A Weird Theater That Started In London

Vol 9 Chapter 61: funny soul (everyday)

The latest website: social field and boredom equated?

Soon, Lu Li retracted his previous opinion, because two men appeared.

The two gentlemen looked a little slender, one was taller and the other was shorter, but they were both in good spirits. At this moment, they were giving speeches in the corner of the banquet.

"I think it would be enough to criticize one shortcoming of modern society: that is, if the state of industrial development forever is as we have observed, more than 90 percent of wealth is actually created by workers, but They live a very poor life..."

"This is different from slavery and serfdom. People don't have an inch of their own land, they don't have rooms, and they don't have valuable belongings."

Unlike other corners, where the most fashionable topics are talked about and bad jokes are told, here is a sensitive topic that is extremely contradictory to the occasion:

People, workers, wealth distribution.

Due to Lu Li's stop, Pan Ming was also attracted, he was stunned for a few seconds, and said solemnly:

"Before traveling through time and space and returning to the early morning of that day, I saw them at a night market in the East District."

"What are they doing there?" Lu Li was curious, he was very interested in these two men.

To be honest, everyone understands the big truth, especially the actors who have experienced the "relative fairness" of the social environment, but they can't say these words, because it requires personal experience and profound cultural background.

"Eating eel soup while criticizing social injustice, I hope politicians will change their campaign slogans from 'Wake up, England' to 'Be full, England'."

After Pan Minglue recalled, he added: "I think the reason why these two people dine in the East District is to collect relevant information through actual contact."

Forgive Lu Li's ignorance, the two mentors in his mind were not British, and he didn't know what great men had come out of this country.

And the speeches continued.

Harrison said in a non-excited voice: "If modern society will always remain in this state, it is better to let civilization stagnate and curse those who are corpse."

pop... pop... pop...

The applause was sparse.

Aside from Lu Li and Pan Ming, the only people who were willing to stop and listen to this speech were three noble youths. They had a contemplative look on their faces. It was probably the first time they had heard of this situation.

According to the gentleman in front of me, more than half a million families live in hell—

Men can't find jobs and can only seek solace in pubs, while women struggle, boys become criminals, and girls live on the streets.

It is unimaginable that in the center of Christ's world, when the industrial revolution brought high prosperity today, there will be so many refugees, even less than the primitive people of thousands of years ago.

"Can you provide some support for your speech?"

A young man with a red hand emblem on his chest couldn't help but speak out. After he finished speaking, he added: "Of course, I will go to the east to see after the incident."

"Before you go, you'd better change your clothes, so that you can see the real side of the city, you can go to the Whitechapel area, which is the most typical, but the residents of Hoxton, Bethnal Green and other areas, the same Live a dark life."

Harrison smiled. He felt that it was not in vain this time. He took out a blank piece of paper from his arms, looked around at the audience standing around him, and opened it to read.

"This is the number of urban deaths in the first three quarters of this year, and the data will only be less, never more."

"The identity and burial place of each deceased are traceable, and Jones and I will confirm with our own eyes and record them in the file."

Jones?

Lu Li looked at the man with a sickly pale face next to him. He noticed that someone was looking at him, and immediately returned a modest smile.

"For nine months, the annual death toll in the fog city was 91,951, with a large number of them dying in the following places:

41,509 people in the almshouse

2559 people in the hospital

5,278 people in the lunatic asylum

More than two-thirds of people died in public relief places, so the data is very clear, and it can also reflect a problem. More people at the bottom who are not eligible to enter are dying at an alarming rate. "

"According to my estimates, the annual mortality rate of workers is 1200,000, one in 2,000 workers is completely incapacitated, and one in 250 workers is permanently partially disabled. Yes, one in six workers will be temporarily disabled for three or four weeks."

Speaking of this, there is no need to say more. After the banquet is over, you can go to the East District to find out, especially those relief centers.

Premise: Three noble youths are willing to investigate.

Lu Li and Pan Ming are not included in this list. They have enjoyed the prosperity and tranquility of the West District, and they have also stopped and observed in the East District. They are convinced of this statement.

"If what you say is true, then the Eastern District is a bloodier place than the battlefield."

"Your speech is really shocking, I have to slow down for a while, excuse me."

"Can we exchange business cards? I want to find a time to continue chatting with the two of you."

The three young people need time to verify and accept this cruel fact.

Soon, two business cards were handed to Lu Li and Pan Ming.

[Frederick Harrison, Professor of Law, University of London]

[Ernest Jones, writer]

There is not much introduction on the card.

Of course, the same goes for Lu Li's business card, which only has two titles.

[Lu Li, General Practitioner, Senior Criminal Consultant at Scotland Yard]

Of course, personal contact information is attached above.

"Can we chat?"

Pan Ming sent an invitation.

"Why not? People who are willing to stay away from food and wine are worthy of admiration."

Jones, who has been silent all the time, seems to be the leader. After seeing his agreement, Harrison also walked to a more secluded corner with a glass of wine.

Although he tried his best to avoid it, the actions just now still attracted the attention of the Royal Guard, and someone was trying to approach and eavesdrop on the conversation.

However, with the reduction in the number of guards, the guards will no longer be entangled. After all, those who can participate in the palace banquet are either rich or expensive, or have a good influence, as long as they do not assassinate the princess and do some disrespectful things, Do anything.

Next, the four began to talk.

"I've been to the Eastern District, where there are very few people over the age of 30. It's hard to imagine this is the Chengping period."

"Chengping? War is far less cruel than a sweatshop. Just like men, women, children and infants will die tragically."

With some probing, the topics between each other became more and more dangerous, and it could almost be said that they were completely contrary to the existing law.

In addition, Harrison, the legal expert, is significantly more talkative. He looks calm and has the same tone, but when it comes to the people of the East Side, there is always something to say.

Like... a flame covered in thin ice.
