Any commoner who is engaged in farming and has a technical nature is called a craftsman.
Commoners among craftsmen who rely on their own skills and operate their own shops can be called handicraftsmen. Therefore, most of the craftsmen are freemen, and most of the craftsmen are serfs.
In Liszt's understanding, if this group of people develops over a period of time and engages in business alone, they will become bourgeois. However, through his understanding of the society of the other world, it is temporarily impossible for a craftsman to evolve into a capitalist, and the nobles will not allow it.
If you refer to medieval Europe on Earth.
With the progress of the industrial revolution, handicraftsmen who master the means of production either accumulate the means of production and evolve into capitalists; or lose the means of production and become workers.
Here, the craftsman has been around for a long, long time, and is still a craftsman.
There are no capitalists, and there are no large numbers of workers. No matter how they develop, they are all vassals of the nobles. The absolute difference in individual strength allows the noble knights to firmly grasp all the power without fear of being attacked by the new class. revolution.
Of course, the development of the artisan class is more or less different in different countries and different cities.
There is no fixed hierarchy.
Liszt himself summed it up briefly.
Craftsmen can be roughly divided into four levels: "family", "teacher", "craftsman" and "worker".
Division - technician, master.
Craftsmen of this level generally live in big cities. They are all free citizens with high status and status, and have reached the level of minor nobles.
For example, architects, shipbuilders, car builders, goldsmiths, jewelry masters, foundries, drillers, etc., are all top craftsmen in various industries.
Architects are responsible for building castles, large buildings, mage towers, etc.; shipwrights are responsible for designing and building ships; wagonmakers are responsible for producing carriages, mine carts, and chariots; goldsmiths are responsible for making gold coins, silver coins, copper plates, and even dragon coins; master jewelers , designing precious jewelry, carving crystals, jade and even gems.
Foundry masters can make all kinds of sophisticated equipment, and drillers can dig mines.
On Coral Island, there are only architects, shipwrights, wheelwrights, and foundries, but no goldsmiths, jewelers, or well drillers.
Craftsman - craftsman.
Craftsmen of this level are the backbone of craftsmen and the most basic class in major cities. They are filled in all walks of life and are the cornerstone of the prosperity of cities and territories. Most of them are free people and can choose to operate shops. , or sell craftsmanship.
Stonemason, carpenter, blacksmith, cobbler, and tailor are the five most basic occupations of craftsmen, and they are also the five industries with the largest number of people.
A stonemason builds buildings, a carpenter makes furniture, a blacksmith makes tools, a cobbler tans leather goods, and a tailor makes clothes.
In addition, bonesmiths, papermakers (thick paper), locksmiths, shoemakers, coopers, crystal makers, jewelers, gem makers, jade makers, soap makers, brewers, bakers, barbers, cooks, sugar makers , perfumers, and salt makers are also at the craftsman level.
workers, workers.
Craftsmen of this level are also the backbone of craftsmen, but they exist in the lord's manor on a large scale. Most of them are serfs, almost no different from farmers farming, they are just engaged in slightly skilled work.
Embroiderers, spinners, dyers, salt workers, sugar workers, millers, miners, sailors, boatmen, handymen, etc., are workers.
In addition, merchants such as hotel owners, small traders, grocery store owners, and horse dealers do not have craftsmanship, but are responsible for the circulation of craftsmanship, and their status is generally equivalent to that of craftsmen, that is, ordinary free people.
at last.
home, everyone.
This level is basically not considered a craftsman, but should be called an artist.
Authors of novels, bards, pianists, painters, court musicians, sculptors, singers, etc., most of them belong to the aristocratic class and have no titles to inherit, so they developed their own artistic cells, wandering among the nobles, Enjoy a high quality of life.
If you have to continue to define, a magician who can make magic equipment and an "iron knight" who makes various weapons can also be regarded as a craftsman.
But they were either outside the system, or they were nobles.
"There are no technicians, and there are very few craftsmen. Most of them are workers. I feel that the money spent is a bit of a loss."
Looking at the cardboard list in his hand, Liszt regretted that what he wanted was actually craftsmen, but most of the serfs he bought were workers.
Obviously, these craftsmen are left over from other people’s picks, or in other words, Levi’s subordinates are only willing to buy cheap craftsmen—in the serf trade, the price of a craftsman is obviously a little more expensive than a worker, even more so. Not to mention technicians. No one will sell technicians, craftsmen, workers and farmers at the same price.
"Anyway, there are a group of skilled workers who can barely add a few industries to Huahua Town... I can make sugar, soap, weave cloth, even seawater salt, indigenous papermaking, or develop other industries." Li Si It is not consolation to comfort myself, skilled workers are still very valuable.
Telling Thomas to fetch a quill, ink, and blank thick paper, he began to write and draw.
He was going to add up to see how many industries these craftsmen could develop and how many workshops they could add to the workshop area of the town. But as he wrote, he developed from the handicraft industry to the study of the social system.
"I could be a sociologist if I wanted to!"
He categorized the social systems of the other world.
The upper class of society - noble lords.
Upper-middle class—magicians who pursue truth, officials without titles, knights, and indispensable artists.
Middle-middle level—a technician who masters irreplaceable skills, and a mercenary who acts as a down-and-out knight.
The middle and lower classes—the servants in the castle, the artisans who produce technology, the merchants who distribute goods, the workers who work as coolies, and the mice who walk in the dark.
The bottom of society—serfs who farmed the fields, beggars who didn't even mix with serfs.
"It's very clear and clear at a glance." He took a big bite of the Warcraft meat, chewed and swallowed, "If I can further elaborate on the responsibilities of each social class in society and the mobility of the class, I can probably create a novel. This sociological masterpiece has been published."
This is just an idea, he has not been reduced to the point where he needs to earn living expenses by writing books, which is something that only the children of poor nobles can do.
Moreover, sociological works cannot be sold.
To write a book is to write a chivalrous novel.
To slay the dragon, to contract the Elf King.
The best start is a down-and-out prince, with an elf, wandering on the sea for a night of romance with the song monster, passing through the marquis' manor and having a romantic relationship with the noble lady for a few days, killing an evil dragon by himself, or riding With a dragon, the elf broke through to become the elf king.
In the end, the hero saves the beauty and marries the beautiful princess recognized by the unicorn.
With these elements, it is basically a best-selling knight novel, and those young people who love fantasy are very willing to pay for it.
finish breakfast.
Liszt put away the cardboard he had written on, and looked at the rising sun outside the window: "When Granny arrives, maybe I can discuss sociology with him."
