Chapter VIII The Etiquette System
Wang Zhiyuan sandwiched a bun, gritted his teeth slightly, and suddenly the soup overflowed, and his mouth was full of oil. X He couldn't help but praise: "Victoria, your skills in making steamed buns are getting better and better." ”
"Really? Thank you! Victoria smiled happily, and she sat down at the table with her apron and enjoyed her breakfast.
"Don't praise her, she'll only make buns!" Zhao Chao disliked it angrily. But he has one on his left hand and one on his right hand, and he doesn't even care about his son.
The little guy Zhao Ting was really greedy, sitting in the children's chair and shouting, but no one seemed to pay attention to him.
The two Chinese men never expected that they would all end up asking for a Caucasian woman as their wives. However, after living for a long time, Caucasian and yellow people are actually similar......
While eating, several people discussed the current state of society.
"Overall it was good. But I feel a little embarrassed to take free things, and my heart is not very steady...... "Zhao Chao's wife Victoria said.
"Yes, I feel this way too, so it's better to buy it with new dollars, it's really ...... to use it."
While eating, a few people felt that the existing way of thinking was difficult to change, but it seemed that there had been some changes......
"Money" seems to have become less important, and rich people don't have much use in the Noah...... Besides, there are no particularly rich people here.
"Money" does not bring social status, at most it can only buy more daily necessities. The whole phenomenon of money worship has completely disappeared, and the new human civilization advocates "wisdom" and "knowledge", and ordinary people only respect people with wisdom and knowledge.
I don't know when such a social atmosphere was formed...... It seems to come naturally.
A few people chatted and chatted, and suddenly they talked about the failed "social experiments" on the earth in the past.
In the history of human beings for thousands of years, there have been similar social experiments, the most typical of which is the "New Harmony Commune".
In 1824, the thinker Robert Owen bought 30,000 acres of land in India, built the "New Harmony Commune", and began a great ** attempt. The commune implements the principles of "public ownership of the means of production, equality of rights, democratic management, and sharing of the fruits of labor." All members perform their duties and do their best. ”
From this point of view, the goals of the "New Harmony Commune" are very similar to those of Yu Yifeng. But this is something that was put forward in the 19th century, and it has to be said that these thinkers were great pioneers.
At the beginning of its founding, the commune presented a thriving scene. Owen's experiment attracted wide attention in the United States and Western Europe, and more than 1,000 people participated in this experimental activity, and even some well-known people in the United States at that time came here and enthusiastically participated in the construction of the new village.
However, the "New Harmony Commune" is not isolated from the world. It was surrounded by capitalism as a whole, and the people who came to the commune were of all kinds, with all kinds of aims and ideas. As a result, various conflicts soon arose among the members, and they became not as "harmonious" as expected.
The members gradually became lazy and unwilling to engage in manual labor, and the output of the commune as a whole began to fall below consumption. Over time, the overall economic situation gradually exceeded its means. Four years later, the "New Harmony Commune" declared bankruptcy and the experiment failed......
“…… But our situation is a little different. ”
Wang Zhiyuan hiccuped, and then said: "At least the current social productivity and people's ideological consciousness are much higher...... And our system is more perfect. ”
"People in the 19th century didn't have any ideals, and they didn't have that much consciousness. In contrast, we still have ideals in our new human civilization......"
"External crises are at least the driving force behind our progress......"
After breakfast, each head to their respective workplaces to start their day.
……
Yu Yifeng looked at the report on the table with a strange look on his face.
There was no robbery in the worst of the 25 communities, and nothing like the robbery happened.
After all, the government has fully published all the "rules of the game". Even the "New Harmony Commune" of the 19th century can last for 4 years, let alone the current new human civilization.
The citizens of the Noah are obviously more comprehensive and intelligent than those of the 19th century. They know where their bottom line is, and they know what the bottom line is that the government can tolerate.
More often than not, people follow the rules of the game set by the government.
Even if a few want to be bold, you have to pat your chest and ask yourself if you have the guts. In the past, a few rumor-mongers were once imprisoned, but under Calvin's spiritual reform, they became completely honest people......
Yu Yifeng's eyes looked at a few names, these people were all candidates who might cause trouble in his mind.
But these people are actually not bad, even if they take some supplies, they are still below the average, and there is nothing outstanding about it.
The average, which is the total number of goods divided by the total number of people. People seem to be invariably and spontaneously reluctant to touch this number. People began to carefully control how much they used their resources so as not to use someone else's share......
Everyone feels that using other people's things seems to be very unqualified, especially when everything is open and fair.
Moreover, there is another strange situation: although the price is very expensive, there are still many people who are willing to shell out new dollars to buy resources from the government. They feel that they can use what they have bought with peace of mind......
This phenomenon was not expected by the top level of the government, but if you think about it, it should be the case.
Everyone didn't want others to think that they were of low quality and didn't want to receive more supplies. They are cautious about using free things, for fear of being misunderstood, and they are confident and bold when they use what they buy.
This is because people's mainstream thinking is still stuck in the concept of "private ownership" and has not been changed.
"According to this trend, it has become evenly distributed." Yu Yifeng muttered to himself, he grabbed his hair, feeling a little troublesome.
According to this situation, people's quality is generally good, but now this kind of equal distribution is not what Yu Yifeng wants.
Many people are reluctant to even touch the average, they would rather buy something from the government at a high price. As a result, the total material resources of each community are simply not used up, and the living conditions of the people are even worse than expected.
"Allocation on demand" is not evenly distributed, after all, everyone's needs are different.
It's like cooking a pot of rice, some people have a big appetite and eat more, and some people have a less appetite for snacks, which is reasonable.
The key is to let every citizen know what their "needs" are. And in the case of a limited amount, everyone needs to control their "needs" a little, control **......
There's so much to learn about it, and there's no quantitative way to calculate it. Even Yu Yifeng felt that this problem was a little headache.
In ancient times, there was a saying called "self-denial and retribution", which can also be compared to the current situation. Everyone has to rein in their ** a little bit to conform to the overall norm.
This situation is a bit similar to the concept of the Green Light Man......
If Yu Yifeng and the other high-level officials of the new government are allowed to see the political system of the Green Light people, they will find that they have inadvertently achieved "**"?!
The survival needs of the green light people are actually very small, they can survive with sunlight, water, and air, and their civilization has never had such a thing as "currency" from ancient times to the present. Even the term "economy" was not put forward until the modern era.
They believe that as long as it conforms to the "etiquette", it should be vigorously developed, of course, science and technology are also one of them......
I have to say that the system of the Green Light People seems to be very peculiar, but this strange system has easily accomplished things that are difficult for human society to complete...... r
