The visiting guests were not disciples of the Heavenly Artifact Sect, nor were they cultivators, but two mortals.

Li Zisheng accused Hu Yunduo of guilt and entered the front hall to meet the guests.

"Meet the Third Young Master." Seeing him walking in, the two young men in simple clothes stood up and bowed to the Third Young Master Li.

This third young master disliked such red tape the most in his life, but he still couldn't change everyone's concepts, so he had to hurry forward and help the two of them up: "Comrade Lao San and Comrade Xiaoqi, have you told you that there is no need to do this, no need to do this. We should be communicative."

He pulled up the two of them, shook hands with them, and let the third and Xiaoqi sit back to their original position.

The third and seventh brothers are not brothers, nor relatives, and they are not even of the same surname. It’s just that poor people don’t have the intention to name their children, so they can only use ranking names. In fact, this is also a common phenomenon in Central China. For example, another subordinate of Li Zisheng, who was left in Tieshan City, Ye Ganzi, "Kanzi" is just his nickname.

The third surname is Li and the second surname is Liu.

Li Laosan is not tall, has a wide forehead, sparse eyebrows, and a big mouth. With thick lips, he looks extremely honest and simple. Liu Xiaoqi is quite handsome, especially his nose is good-looking, with a high and straight nose bridge, and a pointed nose tip, as if he is brave. The book says that a man with such a look must be rich and noble.

The two of them looked in their early twenties. Not only were they dressed in shabby clothes, but their calluses and dull skin on their hands were also a little inconsistent in proportion. These were all indelible marks left by their work since childhood. The expressions on their faces were a little restrained. Even though they had seen Li Zisheng several times, they still seemed a little unreleased.

No wonder they were a little cautious. For both of them, Li was not an ordinary identity as a third son. However, the great figure in the Immortal Sect, the deputy deacon of Xin Jintang, was nothing inside the Heavenly Artifact Sect, but in the eyes of the mortals under the sect, that was the heavenly being.

Li Laosan and Liu Xiaoqi are both locals in Yuan'an. Their families have been working as iron workers under the Tiangui here since early on. They are native and well-known here. Li Zisheng was also inspected for a while before he absorbed the two of them into the Tieqing Tuan, hoping to rely on these two to carry out the work of workers here.

Mr. Li San shook his head in his heart. He selected these two to preside over the work of workers in Yuan'an City. He also spent some time to educate the two. This also values ​​Li Laosan and Liu Xiaoqi being familiar with Yuan'an City. They are young and energetic, and they also have some prestige among workers. They can be regarded as natural leaders.

However, the gap between the immortals in Zhongzhou is too big, and these two people are still a little timid.

In fact, Li Zisheng has never been a proletariat and has not really contacted the lower class people before. That is why he is not used to the attitude of these two members of the preparatory league.

Moreover, his revolutionary road is not so smooth now, mainly because he lacks a mass base, and the people here lack the spirit of resistance.

For example, Li Laosan and Liu Xiaoqi are now the heads and vice chairmen of the Yuan'an Trade Union, but according to their reports, the establishment of the Yuan'an trade union was not very smooth.

Why did the ancestors of the Mazda put their hopes in the world of Datong on the proletariat and believed that they were the pioneers of the revolution? This is because the Western proletariat in that era was mainly industrial workers. The so-called industrial workers were workers who engaged in collective production labor and used wage income as their source of living.

The key lies in the word "collective". The first thing about a collective is discipline, and industrialized production will make workers consciously disciplined. For example, farmers and workers have very different concepts of time. A farmer does not need to master the exact time. There is no difference between getting up at 8 o'clock and 8 o'clock and 8 o'clock and 5 o'clock. However, a worker may be late and deducted from his salary if he wakes up five minutes late.

More importantly, industrial workers must cooperate with their peers to complete their work, and before agricultural mechanization, farmers worked alone most of the time. Even in pre-modern war forms, cooperation was very important. Therefore, Qi Shaobao recruited Yiwu miners to resist Japanese pirates composed of professional pirates and warriors. The army composed of these miners was almost one-sided victory on the battlefield.

Therefore, industrial workers can become competent and excellent soldiers with a little training. This has been proven in the Paris Commune, the October Revolution and the Spanish Civil War. Moreover, the demand for resistance to oppression has made them highly motivated. They can withstand the dangerous environment of the battlefield, and their performance on the battlefield is no worse than that of professional soldiers. In fact, those dark mines and noisy factories at that time, noisy and noisy factories, and even if they are not careful, they will be injured or even killed. They are not much better than those on the battlefield.

But the reason why these industrial workers set up trade unions, organized strikes and marchs, and even launched armed revolutions is that they know that their struggles will always have some effect. Even if they cannot overthrow the rulers, they can intimidate them and let them sit down and negotiate.

Unfortunately, the workers here in Zhongzhou did not think that their struggle would achieve any effect. They knew in their hearts that even if they were a group of people, they would not have any deterrence to the ruling class composed of cultivators. Don’t refining Qi and refining gods or refining immortals. A few combat powers like Li Zisheng can slaughter hundreds of thousands of residents in Yuan'an City completely.

As a wise creature, humans will act in extreme environments of sacrifice, but the prerequisite is that individuals who are willing to sacrifice their lives know that their sacrifices are meaningful, at least they think they are meaningful.

Humans can "deceive" themselves.

However, the strength between mortals and cultivators is too great. Even if you want to deceive yourself, you can't.

In this regard, Taipingdao did a good job, using the Kingdom of God in heaven to tempt the people and make them have infinite yearning for the other side. This is the charm of religion.

Of course, Mr. Li knew that the persuasiveness of religion was just right, but unfortunately 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 report of the two. The union was established, and the workers were willing to participate in some amateur activities, such as workers' clubs and workers' night schools. These activities were still popular.

But the next step will be difficult to carry out.

Li Laosan said with a flashing look: "General Secretary, well, that comrade, we also want to organize the workers to have a general strike you mentioned to make the Heavenly Gate raise wages and shorten working hours, but no one wants to do it. Everyone says, everyone says..."

"But it's okay." Li Zisheng waved his hand.

"Everyone says that the immortal masters are so grateful that they can enjoy the food. I really dare not ask for more."

Mr. Li San said with some dissatisfaction: "Then you didn't tell them that you could not produce these products without the labor of the big guys?"

This time, Liu Xiaoqi said, "Why, some people say that the immortal masters can move mountains and rivers, how can they not do this little thing? And... if they anger the immortal masters in the Heavenly Artifact Sect, they will have no food to eat. Maybe this life will not be guaranteed."

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

Alas, it seems that I am still anxious, but the theory and reality are still out of touch.

The reactionary forces here in Zhongzhou are too strong, and even these two companions who are more rebellious are not confident when facing cultivators like themselves.

They can't blame them for this matter, nor do they blame the workers. Just like I want to be slandered with the Tie family? How can I beg those ordinary workers?

Mr. Li San also heard that it was not that Li Laosan and Liu Xiaoqi did not agree with what he said, but they still lacked the courage to fight against the cultivators of the Heavenly Artifact Sect.

This matter still needs to be discussed for a long time.

General Secretary Li thought about it and turned over and bowed to each other.

"How to ask for it, please get up quickly." Li Laosan and Liu Xiaoqi hurriedly stood up and turned to their sides, saying that they did not dare to accept such etiquette.

After paying a visit to them, Li Zisheng said with a smile: "This is my apology for you two comrades. I was not fully considering the matter before, which made you embarrassed!"

"No, no, no, this is what we should do." Li Laosan said with his lips trembling.

"Yes, every word that the General Secretary said was in my heart. Unfortunately, I couldn't convince everyone with clumsy words. This is all my fault with Lao Li." Liu Xiaosan also said.

General Secretary Li smiled heartily and said, "Hahaha, we comrades should not be so polite."

He changed the subject and said, "Okay, since there is a little difficulty in strike, then you can talk about other work arrangements."

"As for orders, Comrade General Secretary."

The three of them said that it took about two hours and had a supper together, which ended the work meeting.

When Li Zisheng delivered the two to the door, it was already the moon on the willows.

"Senior Brother, what are you talking about with those mortals? You don't even pay me for dinner. Well, let's have it." At this time, Yan Baoer had returned to the development department, and she said a little complaining.

Mr. Li frowned slightly and said with a kind look: "Junior Sister Baoer, aren't we all mortals? At least they used to be, so why can't there be nothing to talk about?"

Yan Baoer replied naturally: "I am not a mortal, and you are not right now."

Tie Qianzun's voice came from outside the door: "Hmph, this fox charming boy is rarely right. There is a difference between immortals and mortals, junior brother, you must remember it."

This pair of girls who are incompatible with gold and fire stood on the same position for the first time.
