To Four Thousand Years Later
Vol 4 Chapter 133: Thought Level Intrusion
"It's really
Leonardo sighed in a complicated mood.
Is it really necessary for him to support some people by himself and make them oppose him? If it’s just for completing the main quest, then there’s nothing wrong with it. Demon gods have already established their respective organizations around the world, and it’s not impossible to do this kind of thing. Mostly it's a hint of some kind.
Since the main quest said that he would have so many opponents, and there has not been any side quest based on this main quest until now, it means that the system Yiri believes that he has the possibility to successfully complete the quest. And there is no force majeure on the way that might cause him to fail before he tries.
In other words. Even if Leonardo has become a big man that even the king dare not easily appeal to in these eleven years, there will still be at least seven people who will stand up in the crowd and oppose him openly and even effectively. And like those public scholars who attacked Leonardo in order to gain fame, their level of slander is not even regarded as opponents by the system. Because they are not against Leonardo. Their purpose is only to increase their reputation, improve their voice and seek other benefits. Except for Francesco—in the past eleven years, Leonardo really killed only two opponents.
The first was when Leonardo had just returned from Sicily.
At that time, because of the prevalence of Leonardo jacquard machines, the business of a large number of jacquard weaving workshops was destroyed. Not only Leonardo and the others have a better and more stable source of jacquard fabrics, but their output is far better than the former by dozens of times. This jacquard fabric is better and stronger than handmade jacquard fabrics, and the jacquard pattern is also clear. Under the market squeeze of a large number of jacquard fabrics, for example, new patterns were designed by famous jacquard masters. And sent big star money to the newspaper, let them praise "this is a brand new, extremely beautiful and popular jacquard pattern" in an attempt to force it up.
But at this time, an accident that violated their cognition happened. In less than a week, mechanically produced jacquard fabrics with the same pattern but stronger and finer appeared on the market. Moreover, the price of the latter is lower and the volume is still large. And gradually start progressive optimization on this pattern.
Even if there is a flower book, if we want skilled jacquard weavers to learn a new jacquard weaving method, they must be familiar with it. And as long as it is a human being, it is bound to make mistakes. Any time the wrong thread is lifted, it will cause defects in the jacquard fabric. But humans make mistakes, machines don't.
Counting the circulation time of the goods, the Leonardo jacquard machine probably produced a jacquard fabric with the same pattern but better quality on the first day when the new jacquard fabric appeared. However, the new jacquard cloth they improved cannot be imitated by these female workers.
9 Within a short period of months, these century-old workshops closed down one by one. A large number of women workers lost their jobs, and the level of disorder in the slums increased progressively. The crime rate also increased. Immediately afterwards, Leonardo's inventions in the steel industry and the steam engine industry brought civilization and wealth, but also caused a large number of skilled workers who relied on traditional production methods to lose their jobs.
So machines replaced real people, increasing production but creating chaos.
The first person against Leonardo was born from this side.
His name is Miller—this person organized a large number of mobs who lost their jobs, rushed into the factory, drove and beat the technicians, and smashed the machinery and equipment, hoping to let the Grand Duke understand their demands in this way. Get Leonardo to stop selling his "evil machines" and return their lives to how they were before those machines were born. Lorenzo quickly dispatched troops to suppress the riot. He mercilessly arrested all the leaders and executed them for their crimes. A large number of accomplices were thrown into prison and became hard labor and unpaid labor. This riot is like the wind, it comes and goes quickly. Within a month, it completely disappeared. Instead, it is Leonardo's new welfare system that provides the unemployed with a minimum guarantee that they will not starve to death and freeze to death, and establishes a certain share of medical funds for everyone, and nationalizes the medical industry. And opened a large number of "re-employment schools" to find new jobs for these workers. After the implementation of this welfare system. Leonardo's main mission really became a 2/10. And the second person who opposed Leonardo was called Gorman.
He was a university professor who began to promote radical environmental ideas such as "let noise and pollution get out of our lives" when Leonardo was preparing to officially implement the subway plan.
He organized a group of people who opposed the entry of the railroad into the city.
They call themselves the "Environmental Party"
The "Environmental Protection Party" advocates that the tracks should be built in the outskirts of no one, and the people who take the track trains-in fact, they themselves can't afford or use the trains. And their other propositions include letting factories stop polluting, banning logging, fishing and hunting, and so on. Many doctors, scholars, and lawyers publicly supported the resolution of this group of people, and many lectures were held to try to attract the attention of nobles and ministers.
Among them, the most violent resistance was caused when they "suggested to isolate the factory from the residential area in order to protect the physical and mental health of urban residents". Because it would make it very inconvenient for them to go to work. But they are soft-spoken. The right to speak as a worker is completely different from the right to speak of these intellectuals, and the public will be more inclined to believe the latter. Not to mention that this is a decision that is directly related to their own internal interests.
So under the leadership of Gorman, the residents began to sign a letter. It is recommended that the government order factories to stop polluting and ban deforestation. Moving the railways and factories outside the city, the underground railway is naturally a "meaningless project that seriously destroys the quality of life and costs a lot of money" without even thinking about it. In the face of his fierce attack, Leonardo chose a very witty method—he used the magic in the "wilderness" field learned by Asmodeus to communicate with the poisonous snake. When Gorman once did a publicity show in the field. He was bitten to death by a poisonous snake in the dense forest. Professor Gorman died suddenly, and the Environmental Party suddenly began to fall apart. Leonardo, who was already the Prime Minister at that time, immediately introduced new legislation to regulate the discharge of smoke and waste water, and imposed fines on factories and enterprises that exceeded the discharge standards, and took advantage of the trend to take back powers such as the body, forests, and fishing ports. State-owned, prohibited private deforestation. Setting fires in forests and poisoning rivers were punishable by death. within half a year. Pollution is significantly reduced. The construction of the subway line I has finally begun.
During the construction ceremony, Leonardo's main task became 3/10. According to this calculation, maybe there are really seven enemies waiting for him? Leonardo thought for a moment, and decided to go to Baimon first.
