.
Everyone else was repairing the settlement, and many things were damaged in the aftermath of the battle. Only Lu En was enjoying the rare quiet time here.
He had not been here long. Half an hour ago, he had finished his meal casually. Kara was still cleaning up, but he picked up a lamp and turned around to the mountains in the distance without participating in the reconstruction.
There are some books beside him.
Customs and customs, strange stories, alchemy essays, humanities and history.
The more books you read, the more you will know about the empire.
In addition, the slavery system is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so there is no other good way except the innovation of production tools and spiritual propaganda, which will take time to develop.
Reading books, looking at the scenery, thinking about problems, thinking about plans, time passed so quickly, and it was late at night soon.
The night wind blew, and Lu En looked outside, then disappeared and returned to the room. Kara had already made the bed, but the black dragon himself didn't know where he had gone.
With the help of professional craftsmen, all the reconstruction work was very fast. At this time, it was almost completed, and everyone returned to their rooms to sleep.
There was only one Elaine here, and Jin Long was kneeling on the chair with both feet, holding on to the table, sleeping soundly.
Lu En was puzzled. Why would a true dragon, a race that lays eggs and does not need the ability to breastfeed at all, use it?
She was lying here in this strange posture, as if she was waiting for Lu En to come back, but she fell asleep before she could wait, and Lu En didn't wake her up when he came back.
This is also a very strange thing. Kara never sleeps. She said that she sleeps for a hundred years at a time every two to three hundred years, and then she can stay awake for a long time. But Elaine, the lazy dragon, is different.
, she not only takes a long nap every two hundred years, but she also insists on sleeping for more than twelve hours every day.
From this point of view, Elaine will definitely live longer than Carla. It is said that the lazier people will live longer.
Thinking of this, Lu En untied his robe, put on a thin inner lining, lifted up the quilt and lay down in it, leaving Elaine to sleep on the table alone, while he began to take a good rest.
He hasn't slept for a while. Even though he is an extraordinary creature, it is still good to take a nap, which can relieve his mental fatigue.
He was already very tired.
He can teleport and move around within the empire, so in fact, he roughly completed the system of the scattered workshops, and the rest was supplemented by the local person in charge.
Not all jobs are like the protagonists in those novels, where you can win by giving orders, fighting bravely, and constantly challenging with passion.
More things are ordinary and trivial, but vital and enough to lay the foundation for everything.
He learned almost all the local conditions from reports from various places. For example, he knew that the Star Maple King City where Livia was located was the largest and best developed at present. There were 114 professional craftsmen there, and there were
Forty-six people are married, and only twenty have children. In addition, in order to maintain their development, Livia also has several quilt factories, a shoe factory, a sock factory, and a pharmaceutical factory.
It is also equipped with a pharmacy and two doctors' outpatient clinics.
The initial source of money for establishing these assembly line factories came from the income of each workshop. The refined iron produced by blast furnaces and assembly lines was a huge benefit.
Factory workers’ monthly wages are calculated on a piece-by-piece basis, and their meals and accommodation are provided by the workshop. Workers can receive free medical care, and work-related injuries can be compensated. Of course, there are limits. They do not have the ability to treat difficult and complicated diseases, but simple
Illnesses and injuries are not difficult to deal with.
Female workers are given four months of leave during pregnancy and childbirth without any deduction of wages, and a simple nursery is set up for the workers' children. However, as far as Lu En knows, most of the children are still basically like wild children, and there is no solution for this problem for the time being.
, unless some people are allowed to take off work to take care of the children, which is unlikely because there are not enough manpower.
Lu En came up with an idea for Livia, asking her to clean up the red light district, rescue some people, and rescue the exploited prostitutes. Most of these are young girls. After some education and enlightenment, they should be able to do simple nursing work.
and take on the work of taking care of children.
Mother workers can receive part of the "social insurance", which is a fund deducted from the wages of all workers and an equal amount of subsidies within the workshop. This is a subsidy for them.
The workshop spends an amount equivalent to 2% of the total salary for workers' entertainment expenses. They sometimes invite theater troupes to perform. Of course, more often they simply buy sweets for everyone to try, usually once a week.
They are all very satisfied with this.
These funds are jointly managed by trade unions and federations of workers' organizations. They work six days a week, eight hours a day, with people working around the clock, twenty-four hours a day, and three shifts. In this era, perhaps the most
It’s a busy place because the vicious work system of three shifts has not yet been born in this world.

It sounds good, but in fact the status quo is still very bitter. All these regulations seem to be very progressive. After all, they are still too busy to survive. Lu En has done his best to achieve this situation.
Livia's workshop has a hospital, a school, and a spacious dormitory, but these are all in a very simple environment, with no bathing facilities, not enough medicine and manpower, and not even enough lights.
They had food supplies, but all Livia could provide was enough staple food to feed everyone, with very few vegetables, seasonings, and the occasional meat, and nothing delicious.
The current situation is still grim. For the modern workers that Lu En knew, this kind of life is too difficult. It can be called a sweatshop, but it is not like this for these people.
Their past life was more difficult. Only by comparing it with the past can we understand why they are loyal to the workshop and are happy with their current life. In the past, they had to sit or stand for fourteen or five hours a day and work the next day.
Exhausted after the shift, they lay down on their beds - that is, the dirty quilts spread under the tools and fell asleep. Then, they repeated this process until they died, all year round.
As the horrific death rate of prostitutes in Star Maple King City shows, the tens of thousands of corpses collected in the streets and outer rivers of Star Maple King City, as well as in mass graves in the suburbs, are all of the extremely poor.
Compared with the corpses of the poor, the starved corpses of the children they could not feed, and the corpses of drowned infants, they felt very happy.
For these workers in the Star Maple King City or the Principality of Orang, no matter how primitive and simple their life is, at least it is a healthy life with exercise, fresh air to breathe, freedom, dignity, hope, all these
There is ample room for development.
They know that no one is getting rich by exploiting them, and that the fruits of their hard work will eventually be rewarded to themselves. These workers are uneducated, but they are not stupid. They realize that they are working for themselves and the compatriots around them, and
They said they were in the same group and in a federation.
So they attach great importance to two hours of reading and writing every day, political classes, and theater troupes. Why do they seriously participate in individual or group competitions held in sports, culture, health, posters, and efficiency improvement, even though the prizes are pitiful.
Because all these things are practical things to them, things they have never enjoyed before, and things that have never been seen in any other workshop in the world, all this is opened in front of him and them.
