Although Li Yulong's thoughts and intentions were confirmed, Chen Xin still did not let him into his own shelter.

He just let Li Yulong enter the maintenance room so that he could sit down and talk to him about it.

"Brother Xiao Chen, you said that I want the right to issue currency, but you have wronged me, and the government is still there! How could such a thing be allowed to be touched by private individuals. Although Li Yulong is ambitious, his mind is still very clear, and he does not feel that he can do whatever he wants now that it is the end of the world: "What I want is only the right to mint coinage and not the right to issue, and it doesn't matter if there is such a thing, the real core interest is that there is a market and there is commercial circulation." ”

Hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help laughing: "You have seen it very thoroughly, money is money only when it flows, and hoarding materials that can only be called production." ”

However, while praising Li Yulong, Chen Xin was still very curious and asked: "I can understand that you want to establish a commercial circulation, but now that the total number of materials in the hands of the survivors is limited, and without social production, these people will sooner or later exhaust the wealth they have, and the market will soon dry up, how do you plan to solve this problem?" ”

"Brother Xiao Chen, the ground source heat pump you made can be used to build a planting greenhouse, right?" Regarding this question, Li Yulong just smiled at Chen Yu and asked another question.

"Growing greenhouses? Of course, the ground source heat pump can continuously output heat sources to maintain the ...... of the planting greenhouse," Chen Xin instinctively answered this question, and suddenly realized halfway through his words: "I see, the plantation economy, the exploitation of surplus value." ”

Seeing that Chen Xin understood his thoughts, Li Yulong suddenly touched his head with some embarrassment: "Hehe, Brother Chen, it's ugly for you to say that, I'm not a capitalist, I'm just letting others live while absorbing a little oil and water myself." ”

Chen Xin and Li Yulong could understand what the other party was saying, but Qin Lan listened a little as if he didn't understand.

She can understand what Chen Xin means when he says that the market will dry up soon, demand determines value, and what survivors need most now is all kinds of survival materials, which are not only just needs, but also the most valuable wealth.

However, each survivor has a limited amount of survival materials in their hands, and will gradually deplete over time.

It's as if everyone's money is limited, and if you can't make more money, you will run out of money.

Just understood what Chen Xin said about the market drying up, but Qin Lan still didn't understand what he and Li Yulong meant by planting greenhouses, as well as Chen Xin's plantation economy and exploitation of surplus value, which he had only heard in high school ideological and political classes, made Qin Lan feel confused.

"Ah Xin, what the hell are you talking about?" If you don't understand, she asked, Qin Lan directly asked Chen Xin about her doubts.

"Sister Qin, we didn't say anything, I just want to get a planting greenhouse, and I need Brother Xiao Chen to provide a ground source heat pump." Li Yulong hurriedly explained, but he was obviously fooling Qin Lan, and he didn't want Qin Lan to figure out what was going on.

However, Chen Xin only glanced at him, and then explained to Qin Lan: "Ah Lan, you should understand that if a market wants commercial circulation, it must have a steady stream of commodities to trade, right?" ”

"Of course, if there are no commodities to trade, there will be no commercial circulation, and I still understand this truth." Qin Lan nodded, indicating that she understood.

Seeing Chen Xin start to explain to Qin Lan, Li Yulong's face suddenly became a little ugly, but he still resisted the desire to say something, and just looked at Chen Xin with a cold face to explain his intentions to Qin Lan.

"Ah Lan, since you can understand this, then you can understand that with the current environment, the materials in the hands of the survivors are limited, and except for the new material output in the hands of the government, the other survivors can be regarded as having no production capacity at present." Chen Xin could naturally sense the change in Li Yulong's demeanor, but he still continued: "Therefore, if you really want to build a trading platform and establish commercial circulation, the supply of goods is very important.

And now, for all the survivors, the most valuable thing is survival supplies, and the most important thing for survivors is nothing more than food and heating.

The ground source heat pump I can make is the heating equipment, and after Xiaolong gets the ground source heat pump from me, he can sell a survivor in need, but this is just a hammer deal, and the profit is too small.

Therefore, Xiaolong, who wants to make more profits, plans to use the ground source heat pump equipment to build a planting greenhouse, and then hire survivors to work for him, produce more food, and then sell the food to the survivors, so that he can obtain a steady stream of benefits. ”

"But why would everyone buy his food?" Qin Lan understood Chen Xin's explanation, but she had new doubts: "Wouldn't you be able to get food if you go to work in an official shelter?" ”

"Good question!" Chen Xin praised it, just like a clever speaker meeting the audience, he stood up and explained: "If he just grows food to sell, then he doesn't need to build a trading platform at all, he only needs to sell these foods."

But only primitive and stupid slave owners would make money in such an inefficient way, and smart capitalists would take a more efficient way to make money.

If I were a dragon, I would hire a group of people to work for me, and then after growing the food, I would give everyone more food than they needed, and that would become a surplus of means of production, which could obviously be traded.

If the people under him have the materials that can be traded, then commerce can be circulated, but this is not enough, because all the means of production still only flow in a closed loop, just from me to the workers, and then from the workers to me.

I won't make any money from this, so I need to add another counterparty between me and the worker, the other survivors. ”

Chen Xin explained to Qin Lan, and at the same time, his hands began to gesture, pointing at Li Yulong and saying: "Assuming that Xiaolong is the other survivor, Ah Lan, you are my worker, Ah Lan, the food you grow every day has a lot of surplus in addition to satisfying your own consumption."

Although I 'generously' gave you enough food to eat, the total amount of food you produced was still far greater than the amount I paid you, and the extra part was the surplus value that I exploited.

At this time, I can use this surplus value to trade with other survivors like Xiaolong, and exchange food for the supplies I need, so that there will be more business in the market.

But that's not all, because the materials I got in exchange for Xiaolong are far greater than my survival needs, and at this time, I can sell these materials to Ah Lan.

However, this is too inefficient, I can let Xiaolong directly sell these materials to you, and let Ah Lan also participate in the market circulation of the part of the food in your hands except for the necessities of survival.

In this way, a three-way trading market is formed, and as long as I maintain the existence of the greenhouse and the trading platform, I can make new profits far from the future, and this is the most efficient method of exploitation, you seem to be getting a lot of money, but in reality you still have nothing. ”
