Chapter 2402: History Porter
The emergence of a large number of banknotes made both primitive people and old humans very happy, because it was indeed much more convenient to exchange items with equivalent currencies. Some things that were not used and not easy to store could be exchanged for currency and stored until they were needed.
Savings absorbed a large amount of currency issued by the rich second generation, without causing currency depreciation and soaring prices. However, as a currency, either the currency is issued according to the amount of materials, which is linked to precious metals such as gold, or to strategic materials such as oil. There is no such thing as the rich second generation issuing currency without any basis.
The reason why the currency issuance was so smooth was entirely because everyone believed in Ishigami Senku's technological capabilities and believed that he could continuously accumulate more materials and continuously improve everyone's surplus. It all came from Ishigami Senku's personal charm.
So Duran said that it was very simple to destroy such a currency, as long as Ishigami Senku was kidnapped.
Shishi Wang Si agreed, because he really had a deep fear of the old world, and that fear was deep in his bones.
At this time, the primitive tribe was full of punk atmosphere. There was a huge factory by the lake. Every day, a large number of workers worked here to build a sailboat that could sail far away. At the same time, the preparations for the hot air balloon were becoming more and more intense. After observing the weather, the rich second generation decided that the departure date was getting closer and closer.
What has not been decided yet is the number of people on the balloon. The rich second generation must go, because he is the only one who has experience in operating a hot air balloon. Chrom also wants to go, although Ishigami Senku originally disagreed, because there were only two scientists in the tribe. If both of them went, their careers would collapse halfway if an accident happened.
However, Chrom insisted and finally decided to go with both of them. This balloon expedition is crucial, and they must find oil before they stop.
With the village as the center, the primitive highway radiates to the surrounding areas, stream water wheels, mines, logging sites, wood processing plants, shipyards... All wooden carts are creaking and transporting goods under the push of tough men. This area is as busy as an ancient industrial area, and everyone has their own work.
There were not enough people, not enough at all, but Ishigami still resisted the temptation to use the petrification bonus, and tried to exert their energy with this limited population.
At least now they have a professional chef who can process the simple ingredients of the primitive era to the extreme, so that everyone can have a good meal after work.
But at this time, the primitive people were threatened, because the tough guys who had received high school education were more efficient and had stronger comprehension ability. The only ones who could barely compare with the tough guys were Krom and the old craftsman who had always been with Ishigami. Other primitive people were not as good as the tough guys.
This was a crisis, a crisis of competition. The primitive people knew that these people who had recovered from petrification were so powerful. Now they could barely compare with them, but what about in the future? If the primitive people had no strengths, they would easily be compared. Especially now that there was money, capable people got more money, and it was obvious that the tough guys got money much faster than the primitive people.
What made the primitive people feel more crisis was that not only they could not compare with them, but their children might not be as good as them. So the primitive people found the old craftsman, hoping that he could help everyone.
The old craftsman was in a dilemma: "In fact, if everyone can learn the unique skills of the tool gate, it is not impossible to catch up with them. But many unique skills of the tool gate have been lost, unless we can find our origin - Treasure Island." Treasure Island is the island where the six astronauts landed, and it is also the hometown of the primitive people.
The old craftsman believes that the secret skills of the tool gate are still circulating in the hometown of the primitive people.
Under the pressure of competition, the primitive people have to find a new direction. They must not be outdone by the tough guys, otherwise they will be very miserable.
At this time, Ogawa Gang also proposed to Ishigami Senku: "We should provide education for the primitive people. Since you have acquiesced to the market economy and agreed to the issuance of currency, you should take care of those vulnerable groups, otherwise the primitive people will become poorer and poorer." Ogawa Gang was the person who understood sociology best in the scientific empire at this time. As Ishigami Senku's right-hand man, he made suggestions.
"Well, I don't think it's that serious. I allow currency circulation just because I think it can make everyone more active. You also know that without currency, I can only distribute basic food, which can only make everyone full, but can't meet everyone's other needs. With currency, everyone can buy what they want, isn't that great?"
"It's great, but currency must be regulated. Nanami Ryusui's economic ability really worries me. I know you support his plan. In order to make everyone work more actively, you hope to use currency as an incentive and a driving force for overseas development. But you should see the division of society in the 21st century and the gap between the rich and the poor. As a leader, you should not let it go but find ways to adjust the flow, instead of watching the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker. Primitive people have inherent deficiencies compared to us. They don't have systematic education and don't have enough knowledge. It's hard for them to keep up with your big strides in construction. Either we stop and wait for them, or we tilt resources to provide them with better education, or we give up on primitive people." Xiaochuan Gang was very serious, because this was a real contradiction that had already appeared, and primitive people needed to improve their competitiveness.
Ishigami Senku feels that he is already busy enough and doesn’t get enough rest every day. Why is everyone still not satisfied with working so hard? I am really helpless: "The education issue can be postponed a little bit. We now need all the manpower to concentrate on building the sailboat. This is the most important thing. I will set off to search for oil soon, and I will teach you the work of supervision. And the textile department you are responsible for should also work hard to make the sail." Seeing Ogawa Gang's disapproving look, Shi Shen said: "When I was interrogating Bingyue before, he said something that I think is right, everything has pros and cons. As a leader, I only decide whether to do it or not. As for other things, everyone needs to work together. I choose to go overseas and choose currency. As for the disadvantages, I can only continue to develop scientific energy and maintain the value of currency. ”
At this point, Ogawa Bare wanted to make some suggestions for formulating regulations, but seeing Ishigami Senku looking tired, she withdrew silently.
Ogawa Gang didn't realize that there were actually three other people lurking in the room. Shishioji appeared after she left.
Shi Shen Qiankong looked at him: "What's the matter with you?"
"Everything has advantages and disadvantages. You chose a plan that is beneficial to you, and then left the disadvantages to everyone. Is this your rule, Stone God Qianku?"
"Lion King, I'm very busy and don't want to hear your nagging."
"I absolutely do not agree with Nanami Ryusui's monetary system," Shishioji said.
"As long as you go to the New World, these currencies will become real assets, and you don't have to worry about currency issues at all." Shi Shen has his own plan. These currencies are actually empty checks, a tool to squeeze everyone's enthusiasm for work and extract the rest. But if all goes well, the empty promise can also be fulfilled, which is to obtain a large amount of supplies from the New World to distribute to the workers. This is how history develops. Ishigami Senku said that he is just a reappearer of history, so there will never be any problems.
