862、The big family with ulterior motives
Soon, news about the enrollment of technical schools spread quickly, and it immediately caused a wave of registration. However, Jing Wen found that the students seemed to have some wrong composition! These students seemed to have the same surname, and they were generally within the range of several surnames. In other words, they seemed to be a family, which was really strange. Why did the whole family come here to register? This obviously did not conform to the reality, which made Jing Wen very depressed.
"Brother, why are you all here to sign up?" Jing Wen asked.
And the man who looked quite stout immediately said: "It's okay to say that we are a family. But it's okay to say that we are not a family!"
"Is there any other way?" Jing Wen asked curiously.
"For example, my name is Zheng Song, and my surname was Liang. I was changed to Zheng after I entered the Zheng family as a servant. Now the Zheng family has sent many people to learn these so-called technologies. We are all sent to learn, so we can come and learn and strive for a bright future in the future." Zheng Song said.
Jing Wen was surprised, why did those big families send their servants to learn this technology? If they follow the habits of those big families, they should not pay attention to any of these technologies, because although no one in those big families knows these technologies, they can definitely invite people with professional skills to serve themselves! Therefore, there is no need for those big families to send these so-called servants to learn. What do they want to think about! And these servants are here to learn this technology, will they really serve the big families? If they are all serving the big families, then those big families may not need so many craftsmen? Obviously, these craftsmen have exceeded the demand of those big families, but the big families are still so happy to send people to learn. This is too boring, right?
"What do you want to do if the patriarch of your family asks you to study?" Jing Wen asked.
Zheng Song sighed and said, "That's right. We are all servants of the big family. We are private slaves of the big family and have no household registration. We are also untouchables, and our status is equivalent to property. And our life and death are in the hands of nobles in the family. If we do anything wrong, we will be severely punished, and sometimes we may even be beaten to death. After death, although the master may be punished, it will definitely not be too heavy. We do not have our own land, and the government will not grant us land, so we are all people without any wealth."
Jing Wen was also speechless. In this era, there were still slaves and slaves. These people did not occupy the mainstream of society and were less than one percent of the population. However, they were people without freedom and could only rely on their masters to survive. Moreover, they did not have the qualifications to strive for progress. They were decided by their masters for generations and had no right to freedom at all. And they were not qualified to have their own industries, and everything they had is the masters, so they could only rely on their masters.
However, China has passed the era of slavery, and such people are not the mainstream of society. On the contrary, because they are not the mainstream of society, they are easily ignored by the entire social government. The government will not pay attention to the interests of these people because they occupy too little population. So they are tragic and have a very miserable fate. It can be said that they are called "daily and unsatisfied". Now their masters ask them to learn this technology, so they can only come and learn.
"Now the master said that as long as we can come and learn these technical people, and then innovate some new things. Then apply for a patent, we can return them to us freedom. At that time, we can also gain freedom and obtain our own land. In this way, we can no longer have to be slaves and servants for generations. We can become free. So of course we have to come and learn these technologies and strive to invent something, so that we are free. Even if we don't invent anything, we can improve our status, after all, we are people with a skill."
Jing Wen almost vomited blood. These guys were originally those who came to invest in the aristocratic families. Because those aristocratic families had a lot of eyes and ears in the government, they immediately knew that the court was about to promulgate a patent bill. This bill would give workers the opportunity to get rich. Then those aristocratic families obviously heard about it and immediately sent their own people to learn these technologies. As long as they learned the relevant technologies, they would develop their own patented technologies, so that those workers would invent it.
But they sent all the slaves in the family. According to the law, they were only the property of the master's family, so even if they invented their own technical patents, it belonged to their master. And those aristocratic families immediately sent people to study and strive to learn technology. Because those aristocratic families also knew that Jing Wen could obtain millions of wealth in the future through the curved plow and seed machine, which was enough to make the aristocratic families moved. No matter how rich those aristocratic families were, they could not ignore millions of money! So they immediately asked people to come to learn, in fact, they just wanted to bet. If they could learn and invent their own patents, then those big families could sit at home to count money, which was equivalent to a new channel of wealth.
"Your grandpa, these big families are really a group of cunning. I created these patent bills, but you want to invest. Once there are any new inventions, they belong to your families. The price you pay is just to transform a slave into a free man, so what is the loss!" Jing Wen complained in his heart.
