Douluo See You For a Long Time

Chapter 1,612 Reputation, National Destiny, Law

Jizhen gave the task of building credibility to Zhao Mingyi. He didn't have much money, but it was enough for the time being. So Zhao Mingyi started to buy special products in the city under the pretext of getting lost in the sandstorm and opening up a trade route.

These special products had no actual value. Excluding the transportation cost, they could be transported to Xingguan City for sale at most without losing money. However, this was a process of building credibility. It took two or three purchases, or even someone walking along this trade route in person, to gain enough trust.

"Are you sure you can pay? This is higher than the price offered by the city lord!" Someone came back from collecting herbs and saw Zhao Mingyi buying herbs. He didn't trust him very much.

Crash!

A bag of silver and copper coins was poured onto the table. Before everyone showed their greedy eyes, a knife was nailed to the table, dispelling everyone's bad thoughts.

There were no soul masters present, and soul masters would not be willing to stay in a ghost place like Ketian City, so the force deterrence brought by a sharp machete was enough.

Real gold and silver are the best guarantee of credibility in this era of superstition about precious metals. Zhao Mingyi remembered what Ji Zhen said to him.

"For a country, currency actually represents the credibility of the country, and it is also what we need to obtain now. It seems that you don't understand it very well.

Then think about it 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 currency is issued by the country. In contrast, if copper coins of the same size are casino chips, would 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 in daily life is not just money, it is also a kind of commodity.

Gold, silver, and copper are also valuable in themselves. Our country does not have enough credibility to make us believe that the currency it issues can buy things, so the nobles cleverly thought that they could use an item that has a certain value as currency to make us believe in its value.

Now you should understand why Why someone who uses real gold and silver to cast counterfeit coins will still be sanctioned by the country! Because he only paid the value of the gold, silver and copper goods in the currency, and stole part of the country's reputation.

You should know that the more remote and the smaller the country, the more hard currency gold and silver are, because their credibility is insufficient and they rely more on the value of gold and silver. In other words, if the country's credibility is sufficient, it can use toilet paper 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 establish our own credibility, we must rely on the credibility of the country. We must let others know that we hold a lot of national credibility in our hands, and then let them gradually believe in our own credibility. "Zhao Mingyi is still very troubled, 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 they can benefit from working for them, so they have the power to command these people to do things, and the more people believe in them, the stronger the trust, and the greater the things they can do.

Zhao Mingyi had imagined that he was born a noble and could inherit the power of ruling when he came of age. In the past, such scenes often made him laugh in his dreams, but now recalling that power, such power that lacked control and did not have enough credibility, seemed to be less attractive.

On the contrary, the power that was right in front of him, using the country's credibility to bind himself, and obtaining a little power to order others to do things, made him extremely intoxicated. This was the power that could really be grasped in his hands!

After dispersing the gold and silver in the bag, Zhao Mingyi also successfully pulled up a caravan. Ji Zhen went back and forth in the desert, and the wealth he brought back was like an adventurer who brought back gold and silver from the New World. It brought them a lot of credibility and organized a larger voyage.

This time, they needed 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 manifestation of credibility.

However, Ji Zhen, who was not a soul master himself, did not realize the influence of the extraordinary power of this world on his own theory during this deduction, so he named his caravan the Sandstorm Group.

This mistake caused his power to suffer a great loss in the process of development, so that it was almost impossible to expand its power overseas.

Because in this world, in addition to the country's name, national flag, national emblem, and national anthem, the existence of extraordinary power also gave birth to a more concrete national reputation... national destiny!

Although the rules of the world are different, Chengying had come into contact with national destiny in the past. In Tulip, national destiny, like faith, involves the underlying logic of some soul power. Fortunately, Chengying relied on national destiny to protect his body and avoided being assassinated by the gods in the early stage.

Since the extraordinary power can visualize national destiny, it means that the country name cannot be taken randomly...

However, the current Sandstorm Group is still a long way from this step, so everyone thinks that this name is very appropriate. It is reasonable for a caravan to shuttle between sandstorms!

This time, the number of people in the team reached fifty, because they had goods to transport. Jizhen didn't say much along the way, but he always took everyone away from danger.

Zhao Mingyi had a strange feeling. He felt that credibility was flowing toward Ji Zhen. Although he couldn't see or touch it, he just had this intuition.

At the same time, Ji Zhen was also thinking: "Why do I feel that credibility has begun to focus on me? It seems that the emperor of the country is also like this. They almost represent most of the credibility of the country, but why is this?

How did they do it? How did he steal the country's credibility to himself?

How did I once view the Emperor? Is it the Xingguan clan of the Star Luo Empire... That is an ancient bloodline. One of the six great spirits that was once engraved on the emblem of the Spirit Hall, it is a sacred bloodline that can give birth to a soul master in every generation...

Hmm...holy blood! That's it. Not only the emperor, but every soul master family is also emphasizing this point, emphasizing the sanctity of their own bloodline.

Pure-blood soul masters are indeed very powerful, but this power is not enough for them to be a minority, superior to the majority, or even many soul masters. In other words, sanctity is the key, and they emphasize their uniqueness. different.

But why do they do this? What is the purpose of emphasizing one’s own holiness? Um? It seems to be to make people admit that the whole world is not the land of the king. If the emperor is also a mortal, why should he own the world?

So they are actually using this kind of lie to strengthen their ownership of the means of production. In other words, mastering the means of production is almost equivalent to mastering the country's credibility?

Do I have to do the same? No... I'm not even a soul master. Even if someone believes that I have some otherworldly abilities, it would be difficult for them to recognize that my blood is sacred.

Therefore, I cannot use noble blood as a reason to control the means of production and thereby control the country's credibility.

Even if I could do it, this kind of lie is too clumsy. All it takes is for the meanest slave to cut off my head with a knife to prove that I am no different from mortals and thus destroy this sacredness.

Gu Nai: So how should I ensure that the fact that I own the means of production is taken for granted? There must be a reason! "

Ji Zhen started to have a headache again. He felt that something was disturbing his thinking. He was obviously about to think of something soon.

Spirit world……

William's brows knitted into a tritium shape. He could interrupt Ji Zhen's train of thought once, but he couldn't interrupt it forever. Douluo's social system was not suitable for progress, and the classical turdism of the feudal system could also break out. For example, the battles for hegemony during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period often involved tens of thousands of soldiers fighting. The land area was not much larger than that of the mud-legged Europeans in the Middle Ages, but the scale of the battle was vastly different from that of medieval wars like village fighting.

As the social system progresses, the proletarians will be involuntarily attracted to the Party of Order, which has established a public ownership system, which is equivalent to sending people to the opposite side.

In contrast, although the productivity of the classical mushroom pot doctrine 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 will be no huge generational differences in technology and support the conservative forces. There is still war to be fought.

But if Ji Zhen realizes the sanctity of the bourgeoisie, then with this guy's trouble-making ability, big problems will arise.

If Ji Zhen continues to deduce, he will understand that if he wants to be like a king and have the means of production as a matter of course, what he needs is not to be ordered by heaven, not to have the power of kings granted by God, but to have the peace of princes and generals, and the equality of all people with natural rights and human rights. , Private property is sacrosanct!

Why does the bourgeois revolution advocate equality for all? That is naturally to oppose the divine right of kings. If the king owns the land as a matter of course, then the rights of the wealthy people will not be protected. They are like businessmen in ancient China. When officials are short of money, they can use it. Killed as a pig.

In order to avoid this situation, they want to promote equality for everyone and bring more ignorant civilians to resist the rule of feudal aristocrats.

And why do they preach the sanctity of private property? Because they themselves have the most private property, they own factories, railways, machines, these new era means of production. As long as private property is sacred and inviolable, they can reasonably occupy a large number of means of production.

Then rely on their own means of production to reproduce and earn more wealth, just like feudal landlords annexing land, exploiting the wealth of workers, and eventually becoming a trust, controlling most of the means of production, and owning and Imperial power.

Equality for all is advanced, but when capitalists advocate equality for everyone, it is for better exploitation, not because they really want to be equal to the proletariat, but just to tear off the last fig leaf of the feudal aristocracy.

Ji Zhen had already thought of this step, but was forcibly interrupted, making it impossible for him to continue thinking. Even so, his next actions would not be greatly affected.

The first round of business operations was over, and Jizhen barely managed to avoid losing 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?" Jizhen asked Li Er.

"There is no big problem for now. The factory management was originally planning to lower our salary, but after you brought the new people here, they immediately stopped mentioning 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 little problem. Wang Sancheng and Liu Dong got into a fight over where they were eating, but we quickly stopped them. No one was hurt, 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 was normal for a group of men to fight together.

"Well...isn't it an irreconcilable conflict? I understand. I will 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 the country, are laws, and we also need laws. There must be laws from the beginning so that people can develop habits.

But why are there laws and why should we abide by them?

Thinking from my own point of view, it is easy to understand why we should abide by the law, because there is suppression by violent agencies, and breaking the law will be punished.

But what is the meaning of the existence of law? Is it to manage us? However, vested interests still have to abide by the law. Maybe the law is much more relaxed for them, but the nobles cannot kill people casually, and they must pay compensation after killing.

From the most intuitive point of view, the purpose of law is to maintain social stability, so that exploited people can concentrate on production, making exploitation more convenient.

But why do I think it shouldn’t be like this? If it were just like this, before the vested interests had absolute superiority in force, the lower classes would be unwilling to abide by the law. But the law has a very long history. Why did people obey it at that time? What about legal ones?

I need this kind of reason. I don't have absolute force. If I want them to abide by the laws I set, I need a reason for them to obey voluntarily.

Since the law is extremely ancient, I should speculate from ancient situations.

In ancient times, humans had to unite and form groups in order to survive the siege of harsh spirit beasts.

There is no law at this time, but there should already be some agreed-upon rules. Why were these rules born?

Because without these rules, there is no way to survive. Survival is the greatest benefit, so in order to benefit, everyone must abide by the rules that are conducive to survival.

Therefore, the origin of law should also be like this. People in the wilderness gathered together to form a country, but the country must have order to exist, and only those who gathered can survive, so they agreed on the first and most primitive ……law! "
