Chapter 1450: The Pleasure of the Rich and the Suffering of the People
The war in the north is raging.
The central inland area, however, seems very peaceful.
This is the safest place for the goblin civilization and also the most important place for the goblin civilization.
The entire inland area of central and southern Taiwan belongs to the First Chaebol family, which has a firm grip on this fertile land and even controls two port cities.
It was the fertile land that established their status as the first family.
The people of the first family also have a firm control over this land, and they regard the land as their foundation.
However, many of them believe that it is the land that made them successful, but only a few know that it is the common people of this land that really allowed their first family to continue.
This group of people protect the basic rights and interests of these ordinary people, while most people turn a blind eye to it.
They don't understand that everything they have was created by the common people.
And the common people don't have a good impression of the first family.
Because the smart people in power never show up down there in person.
What they need is to arrange themselves vertically and horizontally on the top so that the goblin people in their territory can live in peace.
However, the ones who are really active in front of the common people are the wealthy sons and daughters who want to eat meat.
For ordinary people, what they need is not to witness all kinds of extravagance.
If you let ordinary people go to see a concert by a world star, they will not be grateful to you at all.
But if you give the people a certain amount of subsidies, or if you subsidize the people with the money for buying concert tickets in some way, the people will definitely thank you with a smile.
But it is obvious that these chaebol sons and daughters who grew up with a silver spoon in their mouths have no idea about the daily necessities of life.
Many chaebol sons of wealthy families wander around their territories every day. When they see a beautiful woman, they go up to her and chat her up. If the other party does not give them face, they will use their family's power.
If it was just a small family, then their patriarch could still keep it under control, but the problem was that the No. 1 chaebol family had become a behemoth.
If you really play the Nine Clans Match 3, it will take a whole day just to cut off the direct lineage.
If one wants to eliminate all nine clans, it would probably require the killing of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people.
With so many people, the patriarch of the first family certainly cannot manage them all. These chaebol sons squander the family's money wantonly.
Although most of the money they squandered was their parents' money, their parents were no ordinary people.
It can basically be said that all members of the first family have no worries about food and clothing throughout their lives.
In a bustling city.
The roadsides were lined with goblin civilians waiting for employment.
Because the war has started, a large number of goblin civilians have become unemployed.
Because many factories have been converted from civilian to military use, they are not able to make a profit at all and naturally do not need too many workers.
Large numbers of workers were fired and replaced by those who had signed two or three-year contracts.
The wages of these workers have been reduced again and again. It can be said that they are basically forced to stay because of the unfair contracts.
If the workers are driven away, productivity will naturally decline, but the factory owner will not think so much.
They are capitalists, and the state's forced requisition of their factories is already very disrespectful to them.
As a result, they still have to carry out these non-profit productions. They can't make any money at all, so they are trying to cut wages and benefits.
The factory's production capacity has decreased, but the capitalists have met the country's needs with the lowest wages and earned a good reputation at the same time. This is simply killing three birds with one stone!
But what the capitalists did not expect was that these workers who were fired by them had nowhere to go.
The leader initially thought about conscripting all these workers.
This will at least ease social unrest.
But the leader found that he had thought too simply. According to official statistics, there were as many as 400 million unemployed people.
400 million people lost their jobs in just over half a month!
This is simply a slap in his face!
Because he said just two months ago that the goblins had entered the golden age.
It seems that we have not entered a golden age. The so-called economic boom is nothing but the blood and tears of the common people and the gluttonous feast of the capitalists and chaebols...
Four million workers were unemployed, and the leaders had no way of recruiting them all into an army.
Because these 400 million workers are all young and strong laborers. If they were all stuffed into the army, the army would simply not be able to withstand such great pressure.
They can't even feed themselves!
Now the factories have cut workers and reduced wages, barely ensuring the weapons and ammunition needs of nearly 200 million people on the front line.
Now you tell me to send 400 million soldiers over there. With the current productivity of the factories, it would be like handing the entire country over to Lyon.
The leader chose to recruit 50 soldiers, and at the same time strictly ordered each factory to recruit a certain number of workers.
These capitalists could only recall some workers, but the salaries they offered were much lower than before.
Many workers wanted to complain, but their boss spoke mercilessly.
"Do you know what kind of world we live in now? If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will! Giving you so much money is already a mercy to you. We can just throw you out on the street to fend for yourself!"
Many workers choose to accept the unfair terms silently.
Although this clause is no different from robbery, at least they can now have a job, and they have a family to support...
The capitalists were laughing like crazy.
Just because of a war, they not only drove out all the workers who were once highly paid, but now they have called back some of the experienced workers, and the salary is only one-third of the previous salary!
The capitalist said he was overwhelmed.
But the common people are not all fools... There are many smart people among them who have understood the conflict between class and capital from the very beginning.
As the war began, the antagonism between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie became increasingly obvious and the contradictions became increasingly intensified.
Many proletarian revolutionaries have seen the opportunity.
War will involve everyone, but the real winners are always the ruling classes on both sides.
Only the common people at the bottom of society have to bear everything.
If it is an enlightened country, the people will naturally bear all this willingly.
Because this country has given them a stable living environment and an affluent life, they no longer have to rush around for a living.
They will naturally fight to the end for this country, because home is the smallest country!
But the goblins obviously did not understand this. In their eyes, the exploitation of the proletariat was the most important thing.
As unemployment soared, capitalists went on a binge.
Because they have already earned enough money, times of national crisis are the perfect opportunity for these capitalists to make a fortune!
