I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

[Quote 6: Gold and silver are not naturally money, but money is naturally gold and silver. ]

[This sentence emphasizes the special status of gold and silver in the development of money. ]

[Money is a special commodity separated from commodities, with functions such as value scale, means of circulation, means of value storage and means of payment. ]

[Gold and silver were not originally money, but existed in the market as a common commodity~. ]

[Gold and silver are small in size, high in value, easy to divide and not easy to rot, making them suitable as general equivalents. -]

[Therefore, as gold and silver are fixed as general equivalents, the emergence of money is naturally linked to gold and silver, forming the relationship of "money is naturally gold-silver". ]

……

The plane of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di looked at the giant screen in the sky, his eyes full of thought.

Combined with the knowledge of later currencies that he had seen in many previous videos, he could roughly understand the meaning of this passage.

In his understanding, the value of currency will be linked to gold and silver.

And this is determined by the natural properties of gold and silver.

Even Zhu Di further thought about the problem of Ming Baochao.

In his conception, the future Ming Dynasty must use paper money extensively, which has been proven to be a successful experience in later generations.

However, the current problem of Ming Baochao is really too big.

He must solve it.

And he already has a preliminary idea.

In addition to controlling the issuance scale of Ming Baochao, there must be a large amount of gold reserves as the value support of Ming Baochao.

As for where this gold comes from, it is of course mainly from America.

[Quote 7: The result of competition is always the collapse of many smaller capitalists, part of their capital is transferred to the hands of the winner, and part of it is eliminated. 】

【Competition in the capitalist market economy is ruthless, and smaller capitalists often find it difficult to survive in the competition. 】

【Their capital is either swallowed up by larger capitalists or perishes in the competition. 】

【Through this process of survival of the fittest, capital concentration and accumulation intensify, and a few large capitalists control more and more means of production and social wealth. 】

【The situation of most small capitalists and workers is getting worse and worse. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Competition is cruel, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp."

"This polarization phenomenon is particularly evident in modern society. Large multinational companies continue to swallow up small businesses, forming a huge economic monopoly force."

"Reply-If big capitalists form a monopoly, then many people will have a hard time."

"Reply-It's okay. Many countries have the Anti-Monopoly Law. Large companies cannot monopolize everything."

"Reply-Laws also need people to enforce them. There will always be people who exploit loopholes, especially thosesome large multinational companies. ”

“…”

Many ancient merchants throughout the dynasties could understand this quote.

The market is like a battlefield.

In business competition, there must be winners and losers.

However.

What does the Anti-Monopoly Law of later generations mean? ?

It is not allowed for a business to become too big and monopolize the market? ?

Many ancient merchants found it difficult to understand.

From their point of view, why can't merchants make their business bigger by relying on their own abilities?

At the same time.

On the other hand.

Many emperors throughout the dynasties had their own thoughts on the Anti-Monopoly Law of later generations.

They felt that since many countries in later generations had enacted this law, there must be some truth in it.

……

[Quote 8:

Capitalists are afraid of no profit or too little profit, just as nature is afraid of a vacuum.

Once there is a proper profit, capital becomes bold.

If there is a 20% profit, capital will be ready to move;

If there is a 50% profit, capital will take risks;

If there is a 100% profit, capital will dare to risk being hanged;

If there is a 300% profit, capital will dare to trample on all human laws. 】

[This sentence deeply reveals the greed and ruthlessness of capital. 】

[It points out that in the process of pursuing profits, capitalists may do whatever it takes, even trample on the law to pursue higher profits. 】

The barrage flew out:

"That's right. The nature of capital is greedy. In order to pursue profits, they will do anything."

"As long as they can make money, capitalists can do anything, such as counterfeiting and selling fakes, inciting wars, and even selling out the country. ”

“Capital is profit-driven and has no morality at all. For example, the eight Shanxi merchants in the late Ming Dynasty sold out the interests of the Ming Dynasty and smuggled and sold out the country to the Manchu Tartars.”

“…”

Looking at the huge screen in the sky.

Many ancient people in all dynasties were shocked.

The capital described in these words is too terrifying and terrible!

Although China has always had a tradition of "focusing on agriculture and neglecting commerce", the society generally does not have a high evaluation of merchants, believing that merchants are profit-driven.

But compared with the capital described in "Das Kapital" at this moment, many ancient people felt that the profit-driven merchants they imagined were too far away.

For the sake of profit, they can risk the death penalty and ignore all laws. Such capital is simply too crazy.

Through these quotations, many ancient people have a deep and intuitive understanding of the extreme greed of capital.

……

The Hongwu plane of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face still has a look of shock.

He didn't expect that the greed and ruthlessness of capital could reach such a level.

"After the Ming Dynasty starts the industrial revolution in the future, it mustPrevent capital from emerging and growing. "

Zhu Yuanzhang instinctively had such a thought in his mind.

Then.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought of another question:

"What is the difference between capital and businessmen? Are they the same thing?"

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about this question, he suddenly saw the barrage on the giant screen, and then his heart was shocked:

"The eight major Shanxi merchants in the late Ming Dynasty colluded with the Qing Tartars to sell out the country?"

"What a big courage! It's really dog-like courage!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with fierce murderous intent.

Dare to sell out his Ming Dynasty, that's courting death!

It's a pity that people in later generations did not specify which eight major Shanxi merchants they were.

Otherwise, he would have eliminated future troubles now!

"Since we don't know the specific people, it's better to kill the wrong ones than to let them go! ”

“The Ming Dynasty will not allow Shanxi merchants to appear!”

A fierce look flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes.

[Quote 9: Capital came into the world, from head to toe, every pore was dripping with blood and filth.]

[The Great Red Mentor revealed the essence of capital accumulation here.]

[The primitive accumulation process of capital is full of violence and plunder, and is the result of exploitation and oppression.]

[Whether through colonial plunder, slave trade, or enclosure movement, the accumulation of capital is always accompanied by bloody and dirty means.]

|= |

【This primitive accumulation is the starting point of the modern capitalist mode of production and the root of the contradictions in capitalist society. 】

……

The dimension of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che looked at the giant screen in the sky and smiled faintly.

He had heard this sentence in a previous video.

The red master in later generations put forward this view, which was obviously to criticize the bourgeoisie and expose the bloodiness and filthiness of capital.

But then again, violent and bloody means are indeed the means of capitalism. The fastest way to accumulate.

So.

If this capital is replaced by the Han Dynasty, if plunder can allow the Han Dynasty to quickly complete the primitive accumulation of capital.

Then, Liu Che felt that he didn't care about the so-called blood and dirt at all.

……

[Quote 10: The commodity form reflects the social nature of people's own labor in front of people as the material nature of the labor products themselves, and reflects the natural social attributes of these objects, thereby reflecting the social relationship between producers and total labor as the social relationship between objects outside the producers. ]

[Commodity fetishism is an important concept proposed by the Red Master in "Capital". ]

[The commodity form conceals the social nature of labor and transforms people's labor results into the attributes of objects, as if these attributes are naturally possessed by commodities. ]

[This process of materialization makes the social relationship between workers and their labor products unclear, thus giving rise to commodity fetishism. ]

[This phenomenon is particularly evident in modern societyOutstanding, people often only see the price and use value of commodities, but ignore the labor and social relations behind them. 】

The barrage flew out:

"To put it simply, it is the relationship between commodities, which is essentially the materialization of social relations between people."

"In modern society, commodity fetishism is people's excessive worship and obsession with commodities, regarding commodities as the supreme thing, and pursuing them has become an important way for us to pursue happiness and satisfaction."

"..."

Many ancient people in all dynasties looked at the giant screen in the sky with puzzled eyes.

They didn't particularly understand this.

They felt that it seemed to be saying not to waste luxury, but it didn't seem that simple.

……

[Quote 11: All savings are ultimately time savings. ]

[This sentence emphasizes the importance of time in production. ]

[The capitalist mode of production pursues efficiency and profit maximization, and saving labor time has become the key to improving productivity. 】

[In modern society, scientific and technological progress and management innovation have continuously improved labor productivity and achieved large-scale time savings. 】

[However, this high emphasis on time has also brought negative effects, the pace of work has accelerated, the intensity of labor has increased, and the physical and mental health of workers has been seriously threatened. 】

[Therefore, how to balance time saving and worker welfare is an urgent problem to be solved. 】

… (To read the novel of Baoshuang, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

For this new quotation.

Many ancient merchants in all dynasties nodded in agreement.

The reason is not only applicable to the capitalist mode of production, but also to other modes of production.

As long as more goods can be produced in a shorter time, more money can be made.

Thinking of this.

In many dynasties, many big merchants are increasingly eager to have people develop and manufacture steam engines as soon as possible.

That machine can undoubtedly greatly save the production time of goods and improve the efficiency of commodity production.

……

[Quote 12: Due to the social power of capital, capitalists can play all kinds of so-called "democracy and freedom" tricks. It's okay if you can't see through this trick, but if you vigorously promote these tricks, you are either a lackey of capitalists or an idiot. ]

[The illusion of democracy and freedom in capitalist society is revealed in "Das Kapital". ]

[In capitalist society, capitalists control the form and content of democracy and freedom by mastering the power of capital. ]

[They use media, public opinion and other means to promote their own values ​​and policy propositions, thereby misleading the judgment and choice of the people. ]

[Therefore, the people should keep a clear mind and not be confused by false information. ]

[Through learning and thinking, we should form our own independent judgment and critical thinking, so as to make the right choice. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin looked at the giant screen in the sky and nodded slightly.

He had already fully understood the hypocrisy of Western capitalist countries in many previous videos.

The so-called "democratic democracy" and "freedom" they advocated actually belonged to the "democratic democracy" and "freedom" of the big bourgeoisie and big capitalists, and had little to do with ordinary people.

For example, the highest leaders of many capitalist countries seem to be elected by the people of the country through so-called democratic democracy.

But in fact, it is just a dispute between different groups within the bourgeoisie.

The capitalists used various means to make ordinary people think that they had "democratic democracy" and "freedom", but secretly manipulated the results.

Of course.

As an emperor, Li Shimin stood on the position of a ruler. He felt that it was normal for the big bourgeoisie of later generations, as the actual controllers of capitalist countries, to use such means.

……

[Through the interpretation of these twelve classic quotations from Capital, we can see the Red Master's insight and criticism of capitalist society. ]

[He not only revealed the inherent contradictions of the capitalist mode of production, but also foresaw the historical trend of its development. ]

[Although Capital was born in the 19th century, the theories and views in it still have important practical significance today. ]

[By reading and understanding Capital, we can better understand and analyze various phenomena in modern society, and thus make more rational choices on the road to change. ]

……

After watching the conclusion at the end of the video.

Many ancient people in all dynasties praised the Red Master and the book Capital again.

……

In the sky-high giant screen.

The video is refreshed.

A new video appears.

[There are biological treasures and ancient viruses. How many secrets are hidden under the permafrost? 】

……[]

Looking at this line of big words on the giant screen in the sky, many ancient people from all dynasties have a great interest in the content of this new video.

They are very curious: What is permafrost?

……

[Have you seen an animal version of a mummy? ]

[This is the body of a wolf cub that lived 57,000 years ago. ]

[Until now, its fur, flesh, and bones are still there. ]

[This wolf cub body was dug out of the permafrost. ]

[In addition to this wolf cub body. ]

[In 2010, scientists also discovered a fairly well-preserved mammoth remains in the permafrost in Siberia, the country of the bear. ]

[In 2020, scientists also discovered the remains of an ancient woolly rhinoceros in the permafrost in Siberia. 】

【He lived between 20,000 and 50,000 years ago. When he was unearthed, his intestines still contained the last meal he ate before his death. 】

[There are still many such remains of ancient creatures in the permafrost. ]

……

Accompanied by narration and subtitles.

The photos of the remains of these ancient creatures were displayed on the high-altitude giant screen.

Many ancient people from all dynasties looked at these images and were shocked.

"After tens of thousands of years of death, the body can still remain so complete? It's incredible!"

Many ancient people were amazed.

……

[Then the question is, what is this permafrost? Why are there so many remains of ancient creatures buried? ]

……

Hearing this.

Many ancient people from all dynasties looked at the high-altitude giant screen more and more attentively.

They were also very curious about the answers to these questions.

……

[In geology, permafrost usually refers to various rocks and soils below zero degrees Celsius and containing ice. 】

【We can also encounter frozen soil when it is particularly cold in winter. 】

【For example, in the northern provinces of my country, seasonal frozen soil will form, which freezes in winter and melts in spring, and in the south, there will also be short-term frozen soil that freezes for a few days. 】

【In addition to these two types, there is permafrost widely distributed in the Arctic and Antarctic Circles and in plateaus and mountainous areas thousands of meters above sea level. 】

……

After listening to this explanation.

Coupled with the video images introducing frozen soil on the giant screen.

Many ancient people in all dynasties also had a more intuitive understanding of frozen soil.

……

【The time for the formation of permafrost can be as short as a few years or as long as tens of thousands of years. 】

【And some of the ancient creatures that lived on the earth tens of thousands of years ago, after their death, their bodies happened to be buried in permafrost. 】

【Under the effect of low temperature, these bodies were frozen into mummies and preserved to this day. 】

……

“So that’s it.”

Many ancient people in all dynasties suddenly realized it.

They were not unfamiliar with the fact that low temperature can better preserve meat. .
