Chapter 550: Wealth is like a floating cloud to me
"Two cars are two cars. ”
Ren Xiaodie finally recovered from the heavy blow and said through gritted teeth, "Tenth sister, since I only got two carts of rewards, it's up to us to pick what to pack." ”
Ji Aojian said indifferently, "Whatever you want." ”
"That's great. "The backyard has been piled up with gold and silver, and I'm going to pick out the most valuable items." ”
Ji Lingxing asked, "What mountains of gold and silver?"
"Ninth sister, you come here. Ren leads her to the window, pushes open the second-floor window, points down, and says, "Look. ”
But I saw that the ground in the backyard was piled up everywhere. Countless clothes and jewelry, gold and silver utensils, bamboo, wood and tooth horns, jade porcelain and other precious things are not classified at all, and they are stacked in such a mess.
"It's a spectacular scene!" Ren said with a look of intoxication, "Every time I see it, I feel refreshed, as if I have lived ten more years." ”
"What?" Ji Lingxing was indifferent, "Isn't this scene similar to a landfill, it makes you excited." ”
"Lah, landfill?" Ren said in surprise as Fluttershy's jaw almost dropped, "Sister Nine, did I hear me right?"
"Fluttershy, you've fallen into the abyss of money worship and can't sink any further. Ji Lingxing sighed and said earnestly, "It's not too late to turn back early." ”
"Wait, I'm a money worshipper?" Ren Xiaodie cried out, "Ninth sister, these are the fruits of our hard shopping. After moving so many things back, there is no credit and hard work. There is no hard work and there is fatigue, and I have a sense of accomplishment. That's normal, right?"
"Since the ninth sister said it was garbage, it was garbage!"
Ji Aojian walked over and said sternly, "Fluttershy, you are a member of the Ministry of Rites, and you should be honest and honest. However, you are obsessed with these worldly things, which is simply full of the vulgar atmosphere of the nouveau riche, and there is still a bit of Geng Jie's style that a literati should have. Aren't you ashamed?"
"Okay, yes, you're right. Ren Xiaodie was too much to look up, and muttered, "Originally, these things were off the list, and we didn't bother to pack them, so we piled them up here, but they were just scraps, and it would be right to say that they were rubbish." ”
"What?" this time it was Ji Lingxing's turn to be taken aback. "None of these things are on the list?"
"Yes, yes, this is the least valuable part, of course not eligible to be on the marriage list. Ren nodded. "The things on the list, they are all used for the third sister's wedding, how dare I ask for it?"
"I can't make it to the list. How can you still buy so much?" Ji Lingxing said hatefully, "It's such a loser. What a waste! Why don't you donate it to fund the revolution? ”
"Yes, the ninth sister said that she wanted to donate. Then donate. Ji Aojian said without hesitation, "I fully support it." ”
"Hey, Tenth Sister!" Ren Xiaodie was anxious, "Why did you agree to donate?"
"Wealth is like a floating cloud to me, why don't you donate?"
"You donated all the floating clouds, so what about my share of the reward?"
"Thy reward, leave thee. ”
Ren Xiaodie breathed a sigh of relief, "That's fine. ”
"Xiaojian, what I want you to donate is not just items that are not on the list. Ji Lingxing looked at him with a solemn face, "The things on the list should also be donated." ”
"The ninth sister said that if she wants to donate, then donate, I don't have any opinion. ”
"That's right for you. Ji Lingxing said happily, "These wedding supplies are not an industry, and there will be no cash flow, so they can only be used for the revolutionary cause if they are donated." ”
"Wait a minute, why do you have to donate the items on the list?" Ren Xiaodie was so anxious that she almost jumped up, "Ninth sister, if the wedding supplies are gone, how can the third sister and the tenth sister get married?"
"Why can't you get married?" Ji Lingxing said indifferently, "They can learn the way of marriage of revolutionary youth." ”
Ren Xiaodie was confused, "What is the way the revolutionary youth get married?"
Ji Aojian explained, "That is, my third sister and I put on clean clothes and take a photo of the two, even if we are married." ”
"What?" Ren screamed, "It's that simple, and you can't live?"
"It's not that simple. Ji Lingxing hesitated for a moment and said, "You can also buy a few catties of candy eggs and send them to relatives and friends." ”
"Ninth sister, I can't help it!"
Ren Xiaodie felt that the whole person was going to faint, and the contrast from the dignified wedding of the Son of Heaven suddenly fell to the most grassroots wedding, which was so great that she almost gave birth to a heart attack on the spot, "If this marriage is without pomp, it will be completely meaningless!"
"What kind of pomp and circumstance do you need?" Ji Lingxing said strangely, "As long as the two of them get the certificate, it is a legal marriage, why do they have to engage in unnecessary extravagance and waste?"
"This is the marriage of two major capital groups, and pomp is indispensable. Ren Xiaodie explained hoarsely, "Ninth sister, you know that most of the marriages of wealthy families are a combination of interests, and registration and obtaining a certificate can't explain anything at all, it's common to get married today and divorce tomorrow." Therefore, a grand and grand wedding must be held to show the sincerity of the marriage to the outside world. ”
"What if there is no wedding?"
"That doesn't prove that the two families are in an alliance. Ren Xiaodie said with a sad face, "There is no need to announce this marriage from the beginning. ”
"I see, this is not a normal marriage at all, but a sign of the collusion of two groups of evil capitals, right?"
Fluttershy pinched her nose, "That's a good point. ”
"It's because of the different levels. Ji Aojian said, "Ordinary marriage, of course, don't think about it so much. A high-level marriage like ours is mixed with too many interest factors, and we must consider pomp and circumstance because of the social impact. ”
Ren Xiaodie interface, "In fact, it is the marriage of ordinary people, and it is becoming more and more pompous. ”
"Really?" Ji Lingxing frowned and asked, "Why do ordinary people pay attention to pomp?"
"I just know that. I don't know why. Fluttershy evasively.
Ji Aojian asked, "Ninth sister." You think about it first, why are more and more bankrupt families in our country in recent years?"
Ji Lingxing said without thinking. "That's because the country has been opened by guns, and the local economy has been hit by the capitalist commodity economy. ”
"But we had a few decades of peace and prosperity before us, and every family should have a considerable amount of savings, enough to support a period of crisis. The country has only been opened for a few years, so how can the tide of bankruptcies rise on such a large scale?"
Ji Lingxing was surprised, "Ah, why is that?"
"Because this is the natural nature of human beings, as long as they get a little richer, the consumption level will continue to rise. Ji Aojian said wistfully. "Especially in the peaceful and prosperous times, whenever there is any red and white happy event among the people, they will compare with each other, and they will do their best to show off their abilities, and even do not hesitate to borrow money. In this way, the foundation of every household has been hollowed out, and when the crisis comes, of course, there will be no resistance. ”
"This, this, this, ......" Ji Lingxing thought about it, and sure enough. I couldn't help but be speechless.
"So, the kind of revolutionary way of marriage you mentioned, Ninth Sister, only appears in the era when material conditions are most scarce, and it is not in line with human nature at all. Ji Aojian sighed faintly. "The entire population of a country borrows money to spend, overdraft the future, and spend the resources of the entire planet. Living your own comfortable life with a dream of death is the highest level. ”
"Are you talking about the Celestial Empire?"
"It's not. "Ji Ao Kendo. "But I hope that the Celestial Empire will be able to do it in two hundred years. ”
"Is this really human nature?" Ji Lingxing said with a frown, "but there are still more than a billion people in the world who are poor. The African people are still grazing, and as revolutionary youth, how can they be greedy for enjoyment at this time?"
"Ninth Sister, why can't anyone live a good life as long as someone else is not doing well?" Ji Aojian asked, "Do you think that it is necessary to redistribute the rich and poor on a global scale, can this be done?"
“...... Can't do it. ”
"Since I can't do it. Ji Aojian said sincerely, "Ninth sister, you have to allow some people to get rich first and enjoy it first." ”
"Well, and then what?"
"Then, naturally, the first rich will drive the later rich to achieve common prosperity. ”
"Xiaojian, you are a revisionist line!" Ji Lingxing said angrily, "For thousands of years, human beings have long had the distinction between the rich and the poor, that is to say, there have long been people who got rich first, but when has common prosperity been achieved?"
"Ninth sister, then how do you say we can achieve common prosperity?"
"Of course, it is to build a society in which everyone does what he can and distributes according to his work!"
However, there are many socialist experimenters who practice according to such a blueprint, and in the end they cannot avoid the phenomenon of laziness and slippery, laziness and dislike of work, and distribution according to work has become equal distribution, and everyone is unwilling to contribute, and in the end it is just common poverty. ”
"This is because the scope of their experiments is too small and has not yet created a real socialist state to speak for itself. Ji Lingxing said disdainfully, "So these people are just socialist utopians." ”
"As long as it fails, is it classified as a fantasy?" Ji Aojian sighed, "But I haven't found a successful model in the future life." ”
Ji Lingxing's eyes widened, "There is no future life?"
"Not really. ”
“...... You only know what will happen more than 100 years later, and it is not enough to explain the problem. Ji Lingxing gritted his teeth and said, "In two or three hundred years, maybe it will appear." ”
"If we don't know the outcome until the future, we don't know the right path yet. Ji Aojian said, "So Ninth Sister, we should put aside disputes, seek common ground while reserving differences, and retain the direction of diversified development." ”
"Well, yes, you have a point. Ji Lingxing said listlessly, "You don't have to donate your list, let's do a good job of the grand wedding between you and the third sister." ”
"How can you not donate this, since I said donate, then I must donate. ”
"Tenth sister, you can't make your own decisions. Ren Xiaodie jumped to her feet in a hurry, "The things on the list are all the third sister's, how can you make a decision for her?"
"It's fine. Ji Aojian was very calm, "I regard wealth as floating clouds, and the third sister naturally regards wealth as air, how can I care about these irrelevant things?"
"What's not trivial?" Ren exclaimed, "You've donated all the lists, isn't the wedding going to be canceled, do you want to play the third sister?"
"Who said I'm going to cancel my wedding, I can donate these things after I get married? Ji Aojian looked at a certain official of the Ministry of Rites with a look of disdain, "Can't you figure out such a simple thing, you idiot." (To be continued.) )
