The clerk didn't know what Shopkeeper Liu was thinking now, and continued to say in a slightly regretful tone: "Although those weapons are very powerful, they are not something that our Huaxia Kingdom can make by itself.

According to His Excellency the President, the cost of each bullet that can kill the general is equivalent to one tael of silver. ”

"What? The cost of each bullet that can kill the general is only one or two pieces of silver? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency the President said it was really too expensive."

Shopkeeper Liu seemed to have thousands of mud horses floating by in his heart, and he sneered: "One or two pieces of silver can take the life of a general, you are still too expensive, if the generals of those countries hear it, I don't know if they will be so angry that they vomit blood and die." ”

"And those weapons that can destroy the heavens and the earth, and can destroy the city with one piece, even all the income of our Huaxia Kingdom in the current year cannot be exchanged for one.

Fighting a war is equivalent to throwing money at it, and it's not cost-effective at all.

Therefore, we in Huaxia will not take the initiative to find trouble with others, unless someone infringes on the legitimate interests of our Huaxia Kingdom or its members, we may take out those weapons and strike at the violators. ”

When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, his heart was almost numb, according to what the clerk said before, the weapon that destroys the world can destroy a city with one piece, what kind of power is this.

Although this Huaxia country can currently produce tens of millions of catties of grain a year, and it can't be exchanged for such a weapon, at least they have a place to change it, and other countries don't even have a place to change it.

It is conceivable that if one day, once the Huaxia Kingdom has such a weapon, even if their president does not take action, there will be no country in the world that dares to oppose the Huaxia Kingdom.

"Your Excellency the President has also said that although the economy is the foundation of strong force, if you do not have your own technology, if you cannot exchange those powerful weapons from others one day, and you cannot manufacture them yourself, all the power you have in front of you is like a tree without water and roots, and there will always be a time when it will be exhausted.

Therefore, after we have a certain economic foundation, we must develop our own science and technology.

Only when the science and technology we have mastered have reached that level can we have the ability to independently manufacture powerful weapons.

In this sense, our Huaxia country really cannot be called a strong country at present. ”

After sighing in his heart for a long time, Shopkeeper Liu said: "Your Excellency's standard is indeed too high, but I heard the young master say that all the official members of Huaxia Kingdom have reached the living conditions of not starving or freezing, and every family has surplus food.

In this case, even if it is not a strong country, at least the wealth of the people should be counted, right? ”

The clerk shook his head and said, "Your Excellency's prosperity is not just a matter of food and clothing.

He said that for a person, the problem of food and clothing is only the minimum guarantee of survival.

Survival and life are not the same, survival is just to ensure that you can live, and life is to live more easily on the basis of survival.

The wealth of the people in his mind not only refers to material wealth, but also includes spiritual wealth. ”

"Spiritually rich?"

"Yes, according to His Excellency the President, if a person's daily life is meaningful, purposeful, and passionate, and what he does can reflect the value of his existence, and the whole society can benefit from his contributions, then he is spiritually rich.

If a person becomes indifferent to everything in his daily life, he goes with the flow in everything he does, he no longer pursues the quality of life, he despairs of his future, and he does not want to bear the troubles and pains of life anymore.

In severe cases, such desperate thoughts can lead to behaviors that pose a threat to unrelated others, no longer treat others well, and even endanger one's own or others' lives.

Such a person is spiritually empty. ”

"Meaningful...... Purposeful...... The value of existence ......"

Shopkeeper Liu muttered about these things that he had never considered before, and he was full of emotion in his heart, it turned out that the first half of his life was really in vain!

The clerk continued: "Spiritual wealth must be supported by material wealth.

If a person worries about food and clothing, worries about trivial matters, and runs for survival every day, then he does not have the time and mind to enrich his spiritual wealth.

Therefore, material wealth is the foundation of spiritual wealth.

According to the standards of His Excellency the President, only one country where everyone does not worry about food and clothing, does not bother with trivial matters, and does not run for survival, and at the same time, everyone's life has meaning, purpose, and passion, and everyone uses a positive attitude and practical actions to realize the value of their lives, which can be called people's wealth.

At least the poor can choose their future life according to their own ideas, but poverty is equivalent to survival, and they have no right to choose their own future.

Therefore, according to such a standard, our Huaxia country has not even met the standard of the worst poor country and the weakness of the country mentioned by His Excellency the President. ”

"However, I heard the young master say that you official members of the Huaxia Kingdom can freely choose various jobs according to their own preferences, and they should meet the standard of His Excellency the President's 'poor people', right?"

"But by the people of His Excellency the President, I do not mean only the full members, but all the persons within the jurisdiction of a State.

Therefore, as long as we can often see those dying of hunger, freezing to death, or committing suicide or endangering society because of despair for the future, it means that our country has not yet escaped the category of 'poverty'. ”
