Section 0995 One of the legends about bubbles
Li Shimin understood the meaning of willow wood, because he could make more money, so businessmen were willing to invest in research.
"Yes, faster ships, more efficient looms, that's the pursuit, that's the technological progress that is driven to earn more money," Yanagi said. ”
In a word, appropriately let go of some terminal technologies to the people, if you find something very special and good, you will accept it, and give a certain amount of monetary subsidies to the inventors, and the most cutting-edge things must be guarded at the top of the empire. There is also another use for the main island of Fuso, where highly polluting workshops are built. ”
Li Shimin doesn't like black sky and black water very much, he likes blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters.
"The output of Xingzhou Steel Mill has reached its limit, not that it cannot be expanded, but that it will affect the surrounding forests if it expands, and this world must be protected."
Liu Mu agrees with Li Shimin's statement.
Li Shimin asked Liu Mu again: "The stock trading department said that it could be conditionally liberalized, but the futures trading department thought it was terrible, what do you think?" ”
"Second brother, in a thousand years, there is a small country called the Netherlands in the north of the Mediterranean Sea that we currently control."
"Yes." Li Shimin nodded.
Li Shimin knew very well that it was impossible for Liu Mu to record everything that had happened in the past 1,400 years, but it was true that he had read a lot of books and had extensive knowledge, but he was not proficient.
Many things are in the memory part for some reason.
"There was already a futures market in the Netherlands, and one day someone discovered a very beautiful flower called tulips, which was so beautiful that it was loved and sought after by the aristocracy, and many speculators discovered this phenomenon and bought tulip bulbs at a high price. ”
Hearing this, Li Shimin asked: "It's like a narcissus." ”
"Yes, it's like a narcissus that sprouts from spherical roots."
"You go on."
"Then countless people participated, as did many fish and vegetable sellers, who were willing to exchange all their possessions for a tulip bulb, because they believed that someone would pay double the price for it."
Li Shimin smiled contemptuously, he could feel the stupidity under this madness.
Yanagi continued: "This madness has lasted for thirty years, and an ordinary bulb has risen to sixty-four guilders, and I can't figure out how much a guilder is worth, but it should be worth a small silver coin. ”
"It doesn't matter."
Li Shimin doesn't care how much a shield is worth a Datang coin, he only cares about this story.
Liu Mu began to speak again: "Suddenly, in just one month, the price of a bulb was speculated to 1,668 guilders, and this increase made countless people happy and crazy. ”
"When joy is sorrowful!"
"Yes, and then two days later, the price of a bulb was only 0.15 guilders, and the whole of the Netherlands went bankrupt. The state-based bankruptcy. ”
Li Shimin touched his beard and suddenly showed a smile.
Liu Mu caught Li Shimin's smile: "Second brother, do you plan to use it in Goguryeo?" ”
"Why not, let the people of Datang see the horror of speculation, Datang can just legislate to make a decision against speculative thieves and businessmen, Datang allows investment, allows anyone to come to invest, but does not allow anyone's speculation, whether it is a clan or a nobleman, to make a decision."
Li Shimin had a smile on his face, but his heart was full of fear.
What a terrible thing it is to have prices plummeting 10,000 times in two days, bankrupting a country.
Yanagi lowered his head, as if thinking.
Li Shimin looked at Liu Mu for a while, and then said, "You don't approve? ”
"No, I agree, it's just that there are more terrible things in this world. I don't know much about the numismatic wars, and I didn't study economics and finance. But I know that there are three major bubbles in the world, and tulips are one of them. In addition to bubbles, there are even more terrible things, Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes. ”
"These two similarities are also different. Some people say that Ponzi schemes are the ancestors of pyramid schemes, and the pyramids are sublimation. ”
Yanagi doesn't know much about these two types, but there are countless reports in the news of later generations.
Li Shimin was stunned.
Li Shimin's understanding of the sword war is incomparably high, and this invisible horror of war makes the cold sweat behind this ruthless man who has been carrying a sword on the battlefield since he was 14 years old.
"Well, you can give it a try." Li Shimin finally said such a sentence.
Yanagi didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
The life or death of the stick has nothing to do with Liu Mu, if the people of Datang can see the horror of this economic and financial war and feel scared, it is indeed a good thing.
In fact, Li Shimin also hoped that Goguryeo could be taken without bloodshed, after all, there were millions of people there.
What's more, the population of the stick is a copy of the Central Plains in terms of appearance, culture, and system, which is a good way to increase the population of the Tang Dynasty, rather than too many foreign slaves.
Speaking of Goguryeo at this time.
Yuangai Suwen was already a little skeptical.
Yuangai Suwen said to Yuanjing Land: "It's been two years, according to the news we have gotten, the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Harmony Kingdom has been fought for almost three years, and the war at sea has been fought almost every day, and the Tang Dynasty has damaged thousands of warships and tens of thousands of transport ships. ”
The Yuan Pure Land interface said, "Tang will definitely win. ”
"Confused, how can the national strength of the Tang Dynasty consume so much and not be able to defeat the Great Harmony Kingdom. Based on my understanding of the Yamato Kingdom, if the Tang Dynasty loses so many warships, the Yamato Kingdom will increase by at least five times, do you think the Yamato Kingdom has 50,000 transport ships? ”
Only then did the Yuan Pure Land react: "Could it be that this is fake?" ”
"I don't know." Yuangai Suwen shook his head: "The damage is not a loss, it can still be used after repair." So just talking about the damage to the battleship can't be said to be suspicious, what really makes me wonder is that we seem to be trapped, all the roads by sea and land are under the control of Datang, and we can't get out. ”
It was only when he couldn't get out that Yuan Gai Suwen was really worried.
Yuan Pure Land obviously didn't think too much, he said: "But the Tang people didn't come in either, they only operated in a few docks and ports. Take the royal capital as an example, their activities are only in Tangfang. None of the Tang people have crossed the boundaries drawn by Maoshan, and they have never restricted our officials from working in the iron mines. ”
Yuan Gai Suwen pressed his hands on his head, he felt a headache, and he couldn't figure it out.
Yuan Pure Land also said: "The monthly purchase volume of the Tang people, as well as the goods shipped, made our Great Goguryeo extremely rich, and the coins in the treasury were enough to fight two wars with the Sui that year. ”
