The Tang Dynasty pursued the strategy of money and silk, that is, silk is also a kind of currency, for which the Tang Dynasty strictly stipulated the size, thickness, and weight of silk cloth, and listed the same exchange formula, today, a very ordinary silk cloth is about one hundred and fifty yuan, but the high-quality silk satin, it is quite expensive, some are afraid of several dollars, but a high-quality silk is not heavy, easy to trade, because its own value is high.

Since it is a coin, it must be uniform, the size is limited, and if the size is diversified, then it will be difficult to value, and the market will be chaotic.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't understand what Han Yi meant for a while, and said curiously: "You go on." ”

"Yes!" Han Yi shook slightly, and continued: "The people often say that small coins are used for small money, and silk is used for large money, that is to say, copper coins are used for small money, and silk is used for large money, but people often use a foot of silk cloth to buy food, but what is the real value of this foot of silk cloth? What can it do, can only be used as a rag, as the kid said earlier, the larger the size of the silk cloth, the more valuable, because the larger the size, the greater the effect, once divided, its own value will shrink, so that the silk cloth market will continue to shrink because of these divided silk cloth, after all, it will still withdraw from the stage of coins. ”

This sentence is like five thunderbolts.

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned suddenly, and then immediately fell into deep thought.

The same is true for Chu Suiliang.

Silk cloth, if it is completely treated as currency, there will be a lot of difficulties, a foot of cloth is money, but the question is, where is the value of a foot of cloth? Its value is very low. The same amount of silk cloth is compared with a whole piece of silk cloth compared to a foot of silk cloth composed of one foot and one foot of silk cloth. The former is obviously more valuable, but if you look at it in monetary terms, then the two should be equal.

That's the contradiction.

This contradiction was enough to pull silk cloth out of the money market.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji is smart, he does not have super talents in this area, nor does he have advanced knowledge, so he can't see so far. Busy asked, "Then what do you think should be?" ”

Han Yi said: "Xiaomin believes that sooner or later, silk cloth will still get rid of the role of coins and be completely a commodity, because silk cloth is a commodity, not a coin." But we can delay this phenomenon and let it exit slowly, so that the problem does not suddenly erupt and cause chaos in the market. The only way to do this is to diversify and standardize the size of the silk cloth.

Strictly regulate the size of the silk cloth, just like the copper coin, so as to meet the essence of the coin.

We can standardize the size of the silk cloth according to the actual situation, so as to ensure that the value of the silk cloth is not weakened, we can formulate three sizes, large silk cloth. Medium silk cloth, small silk cloth. Large silk cloth is naturally used to make bed sheets, medium horses are used to make clothes, and small horses are used for smaller ranges, but this size is determined according to the daily needs of the people. In this way, it can not only ensure that the value of the silk cloth is not affected by the size, but also make the market more abundant. There will be no waste, and the people will not lose a complete silk cloth because of a rag. ”

He is reasonable, not exaggerated.

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded slightly and said, "But it's easy for you to say, but it's difficult to implement." ”

Han Yi said: "I think the rule of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty also started from the most difficult time." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned. He really can't refute this, Li Shimin said that at the beginning of the emperor, what was waiting for him was a country full of holes, and it was so difficult that Li Shimin complained to his courtiers that this country was in chaos like this, can we govern it well.

Even Li Shimin said such things, which can be imagined, but how grim the situation is, and no one thought that there would be a Zhenguan rule later. Of course, if you look at it from the perspective of the size of the land, the rule of Zhenguan will inevitably appear, as long as the emperor doesn't cheat too much.

Chu Suiliang said: "But now it is very difficult to standardize one size of silk cloth, let alone standardize multiple sizes. ”

Han Yidao: "The reason why it is so difficult to standardize one size of silk cloth is because everyone needs multiple sizes of silk cloth, so multiple sizes will make things easier." As for how to standardize, we have to start from the roots. ”

"From the roots?"

Chu Sui said curiously: "How to start from the roots? ”

Han Yi said: "Of course, it has been standardized since the time of weaving. ”

"When weaving?" Chu Suiliang said: "Are you talking about a loom? ”

"Exactly, exactly, the right servant is really clever and quick, and the kid admires it very much." Han Yi nodded repeatedly.

Chu Suiliang was suddenly stunned, pointed at Han Yi and scolded with a smile: "Good boy, I have been here for a long time, just to induce me to say this." ”

You know it's too late. Han Yi lowered his head and said, "How dare the kid." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "If you don't say it, it's already said, don't mind Dengshan." As he spoke, he said to Han Yi: "You go on." ”

Han Yi said: "The size of the loom will directly affect the size of the silk cloth, if you want to standardize the size of the silk cloth, the best way is to standardize the size of the loom first." However, the current folk looms are very messy and have not been unified, so the size of the silk cloth is different in different places, and it often causes disputes. The boy is not talented, I wish Mao Sui to recommend himself, this new loom of the boy, small to every part is strictly standardized, and can be large or small, the largest needs to be operated by three people, and it is constantly simplifying, and the small one only needs one hand to hold, the operation is very simple, even the last thatched house can weave a small inch of cloth. ”

I believe in this first, and we can see if it works or not, and the key is not this.

Chu Suiliang said: "Although your method is good, but the feasibility is really worrying, if you say so, then every household must have a loom like yours." ”

Han Yi said: "The right servant's shooting is really powerful, and the stakes can be derived with one word." ”

Chu Suiliang said angrily: "It's not as good as you." ”

He also knew that he was completely taken away by Han Yi, but he had already entered the trap, and it was difficult to get out!

Han Yicheng was terrified, but he didn't dare to sell well again if he got cheap, and said, "The kid is still the same sentence." I can't not do it because of difficulties, as long as it can make my Datang develop better, as long as it is still feasible, the imperial court should have the courage to try, otherwise my Datang will only stop. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Then what should I do?" ”

Han Yi said: "Public-private cooperation. ”

"Public-private cooperation?"

The eldest grandson Wuji was slightly stunned. Now in these years, no one dares to say this, why should you, an ordinary person, cooperate with the imperial court.

Han Yi said: "Although the imperial court can be promoted on a large scale, but at the same time, there are many rules, and the process of operation is very cumbersome, but it cannot achieve the effect, but the private is different, and the private can be flexible and more effective to implement." Let's just say that Xiaomin's poverty alleviation plan can benefit many people, but if this poverty alleviation plan is implemented by the imperial court, it will cause very great repercussions and difficulties, but if the imperial court gives a little help, it will get twice the result with half the effort. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Speaking of your poverty alleviation plan, I still want to ask you." Don't say it, you're all about the people. What's so funny about it? ”

Han Yi said: "What Uncle Guo said is that after all, the kid still has to support his family and can't send money outside, but it's not as Uncle Guo said, there is something hidden in it, and the kid still hopes that my Datang can be better." It's not bragging. In fact, there are many ways for Xiaomin to make money, and they don't need to do these thankless things, and they can bring a lot of money to Xiaomin just by relying on drama. And, at the end of the day, the kid still needs to collect money. It's just that it's not a one-time payment, and the kid still hasn't lost anything after all. But this is not the purpose of the kid, the kid mainly hopes that my Datang can be richer and stronger.

My Datang is like a phoenix, taking off in the war, but also because of the war, the population loss is huge, much lower than that of the previous dynasty, and the population is the foundation of a country. Although it has been growing at the moment, it is also extremely limited, and the key thing is that this cannot be rushed. So the kid thinks that how to use the limited population to produce enough food and cloth, the key is still the tool, the kid this new loom than the previous loom to double the production, if everyone uses my new loom, then even the same population, my Datang's wealth can also grow a lot, the same is true of Xiong Feili. ”

That's a pretty good thing to say.

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded slightly, and said, "At your young age, if you really have this kind of thought, it is really rare!" ”

Chu Suiliang also nodded in agreement.

But then Chu Suiliang said: "But just for you personally, how to popularize this loom throughout the country." ”

Old man, if you want to, just say it, I, Han Yi, care about this, then you can't help but underestimate people. Han Yi smiled: "Of course, this is still dominated by the imperial court, the kid just follows the court, with meager strength, to assist the court, for this kid is willing to hand over everything about the loom, including its production method, the kid dares to guarantee that if the kid's production method is adopted, its efficiency will be greatly increased." In addition, the Boy loom is assembled, and it is very convenient to transport, which is conducive to popularization. ”

It is impossible for him not to hand over this loom, Chu Suiliang was speechless when he said it just now, it was only because Chu Suiliang was not fully prepared, but as long as the imperial court issued an official document and levied this loom, as far as contemporary rules are concerned, Han Yi must be handed over, because in today's social background, it is completely impossible to fully protect his intellectual property rights, and once this loom is sold, it is relatively easy to imitate. Of course, those big families can still do it, their scriptures will not be passed on, and the court will not give them if they want them, this is because they have this strength, and Han Yi does not have this strength at present.

But then again, it is not uncommon for him to make money from these, and he is still willing to help the imperial court popularize this loom as soon as possible, because it can indeed benefit the people.

The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly realized, yes, if it is transported one by one, it is thankless, and if it is a piece of wood, it will be much more convenient. smiled: "It seems that you have been prepared!" ”

Han Yi said truthfully: "If the kid is not fully prepared, how dare he present this loom." ”
