Chapter 70: Textbook Dystopia
In Cheng Ying’s encouraging gaze, Tang Chen frowned slightly and said, “As soon as I entered the city, it was very strange. Why are there so many people in the city? In theory, shouldn’t these ordinary people be farming in the manor of the soul master? How can you feed so many people without farming?"
Tang Chen’s question was directed at the essence, and it also caused everyone to think. Before they could think about the results, he continued: “From this, I can draw a conclusion that there is indeed such a method on this continent. Or a kind of food that can feed so many people.
In the teacher’s manor, you have also seen potatoes and corn. With the output of these crops, combined with composting and other planting methods, it is possible to feed so many people under the large-scale popularization.
But the question is, why is the food clearly enough to feed a large number of people, but most people in the city are still starving while running for their livelihoods?"
Tang Chen gave everyone a little time to think before continuing: "Since the problem is not in production, it must be in distribution. It is also work. Why do some people can’t eat enough, why some people can’t eat enough, why some people not only Can eat enough, but also continue to accumulate wealth.
I think the Fourth Junior Sister has also thought about this. It seems fair to exchange labor for wealth, but it is actually unfair. The same labor can exchange for different wealth.
It's like a businessman who only needs to move his mouth or escort two shipments to earn a wealth that the most ordinary porter may not earn in a year.
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 being exaggerated to a certain extent."
When Tang Chen said this, Chao Tianxiang couldn't help but frowned: "If this is the case, what is fair? Why isn't equivalent labor exchanged for equivalent wealth? In this case, wouldn't everyone be able to do so? To get rich, this must be the life most people want, right?"
Tang Chen thought for a moment, and shook his head: "I don't know why it became like this, probably because the people who control the distribution of wealth are stronger! The bottom layer has no ability to resist and it becomes like this."
Among the little ones next to them, only Bo Saixi could understand a little bit. Bingdi and Meng Shu had already rolled their eyes and could not understand anything, so they were waiting for the dishes.
Chengying coughed and stopped the two who still wanted to argue: "You two can discuss this issue, which proves that you are both thinking. This is great!
But you have problems with your ideas. First of all, let's talk about Tang Chen. It is very powerful to be able to recognize the root cause of the social division of labor and the gap between the rich and the poor. This era can see through this, not even one in 10,000 people.
But you underestimated the strength of the bottom level. Perhaps ordinary people without firearms have a huge gap with Title Douluo, and resistance to the top level is fragile, but you overlooked the low level spirit masters at the bottom level. The interests are consistent with these ordinary people.
And have you ever thought about the unification of the mainland, what about these spirit masters who used to fight the world?Will the country still support them?But if you don't raise them, these people have spirits, organization, and strength, and they will use their own hands to get what they want.
If they did not discover the New World, there was no pressure relief valve, internal contradictions, and a civil war would be a matter of time. If the current social situation is unreasonable, it must have collapsed long ago.
Let’s talk about Chaotianxiang. What you are opposed to is actually the scissors difference between handicrafts and agriculture. Because of technology, monopoly, capital, and many other reasons, handicrafts have a considerable degree of scissors to agriculture. The same labor can change several times the amount of food.
This is indeed a problem in social distribution. Someone once thought about the same problem as you, and then they invested all their assets and tried to establish a place called utopia.
Hearing this, Chao Tianxiang couldn't wait to ask: "What happened to the utopia? Will everyone be happy in such a city?"
Chengying did not release the answer, but continued to tell the story: "Utopia attracted many poor people at first, and also attracted some young people who were dissatisfied with the status quo in society. They established a city of their own, and all decisions must win everyone. Agreed.
As a result, their factories were given an eight-hour work day, and agricultural products could be exchanged for the same daily necessities as they approved. Even if they were disabled or unable to work, the city would provide them with living supplies to support them, and they would try their best to play their value. ."
Chaotianxiang’s fascinating listening, seemed to have seen such a world of great harmony: "Then what? Where is this utopia?"
"Then...then they went bankrupt. The citizens who had been united complained to each other and fell apart and became a very typical failure in history.
Their factories can't compete with other factories completely because of high treatment, and they don't have the ability to produce all the necessities of life, so they have to buy a lot of things from the outside world.
This caused the entire city’s wealth to make ends meet, and it didn’t take long for it to fail because of debt, and eventually fell apart completely.Chengying shrugged and gave Chao Tianxiang an unexpected answer.
"But... why is it like this? Isn't this the wish of most people?" Chaotianxiang kept her mouth flat.
"Do you think that the will of most people is correct? Don't be naive. I don't want to work but want to get more wealth. I believe that most people have such a desire. Is this will correct?
Be sober, it is best to forget this unrealistic dream as soon as possible. Utopia does not exist, and social division of labor is an unstoppable trend. If your pursuit is to build a true utopia, it will completely ruin you."
Chengying looked at Chaotianxiang earnestly, causing her eyes to flicker and she did not dare to look at Chengying.
"Hey! Forget it, it's hard to convince you with this kind of thing, so let's do it! There is no ethnic group on this continent, so I just used it as an experimental ground for my teacher, letting you see how ugly capital can be. "Say Chengying stood up and walked outside the door.
"Eh? Wait a minute! Don't you eat anymore?" Bingdi and Meng Shu almost said in unison.
"I came in to sit for a while, as for eating... forget it! I'm afraid you will vomit." After saying that Chengying had already walked out of the wine shop, Bingdi was still a little unwilling to give up, took the unknown substance in the wooden tray and tasted it. With a bite, the little face rolled his eyes and rolled under the table.
