Before you know it, the time of the other world is at the end of June.

Due to solving the problem of insufficient power resources and computers, more than 20 people have passed the first phase of the test, and Tie Zhuang is one of these more than 20 people.

After passing the test, Wang Shuangming said to these people: "Although we have professional knowledge in the villa such as business, agriculture, industry, and commerce for you to choose, there are some questions that need to be explained to you clearly. The second is the knowledge of agriculture and business, how long you have to learn, how long you have to do things for the villa. This is something you have known before, and I will explain it again. If someone thinks it's not suitable now, you can opt out now, but you study here for free for a month, and the villa provides you with free room and board, so you need to work for the lodge for a month. Now you can choose whether to farm, to be a businessman, or to quit. ”

"Why does it have to be taught in the Lodge?" One student said confusedly.

"Because this knowledge has been taught to you, and you have no place to use it when you leave this villa. As far as work is concerned, the knowledge inside includes tools, craftsmen and industry, and almost all of these knowledge and skills are related to electricity. If you are not from the Lodge, why would the Lodge provide you with electricity and other related resources? Therefore, there is no point in imparting these knowledge and skills to people outside the lodge. ”

"What are the benefits of joining Huaxia Villa?" The student continued to ask.

"The first advantage is that you can get paid according to your job. As you know, the salary of our villa is paid in Huaxia currency, and every yuan of Huaxia currency can be exchanged for a pound of rice. The lowest salary in our mountain village belongs to those who are literate and less than 1,000 words, and only 150 catties of rice are paid every month. The current recipients of this salary in the lodge are mainly children under the age of ten. ”

"Children under the age of 10 are paid, right?" There was a wave of exclamation among the students.

"We also raised this issue at the time, thinking that these children under the age of 10 could not be of much help, and it was a little unsafe to receive such a salary. But the owner said, 'The child is the future of the villa, and this salary should be regarded as a benefit in the villa.' The standard was set directly. So, don't look at the children in the villa who are still breastfeeding, the wages they receive are not lower than those of the little officials in your Zigui City! ”

"Then if those of us who are literate in more than 1,000 words join the villa, how much will we be paid every month?"

"For every 1,000 words added to literacy, wages and benefits increased by 25 yuan. But when it comes to more than 5,000 words, it has something to do with everyone's job position, and different positions have different salaries. For example, Xiaobao, who has the highest salary in our villa, has a salary of 300 yuan per month. ”

"Then Mr. Wang, how much is your salary?" Several students asked curiously.

"Last month, my salary was adjusted to 250 Huaxia coins, but I saw that the master smiled a little inexplicably when he talked about this number, and I didn't know what it meant."

"Then what do you need to fully join the Villa?" Another student then asked.

"The requirements are actually very simple, one is not to damage the overall interests of our Huaxia Villa; The second is to abide by the laws of the villa. ”

"But our land deeds, house deeds and household registration are all in Zigui City, and the imperial grain and national tax are easy to handle, and you can also pay some grain on time, but there is no way to take care of the affairs in the villa when you serve the conscription every year."

When Wang Shuangming heard this, he laughed proudly and said: "Since we have become a member of our villa, the land and real estate in Zigui City will become the property of the villa, and we will convert it into Huaxia coins according to the market value and hand it over to you." You can exchange these Huaxia coins for corresponding daily necessities. As for where to live, since you didn't put much effort into building the villa, there is no free house, you can choose to rent, buy or build a house yourself. Of course, you are responsible for these costs, and we only provide the corresponding land. However, I suggest that you choose to rent a house, because renting a mobile house for a year only costs 200 Huaxia yuan, which is much more cost-effective than building it yourself. As for the taxes and forced labor in Zigui City, all of them are the responsibility of the villa, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

"And what about our family?"

Wang Shuangming said: "The family can also choose to work in the villa, but if they don't have any special skills and can't read more than 1,000 words, their salary can only stay at the level of 150 Chinese coins." ”

"Since the villa has borne all the taxes and conscription in the city, why do we still need to pay taxes and serve in the villa?"

"There is currently only one tax in the lodge, and that is the inheritance tax, which is half of all property."

"That's so high!"

"We also used to think it was too high, but the host told us a story. In the story, it is said that in a very remote village, there are dozens of families living, some of them grow food, some grow vegetables, and some hunt, and life is neither good nor bad. But one day, when the family was growing grain, they dug up an ancient tomb, and there were a lot of gold and silver coins in the ancient tomb, so the family became rich and stopped growing food. When the other people found out about this, they didn't want to do anything anymore, and they went everywhere to dig ancient tombs, but they really found them, so the whole village became rich, and every family had a lot of gold and silver coins. But it didn't take long for everyone's food to run out, and the vegetables were gone, and although there were a lot of gold and silver coins in their hands, they couldn't buy anything to eat, and life became more and more difficult. What do you think of this story? ”

"The tomb in this story refers to the inheritance of our ancestors, right?"

"Everyone has gold and silver coins, and it stands to reason that they should be rich and noble, but why is life getting more and more difficult?"

……

There are more and more questions, but the root cause of the problem has not been found.

Wang Shuangming said: "Actually, we didn't know why at that time, but the master told us: The so-called wealth has two meanings: first, wealth is what we need, so 'things are more expensive than needs'; food, clothing, houses and other necessities of life are wealth most of the time, but if these things are too much to be used up, the value of these wealth will be different, and it will become less valuable." Therefore, wealth has a second meaning, 'scarce things are precious'. 'Need' and 'rare' are the essence of wealth, and things that are not needed will not be wealth no matter how little they are, and things that can be obtained everywhere will not become wealth no matter how much they are needed, such as sunlight and air. The things we need are often reduced after they have been used, and we must work non-stop, using our own labor to get food, clothing, and use, so wealth originates from labor. Gold and silver coins are only a form of wealth, not wealth itself, and if there is no wealth created by labor to correspond to it, gold and silver coins will not be more valuable than ordinary stones. ”

"I understand that if everyone is staring at how much wealth their parents have left behind, no one will work hard, and if they don't work, they won't be able to create enough wealth, and no matter how much money they have, there will be times when they can't buy things."

"This is only one of the reasons, and there is another reason: the inheritance tax collected is mainly used for the construction of the villa and everyone's welfare, in fact, we all know that the inheritance tax has not received a single yuan at present, and the construction of the villa is basically invested by the owner. For example, those children and the elderly who have no way to work, they have not created wealth, but the master said that respecting the old and loving the young is the most basic conscience of a person, and it is also the cornerstone of social development......
