It was a night that was destined to be unusual, as both sides were like poisonous snakes biting each other's bodies, and even if they could bite each other, the other would inject deadly venom before dying. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jian Chen is not the kind of person who is as wise as a demon, but he knows that the other party does not dare to bet.

The fact that these workshop workers opposed the charity decree and demanded their special status a year ago is the source of Chen Jian's belief that they dare not gamble.

From that moment on, the group ceased to be mere rebels, but became part of the city's system, their compromise transcending the struggle.

Compromise is the foundation of the state, or the embryonic city of the state.

The rudiments of the state, like the concepts of chastity and private ownership, have not always existed.

When a city or a state appears, it means that the society is caught in an irresolvable self-contradiction, and people are divided into irreconcilable opposites with the division of labor in society, and these opposites cannot be shaken off.

These conflicting opposites need a power over all of them in order not to destroy each other in a senseless struggle. The reason for the existence of this force is to defuse the conflict, to keep the conflict within the scope of "rules and order", and to prevent the self-destruction of both sides.

This power is the state, or the prototype of the state.

In the embryonic form of the state, each class has to harm a part of its own interests, and at the same time enjoy a part of the interests that others have given up, compromising with each other, until one of them no longer gives up, thus triggering a life-and-death mutual destruction, which is the troubled times.

In troubled times, there are not only countless starving corpses and blood, but also the bones and nobles of the princess, which is the destruction of each other.

From the moment those workshop workers learn to compromise, it means that they are truly qualified to become Chinese people, to become a member of the embryonic form of the country.

From the moment when the people of Xiacheng wanted these workshop workers to stay, it meant that the people of Xia Cheng were truly qualified to become the most important members of the ruling class who knew how to give up their interests appropriately in exchange for stability, and the prototype of the country.

All this doomed Chen Jian's only remaining fantasy to fail, and it was destined that this would not be an epic of heart-wrenching.

Fortunately, this is the first act. The first act is just a comedy or a tragedy, and there is a bit of a heroic flavor. And by the time the people who learned so much later perform the second act, it will inevitably turn into an embarrassing farce.

If this happened decades later, if Chen Jian was already dead and rotten at that time, he would still not be let go - if faced with such a chaotic situation at that time, when everyone had nothing to do, it was natural that someone would put on Chen Jian's rotten bones, even if what he did was not the same as what Chen Jian did: to resurrect the dead to a certain extent is to praise the righteousness of his actions, because he is clothed with the bones of the dead, and people never imagine it out of thin air when solving problems, but look for spiritual sustenance from the past.

It's sad, fantasizing about the return of the saint, so as long as there is a person who bears some resemblance to the bones, is related by blood, or even just deliberately imitates, he will still get tens of thousands of fans, even if it is a mediocre person.

It can be said that today's touching scene of thousands of people calling for support is the beginning of countless dirty political farces in the future. It's the same with other cities, but the bones borrowed from the farce are not Chen Jian.

When Ji Yun shouted out Ji Xia's arbitrariness and was supported by many people, Jian Chen was surprised and smiled bitterly, it was because the authorities were obsessed.

Now, when I think about all these reasons as a bystander, I finally understand that this is the inevitable result.

Because Xia Cheng ...... It's just a fake slave clan town.

With the advent of workshops, the output of slaves was no longer the lifeblood and survival of the city.

It was not the private individuals who ruled the workshops, but the class of people who still needed to work, who were different from the workshop workers but did not form a class that was completely opposed to the workshop workers, who had no strength or theory to pursue their own political cessaries and true rule.

The workshop workers are no longer the real bottom of Summer City after the reform movement, they have strength but are accustomed to compromise and non-violence.

The power of the private workshops in Xia City is still very weak, they are attached to the city system, but they are not allowed to be in the system outside Xia City, and they do not have their own strong strength.

After the advent of iron farming tools, there were already a large number of small peasant classes, but because of the remnants of the clan system and the collective system, a large part of the peasants chose to work collectively.

In general, there is not a single class that can really be called a ruling class in Xia City, and the forces of each class are weak and scattered.

Their own class is not enough to rule Xia City alone, their strength is not enough to protect their own class interests with their own interests alone, and even their strength is not enough to represent themselves, so they can only elect a person who fantasizes that he will represent their class interests.

Slaves, slave owners, workshop workers, workshop owners, collective village communities, individual land, non-part-time countrymen workshop workers, off-duty armies...... The combination and division of these forces made Xia City different from any other city outside.

In the rest of the cities, there was always a class that was in the main position, and the rudiments of the state were the tools of the ruling class, and it was natural that they knew and had the strength to maintain their rule, such as the slave owners.

In Xia City, the bureaucratic system completed in a few years made many people who could have become slave owners become bureaucrats who received public salaries; The original slaves became destitute but "free" workshop workers; The original private cultivators of the land united to become the managers and laborers of the collective workshops; The original low-level Chinese people have become workshop workers who enjoy the welfare of the Chinese people......

Like a piece of cloth, the rest of the city has many colors, but the heaviest ones are black and white, which are called slaves and slave owners, and the rest are just embellishments.

On this cloth in Xiacheng, there are strange lights, black and white, gardenia yellow, red with red flowers, green leaves with green, and indigo blue.

There are every color, but none of them can be the dominant color of this painting.

In the whole Xia city system, the power of the slave owners was weak, and the power of the slaves was equally weak; The workshop workers are organized but accustomed to compromise, and the opposing class, which has no real workshop owners, has a non-full-time Chinese workshop worker class; Part-time soldiers want someone to speak for them, and semi-part-time people want wealth rather than destruction; The small peasant class, whose own land is cattle and iron tools, knows that they cannot become the ruling class, so they simply find a person to represent them......

And this one has all kinds of colors on his body, but it seems that it is the least likely to destroy the cloth; Or the one who paints the cloth with any two opposing single colors, is the one who cries out for the hope of the dictatorial Ji Xia.

So in the end it becomes a comedy of compromise.

Whether it is the conspirator, the Chinese, the workshop worker, Ji Yun who makes the tide, or Chen Jian who treads the tide, they are all actors in this comedy.

It's just that the ending of this scene of comedy is not a reunion, and there are bloody corpses in the process, which inevitably makes people's hearts beat when they watch it.

Every actor worked hard to perform, but had to succumb to their own weakness, turning Jian Chen's heart-wrenching script into a laugh-inducing farce - if a farce that had died and shed blood was also a comedy.

For example, conspirators.

The weak man always relies on believing in miracles for salvation, thinking that if he can drive out the enemy in his imagination, he will defeat the enemy.

Because of this imagination, those conspirators believed that their worst enemy was Jian Chen. Because this imagination made them lose their sense of reality, they imagined that as long as Chen Jian's prestige was weakened, they would win, and the miracle was that they could easily control the situation in Yucheng.

What they know in their hearts to be a miracle is no longer a miracle, so the miracle itself is a trivial thing that can be taken for granted by the conspirators, so everything they plan is based on this miracle that is not a miracle in their opinion.

This doomed these conspirators to become the best performers of this comedy, vividly interpreting their weakness, fantasy, and cowardice, through which the people saw their decay and fragility, and saw the possibility of Xia Cheng taking a different path from the rest of the city, and the people found that they no longer needed the old council.

Another example is the low-level people.

Chinese people want to maintain their own treatment, and they don't want more people to share their rights and benefits. They hoped that the workshop workers would not resist and accept the change of rules, and continue to work well in the workshop, but they ignored that all this would turn into violent protests, or they did not expect the protests to be so fierce.

In the face of violent resistance, the people of the country look forward to returning to the starting point, because the starting point is always better than now, after all, it is the abyss and at least the horizon at the beginning, but when they want to quickly end these things and return to the original point, they find that they have nothing to do.

This is destined to be the extras in this comedy, there are no close-ups, no heroes, and even their own unique voices, their role is to praise others for their horror in this scene, and to know the strength of others through their mouths, because passers-by can always see the difference in strength between the two sides of the duel between the authorities.

Another example is the workshop worker.

It's good that the workshop workers have been organized, and they aspire to be human beings, to have the identity of real human beings.

But since last year, they have betrayed the greatest number of people who can unite like them before, cut off the possibility of their power to expand, and they have been isolated and become a small circle of special beings. No more people are allowed to enter this circle, and no one else is allowed to destroy this circle.

This circle is organized and powerful, but it does not have its own practical program, and subconsciously has always believed in Yucheng's conscience, and even they themselves do not know that their strength is strong enough - the people of Xia Cheng did not exclaim horror, but they did not choose to attack directly to crush the shock, this kind of wordless statement shows the strength of these workshop workers even more.

The workshop workers waited and waited until they found that the people in Yucheng had torn off their masks and were ready to be shaken, and they thought of leaving Yucheng to build a new city on their own, but this was only a last resort, and it was too late.

Once there is a change in Yucheng, they will wait and see again, looking forward to conscience, looking forward to charity, to break the unity when they are cornered, and to hope for another possibility, such as compromise.

This dooms the workshop workers to be the most un-like protagonists in this farce, there are heroes among them, but they only lift up heroes when there is no way out, and then because of the heroes mistakenly equate the power itself with the hero, so when the stronger one appears, they look forward to it, and fantasize that it is their own hero.

The hard work of the three parties, in the end, still evolved into a comedy in which the heroes stand out, drive away the bad guys, and everyone has a happy ending.

Even if it's a comedy, it's time for the curtain to come to an end, even if it's not as good as it should be, but at least it's a step forward.

The sky is the curtain, the earth is the stage, the years are like drums, and thousands of people become a play.
