Chapter 2361: Foreign Wealth and Domestic Demand

The people of the Nantian family, who were hit, did not consider spending money for the time being. The development of the family was the most important thing.

In fact, it was Nantian Hezi who told them that Beiqu would cost 300 strings of cash a night, and it was a friendly price.

Since Beiqu came here, she has been studying in the library all day, or practicing musical instruments, songs, and dances.

They have good teachers, people from the Liyuan.

Gongsun Da Niang and Wu Daozi are both in the Liyuan.

To study knowledge, the prime ministers definitely don’t have time, but there are officials from the Imperial College and people from the Hongwen Academy.

Find them, they are willing to chat with beautiful women for a few more words.

If others are too busy, you can also go to the library to find the administrator, or go to the artificial lake to see if there are any small robots basking in the sun.

If you catch a small robot, it will tell you all the knowledge, faster than reading a book yourself.

Now the small robot is used as a tool for searching information in the Political Affairs Hall. If you write a letter to a county in a prefecture and can’t remember the local situation, ask the small robot.

The information about the small robot is entered in advance. Every time officials from all over the court are transferred, the data is summarized and entered.

The prime ministers could not remember who the county magistrate was, unless they had a particularly deep impression of him.

Who could memorize the number of households and tribute in the local area?

While the people of Nantian family were walking and looking dumbfounded, trains were transporting things from Haizhou to Zhuangzi one after another.

The farmers took the book to register and check.

Lan Bao wrote down the approximate purity and weight of the items received, as well as the type, grade and quantity of seafood.

The farmers confirmed when they received them. If it was right, they would tick it, and if it felt wrong, they would draw a question mark.

While receiving, the farmers counted.

For two consecutive days, all the goods of the thirty large ships were received and checked again. Li Yi found Li Longji like a thief.

Li Longji had just finished reviewing the memorial and was about to go out to take a look. Seeing Li Yi coming, he quickly asked someone to close the door.

"Brother Yi, how is it?" Li Longji lowered his voice.

Li Yi stretched out his hand and spread his five fingers: "Five million strings of cash."

"Is Japan so rich?" Li Longji considered the national strength.

"They don't have good smelting technology, so they have no use for the ore. They just leave a lot of it there, and there's a place to exchange it.

Most of them exchange for iron products and salt. They don't know how to dry salt. As long as the price of salt is lower than that of others' boiled salt, they will ship it by ship.

In addition, the value is not measured according to the price level of Japan. Things that are worth five million strings of cash in our Tang Dynasty are worthless in Japan.

Japan doesn't care about seafood and deer antlers. Many seafood are caught by our ships."

Li Yi first talked about the value issue. Is tea valuable in the Tang Dynasty? Green tea is kept secret, and fermented tea is available in every household. It is used to entertain guests and drink it yourself.

Give it to the Later Turks and see if the price is still the same?

Silk is not cheap in the Tang Dynasty. The price increases dozens of times when it is shipped outside via the Silk Road.

"Yeah! That's the reason. Will there be such a large amount next time?" Li Longji nodded.

"It should be more than this time, because we have more ships going there, carrying a lot of things, including soap and matches.

Others have already known that it is the location for the exchange of goods in the Tang Dynasty, and some people are probably storing goods.

When the maritime trade routes in other places are explored, I will not be surprised if we can bring back goods worth hundreds of millions of strings of cash a year."

Li Yi evaluated Lan Bao's words, and everyone in Pingchengjing knew the local situation.

Thanks to the Tang Dynasty's army, otherwise it would have been robbed and Lan Bao would have been captured.

I just met Li Longji at the beginning, and Yao Chong was always thinking about Li Longji.

"The main thing is food. Other pearls and other things can be bought or not. Buy food from overseas, and the Tang Dynasty will store it. It will be easy to save enough food for nine years."

Li Longji always remembered to store enough food for nine years. It was written in the book.

A country without nine years of reserves is said to be insufficient, without six years of reserves is said to be urgent, and without three years of reserves is not its country. Three years of farming will have one year of food, and nine years of farming will have three years of food. With 30 years of trade, even if there are severe droughts and floods, the people will have no vegetables.

Li Yi agreed: "Food, solve the most important problem first."

He actually thought that there was no need for nine years of food, three years would be enough, and it could still be planted.

But people in ancient times were afraid of starvation, and they would really starve to death.

Then there might be rebellion, and the country would be in turmoil.

"Next year, let the people eat more sweet potatoes and potatoes, and save the staple food that can be preserved." Li Longji added.

"Okay! What the third brother said makes sense. Wait for overseas trade to make money, the court can issue Tang paper money, and the exchange coupons will be slowly withdrawn."

In addition to saying that Japan makes money, Li Yi came here for more reasons.

He can't always use Zhuangzi's exchange coupons to support it, and he should withdraw it when he should.

"The issuance of paper money also needs you, brother Yi, others are worried about their brother, they are greedy for money. Don't you keep some exchange coupons?"

Li Longji also wanted to replace the exchange coupons. Everyone agreed that the country is the country.

"It's just that we won't print anymore, we'll slowly recycle it, and some of it will continue to circulate, and be used as rewards for teachers, teachers, and children in the school."

Li Yi knew that in the short term, the exchange vouchers of Lijiazhuangzi would still circulate together with the paper money of the Tang Dynasty.

Even when the Tang Dynasty paper money was issued, Lijiazhuangzi came forward to guarantee it.

Otherwise, if the court took it out, others would not recognize it. When the two currencies were circulated together, the people would not be willing to accept the court's paper money in the early stage. uukanshu.net

Lijiazhuangzi needs to borrow money from the court first, without interest, and use this money to buy things.

When selling, recycle the exchange vouchers and set up more places.

Continuing the school, the special exchange coupons are no longer about money, but have additional attributes.

Another way to put it is: everything is inferior, only reading is superior.

It is not to deliberately elevate scholars, but to ask everyone to have a certain amount of knowledge reserves.

Now in some places, when doing business, addition and subtraction, you still need counting sticks to help, otherwise you can't calculate.

Shouldn't simple arithmetic operations be mental arithmetic? When you talk about buying things, weighing catties and taels, the calculation formula should appear in your mind.

In fact, it is quite difficult. For example, one catty is five cents, cut it, one catty is three taels and three, and it takes a while to calculate.

One catty is sixteen taels, and the relationship between three cents and two is decimal.

First, get how much one tael is, multiply it by three, divide it by ten, multiply it by three, and add the previous catty.

You can add a decimal point after the tael to multiply it. Three taels and three is how much one tael is, multiply it by three and a half.

Finally, after calculating, one catty of three taels and three meat is sold for six cents and three cents and one cent and two cents, which is six cents, and then give you a bone, take it away!

What? You still want to spare a pair of kidneys? Okay, I'll give it to you. You're so young, you need to be restrained. I know someone who can treat this disease. Why are you running away?

"Hehehe..." Li Yi couldn't help laughing as he thought about it.

Li Longji was surprised, but he didn't ask Brother Yi why he laughed.

"Let's have a special abacus class for the children. Anyone can provide the abacus. There is a lathe, it's easy to make, and there is no shortage of wood."

Li Yi thought of another small detail, and he couldn't change the measurement immediately.

Everyone used a pole scale, and the stars were marked. Suddenly it became a decimal system, and the scale had to be adjusted.

Let's just bring a small abacus. Each child has one, how cute!
