Linglong believes that even if you go outside to make money, the place where you make money will have more money, but the place where you make money will have less money by the amount that is earned.
How could Liu Feng allow his village chief's people, or the people of Zhengde County, to become richer and richer?
You can't just mint counterfeit coins secretly, right?
After listening to this, Liu Ye laughed.
After all, they were ancient people, and their cognition was really very limited.
This question can be perfectly answered by anyone in the new era.
"It's actually very simple. If we want to understand this problem, we should look at the most basic issues."
"Take the present moment for example. These people are building a bridge for me, and I need to pay them for their work."
"Why are they paid?"
Linglong frowned and thought, isn't this question very simple?
Why would Liu Feng ask?
After thinking for a moment, he began to answer hesitantly.
"The time? The effort?"
"It's actually very simple. No matter what form of labor it is, it can be called production, and people are the most basic productive force."
"They produce something, and that thing can be turned into money."
"For example, I have a piece of wood now, which has no other use except burning fire, but when I turn this wood into a handicraft."
"If you sell this craft, you'll get silver."
"So what is this silver? Is it the value of the craft or the value of the person who made it?"
"It's not the value of the wood, right? It's the value of the time and effort I put into making it."
Linglong nodded in agreement.
"Finally, I got the silver I exchanged for the wood. I put the silver away, and then the silver will increase."
"I can use the silver I get from these woods to buy a shop or a yard."
"So where did the money go?"
“What has become of the money?”
"It's simple. The money has gone into someone else's hands."
“And the money I paid for with the wood has now become something new.”
“Essentially, your productivity over time is transformed.”
Linglong answered slowly.
"That's right. The essence of money is just a measure of your productivity."
"If productivity is high, you will get more silver; if productivity is low, you will get less silver."
"But people who make money have to spend it after they earn it back."
"What does the amount of money matter, then?"
"Your victory village is ultimately measured by money, and ultimately it becomes something else in your hands, while the money ends up in someone else's hands."
“Other people will spend money, so the money will circulate.”
"Even if you don't have money, if your things are of equal value to his, you can still exchange them."
"For example, those who don't want to take the money can still go to the warehouse to collect a certain amount of rice."
"In the long run, will everyone become rich?"
Linglong was stunned again.
I didn't expect that her understanding of money had always been so superficial.
"I understand now."
"As long as a person has something to do, he has transformed himself into a productive force."
“With productivity, you will become rich, but the degree of wealth will vary.”
"Now when you build bridges and roads, you are simply giving ordinary people the opportunity to transform themselves into productive forces."
Linglong finally understood the reason and immediately smiled happily.
"I understand. When I return to the palace, I will make sure the emperor learn from you how to build bridges and roads."
Liu Feng was happy.
What? You just think about building bridges and roads. You don’t have any other ideas.
In the current Dali Dynasty, can the little money in the treasury withstand the emperor's turmoil?
Looking at Liu Feng's smile, Linglong quickly realized that she had said something wrong again.
Then he immediately looked at Liu Feng with a somewhat pitiful look.
Who knew that Liu Feng was not willing to continue talking to her at all. Instead, he drank the remaining porridge in a few mouthfuls and watched everyone go to work.
This is a floating bridge built in the mountains. There were floating bridges in that era, but this floating bridge built with iron chains was definitely the first of its kind.
The chains are strong enough and heavy enough, so the most important thing is the foundation.
Later on, wooden boards will be laid on top.
Under such a heavy weight, even people and horses could not pass.
The wind and rain in the mountain stream alone can cause serious damage.
At that time, the entire bridge will sway from side to side under the strong wind, which will be a test for the foundation.
Therefore, Liu Ye not only needs a solid foundation, but also needs to use the surrounding rocks as natural piles.
When Liu Ye came, he brought along the stonemasons with him, in order to turn the exposed parts of the large stones that were buried deep underground into stone pillars.
We have to do this, because stabilizing the bridge is one thing, but we also have to consider how it can be used for over a hundred years.
Liu Feng saw that there were already nine people working at the previously marked point on the opposite side, so Liu Feng started a new operation.
He ordered a huge stone to be brought over, tied two thick ropes to the stone, and used the force of the catapult from behind to throw it towards the other side.
There was only a dull sound, and the stone flew over along with two thick ropes.
Then, it drew a perfect arc in the air.
Because of the influence of the rope, the catapult was not as accurate as last time, but this did not affect the final effect.
