Wandao long distance

Chapter 250

Li Qi walked in Yu's shop.

The price is really... unexpectedly low.

Most of the jade materials are much cheaper than the heaven and earth treasures of the same grade.

Some mortals are almost like meat.

As if they didn't mean to hoard.

It should be the habit of the whole people to admire jade, so Tang Guo made such a regulation on purpose?

If you think about it, it's really possible.

correct……

Li Qi suddenly realized that he had already discovered one thing during the conversation with the Honglu Temple officials.

That is, in Tang's transactions, it seems that they do not pursue 'profit', but only pursue appropriate labor returns, that is, they only need to pay the value of labor, and do not need to pay extra for the increase in commodity profits.

It's just that you have to pay extra money to buy things to make profits for the merchants to 'make money'. This matter has been engraved in Li Qi's mind, so he didn't realize it for a while.

But here, the things I just bought are all cost price plus some hard work! ?
There is no room for redundant profits in the whole society. In other words...almost all commodities are essentially the exchange of labor and raw materials. In this way, the financial crisis caused by the hoarding of roasted seeds and nuts and surplus value is completely eliminated.

How did the periodic financial crisis come about?

The cost of goods is worth one tael, but in order to make a profit, it is necessary to exploit the laborers who produce these goods to generate surplus value, while increasing the price in the market, and finally sell for two taels, or even more.

Commodities are worth one tael, but they are sold for two taels. The result is that the amount of money will be more than the goods, so that everyone’s money can’t buy all the goods on the market, resulting in a large amount of goods piling up.

After the accumulation, the price will inevitably be reduced in order to clear the warehouse, which will eventually lead to a price collapse and a financial crisis.

Of course, Li Qi also knew a way to alleviate this method.

That is debt.

The laborers' money can't afford the goods they produce, it doesn't matter, I will lend you the money so that you can afford it.

Through consumerism and advance lending, people can borrow in advance to buy goods, so that 'debt + income' can afford the goods they already have, so that the market can continue to operate.

But this has a limit. Once the limit is reached, that is, the debt is too much to afford, it will cause the second type of financial crisis, that is, the 'subprime mortgage crisis'.

So, Tang Guo came up with a solution to the periodic financial crisis and jumped out of the cage of the private society?At the same time, the problem of labor depreciation has been regulated through the market.

How does the automated large factory industry operate without profit, 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 to this point. He couldn't imagine how Tang would do it in the future.

But the only thing that is certain is that even if it is jade that has a large demand, the price cannot rise here.

This rule... really runs through everything, can you even take this aspect into consideration?

Li Qi admired.

The more I read these, the more I admire humanity, and at the same time I feel a little afraid.

In terms of integrating resources and reducing internal friction, other orthodoxy dare not say, at least shamanism is not as good.

However, Li Qi didn't realize another thing either.

That is, just looking at the prices of jade and food, Li Qi has already noticed a part of human nature's economic operation laws.

His brain is smarter than before, and with the improvement of his cultivation, he is getting smarter and smarter.

But at this moment, he didn't pay attention to this. He just reviewed the jade materials in these shops while summarizing humane finance.

After lamenting the humane means, let's continue to look at what to buy for Shen Shuibi, after all, this is also a serious matter.

However, although the jade here is cheaper than Li Qi imagined, it is only in relative terms.

After all, as a natural treasure, jade is of high grade, and high-grade jade will not be cheap anyway.

The formation of normal jade is that the natural gas is hidden in the stone, and then gradually affected, causing the nature of the stone to change. This is the source of jade.

For example, jade like 'Chizhang' contains fire energy, 'Qinggui' contains wood energy, and 'Cangbi' contains pure weather.

Among Li Qi's sacrificial rites, Chizhang is used to worship the south, and Qinggui is used to worship the east, which also come from this direction.

And what Li Qi was going to buy this time was Jasper, which was the kind of jade in Shen Shuibi's name.

This is no ordinary stuff.

There is a saying: "The emperor wears pure jade and wears a black ribbon, the prince wears mountain black jade and wears a red ribbon, the doctor wears water beryl and wears a pure ribbon, the prince wears Yu jade and wears a jade ribbon, and the scholar wears a jade ribbon and a silk ribbon."

This water beryl is a kind of jasper.

There is a poem that says: "The kings of all countries will meet, and the princes will admire the water."

Even the high officials of the court and China will wear this kind of jade when they meet with all nations, which shows its quality.

Water beryl... Li Qi can't afford it anymore, because this kind of jasper is extremely high-quality, but it's inferior, and it doesn't carve, and doesn't buy ready-made instruments. Still acceptable.

Walking into a shop, Li Qi saw an unopened rough stone.

Through Zhenzhi Yun, he can see the jade hidden in it.

A piece of sixth-grade jasper, which contains the spirit of mountains and rivers, is integrated into one, and its quality is very good.

Li Qi walked to the side.

A female shopping guide came over: "Sir, are you interested in this piece of rough jasper?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she revealed that the jasper was hidden in the original stone.

That's right, in this kind of world, gambling on stones is basically impossible. Even the earth can use X-ray scanning to screen excellent rough stones in advance.

It is even easier in the Tang Dynasty. Practitioners can detect what is in the rough stone at a glance. It is impossible to miss it. Don't treat other people as fools.

After figuring this out, Li Qi asked, "Girl, what's the price of this rough stone?"

But the shopping guide lady didn't directly tell the price, but waved her hand, and the sleeves fluttered, and a fantasy world appeared in front of Li Qi's eyes.

"Let's see, sir, the formation of this jasper is the combination of two sixth-grade mountain qi and water qi, forming a pattern of interdependent mountains and rivers. This is how this piece of jasper is formed."

"In the atmosphere of this mountain, there are the colors of the four seasons; the spring mountains are bright and graceful like a smile, the summer mountains are green and like drops, the autumn mountains are bright and clean like washing, and the winter mountains are calm and sleepy. Those who are dense, close at hand, heavy and deep, and the scenery is absolutely beautiful but faint and misty, have the color of a gentleman of liberal arts!"

As she spoke, she showed the nature of the mountain air.

Then, the screen turned, and came to the water vapor surrounding the mountain air, and the lens of the mirror flower water moon approached the water surrounding the mountain.

"Like this mountain, the water also has the colors of the four seasons. According to the atmosphere of the four seasons, the water in spring is slightly green, the water in summer is slightly cool, the water in autumn is slightly clear, and the water in winter is slightly desolate. Tongyao, it is like clouds and smog, like haze."

"The aura of this jade, overlooking the upper end, you can see overlapping beaches and rocks, surging water, heavy haze and emerald green, lake light and water shadows, spiritual stones change, leaks and leaks are intertwined, emerald colors rush up the rock, very different from the surface of the dust world. , both profound and profound, it is the best choice among the top six gemstones."

"Besides, this jade is still a rough stone, which is full of possibilities. Whether it is a hairpin, wine vase, jade bracelet, or seal, it can all be made. In the future, we can also customize the design of the magic weapon according to the shape. We can also contact Mr. Professional craftsmen and refiners."

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.

However, while he sighed, he was also a little puzzled.

"Girl, buy it. I really want to buy it, but there is a problem. It should not be profitable. Why is the girl so enthusiastic about selling it?" Li Qi asked suspiciously.

However, saying this made the shopping guide girl confused.

She tilted her head and looked at Li Qi curiously. She didn't know why this young man said such words, but she still answered politely:

"Sir, you are joking. Of course it is because this is my job. I chose this job because I like it? Don't you do it because you like it?"

Li Qi was stunned after saying a word.

He froze in place, and a huge wave was set off in his heart!
That's it!

That's it!

Pure love, pure love.

People are born with the instinct to pursue their love, but in other places, this love will be bound by various difficulties in the real world, and in the end it can only become "forced by life".

Most of the various difficulties in reality come from the oppression brought about by the shortage of living materials, and a small part comes from the mismatch between inflated desires and one's own abilities.

But in the country of Tang, the shortage of supplies is gone.

That is to say...

I dare not say all the territories of the Tang Kingdom, but only Chang'an. I am afraid that no one will be forced to do things they don't like because of the shortage of living supplies.

Moreover, they also have enough resources and energy to pursue what they really like.

That is... chasing one's own 'Tao'.

A pure seeker keeps working hard in the direction he likes, and the motivation generated in this way is definitely infinitely stronger than being forced to work hard by survival.

Don't think that hobbies are construction workers or something ridiculous like the shopping guide girl now.

Isn't the construction workers' upward development a branch of the righteousness or humanity?

This shopping guide girl, continue to go up... Isn't it the 'pedestrians' from the lower branch of Zhuren, or the Honglu Temple, those officials of all sizes who communicate with foreign countries?

Love it from the bottom of your heart, and then go after it.

Is this the case in the whole of Chang'an?

Countless Taoists!
Li Qi couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

It's beautiful and scary at the same time!
Such a world is simply a perfect kingdom of heaven, and for those who live in it, it is a flawless utopia.

But Li Qi knew very well what such a beauty was built on, that's why he was in a cold sweat.

What is it built on?

You don't think the humane silver hegemony and the extremely strong desire to expand externally are attractive, do you?

Everything must be built on a material basis.

So the conclusion is very simple, the superior environment inside the human world and the beautiful scene of heaven are completely based on the wanton invasion and crushing of the outside world.

People-oriented, devouring everything.

This nature, this world, everything in the world, beyond the boundless realm, everything has to serve people!

This, I am afraid, is the fundamental logic of humanity!

The way of man, the loss is not enough to give more than enough!
Just when Li Qi was shocked by the thoughts in his heart, the voice of the shopping guide girl came from his ears.

"Sir? What's the matter? Why are you stunned?" She looked at Li Qi suspiciously.

This person is so strange, he asked some nonsensical questions, and then fell into deep thought on his own, with a shocked expression on his face.

I don't know how to put it... I always feel that there is a problem mentally.

He can't afford it, can he?
However, Li Qi woke up immediately, regained his sanity from the shock, and said with an apologetic expression: "Sorry, I thought of something and lost my mind. I am very satisfied with this piece of jade. I don't know how much it costs?"

The shopping guide nodded, and then said: "After all, it is a sixth-grade treasure. Although the charm is restrained and has no special effect, it can be used as a raw material to refine it into a magic weapon that can display its magic, so the price will not be too cheap. , 200 taels of silver, or a world of Grade Nine and Second Middle School, either."

Because of the world's huge resources and continuous production, according to its specific form, generally speaking, it can be exchanged for things that are several grades higher than itself, which is a very valuable resource.

For example, the special Zhouguang small world that Wushenshan has seen, although that small world has no grade, but if it is really worth it, it may be sold for the price of a fifth-grade magic weapon.

For example, in a world with special products like the earth oil world, even though it is only the ninth rank, it can easily be changed to a magic weapon around the sixth rank.

Other worlds that are nothing special and have no special products will be slightly cheaper.

But now, a piece of jasper can be exchanged for a world.

Li Qi couldn't help sighing... What are the lives in these worlds treated as?

Witchcraft doesn't occupy too many small worlds, and rarely enslaves or occupies resources in small worlds. The entire Witchway is not very aggressive, even if it is a small world under the jurisdiction of Witchcraft, most of them are. All are treated equally.

What should be is what it should be, regardless of first, second or third class, and it is almost impossible to use the world as a currency for transactions.

Thinking about it this way, Li Qi suddenly discovered that witchcraft is more about bartering. There is no unified currency at all. Only mortals have things like gold

Even the air beads he used when he was shopping at the street stalls were actually items with practical functions, not the general equivalent of silver, which was worthless.

The values ​​of the two sides...the difference is really not that big.

It can't be said who is good and who is bad, but this kind of gap between the three perspectives is a matter of course in fighting.

The dispute over the path is probably caused by this.

While thinking about this, he didn't stop his hand, but took out the costume suit that the teacher gave him before.

In fact, it was that set of particularly good-looking clothes, a set of seventh-grade magic weapons, plus the hundreds of thousands of Qi beads before.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly shouted behind Li Qi.

"Wait a minute!"
