The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1469 Money is valuable only in circulation

The next day, Li Shimin woke up from Empress Changsun's bedroom.The first thing he did after waking up was to return to his imperial study, and then summoned Dai Zhou.

He doesn't want to go to court today.Just want to take a day off.

Moreover, there is nothing particularly important in the court these days.

And during this period of time, he changed the rules of court a little bit.

If there is a major event, report it directly to the Shangshu Province. If they cannot decide, the Shangshu Province will notify Li Shimin. If Li Shimin cannot decide, it will be resolved by the court.

But generally, these things are dealt with quickly.

In addition, during this period of time, the entire Tang Dynasty is too safe.

Nothing particularly important.

The matter of the harvest is also done.

Things in Goguryeo have also settled down.

The treasury is also very happy to collect money.

Everything is really thriving!

"Dai Zhou!"

"Chen is here!"

"Any other news about the phone?"

Li Shimin asked.

What he asked was what happened yesterday, because yesterday he went to bed early after coming back from the rain.I don't know what happened next.

"Yes, after the weather forecast yesterday, the common people were puzzled at the beginning, why they had to report the weather, but since it rained last night, all the common people have changed their minds, and many people even went to the sixth prince to thank him He also sent a lot of things to him, and now the people can trust the weather forecast. The people are also prepared to deal with the weather in a few days. "

"What about Shengtang Group?"

"They said that the weather forecast is accurate, because the weather changes rapidly. Sometimes things like clouds may float from thousands of miles away, and then there will be rain in some places, and there will be rain in some places. If the place is sunny, it will be a shower! Moreover, Shengtang Group also said that the accuracy rate of this forecast is about [-] out of [-]."

Li Shimin was silent for a moment.

Seven out of ten?

I'm afraid it's low.

There should be a 100%, after all, he also witnessed the rain yesterday.And the wind.Guess right!That's simply too powerful.

"Seven out of ten? Then seven out of ten times are accurate? This is indeed not low!"

Li Shimin said.

"That's it!"

"Anything else? Anything else about the phone."

"Yes, there are now 100 million people with telephones! The number is still increasing."

Dai Zhou said again.

In just a few days, 100 million people installed telephones, which is very scary.

It would be terrifying if these 100 million people were all rich.It proves that everyone in Chang'an City is rich.If one person's assets are 1000 taels, the total amount is already quite scary...

"What? One million people!? Is that much?" Li Shimin was shocked.

"Yes, at present, there are about 600 million people in Chang'an City. These are registered people, and there are also some outsiders who have not been registered. They usually stay for a period of time. I estimate from my ministers that the people living in Chang'an City are now The population may have reached 800 million people! Even more!"

Li Shimin took a deep breath.

If it was him, he would never be able to achieve 800 million people in a city, and at most 300 million would be a lot.

But Li Yin relied on the Shengtang Group to get so many people.

How terrible that must be.

What's even more frightening is the number of his workers, isn't it already a lot at this time?
Li Shimin also really wanted to know how many workers the Shengtang Group had.

So, he asked:

"Then how many practitioners are there in Shengtang Group? Are there any specific figures?"

After thinking for a while, Dai Zhou said: "According to my opinion, there should be as many as 50 people, or even more!"

"What! 50 people!?"

That's a real guy.

In ancient times, there were millions of people in the army, but in fact there were none.

Li Shimin knew this.

Even if a country wants to raise so many troops, it is difficult.

In the historical records, the largest battle in the early days was probably the Battle of Changping. According to legend, this battle ended in the failure of Zhao Guo, and then the shocking event of Bai Qi killing 40 Zhao Guo surrendered occurred.

This battle was a large-scale protracted war between Qin and Zhao in Changping in order to unify the six countries. This battle lasted as long as three years.It is said that the total military strength of the two sides in this battle reached one million, of which the Qin army successively dispatched 65 troops, and the Zhao State successively dispatched about 50 troops.

Having said that, the population during the Warring States Period was not enough to support the two countries dispatching such a large force.

With the productivity and development level of the society at that time, each country could support 20 troops even if it survived. For a powerful country like Qin, it was already limited to support 30 troops. How did it come to more than 60?
To say that he is a teacher of a million is just overwhelming.

However, the current strength of Datang will not exceed 70.

This force is still scattered, unlike the Shengtang Group that is directly concentrated in one place.

Conscription was also compulsory in ancient times.

The salary given is naturally not much.

Compared with the Shengtang Group, this is simply nothing.

Speaking of this, after Li Shimin heard 50 yuan, he was stunned.

Because he knew that the wages of the people working in Shengtang Group were not low. Taking Wang Ergou as an example, his wages should be the lowest, but it could exceed the income of a large number of people.

People with higher salaries, such as scientific researchers.

Further up is the manager.

50 people, how much does it cost a month just for salary.

This kind of money can only be possible for a behemoth like the Shengtang Group.

"Yes, half a million people!"

Dai Zhou said with certainty.

"The Shengtang Group is probably getting bigger and bigger!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the families behind these 50 people will have at least 200 million people. And if the income of these families is high, it will also affect other aspects. You are on the economic level, because they are rich. , will spend money, in the words of the Sixth Prince, only when money flows, is it real money. Only then does it have value."

"What did he mean by that?"

Li Shimin asked without understanding.

This kind of answer is very novel to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, a tael of silver will not generate any value if it is left in your hands. It will only generate value if it is circulated. And it will continue to circulate in the hands of many people. The longer the time, the greater the value generated."

"Be more specific." Li Shimin became even more curious.

"Your Majesty, I heard a story from the sixth prince, which may help you understand the meaning faster."

"Oh? Stories? Tell me."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Then, Dai Zhou told a story, which shocked Li Shimin. It turned out that this was the value of circulation.

Everything is justified!
