Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Although Li Yulong's thoughts and intentions were confirmed, Chen Xin still did not let him into his shelter.

He just let Li Yulong enter the preparation room and can sit down and talk to him about it.

"Brother Chen, when you say that I want the right to issue currency, you've wronged me. The government is still there! How can this kind of thing be allowed to be privately involved." Although Li Yulong has ambitions, his mind is still very clear, and he doesn't feel that Now that it is the end of the world, you can do whatever you want: "All I want is the right to mint coins, not the right to issue them, and it doesn't really matter whether this kind of thing exists or not. The real core benefit is that there is a market and there will be commercial circulation."

Hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help laughing: "You see it very clearly, money is money only when it flows, and hoarding it can only be called production materials."

However, while praising Li Yulong, Chen Xin also asked curiously: "I can understand that you want to establish commercial circulation, but now the total number of materials in the hands of the survivors is limited, without social production, these people will sooner or later consume With all the wealth you have, the market will dry up very quickly, how are you going to fix that?"

"Brother Chen, can the ground source heat pump you made be used to build a greenhouse?" Li Yulong just asked another question with a smirk at Chen Yu.

"Growing a greenhouse? Of course, the ground source heat pump can continuously output heat to maintain the planting greenhouse..." Chen Xin instinctively answered this question, and suddenly realized in the middle of the sentence: "It turns out that the plantation economy exploits the residual value."

Seeing that Chen Xin understood what he was thinking, Li Yulong felt a little embarrassed and patted his head: "Hey, Xiao Chen, it's ugly for you to say that, I'm not a capitalist, I just let other people live. At the same time, I also absorb a little oil and water.”

Chen Xin and Li Yulong could understand what the other party was saying, but Qin Lan could hear it a little bit.

She can understand what Chen Xin means when the market will dry up soon. Demand determines value. What survivors need most now are all kinds of survival materials. These things are not only just needed, but also the most valuable wealth.

But the survival supplies in the hands of each survivor are limited and will gradually be consumed over time.

It's as if everyone has a limited amount of money. If they can't make more money, they'll be spent no matter how much money they have.

I just understood what Chen Xin said about the drying up of the market, but Qin Lan still didn’t understand what he and Li Yulong mentioned about the planting greenhouse, and what Chen Xin said about the plantation economy and the exploitation of residual value. These are only in high school thinking. Qin Lan felt confused by what he had heard in politics class.

"Axin, what are you talking about?" Qin Lan asked Chen Xin directly about his doubts.

"Sister Qin, we didn't say anything, just that I wanted to build a greenhouse, and I needed Brother Chen to provide a ground source heat pump." Li Yulong hurriedly explained, but he was obviously fooling Qin Lan and didn't want Qin Lan to figure out what was in the middle. what happened.

However, Chen Xin just glanced at him and explained to Qin Lan: "Alan, you should understand that for a market to have commercial circulation, there must be a steady stream of commodities for trading, right?"

"Of course, if there is no commodity for trading, there will be no commercial circulation. I still understand this principle." Qin Lan nodded, indicating that he understood.

Seeing Chen Xin begin to explain to Qin Lan, Li Yulong's face was a little ugly, but he still resisted the desire to say something, just watched Chen Xin explain his intentions to Qin Lan with a cold face.

"Since you can understand this, Alan, then you can understand that in the current environment, the materials in the hands of the survivors are limited. Except for the new materials that can be produced in the hands of the official, other survivors are currently It can be regarded as having no production capacity." Chen Xin could naturally sense the change in Li Yulong's demeanor, but he continued: "So, if you really want to build a trading platform and establish commercial circulation, the supply of goods is very important.

Now, for all survivors, the most valuable things are survival materials, and what the survivors need most is nothing more than food and heating.

The ground source heat pump I can do is heating equipment, and after Xiaolong obtained the ground source heat pump heating equipment from me, he can sell a survivor in need, but this is only a one-shot deal, and the benefits are too small.

So Xiaolong, who wants to make more profit, plans to use ground source heat pump equipment to build a greenhouse, and then hire survivors to work for him, produce more food, and then sell the food to survivors, he can Get a steady stream of benefits. "

"But in this case, why do you want to buy his food?" Qin Lan understood Chen Xin's explanation, but he had new doubts: "Don't you also get food when you go to the official shelter to work?"

"Good question!" Chen Xin praised, as if a brilliant speaker met a cheering audience, he stood up and explained: "If he just grows food and sells it, then there is no need for him at all. Create a trading platform and just sell these foods.

But only primitive and stupid slave owners will make money in such an inefficient way, and smart capitalists will take more efficient ways to make money.

If I were a little dragon, I would hire a group of people to do the work for me, and then after the food was grown, I would give everyone more food than they needed, and that part would be the surplus means of production, which obviously can be used for trading.

Let the people under you have materials that can be used for trading, then the business can be circulated, but this is not enough, because all the means of production are still only flowing in a closed loop, just from me to the workers, and then from the workers to me .

This is not profitable for me, so I also need to add another party between me and the worker, which is the other survivor. "

Chen Xin explained to Qin Lan, and at the same time began to gesture with both hands, pointed at Li Yulong and said: "Assuming Xiaolong is another survivor, Alan, you are my worker, and the food you grow every day, Alan, is not only for you to eat. There is also a great surplus.

Although I 'generously' gave you enough food for two people, the total amount of food you produced, Alan, was still far greater than the reward I sent you, and the extra part is that Alan, you were taken by me. Exploited surplus value.

At this time, I can use these residual values ​​to trade with other survivors like Xiaolong, and exchange food for the supplies I need in his hands, so that there will be more commercial activities in the market.

But this is not the end, because the materials I exchanged from Xiaolong are far greater than what I need to survive alone. At this time, I can sell these materials to you, Alan.

However, this is too inefficient. I can let Xiaolong sell these materials to you directly, and let the part of the food in your hands, except for the survival needs, also participate in the market circulation.

In this way, a three-party trading market is formed. As long as I maintain the existence of the planting greenhouse and trading platform, I can continuously obtain new profits, and this is the most efficient method of exploitation. You seem to have obtained Great pay, but in reality you still have nothing. "

This principle is actually very easy to understand. If you understand Marx's political economy in high school ideological and political textbooks, you should be able to easily understand what I am talking about.
