Chapter 411: Weaving field two

"Steel, guns and the industrial party across the world (

Seeing Servia's puzzled expression, Ladi continued: "Take farmers as an example. Thousands of years ago, they worked hard in the fields day after day, and they didn't have much free time in a year. Most of the hard-earned harvest has to be handed over to their lords. Thousands of years later, they are still working hard in the fields day after day, leaving little harvest for themselves. In our view In the past, their life was monotonous and tasteless, but for thousands of years, this is how they spent it.”

"And farmers, what proportion of our human civilization is it, do you know?"

Servia was stopped by Ladi. She didn't know what percentage of the human population was farmers, and she had never thought about it.

"you know?"

Ladi shook her head and said, "If it's based on all human beings, I don't know the specific data. However, a statistical committee headed by Earl Gardner was established in the Northwest Gulf, and they recently gave a report on this aspect in the Northwest Gulf Roughly estimated, farmers or the agricultural population accounted for more than 90% of the total population, and I think the rest of the world is similar."

"As for the rest of the so-called urban population, excluding the bottom-level residents who are in the same situation as farmers, the so-called extraordinary people or the elites among human beings account for one percent of the human population, I guess. None."

Speaking of this, Ladi laughed, "And these less than one percent of people have consumed most of the pen and ink in human history books."

After saying this, she looked at Sylvia with piercing eyes, "Then do you think that the 1% of human elites can represent the human world, or the 99% of ordinary people can represent the human world? And if you support the second point of view, as I said just now, the lives of ordinary people have basically remained unchanged for thousands of years, so how has the power of us extraordinary people ever really changed history and the world.”

Sylvia was speechless, "This...how do I know this?"

In fact, she subconsciously wants to answer that of course the one percent elite can represent the human world, but she feels that something is wrong. If there is no ninety-nine percent ordinary people, can human beings still be a race? Think about it again, if there are no peasants in the country and coolies in the city, who will provide the food and who will do the physical work?

Ladi continued: "For thousands of years, kingdoms have been established and destroyed one by one, leaving behind countless grand and tragic epics, evils have been wiped out by heroes one by one, and countless fascinating legends have been written, but this is different from ordinary kingdoms. What does it matter about people's lives? Whoever becomes a king or a hero will not be able to change their lives in the slightest."

Sylvia thought for a while, considering that the Blue Witch would not bring her here for no reason, so she guessed: "Then the great power you recognize is related to these machines in front of you?"

"Yes, my sister."

Ladi replied without hesitation.

"Not only these machines, but also a more abstract and deeper level of things they represent. It allows mortals to unleash great power and use it to subversively change their lives."

Sylvia shook her head, "I don't understand, isn't the machine here just to produce a few more pieces of cloth? How can it change the lives of ordinary people?"

"Haha, maybe for people of your class, clothing is just a casual thing, but not for those who are willing to wear decent clothes only during festivals. And, this is just one of them. an aspect of it.”

Saying that, Ladi raised her hand towards the workshop.

"Sister, what are the characteristics of the people who work here?"

Sylvia observed as she prompted.

"The workers here...more than half are female workers?"

She soon discovered the characteristics Ladi mentioned.

"Exactly!"

Ladi nodded in confirmation.

"Since history has been recorded, women's family status has not changed much. There are very few women like you and me who can choose their destiny within a relatively free range. The reason is nothing more than this era that mainly relies on physical labor. Because of physical limitations, individual women create far less wealth than men."

"In the past, although women were the main force in weaving, due to the inefficiency of traditional looms and the family-based production model, the rewards they earned for a whole day's hard work were still far less than what their husbands paid for farming or working. The remuneration they get. But now it is different, because of the appearance of this new type of loom, the value of wealth they can create is ten times that of before, and the remuneration they get is also greatly improved. The improvement of voice power and status makes men have to consider such a problem before shaking their fists at their wives—their wives can support themselves without relying on them.”

"This... this is actually the first time in history that I know of."

After thinking about it, Sylvia had to admit this.

"Exactly, if a new technology like this that doubles labor efficiency is popularized, then the breadth and depth of its impact on us humans will be much greater than any heroic adventure legend or casting a few spells~www.readwn. com~Ladi talked about the meaning of it, while looking at Paul's back, all this was brought by that man.

"My sister, Lord Graeman, once said to me that those events that had a truly profound impact on history were often seen by people at the time as insignificant things, but in my opinion, the appearance of these machines in front of me is a Little things like this, and there are plenty of 'little things' like that in the North West Bay, and more precisely in Arda."

At this time, a series of Paul's inventions such as telescope, microscope, papermaking, printing press, harvester, guns and artillery flashed through Ladi's mind.

"In the future, you will see one by one in Arda, and these are the powers that ordinary people can master. They don't need any noble blood, and they don't need any magical talent. As long as they form a certain scale, they can burst out. Energy that we had never imagined before.”

She approached Sylvia who was still in a state of astonishment because of her words, held her hand, and said earnestly: "I hope you and your companions can put away your arrogance as spellcasters, and we Witness the beginning of a new history together and take part in it, and then you will realize that we have no more influence on this world than mortals, or...we are one of them ourselves."

Sevia looked at Ladi's sincere eyes and nodded solemnly.

"Although my heart still resists what you said, I will give it a try."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and the conversation between Paul and the owner of the workshop was heard in their ears.

"How is the market for your cloth?"

"Very good, our price is too advantageous, and none of the small family workshops in other places can compete with us."
