Chapter 0147 Sociological Macros
Civilians who are not engaged in farming and are of a technical nature are called craftsmen.
Commoners among craftsmen, who rely on their own skills and run their own shops, can be called craftsmen. Therefore, the craftsmen were mostly free people, and the craftsmen were mostly serfs.
In Liszt's understanding, if this group of people developed over a period of time and engaged in the business alone, they would become bourgeois. However, through his understanding of the society of the other world, it is impossible for the craftsman to evolve into a capitalist for the time being, and the aristocracy will not allow it.
If you refer to the medieval Europe of the Earth.
With the progress of the industrial revolution, the craftsmen who master the means of production either accumulate the means of production and evolve into capitalists, or they lose the means of production and become workers.
Here, craftsmen have existed for a long, long time, and are still craftsmen.
There are no capitalists, and there are no large numbers of workers, no matter how they develop, they are all vassals of the nobility - vindictive cultivation, the absolute gap in individual strength, so that the noble knights can firmly grasp all the power, without fear of being revolutionized by the new class.
Of course, the development of the craftsman class is more or less different between different countries and cities.
There is no fixed hierarchy.
Liszt himself summed it up briefly.
Craftsmen can be roughly divided into four levels: "home", "teacher", "craftsman" and "worker".
Division - Technician, Master.
Craftsmen of this class, who generally live in large cities, are freemen of high status and status, and have reached the level of minor nobles.
For example, architects, shipbuilders, car builders, goldsmiths, jewellers, foundries, drillers, etc., are all top craftsmen in various industries.
Architects are responsible for the construction of castles, large buildings, mage towers, etc., shipbuilders are responsible for the design and construction of ships, car builders are responsible for the production of carriages, minecarts, and chariots, goldsmiths make gold, silver, copper, and even dragon coins, and master jewelers design precious jewelry, carving crystal, jade, and even precious stones.
Foundries can make all kinds of sophisticated equipment, and drillers can dig mines.
On Coral Island, there are only architects, shipbuilders, car builders, and foundries, and there are no goldsmiths, jewellers, and drillers.
Craftsman – Craftsman.
Craftsmen of this level are the backbone of craftsmen, and they are also the most basic class in major cities, filled with all walks of life, and are the cornerstone of the prosperity of cities and territories.
Stonemasons, carpenters, blacksmiths, leathersmiths, and tailors are the five most basic occupations of craftsmen, and they are also the five industries with the largest number of people.
Stonemasons build buildings, carpenters produce furniture, blacksmiths make tools, tanning leather goods, and tailors make clothes.
In addition, bonesmiths, papermakers (thick paper), locksmiths, shoemakers, coopers, crystal craftsmen, jewelers, gem craftsmen, jade craftsmen, soapmakers, winemakers, bakers, barbers, cooks, sugar makers, spicers, and salt makers are also craftsmen.
Worker, worker.
Craftsmen of this level, who are also the backbone of craftsmen, exist on a large scale in the lord's manor. Most of them were serfs, almost indistinguishable from the peasants who farmed, except for slightly more skilled work.
Embroiderers, spinners, dyers, salters, sugar workers, millers, miners, sailors, shipwrights, handymen, etc., are all workers.
In addition, merchants such as innkeepers, petty traders, grocers, and horse dealers, who did not possess the craft, were responsible for the circulation of the craft, and were generally equivalent to craftsmen, that is, ordinary freemen.
At last.
Home, everyone.
This level is basically not considered a craftsman, it should be called an artist.
Novel authors, bards, pianists, painters, court musicians, sculptors, singers, etc., most of them are nobles and have no titles to inherit, so they develop their own artistic cells, wander among the nobility, and enjoy a high quality of life.
If you have to continue to define, a magician who can make magical equipment and an "iron knight" who can craft various weapons can also be regarded as craftsmen.
But they are either outside the system or they are aristocrats.
"There are no technicians, there are very few craftsmen, most of them are workers, and I feel that the money spent is a bit of a loss. ”
Looking at the list of thick paper in his hand, Liszt thought with regret that what he wanted was actually a craftsman, but among the serfs he bought, they were basically workers.
Obviously, these craftsmen were all left over from others, or rather, Levi's subordinates were only willing to buy cheap craftsmen - in the serf trade, the price of a craftsman was obviously a little more expensive than a worker, let alone a technician. No one will sell a technician or a craftsman for a price for a worker or a farmer.
"In any case, there is a group of skilled workers who can barely add a few industries to Flower Town...... I can make my own sugar, soap, weaving, and even seawater salt, soil paper, or other industries. "Liszt's comfort to himself cannot be regarded as a consolation, skilled workers, still very valuable.
Ask Thomas to bring a quill, ink, and blank thick paper, and he begins to write and draw.
He was going to put it all together to see how many industries this group of craftsmen could develop and how many workshops would add to the town's workshop area. But as he wrote, he developed from the handicraft industry to the social system.
"I can be a sociologist if I want!"
He divided the social system of another world into categories.
The upper echelons of society - noble lords.
Upper middle class - magicians who seek truth, officials without titles, knights, and indispensable artists.
Mid-to-mid - a technician who has mastered irreplaceable skills, and a mercenary who acts as a down-and-out knight.
Lower middle class - the servants in the castle, the craftsmen who produce technology, the merchants who circulate goods, the workers who act as coolies, the rats who walk in the shadows.
At the bottom of society - the serfs who farmed, and the beggars who were not even serfs.
"It's clear and self-explanatory. He took a large bite of the monster meat, chewed and swallowed, "If I can further elaborate on the responsibilities of each social class in society, as well as the mobility of the classes, I will probably be able to create a huge work of sociology and publish a book." ”
This is just an idea, he has not yet fallen to the point where he needs to earn a living by writing books, which is the only thing that the children of the down-and-out aristocracy can do.
Besides, sociological works can't be sold.
To write a book, you have to write a knightly novel.
To slay the dragon, to contract the elf king.
The best start is a down-and-out prince, with a little elf, wandering on the sea and romantic with the song demon for a night, after a few days of romance with the marquis manor and the noblewoman, slaughtering an evil dragon alone, or riding a dragon, the elf breaks through to the elf king.
In the end, the hero saves the beauty and marries a beautiful princess who is recognized by the unicorn.
With these elements, it's basically a best-selling chivalric novel, and those young people who love fantasy are more than willing to pay for it.
Finish breakfast.
Liszt put away the thick paper he was writing on and looked at the sun that was already rising outside the window: "When Granny arrives, maybe I can discuss sociology with him." ”
