Chapter 40 Money, This Thing! (4)

"Let money appear in this world of thousands of flowers?" This topic makes people gasp.

"How is it? Isn't this topic very interesting?" Wu Qianzi's tone was filled with excitement. This teacher always has a feeling of watching the excitement and not being afraid of big things.

"The rules of the game, no no, the rules of our course are as follows: You complete the tasks in groups. In order to prevent you from interfering with each other, the three of you groups will enter the same time and space, led by your respective guides. .Which group first makes the rules of money appear in Wanhua World, which group will automatically return to me, understand?"

Can time and space be divided here?Wan Shiyuan is really a very powerful magic weapon of space!

In an instant, Lin Hua and Su Lin's third group found that the steps by the fountain were still the same, but only the five members of their group and Shan were left.Shan stood up, lightly brushed the dust from behind the hem of his skirt, and said to the five children, "How about it? You guys continue to think about how to complete the task here, or should we go for a stroll?"

"What's the point of this task?" Lin Hua stood up and questioned, because he didn't pay much attention to money since he was a child, not only because he came from a family with no worries about food and clothing, but also because Lin Hua practiced martial arts since childhood, all his thoughts It's all about martial arts and the art of war, and the material needs for food and clothing are not high, which is very rare among the children of the aristocratic family.

"Perhaps, it is to educate us to understand the world more!" Su Lin thought about it.

"Yes, money is the most important thing in many people's lives. The reason why we don't pay attention to it is because there is nothing missing. I think back then, when I was at Youjia in Jiangnan, it really was." Youyue said as if Seeing the former self is like looking at someone else, a little strange.

"I understand what money is." Ren Tianfei said slowly, "When I was very young, my father died, and it was my mother who earned a meager amount of money to support my sister and me by washing clothes for people and sewing. At that time, it was really because we would go hungry without money, so money is very important! Although dreams and ambitions are also very important, but without money, you can’t live, and you have nothing else.”

Shan looked at Ren Tianfei indifferently, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

"When I was young, I looked at my exhausted mother and thought that I must earn more money when I grow up! Speaking of earning money, in fact, what I want is not money, but money that can buy my mother and sister a comfortable and happy life. I think Let them live better! It’s a pity that my ability to earn money is average, and I always need to spend more time and energy to earn a little more money.”

"The reason why I was admitted to Yunshang College at the age of 40 is actually because my mother passed away last year, and my sister is already married and living a stable life, so I want to do something that belongs to me." Ren Tianfei rarely spoke so many words at once, and he was a little moved while speaking.

"Actually, I think this world of thousands of flowers does not have the concept of money, what a happy thing!" Ren Tianfei looked up at Shan, "You live in an utopia where there is no need to fight, and there is no pain of hunger and cold. You don't need money at all!"

Shan smiled, "Yes, our Wanhua World is an ideal country. There is no money here, so there is no transaction. People here don't need to exchange anything. Everyone is doing their own thing, some grow food, some Some make clothes, some sing, some compose poems, everyone has their own place, we can take what we need, there is no need to exchange, everything is abundant. So, you should think about how to solve your problems Bar!"

"Then how did money appear in our world?" Xuan Yi asked, "Actually, before I was ten years old, I lived in seclusion with my parents in a mountain, and I had never seen money before returning to Xuan's house with my grandfather." .This course is really difficult for me!"

"Living in seclusion in the mountains? Then how do you live?" Yu Yue asked curiously.

"My parents built their own houses, grew food and vegetables, and picked fruits to eat. My father would occasionally take some fruits to distant villages to exchange some clothes, pens, inks, papers and inkstones with the villagers. My father taught me to read and write since I was a child, and those books also My father memorized it all by himself and wrote it down for me to read. We don’t seem to need anything else, by the way, my mother can make flutes herself, and she likes to play flutes very much. It seems that we really don’t need money for our lives.” Xuan Yi carefully recalled his childhood which was different from others.

"Money, at the beginning, was produced in the era of material scarcity. There was a little surplus. Some people had a surplus of food, some had a surplus of silkworm cloth, and some had some surplus labor. Then when everyone exchanged , need to have a fixed medium. In the beginning, some shellfish should be used. Later, because the shells are of different sizes and easy to be damaged, after the invention of metal forging, people began to use the same shape of metal as coins. , used for the exchange between things.” Su Lin explained the question raised by Xuan Yi at the beginning.

"Then in this world of thousands of flowers, everything is rich and there is no need for exchange. How can money appear?" Xuan Yi was at a loss for this difficult topic.

"Then the only way is to break their current balance!" Lin Hua said slowly while squatting on a step with her back to everyone.

The first group, Colorful flapped its wings and flew around. After a long time, it landed and stood on the edge of the fountain pool. While arranging its feathers, it said, "How is it? What are you thinking? How should we act?"

An Ning stood up slowly, "I remember the records in the ancient text, 'Qian, Cho Ye. Ancient field utensils. From the sound of Jin Ge'. Jin Ge actually means killing and scrambling, or it can be understood as killing and scrambling caused by wealth."

Everyone looked up at An Ning, not knowing what she wanted to say.

"The emergence of money must be when desires are greater than actual income. At the same time, it will be accompanied by contention and chaos. Before the establishment of a perfect money order, there must be a lot of fear, injustice, and even hatred. What I am thinking is that when we complete The consequences that this mission may have here.”

Colorful flew to An Ning's shoulder and patted An Ning's head affectionately with one wing, "Oh, you are such a thoughtful child, you think long-term! Then how do you complete this task?"

An Ning slowly walked to the fountain pool at the top of the steps, she stood up, turned around and looked at the streets, buildings and people in Wanhua World, "What we have to do is to put A what produces something, such as desire, dissatisfaction, unfairness, etc. Of course, these are all based on a new concept: private property. When everyone has the concept of 'my stuff' and 'your stuff' Afterwards, it will be much easier to break that stable balance. Imbalance can bring about change, and the opportunity for change is when we complete the task!"

Slowly strolling on the street with the children of the second group.

Ji Wenlong and Wu Yingzhen discussed the task with everyone, and Manifesto walked at the end of the crowd in silence.

When everyone was at a loss for what to do, the declaration suddenly said a sentence at the end: "Let this place change from abundance to scarcity, and then everyone will start to compete, and at the same time, use robbery and stealing to break the trust established between people." At this time, currency money that can be circulated can be produced.”

Everyone turned their heads to look at the declaration, walked over slowly, looked at the declaration and asked, "You mean, to start doing evil?"
