Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 313 Food stamps
Li Tai watched Wang Gui leave, but he was slightly relieved.

To be honest, Wang Gui has not caused any trouble to himself so far. Although he is the shepherd of Yongzhou in name and the chief history of Wei Wangfu, he did not limit his thoughts at all, but let himself do what he wanted. Absolutely free with yourself.

It was exactly the same, Li Tai didn't understand what Wang Gui came here for.

This time the court asked him to make a deal with him, but he directly showed the court's bottom line to showdown with him. Whether he stood on his side or not, it showed that he sold himself a favor.

And I did not directly trade the original price, but directly doubled it, which showed that I understood this favor.

Li Tai is not afraid of others talking about money with him, because he has gradually formed a complete industrial system, and is more prepared to transform into a financial system. Li Tai does not think that anyone in this world can give out more money than himself.

Because for many people, money is money, but for me, with the improvement of the layout in Luoyang, money is just a number under a certain scale. Compared with the whole system, one hundred thousand is even a fraction that needs to be erased. .

And the foundation I laid in Youzhou, derived to the tea gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, the cotton in Longyou, and even the shepherds in Qinghai, all of which can be endorsed by my own financial system, and as long as I don't leave this system, money really doesn't count for Li Tai. what.

Compared with it, I want to know Wang Gui's attitude even more.

At least an old man with spiritual talent just stares at him like this while doing nothing. It is impossible to say that Li Tai is not angry, but Li Tai doesn't know what Wang Gui's purpose is.

So now that Wang Gui gave him a chance to sell him a favor, he naturally wouldn't miss it.

"It seems that the matter of the cloth can't be delayed any longer. It will be fully activated when the peacock comes back."

Li Tai thought silently in his heart, to be honest, the control of cloth has always been a rather flawed link in Li Tai's system.

But there is no way, the original raw material of cloth in this era is mulberry hemp, and the land Li Tai chose, no matter the Youzhou area, the reconstruction of Zhengguo Canal, or even the Hehuang Valley, has industries that are more suitable for these places, planting mulberry hemp Relatively cheap.

This made it impossible for Li Tai to make the industrial layout of cloth.

Without mastering the raw materials of the cloth, simply improving the weaving technology of the cloth is meaningless to Li Tai.

Because Li Tai needs a replicable industrial chain from beginning to end, not just an industrial upgrade of a certain link in the industrial chain.

And even if Li Tai invests a certain link in technology to upgrade the industry, he cannot enjoy all the profits from the beginning to the end. For Li Tai, it is not cost-effective, and he may even be stuck by the family that has mastered the raw materials.

This is why even though cotton cloth is quite immature in this era, whether it is from cotton cultivation, cotton seed removal, or even finding suitable large-scale cultivation of cotton, there are not many places, but Li Tai is still willing to increase investment in cotton and cotton cloth .

It has been many years, but Li Tai is still willing to spend money on cotton and continue to increase the production capacity of cotton.

Because cotton is grown from the ground to cotton cloth, Li Tai can eat the entire assembly line from start to finish.

Especially after the large-scale production of cotton, the role of cotton is not just a simple textile raw material.

Bees can be kept nearby to make it a source of honey, the removed plants can also be used as medicine, and the seeds can be used as lubricating oil after refining...

Even after its value is squeezed out, the plant fiber itself can be used to make paper.

This is the meaning of scale and industrial chain. With the help of a cotton plant, you can actually eat it from start to finish, with huge profits.

It is not just the profit of cotton becoming cotton cloth, but if you want to eat all the benefits, you must have an industrial chain and scale!
The most important thing is that my own productivity is not enough, I can't get rid of cotton fat, get gossypol, and other raw materials that need to be further improved to obtain productivity.

This is true for cotton, and it is also true for other raw materials.

I need not only to be a part of the assembly line, but also hope to build a long enough production line through sufficient scale effect, from start to finish, even if it is a piece of grass, I can eat [-] or even a million from it. consistent profits and the creation of thousands of jobs.

But if there is no large-scale quantity to provide the foundation, no industrialized thinking to regulate the industry, or even a replicable industrial chain, it is really meaningless to Li Tai, after all, making money is for the traveler , who will not.

"One hundred thousand guan... [-] guan!" Wang Gui couldn't help sighing when he really got food and cloth tickets equivalent to [-] guan from Wei Wangfu.

The bills are exchanged in the cloth shop and granary of Wei Wangfu, as long as they are given time to raise, they can be raised.

Generally, the value of more than [-] guan needs to be dispatched three days in advance, the value of more than [-] guan needs to be dispatched seven days, and the value of more than [-] guan needs to be dispatched [-] days.

In addition, if more than [-] people want to dispatch supplies, there are only three places in Tianjin, Luoyang and Chang'an. You can't find the real thing in other places, but you can find small food coupons.

But even so, Wang Gui could not help but feel embarrassed when he took one hundred thousand guan of wealth from the Wei Palace.

The king of Wei is too scary, if a person with a little bit of unsteady mind can not waver in the face of the [-] guan that can be taken away at will!

He came to Yongzhou by himself to be the long history of the king of Wei, and Li Shimin only asked himself to take care of Li Tai.

After all, Li Tai's departure was to appease Li Chengqian. Although Empress Changsun forced him to maintain the order of Li Tang's inheritance, for Li Shimin, Li Tai was the wronged party in the process, so Wang Gui Come and look after.

If Li Tai deviates from the right track, let yourself help to straighten it out, if Li Tai is angry, then help him comfort him.

Then after he came here, Wei Wang looked a little bit shocked, and the whole dragon and tiger wandered around Luoyang city fiercely, and then began to arrange the development plan of Luoyang.

King Wei's plan is based on the Tang Dynasty, with the canal as the vein, coal, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and every line is prepared.

The required funds are also well prepared, and all of this is just the foundation for Luoyang to take off.

Then the students trained by the agricultural college were arranged for him to be placed in food processing factories and various types of factories.

Obviously there are so many talents who can be small officials or even nine-rank officials, but in Luoyang, it seems that a handful of salt has been sprinkled into the soup and disappeared completely.

So Wang Gui didn't meddle in Li Tai's actions indiscriminately, but silently observed Li Tai's actions.

Then I saw that in the city of Luoyang, various factories began to recruit workers. Even Wang Zhenru's Gaoling corvee began to recruit almost unlimited workers. After building the roads in Luoyang, there was no stoppage.

There are also those kind of hooligans who have no property and no job. It’s okay if they don’t cause trouble, but if they cause trouble, they will be targeted by Wei Xu immediately, and they will be packed up and sent to mine on the same day. Of course, for the people of Luoyang, it is labor reform. Yes, at least law and order has improved a lot.

All in all, with the arrival of King Wei, the whole of Luoyang began to stimulate all kinds of vitality, especially after the game of Luoshui Zhiyi was announced to be held in Luoyang, Luoyang's positive labor enthusiasm was almost completely stimulated come out.

The enthusiasm of the people in Luoyang has become extremely hot, as if they want to raise their face in front of the world.

To be honest, Wang Gui had seen a lot of things like King Wei's ability to arouse people's enthusiasm for work, so there was nothing strange about it.

But what Wang Gui still didn't understand was where the king of Wei's money came from from the beginning to the end.

Yes, Wang Gui really didn't understand this matter.

Wang Gui was not an ordinary person, he had truly stood at the peak of the Tang Dynasty, and even served as a transitional prime minister after Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate change, and had truly governed the Tang Dynasty.

So he clearly knows that whatever he does in this world will eventually come down to money and food.

But King Wei understood a part of his operation, that is, King Wei seemed to have invested a lot of money, but the money was taken back by King Wei in various ways, which made King Wei seem to have not spent much. money.

Wang Gui used the food stamp in his hand as a matchmaker, with a slight glint in his eyes, as if he wanted to see Li Tai's entire plan.

The seven items of charcoal, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea proposed by King Wei at the beginning did not seem very eye-catching, but they were necessities for the common people. Not to mention that the common people need to buy them every day, but as long as they want to survive, they must have some reserves.

And Wei Wang seems to use these seemingly small things to obtain the money he earned from the people, not only these, but also the rice noodles to eat, and the clothes to wear. These seem to make the money that Wei Wang put in the hands of the people return In the hands of King Wei.

But I don't understand, the money circulated in the hands of the common people, and the king of Wei finally got the money back, but it seemed that the king of Wei was the one who finally got the benefits in the process, and he was not even sure who the king of Wei was. Really make money, still playing games.

At least the common people seem to have obtained some additional benefits from the circulation of this coin, making them more energetic, so that they are no longer lifeless, but seem to have found hope.

Wang Gui looked at the money coupons and food coupons in his hand, but wanted to sort out the cause and effect of the food coupons and food coupons through his spiritual talent.

But the more I saw, the more confused I became.

At first, Wang Gui thought that her spiritual talent was the eye of heaven that could distinguish between loyal and evil, and know good and evil.

But in fact, with the growth of age and rich background, it was not until he became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty that Wang Gui was truly sure that his spiritual talent could see certain afterimages and causes and effects of a certain person or thing.

But if you want to conduct further analysis, you need your own knowledge base.

But now Wang Gui understands that although he has seen the circulation method of the food stamps and cloth stamps, he doesn't understand them. After all, his knowledge background is not enough to analyze them!
"Look more, think more!" Wang Gui took a deep breath and encouraged himself.

For Wang Gui, compared with the [-] guan, it is more important to acquire the knowledge inside.

I don't want to be able to use it, but at least I have to understand what King Wei did here!

However, from Wang Gui's point of view, when Li Tai casually handed over the [-] guan to him as a favor, the position of prince of the Tang Dynasty had actually been settled, because he could not see any possibility of Li Chengqian winning.

After all, [-] guan is nothing to the entire Tang Dynasty, but to any individual, it is a price enough to buy his conscience.

Even if it's me, if it's not someone who is about to be rare and has been the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, if someone else comes in, as long as you need the [-] guan, it will be completely yours. If you test the officials like this, how many officials can bear it? .

Wang Gui couldn't help sighing, "Perhaps the king of Wei came out of Chang'an, it was not the dragon swimming in the shallow water under the persecution of Empress Changsun, but the dragon entering the sea under the plan of the king of Wei.

In Chang'an City, there are still saints and queens who can check and balance the king of Wei, but now in Luoyang, facing such a king of Wei who can smash [-] guan at any time, who can really contend! "

Wang Gui understood that unless he risked his life to fight Wei Wangzheng, he might be able to compete with Wei Wang and act as a check and balance. .

But the question is is this necessary?Isn't it good to lie down with King Wei and develop Luoyang? !
Isn't this just getting a meritorious service for nothing, who would think too much.

In contrast, if I fight politics purely for the sake of politics, that's not brain damage!
Wang Gui had been a prime minister and a minister of the Ministry of Rites, but now he simply doesn't want to do it anymore.

Li Shimin originally wanted to go home, but was arranged by Li Shimin to be with King Wei, and now he lives quite comfortably by King Wei's side.

So why should I limit Wei Wang, why not just see how far Wei Wang can go!

After all, I'm just an old salty fish who is about to retire, so it's not good to live the rest of my life in peace!

"Forget it, let's hand over all the [-] guan to the imperial court. How they will arrange for King Wei is their business!"

Wang Gui didn't want to intervene either, the one hundred thousand coins passed through their hands, although they trembled a bit, but they gave it gracefully.

The most important thing is that I expressed kindness to Li Tai, and Li Tai also accepted my kindness, so I think I will be more free in Luoyang in the future.

However, when Wang Gui handed over the [-] worth of food stamps and cloth stamps to the court, Fang Xuanling was still dizzy looking at the money.

Holding the food stamp, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but smiled wryly, "For a moment, I don't know whether I should praise Shu Jie for being too capable, or whether King Wei valued this ironworks too much, one hundred thousand is probably more than enough to rebuild an ironworks .”

"What? Are you planning to go back on your word?" Du Ruhui smiled when he heard Fang Xuanling's words.

"It's just that I don't understand money and food when communicating with King Wei!" Fang Xuanling shook his head when he heard Du Ruhui's words.

"How are you going to spend the one hundred thousand guan of money and food?" Du Ruhui asked Fang Xuanling.

"Let's talk about what's urgent." Fang Xuanling said,
"As the use of these food stamps gradually increased, most of the aristocratic families also accepted the food stamp transaction.

At least it is much easier to trade food stamps than to actually carry grain to trade!

As for the cost of our imperial court, it is more convenient to directly use these food stamps to deal with the family than to use cloth or gold cakes. "

When Du Ruhui heard Fang Xuanling's words, he looked at the food stamp in Fang Xuanling's hand, narrowed his eyes and said, "Maybe this is the purpose of King Wei."

"Even so, don't you use these food stamps?" Fang Xuanling asked back, looking at the stack of food stamps in his hand.

"Use it! Definitely use it!" Du Ruhui replied decisively to Fang Xuanling.
