Seeing that this gathering had obviously more people than the previous ones, Lan Nuo nodded with satisfaction. After telling everyone about today's lesson, he clapped his hands: "You should still remember what we discussed yesterday. The female workers who supplied Rodriguez today should be here, right?
If there are no other female workers in the East District who are willing to supply him, we will work out a process. Should we cut off his supply, or we should discuss electing a representative to negotiate directly with the factory so that the factory can cut out the middleman. Everyone. People can earn more. "
There was a discussion in the audience, and soon someone said: "Of course we must drive that guy out completely. Rodriguez, who has a little power in his hands, is showing off his power in front of us. Last time he came to my place to arrest him." Goods, you have to be with me... to be willing to reap the rewards. If we are the kind of people who are willing to be street girls, we don’t have to work so hard every day. It’s not much easier to make some money while we are young. The rest of the sisters I'm afraid I'm also deeply disturbed by it.
It’s just that we don’t have experience. How should we contact the factory owners directly? Will the factory owners impose more stringent conditions if we contact them in person? "
Lan Nuo listened to the opinions of a few more people and nodded: "If you don't have experience, you have to learn from experience. Since you can spare time to come to my party every day, you can naturally do less work during the day and go inquire about related factories. Rodri Gus must supply more than one factory. In the past, I bullied you and I didn’t have the time or energy to investigate these things. But now that we are organized, we might as well form a team and go to each factory in turn to investigate and inquire. We, the Mo family, can also send a few The representative will accompany you so that you will not be lied to or deceived during negotiations.
Our purpose is to strive for benefits for everyone, but now that everyone has little savings on hand, the means to strive for benefits can only be relatively mild, and we can try to remove these middlemen layer by layer, so that those who are lying on our side can only be relatively mild. The profits gained by the blood-sucking moths on our bodies also belong to us.
You can also contact some vegetable vendors and farmers in the future. If you can directly open up the trade routes between urban and rural areas, without having to let the intermediary gangs resell, you will definitely make a lot of profits. Mo will help you contact these things. If you can make a profit, I won’t take it, but I hope to take 10% to 20% of it as funds for your future activities, to compensate those who work for your benefit, and to prepare food and weapons for things like strikes in the future.
Now that you have not obtained these benefits, they are not considered to be things that the Mohist has taken from you. "
Everyone nodded. Since these are things that no one has yet, they cannot be taken away, so there is no objection.
They each discussed the next charter. Now, both the Mohist family and the newly organized workers and female workers are still too weak. It may be difficult to directly confront the aristocratic capitalists.
But there are many social classes, and it is not black and white. It does not mean that apart from the oppressed workers, there are only capitalists and aristocrats. There are naturally gangs in the city. Officials and businessmen collude to monopolize trade, and even arrogantly collect protection fees in some areas, leaving small businessmen The vendors were in panic all day long.
Lan Nuo had encountered these people when he was selling pancakes and fruits. However, he had enough force. Even if he was still relatively weak, he beat these people with bruises and swollen faces. However, if ordinary traders faced their beatings, they would not be able to do anything. Without the power to fight back, these are also the people lying on the lowest level sucking blood.
If technology does not develop, the wealth created by labor in a short period of time will not increase significantly. If you want everyone in the organization to benefit, then this benefit must come from others. If you can't touch the nobles, why can't you touch these gangs?
The ferocious man who seems to be brave and fierce, but if he is really faced with the sticks and stabs trained like an array of spears, he will only dare to hide his head and run away in embarrassment. If you really think that gangsters can have any fighting power, you are thinking too much. The real fighting power is probably far less than the power that could be organized by villages fighting for water at a certain period in the past.
Under the light of gaslight, everyone had a heated discussion and gradually negotiated rules within the organization. Everyone spoke for their own benefit. After such rules were established, everyone must abide by them, otherwise they would have to abide by them. Being excluded from the organization.
Select a group of strong people to come here every night to participate in training, learn the formation, and learn to obey orders and fight. A captain is also elected among the rest of the group. If you don’t have time to come to the gathering every day, then you can give the opinions you need to convey to the captain and let him convey them to the organization.
Any organizational requirements are conveyed through them. These must be implemented within the set rules. Otherwise, the armed personnel trained within the organization will ask them to enforce them. Since it has been agreed before, , then you cannot go back on your word.
If you feel that the rules are unfavorable to you, you can appeal, but regardless of whether the appeal is successful or not, you must act according to the rules this time.
"Your rules are strict, but they are even more complicated than the laws of the empire. If we didn't really think that this law might be beneficial, we might not be able to abide by it." The man with burn scars on his face sighed: "It's a pity that we didn't have such strict rules at the time of the strike, otherwise the matter might have already happened. My family was relatively wealthy compared to the people here, and I wanted to help my fellow workers, so I participated.
Later, he was found out by the person they thought was the mastermind, and he was persecuted continuously for several years. Now he can hardly afford to rent the cheapest floor shop in the East District. "
Lan Nuo sighed and said: "Those who work for others cannot freeze to death in the snow. If we can do this, there won't be so many betrayals."
After everyone's plans were discussed, they each left the gathering place. Even when they went back, they lay down on the dirty and smelly floor. After closing their eyes, they couldn't help but have a good dream, as if a life full of hope had finally come to them. .
On Lan Nuo's side, everyone is busy with their own affairs, mobilizing the masses and organizing workers. This is indeed a big thing, but what can be done by mobilizing the masses now is nothing more than to mobilize those ruffians and those who are lying on the bottom to suck blood. Taking back the part of the profits that the guy occupies will have limited help in increasing the wealth of the entire society. It only changes the production relations to a certain extent and does not improve productivity.
In order to promote the development and progress of the times, productivity and production relations need to develop simultaneously, so Lannuo has invested more funds in these fields.
Now, Lanno, who once performed as a street performer, has changed his name to Mendeleev and rented a chemical factory of this era. If he wants to develop production, the easiest way is to improve technology.
Lan Nuo people have been dissatisfied with the chemical industry of this era for a long time. It is polluting, inefficient, and even labor-intensive, causing a large number of workers to suffer from serious occupational diseases. Although this is because there is no oil in the world, But since there is still coal in the world, it can barely be used as a substitute for petroleum in the chemical industry.
Moreover, in order to rectify the world's chemical industry, we must first start with the three-acid-two-alkali industry, which is the most basic in the chemical industry. Once these things are dealt with, such as detonators and pesticides, we can find ways to produce them.
Although the original time traveler Emperor Russell promoted the industrial revolution, even today, most military weapons still use black powder, which is already quite backward for today's chemical industry system. Lan Nuo After adjusting the equipment inside the chemical plant, improving the production process, and adding a few reactors at the back, we can produce some more powerful stuff.
For example, trinitro, or nitric acid oil, these things are actually very simple to make. If you don’t consider industrial mass production, people in the 21st century can tinker with some in their own kitchens, let alone Lan Nuo.
During this process, the lawyer hired by Lanno had become a little numb. Basically, he was asked to apply for patents every day. The patent office already knew him, and some even subconsciously thought of him as an employee of the patent office.
Some people even call Mendeleev the reincarnation of Emperor Russell, and some people suspect that he is an angel from the God of Steam and Machinery.
After the patent application was filed and the chemical plant was improved, the production costs of various important chemical raw materials and the possible pollution caused during the production process were greatly improved.
Lan Nuo remembered that the air pollution control committee had been organized in the history of this world. Now his factory may not see many advantages in reducing pollution. After four or five years, environmental protection will gradually be taken seriously. Compared with other factories, The advantages are huge.
Even now, the cost advantage has been reflected. Today, the income from the chemical industry is almost second only to the income from selling bicycles. The Lannos were finally no longer the weak organization that the entire organization could only raise three hundred pounds of funding.
However, no one in the world knows what the connection is between Mendeleev and Nikola Tesla. They only think that they are two emerging inventors recently.
Lannuo personally participated in the chemical industry to make his own preparations to push the era into the electric age. Even though there is no more oil in this world, when the ancient god revived, the oil turned into a strange thing like the blood of the ancient god, causing the oil on the earth to completely disappear overnight.
But the electric age is the general trend. Although it has become very difficult to synthesize rubber without oil, in fact, even in the 21st century, about 40% of the rubber products used on a large scale by humans are still Compared with natural rubber, there is still a certain gap between natural rubber and synthetic rubber in many aspects of performance.
There are still rubber plants on the earth today, and because of the promotion of Emperor Russell, they are widely planted in the southern continent. This means that even without oil, the age of electricity can theoretically come as usual, but when it comes to electricity What the power machine will be after this era is a question worthy of discussion.
What the Lannos are now facing are two technical routes. One is to learn from China in the 21st century and try to develop coal-to-oil technology suitable for this world. The other is to directly kick the internal combustion engine away and develop electric motors. .
In terms of technical difficulty, the most basic generators and electric motors are simpler than today's steam engines. The steam technology that humans came up with first, and the electric technology that came later, is entirely because the law of electromagnetic induction was discovered late. Emperor Russell Some people believe too much in the history of the earth, so they still build the steam engine step by step. In fact, there is no need at all.
But electric power technology also has its problems, that is, energy storage is very difficult. Even in the 21st century, the most efficient and cost-effective energy storage is lithium battery. Even so, this thing cannot be compared with processed gasoline and diesel. Compared to this, it is even more dangerous.
Lanno can try to make a series of improvements to lithium batteries based on the basic conditions of this world, perhaps making their efficiency catch up with internal combustion engines. As for although they have mastered graphene batteries with higher efficiency and better effects, this thing... is really something that is completely intangible to the industrial base of this era. Even if it is a lithium battery, Lanno can't You have to personally light up a very long branch on the technology tree to point out this technology.
"These technologies will be used as technical reserves in the future and cannot be used for profit until necessary." Tesla thought in his mind, while using a preview to convey his plan to the cluster.
"00456 is uniting workers and cultivating the more educated industrial workers we need in the future. We must let them reap the dividends of the next round of technological revolution before we can lead them in a world where the working class is so disadvantaged. Complete the revolution.
In addition, I saw a bounty in the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery. There is a fugitive alchemist who has accepted the protection of the Church of the God of War in the Fusac Empire in the north. If I can hunt him, I can get A reward of two hundred thousand pounds.
Even if we have accumulated some capital now, it is far from this amount. If we can get this reward, we will have enough liquidity to accelerate the development of our industry.
At the same time, we can also try to get the potion formula of the Perfector Path from him, which is the path of the God of Steam and Machinery. It can be said that the Hermit Path and the Perfector Path are the most suitable for us among all paths.
I have a rough plan, which is to choose one person to become the Knowledge Tutor of Sequence 2 and join the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, while the other person will try to become the Knowledge Emperor of Sequence 1 of the Hermit Path.
Make sure that there is no connection between the two people, and the one who becomes the Emperor of Knowledge must keep himself secret as much as possible. If necessary, he can join the Church of the Night Goddess to pray for the secret protection of the Night Goddess.
In this way, comrades of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery can try to pray to the gods and organize forces to attack the activated hermit path. The uniqueness, the secret sage, and the conflicts between adjacent paths can be said to be irreconcilable. If we show this His abilities can provide enough help to the God of Steam and Machinery, and he will definitely be willing to help. Then..."
