Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 125 New Deal

Gan Luo didn't answer the question, stretched out his little hand to King Qin, and said, "Your Majesty, give me a coin, a copper coin."

The always shrewd King Qin was confused by Gan Luo's actions, and asked in amazement, "What do you want copper coins for? You want to buy fun toys, and one copper coin is not enough."

Don't say King Qin is confused, everyone present is not confused, even Wei Liao, who is rarely confused, is a little confused, looking at Gan Luo curiously.

Gan Luo pursed his lips and said angrily, "My lord, you always treat me like a boy, so you can't treat me like an adult. The reason why I asked you for a copper coin is to give you an example, so you can understand where you are wrong. gone."

These words were so surprising that even Wei Liao, who was always prudent, let out a cry of surprise.

Qin Wang smiled and said: "Okay, what kind of analogy do you make?" Touching the body, he was a little embarrassed, and said: "I don't have any money on me, so I can replace it with other things, okay?" It is the first time in my life to discuss with others like this.

"Money is the most vivid and direct, because I'm talking about profit!" Gan Luo disagreed with King Qin's proposal.

The King of Qin was about to ask Zhao Gao to take the copper coins. Li Si took out the copper coins from his bosom and handed them to Gan Luo. In Wang Ao's hand, finally put the inkstone in Wei Liao's hand.They didn't know what Gan Luo was up to. Seeing Gan Luo's serious look, they couldn't refuse, so they had to take it.

Gan Luo tilted his neck and looked at the four of them, and said, "You guys are pretty steady, but you don't look like a businessman."

Li Si reprimanded lightly: "Gan Luo, don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty is the Emperor of Daqin, how could he be in business."

Gan Luo made a funny face at Li Si, stuck out his tongue, and said, "Your Majesty, suppose you are all in business, and your Majesty sells pens..." Li Si hurriedly interrupted Gan Luo, saying, "Gan Luo, you You are too courageous." King Qin shook his hand and said, "Let him continue."

Gan Luo continued: "Lord Li sells paper, Lord Wang sells ink, and Mr. Liaozi sells Shijun. For convenience, let's say they all sell one copper coin. I am here to buy pens. Your Majesty, I I'll give you the money, and you'll give me the pen." He gave the copper coin to King Qin, and brought the pen over.

"Your Majesty has money, so you need to buy things, let's say you want to buy paper." Gan Luo pointed at Li Si, and said, "Your Majesty, you should buy paper from Mr. Li, don't stand still."

Although the King of Qin didn't understand Gan Luo's intentions, he still said as he said, "Master Li, is there any paper for sale?"

Li Sifu knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, you are a disgraceful minister."

King Qin's face was serious, and he said, "You are shopkeeper Li now, do you have any paper to sell?"

"Yes, yes." Li Si hurriedly handed the paper to King Qin, but he didn't want the money either.

King Qin took the paper and said, "Master Li, it's your money."

Li Si hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you are an evil minister, how dare I ask for your money."

"You don't want it, the widow has become a profiteer who bullies the market. Take it." Qin Wang couldn't help but put the copper money in Li Si's hand.

"Lord Li, what are you doing in a daze, go buy ink from Lord Wang." Gan Luo urged: "Don't dawdle, it's just a metaphor, I'm so scared that I almost lost my soul."

Li Si responded and bought ink back from Wang Ao.Gan Luo then asked Wang Ao to buy inkstone from Wei Liao, and finally Gan Luo asked King Qin, "Excuse me, my lord, how many copper coins do you have now?"

This is a very simple question. For the shrewd King Qin, there will be no problem. However, it is this simple question that confuses King Qin. He opened and closed his mouth, thought for a while, and said: "Li Si, you are good at calculating, how many copper coins do you think?"

Li Si didn't want to answer this kind of children's merry-go-round at all, but he was forced by the King of Qin and had to answer, saying: "Back to the king, it should be one copper coin, no, no, no, it should be four copper coins. No, no, it should be It's... Your Majesty, I'm ignorant, I don't know whether it should be counted as one copper coin or four copper coins."

It is impossible to buy the Four Treasures of the Study Room for one copper coin, but for four copper coins, Wei Liao only has one copper coin in his hand, Li Si is confused even though he is good at calculation.

"This question seems simple and makes sense. In fact, it's hard for people to tell how much it is." Qin Wang nodded, understanding Li Si's confusion, and said: "Mr. How many copper coins?"

Wang Ao didn't answer right away, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, if you only talk about the visible money, there should be only one copper coin. If you count the invisible money, it should be a lot of money."

"Mr. Liaozi, how many copper coins do you think?" The three of them were all confused, and King Qin placed high hopes on Wei Liao.

However, Wei Liao was also a little puzzled, and said: "The only thing you can see is one copper coin, but one copper coin cannot buy the Four Treasures of Quanwen Fang, at least four copper coins."

King Qin, Wei Liao, Li Si, and Wang Ao are extremely smart people, but they were confused by the children's affairs. Qin Wang warned Li Si: "Li Si, don't think that children's affairs are useless. Children's affairs are also important. reason!"

Li Si repeatedly pleaded guilty.

"Gan Luo, tell me, how much is it?" King Qin asked.

Gan Luo blinked his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know how much it is. I only know that it is a lot of money. Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou's proposal to the King is not just about building a road, but about building a road. Your Majesty offered a wonderful strategy of money making money."

"Money begets money?" King Qin's eyes lit up and he asked, "How do you say that?"

Gan Luo straightened his chest, and said, "Your Majesty, you have also seen that you can buy the Four Treasures of the Full-text Library with just such a copper coin. My example is too simple. If it is not to buy the Four Treasures of the Study Room, but to buy and sell in the real market, Will there be food, clothing, use, and all kinds of items necessary for daily life. As long as one person buys an item with a copper coin, the next person will buy something again, and the business will continue. More and more, more and more money, this is not money making money, what else can it be?"

His words have come into contact with a magnification factor in economics, that is, investing a sum of money, through a series of transactions, the effect of this sum of money will be more and more, such as investing one billion, and finally output billions Even tens of billions, or more, the principle mentioned in the past few years is that domestic demand is used to stimulate the development of China's economy, and the state invests a lot of money to stimulate economic growth.

Gan Luo's words are already a simple economic thought, but limited by the times, it is impossible for him to put forward a series of theories and make a comprehensive elaboration like modern economists.Even so, his realization of this is already a remarkable achievement, a genius.

After Zhou Chong learned of this, he slapped the table heavily, and the always civilized Zhou Chong was so excited that he swears: "Damn it, if the goddamn gods hadn't called Gan Luo back to the Heavenly Palace, maybe economics would have been so popular in the Qin Dynasty. It just appeared, Adam Smith could not have created the subject of economics. Damn gods, recalling Gan Luo to Tiangong changed the direction of Chinese history! This is a crime, a crime committed by gods!"
