game life from scratch

Doctor Roman showed embarrassment. The information he gave to Matthew did not contain such knowledge.

On the surface, the fourth singularity is very peaceful, the first singularity and the second singularity have wars, the third singularity has vicious pirates, every singularity has bloodshed and sacrifice, only the fourth singularity Some special, its bleeding, is recessive.

Rama said, "The Industrial Revolution...is bound to be accompanied by countless failures and sacrifices. For the nobles at the top, this is a fascinating era, but for the poor, it is a history of blood and tears. Matthew, the difference between the rich and the poor is often The former account for the majority, and the wealthy and noble families are a minority after all, and most people worry about tomorrow’s dinner. It is the high-level people who are remembered by the world who make decisions, and the wheels of history are the low-level people who are forgotten.”

"I... I don't know this..."

Matthew knelt down in despair. What Rama collected at that time was the souls of the dead children.

Li Xiang took a few steps back, she covered her mouth and said nothing, and it took a long time for her trembling voice to penetrate her palms.

"Isn't there... is there a workhouse..."

"Well, there are." Oliver narrated lightly, "The workhouse is the last haven of the poor, but the sages of the council don't think so, they think the workhouse is the paradise of the poor, so they exploited the food in the workhouse The time I lived in was three bowls of porridge every day, two heads of onions a week, and half a bread roll on Sundays. The chefs in charge were very worry-free, because our rice bowls were the same as theirs As big as a spoon."

Oliver took a look at the palm of his hand. It was by no means a big spoon for a big pot of rice. The so-called soup spoon was only as big as a child's palm.

"No matter how strong a man is, the workhouse can make his clothes rattle in the wind for two weeks. Once we were starved to death, the King of the Children told us viciously that he wanted to spend the night The child sleeping next to him will eat it, and I will try it the next day to see if I can ask for more.‖."

Having said that, Oliver laughed self-deprecatingly.

"The council people heard it and locked me up... They said I deserved to be hanged."

It was just a bowl of rice, and Mordred felt deeply sympathetic. The orphans in the nineteenth century all lived in such a miserable environment.

"It won't be long before I will be kicked out of the workhouse and I can only do child labor. But I am not alone. Child labor can be seen everywhere in our time."

The whole city of London is powered by child labor.

With the development of science and technology, many devices have been simplified to the point that even women and children can control them. The children of the lower classes only need to do what they can do, but now they have more possibilities.

Factories are hell for kids.

"The machine is tolerant, and it doesn't have strict requirements on the user's experience and physical strength. Miss Matthew, have you ever woven clothes? In a textile factory, strength is secondary, and the important thing is that the fingers should be flexible. You will Seeing such a scene, in the textile factory, all children are working. More than 600 children work together. It sounds huge, but our expenses are very small, and the salary given by the factory manager is one-third of that of adults. One, it is also very easy to manage. The value that three child laborers can squeeze out is even much more than a grown man..."

Oliver remembered that his daily wages were 1pence, while a loaf of bread, or the daily rent of the cheapest hut, was 15pence.

It's hard for them to even survive.

"We either starved to death in the workhouse, or died of exhaustion outside the workhouse. Slowly, they found that our lives were worthless. The civil lawyers in London charged too much. They came up with a brilliant idea."

Oliver seemed to be genuinely amused, or maybe it was a kind of bitterness that those high-ranking officials would never understand.

"Give us our first wages and let us work - and then wear out the child laborers before the second wages are paid, and never pay the second wages."

"How could something so excessive...?!"

Lixiang's shock has gradually turned into anger. She can't imagine that there is such a dehumanizing inside story behind London during the Industrial Revolution.

"'. Why don't you resist?"

It was Mordred who questioned her, her voice was unexpectedly quiet, but considering Mordred's character, such calmness was quite abnormal.

Oliver also gave a helpless answer, "The youngest of us is only four years old, and we have to work in a factory at 15 degrees Celsius for 70 hours a day. The factory manager thought it took us half an hour to eat and take a lunch break. Chewing while working..."

In fact, there is no way to resist.

All the child laborers are a good example of not wanting the horse to eat grass but also wanting the horse to run. Each of them is so hungry that his chest is pressed against his back, and his work exhausts all his strength, and he cannot resist Qian Zhao at all.

Moreover, they don't care about the lives of child laborers.

If you are exhausted, find a hidden place and deal with it a little bit, and you can easily find a replacement.

"Then... there is no such thing as the obligation to go to the factory to suffer..."

Matthew's voice was mixed with trembling crying.

"Yes. We either don't have a family, or the family can't take care of themselves. The food in the factory is crudely made every day, but at least the food and housing are managed, and the factory manager will pay the parents some money. There are some people like this? They specialize in giving birth to children and working as child laborers. Trafficking, you don’t need to care about your health, it’s fine if you can live to five or six years old. More orphans, who don’t even know who their parents are, go to work in factories just to survive, even if it’s not better than starving to death where to go."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Even so, are there really that many children...?"

Lixiang seemed to be trying to prove the loopholes in Oliver's words, trying to find a reason, counting the time of pregnancy in October, a poor family may only have one or two children a year at most.

"In order to maintain stability, the council no longer forces the man to support his family, but chooses to separate the husband and wife. The man becomes a bachelor, and the woman becomes an orphan and widow. Instead, the child is the bond of maintenance. Master of Chaldea... I did not insult Any woman can mean it, but in our day, girls had one more way out than boys."

Subconsciously, Lixiang hugged her body tightly.

"Yes, it is to sell your body in exchange for today's dinner... When you turn into a dark alley, you can often see girls doing things that are no different from prostitutes. The youngest is only seven or eight years old... Wait until they have the fertility There is no way to prevent pregnancy, so they can only give birth. Some are discarded in the stinky ditch, and some are discarded in the trash can. It was a much more tragic situation than now, and the rivers are full of dead babies. , it was covered with flies, and the babies in the garbage dump would even become food for wild dogs... There is no shortage of child labor in London. I am lucky. 070 was finally redeemed after several twists and turns, and more were buried in the dark age , you can’t see the light after death..."

Rama remembered that the victims of Jack the Ripper's serial killings were prostitutes. He was famous in the smog, provoking the police several times but still at large.

London in the nineteenth century was an extremely harsh environment.

The upper class society is still full, but the bottom layer of the advancement era is chaotic.

I had an unpleasant experience in this city - Matthew didn't expect that there are so many inside stories hidden behind Oliver's ordinary words.

"...Sorry, I have a little too much."

Oliver was silent for a while, and decided to take the initiative to interrupt the topic.This is enough history that any old gentleman in YG would not want to look back on, and it would be too heavy to talk about after dinner.

Mordred carried her sword, and on the way back to Jekyll's house, she didn't say a word. She was in a bad mood abce, she managed to turn around a little, and now fell into a trough again.

The Industrial Revolution was an era when blood was poured on pavements, and Matthew witnessed that cruel scene with his own eyes.

After all, the area of ​​Jekyll's house is limited, Joan of Arc and the others will return to Chaldea at nightfall to make room for Rama and his party.

Both Matthew and Lixiang were depressed, even Fufu, who didn't know the truth, looked depressed when she saw the dejected Matthew.

"Ah... let them see something bad..."

Doctor Roman scratched his hair irritably. He was not ignorant of the background of the Industrial Revolution. Perhaps for Matthew and the others, the baptism of war might not be as cruel as London in the nineteenth century.

"I'll go and persuade them. Anyway, I still have a plan to lure Jack the Ripper tomorrow."

"please."

Dr. Roman clasped his hands together and thanked Rama sincerely, which made Rama a little uncomfortable.

Having said that, Dr. Roman is really concerned about Lixiang and Matthew, he must always pay attention to their physical condition, and now Matthew is facing a mental load.

There are only two rooms in Jekyll's house. As the head of the family, Jekyll offered to sleep in the living room. Oliver couldn't share the same room with the girl, so he simply lived in the living room with Jekyll.Rama originally did too, but now I'm going to talk to Lixiang and Mash in their room.

Mordred and Frankenstein were in another room, and Altria Alter said that she could rest and adjust while sitting on a chair, so she simply moved a chair and sat outside Lixiang and Matthew's room.

Rama felt that there should be no assassins.

Walking outside the door, Altria Alter was woken up unexpectedly. She saw that it was Rama and didn't say much. Matthew and Lixiang seemed to have experienced some terrible things. Altria Alter Not dull, the mental state of the two is very poor, maybe they haven't fallen asleep until now.

Arturia alter did not stop Rama, she continued to sit on the chair and take a nap.

Both Lixiang and Matthew have pajamas, and it is recommended to summon the array and have a comfortable room, which should be the best treatment since the singularity of all dynasties, but neither of them can be happy.

"Saber...?"

"You really haven't slept yet... Are you thinking about what Oliver said today?"

"Saber, what Oliver said..."

is that true?

Lixiang asked Rama for help with confused eyes. Her knowledge was limited to general world history. She knew about the Industrial Revolution, but she didn't know what was behind it.

"What Oliver said is true. Before the industrial revolution, child labor had no economic income. Therefore, in the early industrial revolution, child labor... should belong to the gray area."

Rama couldn't give any deceitful answers, that was the bloody history that had happened, and it was useless to escape.

It can even be said that Oliver stopped the topic in time, preventing Lixiang and Matthew from understanding other problems brought about by child labor during the Industrial Revolution.

The first is discipline. The main reason why the factory manager hires child labor is that they are good at discipline. Beating and scolding is a common method. In some factories, there are extremely strict regulations. They cannot groom themselves before leaving get off work, cannot sneeze, and cannot take breaks without authorization. ,etc.

The second is education. Some child laborers are from poor families, but more often their parents are also workers. The only time they meet each day is when they go to bed at night. If it is a controlled factory, they may not see each other for several months. to the parents.Working in a dirty and violent environment, the mental torture trained them into barbarians one after another. .

Text Chapter 110 Matthew's Heart Knot

Failure to receive a good education and exposure to violence generally creates only two types of people.

Be bullied forever, or be the new perpetrator.

The phenomenon of bullying during the Industrial Revolution was also very serious, and it was another nightmare for child laborers besides tedious work.

"Saber, if we fix the fourth singularity, those will still happen?"

"Oliver is talking about the original history, and we cannot and cannot change it. The Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragon triggered by Black Joan will restore the victims as we revise human history, but the humans who were originally killed in the Hundred Years' War, We can't save it."

"Then I don't want to fix it..."

Lixiang was angry for a while, and once uttered self-defeating words.

"It must be corrected. If you give up here, it means that all mankind is abandoned... Let's put it this way, the sacrifices of the children of the industrial revolution have promoted the development of technology and made scientific progress possible. The long-term benefits of doing so Whether the impact is good or bad, I don't know, but I can be sure that because of them, the results of the 21st century can be achieved."

The progress of science is advancing step by step. Human beings look up to the sky and want to soar in the sky, and it took thousands of years to realize it.

The child labor of the Industrial Revolution was part of the wheel of history, and even though the wheel was stained with blood, it did turn into fuel for progress.

"If you give up here, you will give up all the sacrifices they made. They can't be resurrected, and we can't change history. What you can do is to keep the era and the distant future they wove with their lives, at least they It should be remembered, and if everyone forgets, what is their sacrifice?"

"..."

Lixiang lowered her head, she walked to the fourth singularity, and it was the first time that she had the idea of ​​giving up due to other reasons.Human history is not always full of light, nor is every era a bright and sunny road.

If you want to protect, you must protect all. Whether it is the era of freshness and warmth, or the era of dirty and whitewashed peace, they are all part of human history.

"It's just idealism to remove the bad parts. It's not shameful for you to have this kind of thinking, but it must not lead you to the wrong path."

"...So Saber is such a reasonable person."

"No, reasoning is what I'm least good at. It's much easier to win or lose with real swords and guns."

Rama shrugged. Based on his current combat power, if the man behind the Burning of Humanity dared to show up, Rama would definitely win the battle. The problem is that everything is a mystery and he can only walk step by step.

"You're right...I can't just give up...Miss Joan of Arc, Your Majesty Nero, Captain Drake...They are all beautiful people, I can't make a hasty decision and abandon them together."

There may be differences in the details, but Rama agrees with Lixiang's final conclusion.

People will change, full of colorful colors like the scrolls of human history.

Nero will become a tyrant in his later years, and Drake has always felt that pirates are not good people.

Lixiang thought of those who fought for it, and couldn't bear to give up.

"Matthew, are you alright?"

Li Xiang thought a lot, she shook Matthew's arm lightly, Matthew was listening all the time, she didn't get distracted.

What I saw with my own eyes today, as well as the bloody history told by Oliver, completely diluted the joy of Matthew being fortunate enough to be able to house Holmes' house.This should be the first time that Matthew has encountered the dark side of human beings. For a long time, Matthew's experience is not a flower in a greenhouse, but it is not so cruel.

"Senior, there are such tragedies in every era?"

"Uh……"

Lixiang has a one-sided understanding of the history of foreign countries, but he is somewhat clear about the history of his own country. Japan in history has not been smooth sailing. Every country has experienced times that cannot be looked back.

0 · Flowers 0 ····

The industrial revolution was the brilliance of YG country, but it was not completely brilliant. YG country became the world-famous empire on which the sun never sets, and the child laborers sacrificed in the industrial revolution were shadows that the sun could not illuminate.

"Mash, do you know...the Second World War?"

Matthew nodded. Although there was no singularity of the Second World War, it was a catastrophe that almost involved the whole world. It is impossible for Matthew to have no understanding.What's more, even in 2016, it has not been 100 years since the baptism of the Second World War.

"In the Second World War, represented by the three Axis powers, fascism launched aggression to the whole world... On the stage of the Second World War, filled with the darker violence of nineteenth-century London, people with justice in their hearts Not limited to resistance, but also reflecting on why the Second World War broke out."

"..."

"Lack of a kind of restraint, almost every country is doing its own thing. Even if there is an alliance, it is mostly a window paper that can be broken. People are deeply aware of the importance of peace. After the end of World War II, The United Nations was created to promote international cooperation and achieve world peace and security."

As early as the end of the First World War, some countries had established similar organizations. However, the scale of the First World War determined that people were not united, so they failed to prevent the outbreak of the Second World War.

Whether the United Nations in the 21st century is meaningful or not, Rama does not want to discuss it. It is worth mentioning that the establishment of Chaldea is not only assisted by the Magic Association, but also has the background of the United Nations.

"People will reflect on it after bleeding. Scars are difficult to heal. The only thing we can do is to eradicate them, and this is not an example."

Text Chapter 110 The Stars After the Sun

Matthew doesn't know much about the investment in Chaldea. In short, about [-]% of the funds are owned by the family headed by Olga Marie, the Animsfia family.

But then again, as far as Matthew knows, the cost of Chaldea is not low. The last time unknown people attacked Chaldea, even if the damaged parts were repaired, the function was not as good as before.The Animsfia family did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build Chaldea, which is too profound.

"Mash... what you should focus on is not the tragedies that you are unable to change, there is still much you can do. If you keep worrying about missing the sun, then you will also miss the stars."

"...!"

As if enlightened, Matthew had a feeling of "zero two three" for a moment.
