Chapter 112: Barter
Money, as a special commodity that acts as the equivalent of all commodities, replaces the original barter model, facilitates the exchange of goods and services, and facilitates the conversion of commodities into money for hoarding. In fact, from the moment money appeared, capitalism sprouted. Social wealth will not increase or disappear out of thin air, and what prompts it to continue to increase is the result of the accumulation of manual labor by generation after generation of working people in the long river of history. And the advent of money also facilitates the transfer of wealth.
For people who are unmanned and at different heights of the social pyramid, they see different scenery, even if it is the same "money", one party makes money, and one party loses money. At present, unmanned has become the most profitable industry.
From the shrinking active areas of the mirror planet, the momentum of unmanned siege is unstoppable. Zhou Zhiqi naturally understands that since the unmanned has been fully implemented, there is no point in dwelling on it, looking at the consequences of the "currency crash" deduced by the mirror planet, and this is only the beginning of the troubled times, it is inevitable that she will feel a little melancholy.
Seeing this, Lin Sen quipped: "What, do you want to go against the trend?" ”
"Can't you? As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties. ”
Lin Sen looked at her stubborn eyes, then pointed to one of the mirror planets and asked, "Can you see the clues in there?" ”
Zhou Zhiqi looked intently, there was almost no abnormal active area on that mirror planet, and the aura of commercial activities in it was thin, was it the result of decay caused by unmanned? But when I looked closely, I found that under the moisture of the drizzle, the cracks in the cracked earth were healing, and they seemed to be coming to life. Unmanned is hollowed out there, and even the use of money is extremely low.
Zhou Zhiqi pointed to the currency column and asked puzzledly: "How can you mark the price of goods without currency?" Is it possible to go back to the barter of antiquity? ”
Lin Sen clicked on the entrance of Siwo's market, and now the shops here not only cover all walks of life, but also produce a dazzling variety of goods, so he replied: "We can provide bartering services for nest friends, after all, these goods are from their hands, and they have the final say on the value." ”
Zhou Zhiqi seems to have figured out the key to this, in life, neighbors would barter and help each other, but urbanization has accelerated the flow of people, and these ties between people have been torn off by the unfamiliar environment. Judging from Wukong's tracking results, after the full implementation of unmanned, the demand for jobs plummeted and the population flow slowed down. The geographic network model of Siwo can just re-establish the bond between the people around you. For ordinary people, a person's life is nothing more than food, clothing, shelter and transportation, three meals a day. If today's daily needs can be met through barter, why should they be converted into money? Thinking of this, he nodded in agreement: "A few days ago, Xue Fei came back from an expedition and showed me that she didn't spend a penny on this trip, and it seems that it was achieved through barter. ”
"This trip of hers also inspired me. At the beginning, Lao Chen and I thought a lot, such as plans such as the Tightening Mantra, etc., but we couldn't stop the implementation of unmanned operation with great effort, in the final analysis, we did what we couldn't do. We should be based on ourselves, at least under the wave of unmanned, we can build a protective embankment here for our nest friends to deal with the next currency depreciation. ”
Zhou Zhiqi's eyes flashed and said: "Yes, everything has been bartered, even if the currency collapses, what can it do?" ”
Looking at Zhou Zhiqi, who was smiling again, Lin Sen swallowed back the words that had just come to his lips, and came step by step. Seeing the world with light eyes is much brighter.
