Bringing System to Great Tang

Chapter 600: Guan Zhongmou is not serious about the country

"No, no, brother Yi, it's too dangerous over there, let alone you can't leave Chang'an." Li Chengqi's hairs stood up.

He didn't expect Li Yi to go out in person, so what's the joke?

Sending Yi brother out is purely overkill, and Yi brother should stay in Zhuangzi.

Then, if you have any questions related to national policy, ask Yidi.

Have you ever seen the prime minister running outside without the court?

"I won't go, others can't. Economic wars are not easy to fight." Li Yi insisted.

"I know, it is written in Guan Zi that Guan Zhong used economic warfare to defeat other countries time and time again. Find someone to learn it and he will do it."

Li Chengqi took out the book "Guan Zi", which wrote about Guan Zhong's economic warfare against Lu, Hengshan, and Chu.

When we went to Chu country, they said they used money to buy Lu Jin, but the people of Lu stopped farming, and they all planted mulberry trees, sericulture and weaving.

Then Qi Guo, continue to buy.

In the end Lu State ran out of food, and Qi State pitted Lu State.

When fighting against Hengshan Kingdom, which did not exist in the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong knew that Hengshan Kingdom had good weapons and bought them at a high price.

The Hengshan country builds weapons, no one farms and can't eat food, and the Qi country pits Hengshan country again.

When it comes to fighting Chu, you buy Chu’s deer at a high price and sell a large amount of food to Chu at a low price. Chu raises deer instead of growing food. If there is no food, Qi has pitted Chu.

Li Yi knew these stories, and he looked dumbfounded.

"Big brother, that's a story, fake, where did Qi State get so much money to support a country's main industry?

When that country has made money, it keeps it and does not spend it, raising deer, building weapons, and weaving every day?

I said that the wormwood was purchased at a high price, but the people of Jingzhao Mansion didn’t plant the fields, and they planted wormwood specifically?

Currency in the Spring and Autumn Period was messy and made of bronze. Where did Qi get the money? "

Li Yi told Li Chengqi, don't listen to the story, the story is just a kind of thinking.

The real situation does not exist. Now people still exchange eggs for things and bamboo baskets for things.

Silk and silk are also used as money, and copper coins are not enough.

The people have made money, of course they have to consume it, can they keep it forever?

How long does it take to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms? How many silkworms are produced in a year?

During this process, Qi State was providing food, and then suddenly ran out of food.

In other words, Qi State had a lot of money at that time, which allowed Lu State to destroy fields and grow mulberries on a large scale, and to the extent that silkworms were sampled.

At the same time, Qi can sell grain to Lu at low prices to support the daily meals of the people of Lu.

Since your Qi country is so awesome, why don't you just go for it?

Think about it, if Qi is going to do that, how many times is the productivity of other countries?

Behind the productivity lies production technology, and when it is used, it drives military technology.

"Huh? No?" Li Chengqi still felt that he could understand economic warfare by watching "Guanzi".

"Economic wars are driven by simple buying and selling, but not simple buying and selling. There must be a process in which both parties gain and lose each other in trade.

Comprehensive gains are called trade surplus, which means taking advantage of others.

Less comprehensive gains are called trade deficits, which are taken advantage of by others.

In the deficit, a large amount of resources are lost and national power is attenuated, which is usually accompanied by a depreciation of foreign currencies but inflation at home..."

Li Yi also talked to his eldest brother about the country-to-country trade relationship.

"The loss of resources is the trade deficit?" Li Chengqi concluded.

"No, if it is only for exporting materials and not enough to buy other people's materials, the trade surplus will be reflected in the book.

If I tell them that there are no good iron ore and coal mines in that place, they mine a lot.

When they are sold to our Datang, they will have a trade surplus of resource exports.

Buying food from Datang is enough to eat, and the people's life can still go well. "

When Li Yi talked about it, he thought of a small island country, and the seller of bird droppings is actually phosphate rock.

There was a time when the people were rich.

Before, the people on the island were skinny, and since they had money, they all became fat.

Later, they were almost sold out, and they ran out of money, and they suddenly didn't get used to it when they were used to living a good life.

"You can't say, Brother Yi, don't say, you still know where there are mines, it's better to be in a place where Datang is more dependent on Chang'an, you tell me."

Li Chengqi knew that coal was good, not to mention iron ore, how could he tell the enemy.

"So I have to go to Khitan to solve the problems in Bohai Country." Li Yi turned the topic back.

"No." Li Chengqi continued to shake his head.

Leaving aside the safety issues, how long does it take to go there?

Last time I went to Luoyang, Henan Province, Chang'an City felt that the backbone was lost.

Fortunately, last year was in response to the locust plague, and this year the situation is more severe.

Regarding tax collection, Bi Gou was thinking about money, but he couldn't come up with a perfect method of operation.

In case there is a loophole in any place, the Ministry of Household will find a way to make it up, but the method that it has thought of is wrong again, and changing it back and forth is too delay.

Brother Yi stayed at Zhuangzi, so you can ask him if you have anything to do.

"That can only be for their people to follow, send some things to the border first, smuggle a few, in exchange for money."

Li Yi temporarily dismissed the idea of ​​going out and prepared to implement another set of plans.

Anyway, it's ok, the effect is different, you can change it as you like.

"Brother, tell the Khitan envoys that the members of the economic and cultural exchange team of my Lijiazhuangzi, 390 people and their relatives who followed to play with them, are from the Tang people who were captured by them.

Now I ask the team members to come back and improve the follow-up operation plan. "

Li Yi talked about another thing to Li Chengqi.

At the beginning, the family said that they must ensure the personal and property safety of the respective team members of both parties, and at the same time be able to withdraw at any time.

It's here now. Datang's team members are the Datang people who were arrested over there, three hundred and ninety people.

Their relatives went to play together and must also be brought back.

Don't there be 390 prisoners here. On the other hand, the prisoners can also be transferred to the members of the Khitan team, and relatives can bring them back together.

"Huh?" Li Chengqi felt confused, can team members be like this? It is impossible for the other party to agree.

The people caught are the private property of people everywhere.

"Brother Yi, are you afraid that the exchange of captives is wrong?" Li Chengqi shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Li Yi was puzzled.

"The number of people is different, with family members, more." Li Chengqi said as if you didn't even know this.

"I have taught three hundred and ninety people what they can do~www.wuxiahere.com~ What did they teach us from the Khitan people?

Three hundred and ninety people can grow bean sprouts. The people of Datang over there, is it because the Khitan people teach that they can grow bean sprouts? "

Li Yi's words are irrational, and others still feel that they are right.

"They won't agree." Li Chengqi will save others by himself, and he will not do it if he replaces him.

"I didn't expect them to agree. I contacted them first, discussed the number of people, and followed up operations, so I could move forward a little bit."

Li Yi understands better that others are idiots when they feel uncomfortable. If you say that 390 people change 390 households, then they will change with you?

He followed up and said: "Once I go there, it's April and May. I will arrange everything that should be arranged. If I go there, it will be easier."

"No, follow the difficult idea." Li Chengqi once again firmly stopped.
