C108 Money Is Not Money
"Nonsense!"
The voice on the other side became louder.
Xiao Yun smiled lightly and pulled a chair over. He sat there with his legs crossed and said, "Anyway, there is nothing much to do now. Coincidentally, there is such a wonderful person like you here. I will teach you what is called macroscopic thinking! It will save you the trouble of doing something for yourself. If you want to waste your freedom and your life, you will lose more than you gain. I keep feeling that it's a waste."
He cleared his throat and said loudly, "Money, not money! Do you understand this? "
"Isn't that bullsh * t?"
The man said coldly.
Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Huh? You are such a person. Other people are talking to you nicely, but why are you scolding them? Is it so rude? "
" You call that 'talking nicely'? You told me that money is not money. Isn't that nonsense? It's light when I scold you. If it wasn't for my hands and feet being trapped, I would have hit you! "
Xiao Yun sighed and said," Talking to stupid people requires more effort. "
"Who are you calling stupid? "
"You don't want to admit it? Fine. Then I'll say it. If I'm right, you can't pretend that you don't understand me. We should have morals, right? "
"Hmph! As long as you're right, why not? Hehe, I'd like to see what kind of twisted logic you have!"
"Alright, then let me give you an example. Let's assume that there are only 100 catties of rice in this world."
"How can there be only so little?"
"Let's say, let's say you don't understand? ! "
Xiao Yun shouted.
The man curled his lips and said, "Tsk, why did you scold people too?"
"I was angry with you! Cough, cough, cough..." After coughing a few times, Xiao Yun continued, "Assuming that there are only 100 kilograms of rice in the world and only 100 wens, you can understand that, right?"
"Okay, okay, okay. This is quite easy to understand, you continue."
"If a person wants to eat rice, use money to buy it..."
"Can't you plant it yourself?"
"Are you annoyed? "
"Alright, alright, you can continue."
Xiao Yun's eyes twitched a few times. He realized that this guy's brain did not seem to be very good. He did not know if it was because he had been locked up too hard these days.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yun said, "But one day, there will only be 100 kilograms of rice in this world, but the money will be 200 wen. How much do you think the rice should be?"
"Of course it should be 2 wen!"
"So, before, it was 1 wens for 1 jin of rice, but now it is 2 wens for 1 jin of rice. Is this still money?"
"What do you mean?"
"Money is just a kind of allocation. Money is an ability to exchange for one jin of rice, and some things can be exchanged for one jin of rice. It should be able to exchange for one jin of rice forever, right?"
"This..."
The voice thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "There should be something that can be exchanged for a kilogram of rice. After all, the rice hasn't changed, so it shouldn't have changed."
"Huh? I suddenly realized that you've become smarter again."
"I was originally very smart!"
That person resisted.
"In other words, something that can be exchanged for one catty of rice, we should call it money, right?"
"Of course it should be like that."
Xiao Yun twitched his mouth and continued, "But the amount of money has changed. It went from one wen to two wen after that. Is money still money?"
"This..."
Xiao Yun secretly changed the concept.
In this world where there was no concept of finance, there was indeed a problem that could not be changed.
That was the relationship between the value of goods and the value of money.
This thing was too complicated.
Even in Xiao Yun's past life, in that highly developed world, he did not have a fixed concept and an absolutely accurate understanding of finance.
In economics, as long as there was one thing that was absolute, no matter how strong or perfect a theory was, no matter how advanced an economist was, no matter how outstanding his military achievements were, there was definitely something wrong with them!
Therefore, Xiao Yun very naturally changed a concept, allowing the people across the wall to have a different understanding of "circulating currency" and "money, and no longer think that they were absolutely the same!
Xiao Yun continued to ask," Then, if the previous hundred wen were to be grasped by a hundred people on average, in other words, if a person has one wen, they can use that one wen to buy 1 jin of rice, ___ continued to ask, which means that if a person has one wen, they can use that one wen to buy 1 jin of rice. Can you understand this? "
"What's so difficult about that? One kilogram per person, it's very simple. "
"Alright, then if the extra hundred wen per person comes out instead of everyone's average, who do you think is the unlucky one?"
"Bad luck?"
"Yeah, think about it carefully," Wang Yao said.
"Hm..." That person thought for a moment, then muttered: "Previously, one wen per person for one jin of rice. Then there was an extra hundred wens, so the price of rice rose to two wens. That person could use the extra hundred wen to buy an additional fifty jin of rice. As for the remaining ninety-nine people, they could only use one wens to exchange for half a jins of rice... "
After muttering to himself, that person immediately said, "Isn't the unlucky 99 people?!"
" Oh, oh!" Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad. You are quite smart. You have made me look at you in a new light!"
"Who doesn't understand?"
"Do you understand?" ___ asked.
"Of course I do!"
"Then why are you still holding onto the treasure and not letting it go? "
"Hm?"
"Think about it. The treasure is filled with gold, silver, and treasures. There is a lot of money, but there is no food, right? There is no cloth, right? There is no wood to build cows, horses, and sheep, right? "
" Naturally... there's no such thing. "
"Doesn't this mean that the rice in Qin Country hasn't changed, but there's a lot of money? If the money flows into the hands of a small number of people, causing the rice to become expensive, wouldn't the people in Qin Country suffer? "0
"This!"
"The king of Qin Country can do such a thing? What are you hiding for?"
"This... is not right! This money can not be placed in the hands of a small portion of people. It can be distributed and everyone gets the same thing!"
"Oh, even so, although it is very difficult to distribute it evenly, it is too difficult. The manpower and resources allocated and the credit card during the distribution process are required. This is simply an impossible assumption, but even if this assumption is established, then... it was nothing more than that everyone went from one wens to two wens, and the rice they bought was only one jin! In other words, under the most perfect circumstances, after completing an impossible task, this treasure had no effect on the Qin Country at all. Hehe, the most perfect method, the result would be the same. As for the other possibilities, most of them were just unlucky. Only a small portion of the people profited, and the majority of the people still got what they deserved. Do you think there's any meaning to digging up this treasure? "
" This... But... then they still want to ask me? "
That person was somewhat stupefied.
Some were even annoyed, some were shocked, and some went crazy!
He felt that all the torture and scheming he had endured for so long seemed to have been in vain.
If he hated the Qin Country, it would be like telling them the exact location of the treasure, or even helping them dig it out and give it to them for free. That would be the real way to harm them!
"Could it be that there are no benefits at all?"
"It's not impossible."
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "If there are a lot of treasures and they are taken out in time, it is possible to control them."
"What should we do?"
"It's very simple. We just need to take advantage of the fact that the other countries don't know about it. Hurry up and send the money from these treasures to other countries to exchange for all kinds of materials, such as grain and rice noodles. What cloth cows and sheep can be exchanged for as much as we can. As a result, the money did not flow into the hands of a hundred people. Everyone still had a wen in their hands. However, they bought another hundred kilograms of rice. Including the previous ones... It became two hundred kilograms of rice. This way... Hehe, calculate for yourself."
" Oh? Doesn't that mean that everyone can exchange for two pounds of rice? "
"Yeah, although it's not good for the long term, it's true that in the short term... It can make the people rich in an instant, but the price of the currency will increase. It will also result in a situation where there is a lot of money. If some people do not have a single cent of money saved... Instead, they saved a few kilograms of grain. In his opinion, saving money was the same as storing grain. But in the end, because of the price reduction of food, the money he could exchange for was less. Another example, as you said before, the food was grown by humans. The increase in the currency will make those who hold the currency... Taking the benefits from the farmers will be detrimental to the long-term. "
"Then what should we do?"
"Hehe, this seems to have nothing to do with you, right?" asked Wang Yao.
"I want to know!"
"Well... Alright, since I have nothing to do anyway, it's actually not that hard. I just need to use one event to spend the extra wealth."
"How do I spend it?"
"War is the best choice. How much grain does one war need? Since it's too much, use it up. Turn the total amount of grain into one wens to exchange for one jin of rice. That would be a good thing for everyone. "
"So that's how it is!"
That person was stunned for a long time before he loudly said: "So, if this treasure is used properly, it can be exchanged for resources from other countries and then attack other countries? This is amazing! "
Xiao Yun laughed and said, "Properly used? It's not that easy! In this world, other than me, who else can do this? It's already very good if you don't make yourself angry."
Saying this, he tilted his head and asked again:" So I don't quite understand, you've been doing this for so long. Why did you insist on not revealing the secrets of the knife technique and the treasure, for what reason? Is it because of the anger in your heart, or is it because you think you can still get out in the future? He could even take the treasure for himself? Don't worry, you want to be the only one who gets a hundred wens out of those hundred people. This is absolutely impossible, and no one will allow it."
