Douluo See You For a Long Time
Chapter 1612: Reputation, National Fortune, Law
The matter of establishing credibility, Jizhen handed over to Zhao Mingyi. His money is not much, but it is enough for the time being. So Zhao Mingyi started to buy special products in the city in the name of getting lost in the sandstorm and opening a trade route.
This part of the specialty has no real value. Excluding the transportation cost, it can be shipped to Xingguan City for sale without losing money at most, but this is a process of establishing credibility, requiring two or three acquisitions, and even someone who has personally walked through this process. Only after the trade route can you gain enough trust.
"Are you sure you can give money? This is higher than the price offered by the city lord!" Someone returned from collecting herbs and saw Zhao Mingyi, who had purchased herbs, and did not trust his words very much.
Whoa!
A bag of silver and copper coins was poured on the table, and before everyone showed their greedy eyes, a knife was also nailed to the table, dispelling everyone's bad thoughts.
There is no soul master present, and the soul master will not be willing to stay in a ghostly place like Ketian City, so the force deterrence brought by a sharp machete is enough.
Real gold and silver are the best guarantee of credibility in this era of superstitious belief in precious metals. Zhao Mingyi remembered what Jizhen said to himself.
"For a country, the currency represents the credibility of the country, and it is what we need to get now. It seems that you don't understand very well.
Then you think from your own perspective, why do you believe that copper soul coins can buy things? After thinking about it, you will understand that it is because the currency is issued by the state. In contrast, if the copper coins of the same size are the chips of the casino, will you still believe that he can buy things?
But why does the country issue copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins? You see, you have noticed that the money we use every day is not just money, it is also a kind of goods.
Gold, silver and copper are also valuable in themselves. Our country does not have enough credibility to make us believe that the currency he issues can buy things, so the nobles thought wisely that an item with a certain value in itself can be used as currency. , let us believe in his worth.
Now you should understand why someone who mints counterfeit coins with real gold and silver will still be sanctioned by the state! Because he only paid the value of the gold, silver and copper goods in the currency, and he stole part of the country's credit for nothing.
You should know that the more remote and small the country is, the more hard currency gold and silver are, because they have insufficient reputation and rely more on the value of gold and silver. In other words, if the country's reputation is sufficient, it can be used Toilet paper is used as money, because at this time money no longer needs the value of its own materials.
And we are the same now. If we want to build our own credibility, we must rely on the credibility of the country. We must let others know that we hold the credibility of a large number of countries, and then let them gradually believe in our own credibility. "
Zhao Mingyi is a big head even now, but when these people got the money and started asking him if he had any other work to do, he seemed to understand a little.
Some people believe that working for them can benefit, so they have the power to direct these people to do things, and the more people who believe in them, the stronger the trust, the greater the things they can do.
Zhao Mingyi fantasized about the scene where he was born a nobleman and could inherit the power of ruling when he was an adult. In the past, such scenes often made him laugh out of his dreams, but now he recalls that such power, such lack of control, and lack of credibility The power of protection seems to have become less attractive.
On the contrary, it is close at hand. Using the bond between the country's reputation and oneself, he has obtained very little, the right to order others to do things, and make him extremely intoxicated. This is the power that can really be grasped in his hands!
After exhausting the gold and silver in the bag, Zhao Mingyi also successfully pulled up a caravan. Jizhen went to and from the desert, and the wealth he brought back was like an adventurer who brought back gold and silver from the New World, bringing them a lot of money. Reputation, organized a bigger voyage.
This time, they need a name of their own to unite people's hearts. Reputation needs some carriers. The country name, national flag, national emblem, and national anthem are some kind of concrete representation of reputation.
It's just that Ji Zhen, who is not a soul master, did not realize the extraordinary power of this world and the influence on his theories during this deduction, so he named his business group, Sandstorm Group.
This mistake caused his power to suffer a huge loss in the process of development, so that it was almost impossible to expand his power overseas.
Because in this world, in addition to the country name, national flag, national emblem, and national anthem, the existence of extraordinary power has also nurtured a more concrete national reputation... National fortune!
Although the rules of the world are different, Chengying has been in touch with the game of national fortune in the past. On the tulip side, national fortune, like belief, involves the underlying logic of some soul power. Fortunately, Chengying relies on the national fortune to protect the body to avoid He was assassinated by the gods in the early stage.
And since the extraordinary power can concretize the fate of the country, it also means that the country name cannot be arbitrarily taken...
But today's Sandstorm Group is still a long way from this step, so everyone thinks the name is very appropriate, and the caravan that shuttles between sandstorms is very reasonable!
This time, the number of people in the team has reached fifty, because they have goods to be transported, and there are not many words on the way to Jizhen, but they can always lead everyone to avoid danger.
Zhao Mingyi has a strange feeling. He feels that the credibility is flowing towards Ji Zhen. Although he can't see it or touch it, he has such an intuition.
At the same time, Ji Jin is also thinking: "Why do I feel that the credibility has begun to focus on me? It seems that the emperor of the country is like this, they almost represent the credibility of most of the country, but why is this?
How do they do it? How did you steal the country's credibility from yourself?
What did I think of the emperor? Is it the Star Crown Clan of the Star Luo Empire... that is an ancient bloodline, one of the six martial spirits that was once engraved on the badge of the Spirit Hall, it is the sacred bloodline that can give birth to spirit masters in every generation...
Mmmm... Holy Bloodline! That's it, not only the emperor, but every soul master family is also emphasizing this point, emphasizing the sanctity of their bloodline.
Pure blood soul masters are indeed very powerful, but this power is not enough for them to surpass the majority, or even many soul masters, with a few people. That is to say, sanctity is the key, and they emphasize their own different.
But why would they do this? What is the purpose of emphasizing one's own sacredness? Um? As if to make people admit that there is no king in the world. If the emperor is also a mortal, then why does he own the world?
So they are actually using this lie to strengthen their ownership of the means of production, that is to say, mastering the means of production is almost equivalent to mastering the country's credibility?
Do I have to do this too? No... I'm not even a soul master, so even if some people believe that I have some otherworldly abilities, it's hard for me to agree that my bloodline is sacred.
So I can't use the noble blood as a reason to control the means of production, and then control the country's credibility.
Even if I could do it, this kind of lie is too clumsy, it only takes one of the most humble slaves to cut off my head with a knife to prove that I am no different from mortals, and then destroy this sanctity.
So how can I ensure that the fact that I own the means of production is taken for granted? There must be a reason! "
Ji Jin started to have a headache again, he felt that something was disturbing his thinking, and he was about to think about it soon.
Spirit world…
William's brows twisted into a tritium. He could interrupt Ji Zhen's thoughts once, but he couldn't keep interrupting. Douluo's social system was not suitable for progress, and the feudal system's classical fungus potism could also erupt For example, the battle for hegemony during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was a battle of tens of thousands of soldiers. The territory of the country was not much larger than that of the European mud-legged people in the Middle Ages.
As the social system progresses, the proletarians will involuntarily be attracted by the Party of Order, which has established a public ownership system, which is equivalent to sending people to the opposite side.
In contrast, the line of classical fungus potism, although the productivity will lag behind, the ability to mobilize the whole people is extremely strong. The use of technology theft, talent mining and other means can ensure that there is no huge generation gap in technology, and support the conservative forces. There are still fights.
But if Ji Jin realizes the sanctity of the bourgeoisie, then with this guy's ability to do things, there will be a big problem.
If Jizhen continues to deduce, he will understand that if he wants to be like a king, he wants to own the means of production as a matter of course, what he needs is not to be ordered by the sky, not to be granted by the gods, but the princes and generals. , private property is sacrosanct!
Why does the bourgeois revolution preach equality for all? That is naturally to oppose the divine right of the monarch. If the monarch owns land as it should, then the rights of the rich will not be guaranteed. They are like businessmen in ancient China. When officials are short of money, they can use it. Kill a pig.
In order to avoid this situation, they must preach equality for all, and bring more ignorant commoners to resist the rule of the feudal aristocracy.
And why do they preach the sanctity of private property? Because they themselves have the most private property, they own factories, railways, machinery, and these means of production in the new era. As long as private property is sacred and inviolable, they can reasonably possess a large number of means of production.
Then rely on their own means of production to reproduce and earn more wealth. Like feudal landlords who carry out land mergers, they exploit the wealth of laborers, and eventually become a trustee, mastering most of the means of production, so that they can own and Emperor-like power.
Equality for everyone is advanced, but the capitalists advocate equality for everyone, that is for better exploitation, not that they really want to be equal to the proletarians, just to tear down the last fig leaf of the feudal aristocracy.
Ji Zhen had already thought of this step, but was forcibly interrupted, making him unable to continue thinking. Even so, his next actions would not be affected too much.
…
The first round of business operations was over, and Jizhen barely managed to not lose any money. Eleven of the more than fifty people chose to stay and join the factory team led by Li Er.
"Have you encountered any problems?" Ji Zhen asked Li Er.
"There is no major problem for the time being. The factory manager was going to lower our treatment, but after you brought the new recruits, they immediately stopped talking about it.
Other than that... no big deal. "
"It's not a big problem, it's just a problem." Ji Zhen raised his eyebrows.
"Yes... There was a small problem. Wang Sanyu and Liu Dong had a fight because of the place to eat, but they were quickly pulled by us. No one was injured, and nothing happened after that. It was all trivial matters. "Li Er scratched his head and felt that there was no need to mention this kind of thing. It is normal for a group of men to fight together.
"Um...Isn't it some irreconcilable conflict? I see, I'll try to give you a charter tomorrow, we need some rules."
When Ji Zhen said this, he was a little absent-minded, because Li Er's description made him think of something more profound.
"Rules, for a country, are laws, we also need laws, and we must have laws from the very beginning, so that people can form a habit.
But why is there a law, and why should one obey the law?
Thinking from my own point of view, it is easy to understand why the law should be obeyed. Because of the repression by violent agencies, breaking the law will be punished.
But what is the meaning of the law? Is it to manage us? However, those with vested interests still have to abide by the law. Perhaps the law is a lot easier for them, but the nobles can't kill people casually, and they must pay compensation after killing them.
From the most intuitive point of view, the law is to maintain social stability, so that the exploited can concentrate on production and make exploitation more convenient.
But why do I think it shouldn't be like this? If it's just like this, when the vested interests have not yet occupied the absolute advantage of force, the lower class should be reluctant to obey the law. The law has a very long history. Why did people obey the law at that time?
I need this kind of reason, I don't have absolute force, if you want them to obey the law I set, you need a reason for them to obey voluntarily.
Since the law is extremely ancient, I should infer from ancient times.
In ancient times, human beings had to unite and form groups in order to survive the siege of evil spirit beasts.
There is no law at this time, but there should already be some established rules, and why are these rules born?
Because without these rules, survival cannot be maintained. Survival is the greatest benefit, so in order to benefit, everyone must abide by the rules that are conducive to survival.
So the origin of the law should also be like this. People in the wild gather together to form a country, but a country must have order in order to exist, and those who gather can survive. Therefore, they agreed on the first and most primitive …law! "
