Chapter 149 Where does the money come from, the stubborn little king
Li Shimin didn't let Li Mu write a statement admitting his mistake, which was actually a helpless move. After all, Dali Temple is a place with strict laws. If Li Mu continues to act like this, how will Dali Temple handle cases in the future? Of course, the main reason is money.
But there are literally millions of dollars. How many days have it been? If this had not happened, Li Shimin would have been willing to let Li Mu squat in Dali Temple for half a month, but now, in order to make better money, he naturally has to let him
Li Mu goes out.
Profit is the ultimate indicator that determines the direction of things. Li Shimin is short of money. He is so short of money that his eyes turn green. He fought a big battle this year, and although he won, the expenses that came with it were really huge.
The land has increased. Not to mention the more than 200,000 yuan robbed from Jie Li, this little money is not enough to reward the soldiers. And don't forget, besides robbing money, who else is there?
The captured slaves need to be fed, right? The refugees on the border need to be cared for and resettled, right? You know, a hungry and anxious person can do anything. When forced to do so, several Turkic tribes unite to form a cavalry force.
, can't do big things, harass small border towns, but can still do it, isn't it all trouble?
At this time, money and food are the lifeblood. If there is food, in the hands of a powerful family, if you want food, you have to give money. Li Shimin has no money, so he can only stare. Therefore, as long as he can get money for him, he is a good person.
All the problems will become pleasing to the eye.
Isn’t that true, your beloved has been summoned?
Li Mu had long understood Li Shimin's temper, so he decided to persevere and make further excuses. Sure enough, things went as he expected, and his face was finally saved.
Li Mu knew that Li Shimin would not let him go unless he explained it clearly. He sorted out his thoughts and started from the beginning.
"Your Majesty, let me tell you how this matter got here step by step." Li Mu cleared his throat and said: "Of the three companies, I only had one in mind at the beginning. It was Datang Jianye, the so-called 'Jianye'
, the construction of buildings. Because recently many nobles from Chang'an are looking for craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to build Kangs and fire walls. I thought that my work could not be in vain, so I thought about setting up the Datang Construction Company. The so-called "company"
, Division, management also, the meaning of a company is to gather the power of the public to operate together. This cannot be regarded as Chen's invention. The Ministry of Industry has the Ministry of Industry and the Department of Yu, and I was inspired by this."
Li Mu continued: "As for the 'Salt and Mine', I had no intention of setting up a company. But after meeting Sun Chong, the eldest son of Zhao Guogong, and Wang Pu, the younger brother of Wang Shizhong, the day before yesterday, I found that this matter was not that easy to solve. Because according to Zhao Guogong and
Wang Shizhong means that these two families want to take most of this benefit. But Your Majesty, do you think, which family is easy to mess with, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Li family of Zhaojun, Shen Guogong, the Dugu family, etc.? Which family is not well informed?
?The day after I met them, many people came to find me and firmly opposed the division of the two families into the majority. They felt it was very unfair!"
Li Shimin was not surprised at all that Changsun Wuji and Wang made such a request. It is human nature and understandable. They are the leaders of their respective forces, have the highest official positions and the greatest influence, so they naturally feel that they should take the lion's share. Others objected, but Li Shimin
It’s not surprising. The losses and benefits caused by the incident are all shared by everyone. Why do you not bear more losses than others, but you have to take a big share when there are benefits? It is obviously unfair.
Li Shimin imagined what he would do if this happened to him. Thinking about it was a headache, because no one was easy to mess with. In his position, it seemed inappropriate to offend anyone. But in the end, if
Forced to make a choice, he would still be inclined to side with Changsun Wuji and Wang. After all, these two people play a much greater role than others.
But the current results show that Li Mu obviously did not do this. Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and asked: "Go on, how did you do it?"
Li Mu patted his chest and said: "Your Majesty, you know me well. I am a person with a sense of justice. The first thing I care about when doing things is fairness. Since everyone has their own reasons, I have to deal with it impartially.
Money! You can’t lie! So Chen came up with a very fair distribution method based on his experience in doing business in the past, how much money he paid, and how many shares he took. Combined with Datang Jianye’s company model, he launched this
A set of best solutions. I named it a joint-stock company."
"The meaning of this stock comes from twisting hemp rope." Li Mu had already thought of this rhetoric and explained to Li Shimin: "Has your majesty ever seen braided hemp rope? A hemp rope is made of the finest hemp.
Twist it into a thin rope, and then twist it into a thick rope. The thin rope can bear a small weight, but when twisted into a thick rope, it can bear a larger weight. Each thin rope is called a strand.
'Shares' are shares. Shares are the shares held by each investor. Each investor is the owner of this share and is called a shareholder. I divided the company into one hundred shares, each share costing NT$10,000.
The amount of money you contribute determines how much say you have. To put it simply, whoever has more money will get more dividends, and that’s what they say!”
Li Mu actually didn't know if this was the definition of shares in later generations, but in the Tang Dynasty, what he said was the definition, and as long as it made sense, there would be no problem. And his explanation made it easier to understand. At least hemp rope
Li Shimin still knew that it was divided into shares.
Li Shimin nodded and said: "It's really clever, but I have a question. If you ask them to pay, they are willing to pay? You are not a liar, right?"
"Your Majesty, I am an upright person!" Li Mu said seriously: "How could I deceive you? I just settled a score for them."
"What's the settlement?"
"I told them through calculation that the annual profit from mines and salts is at least two million guan. They spend one million guan in capital and can get 2 million guan in profit. If one becomes two, it will double.
Earn! Moreover, most of the capital of one million yuan still has to be spent on them. Moreover, the investment is a one-time investment, but the profits will be made every year. If you don't invest in it, wouldn't you be a fool? "
Li Shimin was still a little confused and said: "I still don't understand. What do you mean, this money is not considered earned?"
"Hmm..." Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "It's not entirely clear now, but we won't need so much for the time being. Your Majesty can use it, as long as it is returned in time."
Li Shimin rolled his eyes. Although it is disappointing that the money is not pure profit, it can be used and it solves an urgent need. It is not unacceptable. Suddenly Li Shimin thought of a problem. This investment can be doubled, and the amount of money invested can be doubled.
You can still transfer it back. How can such a good thing come at an advantage to others?
Li Shimin raised this question, and Li Mu sighed and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you understand what I mean? I told a big lie for your Majesty's sake!"
Li Shimin frowned and said, "What do you mean? Please explain it clearly!"
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you, do you have the money to invest in the shares like you are doing now?"
Li Shimin shook his head. If he had money, would he still need Li Mu?
"That's right, your Majesty has no money to buy shares. Neither do I, so what should I do? I can only find rich people to buy shares. No one's money is picked up. If there is not enough return, who will invest money?
?So double returns are a must.”
"But all the money has been earned by them, where is my profit?"
"Your Majesty, you don't have anything to offer!" Li Mu explained to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the salt company is mining rock salt that is originally toxic. When the company is up and running, they have to pay for the salt mining. They have to contract the rock salt.
Mine, this money is your majesty’s net profit. This is something you didn’t have originally. Without the salt company, you wouldn’t be able to earn this money. The same goes for the mining industry. They also have to give you money when they contract the mine. These two amounts of money were originally
None of them exist. Only with these two companies can we have these two pieces of money. If I operate this way, you don’t have to invest a penny, you can just sit back and enjoy the gains, and you will be left with nothing. Aren’t you satisfied?”
Li Mu spread his hands and said: "Then I have no choice! Your Majesty, please ask someone else to do it!"
Li Shimin frowned and thought about Li Mu's words, but still didn't understand, and asked: "If according to your statement, I will enjoy the profits, the auxiliary machine and uncle will also benefit, but where does this money come from? Who earned it?
Where’s the money?”
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I will give you another example, and you should be able to understand."
"Suppose I have a coal mine. The coal is valuable. But if the coal is not dug out, it has no value. There is a group of refugees next to the coal mine. These refugees have no property, but they have strength. They can help me dig out the coal. They do
I gave them money to work, and they used the money to buy food. The farmers who farmed the land sold the grain and bought the coal for heating. I sold the coal and made a profit. In this way, the coal from the minister, the strength of the refugees, and the farmers
All the food has value. Your Majesty, if you ask who has made whose money, who has made whose money, because the coal and the strength of the refugees have produced value, and this value is money. When the total amount of value gradually increases
When the time comes, the money needed in the market will also increase. Or if the quantity of money does not increase, the value of the money will increase. The opposite is also true. What I said, do you understand, Your Majesty?"
Li Shimin shook his head. He really didn't understand and was even more confused.
Li Mu didn't know how to explain it. He didn't understand the concept of monetary inflation very well when he was studying in later generations. It was only through practice that he came up with it later when doing game data balancing. A gold ingot in a server
The relationship between the total amount and the gold coin output in the game is a small inflation law. This is why some players can become a merchant in the game and exchange gold coins or even money by reselling them in the auction house in ten minutes, while most players can
People who spend all day and night fighting monsters and earning gold coins may not be enough to learn skills.
This is a matter of skill! It cannot be solved by hard work alone.
