"Lao Fang, I have some insights. I did use the strategy of finding rare items to live in. At the same time, I also took advantage of people's good taste in wine to arrange this method of selling wine." Li Feng said.

Fang Xuanling nodded and asked curiously: "Yes, but how did you come up with the idea of ​​making money from businessmen from other countries?"

Li Feng said: "Have you not seen that all those foreign merchants are very rich? Every time their caravans come to Datang with their special products, they can make a lot of money, and then they buy our Datang's."

Silk, porcelain and other items can make a lot of money back in their hometown.

Why can't they make money while we can't? Lao Fang, believe it or not, as long as I sell Baijiajiao to Wuguan Yitan, no matter how much wine I have, they will all sell it out."

Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said: "What you said makes sense. You did the right thing in this matter, but I still have a question, why did you invest all of the more than one million yuan in the cement workshop?

And the cement workshop has not made a penny yet? This seems very unreasonable?"

Li Feng rolled his eyes and said: "The cement road has not been paved yet. The cement currently produced is stored in the warehouse. When the court agrees to give me the right of road for at least twenty years, I will need this cement road within these twenty years."

Right of use of the road.

I will set up roadblocks. As long as you want to use this road, you have to pay me a user fee, which is a toll.

I have mentioned this matter, and you seem to have agreed, but the official document has never appeared, so I dare not build the road.

Because I am not building one road, but the entire Tang Dynasty. I can only build one or two cement roads by myself.

If businessmen all over the world see that building cement roads can make money, will they also want to build roads?"

Li Erdao: "Do you want everyone in the world to think about building cement roads?"

"Yes, I want people all over the world to start building roads, but they can't build roads casually. Every road needs to be investigated and studied. As long as the roads will pass through which villages and towns, will they be given to nearby villages?

, the town brings revenue.

Lao Li, Lao Fang, do you know why the imperial court can only receive three million yuan in tax revenue a year?"

"Why?" Fang Xuanling asked.

Although Li Er was curious, he didn't speak. He couldn't speak because of the issue of face. He was the emperor.

Li Feng didn't mind this, as long as someone asked questions. It was embarrassing when no one asked questions.

He explained: "Because rich people hide all their money. One penny can buy a bowl of noodles for a hundred years, and it can still buy a bowl of noodles a hundred years later. In this case, the money will almost always be valuable, so everyone

Just save all your money. As a result, there will be more and more money in the market.

And the aristocratic families gradually formed, and their money became more and more, and eventually it was more than the national treasury, so the court began to be afraid of the aristocratic families.

The purpose of building cement roads now is to allow wealthy families to spend money to build roads."

"Will they be willing?" Li Er asked uncertainly.

Li Feng smiled and said: "Yes, for two reasons. First, building roads can make money, and second, I built this road, so I have the final say on where it passes.

For example, there are a total of forty towns and fifty villages from Chang'an to Luoyang, five of which have my land in the villages, and eight of which have my shops.

So when I build this road, will it pass through these villages and towns first?"

Li Er and Fang Xuanling instantly understood what Li Feng meant, and even Empress Changsun also understood.

If those first-class aristocratic families do not want to build the road, then some people from the second-class or third-class aristocratic families will come to build the road, and the opportunity will be seized by others, and then the position of the first-class aristocratic families will have to be changed.

This is something that no first-class family would allow to happen.

Li Er said: "Fang Qing, what do you think?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Building roads is a matter of great benefit to the world. Besides, it can also allow aristocratic families to spend all their money and increase the tax revenue of the national treasury. We are happy not to do it."

Li Feng shook his head and said: "This is not enough. Asking the aristocratic families to come up with money is the first step. The second step is to spend money. The aristocratic families come up with money because they have to pay wages to the people who build the roads.

But I can’t guarantee that, some aristocratic families just take out the grain and use it for work. You also know that there are still many people in the Tang Dynasty who don’t have enough to eat. In order to eat more, there are many people who don’t need wages.”

Fang Xuanling said with a gloomy face: "Although I really don't want to admit it, this is a fact. Is there any way you can make those people from aristocratic families spend money?"

Li Feng said: "Make money."

"You want to mint money?" Li Er and Fang Xuanling looked at Li Feng in surprise at the same time.

"Yes, the reason why money is valuable in today's market is because there is too little money in the market, or is it because money is valuable? This seems to be a dead end, and it feels very unsolvable.

In fact, the easy solution is to let people know that money is becoming less and less valuable. Now one penny can eat a bowl of noodles, but tomorrow it may cost two or three penny to eat a bowl of noodles.

At that time, money was worthless, and no matter the aristocratic families or businessmen, they would all use their money to buy things."

Fang Xuanling frowned and said: "When money is not valuable, goods are very valuable, and then prices will skyrocket. When prices rise, people can't afford to buy things even if they have money."

The skyrocketing prices caused a hint of panic in the eyes of both Fang Xuanling and Li Er. When the price of food rises, it can plunge the whole city into panic, not to mention that all goods have risen.

Li Feng nodded and said: "This is a process. You must go through this process. The best solution is to find a way to use all the sudden extra money."

"It's easier said than done. This is not a small amount of money. It may be tens of millions or even more. Is there any way you can deal with this money?"

"Yes, I will build a trading center in Lantian County. I named it Lantian Trading Center. Anyone who wants to make money but has no money can go to my trading center.

After investigation by people at the trading center, they feel that this person's method of making money will make money, then this person can divide his industry into one thousand shares, own 500 shares, and then put 500 shares in the trading center.

These five hundred shares will be placed in the trading center according to their market value, such as one share, and anyone can buy them as much as they like.

After the five hundred shares are bought, the trading center will hand over the five hundred shares to the business person.

As long as this person's business expands, then these shares will be very valuable. I call these shares stocks, and the stocks have appreciated. Originally one share was worth one share, but now one share may become ten shares.

Those who own stocks have seen their shares increase tenfold, and they can sell them again, or they can wait for the stocks to appreciate again..."
