Chapter 55: A Turning Point in Civilization

As time slowly passed, everything was going according to plan, and there was a sudden annoyance that plagued Yi Feng.

"Are people saving more and more money?" Yu Yifeng rubbed his head and muttered quietly.

As the output of the Noah increases, the new government is bound to raise people's living standards. With the current conditions, it is not suitable for people to live frugally.

The easiest way to do this is to lower prices. The price of some basic materials began to decline, and what used to cost 10 yuan may now only cost 5 yuan. Even the prices of some luxury goods have begun to come down to make them affordable for people.

That is, for the same amount of new coins, people can buy more things.

According to Yu Yifeng's idea, the reason for the price reduction is to promote consumption, improve people's quality of life, and make everyone live a more prosperous life. But I didn't expect that many people are still living the same life as before. They go back and forth between offices, canteens and dormitories every day, living a three-point life, but they generally believe that they are doing well and do not need to improve their quality of life......

Workaholics, all of them are workaholics! Many people consume little, don't need to enjoy, and work like crazy. This phenomenon is always a good thing, but it also reveals a strange meaning.

As a result, they spend very little each month and are able to save a lot of money every month. Well, it's okay to save money, but the new government simply won't have any more high-priced goods! The most expensive thing is the house, a set of tens of thousands of Singapore dollars...... There is nothing more expensive!

What to do? Is it the introduction of high-priced cars? There are also supporting public transportation facilities in such a small part of the living area, but in fact, there is not much need for a car.

Come to think of it, there is no better product to launch......

This also leads to the question, if people buy a house, they will find that even if they have money, they have nothing to buy, can they buy a lot of food and keep it at home?

As a result, Yu Yifeng's economic system fell into a dilemma, and after people bought a house, they had no greater pursuit, and they had no motivation to make money.

Although it has not yet reached this stage, if the problem is found in advance, it should be solved in time, which is what Yu Yifeng has always done.

Suppose a person has S$10,000 in his hand, and at the current price level, even if he does not work, he can live a good life for several years even if he eats, drinks and has fun every day. This is not a good sign, because people may be less motivated to work because of inertia......

Yu Yifeng's brows furrowed tightly, he wanted to find a good solution, and said to himself: "Either launch more high-priced goods, or ......"

Beside him, Professor Sean, who had a lot of materials, listened to this question and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, in fact, you can't look at it like that, you still look at the problem with traditional capitalist thinking. Do you still think that the purpose of making money is for material things, and if there is no material pursuit, people's motivation to make money is reduced......"

"From a capitalist point of view, it is. But from the point of view of communism, this is the first stage towards extreme prosperity, and it is inevitable to go through! ”

Yu Yifeng sighed and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Professor Sean pondered for a while and was organizing his language. At present, he is mainly responsible for the work of the Propaganda Department, and he will also be responsible for the work of the Ministry of Education in the future. After all, when it comes to people's thought management, Professor Sean is the best choice for the Noah.

"People are still in a very good state of mind...... "People are transitioning to the stage of 'working for ideals.'" Although most of it is caused by some external incentives, we need to find a way to fix this phenomenon and make it a permanent atmosphere! ”

The ideological propaganda methods adopted by the new government are not hard-line and offensive political propaganda, but gentle and imperceptible.

For example, in each issue of the newspaper, the progress of the project and the progress made during the week will be published, so that people have a great sense of participation and achievement.

There are only 50,000 people on the Noah, and many of the jobs are done by themselves, and they have experienced it themselves, and the sense of accomplishment of the slow progress of civilization makes people as excited as if they were beaten with blood, and many people are more willing to devote themselves to these jobs.

Second, the way in which the capable people take up positions also fully mobilizes people's enthusiasm.

If you do it, you can go down, and you can almost do your best, so that the unspoken rules of the workplace become invisible. Many people study frantically outside of their salaries to "recharge" themselves and increase their level of knowledge.

Third, all the great scientists and engineers with excellent character and learning are also leading by example and influencing all the masses with their fanatical enthusiasm for work......

Under the influence of this series, the ideology of the entire civilization has been subtly shaped more squarely. People's minds began to become pure, and the pursuit of material things was not as high as before.

There is another thing that Yu Yifeng didn't expect, and that is his mental ability...... That sun-like feeling invisibly influences people to be more active, more proactive, more passionate and energetic. Perhaps, this also accounts for a large proportion.

At this time, Professor Sean continued, "It is very normal for every civilization that is moving towards extreme wealth to have abundant material resources and endless money in their hands. In other words, if you can spend all your money, how can you say that you are extremely rich? ”

"At this turning point, the productivity of the entire civilization is bound to be greater than the demand, and everyone's money is basically not enough. At this point, the monetary system gradually loses its effectiveness. ”

"The characteristics of communism are that the society is highly civilized, the material is extremely rich, and people do their best to distribute according to their needs...... A monetary system is not necessarily necessary. This is a very critical moment, and if people are lazy because of the abundance of supplies, our communism will fail. ”

Yu Yifeng pondered: "You mean, now we are at a critical turning point?" If people are lazy because they are rich, our plan fails? ”

His head began to work, and there was a feeling of cold sweat. Now the entire new human civilization is like rushing to the level, if it doesn't go up, it will go down, if it really can't go up, its new currency economic system may collapse, and the society will also be in turmoil.

Sean also became serious: "That's right, now is a critical period for the new human civilization to move towards great prosperity. At present, people's thinking is not bad, work enthusiasm is very great, to maintain this atmosphere all the time, the formation of a strong inertia, our success rate will be greatly increased! ”

"All of this needs guidance, and that's what we've been doing for a while...... We must continue to increase people's sense of honor, social responsibility and participation. At the same time, the importance of the new currency should be slowly diluted, and finally, the monetary system should be almost abandoned. ”

"In fact, there is no need to worry too much, people at this stage already have enough ideals, and many people have a fanatical mood and can work spontaneously. This is a very good phenomenon, and people's laziness is slowly being eradicated. Professor Sean said as he thought.

Yu Yifeng thought about it, at this stage, people's prosperity is actually natural. It is impossible for people to spend their monthly salary just by spending normally, so they are saving more and more.

In fact, he doesn't need to think about how to promote consumption at all, what he needs to think about is how to slowly dilute the new currency system, so that people no longer work for "salary". These currencies will be "wiped out" in the end!

The price of daily necessities will go down, or even for free, and people will not need Singapore dollars to get what they want.

However, even when a large number of materials can be easily obtained, people can still work spontaneously, study hard, and maintain this atmosphere for a long time, and the entire new human civilization will transition to the state of "working for ideals", and the distance from communism will be close!

Yu Yifeng thought about it, and finally had some certainty, once this atmosphere was maintained for a long time, it would become a kind of inertia to move forward, and it would not disappear for a while.

Everyone else is working hard, and people who want to be lazy will also work hard unconsciously, which is a mutual influence.

After going through so many things, the working atmosphere on the Noah is very fanatical, and many people work overtime every day without pay, just for the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment in their hearts, and they don't mention wages at all.

If everyone can maintain this state for a long time, and after getting used to it, they can completely eliminate their own laziness, and the existence of new coins is really unnecessary.

When the time comes, everything will start to be available for free, and people will really be able to do what they can and take what they need...... This is really an ideal society, Yu Yifeng's eyes are shining, this is their common ideal, and now they finally have the possibility of success!
