At the end of the ceremony, all the blessings had been given.
The Tang dynasty soldiers who attended the ceremony were warmly received. Qi Lixu did not need to worry because he was not needed.
The other Tubo 'nobles' took the initiative to take out things and even helped to feed the horses.
They hoped that the team would take their things away when they went back, and then the next group of people would come and exchange for the things they needed.
If they could not master absolute force, politics would inevitably serve capital.
Tubo's army happened to be controlled by the major tribes, and the central army was the most concentrated.
Let them fight, they needed benefits.
Under the premise that there were enough benefits, they found that they were not in danger, and other things were easy to discuss.
Princess Jincheng inexplicably became a trading platform. She gave discounts to people who were close to her before, but not to others.
She knew that this operation could benefit her and the Tang dynasty, including Tubo.
She could not figure out how the price difference came about. Since both sides had profits, including the transport army, then how did the profits come about?
Exchanging things, and the people who helped to transport in the middle, all three parties did not suffer in the end?
Not only her, but Princess Yongmu also began to think about this problem now.
In the morning, Li Yi finished practicing on the two death row prisoners. They were still alive and very successful. He was learning. Everyone's specific situation was different, but there was a pattern.
"Li Lang, are you still performing surgeries in the afternoon?" Princess Yongmu did not want to eat braised pork today. She wanted to eat braised mutton.
"No, rest and relaxation can last for a long time." Li Yi chose to eat braised pork for lunch, which was what the poor ate in the past.
There was also fried liver, water, and fried tripe.
The poor ate these, while the rich ate roast duck and Goubuli steamed buns.
There were also people on the beach who ate oyster omelet, which was made with oysters and sweet potato powder.
They ate what the poor ate, including the tuna of the Japanese Empire. They did not eat it before, and only those who could not afford to eat would eat tuna.
Later, roast duck and steamed buns were gone, mainly because they were too expensive and lost their characteristics. Everyone did not lack meat to eat.
Fried tripe, braised pork, and fried liver became popular.
Cheap oysters became good things, and roast sweet potatoes were not cheap.
"Li Lang, I thought of something when I saw the business. I plant rice, you plant cabbage, I use rice to exchange for your cabbage, the medium in the middle is currency. Right? "
Princess Yongmu knew how to think. If she didn't understand, she would ask.
"Yes!" Li Yi swallowed a piece of pig intestine.
"You made a profit, and I didn't lose anything. What's going on? What's extra? "Princess Yongmu was puzzled by this question.
The people around him stopped eating and quickly took out their notebooks and pencils.
"The extra resources are the surplus resources. The surplus resources are the rice that you can't finish and the cabbage that I can't finish.
We each gave our own things a value, and in the process of exchanging, there would be a difference in value. A positive difference would be a profit, and a negative difference would be a loss.
In fact, if you buy my cabbage and I buy your rice, it would be an equivalent exchange.
In the absence of a third party, the value depends on our consensus.
If we use currency and there is a third party, it will become surplus resources. "
Li Yi was not in a hurry to eat. The weather was hot, and the stew would cool down slowly.
"If there is a merchant involved, and the merchant also didn't lose anything, then what did he earn?" Princess Yongmu still didn't understand.
"You only treat the material as something with value. You didn't take the labor into account. The merchant provides labor and knowledge, and this is called value appreciation.
In the process of realizing value appreciation, the merchant helps other sellers of production materials to solve the problem of surplus resources.
If you can't sell the watermelons, they will rot in the field, and the surplus resources will be wasted. The merchant will convert the wasted resources into resources that you want to have. "
Li Yi gave a simple example of planting watermelons.
Princess Yongmu shook her head: "I don't farm anymore. I carve stones. If I don't sell them, will the stones rot? Will the seas run dry and the stones rot? "
Li Yi nodded: "If you carve stones and don't sell them, it will be considered value accumulation. In the process of accumulation, you will still produce surplus resources.
These surplus resources will be reflected in the form of your extra work. You need other goods, including wheat and cabbage.
A part of the value you earn from your extra labor will be given to the stones you carve. You pay more.
In the process of contributing, the stones you accumulate can be considered your investment. The reason you can invest is because you have surplus resources. "
"I didn't pay a lot. I'm smart, and my skills are good." Princess Yongmu disagreed.
"Your skills are good, and you have more value appreciation. You are comparing with others. You should compare with your own production efficiency." Li Yi said very patiently.
"Then I'm wasting surplus resources?" Princess Yongmu frowned.
"If you plant watermelons, it will be a waste. If you carve stones, it will be an investment of surplus value. When the price of similar goods is high, you will use your investment to gain value appreciation. Otherwise, it will depreciate."
Li Yi waved his hand. The difference between stones and watermelons was the length of storage.
Princess Yongmu bit her lip: "So, things that can be stored for a long time and have a high probability of value appreciation are the main materials for wealth accumulation?"
"To a certain extent, yes. But what you said has become financial management, not a problem of basic value.
Buying gems, gold and silver is a way of managing wealth. There are also famous paintings and calligraphy.
Another way of managing wealth is through the financial model. For example, lending is also a way of managing wealth.
There are also investment and financial management models. You can hire servants to do some work or cooperate with others. The scope of the involved is very wide. "
Li Yi's thinking was still relatively clear. He was not led astray.
"Oh, I understand! If I take a lot of money and don't spend it, will the money be valuable? Will it be considered as surplus resources? "Princess Yongmu returned to the topic.
"This is the same as carving stones. There is a situation of value appreciation and depreciation." Li Yi returned to the topic.
"How does the currency appreciation and depreciation appear?" Princess Yongmu continued to frown.
"It is in the mode of currency issuance and productivity. When credit is issued, the productivity of society cannot keep up, and the currency depreciates.
When collateral is issued, productivity is greatly improved, and the currency appreciation increases.
Currently, the currency exchange coupons have been increasing in value. I am the one who is adjusting it.
One is that I need it to increase in value. I need to provide more production technology and convert it into productivity so that the people can live better lives.
The other is that I need it to increase in value. If it increases in value, others will recognize it more, including foreign businessmen and foreign countries.
The former needs the social progress of the Tang dynasty to be greater, and the latter needs the external monetary policy of the Tang dynasty. "
Li Yi explained the situation of the currency. He was in control.
Princess Yongmu was satisfied. She turned to Xiao Lan and asked, "Xiao Lan, Li Lang said that the currency will increase in value in the future. Shall we invest in currency?"
Xiao Lan was stunned and shook her head vigorously: "No, Xiao Niang, we should invest in Li Lang."
