Mohist Tang

“Su Lingnong, well-off!”

Su Lingnong slowly savored, his eyes gradually brightened, and at the same time, a feeling of shame in his heart suddenly rose to his heart, which actually solved the Great Tang people The problem of food and clothing should be solved by their Agricultural School of Thought.

However, it is not too late. With this kind of seed, the worlds food and clothing problem can definitely be solved.

“After a well-off?” Li Shimin asked.

“Rich!” said Mo Dun without the slightest hesitation.

Li Shimin looking thoughtful said: “Wealthy?”

“At that time, people will have no worries about food and clothing, children will be educated, the elderly will be provided with care, and the sick will be treated. Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. From then on, everyone can live in tall buildings, all teenagers can receive a good education, and everyone can get free medical care. Mo Dun painted a heart-stirring picture.

“Is this possible?”

Su Lingnong was immersed in it, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

“Of course it can be achieved, but it can’t be achieved in ten or eight years, then it will be achieved in 80 years and a hundred years.” Mo Dun said solemnly.

Li Shimin’s heart was shocked. Isn’t it like this in Mohist Village today? If the whole world is like Mohist Village, no, even if it reaches half the level of Mohist Village, then Li Tang’s Country will not last forever.

Agricultural School of Thought, Medical School of Thought, Mohist Family ___, Hundred Schools of Thought flashed in Li Shimin’s mind one after another, thinking secretly in his heart, maybe Hundred Schools The era of Thought of Thought is truly suitable for Great Tang’s existence.

“Of course, the best measure of whether the people are wealthy or not is the money in his hands. Every household can deposit hundreds of thousands of money and it can probably be called wealthy!” Mo Dun directly destroyed the atmosphere with a single sentence.

“Unbearable!” Li Shimin said grimly.

“You really dare to think, every household has hundreds of thousands of dollars, where is that many coins in Great Tang.” Su Lingnong also shook his head and lost said with a smile,

Great Tang 3,000,000 households , If every household had saved hundreds of thousands of money, Su Lingnong would be dizzy and dare to think of such a big number.

Li Shimin also lost a laugh. If so, how much copper is needed!

Great Tang has always been short of copper. In daily transactions, silk, juan, and silk are usually used as currency. There is a sentence in “Selling Tan Weng”: Niutou recharges charcoal.”

Although it portrays the scene of the impoverished people being exploited by palace people, it proves that silk fabrics were indeed used as currency in Tang Dynasty.

“It used to be impossible, but if cotton becomes popular in Great Tang, maybe it will be possible?” Su Lingnong said suddenly.

“Bai Diezi!” Li Shimin said suddenly.

At this time, Bai Diezi is a luxury like silk. Since the barbarians like Western Regions can be woven, how can it be a secret in the hands of the Mohist Family.

Mo Dun nodded said: “The cotton padded and cotton clothes are the youngster who discovered their value after getting the cotton, and the original purpose of the youngster was white stacks.”

Li Shimin is busy Asked: “putting it that way, Mohist Family has cracked the weaving method of white stacks?”

Mo Dun nodded said: “This is not difficult, this small official got the cotton to Mohist Village In just a few days, all the drawings from cotton stripping, spinning, and even weaving have been manufactured.”

“This weaving Mohist Family cannot be spread!” Li Shimin anxiously said.

“Why is this?” Su Lingnong wondered. It stands to reason that if Baidizi were woven in a large amount, it would be a huge income for the people of Great Tang, but Li Shimin actually stopped it.

Mo Dun explained: “Lord Su did not know that the people of Great Tang were short of copper coins. Many items were purchased with silk instead of copper coins. If the people of Great Tang suddenly appeared in the hands of a large amount of value comparable to silk Bai Diezi, and use this to buy goods, Lord Su can think about what will happen.”

This is exactly the same as the Theory of the later generations of banknotes. If there is an explosion of banknotes on the market, it is bound to Will cause a substantial depreciation of banknotes. Although silk and white stacks are higher in value than banknotes, they are not real money after all.

After Mo Dun told Theory again, Su Lingnong suddenly realized.

“And silk can be used in addition to trading, but if the people already have enough white stacks in their hands, I am afraid they will no longer be willing to ask for silk and Juan when selling things. Mo Dun said another serious matter. If Bai Diezi introduces Great Tang, it may cause silk fabrics to withdraw from the Great Tang currency market.

The biggest reason why silk can be used as currency is that the people’s demand for it is high, but if the people’s demand drops sharply, then naturally it can no longer be used as currency.

Li Shimin’s face was immediately embarrassed. He didn’t expect that cotton, which seemed to benefit the country and the people, would be involved in the reshuffle of the currency market.

If the value of silk depreciates significantly, the imperial court will suffer the most. Great Tang implements the Modulation of Tenancy, and the reconciliation is the expropriated silk. A large amount of silk is in the hands of the Imperial Court. . Once the price of silk products dropped significantly, the loss of the Imperial Court was not a little bit.

“Why don’t you postpone the cotton trial?” Su Lingnong cringed a little. There are too many benefits involved.

Mo Dun can’t help but sigh, the decline of Agricultural School of Thought is not without reason, its structure and vision are really too small.

Li Shimin pondered for a while, and looked towards Mo Dun and asked: “What do the Mohist Family think?.”

Mo Dun felt tight, and immediately knew Li Shimin’s test was coming. Nodded and said: Mohist Familys behavior has always been based on the three-list method. The first table, the things of the ancient holy king; the second table, the original observation of the peoples eyes and ears Actually “; the third table, “abolish (issue) as a criminal policy, and observe the interests of the people of the country”. This small official believes that this matter applies to the third table.”

“abolish (issue) Think of criminal politics and observe the interests of the people of the country. Li Shimin said.

“Yes! The promotion of cotton made me Great Tang. The people no longer endure the bitter cold, which is naturally beneficial to the people. How can we let the people suffer from the cold because we look forward and backward.” Mo Dun said.

“If there is a large backlog of silk, what about Sanghu?” Li Shimin asked.

Mo Dun faintly smiled and said: “In the Xi Market, there are a large number of foreign merchants not far from ten thousand li only for silk, but we are worried about too much silk?”

Li Shimin shook his head and said: “Western Regions Foreign Merchants will take one or two years to come and go, and there are too few things carried by the camel team, so we can’t transport much silk.”

“Then we You can put the silk transaction on the Yumen Pass, which saves at least 3000 li roads, which can save half of the time for Foreign Merchants, and even we can form caravans and send them to Western Regions and even the West.

In this way, when Great Tang’s silk sells well in Western countries, it is not known whether the silk will be sufficient, and at the same time a large amount of money is coming in, Great Tang’s money shortage crisis will naturally be solved.”

Mo Dun portrayed a lofty scene, and Li Shimin couldn’t help but be impressed.

“Moreover, the tools for stripping and spinning cotton are extremely simple, and the craftsmen of Chang’an City can easily make them. It will be sooner or later that Bai Diezi will appear in Great Tang, rather than lose one’s. head out of fear, it’s better to plan early.”

Mo Dun finally settled the tone.
