Chapter 515 Simple and straightforward Taoism
"Quickly, make more plates of fine grinding. Be quick, I want to sell noodles."
Chang Sun Xin found an opportunity again, and his staff gave him an idea.
The four staff members were very competent. When they were selling noodles in the household department, they discovered the situation. Where did they get so much flour?
It’s okay to grind some yourself, but taking it out requires a lot of flour.
Waiting for Li Jia Zhuangzi to take action, they will understand that from now on, it will be a world of wheat grinding.
Before other big businessmen react, make a little money first.
You don’t expect to learn how to make instant noodles, but you can make hand-rolled noodles or sell the flour to others.
Just pay someone to grind it, buy wheat, and then hire someone to grind it.
Even if the profit is only half percent, this half percent is still a profit.
The staff don't know, but they are now gradually understanding the power of capital.
Most people can't afford that many mills, let alone hire many people.
Without enough capital, even if the opportunity to make money is in front of you, you can only watch it disappear.
If you borrow money to develop, you will be in trouble if you lose money.
On the evening of the next day, Li Longji, Queen Wang and Li Chengqi went to Zhuangzi.
Queen Wang wants to check the child's body every once in a while, mainly to see if there is any poisoning.
The little guy is asleep, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat anything.
Li Longji and the three of them insisted on eating instant noodles. Li Yi fried instant noodles for everyone for the sake of balanced nutrition for his sister-in-law.
There are meat, vegetables, carrots and fried goose eggs inside.
"Brother Yi, I didn't expect that there is such a way to eat instant noodles." Li Chengqi found it novel.
"Isn't it the same as eating fried noodles in the past?" Li Yi worried, why should he eat instant noodles when he can fry noodles?
It only takes a few minutes to cook noodles under boiling water. Can instant noodles be put into boiling water to save three minutes?
"Instant noodles are chewier and stronger than rolled noodles." Li Chengqi disagreed.
"That's because the noodles used for instant noodles have a high gluten content, and two layers are ground off the outside. In fact, selling this noodles is almost a waste."
Li Yi told the truth, his appearance was different, and he even took advantage of the banker's labor.
In addition to technical personnel, bankers are also trained towards management personnel.
Including one hundred farmers who had just returned from Henan Prefecture, they received training.
In Luoyang, farmers always direct others to work.
I was responsible for guiding and supervising myself, and gradually got used to how to organize people and cooperate with others at the same time.
When I came back, I sold all the chickens, ducks and pigs.
In the city of Luoyang, he added half a percent of the money to the big businessmen traveling to and from Chang'an, and exchanged copper coins and silk for Zhuangzi's exchange coupons.
They came back with the exchange coupons and lost 5%, saving time and transportation money.
Their labor cannot be calculated according to the labor of ordinary people. It is converted into the production of instant noodles, and there is no profit.
Li Longji did not care about profits. He thought of the same calculation of Chang Sun Xin's staff.
"Brother Yi, it is easier for a wealthy businessman to do other things than for a person without money."
"Yes, the power of capital is reflected in scale."
Li Yi put down his chopsticks and finished his pile of fried noodles, leaving a plate for himself.
He picked up the rice wine next to him and took a sip: "Capital lies in guidance. Nowadays, the big families use their capital on the land."
"There is also a lot of land in the homes of big merchants. As long as someone sells it, they will buy it." Queen Wang swallowed a piece of meat.
“Agriculture is the foundation and involves the lowest level of human needs, survival and food.
Agriculture is also the basis of war. How can we fight a war without food?
Industry is also the basis of war. At the same time, industry can in turn assist agriculture and research better chemical fertilizers.
What is needed now is to change some people’s minds and change their focus from the amount of land to the amount of land output.”
Li Yi explained to three people the relationship between the primary industry and the secondary industry.
He spoke slowly, telling the three of them something.
The development of the secondary industry should be based on the needs of foreign wars and the primary industry.
The increase in the production of breeding and cotton, hemp, and silkworms in the primary industry has also promoted the expansion of the secondary industry.
Entertainment in the tertiary industry of the service industry is an additional demand when a certain group of people meet the needs of the primary industry.
The financial industry in the service industry is a supplement and advancement to the primary and secondary industries, and war.
Capital itself has no likes and dislikes, but in the pursuit of more capital, its evil side will inevitably show more.
That’s why there is taxation. Taxation is to use part of the capital to feed back the primary and secondary industries and assist in the war effort.
As for the employees in the three industries, their income status determines the social work distribution model.
Everything is moving and not fixed.
What the court needs to solve is to balance the interests of employees in various industries, otherwise it will worry not about scarcity but inequality, not about poverty but worry about insecurity.
Li Yi took a sip of wine from time to time and said wow, wow, wow.
None of the three of them had eaten. The Queen Wang wanted to drink several times, but the maid next to her handed her some juice.
Li Longji discovered that after knowing Brother Yi for so long, he finally saw his powerful skills today.
Yi Di puts the affairs of a country in plain terms and understands them as soon as he hears them. It turns out to be so simple.
What will Brother Yi do in the future? I don’t feel at ease if I marry someone else as my wife.
As for Princess Yuzhen and Princess Jinxian, not to mention that the two younger sisters are older than Brother Yi, but the people they come in contact with are not enough.
His own daughter... if he gives his daughter to Brother Yi, then he is no longer Brother Yi.
It feels weird, what should I call it? Can Brother Yi solve this emotional problem?
At this moment, Li Longji was thinking about finding a wife for Li Yi. He couldn't become someone else's son-in-law. How dangerous it would be.
"These are just some superficial expressions, and there are deeper issues entangled with them.
The financial industry has been around since the beginning of barter, but no one thought much about it.
Paper money will promote the development of the financial industry, making it more convenient, more beneficial, and more difficult to control than current copper coins and silk."
Li Yi was indoctrinating little by little, saying that it was too deep, and he was afraid that the elder brother would not be able to understand the three of them.
"Brother Yi, do you know anything about the financial industry?" Li Chengqi took a sip of liquor and clapped his mouth.
"As you know, finance is a double-edged sword. You can't control people's desires. This is where the prosperity of gambling lies. I will tell you more when the day comes."
Li Yi didn't want to say more about financial matters. Anyway, he now controls the issuance of exchange certificates, which is very stable.
According to historical records, if there were no exchange coupons issued by him, after two years, the court would force the ratio of silk to copper coins.
This shows that as the quantity of silk becomes large, its value begins to depreciate.
If the depreciation of silk is left unchecked, the monetary system will be in chaos.
No one wanted silk, so they all exchanged it for copper coins. The more silk was exchanged, the more it depreciated.
The mandatory exchange ratio is an additional currency issuance of silk.
Silk cannot be used for a long time. If it gets wet or catches fire, the loss will be great.
The prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty was based on the stability of agricultural products under the control of currency ratios, and was not stable.
