Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I seized the throne of Ying Zheng's father

"Um... Young Master... my court... has no money, right?"

Fusu said as if it was a matter of course: "I don't have money now, but I will have money in the future. What I am spending is the money of the future!"

“Future money?”

The officials were puzzled...

Fusu smiled slightly: "Everyone might as well think about it, why can this national debt be sold for money?"

"Did I force the noble families to buy it?"

"Isn't it?"

“Then why are they willing to buy government bonds?”

The officials began to think along with Fusu's words...

"It's because the noble families think that Daqin can make this money in the future! Because they understand that Daqin's treasury will be full after the autumn harvest this year. With the court's endorsement, they don't have to worry about defaulting on their debts, so they are willing to lend money. But everyone should understand that this money is not given by them, but borrowed by the court! This money is the court's future money!"

"And of course, what does it have to do with them if I spend the money of the future? I am just moving the money of next year to spend this year."

Fusu explained righteously: "In fact, I don't owe them anything. Instead, they owe the court a great favor!"

"Originally, the world had a good harvest, and the grain they hoarded would cause them to suffer a huge loss. Now the court has purchased the grain from them, allowing them to not only avoid losses but also make a small profit. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I have such good intentions, I hope they can understand the court's good intentions."

After Fusu finished speaking, the entire Xianyang Palace fell into silence...

Everyone was silent...

Good intentions?

Quite gracious?

I rub!

Is this the truth of the matter?

All the officials looked at each other in surprise and suddenly realized!

That's it!

......

Looking at the reactions of the officials, Fusu also smiled.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with what I just said. The court is indeed using money from the future.

But there is a part of me that I didn't say...

Among all these links, the only thing I haven’t explained is... the time cost!

Time is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it exists in reality.

Many people often ignore the cost of time. For many people, time seems to be worthless, but in fact, time is the most precious thing! Especially in the high-speed development period of the country, the currency continues to depreciate. It seems that the interest rate you give is very high, but in fact, this interest rate does not even meet the basic standard of anti-inflation!

A year later, the grain harvest was good, and the grain output of the entire Daqin more than doubled. Every household had twice as much grain as last year! In this case, it was equivalent to doubling the disposable income of the people across the country!

Ordinary people don’t have much savings, most of them only have enough for a year’s food. This means that everyone’s assets have doubled in an instant!

But the wealthy families could not do that. The most they could do was to use the curved plow and waterwheel to double their annual income, but the wealth accumulated over decades or even hundreds of years could not be doubled.

As one thing grows while the other shrinks, wealth shrinks invisibly...

Wealth is relative, not absolute. For example, when everyone in the world has 10,000 yuan, and you have 100,000 yuan, then you are extremely wealthy, and your life and your mind will be greatly satisfied. Similarly, when everyone in the world has 10 million yuan, and you have 1 million yuan, it seems that your assets have increased tenfold, but you are still a pauper, you cannot keep up with the consumption of other people in the world, and your sense of happiness will also decrease rapidly.

In previous lives, many people of the older generation would say that children of the new era are very happy. They don’t have to worry about food and drink and only need to study hard. They are often depressed by such happiness, but is this really the case?

They ignored the context of the times.

They did not have the economic conditions in their time, but everyone did not have the conditions at that time. If you suffered, everyone suffered. In comparison, it seems that it is not so bad. Even if some families have slightly better conditions, their children do not have too much pressure. At most, they just need to support the family. Everyone firmly believes that as long as they work hard, they can catch up and live the good life they expect.
