Datang first village

Li Er was watching Jieshi's commotion, when he suddenly saw the crowd surrounding Li Yuanxing starting to stir.Quickly ask Eunuch Gao to see what happened.

Soon, Eunuch Gao came back to report.

"Your Majesty, the old slave didn't squeeze in. The envoys from all the states, especially the envoys from the grassland states, tried their best to squeeze towards His Highness King Qin. The envoys from Huihe hugged His Highness King Qin's boots and cried loudly, shouting thanks all the time. Your Highness and the like. The old slave asked a businessman, and the businessman said that His Highness said something about futures, and then asked about the chaos there, and the businessmen also rushed to His Highness King Qin, as if they wanted to ask for advice. The imperial army has already gone. If it is maintained, the old slave hastened to report to the Holy Majesty!"

Li Er waved his hand: "Go down, don't let it mess you up. I will ask King Qin myself later."

Eunuch Gao left.

On the square in front of the main hall, there was a wave of cheers.

For a while, it was from those merchants, for a while, it was from foreign envoys, and for a while, it was the scream of the noble lady who issued top-grade emeralds.

There was a businessman's first wife who extracted the glass seed from a rough stone that was as big as her fist, and immediately fainted.This will be the chaotic cries of the maids calling for first aid.

Li Er was a little dumbfounded, but overall he was happy.

Seeing Wu Zhao sitting there eating snacks with a calm face, Li Er asked, "What futures are Wu Lang talking about?"

Wu Zhao first explained the meaning of futures, and then said: "My Majesty does not know that wool has always been controlled by the Ministry of Commerce, regardless of the purchase price or the price sold to merchants. Even the price of wool products is also controlled, but it has been controlled. Can’t stop, some merchants secretly increase their consumption reports, but secretly sell [-]% of the goods on the black market.”

"I know this."

Needless to say, Li Er really knew that he had sent someone to investigate.

"For a piece of special-grade velvet cloth, the purchase price of the Department of Commerce is 33 guan, and the price in Chang'an is about 150 guan. But Chang'an City is out of stock, and the envoys of the Western Turks have complained twice about this. On the black market, The highest sold was [-] strings. There is nothing wrong with merchants seeking profit. This is because the rules have allowed merchants to take advantage of loopholes, just as Goro said before returning to heaven, increase the amount of wool purchased, and let merchants buy wool!"

Wu Zhao's little butt moved and squeezed in the chair, and leaned against Li Er's side in twos or twos.

"Your Majesty, let the merchants let go of the purchase. In order to grab raw materials, how many times does Your Majesty think they will increase the price?"

"According to the industry price in Chang'an City, triple it would be less!"

"So, Li Yuanxing has a dark heart. He has done so many tricks, and the ultimate goal is to let the grassland sell next year's wool at a lower price than expected. Then these things are futures, the Chang'an City Exchange Even if the price of this wool is increased by ten times, it is the Tang people who make money."

Li Er thought about Wu Zhao's words carefully.

In order to make Li Er understand better, Wu Zhao also drew a mathematical figure for Li Er.

Li Er understands, if the price of this thing is increased, the amount of money obtained on the grassland will not change, and the increased price is also to make money among the merchants in Datang, and every transaction, there are five thousandths of it returned to the exchange, Ten trades is 5.00%.

"Furthermore, the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty are so precious. The work of washing wool and rough carding of the wool was given to the grasslands. It was a coolie job, and Li Yuanxing would not do it. He asked the craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty to do the combing. There is also high-level textile work!" Wu Zhao whispered again.

Li Er nodded, he also thought that the number of craftsmen in Datang is still not enough, and it is best to have someone do the rough work.

Wu Zhao added: "In the end, the people on the grassland sold the money, and finally invested in Datang. Although they made a profit, the big head was in the hands of Li Yuanxing. They just ate some meat after Li Yuanxing ate meat. It’s just bones. The steel factory, no matter how much it earns, pays a tax to Datang first, so it can’t escape.”

Li Er understood, he understood the meaning of the word investment.

Snapped!Wu Zhao took out the identity paper from the steel factory again: "When the Huihe returned to the grasslands and prepared to fight Gaochang for the Tang Dynasty, this was the only thing they had in their hands."

"It's just a few pieces of paper!" Li Er exclaimed in his heart.

Wu Zhao was fair and explained: "Although it is paper, it is also money. This thing is still used as money."

"No!" Li Er shook his head with a smile: "I figured it out. Could it be that the family has to calculate for several days when Wulang sends money to the family. Their brains are not as good as Wulang. This is money, but it is also paper. This thing can One factor that turned into money is that I, Datang, admit that it is money, and Wulang's Qin Palace has credibility."

This time it was Wu Zhao who didn't understand.

Li Er whispered into Wu Zhao's ear and said with a smile: "I don't dare to spread my words indiscriminately. Let me tell you, in the former Sui Dynasty, if my cousin had these things made by Wu Lang now, I'm afraid It’s not that they don’t dare to rebel, because once they rebel, the paper will no longer be money, and it will really become paper.”

Li Er's words frightened Wu Zhao.

"Girl, think about it. Even if all I keep in the treasury is gold, how much can there be? When these papers are not used as money, let's not talk about whether the rebellion will succeed. Even if it is successful, this mess can continue." If a royal family is dragged to death, then we will not know who will take the actual benefits in the end."

Wu Zhao hurriedly covered his ears.

She knew that there were some words that she dared not listen to any more, it was extremely frightening.

Li Er laughed out loud.

Li Er understands that if the tribes on the grassland dare to fight the Tang Dynasty, they must realize that the money in your hands becomes paper.

Of course, send someone to observe.If anyone doesn't accept these papers, if they insist on hard goods, they will naturally have to be more careful.

Wu Zhao listened to Li Er's theory of rebellion, but was afraid.On the other side, he also sighed that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty cared most about his own country. In fact, Li Er didn't understand strategic economics.

This economic war is much more complicated than Li Er imagined.

When gambling on stones, it is natural that some people are happy and some are crying.

Someone secretly calculated that tonight's gambling with stones has a [-]% chance of getting jade, and the chance of getting treasures is only about [-]%.

As far as gambling is concerned, the probability is extremely high. Once there is a treasure, at least it is worth three times its value.

However, those who can go to the palace to participate in the night banquet are naturally not short of the few thousand coins. In the middle of the night, when the night banquet is about to end.All the lights in the front hall were lit.

What is the Golden Temple.

It was also the first time Li Er saw the dry ice fog, purple auspicious clouds, and golden light.There are countless glass arranged in the hall, either reflective or spherical, making the hall feel like a fairyland.

Li Er was drunk, drunk.

"Cut, the colored lanterns are only a few dollars!" Wu Zhao went to look for Li Yuanxing with her skirt in hand, and she planned to ask if there was no wood for the dragon chair.Even if it is less, it is good to get a few pendants.

The last group of merchants who entered the hall were driven out by the forbidden army reluctantly.

Those who entered first shouted regret, and should have entered last.

But the bell of the third watch had already rung, and everyone had to leave the palace.

Li Yuanxing still didn't return to Admiral Tiance's mansion, and asked the eunuch to carry a chair to Jieshi area.The craftsmen also worked hard, and each of them gave a reward of glutinous rice balls, a snack, and five ten-cent money.

Only then did Empress Changsun appear, followed by four noble concubines and a dozen ordinary concubines.

According to the ceremony, Li Yuanxing saluted Empress Changsun.It is an equal ceremony with the fourth concubine, but the rest of the concubines have to salute Li Yuanxing instead.Because Li Yuanxing is the king of Qin and Wu Zhao is young, these etiquettes can be exempted.

"I heard that Goro has private goods?" Empress Changsun asked directly without shyness.

Li Yuanxing nodded: "There are still a few boxes, at least all of them are green. I will open one box first, and the sisters-in-law will pick it first. Then I will bring a few back to Yingying and the others. I will go back tonight anyway." , always have some concerns!"

The status of ordinary concubines is too low. Eunuch Gao asked the eunuch to hold a tray with fist-sized emeralds on it. According to their status, some people took three pieces of jade, while others took one piece.It is not allowed for them to choose, what they take is nothing, whether there is a treasure depends on luck, but concubines are different, at least they can choose one or two by themselves.

Empress Changsun looked at a box brought out from Li Er's study, and asked, "This was picked by Wu Lang himself."

"Yes. But my brother used some other methods, just want to ensure that he can bring back some jadeite." After Li Yuanxing said, he picked up a piece that was the size of a watermelon, and asked the eunuch to carry it to the craftsman.Then he said to Empress Changsun: "This piece is a top-grade violet, and my brother thinks it is just right for the emperor's wife."

"Wu Lang is biased!" Concubine Yang has a very good relationship with Prince Qin's mansion, and she is the only one who dares to speak.

Li Yuanxing smiled, and asked the eunuch to move a few pieces on the ground: "These pieces are at least the third class. There are exactly four colors, namely, black ice ink, red jadeite, blue flower ice, and hibiscus water. The four sisters-in-law How about taking a gamble on your luck?"

Concubine Yang covered her mouth and said with a smile: "It's still a gamble, the four of us just divide it up. I happen to like ink colors."

The four of them naturally have their own favorites. Although it is not a coincidence, the four of them cater to the preferences of the four people, and they can be divided. After the craftsman wiped the skin, they can distinguish the colors and ask the eunuchs around them to collect the emeralds. good.

"My glass emperor green!" Wu Zhao dared to speak.

Li Yuanxing picked out a piece from it, which was a foot high. "This one is a bit variegated, but it definitely contains the imperial green of the glass species. It's all for you. You can share it yourself. In fact, you are also greedy enough. Next time I ask you to pull a boat back by yourself. This thing is not a meal. "

"Did you take it back to fool the concubines?" Wu Zhao didn't shy away.One sentence made Li Yuanxing so embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer this topic.On the contrary, Li Er still turned to Li Yuanxing at the critical moment, and said with a big smile, "I have asked someone to carry a box and send it to Admiral Tiance's Mansion, I'm afraid this meeting has already solved everything."

Wu Zhao pouted angrily.

Li Yuanxing didn't understand. Is it interesting for you, Wu Zhao, to occupy this kind of inappropriate food?

Concubine Yang also felt a little embarrassed, and asked, "What is glass emperor green?"

Li Yuanxing took out a silk bag from his briefcase and opened it!Inside is a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants in imperial green. In modern times, they were roughly cut by machine and roughly polished by computer-drawn lines. If they are really fine, they still have to be done by hand. Unfortunately, there is not enough time.
