Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

"Your majesty, do you know how many Gold Hidden Pavilion in the entire country are there now?"    

"How many?"    

His majesty was stunned by Xiao Yun's jumping thinking.    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "One thousand three hundred and twenty seven."    

"Hiss... so many?"    

"Then Your Majesty, do you know how many people rely on the Gold Hidden Pavilion to make a living?"    

"How many?"    

"Including construction, labor, and even transportation, the number of people is close to a hundred thousand." said Wang Yao.    

"A hundred thousand people?! Your Gold Hidden Pavilion has a hundred thousand people now?"    

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. This is only the present. There will be more people in the future. Your Majesty, don't treat these people as peasants who poached you. Instead, it should be interpreted as... peasants providing 100,000 jobs! Your Majesty, you should know that the Great Qin Country has gone through a few trials and tribulations. How many people with nowhere to make a living appeared out of thin air? "    

The corner of His Majesty's eyes twitched.    

Indeed, after the natural and man-made disasters, many civilians had lost their homes. They had hands and feet, but there was no place to take them in. Even he could not give them food to eat. He could not just take care of them for free, could he?    

"Rice bowl," in a more academic way, was a job. His Majesty only had a vague understanding of this concept. Now that he heard what Xiao Yun said, he changed his way of thinking.    

Xiao Yun said, "Your Majesty, to put it bluntly, the most important thing in the world is... It's to feed the people and warm them up so they can work. It is a very good method, or even the best method. Although some people earned less, compared to having no work to do... It should be much better, right?"    

"That makes sense."    

Xiao Yun said, "Furthermore, the gap between gold coins and copper coins will be stable sooner or later. Before this, the profit generated because of the unequal amount of money. In the end, there were people who made money, and the peasants made money for the Gold Hidden Pavilion. They used the Gold Hidden Pavilion to turn it into a rice bowl and provided for 100,000 refugees. The peasants feel that this is a good thing."    

"Hmph! Refugees? I'm afraid there are very few refugees in the Gold Hidden Pavilion, right? I heard that there are many people who are illiterate. "    

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly and said," Your Majesty, you can't just look at this matter so directly. For example, a person who left a workshop and went to Gold Hidden Pavilion to earn a living. Then, was there a person missing from the workshop? They had to find someone who couldn't fill it up and fill it up. If it was a refugee, then it was good. If it wasn't a refugee, then he had a job before. After he left, they still had to find someone to fill in the vacancies one by one. In the end, there will definitely be a refugee that will be used."    

"This... is a little complicated."    

"Your Majesty, that's what you think. There are a hundred jobs in the world right now. But there are a hundred and ten labor forces. No matter how detailed they are, there will always be ten people who can't make a living without a job, right? As for the grasslanders, they would open an additional workshop for five people to work in. Thus, 110 people would have 105 jobs, and only five people would not be able to make a living. Isn't that a good thing? "    

With such a simple explanation, His Majesty finally understood.    

He let out a long sigh.    

He discovered that there were simply too many of them. Some of them were even unheard of and had never thought about them before.    

He had no idea how Xiao Yun's brain grew. How did he even know about these things?    

No wonder he could produce things like money.    

Helplessly shaking his head, His Majesty said, "Then what is the second thing?"    

"Selling things!"    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Gold Hidden Pavilion, if we don't use such a good place, wouldn't it be a waste?"    

"Selling stuff?"    

"Yes, it's the ritual knife now, and there are still some medicines. There are also some things from 0708, and after that, the production scale of these things will continue to increase, Wang Yao said. Of course, the variety will also increase, and these things will be sold out. The profits will be earned by the Gold Hidden Pavilion. "    

"I see. But I think it will be harder to expand the scale, right?"    

"Not difficult!" Xiao Yun smiled and said, "As long as you have money, it will not be difficult!"    

"Didn't you say you don't have money?"    

"I don't have money, but the Gold Hidden Pavilion does!"    

"That's the money of the people!"    

"But they don't have it right now. The Gold Hidden Pavilion can borrow it for a bit. It won't be a big problem."    

"This..."    

His Majesty always felt that something was a little inappropriate, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.    

He just felt that Xiao Yun was a bit shameless.    

In fact, that was it.    

Xiao Yun said, "If the civilians put the money in the Gold Hidden Pavilion, it would be equivalent to the Gold Hidden Pavilion giving it to them for free. There must be some benefits, such as... secretly using a portion of the money to make money. On one hand, it can be used to consume money, and on the other, it can allow the Gold Hidden Pavilion to continue existing. Why not? "    

"Money makes money? What kind of life is it? Don't tell me he also wants to have a child for ten months? "    

"Of course not!"    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "For example, if we sell the goods now, we can produce them step by step. If the grasslanders have a workshop to buy raw materials and produce them... If we sell them, we still need to repair the workshop to make some profits. There wouldn't be much money left if they sent out the case money. Only a small portion of the people would be left, and the grasslanders would be put into production. They would expand the workshop... This process would be very difficult, and it would take a very long time. Even if we want to double the production, we don't know how many years it will take."    

"That's true. As long as an old brand starts from nothing and slowly grows bigger, it will be very common for it to experience hundreds of years."    

"Yes, Your Majesty! But it's different now, the workshop of the grasslanders. There is no need to wait for the final profit. The grass-citizens are rich... No, the Gold Hidden Pavilion is rich! Since it was the Gold Hidden Pavilion's own business, he would take out some money. As long as the items were sold well, the scale would be increased by ten times or a hundred times! At that time, wouldn't the amount of money he earned be ten times or a hundred times more? The Gold Hidden Pavilion will use these profits to make up for the money they took earlier. This... is money making money!"    

" It can still be like this? "    

His Majesty was amazed and his eyes lit up.    

Even the sleepiness from before had completely disappeared.    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "This is the key reason why the Credit Gold Prefecture can still be maintained!"    

"There doesn't seem to be much of a problem."    

Xiao Yun said, "That's right, Your Majesty. There naturally won't be any problem. Even if a workshop failed, there were still many other problems. Let's fill in the gaps, as long as the money we get in the end is increased. The Gold Hidden Pavilion will become bigger and bigger, and the money will become more stable. "    

"En, en... What about the third step?"    

"This is something that has yet to be carried out, but it has already been tested."    

"What?"    

"Your Majesty, you see, the workshop of Gold Hidden Pavilion can expand its scale instantly with the support of money and earn more profits. What if other people have the same conditions?" asked Wang Yao.    

"Others?"    

"Yes. For example, you have an excellent workshop now. The things produced are in short supply. Once they are produced, they can be sold immediately. But your workshop is very small, and the goods that you produce are limited. What do you do?"    

"Of course, expand!"    

"But Your Majesty, you do not have the money to expand. The annual profit is only that much. It is not enough to expand."    

"This..."    

"But the Gold Hidden Pavilion can relieve Your Majesty's worries! As long as Your Majesty uses his workshop as collateral, you can borrow a large sum of money from the Gold Hidden Pavilion. You can use this money to build a new workshop and double the production. Then, the profit would naturally double, and you would only need to take out a small portion of the profit. You can return it to Gold Hidden Pavilion as interest."    

"Interest? Isn't... isn't this a loan?"    

There was a loan in Great Qin Country.    

However, there was a huge limitation.    

Usually, it was a casino.    

You bet money, you lose everything, but you think you can win it back, but you don't have the capital. What should we do? Lend money from the casino!    

Thus, when he heard this, His Majesty's expression turned ugly.    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "That kind of debt, the interest is very high."    

"Of course it is very high. There are 10% and 20% interest. If you don't pay it back in a year, it will double. If it is another year, it will double again. 100 yuan is 400 yuan! A vicious way to eat people without spitting out bones!"    

His Majesty was gnashing his teeth in anger.    

These were all matters of the martial arts world, but they were really harmful to the people.    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Then Your Majesty, what if the interest of Gold Hidden Pavilion is 10%?"    

"Ten percent? That means 20% less? You are really greedy! "    

" No, what the commoner means is that it's 10% per year. "    

His Majesty was stunned and quickly asked: "A whole year? Ten percent? This is even lower than borrowing money from the people!"
