Chapter 176: The Ghost Holding the Blood Saffron
Watching Perrin pinch the spine of the book with a calm expression, reciting one noun after another cold words and phrases from head to toe, everyone in the dormitory felt a panic - their first instinct was to quickly call the dormitory administrator, or even the Chinese, to arrest this madman sitting cross-legged on the bed.

But the ghosts oozing from the pages grinned, and strange hands as tough as mud reached out from under the floor, grabbing their legs, forcing them to look straight into their own hearts, into the bottomless abyss that unfolded in this square inch of space.
As long as they look directly into the abyss once, they will be dragged into it step by step by the unknown in the abyss. Now they have no chance to escape - it is a blood saffron that will be addicted to it once in taste, and it will make people enthusiastic and crazy about it.
"The modern bourgeois society, which emerged from the demise of feudal society, did not eliminate class antagonism, but only replaced the old with new classes, new conditions of oppression, and new means of struggle."
"The lower strata of the former middle class, the small industrialists, the petty merchants and rentiers, the craftsmen and the peasants—all these classes have descended into the ranks of the proletariat, partly because their small capital is not sufficient to run large industry, and cannot withstand the competition of the larger capitalists; Some are because their craft has been rendered worthless by new production methods. This is how the proletariat is replenished from all the classes of the inhabitants. ”
They may not understand or know what "class" is, what "conditions of oppression" are, what "means of struggle" refer to, but they do perceive that the artisans, the small landlords (i.e. themselves), are constantly giving way in this changing society.
Perrin was a craftsman himself - and a very special kind of craftsman of no low status in the old Elta Empire: the wheel maker. Inheriting his father's family business, he owned not only a farm before the war, but also a wheel-making workshop and apprentices and workers...... In other words, the land that gave him the opportunity to work in the textile mill today was only his insurance at that time.
That's right, the culprit who destroyed Perran's wheel factory was undoubtedly the war waged by the Elta Empire. The large number of wheel-making orders before the war of the empire took three points in cash and seven points on credit not only destroyed the Perrin wheel factory, but basically fished with all the money, and all the wheel making and carriage workshops in the surrounding areas of the Elta imperial capital were on the verge of bankruptcy.
This is a big gamble from the emperor to the grass people of the Elta Empire, the emperor is betting on the foundation of the country, and the craftsman like him is betting on his own family property and career. Everyone is eagerly anticipating victory, because if they lose, their bets will be taken away by unknown opponents, and even their panties will not be left for them.
The Elta Army suffered two major defeats in quick succession at both ends of the portal, and the lid could no longer cover the boiling pot. Creditors worry that the land will fall faster than the debt can be repaid, and they will be forced to borrow the debt; When the workers learned that the front was lost, that it would no longer be possible for the military and the state to repay their debts, and that it would no longer be possible for the workshops to pay their wages, the workers scattered as they could.
The originally beautiful buildings and pavilions have all disappeared, and "the land is really clean and white". This is not the biggest blow to Perrin - the process of making wooden strips into wheels and spokes is quite complicated, and it is a science to be able to "make round", not to mention that the wheels must be made solid and durable, resistant to corrosion and moisture, and not deformed...... These "ancestral" and "exclusive" techniques and secrets will undoubtedly make him richer again.
Provided that the Chinese did not bring those damned steel wheels.
By the time the situation became clearer, the carriages that ran around almost every corner of Cierta had been replaced with steel wheels and axles, and these were just the old ones - the new four-wheeled carriage had not only a steel body, axles, but also an ingenious steering gear linked to the reins and shock absorbers to lighten the load on the axles.
And with these, the only thing that can be matched is a steady stream of steel spoked wheels that roll out of the machine factories of another world. Perrin had seen the scene in the carriage franchise store in Mendong City—dozens, hundreds of wheels hanging silently on the shelves, each of them the same size, the same number of spokes, the same tires, and the exact same number of patterns on each tire......
After that, Perrin could only walk helplessly on the streets of Mendong City - he was unemployed. The new Mendong City Non-Motorized Vehicle Factory did not need wheelmakers like him, who preferred blacksmiths with experience in wrought iron and some literate labor—his set of skills that were almost useless in the manufacture of new horse-drawn carriages.
It didn't take long for the new horse-drawn carriage with a low price to impress the vast majority of users with its excellent performance. As for the government offices of the New Elta Empire, they had been using new carriages, bicycles and rickshaws from the very beginning, and had nothing to do with the old ones.
The lost Perrin returns to his hometown, ready to work with his back to the loess with steel farm tools he bought from Shield City. But two days after he returned home, a central government clerk knocked on his door......
In the confusion, Pei Lan went to the Duncheng Textile Factory, from a workshop owner to an ordinary spinning worker, and the clay legs who were looked down upon by the workers he hired before "competed on the same stage", and how strong his sense of loss was naturally can be imagined.
Therefore, the merits of "Egypt Communist Xuan" are only to answer the doubts of people like Pei Lan, and tell them what they are dissatisfied with - as for dissatisfaction, it is something that has long existed in Pei Lan's heart, and the "Egypt Communist Xuan" revised by Zhao Jiayin and others will not create much dissatisfaction, it is just a porter of dissatisfaction and antagonism.
But the very act of disseminating the pamphlet is an act of accumulating discontent. When dissatisfaction accumulates to a certain extent, regardless of whether the ideology is in opposition or the same camp, the ideological dissatisfaction will inevitably turn into resistance or even resistance in action.
"We can't speak publicly about our demands right now." After explaining his views to his roommates in the dormitory, Perrin sighed, "Among the Chinese, there are people who are on our side. They are truly good people, real 'revolutionaries'. But their power is still too weak, and so are we. Therefore, we must develop our comrades among the same crowds as we do, amplify our voices, and wait for the opportunity of the revolution...... Everyone, trust me. We, the proletarians, have lost only the chains in this revolution, but we will gain the whole world! ”
At the same time, Wang Liqun, who was in Mendong City, also floated out of his mouth.
The radio in front of him was now publicizing the deeds of Zhao Jiayin, an important member of the Legal Popularization Working Group -- others listening to the radio may not know the true purpose of Zhao Jiayin and her colleagues, but Wang Liqun is very clear about this.
What "goes deep into the grassroots" and "tirelessly" is just harboring evil intentions...... No, it is only an external manifestation of revolutionary fervor.
"What are you talking about?" Han Deshang, who was lying on the bed behind Wang Liqun, turned over and said lazily to Wang Liqun's back. "Nothing." Wang Liqun sighed, "I just feel that such a vigorous idealist makes us use it like this, and my conscience is a little uneasy." ”
"If you go in the wrong direction, you will do everything wrong." Han Deshang shook his hand at Wang Liqun, who turned his head, "That's a group of guys who call our country the 'Second Communist Party', let them fan the flames in the country and come to Elta for our use, which situation do you think will be better?" ”
"I can't imagine that at the moment when their ideals are shattered, they will doubt their own lives." Wang Liqun stood up and wiped the white mist from the window, "'Liberating mankind', 'creating a new world of equality', 'testing field in the Garden of Eden', these goals have become tools for others to create hatred and blood, I think even if they are not held accountable, they will be ashamed from now on, right?" ”
Han Deshang turned around and replied sullenly: "Isn't it the duty of your people's teachers to educate these little rabbit cubs whose blood has not yet cooled down to abandon their illusions and integrate into this society?" You see, when I was in high school, I had a dream of being a boxing champion, and my classmates wanted to drop out of school and go into rock 'n' roll, and these dreams were all corrected by the 'gardener' we once hated. Now we just regard these people as delusions to be corrected, and don't we take these things for granted? ”
"To each his own and to use each other." Wang Liqun smiled wryly, "Yes, those high-achieving students are all ideal and naïve. Only they, and their 'students', will believe it. Like us, the 'adults' they despise, who doesn't know that thing is a flood beast, which only exists in the illusion and cannot become a reality, but it can still bite people to the point of blood? ”
Fishing in troubled waters, the real purpose of the avengers and Zhao Jiayin and other idealists hitting it off is not to enhance their own influence, let alone to "build a communist experimental field". Their purpose is to take advantage of the Elta people, use their own grievances and antagonism to create bloodshed and chaos, wear down China's patience and bottom line, and finally force the Elta people themselves to the end of being colonized and even bloodbathed.
As for what doctrine, what line, that is just a means, a means to muddy the waters. The fact that the Avengers secretly cooperated with the royalists (providing guns) on the one hand, and maintained good relations with Zhao Jiayin and others on the other hand, already shows the nature of their methods. The end and the end have long been predetermined - if no one can stop it.
