After a short while, Gülen returned to the seventh floor with a few glasses of juice.

He handed him his favorite juice, the Ping An Fruit flavor, and then gave Tom and Jerry a glass each, much to the embarrassment of the two brothers.

Flandi can enjoy Glenn's services with peace of mind, but the brothers can't......

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty......" The two thanked each other vigorously.

"Drink it, don't thank you. Glenn waved his hand indifferently, and then said to Flandy, "Why are gold coins wealth?

Flandi took a sip of Ping An juice and said slowly, "Gold coins can buy what you need, so it's called wealth." ”

Gülen had just taken a sip of juice and almost didn't squirt.

"Hey, gold coins can buy things, of course I know!"

"Hehe, what's the hurry, you listen to me slowly. Flandi wasn't in a hurry.

"Okay, I'll hear what you have to say!" Gülen sat down angrily.

"Let me ask you, if one day you are stranded on an island with nothing on the island, and you have two choices, will you choose 10,000 gold coins or some food?"

"Of course I want food, there's nothing on the island, what do I need gold for?" Gülen blurted out.

"Yes, it's the same gold coin, it's useless on a lonely island, it's better than a bowl of rice. So, is it still wealth?"

Glenn froze, not knowing what to say.

"So, in fact, gold coins only represent wealth when they can be used, right?"

Gülen thought about it for a moment and felt that this was indeed the case.

"Yes, only the money that can be spent is money, if it can't be spent, then whether it is gold, silver or copper, it is useless"

"Okay, now you have a certain understanding of what wealth is, and only money that can be used is called money.

For example, my grandfather Melward family had a lot of gold coins, and even I don't know how many they are, but these gold coins can only be stored in the vault and cannot be used, so are these gold coins considered wealth?"

"It should be counted, after all, this is the imperial capital, not an isolated island, and you can't use gold coins on an isolated island, but in the imperial capital, if you have gold coins, you can still use them!"

"Well, that's right, this is the imperial capital, and you can use it, but Gülen, think about it, even if you are the emperor, no matter how luxurious, how many gold coins can you use?"

Now Gülen was stuck again, he had never been troubled by money since he was a child, and he did not have a clear understanding of the purchasing power of gold coins.

"I want to ...... Can I use 100 gold coins a day?" Gülen said a little unsure.

"Hahaha, Gülen, do you know how much you can buy for 100 gold coins?" Flandy laughed when he heard Gülen say that he could use 100 gold coins a day.

"I knew I could buy a lot!"

"Now the average rice is 4 copper coins a catty, you can calculate how much rice you can buy for 100 gold coins. ”

"Ahh

To be honest, one gold coin is equivalent to 100 silver coins, and one silver coin is equivalent to 100 copper coins.

That is, 100 times 100 times 100 divided by 4, which is equal to 250,000 catties of rice.

The result of the calculation startled Gülen, 250,000 catties of rice, how much is that? enough for more than 100,000 people to eat for a day.

Gülen was a little unsure that he could spend so much in a day.

"Gülen, you are the emperor, what luxuries are not in the palace? So you don't need to buy them at all, except for the expenses of the palace, in fact, you can only use one gold coin a day at most. ”

"I'm an emperor, and I only have one gold coin a day?" Gülen was a little surprised.

"I mean, apart from the expenses of the palace, even if you are the emperor, what are your needs? ”

Eating is in the magic tower, living is living in the magic tower, Glenn never thought about the issue of gold coins, and after thinking about it, he realized that Flandi was right.

What do you really consume in a day? It's just some food, and every day the life of the magic tower and the palace is two points and one line, how can there be any opportunity to spend money?

"A thousand people in a good field can't eat three meals a day, and ten thousand rooms in a vast mansion only sleep on a couch for three feet" Frankie dragged an ancient sentence from his previous life and translated it to Gülen.

Gülen first felt that something was wrong, but when he thought about it, it was true.

He was a little confused by Frandy, so he said, "Flandy, what the hell are you trying to say?"

"I want you to understand what wealth is. Gold coins are wealth, and wealth is more than just gold coins. ”

"What is wealth not gold?"

"There are many types of wealth, but let's be realistic, if you have a shop in the city, is that part of your wealth?"

"Of course!"

"Yes, but why is it counted? It is because the shop can bring you benefits, but what about the house you live in?

"It should be counted, after all, the house can be bought and sold, and it can also be exchanged for gold coins, and the gold coins can be used to buy other things. ”

"Yes, so I'm saying that I hope the rich merchants don't have gold, not that they don't have wealth. ”

"It's not that there is no wealth, but that there are no gold coins?" Gülen seemed to understand.

"I just want them to spend their gold coins, and the more they spend, the better, and not always store them in the vault at home. ”

Gülen became more and more confused: "Let the rich businessmen spend money? Why? What good is it to let them spend money?"

"Because you want to make the gold coins! Didn't I just say that only the money spent is money, and what is the difference between gold coins stored in the vault and stones?"

"Let the gold flow?"

"Yes, even if they go to buy luxury goods, like my grandfather's Maria's Love luxury jewelry store, a piece of jewelry is at least a few tens of gold coins, right? ”

"But those rich merchants don't lack these things!"

"I'm just giving you an example, do you think there are still few new things that have appeared now? Magic cars, magic flying machines, they can all be sold. ”

"But the Ministry of Industry can only produce dozens of cars a month, and it can't be made at all, so how can it still be sold?"

"Magic car, magic truck, magic RV, magic flying machine, in the end, what is the core?"

"Magic engine!" this Gülen still knows.

"That's right, it's enough for the Ministry of Industry to only produce magic engines, so why do you want to make those things that don't have any technical content?"

"You're saying that only the Ministry of Industry will produce magic engines, and let others do magic cars and the like?"

"What's not to do?"

"Isn't the Ministry of Industry making a lot less gold coins? These coffers are national, not my own!"

Hearing Gülen say that he would let others build all kinds of magic vehicles, Gülen was in a hurry. You know, the price of a magic car is very, very expensive nowadays.

"Stupid! Why don't you get it yet!"

"Why don't I understand? Isn't that obvious?"

Gülen was a little unconvinced.

"Even if the Ministry of Industry produces 50 cars a month, and each one sells for 10,000 gold coins, isn't it only 500,000 gold coins?"

"Is 500,000 gold coins still less?"

"Of course it's less, if you ask someone else to produce cars, you can produce 500 cars a month based on ten, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Five hundred magic cars, all of them need magic engines, right? A magic engine needs at least three thousand gold coins, right?"

"Huh?"

"If you remove all kinds of parts and only produce magic engines, the Ministry of Industry will be able to produce more than 500 units a month, right?"

Although the engine of a magic car is not simple to build, the most complicated are the small parts that are messed up, such as door and window screws and gears.

These small parts are the most critical factor in limiting the production of magic vehicles, because they require a lot of manpower.

"Five hundred engines and three thousand gold coins, how much is that? That's one and a half million gold coins!"

Gülen was stupid, he really didn't count it that way.

"Magic vehicles can only be manufactured by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry and the Academy of Magic, and the Ministry of Industry will send someone to instruct the new manufacturing factory on how to make magic vehicles, and the cost of each magic vehicle will be 10%, isn't it too much?"
