Chapter 359 Time (Part 2)(1/2)
Late at night, Nana sat on top of Mark, putting her hands on the back of her head as pillows, enjoying the cool night breeze.
Life is getting better and better and more stable.
Anluo has developed very well, and she has also developed very well. She has not been promoted in these years because of lack of ability, so she has always been the leader of an ordinary caravan below, responsible for leading the caravan around the country.
There are hundreds of caravans like hers in Anluo now.
She has no particularly big ambitions, and her abilities are not outstanding. To be honest, she is still level 3.
Unlike the genius Bai, she is just an ordinary person. Her talent level is 3, which is probably the limit of her life. Being an ordinary caravan leader is already pretty good.
Not everyone can be promoted, nor can it be achieved through exercise. For most people, if they can't do it, they just can't do it, and they can't do it even if they work hard.
The master can do such great things and rekindle the hope of so many people. This is something that I will never be able to do.
But there is always something you can do, right?
As a flexible caravan that travels throughout the empire, it is the best information collection frontier. It can also exchange information and link up organizations in various places, allowing them to know the situation of their nearby companions.
Even if they have never been masked, the sense of belonging this brings can prevent them from eventually going wild, losing their program, and becoming an independent organization.
In order to accomplish this, Anluo even issued its own newspaper, which was not distributed to the outside world, but was distributed by caravans like them. There were basically only four or five copies in each city.
There are no secrets in it, most of them are study materials, songs newly written by Elaine, lines of encouragement for each other, etc. There is even a humorous joke section, which contains some jokes about class content. The person who wrote this is a literary person
5's Apostle of Heaven has very good writing skills. In the future, someone will definitely imitate his writing style and format to write this kind of joke, and then apply it in various places. This will definitely happen.
Every time Nana comes to a new city, she will distribute newspapers, circulate various supplies, and exchange needed supplies. There will never be a backlog in one place that cannot be used, or there will be no situation where work cannot be started in some places.
She thinks the current form is pretty good.
It's great. It would be great if it could always be like this. A meaningful job, a lot of salary, a bunch of like-minded friends, and white...
Well, I haven't seen Bai Bai for a long time. I'll go to her place after this trip~.
——————————
Angie still only has one hand, but fortunately, she has long been used to having only one hand.
Besides, it’s been so many years, so what if you can’t get used to it?
She is dressed in an ordinary peasant outfit, but her hands and feet are all alchemical prostheses, which are very conspicuous. She is dressed very smartly, her hair is tied up tightly, and her face is weathered.
Not beautiful at all, with dry skin and dry hair, but this is what most people look like.
She has now left Apidou and arrived at Rial in the east of the empire. This is a large plain. Almost two-thirds of the plain is the private land of the Wallenstein family. It is the headquarters of the landowner barons. Only a few
Only part of it belongs to other people or is common land.
Here, almost all residents are farmers, a small part of them are yeoman farmers, most of them are tenant farmers of the Wallenstein family, and a very small part of them are serfs.
She has been here for four or five years and established a new organization among the serfs. It has nothing to do with the federation. It is a different set of things dedicated to redeeming the serfs.
Standing on the edge of the village, she looked into the distance and saw an endless plain.
The plains are excellent land. The terrain is flat or slightly undulating, but there are absolutely no obstacles from steep hills.
There are almost no stones, rocks or trees, and you can even farm directly on it without any preparation. There is no need for cleaning and drainage. You only need to plow and you can sow seeds.
It is very fertile and can harvest wheat twenty or thirty times in a row without fertilizing. This is land suitable for farming on the largest scale, and is being farmed on the largest scale. On these lands, patches of crops grow wantonly.
Countless people work on it, live on it, and die on it.
But this land has never belonged to them.
Subconsciously he touched his severed hand.
What is the gentleman who helped me so many years ago doing now?
She must be doing something much greater than what she is doing now.
"Miss Anji, everyone is here, everyone is ready to go find that bastard!" Behind him, hundreds of skinny farmers shouted...

Muscle knots, green skin, and huge fangs are the characteristics of the orcs.
But wearing a scholar's robe is not a characteristic of an orc.
But this is Luo's characteristic.
He is the only orc in the entire Anluo City who has received the title of professor. Unlike other companions who are full of muscles and practice fighting, his brain is better than most people.
Better than most people, not most orcs.
Standing on the lecture table, he took out the courseware he had prepared in advance for today.
"Professor Luo, today's class is still about sociological relations?" asked a monster student at the bottom. It was a centaur, thought to be the son of the new monster aristocrat.
"No, let's talk about the economy today." Luo straightened his messed up collar and said.
"However, economy and society are always inseparable, and our lesson today is transportation."
"As we all know, since the current airship system has been extended to all parts of the country, the new airship developed by our school teachers has now occupied most of the airship market. This new type of airship is more stable, consumes less energy, and is easier to control than before.
, even the cost has been significantly reduced, so brand-new airships have been rolled out across the empire in these years."
“This form has greatly encouraged the habit of short-term ordering, especially in trade. For example, ten years ago, cotton buyers in Apidou had to come from Grasbourg every fifteen days because of the old-style
The cycle time of airships is fifteen days, so we have to wait until then before we can purchase them in batches."
"But recently, they no longer do what they usually do, but place orders that must be delivered immediately. In previous years, we could always prepare the needs for the next season in advance during the off-season, but now no one can predict what will be needed.
Because new airships have improved transportation efficiency, the original habit of booking in advance has gradually turned into placing orders suddenly.”
"A large number of nobles and wealthy businessmen, relying on the expansion of new airships, have developed the habit of making sudden orders."
"During the so-called peak seasons, appalling overwork periodically prevails due to unexpected orders. In those branches of factories, workshops and shops, that is, in the already highly irregular sphere of domestic labor, raw materials and orders are completely
Depending on the buyer's mood or even impulse, what kind of phenomenon will this condition lead to?" Luo knocked on the table and asked the students below.
He is already a very dignified professor, instead of the trembling little orc who ran out with the Demon King after the Demon King's city was broken.
He did not wait for the students to answer, because it was impossible for the students to answer this question.
So he asked himself and answered: "The result is that urgent orders have become normal. You don't even have to eat, and you have to work overtime. When urgent orders suddenly appear, working hours are often extended until midnight, or even until midnight."
Anytime!”
"This kind of ordering habit may make a worker so exhausted in the first half of the month that he sleeps less than ten hours in total. In the second half of the month, he is almost forced to wander around without getting any wages because there is no work to do.
.”
"The increasing number of fickle orders due to convenience has two specific manifestations."
"First, there are often people who cannot find work and fall into poverty because merchants and workshop owners dare not spend capital to hire helpers until they know what is going to be ordered."
"Secondly, after urgent orders are placed, there are not enough helpers. Therefore, in order to ensure business needs within a season or six months, they must recruit many apprentices, so they will recruit farmers with high salaries, thus removing farmers from the land.
As a result, the countryside is short of manpower and the cities are overcrowded. When there are no orders, they will fire those idle workers to save costs. The large number of laid off workers will fill the cities with beggars.
"
"Please express your opinions and thoughts on this issue. How can we solve this problem?"
The students in the class began to think, and then began to express their opinions, and Luo nodded from time to time and made comments.
But how to solve the problem?
If someone asked Luo, he could only spread his hands and say helplessly: "I don't know."
He really doesn't know that this is not just a simple problem. This problem can be said to involve all aspects of society, and it cannot be solved by simply solving it.
I'm afraid, only the man who created Anluo can solve this problem.
——————————
For many years, Kesto was still running a chamber of commerce in Orang, and secretly maintained the Orang Federation in his own workshop and mine.
Over the past many years, many incidents have occurred in the city where Kesno operates.
However, under the covert advocacy of the Federation and Kesto, it was also a year of great harvest for the workers. Almost all actions achieved great results.
The city's rapid progress was won by the great sacrifices made by the most active participants in the labor movement.
The city hall initially imposed heavy persecution, fines, and even imprisonment and torture on workers who rebelled.
These hardships have befallen them one after another, but they are not afraid. Many leaders are even mentally prepared to spend most of their lives in prison.
But later events proved that such sentences were mostly short-term, ranging from two weeks to three months. Even the longest detention was only two and a half years in prison for two of the most famous movement agitators.
They were all breaking into City Hall without permission.
The flexible laws of the Principality of Oran can provide many reasons for taking such measures, and in places where these reasons are lacking, judges are often willing to invoke the kind of provisions that can be used to convict in a far-fetched way.
But later, with the secret assistance of Kestor, the workers sent their representatives to try their luck in the upper class.
This was a great move, as two workers’ representatives were elected in the city hall council elections at that time!
As a result, in the factory area, due to the tilt of the upper class, almost one-third of the mines are led by the management organization secretly established by Kestor.
They later repeated their same tactics, and every seat they won in parliament helped prove to the government that they must take workers seriously in the future.
Although the real leaders of the city hall are the nobles, the bureaucracy is the weapon that the nobles must use to rule the city.
To be continued...
