Chapter 481 Fair Trade Because of the Army, Third Update
Yu Yongzhong said that he should look at his manpower. The government offices in Luoyang County are busy. Rich households want to rent mountains. Any mountain owned by the government can be used. rent.
They know that they are not allowed to change the land where food is grown to cotton, so they can only go up the mountain.
The rent is not high, much less than that of a tenant farm. Calculated based on the area, if it is a fruit forest, it will be more expensive, and the fruit will belong to the person who rents it.
You need to water the cotton when growing cotton, and help water the fruit trees by the way. Prune the branches that need to be pruned, and there will be a good harvest next year, and the fruits will be sold for money.
Those who paid the money went to the Luoshui River to see the windmill. The weaver girls were still performing here and practicing by the way. Later, they would teach others and earn wages.
The afternoon sun was warm, and Zhu Biao and others set up a table and sat by the river drinking tea.
"Er Dezi took people to build a greenhouse." Zhu Biao didn't see Zhu Erde and asked casually.
"Yes, Wang Yiqian and others are the most skilled in building greenhouses. We won't be able to build them in Peiping this year. A large number of craftsmen have been transferred out, and there will be ones in Sichuan."
Li Chang felt a little regretful, Further north misses a year.
Zhu Biao nodded, "How do you use the deposit we collected?"
"Your Highness, the truth is, the deposit should not be used, it can only be left. In theory, we have no payment. The qualifications cannot be used even for lending.
Once misappropriated, there will be a financial crisis and credit crisis where the deposit cannot be returned.
We will have to standardize it in the future, but this time we will create it. Let’s borrow their money to use the machine.
Clean up the river in winter and then repair the road, otherwise the money will be wasted.” Make it clear that the deposit must be kept separately and must not be misappropriated.
It is not about the money borrowed by wealthy households. The wealthy households have to pay interest on borrowing money. That kind of money can be used at will.
"That's the truth. Money is a way to make money. Unfortunately, there are restrictions in the rules." Zhu Biao said, taking a sip of tea.
"Your Highness, in fact, we can use another method. It is not a matter of controlling the loans of the rich, but it can also allow the rich to work hard.
When Luoyang's new textile equipment When it succeeds, everyone makes money, and we put it in Kaifeng Mansion.
Instead of directly cooperating with wealthy households, wealthy households can only contribute money to share dividends, and set the proportion of this dividend to Daming’s loan interest.
If you want to make more money, you need more cotton. Let them grow cotton wherever it is allowed.
< p>Of course, we can also use the money they invest to find people to grow cotton. This is called a joint-stock system.We can only do it. If the people want to organize it, the court must strictly investigate it. There are many ways in it. ."
Li Chang came up with a term, everyone gets rich together, but the rich no longer participate directly.
"Borrow other people's money to do business, and then pay dividends to them" Zhu Biao expressed his understanding.
"No, in that case if we lose money, we will also owe other people money. We earn dividends and lose them if we lose them.
It's hard to make money, but it's hard to pay compensation. Your Majesty, let me give you an example.
You start a textile business, I will invest one million shares, and then the King of Qin will plant cotton, and Your Majesty will collect the cotton cloth. The price of cotton has increased tenfold, you buy it, weave it into cloth and sell it to your majesty, and your majesty lowers the price tenfold.
His Royal Highness the King of Qin and his majesty make money. You tell me later that you lost it. I can only stare."
"Ah, then you won't stop me from spending ten times the price to buy cotton."
"What I said doesn't count. I can only buy shares and wait for dividends. I have no decision-making power.
Therefore, without perfect rules, others are not allowed to follow our methods.
They will not follow the rules. We just want to make money. Let's move around, not to trick people."
Lizhang Tan started to express his helplessness. He didn't have time to make rules, and he didn't dare to let others play like this.
Zhu Biao had a serious look on his face, "Yes, yes, the manager is right. We can do it, but we can't replace it with anyone else. Can we sell it if it is made of cotton?"
He considered To solve the problem of overproduction, cotton can be grown elsewhere without occupying grain fields.
In the end, a large amount of cotton was grown and turned into cotton cloth, who was sold to it?
"Sold to barbarians, such as Dashi people, Tianzhu people, and people from other places, Dashi people The cotton has few patterns, and it is best to make it white. We don’t need to mention flowers.
In fact, Tianzhu grows the most cotton. When we trade with them, we have to calculate the transportation cost and labor cost. < /p>
How much does it cost to ship a ship of cotton cloth, including the risk cost, how much does it cost the weaver to weave a piece of cloth, and the depreciation cost of the loom is included in the calculation?
The Tianzhu people weave it themselves. No matter how much a piece of cloth costs, as long as the sales price of our cloth is lower than the cost of weaving their own cloth, they will buy our cloth.
Then we buy cotton from them, ship it back, and process it into cloth. , resell them back.
They like to wear brightly colored clothes, so jacquard technology is very important, and their costs are higher. ”
Li Chang said that the profits brought by technical advantages. The problem is that the cost is low, so the other party has to buy it.
Zhu Xi, who was next to him, followed up and said, "It's really profitable to have technology. It's just that we sell it and buy it back. What can we buy with the extra money?"
"Your Highness, there is food locally. When the ships are brought back, the people of Ming Dynasty will be able to eat a lot of meat, raise a lot of livestock, and need feed.
When the trade scale reaches a certain level, Tianzhu will always be in a trade deficit, and a lot of resources will be used by us. Take it away.
Some of them will have ideas. If they can’t replace it, why should they grab it?
Therefore, the Ming Navy is always ready to fight. A larger ship was needed and steam engines had to be installed.
With the best soldiers and the best weapons, we can maintain the normalization of trade. ”
As the leader kept talking, he talked about war. If people can’t replace you, they will rob you.
Technical advantages cannot only be placed on how to reduce the cost of fabrics. It must be used in the military.
As soon as the other party saw the ship and weapons of the Ming Dynasty, many of his inappropriate thoughts disappeared naturally.
Zhu Biao thought for a while and asked, " What if others stop trading with us? Just like the maritime ban policy set by my father before, others will do the same. "
He thought about the issue of the maritime ban at the beginning. If it weren't for the many things in Xiaqiu Village and the letters explaining the benefits of trade, the exchanges of many things would have been cut off.
Then there would be no With the current large amount of money, grain, medicinal materials, and spices, Ming Dynasty might take another path.
"In that case, they will face the trouble of controlling smuggling, and they have no silk to use.
Their place is now called the Delhi Sultanate, which is a slave country. Our Ming Dynasty belongs to a feudal country.
One characteristic of a slave-owning country is that many people are slaves. You have a choice whether it is better to let the slaves grow cotton and grain in exchange for things, or to let them weave their own cloth.
It is said that silk fabrics appeared in Tianzhu a long time ago, but it is not important. Now they have no silk and can only buy it from Daming Dynasty. ”
Li Chang transferred the troubles encountered before the Ming Dynasty to other countries and smuggled them. Please remember to collect, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
