Chapter 1379 Rich and Rich

However, in Zeng Yunfeng's view, these treasures made of gold and silver are not real wealth. The so-called real wealth is something that can improve the world born from people's hands. Those are wealth, such as knowledge, experience, and strength.

And these gold and silver are nothing in front of knowledge, experience, and strength, and only with the blessing of knowledge, experience, and strength, these gold and silver have their meaning, otherwise they are just minerals lying on this planet, without any sense.

People can use shells as currency at the beginning, and paper as currency in the future. Gold and silver are just a kind of decoration that looks good. Can it be called wealth?

Under the constraints of the system and order, gold and silver can begin to play the role that people have entrusted to it.

But in fact, these things are just piled up on the ground. If gold and silver are flooded, they will also be worthless.

Anything that circulates in large quantities in the world is definitely not precious.

If one day a comet flies from the sky and falls on the earth, and that comet is full of gold, or if gold and silver are replaced by a new substance, then the currency established by gold and silver on this planet The system will be completely broken, and the value of gold will be thrown far away, like the sand on the beach.

This thing can neither be eaten nor drunk, but only to satisfy people's fantasies, and everything that gold and silver represent is also given to them. Of course, in the eyes of these sailors, everything is different.

In their world, gold and silver represent everything, and it can be exchanged for land, food, beauties, and even everything.

This is why those in power in various countries must control gold and silver in their own hands.

With these things, they can exchange the efforts of everyone. They can exchange gold and silver for the grain produced by the farmers, for the horses, cattle and sheep in the hands of the herdsmen, and for a boat built by the shipbuilders. giant ship.

With these things, these people in power have changed the world time and time again behind their backs, but the wealth they really possess is knowledge, experience, and power.

The rich and the rich are completely two concepts. Human beings have always been an organized social group. Pirates want to get everything they want in this society, not relying entirely on gold and silver, but on the Those who occupy a dominant position in this social group must even reach the stage where they can control the resources in this society, otherwise they will never be able to get on the stage.

The degree of wealth depends on the proportion of resources that can be controlled in this society, whether it is manpower or knowledge, it is one of them.

When a person breaks away from the human social group, even if they have the most gold and silver in the world, it is just like spending the rest of their lives on a deserted island.

It is impossible for people to turn these gold and silver into things that can be drunk and eaten, and even beautiful women will never be satisfied with happiness.

Exchange is the true meaning of the existence of these gold and silver. If exchange is missing, then all commodities can no longer be given value, and the same is true for gold and silver.

And these people would never think of this kind of thing, which is why many so-called English elites hate dealing with these pirates who have no knowledge but only want to pursue treasure and kill at will.

From the beginning of the world to the use of tools by humans, from the birth of exchange to the transformation of general equivalents, the meaning of many things is changing.

All social systems and the definition of wealth have also undergone tremendous changes.

Those things at the beginning have now been given different meanings.

If you only see the appearance, you will always be confused by the appearance.

Why do those great families and the monarchs of various countries value talents and the rights he can use, because all of these are a kind of power used to dominate social resources.

And these gold and silver are just a medium in the process of social resource allocation. This medium can be gold and silver today, but it may become a diamond tomorrow, and it may become a piece of paper the day after tomorrow.

Zeng Yunfeng looked at these pirates with pity in his eyes!That's right, it's pity, and countless people have been fooled like this.

Countless people have worked hard all their lives to obtain wealth, but they are just some gold and silver exchanged from the hands of rich people.

The rich use these gold and silver to exchange everything, even life, of other people, and the people who define these gold and silver are the people who can be rich forever from generation to generation.

And what these people can get after hard work all their lives is gold coins, silver coins and utensils made of these gold and silver.

Isn't that sad to say?Once these gold and silver reach the real critical moment, they can't play anything.

Zeng Yunfeng has seen too many such things. When the famine comes, food is in the hands of the rich; Waiting for death with gold and silver.

Just like at this moment, Zeng Yunfeng holds the right to sail the boat, and only he, the black Buddy and Grace Allen can take these people away from the island of death.

At this time, Zeng Yunfeng has the right to control the social resources in the hands of this group of people, and this power is the biggest bargaining chip in Zeng Yunfeng's hands, and he can own all the so-called wealth on this island at any time. Now.

What Zeng Yunfeng wants more is a group of sailors who follow him loyally, not sailors who follow him because of money and treasures and may betray him at any time.

Today they can turn against themselves because of these gold and silver, and of course they can do it for their lives in the future. Jack Sparrow should be well aware of this kind of betrayal.

Similarly, Zeng Yunfeng wanted to travel across the seven seas to pursue a trace of curiosity in his heart, and he couldn't do without a helper.

And the red-eyed pirates in front of them, whose greed was already overflowing from their bodies, were definitely not Zeng Yunfeng's ideal candidates.

With a bang, the black Buddy pulled out his musket and fired it into the sky.

"Start choosing now, either choose what you want according to the captain's wishes, take what you can move, and leave with us, or you will have everything on this island."

"After we leave, you can even establish a kingdom on this island."

After the black Buddy finished speaking, the pirates came to their senses. All the wealth in front of them was nothing but vain. After leaving the human society, these treasures would become meaningless.

When freedom is lost and completely isolated from human society, these gold and silver will become meaningless at all.

But many people have not recovered. What they are afraid of is the gun in the hands of the black Buddy, and even the reputation of Roy Smith.

A large part of the reason why they were willing to obey orders was because of Zeng Yunfeng's dominance. They all muttered, cursing while picking up all kinds of gold and silver treasures in their arms.
