Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 257: Start lecture

The answer is obvious, Datang will fall apart overnight...Well, two nights, three nights at most, no more. If what Li Xin said came true, he dared to pledge his life, Chang'an would surely fall within three days, and Li Shimin's head would be hung on the tip of an unknown horse thief.

This is not alarmist talk, but the inevitable consequence of violating science and violating laws.

Li Xin waited patiently for a long time. From the eyes of these people in front of him, he could see that they could all guess the consequences.

"How? According to your statement, isn't money the thing that can be used to buy things as stipulated by the law? Then, logically speaking, your Majesty’s decree, the leaves of the sycamore tree can be used to buy things, and it should be It's'money'. Why can't it?" Li Xin asked very slowly, the ending sound like a drum of war, struggling **** everyone's heart.

Everyone looked at each other. They can clearly feel the irrationality of using phoenix leaves as money, but they just can't use words to capture this subtle difference.

The smile on Li Xin's face became brighter, even a bit despicable.

Hey, don't tell me, the feeling of crushing IQ is so cool. Are you bloated? Isn't it amazing? Now it's an answer!

Li Xin touched his nose a little to cover part of his smile so as not to arouse the disgust of the group of students in front of him.

He coughed slightly, then pointed to the mustache beside him and asked, "For another example, I owe you a hundred renminbi, wrote you an IOU, and pressed my fingerprint. At this time, you see that This man has the original scripture in his hand, and I really like it. However, you have no money except my IOU. So you proposed to use the IOU to'buy' the scripture. The man also agreed. . So, is this IOU money?"

The moustache head was as big as a fight. After this, that and that for a long time, I couldn't say anything.

IOUs are products that comply with legal requirements. In Li Xin's example, it can also be used to buy things. However, if it is said to be "money", there seems to be something wrong...

The small household officials present were crazy. Seeing the smile on Li Xin's face was like seeing some terrifying monster grinning at them. They have no doubt about one thing: As long as they dare to answer questions, Li Xin can ask them to be speechless by asking one or two questions, allowing them to clearly realize how ignorant they are.

Alas, it's so simple.

Although Li Xin stood on the shoulders of giants, although his face was calm, he had already smiled in his heart. As for how splendid this flower blooms... the language really can't describe it.

Finally, Mustache lowered his head first and said, "The student has given up."

After setting a precedent, most people followed suit and bowed their heads. In the end, the young man with the Chinese character face was in a dilemma, so he could only sit down obediently, and no longer had the arrogant fighting spirit a moment ago.

Li Xin smiled openly when he saw this.

"So, His Royal Highness, what exactly is money?" The mustache asked. He is a bit assiduously Confucian.

Li Xin nodded approvingly and replied: "This question is not that simple. To really tell what money is, first I have to ask you to imagine with me. Imagine that we are not Datang, but uncivilized barbarians. . We don’t know what money is at all, we only know about farming, raising chickens, raising ducks, nothing more."

"If I have too many chickens, and one day I suddenly want to eat a duck for a different taste, then I can only exchange it with the person who raises the duck. If the other person also wants to eat chicken, then I can trade the chicken for the duck. right?"

"However, this is the ideal situation. What if the duck raiser happens to not want to eat chickens or goose?"

The mustache smiled and said, "Then exchange chickens for gooses, and then exchange gooses for ducks."

"Then...the people who raise geese don't want to eat chicken, but do they want to eat rice?"

Mustache: "..."

Li Xin laughed and said: "There are more than thousands of products in the world, and everyone wants different things. If you really exchange things like this, you really don’t know how much brains it takes. So, the simple truth lies in it. Before our eyes-if I want the most convenient exchange of chickens for ducks, then my wisest choice is to change the chicken to something that the duck raiser is least likely to refuse, that is, most people like it. Things that would never be rejected."

He continued: "Theoretically speaking, this thing can be anything. But in fact, it is not the case. For a thing to be liked by most people, it must first have a few basic requirements. For example, it must not It will be too easy to get. So, do you now know why phoenix tree leaves can't be used as money but copper and silk can be used as money?"
