The good life of Picheng people was won by Zu'an people?
That sounds counter to common sense.
"Zu'an people and Pi Chenglao..." Wei felt that his head was running short, "shouldn't it be the enemy?"
"Yes, yes, that's it -" Li Wei smiled: "The big tycoons in Picheng artificially made the difference between Zu'an people and Picheng people, just to make you think like that!"
According to the history he learned from Jana:
In the early days of the split between the two cities, there was no such division between Zu'an and Picheng.
Now from Zu'an to Picheng, crossing a canal bridge is the same as crossing the border. It's both smuggling inspection and qualification review. The law enforcement officers are standing there with guns and bullets to guard against every Zuan who tries to smuggle——
It was almost impossible to build a very, very great wall, which completely separated the border between Zu'an and Picheng.
More than 200 years ago, when the two cities had just split, there was no barrier between Zu'an and Picheng.
Zu'an people cross the river whenever they want. They work in Picheng during the day and return to Zu'an for rest at night.
The twin cities are not so much the twin cities as the slums and rich areas separated by canals.
But then things changed.
"Because Zu'an people can move freely, and at the same time, poor immigrants from all over the world continue to flow into Picheng, indirectly enriching Zu'an's labor population."
"So the business owners in Pirtwaff are more willing to hire Zu'an poor people who charge lower prices than Picheng civilians who can't bear hardship."
"Gradually, some Picheng civilians without education and skills and lacking personal competitiveness began to lose their jobs, return to poverty, or be forced to accept salary cuts, or even fall from the original class, so they had to sell their houses in Picheng and move to Zu'an across the river."
"The Picheng people are getting poorer and poorer, but the Zu'an people have not become rich."
"So, later --"
"When the Zu'an people first began to rebel against the entrepreneurs of Picheng, the civilians of Picheng did not stand with the Picheng Parliament, but secretly helped the Zu'an people's rebel organizations."
Li Wei told the historical truth that Zu'an and Picheng people cannot believe today:
"Even the law enforcement officers of Picheng at that time were hesitant in the repression, even did not work hard, and did not have the heart to attack the rebellious Zu'an people."
"Because the two cities were not so clear at that time."
"Zu'an people, many of them are Picheng people who have lost their jobs and returned to poverty."
"And most of those law enforcement officers in Picheng come from civilian families, and they are also unwilling to work for the big tycoons in Picheng and wield their butcher knives at their compatriots."
"This..." Wei listened attentively.
She could not believe that Zu'an people and her most hated Picheng people, even law enforcement officers, could have been "compatriots" before.
But now, they hate each other and kill each other. Why?
"Because of several successive rebellions of Zu'an people, the subtle attitude of Picheng people finally woke up Picheng Parliament."
"They realized that they were not against Zuan, but against the poor."
"In order to fight against the weakest and most powerful enemy, the Picheng Council chose to expand their basic plate, consolidate their ruling foundation, and artificially create divisions within the enemy -"
"They began to set up cards on the canal, officially separating Zu'an from Picheng."
"They began to raise the wages and welfare of Picheng people to ensure the employment of Picheng local people, and distinguish Picheng from Zu'an, so as to build the ethnic identity of Picheng people."
"Picheng and Zu'an, two different nationalities, were created artificially."
People in Picheng are rich. A rich man is apt to look down upon his poor relatives.
So Picheng people began to discriminate against Zu'an, and Zu'an people began to hate Picheng.
The contradiction between the poor and the chaebol has been quietly transformed into the contradiction between Picheng and Zu'an.
"This..." Wei felt dizzy.
Zu'an and Picheng people were originally compatriots.
The good days of Picheng people are also won indirectly by Zu'an people's resistance again and again.
"This... This is really ridiculous." Wei Zai murmured in shock: "What have we gained from all these years of resistance and sacrifice?"
"In exchange for the good days of 'compatriots', and their discrimination against us?!"
"But the real villains hide high in the sky and watch us bite each other like rats on the ground?"
This is really a horse
Just think about it!
This history makes any Zu'an people can't help but suppress an unknown fire.
"Wei." Li Wei felt her suddenly aggravated breath: "It seems that you also understand Hilco's hatred, right?"
"I..." Wei's face stagnated, "No! I'm different from him!"
In fact, after Levi's situation analysis and historical science popularization, her thoughts have quietly changed.
She unconsciously put down her resistance to the word "resistance" and realized the necessity and urgency of the struggle.
The only thing she didn't agree with was Hilko himself.
In our opinion, Hilko is a gold refining baron after all, or the most despicable, cruel, and the kind with no lower limit.
Wei doesn't think that Zu'an will be much better in the future if this villain replaces Pi Chenglao to rule Zu'an.
"Not only he, but also those alchemical barons who united with him. These alchemical barons also attached themselves to Vander."
"I know them -"
"Each of them is a treacherous, shameless, cruel, greedy scum, and is incombustible garbage that pollutes the environment when thrown into hell."
"Even if Zu'an really defeated Picheng in the hands of this group of people and gained independence, under their rule... the life of Zu'an people may not be much easier."
Wei sighed thoughtfully.
"You're right!" Li Wei was surprised.
He thought Wei belonged to the kind of muscular girl with simple mind and well-developed limbs, but he never thought that she was also very good at thinking.
Wei's question is critical.
In history, many colonies, after gaining independence from their suzerainty, were stolen by the "alchemy barons" because of the fruits of victory, which led to the strange phenomenon of not advancing but retreating.
Hilko, the so-called Zu'an leader, is actually similar to the Wulin Alliance Leader.
Nominally, Zu An is in charge, but in fact he has a large group of his own alchemical barons.
If he can't clean up these alchemical barons, the life of Zu'an people may not be better in the future even if he successfully leads Zu'an to independence.
If you want to avoid this situation, you must have a thorough cleaning in Zu'an.
But how can it be so easy?
Hilko's rule over Zuan is still the traditional leader - the sub master gangster model.
After sweeping away the alchemist barons, Hilko lost his right arm and became a bare commander.
At most, he put a little pressure on the disobedient younger brothers, and it was impossible to clean them all up.
So Li Wei thinks:
Hilko may succeed, but he is doomed to fail.
"What if I could point out a way different from Hilco?"
"Wei, are you interested in listening again?" Li Wei suddenly asked.
"I..." Wei was in a trance.
She clearly only cares about her sister, her only family, never cares about history, and has no ambition to save Zu'an.
But after such a long talk with Li Wei, she was inexplicably interested.
Then, Wei devils to answer: "Good."
