Compared with the jealous gambling game among the rich and powerful, the workers in the dock area seem to be calm in asking for wages.
Only a few sentences were briefly mentioned in the news column of "Backlund Morning News".
"Yesterday, a workers' wage protest broke out in the dock area, with about 500 participants. After a dispute, the wage arrears issue was resolved peacefully, and the workers participating in the movement dispersed after receiving their wages. During the incident, three people provoked The outraged agent tragically died and many others were injured."
Almost no one knows that the recently famous bounty hunter Rexxar was also involved in this incident and was also the leader of the incident.
The next day, after confirming the situation through the newspaper, Varina came to the Workers' Union Tavern again in the afternoon.
Although he stayed in the tavern until midnight yesterday, the wages that should be paid were not actually paid out.
After all, there are always people who are not informed, or can’t spare the time, so they can’t come as soon as possible.
Of course, this situation is also what Varina expected.
Before his influence has been implemented and expanded, money is still the greatest attraction and persuasion, which can help him win over his audience.
Since the things here have not attracted the attention and attention of the big shots, he obviously still has a lot of time to make soup.
There were not too many customers in the tavern in the afternoon.
After Varina entered, the workers sitting in the small area to the left of the bar quickly stood up and cheered.
This shows that his efforts last night were effective.
Basically, every time a worker came up to receive wages, Varina would have a few words with him, and by the way, he would say one or two slogans to spread ideas.
Of course, these slogans are actually very mild. They are basically similar to "Unity is strength" and "Workers are great producers." They are mainly conclusive arguments that win favor and make people think.
Varina walked into the "base area" won in the tavern the night before, walked among the workers, and continued his activities.
…
Soon, a week passed.
The workers on the list have all paid their unpaid wages long ago, but the number of workers who choose to sit in the "base area" while drinking has actually increased.
They agreed with Varina's point of view and felt a sense of gain when listening to the lecture.
Anyway, they were just drinking to kill time. Instead of wasting it on useless bragging and gossip, it would be better to listen to this kind of speech that could make you feel uplifted.
At this time, the content of Varina's speech had begun to turn to argument.
He was demonstrating his previous slogan.
As for the arguments used, most of them are unsystematic theoretical points excavated from memory, and a small part are his own insights and thinking.
At this time, he was mainly saying that workers, as the main force in labor production, are the providers of the kingdom and the cornerstone of society.
People who accept this point of view can easily think of a question——
Since the worker group is so important and has contributed so much, why do workers live so miserable lives?
At first, all Varina said was "unity."
It is precisely because workers are not united enough that they compete viciously with each other and are forced to make concessions until they reach the bottom line of life and death, with no way to retreat.
After many people thought about it and couldn't help but bring it up, he agreed: "Indeed, we get too little, and we deserve higher wages."
"But it needs to be fought for! And fighting for it requires methods."
The recognition was followed by a turning point, and Varina began to guide further.
…
Another week has passed, and January has come to an end.
The situation in the Workers' Union Tavern has undergone new changes - the two relatively independent areas, large and small, have been interchanged.
Originally, Varina's "base" was a small area on the left side of the bar, where ordinary drinkers gathered in the large area;
But now, more and more people are being mobilized by Varina, and instead the normal drinkers are crowded into a small area.
During this period, Warina continued to spread the concept that "workers are the cornerstone" while discussing with them methods and goals for fighting for their rights.
By this time, he was no longer sitting at a table alone.
Based on his observations over the past half month, Varina selected three advanced individuals who he believed had the most profound thinking and were able to internalize his general ideas to a certain extent.
Burton is one of them.
There is also Mark, they are all young people who have participated in the wage-demanding incident;
There is also a middle-aged man in his forties, a very wise ship repairman at the East Balam Shipyard, named Makarov Gomez.
Due to the limitations of the times and class, the methods and goals they envisioned were intuitive.
strike march——
This is what most people think, and it is basically the only way they can think of.
This is of course not wrong, but in fact the effect will not be very good, because this is essentially asking the vested interests to transfer their interests.
However, in such an extraordinary world, ordinary people can basically only do this.
Any ideological power actually needs to be supported by a corresponding material foundation, otherwise it is just a fantasy and nonsense.
In other words, without the support of a true god, without the support of a few angels and demigods and a considerable number of mid-level extraordinary people, if the protest action goes a little too far, it will be a disaster.
Of course, Varina would not knowingly and intentionally step on the red line.
In fact, he had planned it from the beginning. While controlling the level of protest, he also found a strong enough protective umbrella.
increase salary--
This is a common goal recognized by all workers, but when it comes to quantifying the details, no one can say a specific plan;
In addition, a few people have thought of reducing the cost of living.
To put it bluntly, this is what the broad working class has been calling for intermittently - the repeal of the Corn Bills.
It can be said that the repeal of the Corn Bills is something that is bound to happen, and even if it is allowed to take its course, it will happen in the near future.
If this is the goal, the resistance to action will be greatly reduced and the senior management will not be truly offended.
After all, the person who most wants to repeal the Corn Laws is probably King George III.
If it were not for the strong opposition of the conservative nobles, King George III would have ordered the repeal of the Corn Act long ago, and there would be no need to wait until now.
After all, this is part of his ceremony to become a god!
For this reason, it is actually Varina's main target.
It's an inevitable trend, and the conditions for its realization are almost all in place, which means Varina only needs a push to accomplish his goal - which is within his capabilities.
In addition, the abolition of the "Corn Act" will have a huge and far-reaching impact on society, covering all classes, upper, middle and lower classes, and will cause many disasters - this meets the needs of his performance.
It can be said that this is the gentlest way of acting that Varina can think of while ensuring the speed of digestion.
If it can be executed perfectly, then there is only one problem he needs to worry about.
There is no turning back when the bow is drawn.
Varina only hopes that the development of the situation will not go too far beyond the few predictions he made.
