Chapter 1612 Reputation, National Destiny, Law

Ji Zhen left the matter of establishing credibility to Zhao Mingyi. He didn't have much money, but it was enough for the time being, so Zhao Mingyi started to buy specialties in the city under the pretense that he got lost in a sandstorm and happened to open a trade route.

This part of the specialty has no actual value. Excluding the transportation costs, it can be transported to Xingguan City for sale at most without losing money. However, this is a process of establishing reputation and requires two or three acquisitions, or even someone walking through this road in person.

Only after establishing business routes can you gain enough trust.

"Are you sure you can give me the money? This is higher than the price offered by the city lord!" Someone came back from collecting herbs. When he saw Zhao Mingyi buying the herbs, he didn't trust his words very much.

Wow!

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

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

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

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

Then think about it from your own point of view, why do you believe that copper soul coins can buy things? If you think about it, you will understand that it is because the currency is issued by the state. In comparison, if the copper coins of the same size are casino chips,

, do you still believe that he can buy something?

But why does the country issue copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins? You see, you have noticed that the money we use daily is not just money, it is also a kind of goods.

Gold, silver, and copper are also valuable in themselves. Our country does not have enough credibility to let us believe that the currency it issues can buy things, so the noble people cleverly thought of using an item that has a certain value in itself as currency.

, let us believe in his value.

Now you should understand why someone who uses real gold and silver to mint 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 credibility.

You should know that the more remote and small the country, the more hard currency gold and silver are. Because their credibility is insufficient, they rely more on the value of gold and silver. In other words, if the country's credibility is enough, it can be used

Toilet paper is used as money, because at this time money no longer needs the value of its own material.

And we are the same now. If we want to build our own credibility, we must rely on the credibility of the country and let others know that we hold a large number of countries' credibility in our hands, so that they can gradually believe in our own credibility."

Zhao Mingyi still has a big head even now, 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 bit.

Some people believe that working for them will make a profit, so they have the power to direct these people to do things. The more people who believe in them, the stronger the trust, and the greater the things they can do.

Zhao Mingyi imagined that he was born into a noble family and could inherit the power of rule when he became an adult. In the past, such a scene would often wake him up from his dreams, but now he recalled that such power, such lack of control ability, and insufficient credibility

The power of protection seems to have become less attractive.

On the contrary, he was very intoxicated by using the binding between the country's reputation and himself to gain very little power to order others to do things. This was a power that could truly be grasped in his hands!

After dispersing all the gold and silver in the bag, Zhao Mingyi also successfully pulled up a caravan and traveled to and from Jizhen in the desert. The wealth he brought back with him was like an adventurer who brought back gold and silver from the New World, bringing them a lot of money.

credibility, organized a larger voyage.

This time, they need a name of their own to unite people's hearts. Credibility needs some carriers, such as the national title, national flag, national emblem, and national anthem. These are some embodiments of credibility.

However, Ji Zhen, who is not a soul master himself, did not realize the extraordinary power of this world and its impact on his theory during this deduction, so he named his business group, Sandstorm Group.

This mistake caused his power to suffer a huge loss in the process of development, making it almost impossible to expand its power overseas.

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

Although the rules of the world are different, Chengying has been exposed to the national destiny thing back then. On the Tulip side, the national destiny is the same as belief, involving some underlying logic of soul power. Fortunately, Chengying relied on the national destiny to protect his body and avoid

He was assassinated by the gods in the early stage.

And since the extraordinary power can materialize the national destiny, it also means that the national title cannot be chosen randomly...

However, today's Sandstorm Group is still far away from this step, so everyone thinks that this name is very appropriate. It makes sense for a caravan that shuttles between sandstorms!

This time, the number of people in the team reached fifty, because they had goods to transport. Ji Zhen didn't talk much along the way, but he was always able to lead everyone to avoid danger.

Zhao Mingyi had a strange feeling. He felt that credibility was flowing towards Ji Zhen. Although he couldn't see it or touch it, he had such an 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 same is true for the country's emperors. They almost represent most of the country's credibility, but why is this?

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

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! How did I once view the emperor? Was it the Star Crown clan of the Star Luo Empire... That was the ancient bloodline that was once engraved on the badge of the Spirit Hall

One of the six martial spirits, it is the sacred bloodline that can give birth to soul masters in every generation...

Hmm...sacred bloodline! That's it. Not just 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 their holiness? Well? It seems to be to make people admit that the whole world is not the king's land. If the emperor is also a mortal, then why does he own the world?

So they are actually using this 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's hard for them to recognize that my blood is sacred.

Therefore, I cannot use noble blood as an excuse 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 most despicable slave to cut off my head with a knife to prove that I am no different from mortals and thus destroy this sacredness.

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.

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 all the time. Douluo's social system was not suitable for progress, and the classical sterilism of the feudal system could also break out.

For example, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, battles for hegemony often involved tens of thousands of soldiers. The land area was not much larger than that of the European mud-legged warriors 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 tantamount to sending people to the other side.

In contrast, the line of classical mushroomism, although the productivity will lag behind, is extremely powerful in mobilizing the whole people. It uses technology theft, talent mining and other means to ensure that there is no huge generation gap in technology and supports 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 sacred and inviolable!

Why does the bourgeois revolution advocate equality for all? It is naturally to oppose the divine right of kings. If the king owns land as a matter of course, then the rights of rich people will not be protected. They are like businessmen in ancient China.

When officials are short of money, they can use it to kill pigs.

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 that private property is sacred and inviolable? 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 it.

Mass production materials.

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?" Ji Zhen 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... there’s no big problem.”

"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 they were quickly stopped by us. 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 is 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 perspective, it is easy to understand why we should abide by the law, because there are violent agencies to suppress it, and breaking the law will be punished.

But what is the meaning of the existence of the law? Is it to govern us? However, those with 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?

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 make inferences 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!"
