Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The guests who came to visit were not disciples of the Heavenly Instrument Sect, nor were they cultivators, but two mortals.

Li Zisheng confessed to Hu Yunduo and entered the front hall to meet the guests.

"Meet the third son. Seeing him walk in, two plainly dressed young men stood up and bowed to Li Sangongzi.

This third prince doesn't like this kind of red tape the most in his life, but now he still can't change everyone's concept, so he has to hurriedly step forward and help the two up: "Comrade Lao San, Comrade Xiaoqi, didn't I tell you, it doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this." We should be commensurate with each other. ”

He pulled the two up, shook hands with them, and let the third and seventh sit back in their original positions.

These three and seven are not brothers, nor are they related, and they are not even surnamed in the same surname. It's just that the poor don't have the heart to name their children, so they can only use the ranking. In fact, this is also a common phenomenon in Central Continent, such as another subordinate of Li Zisheng, who stayed in Iron Mountain City, "Pole" is just his nickname.

The third surname is Li, and the seventh surname is Liu.

Li Laosan is not tall, with an open forehead, sparse eyebrows, and a big mouth, with thick lips, he looks extremely honest and simple. This Liu Xiaoqi is dignified, especially this nose is good-looking, the mountain root is the bridge of the nose is high, the nose tip is pointy, if you hang the gall, the photo book says that a man has such a look, he must be rich and noble.

These two people look like they are in their early twenties, not only are they shabby, their hands are calloused, their skin is dull, and the proportions of their bodies are a little incongruous, which are all indelible marks left on their bodies by their childhood work. The expressions on the faces of the two were also a little restrained, even if they had seen Li Zisheng several times, they still seemed a little unable to let go.

It's no wonder that they are a little cautious, Li is not ordinary for the two of them, but the big man in the Immortal Sect, the deputy deacon of Xin Jintang is nothing inside the Heavenly Instrument Gate, but in the eyes of mortals under the rule of the sect. That's the heavenly man.

Li Laosan and Liu Xiaoqi are both locals in Yuan'an, and these two of them have been working as iron workers under the Tianqi Gate here since a very early age, and they can be regarded as natives, so they are very familiar with this place. Li Zisheng also investigated for a period of time before absorbing the two into the Iron Youth League, wanting to rely on these two people to carry out the work of workers here.

Li Sangongzi shook his head in his heart, he chose these two to preside over the work of the workers in Yuan'an City. I also spent a little time educating the two. This also values Li Laosan and Liu Xiaoqi's familiarity with Yuan'an City, their youthful vigor and momentum, and they also have some prestige among the workers, so they can be regarded as natural leaders.

But the gap between the immortals in the middle continent is too big, and even now these two people are still a bit submissive.

In fact, Li Zisheng has never been a proletariat, and he did not really have much contact with the people at the bottom before that. That's why he wasn't quite accustomed to the attitude of these two reserve members.

Moreover, his current revolutionary road is not so smooth, mainly because he lacks a mass base, and the people here are too lacking in the spirit of resistance.

For example, Li Laosan and Liu Xiaoqi are now the chairman and vice chairman of the Yuan'an trade union, but according to their report, the establishment of the trade union in Yuan'an is not very smooth.

The reason why Ma Jiao Lao Zu pinned the hope of the world of Datong on the proletariat, believing that they were the vanguard of the revolution, was because the proletariat in the West at that time was mainly industrial workers. The so-called industrial workers are workers who are engaged in collective production labor and rely on wage income as their source of livelihood.

The key lies in the word "collective". What a collective wants is discipline, and industrial production will make workers consciously disciplined. For example, peasants and workers have very different conceptions of time. It is not necessary for a peasant to know the exact time, and there is no difference between getting up at 8 o'clock and 8:05 a.m., but a worker who wakes up five minutes late may be late and have his wages deducted.

More critically, industrial workers must work with their peers to get the job done, whereas before the mechanization of agriculture, farmers spent most of their time working alone. Even in pre-modern forms of warfare, cooperation was very important. That's why Qi Shaobao recruited Yiwu miners to defend against the Japanese pirates and samurai. And the army of these miners won almost one-sided on the battlefield.

The fact that industrial workers with a little training can become competent and good soldiers proved in the Paris Commune, the October Revolution and the Spanish Civil War, and that the demands of resistance against oppression have given them high morale and the ability to withstand the hostile conditions of the battlefield, which is no worse than that of a professional soldier. Actually, those dark pits at that time. The noisy and filthy factories and the work environment that can cause work-related injuries or even deaths if you are not careful, are not much better than the battlefield.

But the reason why these industrial workers formed trade unions, organized strikes and marches, and even started armed revolutions. It is they who know that their struggle is still effective, and even if they can't overthrow the rulers, they can intimidate them and make them sit down and negotiate.

Unfortunately, the workers here in Middle-earth did not think that their struggle would have the slightest effect, and they knew in their hearts that even if they were grouped together, they would not be a deterrent to the ruling class of cultivators. Don't be a Qi Refining Immortal or a Refining Immortal, a few combat forces like Li Zisheng can slaughter the hundreds of thousands of residents in Yuan'an City.

As intelligent beings, human beings will sacrifice their lives in extreme circumstances, but the premise is that individuals who are willing to sacrifice their lives know that their sacrifice is meaningful, or at least that they think it is meaningful.

Human beings can "deceive" themselves.

However, the strength between mortals and cultivators is too great, and this kind of strength gap can't be deceived even if you want to deceive yourself.

In this regard, the Taiping Dao has done a good job, using the heavenly kingdom of God to tempt the people, so that they have an infinite yearning for the other side, which is the charm of religion.

Of course, Li Sangongzi also knew that the persuasiveness of religion was just now, but it was a pity that he was the red guard of the Liberator Legion, and he didn't want to touch that kind of thing at all.

So he also felt a little headache after listening to the reports of the two. Trade unions have been established, and workers are willing to participate in some leisure activities, such as workers' clubs and workers' night schools, which are still welcomed by everyone.

However, the next step is difficult to unfold.

Li Laosan's eyes flashed and said: "General Secretary, well, that comrade, we also want to organize the workers to hold a general strike that you said, so that Tianqimen can raise wages and shorten working hours, but no one wants to do it at all." Everybody said, everybody said......"

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. Li Zisheng waved his hand.

"Everyone said that the immortal masters were already grateful for the food, and they really didn't dare to ask for more. ”

Li Sangongzi said with some dissatisfaction: "Then you didn't sue them, can't you produce these products without the labor of the big guys?"

This time, Liu Xiaoqi said: "Is this, some people say that the immortal masters can move mountains and seas, how can this little thing not be done? and...... In case of angering the immortal masters in the Heavenly Weapon Gate, having no food is secondary, and maybe this little life will not be guaranteed. ”

Li Zisheng stood up and paced in the hall with his hands behind his back. He was a little unhappy at first, but after taking a few steps, he was immediately relieved.

Hey, it seems that I'm still in a hurry, or there is a disconnect between theory and reality.

The reactionary forces here in Middle-earth are so powerful that even these two companions who are more rebellious have no confidence in the face of cultivators like themselves.

They are not to blame for this, and they are not to blame the workers. It's like I don't want to be with the Tie family? How can I be harsh on those mortal friends.

Li Sangongzi also heard it, Li Laosan and Liu Xiaoqi didn't disagree with what he said, but they still lacked the courage to fight against the cultivators of the Heavenly Weapon Gate.

This matter still has to be considered in the long run.

General Secretary Li thought about it for a certain time, turned over and made a gesture towards each of them.

"This, this, how to make, please get up. Li Laosan and Liu Xiaoqi hurriedly stood up and turned sideways, saying that they did not dare to accept such courtesy.

After Li Zisheng bowed to them, he said with a smile: "This is my reparation for your two comrades." I didn't think it through until then, and I embarrassed you!"

"No, no, no, that's what we're supposed to do. Li Laosan said with trembling lips.

"Yes, every word of the general secretary's truth has been said to my heart. It's a pity that I can't convince everyone clumsily, it's all my fault and Lao Li. Liu Xiaosan also said.

General Secretary Li smiled heartily and said, "Hahaha, don't be so polite between our comrades. ”

He changed his words and said, "Okay, since the strike is a little difficult, then you can talk about other work arrangements." ”

"Yes, Comrade General Secretary. ”

The three of them talked for more than two hours, and they had dinner together in the middle, which ended the work meeting.

When Li Zisheng sent the two to the door, it was already a willow on the moon.

"Senior brother, what do you have to talk about with those mortals, you won't even compensate me for dinner, well, let's eat. At this time, Yan Bao'er had returned to this opening, and she was a little complaining.

Li Sangongzi frowned slightly, but still said with a pleasant face: "Senior Sister Bao'er, in fact, aren't we also mortals? At least we used to be, so how could there be nothing to talk about." ”

Yan Bao'er replied naturally, "I'm not a mortal, and neither are you now." ”

Tie Qianzhu's voice came from outside the door: "Hmph, it's rare for this fox to be right once, there is a difference between immortals and mortals, junior brother, you have to keep in mind." ”

For the first time, this pair of incompatible girls stood on the same side.

ps: Don't worry, after Murong explained some things in a few chapters this time, he will immediately move on to the next plot.
