Chapter 346: Not Worthy of Thinking of Su Nuan
She pretended to think, and only spoke softly when Ling Yun's patience was almost exhausted.
"You see, the food and meat now are all provided by me. They don't have anything in their private hands."
"Once people lose their private property, they become no different from slaves. Their thoughts stop, their actions become slack, and to put it bluntly, their cultural progress ceases."
"From now on, Sifang City...will be nothing more than a soulless, dead city."
Ling Yun blinked his eyes and said, "Sister-in-law is right, but why don't you tell me the solution?"
Su Nuan said slowly: "The solution I came up with... is to form a self-circulating system."
Ling Yun was dumbfounded, because he understood each word, but he didn't understand them when they were put together. What is a self-circulating system?
Su Nuan saw Ling Yun's staring eyes and knew that he didn't understand.
So she took out paper and charcoal from her backpack, sat on the ground, drew a circle with the charcoal, and then divided the circle into several segments with clockwise arrows.
In the middle of the circle, she wrote the character for "person," then pointed at it and said, "People, people from the north."
Then she wrote below the circle, "Food, Shelter, Property, Trade, Abundance, Progress."
After writing the word "progress", it just happens to end with the word "food".
Ling Yun stared at the picture intently, and he felt like his mind exploded with a bang.
This is indeed a circular chain, and each one is indispensable. The most basic food seems to have nothing to do with progress, but progress cannot be achieved without the support of food.
Su Nuan said: "Actually, this circle can also be reversed."
Ling Yun was confused again. If it was reversed, it seemed unrelated and there should be no connection.
Su Nuan pointed at the word "progress" and began to explain.
“As people progress, they can invent better ways to cook and make food taste better.”
"To put it the other way around, if people want to eat more delicious food, they have to research better cooking methods, which promotes progress."
“As people progress, they become spiritually enriched, which allows them to develop better ways to accumulate wealth.”
“When wealth increases, transactions will occur. When transactions increase, people’s private property will increase.”
"When they have too much private property and have nowhere to store it, they will consider moving to a bigger residence."
"People love to enjoy life. When they live well, they start thinking about eating well, so this cycle can be reversed."
Ling Yun looked at Su Nuan in amazement. Such great wisdom was actually possessed by a little woman.
He instantly felt that Su Nuan was glowing, and her whole body was filled with the light of a saint.
This made him feel that she was unattainable, and that a mortal like him was not worthy of even dreaming about Su Nuan.
But the next second, Su Nuan said, "As the ones who can control this circle, we must be the biggest beneficiaries, so let's happily spin this circle, and then we can lie down and count the money!"
Ling Yun stared at Su Nuan's money-obsessed look in a daze, and didn't look away for a long time.
It seems that I am worthy of Su Nuan, who is so down-to-earth.
After Su Nuan finished enjoying her beautiful future, she looked at Ling Yun and found that he was staring at her without blinking.
She touched her nose awkwardly, "Why? Do you think I'm bad?"
Ling Yun's eyebrows curved, and then he laughed out loud, "Hahaha..."
Su Nuan was a little overwhelmed by his laughter. Was this guy crazy? Or did he think what he said was a joke?
In any case, Su Nuan was annoyed by the laughter. She snorted, stood up and left.
As she walked, she muttered to herself, "Why are there so many holes down there? Will it be possible to build a house on top of it?"
"Why don't we move to another place? Otherwise, it will be bad if the city sinks in the future."
"I'll dig it up in the future anyway, so I might as well just give up on this place."
The space spirit quickly comforted him: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, no one will replace you if you get angry."
Su Nuan responded helplessly, "But there are coal mines and jade mines here. There are too many things. If I don't dig, I will feel uncomfortable."
"But if we dig it all up, the ground will be full of holes. It would be too dangerous to build a city on it."
The space spirit said, "Hai Lan has an ultrasonic geological detector, which will definitely help you choose a safe place for your city."
"As for the area behind the cliff, it's definitely unusable. It's already riddled with holes before we even started digging."
Su Nuan sighed, "I originally wanted to build a nested city, but now I can only build a watermelon vine city."
A road connects several cities, just like a vine bearing several melons.
The Space Spirit said, "That's good too. We can build other mechanisms along the way, and the main city will be safer."
Su Nuan could only comfort herself in this way. She walked a few steps and muttered to herself, "I still have to do some hard labor when I get back. After all, it's not that easy to get my internal circulation system running."
The Space Spirit said, "Let's build some resettlement housing first so that they can all start from the same point."
"Then you implement a point system, where a person is rewarded based on how many points of work he or she completes in a day."
"When there are more incentives, they can move out of the resettlement housing if they want to buy a better house."
"In this way, the lazy can only live a basic life, while the diligent will become richer and richer."
"By the way, the copper coin issue needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Only by showing them the money will they be motivated."
Su Nuan nodded repeatedly, taking everything the space spirit said into account.
But there were still some difficulties. She asked, "Are the copper coins the old ones or are they newly minted? If they are newly minted, we don't have the tools to mint coins."
The space spirit said, "Don't you have steel ingots? Use them to make some molds, and then melt the original copper coins to cast them. That would be quick."
Su Nuan said awkwardly, "But that steel ingot is too hard for us to carve."
The Space Spirit laughed and said, "Have you forgotten the machine that presses steel ingots in the factory? Have Hai Lan adjust it and make a mold, but you need to draw the pattern for the copper coin yourself."
Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. Since she could do it, why should she be so pretentious?
"Okay, I understand."
With the exclusive currency of the North, we can promote the internal circulation of the economy. Then we can open a money shop and produce gold and silver ingots ranging from one penny to one hundred taels, which we can exchange for copper coins.
Su Nuan was fantasizing about the future, but she didn't look at the road and bumped into a pillar.
"ah……"
The Space Spirit rubbed her nose; it hurt just looking at it.
Su Nuan covered her nose and raised the torch to check ahead.
It was a black pillar with scales, and it gleamed in the light of the torches.
"What is this? The scales are so real, and you can even pick them up!"
Su Nuan muttered as she used her fingernails to pick at the black scales. She was able to pick up some, but none of them fell off.
The space spirit suddenly said in a trembling voice: "You, you, you... look... up... up..."
Su Nuan raised her eyebrows. The space spirit was fearless, so what could scare her so much?
