Chapter 599 Economics and Desire to Lead the Team

Two fireworks in Chang'an, a year of farewell. Last year's stars shine, life is boundless.

In the middle of the night, the rumbling fireworks bloomed in the sky.

People in Chang'an ran out and looked up. In addition to the fireworks in the imperial city, there were also fireworks in Li's village.

Some big fireworks flew high and exploded in the sky. Even the west of Chang'an could see them.

Old people, looking at the laughing children, felt that they were one year older.

Children just look forward to growing up, wondering when they can be like other people.

"Drink." Bi Gou was in high spirits. He had only eaten a few bites of food just now and didn't touch the wine.

When the midnight arrived, he picked up the cup and looked at everyone. It was the New Year.

After drinking, he continued to mutter: "A kerosene lamp that costs 100 strings of cash is sold for 80 strings of cash tax, and a kerosene that costs 10 strings of cash and 4,000 milliliters is sold for 1 string of cash.

A thermos that costs 200 strings of cash is sold for 160 strings of cash. I wish the Li family's business will be prosperous in the new year."

Bi Gou sincerely hoped that Li Yi would make more money. He had never felt so strongly before.

Wei Zhigu looked at Bi Gou and shook his head helplessly. It was difficult to be the Minister of Revenue.

Thank goodness that I am not the Minister of Revenue now, otherwise I would not be much better than Bi Gou.

At dawn, Li Longji held a grand court meeting, and all the envoys from other countries attended.

Li Yi was not interested in the court meeting. He went to see the patient. The patient in Tubo was in good health.

There was no inflammation of the wound, but it was boring to look at lying there.

Others helped to deal with the urine, but there was no big one. They were used to give nutrition. The stomach and intestines were completely empty.

The patient was still surprised that he could survive.

Having died once, he now cherishes the opportunity to live.

"Don't worry, depending on the situation, you can try to speak in a few days, but it still hurts."

The medicine Li Yi gave still contains analgesics, and the dosage cannot be too large, otherwise it will become addictive.

The patient blinked his eyes with curiosity in his eyes.

"You want to ask me why I saved you, right?" Li Yi guessed.

The patient blinked hard.

"You should have heard it at that time. I wanted to give you a quick death. Your injuries were too severe. I didn't want to pay a big price, and finally you died."

Li Yi began to talk about his mental journey at that moment.

"But Yu Lin Feiqi wanted to save you. They wanted to see what degree of injury I could save at most. Saving you was to see my medical skills."

The patient looked at the shed, and his heart was uneasy.

Your life and death depended on the ideas of Yu Lin Feiqi. Thank Yu Lin Feiqi?

"Don't think too much. Since you are alive, think about the future. Saving you cost me a lot, and you have to make it up to me."

Li Yi smiled, patted the patient's arm, and got up and left.

"Owner, many people are outside, wanting to buy kerosene lamps and thermos."

Song De came over happily in new clothes.

"Sell them, and advertise them. From tomorrow, kerosene lamps will be 120 taels each, and thermos will be 240 taels each."

Li Yi knew why many people bought kerosene lamps and thermos today.

Many people hope to use good things in the new year, and things are also bought in the new year.

Especially those who follow the learning to grow greenhouse vegetables, who have made money this year and want to buy more.

After the new year, greenhouse vegetables began to be taxed, 10% tax.

"Owner, is the price going up because of the tax? If other merchants pay taxes, will the price of the goods go up as well, and the loss will be passed on to the buyers?"

Song De's perspective on the problem is different from before.

"When the price of some goods goes up because of taxes, the price of other goods will go up accordingly after a period of time."

Li Yi seems to have planned this long ago.

He went on to say: "There are two ways to solve it. One is administrative intervention to limit prices; the other is for the market to adjust itself and achieve balance."

"If everyone rises together, how can we adjust? Money is worthless." Song De found out the problem.

"Only when more money is issued can it be worthless. If the total amount of money remains unchanged, it will be inflation in a short period of time.

Afterwards, because they can't afford it and have no money in hand, their purchasing power will decrease. They can only lower prices when selling things. This is called deflation.

If merchants would rather let things rot than sell them at a lower price, the consequence will be an economic crisis..."

Seeing that Song De was willing to learn, Li Yi patiently explained.

Song De forgot to sell kerosene lamps and thermoses, so he found a place to sit down, took out a notebook and pen from his pocket, and wrote down the key points.

Li Chengqi came over at this time, listened to what Li Yi said, and looked at Song De's notes.

He was not in a hurry to talk about things, so he sat there and listened.

"The real economic crisis is not an absolute oversupply, but the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few people.

Our Tang Dynasty is based on agriculture, and grain is abundant, so prices fall. When low grain prices hurt farmers, it can only mean one thing."

Li Yi paused.

"What's the problem?" Li Chengqi asked naturally.

"Foreign trade is not good enough, and industrial development is flawed.

When there is too much grain, we can raise more livestock and poultry.

Adjusting the industrial structure and rationally allocating resources are the abilities that a country's upper echelons must have.

Early detection, early prevention, and early implementation are necessary.

Now the Tang Dynasty has done a good job, stipulating the proportion of planting and breeding in each person's field."

Li Yi briefly talked about the solution to the problem of low grain prices hurting farmers.

"When grain is expensive, it hurts the people." Li Chengqi said from an opposing perspective.

"So, there should be financial subsidies. The purpose of collecting taxes is to get through the adjustment period through subsidies during the adjustment process..."

Li Yi started to talk about the problem of expensive grain hurting farmers.

Tell the two people that when grain is cheap, the state will subsidize farmers, the price of grain will not change, and other people will still eat cheap grain.

In this process, grain can be used for large-scale breeding and winemaking.

Wait for the grain supply to decrease, cancel the subsidies, and maintain balance.

"This is the meaning of the court's existence. From the initial people, a leader is selected, and the purpose is to let the leader lead himself to a good life.

Now it is not about selecting a leader, but a change of dynasty. Whoever is in that position will shoulder the mission of leading the people to a good life."

Li Yi did not say that a complete market economy does not exist in the world.

Which country needs administrative intervention, otherwise what is the purpose of choosing you as the leader?

"That's all for today, go sell things." Li Yi looked at Song De.

"Yes, they are still waiting." Song De put away his notebook and ran away.

"Brother Yi, let me ask you, you have an agreement with the Khitans, what are you going to do next?"

Li Chengqi came with questions. In the new year, when everyone starts working, policies must be put forward.

What is unclear is what kind of economic and cultural exchanges Li Yi is trying to get the Khitans to play.

This is definitely not Li Yi's own business. UU reading www.uukanshu.net involves the concerns of the Tang Dynasty and the Khitans.

Whether it is peace or war, the ministers must have a number in their hearts.

"The next step is trade. From here, go a little north, take the grassland, and through the grassland you will reach the Khitan. The road is easy to walk, and the horse pulls the sleigh."

Li Yi pointed to the north. He wanted to take the route from Inner Mongolia to Liaoning and bypass Shanxi.

The road in Shanxi is not easy to walk in winter, and it will not achieve his goal.

"Who will lead the team?" Li Chengqi hesitated. Going around the grassland?

It is now the territory of the Turks, not the Shanyu Protectorate. It is outside the Great Wall and dangerous.

"I will go." Li Yi pointed to himself.
