"Don't change the subject for me, I'm asking you if the amount of money is reasonable? I'm asking where you got all that money! "Li Shimin is all stunned, thinking that he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and now he hasn't spent eight million yuan to build a Daming Palace, not even a third!

As a result, his son was good, and he easily took out eight million to renovate Chang'an City, the point is that you don't know where he got the money from!

You have to know what money Li Ke had a year ago? He has a fart of money, and he has a hundred thousand yuan in his hand at most.

It's been less than a year! How did Xizhou toss, Li Shimin didn't know, and there was definitely a lot of money invested in the early stage! Although it may have made some money selling salt in the later stage, Li Ke must have invested more money in the early stage, and it was bigger!

So the question is, where did he get so much money.

"Forehead......" Li Ke scratched his head a little, whether to say it or not, it seems that he can't hide it if he doesn't say it, it's impossible not to tell Li Shimin, don't make trouble, it's okay to make a small fuss at times, I really want to play the crime of bullying the king, of course, if Li Ke doesn't want to tell Li Shimin, he can hide it.

But Li Ke felt that it was unnecessary, didn't Lao Li believe him now because he had something to say?

So, say, what's this?

"Dad, how much money do you think I have?" Li Ke thought for a while and said, "I have a mall where the member's money doesn't count, I haven't touched the money." By the way, Changle's dowry is not counted. ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then he pondered, Li Ke spent more than eight million yuan on renovating Chang'an City, and Xizhou must have spent a lot of money, if it wasn't for those two kinds of money, how much could Li Ke have left in his hands?

"More than a million?" Li Shimin tentatively said a relatively high number.

Li Ke smiled proudly, and then said softly: "Dad, the money in my hand is now more than the Datang treasury." ”

"Poof...... Cough...... cough ......" Li Shimin was directly choked by his own saliva, and coughed violently, he knew that Li Ke's character could not lie, he said yes, then there is absolutely, the question is...... Where did he get so much money?!

Concubine Yang, who was sitting in the back row, hurriedly stretched out her hand to Li Shimin and patted her back while looking at Li Ke angrily: "You kid, can't you speak well?" ”

The eldest grandson queen next to her also looked at Li Ke with a smile on her face, but with a smile on her face, but there was a shock in her eyes, more money than the Tang Dynasty treasury! What is this concept?! Ke'er, how the hell did he get so much money!

On the contrary, Concubine Yang didn't take money to heart at all, in her opinion, what money is not has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't have to worry about this.

"I'm fine." Li Shimin calmed down for a moment, and then looked Li Ke up and down with a strange face, a prince, in a year, it took more than eight million yuan to renovate Chang'an City, Xizhou doesn't know how much it spent, two million yuan, right? In other words, Li Ke earned the money of the two treasury of Datang within a year?!

Can this money be conjured out of thin air?! If he were an emperor, wouldn't he be able to earn several treasury a year?

"How the hell did you do that?" Li Shimin was puzzled.

"Hehe, this son doesn't know what to tell you." Li Ke laughed twice.

"If you can't say it clearly today, you will go to the palace tomorrow to go for Li Tai." Li Shimin said in a calm tone.

"Well, try it there." Li Ke immediately confessed.

"Dad, I'll give you an example, you see if you can understand it." Li Ke thought for a while.

Li Shimin: "......"

Empress Eldest Sun: "......"

Concubine Yang: "......"

That is, Li Ke dared to talk to Li Shimin like this.

"Actually, I told you last time, and now I'll tell you again, you see, if I have 100 households, and I want to build a road in front of my door now, the cost of building this road is 100 yuan."

"And the cement and slate needed to build the road are mineralized by myself, and the main expenditure is labor and food, or to put it simply, I don't care about food, I send more money, and let these craftsmen buy food by themselves, so whether these costs are regarded as labor costs, because in the process of transportation, people are also needed to transport, in fact, it costs manpower." Li Ke asked.

"Well, yes, and then what?" Li Shimin thought about it, this is very simple, he can figure it out.

"Then, I hired 50 households to build roads, and 50 households to produce cement slabs, etc., which means that all the costs can be regarded as manpower?" Li Ke said.

"Yes." Li Shimin thought about it and nodded.

"Then when I built the road, I paid a total of 100 yuan, which was paid to the people, and then the people would use it to buy the supplies they urgently needed, such as grain, cloth, iron, and salt."

"At this time, if these four things are still supplied by my own trading house, that is to say, the 100 yuan that the people earned from me will finally flow back into my hands."

"The money has been circulating outside for a while, and it is still in my hands, but the road has been repaired, and the people have iron tools, cloth, food, and salt in their homes, and my Li Ke's money has not changed, and everyone has a bright future." Li Ke clenched his fists and said, in fact, Li Ke didn't finish his words, it is possible that more money will flow back, because the people who have made money from other gate valve families will also come to buy his things!

The real economic model cannot be as simple as Li Ke said, but the principle is correct.

Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, and Concubine Yang were all stupid.

"No, I understand what you say, and I understand it, but why, roads and so on have been built! The road is there, and the iron tools and food have reached the people's homes! What about the cost?! Where is the cost?! Li Shimin was a little confused, and his head couldn't turn.

"Manpower and time!" Li Ke said with a smile.

"Time aside, the concept of time is too broad, just talking about manpower, in fact, all this process is to turn manpower into the production process of materials, and then by the currency will be manpower to value, cost, so that manpower has value, and manpower has value, can be circulated in society, after all, its source, the original source of the value of all goods is manpower. This process and behavior, I coined a term and called it productivity. Li Ke said with a smile.

Manpower? Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then pondered, if it weren't for Li Ke to point it out to him, his head would still be spinning in a dead end, looking for the cost, because in Li Shimin's thoughts, the cost is either money or materials.

Li Ke didn't bother Li Shimin, but let Li Shimin think about it, this kind of thing ...... If you want Li Ke to explain in detail, how else can he explain? If you can't turn a corner, you really can't turn around.

The carriage had been walking on the newly built official road outside the city for a long time, and the contemplative Li Shimin suddenly asked: "According to what you say, is conscription harmful and unprofitable?" Because conscription cannot convert manpower into value, there is no way to circulate it? ”

Li Ke glanced at his father in some surprise, and almost blurted out the sentence "Dad, aren't you that stupid", although this conclusion is not entirely correct.
