Chapter 249 The Way of Man(1/2)
Li Qi walked in Yu's shop.
The price is really…unexpectedly low.
Most jade materials are much cheaper than the same-grade natural and earth treasures.
Some ordinary products are almost the same as meat.
It seems that they don't mean to hoard goods.
It should be the habit of the whole people wearing jade, so the Tang Kingdom made such regulation?
Thinking of this, it is really possible.
By the way...
Li Qi suddenly realized that he had discovered something while talking to the officials of the Honglu Temple.
That is, in the transactions of Tang State, it seems that it does not pursue "profits", but only pursues appropriate labor returns, that is, only requires the value of labor, without the additional commodity profit growth.
But when buying things, you must pay extra money to create profits to make money for merchants. This matter has been engraved in Li Qi's mind, which makes him unable to react for the moment.
But here, all the things I just bought are cost-price plus some hard work!?
The entire society has no room for redundant profits. In other words... almost all commodities are essentially the exchange of labor and raw materials, which completely eliminates the financial crisis caused by hoarding and surplus value.
How did the cyclical financial crisis come about?
The cost of the commodity is one or two taels, but in order to obtain profits, it is necessary to exploit the workers who produce these commodities to generate surplus value. At the same time, the price is increased on the market and finally sell two taels, or even more.
The product is worth one or two taels, but it is sold for two taels. The ending is that the amount of money will be more than the product, so that everyone’s money cannot buy all the goods on the market, but it leads to a large amount of goods accumulation.
After the accumulation, prices will inevitably be reduced in order to clear the position, which will eventually lead to a price collapse and a financial crisis.
Of course, Li Qi also knows how to alleviate this method.
That's debt.
It doesn’t matter if the workers’ money cannot afford the goods they produce. I’ll lend you money, so you can afford it.
Through consumerism and advance loans, those who buy goods with advance loans can make the ‘debt income’ affordable goods, so that the market can continue to operate.
But this has its limit. Once it reaches the limit that cannot be paid, that is, the debt is too high to afford it, it will cause a second financial crisis, that is, the ‘sub-prime crisis’.
Therefore, Tang State came up with a solution to the cyclical financial crisis and jumped out of the cage of private society. At the same time, it also regulated the problem of labor depreciation through the market.
How does the automated large factory industry operate without profits and how to solve the problem of labor enthusiasm?
How did they do it!?
Li Qi didn't understand that his knowledge of mathematics and economics was only enough for him to analyze this point, and he couldn't imagine how the Tang Kingdom did it in the future.
But the only thing that is certain is that even jade with a large demand cannot increase its price here.
This rule...it really runs through everything. Can you even consider this aspect?
Li Qi was amazed.
The more I read these, the more I admire humanity, and at the same time I am a little afraid.
In terms of integrating resources and reducing internal consumption, I dare not say other Taoist priests, at least witchcraft is inferior.
However, Li Qi did not realize another thing.
That is, just after looking at the prices of jade and food, Li Qi had already noticed part of the economic operation rules of humanity.
His brain is smarter than before, and as his cultivation improves, he is getting smarter and smarter.
But at this moment he didn't pay attention to this, just summarizing humane finance while examining the jade materials in these stores.
After sighing at the humane methods, I should continue to see what to buy for Chen Shuibi, after all, this is a serious matter.
However, although the jade here is cheaper than Li Qi thought, it is only relatively speaking.
After all, as a natural treasure, jade is naturally of grade, and high-grade jade will not be cheap no matter what.
The formation of normal jade means that the natural qi is hidden in the stone, and then gradually affects it, causing the nature of the stone to change. This is the source of jade.
For example, jade like "Chi Zhang" contains fire, "Qing Gui" contains wood energy, and "Cang Bi" contains pure weather.
In Li Qi's sacrificial rituals, the red zhang ceremonies were used to worship the south and the green gui ceremonies were used to worship the east, which also came from this direction.
What Li Qi was planning to buy this time was Jade, which is the type of jade in the name Chenshuibi.
This is not a normal product.
It is said that: "The emperor wears pure jade and sets of ribbons, the prince wears mountain and sets of ribbons, the doctor wears water and sets of pure ribbons, the prince wears yu jade and sets of ribbons, and the scholar wears silhouettes and sets of ribbons."
This water-cang jade is a kind of jade.
There is a poem that says: "All countries are in the meeting of kings, and all the princes are beloved water."
Even the senior officials in the court would wear this jade when meeting with all countries, which shows its quality.
As for the water jade... Li Qi can't afford it because this is extremely high-quality jade, but it is second-class, and it is not carved or bought ready-made magic tools. As long as jade materials are used, the price is gritting your teeth Still acceptable.
When he walked into a shop, Li Qi saw a piece of untold raw stone.
Through the true knowledge of the rhyme, he can see the jade contained in it.
A piece of sixth grade jade contains the spirit of mountains and rivers, and is connected into one, with very excellent quality.
Li Qi walked to the side.
A female shopping guide came over: "Is this gentleman interested in this jasper rough stone?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, she said that the jasper hidden in the raw stone.
Yes, in this world, gambling stones is basically unlikely. Even the earth can use X-ray scanning to screen excellent rough stones in advance.
It is even simpler in the Tang Kingdom. Cultivators can detect the things in the raw stone by taking a glance. It is unlikely to find a bargain. Don’t treat others as fools.
After figuring this out, Li Qi asked, "Girl, what is the price of this raw stone?"
But the shopping guide did not directly tell the price, but waved his hand, and the water sleeves were flying, and a illusion of mirrors and water moon appeared in front of Li Qi.
"Sir, look, the formation of this jade is the combination of two sixth-grade mountain qi, water and air into one, forming a pattern of mountains and rivers interdependent, which is how this jade is formed."
"There are four seasons in this mountain atmosphere; the spring mountains are gorgeous and as smiling, the summer mountains are green and as dripping, the autumn mountains are bright and as washing, the winter mountains are quiet and as sleeping, complement each other with low order, respect each in order, overlapping and overlapping The only thing that is close to you is deep and deep, the scenery is so vast and slim and ethereal, is the look of a gentleman!”
As she said that, she showed the nature of the mountain air.
Then, the picture turned and came to the water vapor surrounding the mountain air. The lens of the mirror flowers and water moon approached the water surrounding the mountains.
"Like this mountain, this water also has the color of the four seasons. It follows the air of the four seasons. The spring water is slightly green, the summer water is slightly cool, the autumn water is slightly clear, the winter water is slightly sad, and the water flows horizontally, and the water is gangsters, and the mountains are full of gangsters.
It shines together, showing the air of clouds, smoke and mist, like a mist."
"The jade spirit, overlooking the upper end, you can see the overlapping of beach stones, the water is rising and the heavy mist is gathered in the green, the lake light and water shadow, the spirit stone changes, the leakage is wrong, the green color brushes the rocks upward, the appearance of the dust world is completely different
, all the profound ones are completely different, and they are actually the best choice for the sixth-grade treasure jade."
"Besides, this jade is still a raw stone now, full of possibilities. Whether it is a hairpin, a wine bar, a jade bracelet, or a seal, it can be made. In the future, the magic weapon design can be customized according to the shape. We can also contact Mr.
Professional craftsmen and craftsmen.”
To be honest, I have to say that professional salespeople are really good at talking.
Li Qi sighed a little, he would definitely not be able to say these words if he were the ones.
However, while he sighed, he was also a little confused.
"Girl, I really want to buy it. I just have a problem. This should be no profit. Why is the girl so enthusiastic about selling it?" Li Qi asked in confusion.
However, saying this made the shopping guide confused.
She tilted her head and looked at Li Qi curiously. She didn't know why the young man said such words, but she still answered the answer politely:
"Mr. I was joking, of course, because this is my job. I chose this job because I like it? Isn't it because I like it?"
After saying a word, Li Qi was stunned.
He was stunned and was stunned, and a huge wave was stirred in his heart!
I see!
I see!
Pure love, pure love.
People are born with the instinct to pursue their own love, but in other places, this kind of love will be bound by various difficulties in the real world and will eventually become "forced by life".
Most of these difficulties in reality come from the oppression brought by the shortage of daily necessities, and a small part comes from the mismatch between the inflated desire and one's own ability.
But in the Tang Dynasty, there was no such shortage of materials.
That is to say...
I dare not talk about all the territory of the Tang Kingdom, but only referring to Chang'an, I am afraid that no one will be forced to do things they don't like because of the shortage of daily necessities.
Moreover, they also have enough resources and energy to pursue what they really like.
That is... chasing one's own "Tao".
A pure Taoist chaser constantly works hard in the direction he likes, and the motivation generated in this way is definitely countless times stronger than working hard by being forced by survival.
To be continued...
