Original God, life in red Teyvat from scratch

"Aoki, would you please reconsider this? There is a lot of work to do here, and if you don't do it well, you will be held accountable. Why do you care about these trivial matters? It's better to have less trouble than more."

Aoki is the surname of the director of the assembly plant.

Aoki's old friend and now his colleague in Coral Palace advised him to do so.

“I have thought about it. This mutual aid group may indeed bring some burden to me, but as long as it can help more people and play its original role, then everything will be worth it.

Do you still remember Xiaochuan? "

"Of course I remember. Those guys from the shogunate took Xiaochuan to Tadasaga. Xiaochuan was polluted by the gods and was injured. They sent him back and ignored him! Isn't it because Xiaochuan was disappointed with the shogunate that we chose to come to Kaigi Island?"

"Yes, that's right. Isn't this the purpose of establishing a mutual aid group? To prevent the tragedy of Ogawa from happening again."

"But……"

“There is nothing but, perhaps, it can allow the craftsmen... oh no, the workers, to gain the right to speak, respect their ideas, and face up to their needs.

This may be what Lord Jiang Ming hopes for, and it is also the characteristic that distinguishes the Coral Palace from the Shogunate. We all don't want the Coral Palace to become the next Shogunate, right?"

"..."

There was a moment of silence.

After hearing this, the people on the scene finally understood the original intention and significance of establishing this mutual aid group, and the factory managers also began to understand this structure.

It is about uniting with the workers, speaking for the workers, and fighting for the interests of the workers.

The emergence of this organization means that workers have the power to participate in management and have sufficient say in Haigi Island, at least in the factory management system.

This change is so huge that it is at least unprecedented in Inazuma history.

This is the first time in history that craftsmen, now should be called workers, have the right to speak out, the right to fight for their own rights and interests, and the right to participate in social and political activities.

The workers as a group have their own clear political status.

And it’s not low!

The huge changes have left both workers and factory managers confused and at a loss as to what to do.

The workers were stunned by the huge surprise. They couldn't believe it and were so frightened that they dared not move.

What the factory managers had been wondering about before, besides whether this could be done, was what else should the workers do if they were given such great power?

How can they command these workers?

But now, those questions have been answered.

Perhaps, they will no longer be high-ranking officials, but will integrate into the group of workers and become part of them.

Because the existence of the mutual aid group is a banner that indicates the direction and draws a clear bottom line. No one can... at least not openly confront it.

Otherwise, it would be "incorrect".

The "right" person could replace them at any time.

Their power is greatly restricted.

What Jiang Ming made very clear was that the workers were just the beginning, not the end.

Jiang Ming did not choose to hide this.

Because this is just a new method, a new practice, and it doesn't involve anything deeper.

Not to mention that in the eyes of others, this practice may not be successful.

Secondly, making people's lives better is a common political correctness and there is nothing that cannot be said.

Especially with Xinhai's support.

Xin Hai also publicly expressed his support for this decision, suppressing some of the controversial voices within the Coral Palace.

Is it worth it?

Is this appropriate?

This question echoed in the minds of the people present.

"Well, let me join." A sudden voice broke the silence at the scene.

People looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man.

"The reason why I came to Haigi Island is very simple. A lot of my family's land was taken away, and the little land left was not even enough for me to feed myself. In order to eat, I even owed a large debt, so we ran to Haigi Island.

My lords, you are the lords of the Coral Palace, but I am a peasant who has been hungry. I know what it feels like to be hungry, and I know what happens when you are targeted by those skinners.

Before, I had no choice; now that I have this opportunity, I don’t want anyone else like me to appear.”

"And I."

"Count me in too."

Some people at the scene began to follow suit and signed up to join this mutual aid group.

But after all, they are just individuals, a minority at best.

More people are still waiting and watching.

The turning point came a few days later.

Aoki, the director of the assembly plant, was transferred by Coral Palace to serve as the head of the newly established production department.

He was promoted just a few days after being appointed as the director of the assembly plant, when even his own factory was still a construction site.

It's a step to success.

Although he was still a lone commander, it did not prevent this from causing a sensation among the crowd.

People don't know how much this is related to his active participation in the mutual aid group, but it's hard to say with such a coincidence.

In addition to those who already have a sense of responsibility, people with other intentions or those who simply want to try their luck also began to sign up enthusiastically.

One problem this brings is that the difficulty of review is greatly increased.

It is difficult for people to tell whether these people come with the intention of helping others or with the intention of using it as a stepping stone to promotion and wealth.

Those who signed up to join this group a few days ago became the favorites. Not only did the review process become extremely simplified, but they also started to take up some positions within the group.

Because those who joined before Aoki was promoted were either idealists with a strong sense of responsibility and mission, the kind of people who "cannot let others suffer like themselves", or they were smart enough.

There is no need to worry too much about these two types of people.

The latter may not believe this, nor care about the workers, but he is in this position, standing under this big banner, and he has to continue acting.

Otherwise, the higher you stand, the harder you fall.

As long as you act out this act for your whole life, it doesn’t matter.

Pretense is also true.

Smart people should understand this principle.

Jiang Ming was somewhat surprised at Aoki's transfer.

He recommended Aoki to be the production manager simply because he thought Aoki could ask questions when he had them, rather than blindly executing orders. This style left a good impression on him, and he felt that he was really suitable for this position in the production department.

After the commotion, he realized something was wrong, and after some investigation he found out what Aoki had said to people.

"Well, how should I put it, it was quite sudden."

He felt a little regretful again.

People like Aoki may play a greater role if they stay at the grassroots level in this early stage of development.

But is the chain reaction brought about by promotion good or bad?

Hard to comment.

Chapter 33 Thought Palette

"So, in summary, I think it is necessary to set up ideological construction positions in the newly formed hot weapons army. Moreover, not only in the army, but also in the civilian population of Haigi Island, relevant positions should be established. For details, you can refer to the newspaper office we set up on Ming Shen Island."

A new day, an old meeting, inside the Coral Palace.

Meetings on how to expand and reorganize the Coral Palace have been going on for several days.

This is mainly to solve the current shortage of staff in Coral Palace and to adapt to the new development situation.

The three tasks of production, education and publicity were separated and new departments were established.

The production department is to meet the needs of current industrial development. The education department is currently mainly responsible for skills training and cultivating qualified and skilled workers.

Propaganda work was also listed separately, purely because the current thoughts on Haigi Island are so chaotic that they are like a color palette.

There are those who have extreme faith in the Snake God and are determined to restore the glory of the Snake God.

There are people who come to Umijima simply to seek refuge and do nothing.

There were those who simply wanted to resist the exploitation of the shogunate.

There are those who harbour illusions and wish to avoid war.

There are also those who fight wars just for their own peace.

There are also those who want to maintain the status quo without change.

There are both good and bad aspects to the idea.

The actions are equally varied.

Some of them planned to rush directly into the castle tower and destroy General Raiden.

Some people do not want to fight and want to engage in peace talks.

Some people believe that they should attack Narukami Island directly and overthrow the shogunate and take its place.

Fortunately, given the current situation on Haigi Island, no one has yet advocated unconditional surrender.

Various ideas collided among the people of Haigi Island, and people who advocated various ideas thought that the other party was mentally retarded and there was no way they could communicate at all.

Not only among the people, but also among the Haiqi army, there are diverse ideas.

The most typical ones are nothing more than three types: the extreme snake god faction, the guardian faction, and the living people.

Needless to say, the former, the so-called guardian faction, actually joined the army to protect their relatively free life that is not exploited by the shogunate, and to protect their families.

This kind of person is pretty good, but just like the extreme Snake God sect, they are in the minority.

Most of them are just people who live their lives.

I do whatever my superiors tell me to do. If I can't do the job well, I will just pass the blame on to others. I am the type who just does my job as a monk. I came to the Haiji Army just to make a living.

This kind of person seems to be easy-going and obedient, and may be good in ordinary places, but if he is placed in the army, especially an army like the Haiqi Army that is currently at war, it is difficult to describe him.

In fact, they are no different from mercenaries.

Several previous conflicts have proved that the Haiji Army in this state can fight a favorable battle, but some disadvantages will cause its morale to collapse.

Compared with the shogunate army, it is far inferior.

The main population these days is people who have fled to Haigi Island after the national lockdown, just to survive. The Coral Palace Guards were reorganized and recruited these people.

Those responsible for training these new recruits to the Sea Army were mainly the former Coral Palace Guards, and the majority of them were believers in the Snake God.

So far, these newly expanded Haiji troops have only received certain military training, and their ideological state has not changed.

They all came from areas under the rule of the shogunate and had no interest in worshipping snake gods.

Quite a number of people have not yet settled down on Haigi Island. Their family members and friends may still be living in refugee camps and have no sense of belonging to Haigi Island.

It’s no wonder they just live a lazy life.

Therefore, it is difficult to describe the current thoughts within the Haiqi Army.

It is difficult to expect such an army to defeat the shogunate army.

The shogunate army was relatively pure, and their ideology was unified in their belief in Mingshen and their obedience to the command of Tenryo Bugyo.

Moreover, as the shogunate army is now the sword in Kujo Takayuki's hand, Kujo Takayuki still cares about it very much.

No matter how hard it is, we cannot let the shogunate army suffer.

The only force that can be directly compared with the Shogunate Army in terms of quality is the former Coral Palace Guard.
