Chapter 174 [173] A single surname

There are only a dozen days until New Years Eve, Recovery Day.

The festive flavors of the balanced cities are already strong.

The system of supply and marketing cooperatives and contribution points has been promulgated for one year, so on this year's recovery day and new year, the allocation of materials has achieved results.

People will spend one-time consumption of "balanced contribution points" saved for a year, and use them to exchange for new year's goods for the festival.

And as early as two months ago.

There is awareness on the Temple Mount...

The law monks found that the monthly exchange frequency was very low, and the people were more or less reserved.

When someone realizes that a spending boom is coming, the first reaction is panic.

The centralized exchange of the people will definitely lead to a shortage of supplies. If the exchange cannot be completed, it will be their dereliction of duty and desecration of the oracle of balance.

Interpreted with the concept of the present world——

This will be a crisis of confidence.

The Balanced Supply and Marketing Co., Ltd. immediately prayed for guidance when the Lord and the Witch descended.

And Wu was very serious, "On this matter, do you still need to bother my lord?"

"The monks of the law are the foundation of balance, and my lord bestows the profound meaning of the law, so that you can benefit all peoples!"

"Find a way to solve it yourself, if you can't solve it, I will solve it for you!"

Of course, the news came to Zhou Li'an's ears, in other words, this was also his will.

The over-upgrading of the balanced system is an all-round training process.

Not only the cultivation of talents, but also the flexible application of the rules they have learned.

Contribution points are plentiful and materials are scarce, which will inevitably lead to inflation in short supply.

If you can't even understand this basic economic concept, how will you issue currency and develop a free economic market in the future?
The good thing is that the existing basic market of Qiqiong is still small and not fully opened.

Even if there are mistakes and omissions, Zhou Li'an can easily clean up the mess for them.

On the other hand, if you look at the big eastern countries in this world, you can understand why there was an excessive supply and marketing cooperative system in the early days.

Because they are afraid that the uneven distribution of materials will inevitably lead to currency problems.

Looking at the small countries of later generations, some global economic turmoil and soaring prices have led to public complaints and even system collapse and bankruptcy.

Cultivator Law had to listen to the witch's precepts, trembling with fear.

The Temple Mount immediately launched an emergency meeting, and the Supreme Elder Hall listened.

However, several days of discussions failed, and the monks who were in charge of the management of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative had already made plans to "ask for the punishment to come".

But a group of elders in the Supreme Elder Hall really have more than enough energy but not enough energy. They have different laws and profound meanings, so it is difficult to help them.

It was far from expected that the contribution point system would be so complicated.

However, the elders are wise.

The elder of the Hohokan people said: "This kind of problem has also occurred in the trade affairs of the big city of Hohokan. During the disaster year, various ministries brought supplies to exchange, and we often close the city gates and prohibit visitors..."

"But under the balance of the Kingdom of God, all are brothers and sisters. My Lord has something to say, we should love and help each other, not to mention that this is a major event involving everyone in the Kingdom of God, and it represents the majesty of our Lord!"

"The problems my lord left for you are also a test for you. You have to come up with a solution no matter what."

After talking for a while, everyone understands the truth, but the problem is...

"Elder, so how do we solve it?"

The elder said with a smile: "The wizard will give you guidance. It is a test for the monks of the law. If you can't think of a way, then ask other monks of the law for advice."

Everyone felt ashamed and quite annoyed, "My Temple Mount is the representative of monks of the law, and we have nothing to gain. Who else can solve such a problem?"

At this time, the Great Elder laughed.

A boy and a girl were kneeling under her knees, the boy was staring at the ceiling in a daze, waiting for the meeting to end quickly...

His father was away on an expedition, and his father's brother sent him a horse for him to practice riding.

The eldest mother and second mother also said, "Jijun's stupidity is judged by the witch's gaze."

"It's hard for him to gain anything from studying the secrets of the law. It's better to study the military law early and pray for the 'extra points of the realm assessment'."

Although Zhou Jijun is stupid, he agrees with this statement very much.

Where is the fun of riding a horse while practicing the law?

As for the other girl, she devoted herself wholeheartedly, acting like a young adult.

At this moment, she confided in a childish voice, "My lord has something to say, humility makes people progress, and pride makes people lag behind. Your arrogant and indulgent heart is an act of blasphemy!"

When the big hat was buttoned up, Cultivator Law's face turned blue and red, some were pale and angry, some were flushed and ashamed.

You are capable, right?

proceed if you can!
Just as he was about to refute, when he saw the source of the voice, no one dared to speak for a while.

This is Zhou Ruonan.

One of the very few favorites to be named by our Lord.

She is also the most beloved granddaughter of the Great Elder.

After a moment of silence, someone adjusted his mood and said, "Xiao Ruonan, what do you think?"

Zhou Ruonan shook his head, "I'm still a low-level cultivator, so I can't understand it, but everyone, don't forget, when it comes to the realm of law practice, who can compare with Brother Bullshit and Sister Xiaohua?"

Ok?
The atmosphere was stagnant.

When everyone raised their eyes again, they saw a group of elders laughing and not saying a word. Although they didn't have the ability to solve the problem, they had the wisdom of using people.

In such a comparison, when it comes to workarounds, they are not as good as Zhou Ruonan, a little girl.

Vaguely, they stared at Zhou Ruonan, and suddenly saw Wu's shadow——

"My lord is above!"

"Isn't this 'The Third Witch'?"

Do you need to think about the second?

"Xiao Hua Zong" has learned 6 points of the essence of witches!

At this point, someone hastily exclaimed, "Quickly write and ask the teacher..."

"Prepare the horse, ride the horse faster!"

And at this moment.

At the knee of the great elder, a young man staring at the sky in a daze finally woke up like a dream, "Horse? Where is the horse?! I want to ride a horse too!"

boom!
Zhou Ruonan slapped him on the back of the head, "Zhou Jijun, you idiot, when my lord and the shaman come, I will report to the shaman what you did today!"

Zhou Jijun was not afraid of pain, his elder mother and second mother always beat him at home, but when he heard that he was going to report to Wu, he burst into tears.

"No, Ruonan, the witch gave my second mother a set of new clothes, as white as snow, why don't I steal them and give them to you?"

……

soon.

The letter was delivered to the jail.

The three of them have been undisturbed for many days. The research groups are getting better and better, and they are blessed by the holy artifacts. Oil production and steelmaking are in full swing.

Suddenly received a letter, the three of them gathered together.

Niu Shi frowned slightly after seeing it.

Xiao Hua asked curiously, "Brother Bull Shit, what's wrong?"

Niushi handed the letter to Zhou Weiguo first, and then told the story.

When Xiaohua heard the "precepts of the witch", she immediately acted as if she had found a treasure——

"My lord is above!"

"Really? Wu Zhen said that?"

"If you can't solve it, I will solve you?"

"I learned, I learned!"

Bull Shit was dumbfounded at Xiao Hua's ability to focus on key points, but Zhou Weiguo just trembled slightly, Xiao Hua's toxicity became more and more terrifying.

When she comes out of the cage, there will be a group of law monks who will be happy.

Zhou Weiguo looked down at the letter and felt troubled, "Is this just an inference? No one can be 100% sure that the people of all cities will make massive exchanges on the recovery day and New Year."

After listening to the brief introduction of bullshit, Xiaohua understood something, and sneered, "The New Year of Recovery Day is the biggest celebration in the Kingdom of God. Why did you propose the contribution points and the supply and marketing cooperative system last year?"

"It is precisely because of the balance between the upper and lower levels that everyone is pious. It is what people want to offer sacrifices to our Lord on the grand ceremony day."

Zhou Weiguo was already immune to Xiao Hua's "classic negation", and asked lightly: "Then why not increase the supply? As long as we can survive the recovery day and New Year, anyway, there is no busy farming in winter, so it is not a good idea for each city to increase manpower to deal with the supply of supplies?"

Niu Shi shook his head: "First of all, you have to know that the reason why the shaman does not give guidance must be a test."

"If you use the manpower of each city to transfer, this is a cheating method."

"How can it be considered cheating? Isn't it right to increase output because there are fewer supplies?"

Niushi said again: "Then let me ask you, such as Xiaohua's farsightedness, after the population of the Kingdom of God has increased significantly, if you encounter similar problems, can you solve them with this simple method?"

"Now the population of the Kingdom of God is less than one million, perhaps increasing the supply of materials can deal with it."

"Then when the Kingdom of God has millions of people, the demand for materials in a short period of time soars. Unless the entire Kingdom of God is fully mobilized, how can the supply be met?"

"This test and tempering is to deal with the problems in the future. If we don't come up with a solution now, we may accumulate disasters that will turmoil the Kingdom of God in the future."

Zhou Weiguo finally realized the seriousness of the problem, gasped, "Is it really so powerful?"

Xiao Hua closed her eyes and nodded, "This actually involves an economic issue, Brother Bullshit must understand."

Niushi cried and laughed: "I've read through this concept, but there is only less than a year left in the punishment test, and the knowledge in my mind is mixed, and I really feel powerless."

"The main reason is that the recovery day and the new year are approaching, and there is only more than a month of response period. I am not sure that they will tide over the difficulties. If there are mistakes or omissions, things will be very serious."

"Maybe..." Niushi looked at Xiaohua seriously, "Is there anything you can do?"

Seeing Niu Shi's bright gaze, Xiao Hua felt a little shy, "Brother Niu Shi can't do anything about it, how could I."

Zhou Weiguo: "..."

Cow Shit: "..."

"However." Xiao Hua quickly got into the mood again, and sneered, "They are a bunch of idiots, they are not good at practicing the law, but they don't even understand the principle of cutting the mess with a sharp knife."

"The witch's precepts are deeply in my heart. If they can't solve it, then solve them, so as not to waste the food of my kingdom of God."

The two were speechless.

Okay.

Did you use the lines you just learned?

Niushi knew Xiaohua's temper, so he simply asked the question in a roundabout way: "What is the solution to the so-called quick knife to cut the mess?"

Xiaohua said: "They only think about how to make up for the lack of supplies, but they don't think about starting from the root of the problem."

"First of all, as Wei Guo said, it is not realistic to suddenly increase the production of supplies."

Zhou Weiguo frowned: "Why is it unrealistic?"

Xiaohua said: "Let me ask you, how do you store the catches and fresh meat? Even if they are made into dry goods, a lot of salt will be consumed."

"Since the Mono Lake Salt Field has satisfied the supply of ten cities this year, our lord no longer bestows salt creations. This is the sanctity of our lord's will. It is better to teach people to fish than to give them fish!"

"Consumption of a large amount of salt will inevitably lead to a shortage of salt. Let me ask you, is the problem more serious than the lack of salt, or the lack of new year's goods?"

"This..." Zhou Weiguo was speechless.

"Secondly, the transportation capacity of each city is insufficient, and the frequency of people's exchange is low on weekdays. The supply and marketing cooperatives in each city can keep up with the speed of supply and marketing. Once encountering the centralized exchange of nearly a million people, the result can be imagined."

Obviously, the transportation capacity must not keep up.

"Then there is no solution to this problem at all." Zhou Weiguo cried and laughed.

Xiaohua was holding the pearl in her hands, "So, you have fallen into the same misunderstanding as them."

Zhou Weiguo: "You call me a fool?"

"I didn't say it, you said it yourself."

"you……"

"Enough!" Bullshit controlled the field and said, "Xiaohua, this is not a child's play. The sooner you deal with it, the better the results will be."

Xiaohua also only listened to the bullshit, and finally asked the question: "They only pay attention to the material, but never see the essence of the problem."

"Essence?" Bullshit mused for half a second, and suddenly his spirits bloomed, clearing the clouds and seeing the fog, "It's the contribution point! There are too many contribution points!"

Xiao Hua laughed, "Brother Shit is smarter."

"If you contribute a lot, you need to promote consumption and differentiate supply and demand, rather than concentrating on one point."

"On a deeper level, price control and other things need to be done..."

"However, the current balanced economic system is not yet perfect, and people's acceptance is limited. It is not appropriate to change the price suddenly."

"But this time, it can be used as a training of market rules, so that the people have a preliminary concept."

Zhou Weiguo was horrified, "As expected of you, Xiao Hua! How can I do it?"

Xiaohua's face turned serious, and she began to break the question, "The cities are launching sales promotions. If the price increase is not appropriate, then the price will be reduced to a certain extent!"

"In the name of celebrating the celebration, conduct promotions; if you exchange two fish, get one free;"

"Although it also increases the burden of production, it can definitely increase the consumption enthusiasm of the people..."

"To put it simply, the purchase of new year's goods has been advanced by two months!"

"By the time of the recovery day and the new year, the contribution points in the hands of the people will not be so much, which is enough for the supply and marketing cooperatives in various cities to deal with."

"At the same time, I also teach these idiots to listen carefully, and to gain wisdom by eating a pit. Starting next year, each city will need to collect the balance of contribution points every month, and launch irregular activities to promote consumption."

At this time, Zhou Weiguo had already started recording.

He can't solve problems, and his brain ability is far behind the two, so he can only do some auxiliary work.

The three of them discussed for a while, finally summarized the specific plan, and handed it over to the guards outside.

immediately.

The Temple Mount and the Supreme Elder Hall trembled.

"As expected of cow dung and little flower, the two can be called the stars of the kingdom of God. Only such a person can guide the kingdom of God to flourish under the guidance of our lord!"

The cities acted immediately to launch promotional plans.

Where have the people seen such a battle?I am not familiar with the exchange system of supply and marketing cooperatives, so I just came here to buy two get one free?

Cities began to exchange.

And Xiaohua has been prepared for a long time, and the daily supply is limited.

The meaning expressed to the outside world is not that the supply and marketing cooperative is out of stock, but...

I have already reduced the price, you are not willing to wait for two more days?
While consuming contribution points, there is no need to worry about insufficient material supply.

This news was learned by Zhou Li'an and Xue Nu, and the master and servant could only feel relieved.

"Master, can you give Xiaohua a name? Her ability to comprehend the mysteries of laws even surpasses me."

Zhou Li'an had thought about it a long time ago. As he got older, the name Xiao Hua was not suitable anymore.

Moreover, most people in the Kingdom of God have the surname "Zhou", but the surname "Ma" is quite special, given by the Ma clan.

"Xiaohua is sensible, so she took the homonym and gave her surname 'Li'. She has the favor of me and you, so she can be named Wynn."

"Li Huaien?"

"However, after giving the surname, there must be a clear name for the reward."

……

Equilibrium 12 years, June 12.

early morning.

At the foot of the Temple Mount, crowds of people outside the prison.

Hundreds of Temple Mount monks gathered, and even the elders of the highest elder hall were looking forward to it.

to noon.

The jail door opened.

I saw a holy Snow Maiden wearing a different species of white fur, leading a girl to step out.

"After one year and two months, Xiaohua, the dean of No. 6 Dacheng College, broke through the high level of the law and the profound meaning, and broke through the law of great perfection!"

"Sin and punishment have been tempered, and my lord has grace to bestow."

wow——

Everyone felt a burst of golden light shining down behind them.

Looking back, everyone bowed down.

I saw above the temple, the Dharma Body of the True God of Our Lord had already appeared, and as the noble figure stepped out of the temple, the huge Dharma Body also came along with it.

Zhou Li'an came closer.

Putting one hand on the top of Xiaohua's forehead, the huge palm of the dharma body also descended——

"You have been in poverty since childhood, and you have suffered so much. I cast my gaze on you, and I have compassion!"

"Everyone says that you are the one I have chosen."

"I will justify your name today—"

"You are my darling, you have won my joy with a pious heart, and you are more eager to learn, and you can be an example for all people!"

"I, the Lord of Equilibrium, created a unique surname for you today, so that your descendants will be blessed with your surname."

"Sensible reason is Li, and the favor of Wu and Wu is Wynne."

boom--

The scene was shocked.

It is rare to give a name, and only a member of the Ma clan is given a surname.

Although everyone regards the surname Zhou as an honor, but now that they have "existed the surname", they know it is a real grace.

Xiaohua is also sluggish, her mind is blank.

Xuenv said: "Li Huaien, don't you thank my lord for his grace and favor?"

Xiaohua was shocked, and then she came back to her senses, kowtowed fiercely, and let out a childish shout——

"Praise my lord, praise balance!"

"Wynn would like to make an oath with body and spirit. The descendants of the Li family will all dedicate their sincere hearts to our Lord, worship and listen to your precepts, and serve you at your knees from generation to generation..."

So far.

The kneeling cultivators and elders all reached a tacit understanding and spoke in unison——

"Balance exists among all things!"
