Chapter XIII: The Slave Society
Because it is a restaurant, there is a bustling street outside, so when Zheng Shuanglong was thinking, he gently knocked on the table subconsciously, which did not attract the attention of other guests in the restaurant. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Even the words that Zheng Shuanglong said that were strange to others did not attract anyone.
After all, the sound of the noisy streets and the loud noise of the drinkers could already cover up Zheng Shuanglong's small voice. Without the magic power of the warrior level, it was really difficult to distinguish Zheng Shuanglong's small voice from the disturbing sounds.
"It's amazing that a small gang of a few dozen people can handle more than 1,800 slaves in a year. So how many slaves are there in the entire Jinghua City from here in a year, 100,000, 200,000, 300,000, or million. The population of Jinghua City is only 600,000. ”
Thinking of the trading records found last night, even Zheng Shuanglong couldn't help but be shocked. There are so many thoughts of a year's transaction in Jinghua City, so what about the whole world, what a sinful thing this is, what a sad thing it is.
"Well, although even in feudal society, there is a habit of animal slaves, but such a large-scale slave trade should not be in feudal society. Well, that's not true, after all, it seems that in the seventeenth century, the slave trade was still thriving, and shipwloads of black slaves were sent to the continent of Perfect Continent, but that was a special case, and besides, a large part of the production field of the American continent was not slaves, and the land was not state-owned, it could be bought and sold. Well, this is really a slave society now. ”
"There is no freedom, no remuneration, forced labor, being bought and sold as a commodity, no dignity, life is worse than death, tsk, what a sad world, no future, no hope, only darkness, dead silence. People are not human beings, human beings are not as good as animals, and they are really miserable enough. ”
Slaves were considered the property of the slave owner and could be bought and sold, and the slave owner could force the slave to work, and the labor activity must be dominated by the slave, without remuneration, and without personal freedom. In a human society, if most of the laborers in the field of material production are slaves, such a society is called a slave society. A sinful and sad society.
"Well, it should be the late stage of the slave society, after all, the king of Geer has begun to reform, although the effect is basically nothing, but after all, this has been noticed, isn't it."
Look at the proclamation that was posted on the wall at the gate of the city, the proclamation that belonged to the king and recorded the decree of the king, the proclamation that was completely ignored. Looking at the numb civilians, the miserable slaves, the soldiers who have become equally numb, and everyone who is desperate for this world, the dull gaze. Zheng Shuanglong seemed to have been touched, touched by this sad world, touched by this sinful world, and whispered softly, whispering the outline of the law change. Belong to the forward plan of this kingdom of Geer.
"The law was changed, the slaves were freed from the chains, the landlord class replaced the slave-owning class, the land was changed from state ownership to private ownership, and from the prohibition of land sales to the permission of land sales."
"Emancipate the slaves, give them a certain freedom, let them have a certain amount of private property, a little dignity. Then the free slaves were freed by the use of the land, and the main productive force was changed from the slave-dominated to the tenant-based main productive force, and the exploitation continued, but it was much better than the exploitation of slavery. ”
"At least, it will look better when you eat, the brutal exploitation and cruel oppression of slavery cannot be seen by a person with a conscience. The exploitation of feudal society was more elegant, at least much more elegant than slavery. It is also exploitation, and the exploitation of landlords in feudal society can make those exploited tenants grateful and willingly exploited, saying that the landlords who exploit themselves are great good people, and this is a remarkable progress in social morality. ”
The mocking tone, the sarcastic words, I don't know if it's a mockery of oneself or a mockery of this sad world. A mockery of these indisputable civilians.
"In any case, feudalism is much better than slavery, at least the people live a little more comfortably, all their lives in the fields to eat, although in the end they can't save anything, although most of the wealth created is exploited by the landlords, and at the end of the year they can't even eat a little meat, although they are also tied to the land, but they have false dignity, false freedom, faint hope, private property that they don't know what they can't see, they have the right to choose to marry and have children, and they have ...... This is much better than when people were not as good as animals, at least, and the feeling in my heart was much better. What a great right to be free. Tsk, exploitation is becoming more and more secretive, this is the transformation of society. ”
Feudal society refers to the social state in which the feudal system is practiced. It refers to the social form in which the landlord or lord occupies the land and exploits the peasants or serfs, the society in which the landlord class becomes the ruling class is a feudal society, and the contradiction between the landlord class and the peasant class is the main contradiction in feudal society. The natural economy formed by feudal society is an economic structure organization based on land, combining agriculture with handicrafts, taking the family as the unit of production, and having self-enclosed and independent nature to meet its own needs.
In Zheng Shuanglong's view, although the feudal society is not much better, it is much better than the slave society, at least, it looks a lot better. It's no longer so barbaric, so unreasonable.
However, Zheng Shuanglong also understood that it was very difficult to realize the transformation from a slave society to a feudal society. At least for yourself who is only at the level of a knight, it is difficult. Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, the fist is not hard enough, everything is a joke, like King Gehr, it becomes a joke in the circle of nobility.
Feeling the several places in Jinghua City where the magic reaction gathered, the mansions and palaces of the great families, and the great church of the Flame Church, Zheng Shuanglong said coldly: "What did you say in the previous political class, although new things represent the direction of progress, but the birth of new things is weak in the early stage. It is rejected, counterattacked, and suppressed by the old things. ”
"And, in this world with strange powers, this old power, this old power with advantages, the power of slave owners is too strong because of magic, so much so that the landlord class is not an opponent at all, and so much so that it directly crushes those progressives, so that in the current era of the massive use of iron tools, it is still slavery. Iron tools are the hallmark of feudal society. ”
Savor the magic in the air, so thick that mortals can comprehend it with extreme training. As long as he goes through a small guidance, he can use the magic power, Zheng Shuanglong's face is really good, and he can't see anywhere.
"Trial students with 10 warriors and magic apprentices, warriors and magic apprentices with 100 enemies, knights and magicians with 1,000 enemies. And then there are more powerful beings, because because of their existence, society will develop so slowly. ”
How ridiculous it is that the excessively high mystery, abundant energy, and stable world have become an obstacle to the development of society. So much so that even Zheng Shuanglong, who has experienced a lot of things, is a little emotional.
"After all, the secret of magic and the mystery of cultivation are always in the hands of the family, and with the existence of these superhumans, resist, laugh."
The magic power of the knight's initial level flowed, feeling the power in his body, Zheng Shuanglong said with a complicated expression: "Not counting the final desperate kill, no tricks, no combat experience, just relying on the magic power to increase the body, I am a knight of the first rank, although I am one enemy and a thousand, but if I want to escape, even if I have an army of 100,000, I can't surround myself." If you want to assassinate yourself, you can't stop even if there are more than 10,000 troops around you. This terrifying power is probably the reason why slave owners are still able to rule this sad world. After all, most of the beings who possess magical powers, and those who have performed magical rituals, are slave owners. ”
Zheng Shuanglong, who finally found that his thoughts seemed to have turned his head, picked up the small wine glass on the table, shook it gently, and admired the ripples in the wine glass, Zheng Shuanglong said self-deprecatingly: "Hmm, what do I think of these, have you studied the rise of great powers in the past, is the world slavery or feudalism, does it have anything to do with me, for me, the most important thing is not to repair my spiritual imprint and return to the realm of true gods as soon as possible." Take back the soul mark that penetrated into the depths of Otono Yuzuru's soul as soon as possible, fly to the main world as soon as possible, and join Xiaoya and the others as soon as possible. ”
If you haven't figured out your own affairs, how can you have the energy to take care of other people's affairs. For Zheng Shuanglong, this world is meaningless whether it is sad or happy. Nor should it touch one's own heart. Even if it is because of the reason for the rebirth, the relationship with the heart is stirring, there should not be so many emotions.
Zheng Shuanglong has experienced too much and seen too much. The heart, which was not very warm in the first place, has long been cold.
Fate, acquaintance and intersection, only then do they produce bonds. With bonds, you will become friends, companions, confidants, and soulmates. Only they are worthy of Zheng Shuanglong to pay, to wait, to sacrifice.
Strangers, familiar strangers, strangers without feelings, even if they die more, does it have anything to do with Zheng Shuanglong.
Don't say that Zheng Shuanglong is cold-blooded, it is true, the world is very big and chaotic, the earth is spinning, countless kinds of sorrows and joys, always thinking too much, it is better not to think about anything.
Zheng Shuanglong is not a savior, and he doesn't want to be a savior. There are not enough interests for Zheng Shuanglong to do this kind of thing to save the common people and guide the world. Tired or not.
