That night, Li Lizhi and Li Shimin talked about many things. They only ended when Li Lizhi started to doze off!
The next morning, Li Shiming did not hesitate to knock on the side door of Li Yi's house. To his surprise, Li Yi had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for everyone!
"Haha, the immortal child is indeed a god. It seems that he was right. I will come this morning!”
Li Shi Min didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down and started drinking the porridge with his bowl and chopsticks. The fragrant millet porridge was delicious early in the morning. He followed Li Yi's example and picked up a piece of sweet bamboo shoot. It was Li Yi's favorite sweet bamboo shoot. It was covered with golden butter and floated on the millet porridge. It was appetizing.
"Good!"
Li Shimin took a bite and his eyes lit up. He quickly called Zhangsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, and the others to eat as well. In the end, the packet of sweet bamboo shoots was finished in a short time. Li Yi had no choice but to call for someone to open a few more packets and then pick up a piece of fermented bean curd for himself!
In the end, Li Shiming also copied Li Shiming and made himself a piece of fermented bean curd. Seeing Li Yi eat it in small bites, he felt a little disdainful and directly ate it in big mouthfuls. Then, his expression changed and he hurriedly gulped down a few mouthfuls of porridge!
"Hahahaha…This is fermented bean curd. It tastes the best when paired with porridge. Don't be greedy!”
Li Yi laughed out loud. Fang Xuanling and the others laughed as well. Then, they imitated Li Yi and took small bites of the porridge. It was indeed a different taste!
As for the group of generals, Cheng Yaojin had his eyes set on Big Pork Bun the moment he entered the room. He was hugging the meat bun and eating it in big mouthfuls.
"Delicious. This steamed bun is delicious in the world. There's actually beef inside. It's very beautiful, very beautiful!”
When Yuchi Gong heard this, he hurriedly reached out to grab one as well and began to eat it in big mouthfuls. The scalding butter was so hot that this brawny man, who was still unafraid of being pierced through the chest by an arrow, jumped up and down.
"This beef…"
Fang Xuanling also took a bite. He could smell the fragrance of the beef and frowned. Li Yi rolled his eyes at them."Don't worry, the beef brought from the Upper Realm has land in the Upper Realm that specializes in raising beef cattle and cows. One of them is killed for meat, and the other is milked every day!”
"Such a waste?"
Du Ruhui frowned. In the Great Tang, oxen were the most important strategic resource. Even plowing the land and pulling carts depended on oxen, so if someone killed oxen, it was more serious than killing people.
"Waste? In the Upper Realm, many machines have already replaced human labor. Only a very small number of people use cattle to plow the land and pull carts. Do you know that there's an item in the Upper Realm called the " plow machine " that can plow ten thousand mu of fertile land every day?”
"Ten thousand mu a day!"
Cheng Yaojin was so scared that the bun in his mouth almost fell out. Li Shiming also almost threw the bun in his hand. He was so scared by Li Yi's words that he shivered and let go of the scalding butter. The internal supervisor at the side quickly took out a silk cloth to wipe Li Shiming's hands.
" It's not unusual to cultivate ten thousand mu a day. In the Upper Realm, most people don't farm anymore because there's no need for so many farmers. Most of them work in other industries. It's actually a mistake for the Great Tang to value agriculture over commerce. It's true that agriculture should be valued, but it can't be underestimated. Only when commerce flows can things in various places be connected to each other. Only in this way can money flow. Only when money flows can the country become rich!”
Li Yi sighed. The most prosperous dynasties were basically the dynasties with the most developed businesses. If the businesses were not developed, then the dynasty would not be rich.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"Come, let's do it and you'll know!”
Li Yi took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket. Fang Xuanling smiled and put them into his pocket,""It's a good thing, a good thing. Not only can we eat delicious food on this trip, but we can also bring money home. I wonder if we can do this every day in the future?”
"Hahahaha…"
Everyone laughed. Li Yi rolled his eyes at them, then took back the copper coins and gave them to everyone. He poured a bowl of porridge and said to Li Shiming,"Come, my bowl of porridge represents that I'm a farmer. Today, I've produced grain and came to exchange it for money from the grain merchant, the Saint!”
After saying that, he handed the porridge to Li Shiming. Li Shiming understood immediately."I know that Langjun is a farmer. You came to sell grain at my place. I collected the grain and gave you money!”
After saying that, he took the porridge and handed Li Yi three copper coins.
"At this point, this money has appeared. Everyone, please take a look. I'm a farmer. It's the new year today.”
After saying that, he handed the copper coin to Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin was smart and broke open a bun and poured the meat into Li Yi's bowl."There's meat!"
Then, he would receive a copper coin!
"Everyone, please take a look. Three copper coins. The Saint has obtained food, and I have obtained meat. Then, we can continue to buy some clothes!”
Li Yi handed a copper coin to Fang Xuanling, who took it and handed a handkerchief to Li Yi. Li Yi then handed it to Du Ruhui."Buy some salt!"
Du Ruhui looked around on the table and directly handed the fermented bean curd to Li Yi!
"So far, I've spent all three copper coins, but I have a few more things on me. This is just the beginning. Lord Cheng wants to eat food!”
Cheng Yaojin handed Li Shimin a copper coin, and Li Shimin handed Cheng Yaojin a bowl of porridge. Li Yi continued,""The clothes seller wants to eat meat!"
Fang Xuanling handed the money to Cheng Yaojin, who took it and gave him a bun. The process repeated itself. The money didn't decrease, but everyone got more and more things.
"Everyone, please take a look. The amount of money hasn't changed, but the things we get are getting more and more. Agriculture is the foundation, but business can't be underestimated!”
The group of people fell into deep thought, especially Fang Xuanling. When the economy started to move, there would be demand, and this demand would drive productivity. When productivity increased, it meant that there would be hoarding. When there was too much hoarding, it would naturally have to be sold. Then, there would be a market, and commerce would appear!
"I see!"
Li Yi's demonstration was actually very clear. However, Li Yi took two copper coins from each of the lords in the end."And for every trade, the country can take two cities from it. This is the business tax. When business develops to a certain extent, you will know that the agricultural tax…hehe, it is just a drop in the ocean!”
Everyone's eyes widened. They had been successfully led astray by Li Yi!
Weren't they here to ask about food?
What, were you fooled by Li Yi and decided to promote your business?
