With the arrival of winter in another world, the weather gradually gets colder.

All kinds of construction projects are also being carried out in an orderly manner under the flat management mode of the Ministry of State-owned Assets.

The role of the network information platform is increasing, and Wei Minsheng has hardly participated in the construction of the Huaxia State except for buying some materials in the real world.

Wu Guangliang has been in this other world for several months, and the Guangliang Surveying and Mapping Company is also operating very efficiently under the management of the talents he has personally cultivated, constantly improving the digital map information of the existing land in Huaxia.

After all, Wu Guangliang is from the real world, and he will definitely not be able to adapt to leaving that environment for too long, but now is not the time for him to go home, because his appearance may bring trouble to the newly stabilized life of the family.

Therefore, Wei Minsheng took Wu Guangliang to Tuvalu to the small island built by Longhao in Tuvalu for a vacation.

Lying on the shipwreck on Nyurakita Island basking in the sun, Wu Guangliang was full of emotion, what he experienced some time ago was like a dream.

Wei Minsheng, the person who became the master of his life by mistake, only took two years to create a new country and build a city that surprised even himself in a world where the problem of food and clothing had not been solved.

But what did he pay so much for?

Taking advantage of this rare leisure time, Wu Guangliang asked Wei Minsheng: "Big brother, according to the productivity of that world, except for vegetables, grains and wood, there is almost nothing that can create income for us.

If I had such a world, I would have lived a very happy life.

But why would you invest your hard-earned money in that backward world? ”

Wei Minsheng looked at the waves rolling in the sun, and said a little gloomily: "For freedom, but also for the dream in my heart." ”

Wu Guangliang carefully recalled everything in Huaxia Kingdom, and gradually discovered many things that were different from the real world.

These things have also appeared in the real world, but most of them have disappeared for various reasons.

I didn't understand why, but now I finally understand that the existence of those things requires a specific kind of soil, and in reality there is no such soil that can allow them to thrive.

Wu Guangliang, who understood this, no longer thought about everything in Huaxia from the perspective of a bystander, but really integrated himself into it to think about the future of Huaxia Kingdom.

It's a state of mind shift, from passive to active thinking.

Half a day later, Wu Guangliang said: "Those minerals from another world may be a new source of economy, and if they are not developed early, the construction of the new city will be limited by the supply of building materials, and it will not be able to speed up at all." ”

Wei Minsheng said: "The coal industry is now in serious surplus, the steel industry is also fluctuating in the wind and rain, and oil is already approaching the cost price internationally, but domestic policies have limited our involvement."

The mining of rare metals such as gold and silver can easily cause irreversible damage to the environment.

So, don't do these minerals. ”

"But if we don't want those minerals, how can we get wealth from the real world and then promote the development of another world?"

Wei Minsheng shook his head and said, "Wealth, what is the real wealth, maybe not many people in this world figure it out." ”

Wu Guangliang said: "Fixed assets should be regarded as wealth, such as real estate and land, which can be exchanged for money.

The currencies of the economic powers should also be wealth, as they can be exchanged for goods.

Everything that has an exchange value should be wealth, which I used to learn when I was studying. ”

"Something that can be exchanged is wealth.

So how do you explain the disappearance of wealth in the exchange process? ”

"Will wealth ever disappear?"

"Hehe, are there fewer real-world examples?

The evaporation of the market value of stocks, the fall in the price of fixed assets, and the losses caused by natural and man-made disasters.

It has taken thousands of years to find a wealth that can hold its value, but now it seems that it has failed.

The development and change of the productive forces will lead to violent oscillations in a certain or entire industry, and the wealth invested in these industries will become extremely unstable.

Some wealth has disappeared, and some wealth has increased, and everything can only be determined by luck and providence.

All of these phenomena mean that gold, silver, fixed assets, and currencies are only a manifestation of wealth, not wealth itself.

You see the news where world leaders come together to boost the economy.

But if the economy only creates wealth by holding a few meetings, shouting a few slogans, or increasing investment, then there will be no poor people in this world. ”

"And what do you think wealth should be?"

"I think that wealth should be a human need.

And people's needs are different, so there are all kinds of different wealth.

One type of wealth was created in lieu of an infinite number of wealths.

But the amount of natural money is certain, and it simply cannot meet the growing needs of people, so there are paper money.

However, if the amount of banknotes artificially produced is not controlled, it will also cause a decline in the net wealth of banknotes, causing losses to those who hold banknotes.

Therefore, neither natural currencies such as gold and silver nor paper money are ideal representations of wealth. ”

"And what do you think is the ideal representation of wealth?"

"Since wealth is a human need, the amount of wealth should be related to two factors.

One factor is the number of people alive, and the other is the size of these people's needs.

The total demand of all living people determines the total amount of wealth in the world at this moment. ”

"But there are places where people who die also have needs, such as the funeral industry, which is an industry where dead people can cut off a layer of skin."

In fact, it is not the needs of the dead, but the needs of their relatives.

If how to do it is the last wish of the deceased before his death, it is also his need when he is alive.

If he left an inheritance to his relatives before his death, then only his needs were fulfilled by his relatives.

If he did not have any inheritance before he died, it was not up to his relatives to decide what to do, so could he come back to life and tell him again if he was not satisfied?

Therefore, even if it is necessary to spend money on the dead, it is the needs of the living. ”

"According to you, isn't it true that the more people there are, the greater the total amount of wealth?"

This is true, but the total amount of wealth will not exceed the needs that society can meet.

If the population is too large to exceed the capacity of society, it means that the needs of the individual are suppressed.

In such a situation, the total amount of wealth remains unchanged, but the effective demand of people passively decreases. ”
