Great Creator

Outside the house at night, it is quiet.

The gentle moonlight shrouds the wounded earth.

"Wen Ling, are you sure you want to choose this person?"

"Yes, master. I have observed him for three days, and I feel that this person is quite good."

"Okay, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, but it seems that there is no sincerity when offering incense to Lihuo."

Huang Si had just teleported over, while Wen Ling had been here for three days.

For the specific situation, he would understand after looking at Wen Ling's memory.

"Indeed, he is only willing to buy the cheapest incense. This is a person who is used to saving. But has the master noticed that what he bought for his mother is the best roast chicken in the deli."

"So what, oh yes, I'll go buy one tomorrow and have a look."

Wen Ling smiled and shook her head.

After chatting with Wen Ling for a while, Huang Si pulled him into the air.

The earth becomes smaller and smaller underfoot.

Soon, the whole village was like a matchbox.

They continue to rise.

Wen Ling asked, "Master, what do you want?"

"At a higher place, you'll have a better perspective."

Huang Si answered him.

Wen Ling understood.

The two stopped at a high altitude. From this perspective, the buildings on the ground could no longer be seen clearly.

Wen Ling has the law of darkness, and the darkness cannot hinder his vision. He looks at the vast land.

From here, looking into the distance, there are layers of mountains and rivers.

It is easy to identify the place where the human race lives, because the natural geography will show irregular lines, but the human race's residence will depict a clear and regular straight line on the earth.

In the high night sky, under the wind blowing, Huang Si said:

"Before, you have heard the words of peace."

Wen Ling nodded, "Well, he is angry at the injustice of the world."

"Speaking of which, Wen Ling, do you know why these people have been very poor?"

"In today's social productivity, theoretically, the food produced by one person can feed more than five people. Why are they still so poor?"

Huang Si asked suddenly.

"Master must have taught me something."

Wen Ling was very smart, and immediately realized that Huang Si didn't want to ask a question, but to say something.

"Well, the reason is actually very simple, because the life of the poor is full of risks."

"A person, as long as he invests his money in expanding reproduction, his wealth today will be more than yesterday, day by day, until he reaches a stable one day. We call this stable wealth equilibrium."

"As long as a person has assets, in theory, he can reach the equilibrium of wealth little by little."

"However, if a person starts out poor, he doesn't have the cash to invest, so he can't grow his wealth."

"As long as the poor have a little extra consumption, such as illness, such as buying luxuries such as television, his wealth will be less than yesterday, and the less wealth he has, the harder it is for him to get out of this state. This is called poverty trap."

"For a rich man, if he gets sick or buys a diamond ring worth tens of thousands of dollars, it just slows down the growth of his wealth, and he is still in the wealthy class."

"But for the poor, he can't get sick, and he has to avoid extra expenses. Living in this world, he needs to endure a lot of desires before he can successfully save a little money. And once he gets sick, maybe all his previous efforts will be in vain. .”

"Also, life for the poor is dull."

"So, rather than saving money and trying to reach the critical point of prosperity little by little, the poor are more willing to spend their money on things that are extravagant to him but can add to the joy of life or satisfaction."

"Like an iPhone."

"Some people would even sell their kidneys to buy an iPhone."

"But once he does, he ends up in a much more miserable situation."

"Compared to poor people, rich people don't have to endure so many desires. They can buy a lot of things if they want, and do whatever they want, without thinking so much at all."

"The poor are different. On the one hand, the poor have less information than the rich, so that their decisions are often irrational. On the other hand, they have a stronger desire for luxuries beyond their means, Only by restraining all these desires can we accumulate assets little by little...but as long as there is a little accident, it will fail."

"That's why rich people are more successful than poor people."

"If a person falls into the trap of poverty, it is difficult to get out only by relying on one's own strength."

"Pinghe's free clinics in the village have actually helped these villagers to a large extent, reducing their chances of becoming poorer."

After Huang Si finished speaking, Wen Ling basically understood, but he didn't understand many words.

Looking at the village below, Wen Ling asked:

"Then, is it inexplicable that the poor will be poor?"

"Of course it's not unsolvable."

Huang Si said.

"Otherwise, why would there be uprisings and revolutions in ancient society? It's just for reshuffling the cards."

He added:

"But today's human race, it is not easy to think of uprising. This has something to do with the level of technology. The hierarchy of the human race is too strict, and advanced military technology is in the hands of the nobles, so it is difficult for civilians to resist."

Wen Ling asked: "Is there any hope for the human race to come back?"

"Of course there is. This is how wars are used. Every time there is a large-scale war, a large number of upstarts will emerge from the human race. Then again, if it weren't for the Millennium War, the technology of the human race would not have developed by leaps and bounds like this. The voyage has begun."

Wen Ling immediately asked again:

"However, the war is about to end. If the Jing Kingdom unites the world, then wouldn't the human race form a stable structure from top to bottom, a pool of stagnant water, and no room for people at the bottom to stand up?"

Huang Si didn't answer him immediately.

Wen Ling didn't wait for the answer, thought for a while, and said:

"In this way, the poor will always be poor and the rich will always be rich, and the rich will oppress the poor more and more unscrupulously, just like what we saw in this village where the landlord and his subordinates oppressed the peasants."

"The master probably doesn't want to see this happen."

Huang Si nodded.

"This situation, in fact, in my conception, there are two solutions."

"One, it is to imitate the practice on the other side of the earth."

"The way to solve the problem of class immobility over there is the imperial examination system. Through the relatively fair system of the imperial examination, it can ensure the circulation of talents from the bottom to the upper class and avoid class rigidity."

"The second is to develop religion."

"The human race does not have a complete and mature religious system so far, only the primitive belief in gods. If you join religion, add the metaphysics of karma, and then add force that transcends the world, you can contain this situation."

"Religion, and extraordinary power, can make everyone think about the serious consequences of doing these things before doing evil, instead of doing things arbitrarily just because they don't violate the criminal law."

He looked at Wen Ling.

"What I ask you to do is the latter."

Wen Ling nodded.

"I see... I finally understand the root cause of all the things my master asked me to do."

He made a salute.

"Thank you master for teaching me."

Wen Ling's thanks are sincere.

To paraphrase a word from Earth, among the family members of the Three Realms, Wen Ling's happiness is estimated to be one of the best.

Now he can do research if he wants to, with an unlimited lifespan and no official duties.

Moreover, he did not ponder alone, but was taught by his teacher Huang Si.

Wen Ling was extremely satisfied with such a life.

After talking about this, Huang Si took Wen Ling to Fenhe City and asked him to find a place to live.

Although Wen Ling has five laws, none of these five laws are suitable for combat and daily use like Xiao Hua.

In other words, the law of water system is more useful.

He can't fly now, and he doesn't have a power core yet, so he can only live like a mortal.

"Let's go, see you tomorrow."

Wen Ling stood at the door of the inn, sending off the host respectfully.

Huang Sishun wrote down the purchase of roast chicken on the schedule, then teleported away.
