Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 42 What is money, I have never seen money

Unwillingly, Du Ruhui flipped through the meeting minutes, trying to find some clues from them.

But although it records how many people need to be recruited and how much materials need to be spent to do these things, the appropriation of money is finally settled by "handing over to the King of Yue" and then stopped.

Because Li Taizhen took out the supplies.

But logically speaking, if Li Tai bought so many supplies, he might not be enough if he sold his chicken farm and coal farm.

"The king of Yue... the king of Yue is really generous and considerate of the people!" Du Ruhui really couldn't see it, so he could only praise.

It's just that Du Ruhui asked slightly curiously,
"King Yue, can you tell me, how much did you spend here? 20 guan, or 30 guan?"

"This money..." Li Tai rubbed his head, smiled and said nothing to Du Ruhui.

Because Li Tai also didn't realize it. In this era, infrastructure construction actually requires money?
Basically, the most costly things like infrastructure are the three parts of top equipment, basic materials and manpower expenditure.

Don't look at us making jokes about the backwardness of foreign infrastructure, but in fact, as long as the developed countries have basically experienced the era of infrastructure madness.

It’s just that as the progress of science and technology failed to catch up with the rise in labor costs, especially after the infrastructure of major economic cities was improved, projects such as infrastructure with a long cycle of returning funds from work will naturally not be favored by capitalist countries.

Of course, if their government is willing to subsidize, infrastructure construction can still be carried out, but it is not easy for lazy workers to get them moving.

However, this kind of thing is nothing to Li Tai. The basic materials are dug from the Gaoling River, and the labor cost is not only the wages of the formed corvee team, but the rest of the people are here for two meals a day.

It can be said that the cost of materials and labor should be paid the most, which is compressed to the extreme.

As for the top-notch equipment, Li Tai also let Du Chuke stay with a small team to follow Li Chunfeng, and asked the Moke team to find ways to research some equipment that can increase efficiency and save power. As long as they research it, they can immediately try the effect .

And Li Chunfeng himself is a guy who likes mathematics. When he studies tools, he pays more attention to the stability of the triangle, how to cut more accurately, at least after researching centimeters and grams, this guy has a kind of obsessive-compulsive precision pursuit of data.

So this Mohist team basically does creative work here at Li Chunfeng's place, and they are specially assigned to research equipment.

But it was painful because of this, but Li Chunfeng still thoughtfully arranged for Hualou girls to cheer them on!
At least for now, the effect looks okay.

So whether it is the canal project or the road project that is currently being built, Li Tai said what is money, I have never seen money?
In the feudal era, you actually talked about money with me. This is an insult to me, a Chinese successor who grew up after the reform and opening up!
Well, Li Tai still gave the money, that is after Li Tai watched some common people grind foreign jobs with the idea of ​​messing around.

How could Li Tai, who was finally a capitalist, tolerate these people muddling along, and how could he increase his wealth.

So Li Tai immediately revised the rules, moving bricks to a certain amount can open two bowls of rice, and if they can still move bricks after that, then Li Tai will give them piecework and pay Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Because it is paid on a daily basis, you will be paid as much as you do, and immediately these people will become active.

Li Tai also opened a herbal tea shop next door, which costs half a catty and can even be filled with gourds.

Many farmers are tired from working, and they spend a penny directly, so that these people can work comfortably, and they can also recycle the currency.

Of course, the most important thing is that people in this era don’t have the conditions to travel. Although they have made money, they don’t spend money on the seven things they need to do. shop to buy!
And as long as consumption is made, the money will flow, and for Li Tai, a landowner, it will definitely not be a loss!

It is also worth mentioning that occasionally Li Tai will replace their wages in the form of coal tickets.

They use this coal ticket to exchange honeycomb briquettes in big shops, and then they will enjoy a [-]% discount, which is worth a penny for the common people!

Therefore, when they need briquettes, they sometimes choose coal tickets for briquettes instead of Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Because the honeycomb coal has mastered everything from the coal workers to the production line, and to the final sales end.

Li Tai must understand how much it is worth. For Li Tai, a [-]% discount on the market price is just a small profit.

However, for Li Tai, the most important thing about this matter was to save a part of the circulation of Kaiyuan Tongbao, so that these people accepted the equivalent currency in the form of tickets.

But Li Tai knew that what he could control was only briquettes.

"It's a pity that the output of honeycomb coal is still not large enough, and the cost should be further spread out, and I don't have that kind of top-notch coal mine, which is not attractive enough for the common people.

Otherwise, if the status of firewood can be changed to charcoal, I am afraid I will dare to issue currency based on charcoal!

Now, it's just such a small fight. "Li Tai regretted his ability.

To put it simply, what Li Tai wants is to turn the entire Gaoling County into some state-owned enterprise that was in the 80s and [-]s.

As long as the state-owned enterprise develops well, the employees in the factory basically depend on the entire state-owned enterprise from birth to death.

In this process, the form of bookkeeping can often be used to replace currency transactions. In the end, as long as materials can be obtained, this model can continue.

This model is still a good choice for accumulating initial capital accumulation.

Of course, if we really continue to do this, we will still follow the old path of state-owned enterprises, so it can only be regarded as a transition.

As for now, Li Tai looked at Du Ruhui's question and said truthfully, "Zheng Fengchi helped a lot!"

"It's Zheng Fengchi again?" Li Shimin touched his chin when he heard this, wondering if this Zheng Fengchi was too active!

Du Ruhui's eyes narrowed. He originally thought that Zheng Fengchi would calm down after becoming the Supreme Emperor, but he didn't expect that Zheng Fengchi was putting women beside Li Tai and giving Li Tai such a large amount of resources. ? !

If Zheng Fengchi knew about Du Ruhui's words, he might not be able to help but yell that he was wronged.

Maybe he meant to have a good relationship with Li Tai, but he didn't really want to make a big bet on Li Tai.

After all, in the final analysis, he is still a businessman, not a family!

Is this kind of thing a businessman should participate in? If you are not careful, you will implicate the nine clans!
In addition to Zheng Fengchi's own granddaughter being next to Li Tai, Zheng Fengchi and Li Tai are more pure money transactions.

Li Tai handed over the three-year agency rights for down jackets to Zheng Fengchi, and let Zheng Fengchi manage and sell them by himself.

To be honest, Zheng Fengchi has also made down jackets in private, and the method of getting rid of the smell of grease is second. The real problem is the cost.

Zheng Fengchi went to buy ducks by himself, only to find that down jackets can be used as plush as a duck can't produce much. For the materials of the down jackets, he has to build a duck factory. The production of ducks could not increase, and the scale could not be formed. When I got the hatching technology, the cost of coal and feed cost me again.

All in all, Zheng Fengchi fiddled around, and found that the smelly down jacket he made turned out to be more expensive than the skim and deodorizing down jacket that Li Tai gave him. This made Zheng Fengchi completely lose the idea of ​​self-produced and sold, or from Li Tai Get it!

For businessmen, it is better to let them die than to let them do business at a loss.

And Li Tai also bought the agency rights of this down jacket to Zheng Fengchi, but half of Zheng Fengchi was cash, and the other half was materials, especially basic materials such as rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. How much of these basic materials can he get? Ty will charge as much.

Therefore, it is also because of the relationship between Zheng Fengchi and Li Tai that the basic materials of Peacock's large shopping malls have never been out of stock.

These basic materials are not attractive to those top dignitaries.

But for the people at the bottom, they have exhausted all their strength just to survive in this feudal era. These basic materials are necessities, and the money they earn is basically consumed on this.

Relying on an orderly internal cycle and good external profit-making projects, Gaoling has flourished.

The common people did earn money, but they also spent a lot of money in Gaoling District. However, the infrastructure such as water canals, roads, and public toilets created by them with their own hands can continue to play a role and help Li Ty continued to make money.

Du Ruhui looked at the minutes of this meeting, suddenly he raised his head, his eyes were blood red, and said,

"If you give King Yue a large number of people, is there a way to drive them and let them work like the people of Gaoling County!"

Hearing Du Ruhui's words, Li Shimin glanced at Du Ruhui in surprise. He knew what Du Ruhui was going to do.

Li Shimin didn't stop him, because Li Shimin believed in Du Ruhui's decision, just like his own.

"A lot? How much?!" Li Tai was a little stunned when he heard Du Ruhui's words. He couldn't help rubbing his hands, and asked with a little expectation, "Are there 1 people?"

"More!" Du Ruhui said calmly, his expression unchanged.

"More!?" Li Tai heard this, his eyes turned into the shape of stars, and said, "Where are they?!"

"Maybe they will come over in a few days!" Du Ruhui said, "I hope King Yue will be satisfied by then!"

"That..." Li Tai hesitated a little when he heard Du Ruhui's words, but he still told Li Shimin,

"Aye, if there are more than 1 people, can I ask you to send an army to station there, and obey my orders when necessary, and please ask Sinong Temple to release food for me."

"Aren't you very good here, why do you want an army from me?" Li Shimin smiled a little, but also a little puzzled.

To be honest, Li Shimin naturally understood that Li Tai asked him for food, but what Li Shimin didn't understand was why he wanted the army.

"Most of the people here in Gaoling know and recognize me, so as long as I ensure that they eat, they will all be willing to obey my orders and commands."

Li Tai looked calm, but said very seriously,

"But if 1 people really come, their number will exceed the number of local people in Gaoling, and there will probably be riots by then.

I need an army to suppress the rebellion if necessary.

If you want to digest the labor force that exceeds Gaoling County itself, you must maintain a good order and let the people adapt to this order! "

Li Tai understands why it was very difficult to carry out work for relief in ancient times.

One problem is the transportation in ancient times, which made it difficult for many places with food to quickly transport food to places without food. Without food as the basis, it is really difficult to use food for work.

And another problem is people's hearts. The Chinese people are not Indian Sudras and Dalits. Since Chen Sheng called out that the princes and generals have kindness, if the Chinese people are really hungry, they are really willing to eat The existence that dared to pull the emperor off his horse.

If you don't have an absolute force capable of suppressing riots, but you have wealth and food, it is very likely that the people will be robbed by an impulse. No matter what time traveler you are, in front of the mob, you should die or die!

Anyway, Li Tai doesn't think he's the type that I want to hit 1. In fact, I want to hit one, and Li Tai feels that he is enough.

So we must keep Li Shimin's thighs and let him send more people to protect himself!
"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded and said, "Since you have considered it thoroughly, then I will give you the post of pacifier.

The food and troops you want will be sent to you after a while. What you have to do is to maintain the order in Gaoling County.

After a while, the refugees from Guanzhong will come here one after another. You need to collect the refugees and let them survive! "

"Ah~ refugee?" Li Tai was slightly taken aback when he heard this word. Although he didn't dislike it, it was somewhat different from what he thought.

Li Tai said weakly to Li Shimin, "How many will there be?"

"Not counted yet!" Li Shimin said here with a bit of a heavy voice, "But compared to last year, there should be only a lot more!"

Li Tai didn't say much when he heard Li Shimin's words, he just said solemnly to Li Shimin,

"Please rest assured, Aye, as long as there is enough food, I will definitely arrange for all these refugees!"

"With you sharing my worries, how could Aye hold you back!" Li Shimin patted Li Tai's head and said in relief.

"Keming, you asked me to come and see you today. Let's go back to Chang'an!" Li Shimin said.

"No!" Du Ruhui replied respectfully when he heard Li Shimin's words.

Du Ruhui knew that Li Tai and Ma Zhou's partners, Li Shimin would definitely not dismantle them for the time being, because they needed to deal with the flood of refugees caused by the severe drought in Guanzhong.
