The Defeated Dragon

Chapter 147: Sociology

But any civilian who works outside the fields and is of a technical nature is called a craftsman.

Civilians among craftsmen, relying on their skills to run their own shops, can be called handicraftsmen. So most handicraftsmen are free people, and most craftsmen are serfs.

It is Lester's understanding that these people will become bourgeoisie if they develop over time and operate alone. However, through his knowledge of different worlds of society, it was temporarily impossible for artisans to evolve into capitalists, and nobility would not allow it.

If you refer to medieval Europe on Earth.

Handicraftsmen who master production materials either accumulate them and evolve into capitalists as the industrial revolution progresses, or lose them and become workers.

Here, the craftsman has been around for a very, very long time, and the craftsman.

There are no capitalists, there are no large numbers of workers, how they develop, they are noble subordinates - fighting cultivation, absolute disparities in individual strength, so that noble knights can firmly grasp all power without fear of being revolutionized by the new class.

Of course, the development of the artisan class, more or less, is different across countries and cities.

There is no fixed hierarchy.

Lister briefly summed it up himself.

Craftsmen can probably be divided into four levels: "home”, “division”, “craftsman” and “worker”.

Master - Technician, Master.

This class of craftsmen, who generally live in large cities, are free people of high status and have reached the level of small nobility.

Architects, shipbuilders, car builders, goldsmiths, jewellers, casters, drillers, etc. are among the top craftsmen in all walks of life.

Architects are responsible for the construction of castles, large buildings, magician towers, etc.; shipbuilders are responsible for the design and construction of boats; builders are responsible for the production of carriages, minerals, chariots; goldsmiths are responsible for the construction of gold coins, silver coins, copper plates and even dragon coins; jewellery masters are responsible for designing prestigious jewellery, carving crystals, jade stones and even gemstones.

The caster can manufacture a variety of fine equipment, and the driller can drill wells.

On Coral Island, there are only architects, shipbuilders, car builders, casters, and no goldsmiths, jewellers and drillers.

Craftsman - Craftsman.

This level of craftsman is the backbone of the craftsmen, the most basic class of all major cities, full of all walks of life, the cornerstone of the prosperity of cities and territories, most of whom are free people, can choose to run shops or sell crafts.

Masons, carpenters, blacksmiths, leather craftsmen and tailors are the five most basic trades of craftsmen and the five most numerous industries.

Masonry construction, carpentry production furniture, blacksmith building tools, leather tanning, tailoring to make clothes.

In addition, bonesmiths, papermakers (thick leather paper), locksmiths, shoemakers, drummers, crystal artisans, jewelers, gemstoners, jade stone artisans, soap makers, winemakers, bakers, barbers, chefs, sugar makers, spicers, salt makers are all at the artisan level.

Worker, worker.

This level of craftsman, also a stronghold among craftsmen, is present on a large scale in the Lord's estate. Most of them are serfs, almost indistinguishable from farmers who farm their land, only in slightly skilled jobs.

Embroiderers, spinners, dyers, salters, sugar workers, grinders, miners, sailors, seafarers, handymen, etc., are all workers.

In addition, businessmen like hotel owners, small traders, grocery store owners, horse traders, who do not possess crafts, but are responsible for the circulation of crafts, generally in the same position as craftsmen, that is, ordinary free people.

Last.

Home, everybody.

This level, basically not a craftsman, should be called an artist.

The novelist, bard, pianist, painter, court musician, sculptor, singer, etc., most of whom are aristocratic classes and have no title to inherit, develop their own artistic cells, wander amongst the aristocracy and enjoy a high quality of life.

If you have to continue to define, magicians who make magic equipment, “iron knights” who build weapons of all kinds, are also craftsmen.

But they are either outside the system or noble.

“No technician, few craftsmen, mostly workers, feel that the money spent is a bit of a loss. ”

Looking at the thick list of paper in his hand, Lester unfortunately thought that what he wanted was actually a craftsman, but the serfs he bought were basically workers.

Obviously, the craftsmen were chosen by others, or Levi's men were only willing to buy cheap craftsmen - in the slave trade, the price of a craftsman was obviously a little more expensive than a worker, let alone a mechanic. Nobody sells technicians, craftsmen, workers, farmers at a price.

“In any case, there are skilled workers who can barely add several more industries to the town… I can make my own sugar, make soap, weave, even salt from the sea, make paper from grass, or develop other industries.” Lester's comfort is not a comfort, a skilled worker, or valuable.

Let Thomas bring a goose pen, ink, and blank thick paper, and he starts writing.

He was going to add up and see how many more workshops the craftsmen could develop for the small town's workshop area. But it says here that he went from handicrafts to social systems.

“I could be a sociologist if I wanted to! ”

He categorized the social systems of different worlds as a whole.

The upper echelons of society - noble lords.

Upper-middle - Magicians pursuing truth, untitled officials, knights, and indispensable artists.

Mid-level - Mastering a technician who cannot substitute for skill, the Lost Knight acts as a mercenary.

Middle and lower levels - servants in castles, craftsmen in production techniques, merchants in circulation, workers of hard work, rats walking in the shadows.

Bottom of society - farm serfs, beggars who have not even mixed serfs.

“Clear and straightforward.” He bit a large bite of the flesh of warcraft and chewed down his stomach, "and if I could elaborate further, the responsibilities of each social class in society, and the mobility of the class, I would probably be able to create a great sociological book and write a book. ”

It was just an idea that he had not yet fallen to the point where he needed to earn his living by writing books, which were the work of the descendants of the depraved aristocracy.

Besides, sociological works can't be sold.

The Knight Novel has to be written.

Dragon slaughter, deed Elf King.

It is best to start off with a desolate prince, with a Pokémon, romantic night at sea with a singer, passing through the Marquis Manor and the lady, single-handedly slaughtering an evil dragon, or riding a dragon, the Pokémon then breaks into the Pokémon King.

Eventually, the hero saves the beauty and marries a beautiful princess recognized by the unicorn.

With these elements, basically a best-selling Knight novel, young people who love fantasy are very willing to pay for it.

Finish your breakfast.

Lester put away the thick paper he wrote and looked out the window at the rising sun: "When Granny arrives, maybe I can talk to him about sociology. ”
