Wandao long distance

Chapter 252 The Future
Li Qi controlled himself not to think about those things anymore, took out these foods, arranged them one by one, and officially started breakfast.

The rabbits were very happy to finish the arrangement together, sniffing their noses from time to time, as if they were very happy.

The two began to eat, and it had to be said that these cooked foods from various places did have their own way.

There is a reason why you are expensive, and your craftsmanship is not even inferior to the fox you met in Qingwu City.

The two ate very happily, and while eating, Shen Shuibi was also talking about her future plans.

"Li Qi, you are studying at the Taixue. Although I have never been out of Luofu Mountain, I have never really come to the Tang Dynasty, but I have heard of the name of Chang'an Taixue."

"I thought about it last night. Among the Taixue, there are not a few noble sons. Even the common people who are selected have their own funding agencies. They should have a lot of resources. Li Qi, if you are studying in the Taixue, it is just right You can connect to their line..."

Li Qi was a little surprised when he heard Shen Shuibi say these words.

Rabbit never thought about this before, but now he can actively think about it...

I don't know if this is considered sad or 'mature'?
Maybe it's a little bit of both.

However, Li Qi shook his head: "It's unrealistic, as you said, most of the Taixue students have their own supporters, and they will not be short of medicines or thoughts, and the resources in the Tang Dynasty are probably allocated according to the plan." , it is difficult to sell at a premium.”

Yes, from Li Qi's point of view, Tang's internal trade regulations and means are very difficult to generate profits, and there is not even a large commercial firm. It can be seen that there is no such system and the soil for survival of profits.

Li Qi took out his previous notebook and began to talk about his analysis to Shen Shuibi.

"First of all, look...in Tang, at least in Chang'an, most producers and buyers are self-employed, and occasionally employ a small number of employees."

Li Qi began to analyze.

This kind of one-on-one communication method cannot be achieved in other places, because communication and transportation are costly, and most people cannot afford this cost, so it can only be handled by a specialized trading chamber. This gave birth to the post of 'merchant' who exchanged needs.

A person who is not engaged in production, but is in charge of trade in the middle.

Afterwards, certain producers will emerge among these people, who will be responsible for both production and trade, making profits through information asymmetry, and even occupying the means of production, becoming the de facto gatekeepers.

But in the Tang Dynasty, the responsibility and power of communication, the terminal and the dragon vein fully bear the cost of this part, which directly leads to the fact that most of the Tang Dynasty is now individual merchants facing individual buyers. They do not need to worry about the communication cost in the middle, except for time. Plus, it's almost zero cost.

Then there is the means of production. Basically, don’t think about it. I’m afraid almost all of them are state-owned, and most of them are contracted by private individual businessmen. It’s too much to think about controlling them.

Big companies, big chambers of commerce, middlemen who sucked blood between the two sides were directly banned.

It sounds magical, and Li Qi doesn't know how they did it, anyway, they did it, and there seems to be no sequelae...

This is good news for most people, but it may not be good news for those who want to rely on this to accumulate wealth.

Because of this, if Shen Shuibi wants to make money by selling her knowledge and skills in this situation and market, the efficiency may not be very high, and it will be difficult to open up sales.

"Is that so... Then we have to think of other ways." Shen Shuibi followed Li Qi's train of thought for a while and found that it was indeed the case.

In such a society, relying on "selling" to make money can only earn wealth equal to one's ability, and it is difficult to achieve high premiums and high profits.

High profit itself is the squeeze and deprivation of the buyer's value. In Chang'an, this deprivation has almost disappeared.

Li Qi went to the morning market to buy things, and there was no premium. Except for labor, everything else was almost at cost price.

A dreamlike world, but not very friendly to businessmen who rely on sucking other people's blood to survive.

But for practitioners, such a world is the best.

The most important thing in chasing Tao is naturally to engage in research and development, and gradually find the true meaning of Tao.

In this process, the more people the better, the greater the strength and the higher the chance of producing results.

Now it seems that the upper echelons of the Tang state are expanding and fighting for resources because they hope that the Tang state will always be in a stage of great material abundance, so that all people in the country can pursue the spiritual realm, devote themselves to the road of chasing the road, and brainstorm.

Knowledge can be disseminated, and in the future, we may have to rely on the wisdom of others to go further. As for the merchants who were wiped out and the world that was drained by the Tang Dynasty?
Dead is dead, who cares?

So, this path doesn't work.

Therefore, Shen Shuibi could only continue to think about other ways with a distressed expression, how to make more money.

But Li Qi said at this time: "I also thought of some other ways, although not very kind, but it should be the fastest way to make money now."

"What?" Shen Shuibi immediately raised her head, looking at Li Qi in surprise.

Li Qi is indeed better at these things than her.

"Tang country can't do it, let's go outside the region to develop, just take advantage of the east wind of Tang country." Li Qi made his own judgment.

He said: "The resources of the Tang Dynasty are so endless. I think the root cause of this lies in the plundering of countless extraterritories. Now that we have come to Taixue, how about taking advantage of this east wind and joining the plundering team?"

Following the Tang State to plunder the Endless Territory, this is probably the quickest way to make money.

"Kill... Rob?" Shen Shuibi's expression was a bit unacceptable.

She is born with a Taoist mind, with a peaceful nature and a refined nature. If she hadn't been exiled due to an accident, she would have been squatting in the mountains for the next 1 years, continuing to be a fairy.

Is a real 'mountain fairy', without any mortal heart.

If it wasn't for an accident that turned her into a mortal, Li Qi might never be able to hook up with such a fairy in his life.

But now, asking Shen Shuibi to grab it directly is not in line with her temperament all the time, so she finds it hard to accept.

but……

She clenched her fist suddenly.

Sometimes, some things have to be done, this is for Luofu Mountain.

Seeing that the rabbit suddenly started to get angry, Li Qi suddenly knocked her on the head.

The murderous intent that had been brewing dissipated, Shen Shuibi looked at Li Qi suspiciously: "...why, what's wrong?"

"What are you thinking about? Killing, robbing? That's so slow." Li Qi shook his head: "Except for special circumstances, I'm afraid Tang Guo will not choose to do it casually."

"You see, Tang's current method of plunder is to use its own superior productivity and economic distribution, and to establish cultural advantages in countless worlds, to form a de facto suzerain country, with silver as the carrier, and a set of 'rules' from the heavens. The Harvest of Myriad Realms is more efficient without bloodshed, and the key is sustainable development, and I think other places are also very happy."

"This method is much better than murder and robbery."

Yes, Tang Guo's choice can almost be said to be a 'win-win'.

Because, he is not just simply plundering, but also brings new opportunities while plundering resources.

Imagine that on the earth, a super civilization suddenly came.

He will plunder your materials and labor through irresistible financial means, but he will also provide you with opportunities and channels to contact other civilized worlds outside, but you usually cannot get those materials.

For example, the mineral deposits below [-] kilometers underground can never be extracted with the power of the people on earth.

At this time, will the people on earth be happy or afraid?Is this good or bad?

Undoubtedly, this is a great benefit, because it will obtain unimaginably powerful technical support, and directly become a part of the interstellar civilization in one step.

It's just some resources that even the people on earth can't mine. If you give them, you will give them.

Tang Guo played such a role, and this is the information collected on the terminal.

Hard to say good or bad, take what you want.

"Then, Luofu Mountain..." Shen Shuibi frowned and asked.

If it is really what Li Qi said, what happened to Luofu Mountain?Isn't it stolen?

"So, I think there should be something strange about the things behind Luofu Mountain. I have always thought that the things behind Luofu Mountain should not be simple. Now that I come to Chang'an to see it, this feeling is even more serious. But these things are beyond our control. The decision-making level is beyond our reach, so we keep the problem in our hearts, and we will find the answer when we have the opportunity, and we still have to find a solution now." Li Qi said.

He put a piece of small fish into his mouth, the fish was soft and tender without spines, and tasted delicious, really good.

"Is that so...then you said and joined the plundering trend...?" Shen Shuibi tilted her head.

"Well, of course I have been thinking about your matter. According to the information I have collected in the terminal these days, if you recover to the fifth rank, you should be able to participate in many things outside the domain, such as this, you see." Li Qi waved out his terminal, and there was a piece of news on it.

The title of the news is: "Report on Accelerating the Development of Resources in the East China Sea Occupied Area"

"The Tang Kingdom is fighting against the East China Sea, and has won one after another. Outside the territory, it has also acquired a star field where the East China Sea was originally located, which is Canglong Osu."

Canglong is one of the four phases of the sky.

Now it looks... as if the tail is broken.

"The place of Canglong Osuke has just been occupied, and a large number of people are needed to develop it. After you recover from your injuries, you will be a fifth-rank. No matter how you say it, you can be regarded as a high-rank and powerful person. If you participate in it, you will definitely have a place." Li Qi said.

Shen Shuibi was a little puzzled: "But, according to what you said, the Tang Dynasty is very cautious in resource management and control, and it may be difficult to make profits from it?"

"Of course I don't want you to go now. How can the development of a piece of land be completed in two or three years?" Li Qize patted his chest: "Isn't there me?"

"As you said before, Shui Bi, there are not a few sons of nobles in the imperial academy. Although in the Tang Dynasty, nobles can't get much benefit, but because of their ability, there are still many channels." Li Qi said.

At least according to the current situation, Tang Guo is fair.

What is fairness?Fairness is, how much you do, how much you take.

No one will take advantage of it, no one will take away what you deserve, this is fairness.

Fairness has never been equal. Is it possible for a mortal who is not of the highest rank to be equal to a fifth-rank master?

If it is really equal, it would be too unfair.

Since Shen Shuibi can recover to rank five, if she has the corresponding channel, she should also be able to obtain the status she deserves as rank five and join in the expansion of the newly occupied area.

Coupled with some operations, it is not impossible for the fox to pretend to be the tiger to occupy a place outside the territory with the help of the power of the Tang state.

"Then, we can borrow chickens to lay eggs. It is impossible for us to directly steal and occupy Tang's resources. We will definitely be discovered, but there are not only Tang's resources outside the territory, but also the fifth-rank status given to you by Tang, as well as me. There are a lot of articles that can be done on some things in the unowned world."

"You don't need to do business with people from the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty is very powerful. Using his power and my diplomatic immunity, I think this plan is the most reliable right now."

"Of course, this is just a plan. During the period when you are going to heal your injuries, I will go to Taixue to do some research, and then carefully make a plan and list the feasibility. After it is confirmed that it is feasible, we will try this plan. "

"If the feasibility is approved, then we will do this, if not, then we will find other ways." Li Qi put away the terminal and nodded to Shen Shuibi.

"That is to say... we use Tang's power to establish our own power outside the territory, and then use this power to make money?" Shen Shuibi turned his head and understood Li Qi's meaning.

"It's almost the same situation, but the implementation should still need to be considered. At the very least, we need to look at the situation of Taixue first." Li Qi nodded.

As he spoke, he twirled a piece of pastry that he bought as a gift with his hands, and fed it to Shen Shuibi's lips.

Shen Shuibi frowned, while meditating, instinctively began to bite the pastry.

But because she was easily distracted when she was thinking, she bit Li Qi while eating.

Fortunately, Li Qi is also an eighth-rank, his body is tough, just take a bite, there is no problem.

"Ah..." But Shen Shuibi was a little embarrassed, and quickly licked the bite marks on her fingers: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Li Qi pulled his finger out of his mouth nonchalantly.

Actually it's a big deal.

The touch of fingers touching tongue...

It's broken, Dao's heart is confused, and he can't continue to think about the next plan!
"Then Li Qi, what are you going to do next?" After Shen Shuibi realized it, she began to ask Li Qi.

Originally, Li Qi had prepared a speech.

It's a pity that I am confused now, and I don't know where to start for a while.

He coughed dryly: "Ahem, the most urgent thing is your injury. This is why I came to Tang Country. I came here yesterday to rest for a day. Today we will go and do the scheduled treatment."

"Well, let's go after dinner!" With the specific arrangement, Shen Shuibi stopped talking and began to concentrate on destroying the breakfast in front of her.

Only Li Qi was left to meditate with his eyes closed.

He has the will to face the collapse of Mount Tai without changing his face, and he can even directly resist the erosion of the Zen wisdom monk's evil thoughts.

But just the person in front of him licked it, but it was more terrifying than any evil thoughts.

Damn, this rabbit is bad because of this, it's very attractive but he doesn't know it.

Just like a female student wearing gym shorts in gymnastics class, the boys on the side of the road are all finished, and she still has to go up and ask worriedly, why are you bending over, classmate, are you okay?
Forget it, eat!
　Looking for a monthly pass, it will be [-] soon, wouldn’t it be better to add [-]?
