Chapter 1776: The Court’s Reading and Speech Are Shallow

The people on the boat could not hear the conversation between the Tibetan envoys. Amid cheers, the yacht docked at its original position.

The gangplank was set up and everyone got off the boat one by one.

Lijiazhuangzi is adjacent to Baqiao. The road is wide and there are no tall trees and buildings.

There is an endless stream of material teams transporting in and out of the suspension bridge of Baqiao, with flatbed trucks one after another, mainly delivering goods.

In the south of the city, many semi-finished ingredients were sent over at noon, including fermented noodles and soaked rice noodles and rice vermicelli.

For example, duck blood rice vermicelli is slaughtered in large quantities outside, and it is inconvenient to handle the blood and hair.

Lijiazhuangzi bought ducks and packed them up, processed duck down, and fermented other inedible things.

Duck blood is specially processed, and duck bones are sent over to make soup.

Now the copper coins are generally sent in. Merchants collect copper coins from other places and exchange them for coupons. There is a price difference in the middle.

Lijiazhuangzi looks at the appearance. Different exchange rates are given for bad coins according to different appearances.

Otherwise, people outside would not sell things to Lijiazhuang at noon, only copper coins, silver, and gold. It was too far to come here, and they couldn't wait.

'Clang', a sack was not strong, it cracked, and a lot of copper coins flowed out.

Move these copper coins to the side, the car continues to move, and go back to pick them up with a shovel.

"How much money can there be in a bag?" Princess Jincheng saw it and considered the quantity.

"Small bag, not much, about 20,000 coins. The big sack is full and can't be lifted."

Princess Yongmu took a look and gave an answer based on experience.

"I thought there were only a few thousand coins." Princess Jincheng obviously didn't understand the situation of copper coins piled up together and underestimated.

"Unless it is exchanged for a bag of one cent exchange coupons, a bag of thousands of coins." Princess Yongmu said with a smile.

"Yes! The exchange coupon depends on the face value, for example, 10 million strings can only be packed into a box." Princess Jincheng had tears in her eyes while speaking.

She had 10 million strings, and Lijiazhuang guaranteed the value of the exchange coupons, and she took it to spend in Tubo.

All the people in Tubo need to curry favor with her, because they can't rob her, and she has a lot of elites around her.

"Yuanyuan, I have more than 9.3 million coins of exchange coupons left, why don't you take them back." Princess Jincheng knows that money is not so easy to earn.

In the past few years, the rent collected by the Tang Dynasty in a year was less than 10 million coins.

Look at Tubo, more than 600,000 coins, basically buying out other people's good things.

Princess Yongmu took Princess Jincheng's arm and lowered her voice: "Sister Nunu, that money can't be spent in the Tang Dynasty."

"Why?" Princess Jincheng asked naturally.

"Without collateral, once you spend it, it becomes credit currency. But the Tibetans take the exchange coupons to the Tang Dynasty, basically to buy luxury goods.

When buying high-tech goods from Lijiazhuangzi, Lijiazhuangzi will turn the credit currency into base currency through profits.

You have to continue to buy things in Tubo, otherwise it will be printed in vain, which has costs.

When the time comes, the exchange coupons will be circulated within Tubo, especially for large transactions, and you can send the purchased items to the Tang Dynasty to sell.

The profit difference in the middle will once again compensate for the value of the over-issued currency."

Princess Yongmu explained the content of monetary economics to Princess Jincheng, and it cannot be returned all at once.

Lijiazhuangzi will be embarrassed to buy more than 9 million strings of exchange coupons in Jingzhao Prefecture.

Princess Jincheng didn't fully understand. She lowered her head and looked at the road to think about it, and asked: "Can't spend it in Datang?"

"If you buy other people's things in Tubo, the exchange coupons they get can be spent in Datang, but yours can't.

For example, if you want to buy grain, more than 9 million strings of cash will be dropped, and the grain prices in Jingzhao Prefecture can't afford it.

Buying livestock, poultry, etc. is not allowed, but buying kerosene lamps, mirrors, and bicycles is no problem."

Princess Yongmu can distinguish clearly, and must make it clear. What you want, give it to you, don't spend money hard.

Princess Jincheng thought hard and had a little idea: "I am a merchant in Tubo. I use a lot of things to sell in Datang and get exchange coupons.

I save them, and suddenly one day I buy grain hard. Will Jingzhao Prefecture sell it?"

Princess Jincheng thought she had found the disadvantages of currency.

"Are you hoarding in Datang or sending it back to Tubo?" Princess Yongmu asked with a blink of an eye.

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course. You hoarded in the Tang Dynasty, and as you bought, the grain price gradually increased.

When you finished buying, the Changping Warehouse opened, and within an hour, the grain price was pushed back to the original price.

Your grain will rot if you hoard it, and you will lose money if you sell it.

You want to take it back to Tubo, collect taxes, and collect export taxes. You buy 100 strings of grain and ship it out, and you may be charged 50 strings, or 200 strings."

Princess Yongmu explained with a smile, and whispered: "Sister Nunu, don't think about it. There are already means waiting for this aspect, which are prepared for the aristocratic families, but unfortunately they don't jump in."

"If I have a lot of money, it won't work even if I ask you to open the Changping Warehouse?" Princess Jincheng argued.

"Where does the money come from? You have to sell things to get money. If you sell a lot of things, the things will be worthless."

"What if I find a large amount of gold and exchange it for exchange coupons to buy grain?" Princess Jincheng continued to argue.

Li Yi said from the side: "Lijiazhuangzi issued new exchange coupons that were only circulated in Jingzhao Prefecture, and at the same time raised the price of grain by dozens of times. The newly printed exchange coupons were distributed to the people in the form of subsidies."

"What if I buy it somewhere else?" Princess Jincheng wanted to argue to the end.

"Changping Warehouse adopts a sales quota system, and the number is limited by household registration." Li Yi felt that Princess Jincheng should be taught a lesson.

He then said: "In the face of power, all means are useless.

If you really have the economic strength, why don't you organize an army? You take the money to the Tang Dynasty to find loopholes?

I do business, I can sell whatever I want, and I will not bully you if I sell according to the household registration.

Otherwise, I will arbitrarily accuse you of a crime, confiscate all your money, and arrest you."

"Since you can arrest people, why do you still need household registration restrictions?" Princess Jincheng didn't argue this time.

"Administrative orders are aimed at major aspects. Once they are implemented, they will involve the entire Tang Dynasty. For additional minor emergencies, economic means are sufficient.

Only incompetent courts will act like hooligans. If they can't do it, they will stare at other people's shops in the name of national security, such as..."

Li Yi stopped talking and realized that Princess Jincheng didn't know.

"Is there a shop that can make a country afraid? Oh! Yes, your Li Family Manor makes others hate and fear it."

Princess Jincheng thought of the power of Li Family Manor herself, walked a hundred steps, and listened to a lot of things she didn't understand.

Following Li Yi, my cousin has become more powerful?

Dalun of Tubo never said this, he always consulted with others.

"Can the prince learn this kind of knowledge?"

Princess Jincheng believes that this kind of ability should be passed on to the family and not to outsiders, and to men but not women. What should I do if it involves the royal family?

"There is a book!" Princess Yongmu said: "What I just said is simple, and the more difficult ones are also printed into books and distributed to the ministers in the court."
