The people on the boat couldn't hear the conversation between the Tubo envoys. Amidst the cheers, the boat docked at its original position.
Everyone disembarked from the boat one by one.
Li Family Zhuangzi was next to Baqiao. The roads were wide and there were no tall trees or buildings.
From Baqiao's suspension bridge, goods were transported in and out in an endless stream. Flatcars came one after another, mainly for the delivery of goods.
In the south of the city, it was noon. Many half-finished ingredients were delivered, including cooked noodles, soaked rice noodles, and rice noodles.
Duck blood and rice noodles were slaughtered in large quantities outside. The blood and hair were inconvenient to deal with.
Li Family Zhuangzi bought ducks and cleaned them up. The duck feathers were processed and other inedible things were composted.
The duck blood was specially processed and sent together with the duck rack to make soup.
Now, copper coins were delivered. The merchants collected copper coins from other places and exchanged them for coupons. There was a price difference between the two.
Li Family Zhuangzi looked at the quality of the coins and gave different exchange rates according to the quality of the coins.
Otherwise, people outside wouldn't come to Li Family Zhuangzi to sell things at noon. There were only copper coins, silver, and gold. It was too far away and they couldn't wait.
Huala. A sack wasn't strong enough and cracked open. A large amount of copper coins flowed out.
They moved the coins to the side and continued to move the cart. Later, they picked up the coins with a shovel.
"How much money is in a sack?" Princess Jincheng saw it and considered the quantity.
"It's a small sack. Not much, about 20,000 coins. The big sack is full and can't be lifted. "
Princess Yongmu glanced at it and gave an answer based on her experience.
"I thought it was only a few thousand coins." Princess Jincheng obviously didn't understand the situation of copper coins piled together and underestimated it.
"Unless it's a sack of one-cent coupons. A sack is worth a few thousand coins." Princess Yongmu said with a smile.
"Yes! The value of the coupons depends on the size. For example, 10 million coins is only enough to fill a box. "Princess Jincheng's eyes were filled with tears again.
She had 10 million coins. Li Family Zhuangzi guaranteed the value of the coupons. She took it and spent it in Tubo.
Everyone in Tubo needed to curry favor with her because they could not snatch it away. She had a large number of elites around her.
"Yuanyuan, I have more than 9.3 million in exchange coupons left. Why don't you take them back?" Princess Jincheng knew that money was not easy to earn.
A few years ago, the annual rent collected by the Tang dynasty was less than 10 million yuan.
Take a look at Tubo. It cost more than 600,000 yuan. It basically bought all the good stuff from other people.
Princess Yongmu took Princess Jincheng's arm and said in a low voice, "Sister Nuonu, that money can't be spent in the Tang dynasty."
"Why?" Princess Jincheng asked naturally.
"There's no collateral. Once you spend it, it becomes a credit currency. However, when Tubo people went to the Tang dynasty with their coupons, they basically bought luxury goods.
When buying Li Family Zhuangzi's high-tech products, the Li Family Zhuangzi would use the profits to convert credit currency into standard currency.
You have to continue to buy things in Tubo. Otherwise, it will be a waste of money.
When the time comes, Tubo will circulate the coupons, especially for large transactions. You can also send the things you buy to the Tang dynasty to sell.
The profit difference in the middle will be compensated for the excess value of the currency again. "
Princess Yongmu explained the content of monetary economics to Princess Jincheng. She could not go back in time.
If she used more than 9 million yuan in exchange coupons to buy a meal in the capital, the Li Family Zhuangzi would not know how to handle it.
Princess Jincheng did not fully understand. She looked down at the road and thought for a while. She asked, "Can't I spend it in the Tang dynasty?"
"If you buy other people's things in Tubo, the coupons they get can be spent in the Tang dynasty, but yours can't.
For example, if you want to buy food, more than 9 million yuan will be spent. The price of food in the capital will not be affordable.
You can't buy livestock, poultry, or anything like that. You can buy kerosene lamps, mirrors, and bicycles. "
Princess Yongmu was very clear. She had to make it clear. If you want something, I'll give it to you. Don't spend too much money.
Princess Jincheng tried hard to think and had a little idea. "I'm a merchant in Tubo. I sell a lot of things in the Tang dynasty and get the coupons.
I save up. Suddenly one day, I buy food with all my strength. Will the capital sell it? "
All of a sudden, Princess Jincheng thought she had found the drawback of the currency.
"Do you hoard it in the Tang dynasty or send it back to Tubo?" Princess Yongmu blinked and asked.
"Is there a difference?"
"Naturally. You hoard it in the Tang dynasty. As you buy, the price of food will gradually rise.
After you buy it, Chang Ping will open the warehouse and push the price of food back to the original price within two hours.
Your food will rot if you hoard it. If you sell it, you will lose money.
If you want to bring it back to Tubo, you will collect taxes and export taxes. If you buy 100 cun of food and ship it out, you may be charged 50 cun or 200 cun. "
Princess Yongmu explained with a smile, and then whispered: "Sister Nunu, you don't have to think about it. There are already methods for this. It's prepared for the aristocratic families. Unfortunately, they don't jump in."
"If I have a lot of money, what if I ask Chang Ping to open the warehouse?" Princess Jincheng argued.
"Where will the money come from? You have to sell things to get money. If you sell a lot of things, those things won't be worth much. "
"What if I find a lot of gold and exchange it for coupons to buy food?" Princess Jincheng continued to argue.
Li Yi said from the side: "The Li Family Zhuangzi will issue new coupons that only circulate in the capital. At the same time, the price of food will be raised dozens of times. The newly printed coupons will be distributed to the people in the form of subsidies."
"What if I go to other places to buy food?" Princess Jincheng wanted to argue to the end.
"Chang Ping adopts a sales quota system and limits the number of people with household registration." Li Yi felt that he should teach Princess Jincheng a lesson.
He then said: "In the face of power, all methods are useless.
If you really have the economic strength, why don't you organize an army? You take the money to find loopholes in the Tang dynasty?
When I do business, I sell it as I want. I sell it according to the household registration. I won't bully you.
Otherwise, I can just put a crime on you. All your money will be confiscated and you will be arrested. "
"Since you can arrest people, why do you still use household registration restrictions?" Princess Jincheng didn't argue this time.
"Administrative orders are targeted at big aspects. Once implemented, it will involve the entire Tang dynasty. For additional unexpected small things, economic means are enough.
Only the incompetent imperial court will act like a rogue. If they can't, they will keep an eye on other people's shops in the name of national security. For example … "
Li Yi stopped talking and realized that Princess Jincheng didn't know.
"Is there a shop that can make a country afraid? Oh! Yes, there is. Your Li Family Zhuangzi is both hated and feared. "
Princess Jincheng thought about how powerful the Li Family Zhuangzi was. After walking a hundred steps, she heard a lot of things that she didn't understand.
After following Li Yi, her cousin became more powerful?
Tubo's Da Lun didn't say anything like this. He always looked for other people to discuss.
"Can a prince learn this kind of knowledge?"
Princess Jincheng thought that this kind of knowledge should only be passed on to men and not women. What if it involved the royal family?
"There are books!" Princess Yongmu said: "What I said just now was simple words. The more difficult ones were printed in books and sent to the officials in the imperial court."
