The more~, The more~

1. The more gold, the more affluent life people lead.
2. The more water a river has, the more fish.

I deliberately dropped "people have" in the former clause in #1 and "there are" in latter clause in #2.
And, I'd like to know if I can use #1 and #2.
Thank you in advance for your help.

The first does not work for me at all. The second is just about possible if we understand that 'it has' has been omitted, but it doesn't sound at all natural.
