Chapter 23: The Theory of Wealth

Xia Di tried the dialogue function again and found that there was no difference from before.

"It seems that Aiqing's biggest achievement this time is to supply energy. How much does this energy cost? ”

"It's one percent of the original."

"One percent? Are you sure? ”

"Sure!"

"What else can I do besides charging my phone?"

"Let's put it this way, as long as the power stone can do the work, it can basically be solved."

Emperor Xia looked up to the sky and smiled, and after a long time, he realized that this was a loss of majesty, and immediately stopped laughing. But it was really uncomfortable, and my face turned red. If it were someone else, Liu Meng would definitely say: If you want to laugh, laugh, don't hold back. But in front of him was His Majesty the Emperor, and he didn't dare. In case, the emperor's nerve is wrong and wants to behead him, then he will be suffocated to death.

From another angle, if he sat in this position, he would have to swell even more.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to tell you."

"I'm in a good mood today, let's say, I'll be satisfied with anything."

"This matter is mainly what I mentioned before, first, I want to build a power station to connect every household with electricity. Second, I want to build a base station. ”

Emperor Xia pondered for a moment and said, "How much more money do you want?" ”

Sure enough, you understand me.

Liu Meng hurriedly said: "Thirty thousand taels of silver." “

"How much?"

"Twenty thousand taels."

"Say it again."

"Your Majesty, less than this number is really not enough."

"Not enough, do you know how much silver is left in the treasury? The border still has to be guarded, the army still has to be raised, where can you get so much silver for you to squander. ”

"Your Majesty, I have a plan, it's not that I should talk about it or not."

"Say."

"Your Majesty, what do you think of gold, silver."

"Gold and silver are money, the foundation of a nation. If there is no money, how can the army be raised, and how can the victims of disasters be relieved. Who will send the money of these large and small officials? ”

"No, Your Majesty, you misunderstood what I meant. I want to ask what is the use of gold, silver. ”

"What does Aiqing mean?" Emperor Xia didn't understand what medicine was sold in Liu Meng's gourd for a while.

Liu Meng: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that gold and silver are just a pile of dung. ”

Emperor Xia smiled: "I didn't expect Liu Aiqing to be a scholar who treats money like dung." ”

"Your Majesty is wrong, I regard gold and silver as dung, not money."

"Aiqing, this confuses me, gold and silver are not money."

"Then I will say so, Your Majesty, I will have a silver ticket of one hundred thousand taels of silver. This silver ticket is a piece of paper, why can this paper be used for gambling, can be used to buy things. ”

"That's because that piece of paper is worth 100,000 taels of silver."

"But how did Your Majesty know that there were 100,000 taels of silver in the bank?"

"This, he didn't, isn't that cheating, this can be reported to the official and arrested."

"However, he didn't say, you don't take it, this is a transaction with these 100,000 taels of silver, how do you know that there is no such 100,000 taels."

"With such a big money bank, it can't run away."

"Your Majesty, be smart. Exactly. We send out money as long as we can buy something, whether it's silver or gold. As long as you can buy and sell things, it's money. Your Majesty may do this by replacing silver with paper money, which is printed and distributed in your hands. As much as you print, you don't have as much as you have. After all, such a big palace can't run here. ”

"Aiqing means that with my identity, I will stamp a seal and stamp it, and if I say it is money, I will let people work for nothing."

"Your Majesty misunderstood what I meant. I mean, money in this world is just a transit thing, and money itself can't fill the stomach. If you give them a heap of silver when there is a famine, will they be satisfied? Without food, what do they eat? Money is something that is used to measure the value of an item, it can be silver, it can also be paper, as long as it is a transaction, it is money. Nowadays, it is difficult to smelt silver, and the production of silver is limited. The state has no silver, and the common people have no silver in their hands. is alive and clear, and if money is not circulated, it is not money. ”

"I'll give you an example. Now I'm going to build a power station, and I need people to do the work to build a base station, and if people do the work, I have to pay the workers. I paid the wages, and those who didn't have money in the first place had money. With the money, these people may go buy something nice to eat and buy two new clothes. The money went to the merchant again, and the merchant made money, and the thing was almost sold out. Production will be expedited again, more things will be wanted, and the previous workers will not be able to meet the production, so more workers will be needed. These people will also buy some things when they have money, and the more they demand, the more people will produce things. There are more people who want to eat meat, and there are more people who raise pigs and chickens. If there is more, everyone will be rich. ”

"If, today you don't spend money, I don't spend money. All keep their money. If no one buys something in the market, then the merchant will cut the worker, and the worker will be unemployed and have no job. They are even more afraid to buy things, they don't dare to eat meat, and there are fewer people who make things in this way. ”

"Great Xia, the land is vast, there are many things, the key is whether there is someone to produce and build."

……

Liu Mengyi said that Emperor Xia was dizzy when he heard it.

After all, it is a forward-thinking idea, and the emperor himself is not a genius in this area, so it is normal that he did not understand it for a while. Emperor Xia was a studious person, Liu Meng took it to the palace for three days, and chatted with Emperor Xia in the palace for three days.

The next day, the new Tobe Shoshu came in.

After a long conversation all night, the state's policy of intervening in the market economy was finally decided.

Emperor Xia also wanted to develop and create a peaceful and prosperous era. Wang Yuan, the new household secretary, is also a person with brains. As soon as I heard it, I understood what Liu Meng meant, if it wasn't for the imperial study, it would be possible to worship Liu Meng as a teacher on the spot.

This idea is too advanced.

At the same time, how to ensure the effectiveness of the state's issuance of currency, and how to prevent theft.

Liu Meng is still very experienced in this area, and his experience comes from being deceived. When counterfeit money was fierce before, he received three counterfeit coins a month. For this reason, some means have been specifically checked above. The world he lives in is full of deceptive methods, and this world seems to him to be as pure as a blank sheet of paper. Those petty deceptions are not taken into account at all.

Of course, the main thing is that there are also some talents in the household department, after all, at the beginning the currency was not gold and silver, but later it became them. Some of the previous currencies and anti-piracy methods are recorded in ancient books. And there are quite a few such fake geniuses in the dungeon. Make a batch of banknotes that none of them can counterfeit, and that's it.

If we want to enter the 1G era, the market economy must recover.

Without purchasing power, the era of mobile Internet will not come.

After Liu Meng returned home, he fell asleep. At the same time, he began to recruit people, and the development of the economy should start from him.

Since the wages are not low, a large number of people will soon have to pour in. Liu Meng also made some selections, and those with craftsmanship are preferred. The power station is not something that can be built if you want to, the first thing is the quality, and if it collapses in less than two or three years, the loss will be great. Perhaps, his dream of mobile Internet will be shattered.

This is not to be careless.

He held the first grand interview in another world.
