See you soon Douluo

Chapter 70 Textbook Dystopia

Under Cheng Ying's encouraging gaze, Tang Chen frowned slightly and said, "As soon as I entered the city, I was very surprised why so many people gathered in the city. In theory, shouldn't these ordinary people be farming in the soul master's manor? ?How can we feed so many people without farming?"

Tang Chen's question went straight to the essence and aroused everyone's thinking. Before they could come up with the results, he continued: "From this, I can draw a conclusion, that is, there is indeed such a method on this continent. Or a kind of food that can feed so many people.

You have also seen potatoes and corn in the teacher's manor. With the yield of these crops, combined with composting and other planting methods, it is possible to feed so many people if they are popularized on a large scale.

But here comes the question, why is it that most people in the city are still hungry even though there is clearly enough food to feed a large population? "

Tang Chen gave everyone some time to think, and then continued: "Since the problem is not in production, it must be in distribution. It is also work, why do some people not have enough to eat, why do some people have enough to eat, and why do some people not only You can eat enough and continue to accumulate wealth.

I think Fourth Junior Sister has also thought about this issue. It seems fair to exchange labor for wealth, but in fact it is unfair. The same labor can exchange for different wealth.

It's like a businessman can make a fortune that an ordinary dock porter might not be able to earn in a year just by talking or escorting two batches of goods.

This kind of gap also exists on our continent. Although I don't know what the principle is, what is certain is that the weird situation on this continent is the result of this gap exaggerating to a certain extent. "

When Tang Chen said this, Chao Tianxiang couldn't help but frown: "If this is really the case, how can there be fairness? Why isn't equal labor exchanged for equal wealth? In this case, wouldn't everyone be able to Being rich must be the life most people want, right?”

Tang Chen thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know why it's like this. It's probably because the people who control the distribution of wealth are stronger! The bottom class has no ability to resist, so it's like this."

Among the little ones next to him, only Bo Saixi could understand it half-heartedly. Ice Emperor and Meng Shu both rolled their eyes and didn't understand anything, so they were waiting for the food to be served.

Cheng Ying coughed and stopped the two people who were still trying to argue: "It's good that you two can discuss this issue, which proves that you are both thinking!
  But you all have problems with your ideas. First of all, Tang Chen was able to understand the root cause of the gap between rich and poor caused by the division of labor in society. This is very powerful. In this era, not even one in ten thousand people can see through this.

But you have underestimated the strength of the lower level. Perhaps without firearms, the gap between ordinary people and titled Douluo is huge, and the resistance to the upper levels is fragile. But you have ignored the strength of the low-level soul masters at the bottom. The interests are the same as those of ordinary people.

And have you ever thought about what will happen to these soul masters who once used to conquer the world after the mainland is unified? Will the country still support them? But if you don't raise them, these people have martial arts, organization, and strength, and they will use their own hands to get what they want.

If they had not discovered the New World and had no pressure relief valve, internal conflicts would lead to a civil war sooner or later. If the current social form was not rational, it would have collapsed long ago.

Let’s talk about Chaotianxiang, what you object to is actually the scissor gap between handicraft industry and agriculture. Because of technology, monopoly, capital, and many other reasons, there is a considerable scissor gap between handicraft industry and agriculture. The same labor can produce several times more food.

This is indeed a problem in social distribution. There were people who thought about the same problem as you. Then they invested all their property and tried to build a place called Utopia, where sages and the people farmed and ate side by side. , merchants and merchants have no two prices, equal labor is exchanged for equal value goods. "

Hearing this, Chao Tianxiang couldn't wait to ask: "What happened to Utopia? Can everyone be happy living in such a city?"

Chengying did not announce the answer, but continued to tell the story: "Utopia initially attracted many poor people, and also attracted some young people who were dissatisfied with the status quo in society. They built a city of their own, and all decisions must be won by everyone. of consent.

As a result, their factories received an eight-hour work system, and their agricultural products could be exchanged for the same daily necessities they recognized. Even if they were disabled or lost their ability to work, the city would provide them with daily necessities, and they would try their best to maximize their value. . " Chao Tianxiang listened to the fascination, as if he had already seen such a world of great harmony: "Then what? Where is this utopia? "

“Then…then they went bankrupt, and the originally united citizens resented each other and fell apart, becoming a very typical failure case in history.

Because their wages are too high, their factories cannot compete with other factories, and they do not have the ability to produce all daily necessities, so they must purchase many things from the outside world.

This resulted in the entire city's wealth being unable to make ends meet. It didn't take long for the city to be unable to function due to debt, and eventually fell apart completely. "Cheng Ying shrugged and gave Chao Tianxiang an unexpected answer.

"But... why is this happening? Isn't this the wish of most people?" Chao Tianxiang pursed his lips.

"Do you think the will of most people is correct? Don't be naive. I don't want to work but I want to gain more wealth. I believe that the vast majority of people have such a wish. Is this will correct?

Be sober and forget this unrealistic dream as soon as possible. Utopia does not exist. Social division of labor is an unstoppable trend. If your pursuit is to build a real utopia, it will completely destroy you. "

Cheng Ying looked at Chao Tianxiang seriously, which made her eyes flicker and she didn't dare to look at Cheng Ying.

"Hey! Forget it, it's hard to convince you of this kind of thing, so let's do this! There is no ethnic group like ours on this continent, and I just used this place as a testing ground to let you see how ugly capital can be. "Said Cheng Ying stood up and walked towards the door.

"Eh? Wait a minute! Don't you want to eat?" Ice Emperor and Meng Shu said almost in unison.

"I came in just to sit for a while. As for eating... let's forget it! I'm afraid you will vomit." After saying that, Cheng Ying had already walked out of the wine shop. Ice Emperor was still a little unwilling to give up, so he picked up the unknown substance in the wooden tray and tasted it. After one sip, his little face rolled his eyes and rolled under the table.
