"Erecting a clock tower in front of the Imperial City for free will cost a lot of money." Li Yi gestured to Bi Goo to eat.
"How much is it?" Bi Goo didn't want to listen to other things now. He just wanted to know how much it was.
"In our Tang dynasty, as long as the height is not too high, the clock is very useful. If you put it on a mountain two thousand feet high, the air pressure …"
"How much is one?" Bi Goo interrupted Li Yi. He already felt the value of the clock. He didn't need to use hourglasses.
"Like a bicycle, the main thing is the stability of the clockwork. It involves …"
"How much is the cost?" Bi Goo was unmoved.
"Nine hundred and ninety-nine cents." Li Yi gave the price casually.
"Every cent of the profit will be taxed at 50%. Sell one to the Ministry of Revenue for five hundred dollars." Bi Goo gave the tax collection requirements seriously.
Li Yi looked at Bi Goo carefully. "Old Bi, are you serious? I said nine hundred and ninety-nine cents, and you're just going to accept it? "
"No, after careful calculation, the Ministry of Revenue calculated that your clock cost nine hundred and ninety-nine cents."
Bi Goo waved his hand. He was still as serious as ever.
He didn't care how much money Li Yi earned anymore because he was sad.
It was Li Yi's idea to make noodles for the Ministry of Revenue.
Then what did it become? All kinds of benefits. He couldn't compete with the merchants. The merchants still had to pay taxes.
Since the clock could make money, then let the Li Family Zhuangzi earn it. Anyway, once Xiao Yi had more money, she would throw it out.
The same amount of money, giving Xiao Yi was guaranteed to be better than giving it to the Ministry of Revenue.
"Okay, I'll sell one to you for five hundred dollars. I don't care about the collateral for issuing small currencies." Li Yi and Bi Goo reached an agreement.
"When taxes start to be collected in most areas of the Tang dynasty, the imperial court will issue its own banknotes." Bi Goo mentioned.
He reached out his chopsticks to pick up the dried tofu and wanted to roll up the shredded pork with soy sauce.
Li Yi stopped her with his chopsticks. "You can't eat too much tofu. Soy products are not easy to digest and will ferment. You will have too much gas in your stomach."
"The imperial physician told me to eat green onions appropriately." Bi Goo went to pick up some green onions.
"Go get a pancake and cut it into small cubes like tofu."
Li Yi ordered, and Zi Yu reacted the fastest, getting up and rushing out.
"Yes, you can still use the rolls." Bi Goo picked up the bowl of rice wine and drank a mouthful. The rice had been scalded.
Right now, he needed to recuperate his body, mainly his gastrointestinal tract, and drink ginseng whisker water.
After eating until he was almost full, Bi Goo left with five catties of pine nuts. He was going to give them to the people in the Political Affairs Hall.
At the same time, he could also use the knowledge he had learned from Li Yi. Alright, using knowledge to act cool was the most important thing.
Li Yi got up and went out for a walk. He was going to have a medical class later.
Bi Goo returned to the Political Affairs Hall, took out the pine nuts, and held a meeting.
At the meeting, he talked a lot, and the people in the Political Affairs Hall were stunned. Could the economy be played like this?
Currencies were divided into credit currencies and non-credit currencies? Then, would it be possible to eliminate the problem of currency devaluation in the economy by always using non-credit currencies?
The official put forward this idea and felt that it was better to always use the standard currency with its own value.
For example, gold, silver, copper, and gloomy wood.
Bi Goo nodded, indicating that he understood, and began to talk, "In economic activities, there is a supply-demand relationship. When there are more people in demand, the price of goods will increase.
On the other hand, when the quantity of goods supplied is greater than the demand, the goods will be unsalable and reduced in price.
The same is true of currency. With the increase of economic activity, the exchange coupons cannot provide enough quantity for circulation.
The result is deflation, and we must use other means to supplement it. Otherwise, the economy will stop moving forward.
That is, we use the standard currency in the early stage, but we have to add credit currencies later, unless we have more standard collateral … "
Bi Goo told the official what he had learned from Li Yi, and the official's eyes showed a look of reverence. My Bi Zaifu is amazing.
Su Yi and Song Jing also felt that Bi Goo was amazing. He could remember so much content after listening to it once.
The key was that Li Yi was really knowledgeable. Everyone knew that the currency problem was serious.
But they knew that too much evil money would make money worthless, and then the price of things would be expensive. They had to find a way to stop it.
And Li Yi actually had a complete set of theories to support it. He used different methods to deal with different situations.
Even if there was still evil money now, Li Yi didn't care.
He accepted it, especially the evil money with tin. The price he gave was higher than the price of other evil money.
At the same time, he found the place where the evil money was produced and directly asked for the place.
If he met one, he would catch it. If the tin production place was controlled, how could he mix tin?
In addition, the Li Family's Farmstead also collected iron and light copper coins from the evil money according to their weight.
The price given was fair. At least the people who sold it didn't suffer a big loss.
This included the normal copper coins on the market. They could be taken to the Li Family Zhuangzi at any time to exchange for the same value of exchange coupons.
The Li Family Zhuangzi controlled the issuance and circulation of the entire capital government's currency, and then extended it outwards.
"It's already written in the book. Go back and read it and think about it. Don't spread it out if you can. If you accidentally spread it out … it's okay."
Bi Goo finished the lesson and said one last sentence.
He found that it was useless to just read the book about the problem of spreading it out. He had to combine it with the specific problem to understand.
The key was that the book talked about the concept, not the specific application.
The officials expressed that they understood. They each grabbed a handful of pine nuts and left. They were reluctant to eat them and went home to give them to their families.
When everyone left, Song Jing said to Bi Goo, "Long Ze, can you ask Li Yi to come over and give a special lecture?"
Song Jing knew that Bi Goo had told him everything he learned today. How much more did he not learn?
"Xiao Yi will teach people to print something and pass it to the students of Zhuangzi. That thing is not allowed to stay. It will be burned after learning it."
Bi Goo shook his head and thought that it was impossible. How could Li Yi casually teach it to outsiders? Managing the world and helping the country!
He was much better than Gui Guzi. Gui Guzi learned a lot and was proficient in a lot of things.
However, compared to Li Yi, he was a lot worse. Gui Guzi and his disciples didn't have much contribution to the people's livelihood.
They were more proficient in the art of war and the art of war. They were very good at scheming against other countries.
That was because they didn't meet Xiao Yi. Otherwise, Gui Guzi wouldn't be able to do anything to any of the surrounding countries.
Xiao Yi's ability was to send technology to the people, increase production, and save time.
At the same time, she didn't play any tactics and directly gave money and weapons.
What kind of art of war could withstand hot air balloons, binoculars, and a lot of logistics?
When firearms came out, the strategy and tactics on the battlefield would be directly crushed when faced with firearms.
There was no need to play any tactics at all. They could just push all the way.
"Okay." Song Jing thought for a while and found that he really couldn't teach it directly. What if it was learned by outsiders?
At the moment, others could only watch and then analyze the reasons. Even if they learned it, they would only learn a little.
If they didn't operate well, not only would they not help their country, but they might also harm the country.
For example, if they couldn't make paper money that was difficult to imitate, it might be counterfeited by others.
Or if the people in power ran out of money and printed paper money, it would be great.
