Li Tai watched Wang Gui leave, but he was slightly relieved.
To be honest, Wang Gui has not caused any trouble to himself so far. Although he is nominally the governor of Yongzhou and the chief minister of the Wei Palace, he has not restricted his ideas at all. Instead, he allows himself to perform his ideas.
Be absolutely free with yourself.
That's why Li Tai couldn't understand why Wang Gui came here for.
This time the court asked him to trade with him, but he directly took out the bottom line of the court to show off with him. Whether he was on his side or not, it showed that he had sold his favor.
Instead of trading directly on the original price, I directly doubled it, and then revealed that I understood this favor.
Li Tai is not afraid of others talking to him about money, because he has gradually formed a perfect industrial system and is more prepared to transform into a financial system. Li Tai does not think that anyone in this world can give out more money than himself.
Because for many people, money is money, but for themselves, with the improvement of the layout in Luoyang, money is just a number under a certain scale. Compared with the entire system, it is even a fraction to be erased.
.
The foundation laid in Youzhou, derived from tea gardens in Jiangnan, cotton in Longyou, and even sheep in Qinghai, can be endorsed for their own financial system. As long as they do not leave this system, money is really not considered to be for Li Tai.
What.
Compared to this, I want to know Wang Gui's attitude even more.
At least an old man with spiritual talent did nothing and stared at him like this. It would be impossible to say that Li Tai did not feel guilty, but Li Tai didn't know what Wang Gui's purpose was.
So now that Wang Gui gives himself a chance to sell him favor, he naturally won't miss it.
"It seems that the cloth matter can no longer be delayed, and it will be fully launched when the peacock comes back."
Li Tai thought silently in his heart, to be honest, control over cloth has always been a very flawed link in Li Tai's system.
But there is no way. The original raw material of cloth in this era was mulberry and hemp. The land selected by Li Tai, whether in Youzhou, Zhengguo Canal reconstruction, or even the Hehuang Valley, has industries that are more suitable for these places, plant mulberry and hemp, regardless of the land selected by Li Tai, whether in Youzhou, or the reconstruction of Zhengguo Canal, or even the Hehuang Valley, have industries that are more suitable for these places, and plant mulberry and hemp.
Relatively not cost-effective.
This made Li Tai unable to make any effort to industrialize the cloth.
If you cannot master the raw materials of cloth, it is meaningless to Li Tai.
Because Li Tai needs a replicable industrial chain from beginning to end, not only an industrial upgrading of a certain link in the industrial chain.
Even if Li Tai invests a certain link in technology to upgrade the industry, he cannot get all the profits from beginning to end, it is not cost-effective for Li Tai, and may even be stucked by the aristocratic families who have mastered the raw materials.
This is why even though cotton cloth is quite immature in this era, whether it is cultivated from cotton or deseeding cotton, or even finding suitable places to cultivate cotton on a large scale, Li Tai is still willing to increase the investment in cotton and cotton cloth.
.
It has been many years since Li Tai is still willing to spend money on cotton and continue to increase the production capacity of cotton.
Because cotton is grown from the land to become cotton cloth, Li Tai can eat the entire assembly line from beginning to end.
Especially after large-scale cotton production, the role of cotton is not just a simple textile raw material.
Beekeeping nearby can make it a source of honey, and the picked plants can also find ways to use them as medicine. The seeds can be used as lubricating oil after being refined...
I even really think that after its value is squeezed out, its own plant fibers can also be used for papermaking.
This is the meaning of scale and industrial chain. With the help of a cotton plant, you can actually eat it from beginning to end and make a lot of profit.
Not only cotton becomes the profit of cotton cloth, but if you want to fully benefit, you must have the industrial chain and scale!
The most important thing is that your own productivity is not good, you cannot remove cotton, take gossy phenol, and other raw materials that require further productivity improvement.
This is the reason for cotton, and this is the reason for other raw materials.
I need not only become a link on the assembly line, but I hope to build a long enough production line through sufficient scale effect, and eat from beginning to end. Even if it is a piece of grass, I can eat 100,000 or even millions from it.
profits and the creation of thousands of jobs.
But if there is no large-scale quantity to provide the foundation, no industrial thinking to dispatch the industry, and even a replicable industrial chain, it would be meaningless to Li Tai. After all, making money is for time travelers.
, Who can't do it anymore?
"100,000 guan...100,000 guan!" Wang Gui couldn't help but sigh when he got the food coupons and cloth coupons equivalent to the 100,000 guan from the Wei Palace.
This bill can be exchanged in the distribution store and granary of the King of Wei’s Mansion. As long as time is given, it can be collected.
Generally, those with a value of more than 1,000 guan need to be scheduled three days in advance, those with a value of more than 10,000 guan need to be scheduled seven days, and those with a value of more than 100,000 guan need to be scheduled fifteen days.
In addition, if you want to dispatch materials for more than 100,000 yuan, there are only three places in Tianjin, Luoyang and Chang'an. There are no physical items in other places, but small amounts of food coupons can be found.
But even so, Wang Guizhen took away 100,000 yuan of wealth from the Wei Palace, but he couldn't help but feel sighing.
The King of Wei is so terrifying. If a person who is a little less determined, facing the 50,000 ounces that can be taken away at will, will anyone still not shake it?
When he came to Yongzhou himself and became the chief minister of the King of Wei, Li Shimin just asked himself to take care of Li Tai.
After all, Li Tai left and comforted Li Chengqian. Although Empress Changsun forced to maintain the orderly inheritance of Li Tang, for Li Shimin, Li Tai was the wronged party in the process, so he let Wang Gui
Come and take care of it.
If Li Tai goes off the right track, he will ask himself to help him to help him. If Li Tai is angry, he will help to comfort him.
Then after he came over, the King of Wei was not a little hit. He was so angry that he was wandering around Luoyang City and then began to plan to develop Luoyang.
The plan of King Wei was based on the Tang Dynasty, with canals as the veins, coal, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and each line was prepared.
The funds needed are also prepared, and all of this is just the basis for Luoyang's takeoff.
Then the students trained by the Agricultural College were arranged to be arranged in food processing factories and various types of factories.
There are obviously so many talents who can become ninth-rank officials as minor officials, but in Luoyang it seems like a handful of salt sprinkled in the soup and disappeared completely.
So Wang Gui did not interfere in Li Tai's actions randomly, but silently observed Li Tai's measures.
Then I saw that various recruitment factories began to appear in Luoyang City. Even Wang Zhenru's Gaoling corvee began to recruit almost unlimitedly. The road to Luoyang was built without any stop.
There are really proletarian and unemployed hooligans. It would be fine if they didn't cause trouble, but as long as they cause trouble, they would be targeted by Wei Xu immediately. They were packed and sent to mining that day. Of course, to the people of Luoyang, it was just labor reform.
At least the security has improved a lot.
In short, with the arrival of the King of Wei, the entire Luoyang began to inspire various vitality. Especially after the chess game of Luoshui chess was announced in Luoyang, Luoyang's positive enthusiasm for labor was almost completely stimulated.
come out.
The enthusiasm of the people in Luoyang has become extremely hot, as if they want to increase their face in front of the world.
To be honest, Wang Gui has really seen too much about the fact that King Wei can inspire the enthusiasm of the people to work, and there is nothing strange about it.
But Wang Gui still didn't understand where the money from King Wei came from from beginning to end.
Yes, Wang Gui really doesn't understand this matter.
Wang Gui is not an ordinary citizen. He has truly stood at the peak of the Tang Dynasty. After the Li Shimin Xuanwu Gate Incident, he has truly ruled the Tang Dynasty.
So he knew clearly that what the world does will eventually be attributed to the word "money and food".
But the King of Wei understood part of the operation, that is, the King of Wei seemed to have spent a lot of money, but a lot of money was taken back by the King of Wei in various situations, which made the King of Wei not spend much money.
money.
Wang Gui used the food coupons in his hand as a medium, and his eyes were slight shining, as if he wanted to see Li Tai's entire plan.
The seven items proposed by King Wei, including charcoal, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, do not look very eye-catching, but are necessities for the people. Not to mention that the people need to buy them every day, but as long as they want to survive, they must have some reserves.
The King of Wei seemed to have obtained money from the people through these seemingly tiny things, even not only these, but also rice, flour and clothes to wear. These seemed to have returned the money that the King of Wei put in the hands of the people.
In the hands of the King of Wei.
But I didn't understand. The money was circulated in the hands of the people, and the King of Wei finally got the money back. However, during this process, it seemed that the King of Wei finally got the profit. He was not even sure that King of Wei was
I really make money, but I'm still playing games.
At least the people seemed to have gained some extra benefits in the circulation of this currency, making them more energetic, making them no longer dead, but as if they had found hope.
Wang Gui looked at the money and food stamps in his hand, but wanted to sort out the cause and effect of the food stamps and food through his spiritual talent.
But the more I see, the more I feel, I feel a little more confused.
At first, Wang Gui thought that his spiritual talent was the heavenly eye that could distinguish loyalty and treason and know good and evil.
But in fact, as he grew older, he became richer and until he became the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Gui was truly sure that his spiritual talent could see some residual images and cause and effect in a person or thing.
But if you want to conduct further analysis, you need your own knowledge.
Now Wang Gui understood that although he saw the circulation method of the food coupons and cloth coupons, he did not understand this thing. In the final analysis, his knowledge was insufficient and he could not analyze it!
"You have to see more and think more!" Wang Gui took a deep breath and gave him some encouragement.
For Wang Gui, compared with these 100,000 chunks, it is more important to obtain the knowledge here.
I don’t want to be able to use it myself, but at least I have to understand what King Wei has done here!
However, in Wang Gui's opinion, when Li Tai took out the 50,000 yuan to make favors for him, the position of crown prince of the Tang Dynasty had actually been decided because he could not see any possibility of Li Chengqian winning.
After all, 50,000 jin is naturally nothing to the entire Tang Dynasty, but for any individual, it is a price tag that is enough to buy his conscience.
Even if you are not the one who is about to be in his seventies and has been the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, if someone else comes, as long as you need these 50,000 ounces, it will be yours. This tests the officials, and how many officials can bear it.
.
Wang Gui couldn't help but sigh, "Maybe the King of Wei left Chang'an, it was not the dragon swimming in shallow water forced by Empress Changsun, but the dragon planning a thousand miles into the sea.
In Chang'an City, there are saints and queens who can check and balance the King of Wei, but now in Luoyang, who can really compete with such a King of Wei who can spend 50,000 coins at any time?"
Wang Gui understood that unless he sacrificed his life to fight against King Wei, he might be able to compete with King Wei and play a check and balance role.
But the question is that it is necessary? Is it not good to lie down with the King of Wei to develop Luoyang?!
Isn’t this just getting a merit for nothing? Who would think it would be too much?
In comparison, if you fight for the sake of political struggles purely, that's not a brainless person!
Wang Gui was the prime minister and the Minister of Rites, but now he just simply doesn't want to continue working.
The one who originally wanted to go home was arranged by Li Shimin to be with the King of Wei. Now he is living a comfortable life by the King of Wei.
So why do you have to restrict the King of Wei? Why don’t you see where the King of Wei can take?
After all, I am just an old salted fish that is about to retire. I will not enjoy my second half of my life safely!
"Forget it, let's hand over all the 100,000 yuan to the court. How they will arrange for the King of Wei is their business!"
Wang Gui didn't want to intervene either. He passed by 100,000 guan of money. Although he was trembling with it, he was also free and easy to give it.
The most important thing is that he expressed kindness to Li Tai, and Li Tai also accepted his kindness. I think he would be more free in Luoyang in the future.
However, when Wang Gui handed the food coupons and cloth coupons worth a total of 100,000 yuan to the court, Fang Xuanling was still dizzy when he saw the money.
Fang Xuanling held the food coupon and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "For a moment, I don't know if I should praise Shu Jie for being too capable, or if the King of Wei values this iron smelting plant too much. One hundred thousand is probably more than enough to rebuild an iron smelting plant.
.”
"What? Are you planning to regret it?" Du Ruhui smiled when he heard Fang Xuanling's words.
"I just feel that I can't understand money and food when communicating with King Wei!" Fang Xuanling shook his head when he heard Du Ruhui's words.
"How are you going to spend that 100,000 guan of money and grain?" Du Ruhui asked Fang Xuanling.
"Where can you talk about it urgently?" Fang Xuanling said,
"As the use of these food coupons gradually increased, most of the aristocratic families also accepted the transaction of food coupons.
At least it is much easier to trade grains when you really pick up grain to trade!
And our court costs, it is more convenient to deal with families directly using these food coupons than using cloth or gold cakes."
When Du Ruhui heard Fang Xuanling's words, he looked at the food coupons in Fang Xuanling's hand, narrowed his eyes and said, "Maybe this is the purpose of the King of Wei."
"Even so, don't you need these food coupons!" Fang Xuanling asked back as he looked at the stack of food coupons in his hand.
"Use it! It must be used!" Du Ruhui answered decisively to Fang Xuanling.
