- Just like in 2020, when the epidemic was at its worst, it was the consumer industry that supported the economic foundation of the entire country.
?Then it was the same in ancient times.
Without strong domestic demand, only relying on foreign trade to do business, without good circulation, and releasing various inflationary pressures, no matter how good this country's trade is, it will be over.
I¡¯m not talking about the Southern Song Dynasty.
It¡¯s me, Daming.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, more than 80% of the world's silver flowed into the Ming Dynasty.
But those wealthy locals only knew how to bury the silver and did not circulate it at all, so the people of Ming Dynasty still couldn't make money, and the goods still couldn't be sold domestically.
Coupled with the continuous natural disasters, the imperial court, which was supposed to collect a large amount of commercial taxes, refused to collect any money. In the end, not only did it have no money to deal with natural disasters, but it also had no way to deal with internal peasant uprisings and external Jurchen invasions. Isn¡¯t it cool for you? Liang, is there any heavenly principle?
This was good in the Southern Song Dynasty. For all maritime trade business, taxes began to be collected as soon as they arrived at the shore, and taxes were collected as soon as they left the port.
In this way, they can obtain a large amount of real income to subsidize the finances and reduce various burdens on farmers.
Of course, the people in the Southern Song Dynasty also had a hard time, but they were still better than me in the Ming Dynasty!
?? Okay, no more gossip.
Because of various wars this year, people¡¯s consumption has been suppressed a lot.
Especially Jiangnan and overseas trade, the largest commodity dumping ground, have been hit hardest.
The important reason why this year¡¯s maritime trade tax can be collected in half is that Guangdong and Guangxi have not been attacked by any attack, and the Southern Fleet still has two-thirds of its strength, which is enough to protect the normal conduct of trade.
This is why when the war situation in Jiangnan was so urgent, the Southern Navy did not send more ships to support.
After all, all overseas trade in the north was destroyed, including Shiwei, Baekje, Japan and other places.
If the South does not continue to conduct maritime trade business properly, I really don¡¯t know how it will end.
It¡¯s not just as simple as the court not receiving taxes.
¡° If the goods of so many workshops cannot be sold, then they will have no choice but to go bankrupt, and a large number of workers will lose their jobs. Without a place to live, their families will also suffer.
This will lead to large-scale flight and also create a lot of instability.
Therefore, no matter how hard the war between the south of the Yangtze River and the north is, the southern navy can only not participate much and send a large number of fleets to patrol and escort in the South China Sea to combat rampant pirates and protect the conduct of legitimate sea trade.
??????????????????? Thanks to the great efforts of the Southern Navy, the merchants of Nanyang and Dakang were able to ensure normal trade, and everyone got the benefits they deserved.
The business focus of Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion in the past two years must be Dakang domestically.
A little further away are the countries and tribes on the land.
There are very few products that are actually sold overseas, whether it is soap or sugar, these two flagship products.
There is not enough supply in Dakang, let alone abroad.
? But this year is a good opportunity.
It can¡¯t be said that it is very good, but because there is a war in the south of the Yangtze River, the northwest, the north, and the northeast are all at war, and even Nanzhao also got involved.
Therefore, the remaining area was not enough to consume so many products. At the instigation of her younger brother, Princess Yu simply took the waterway, all the way south from the two lakes, and sold goods to the merchants at the Zhuhai Port in Guangdong, asking them to go to the Nanyang Zone. Sale.
??Businessmen are very knowledgeable about goods.
They are already very familiar with luxury goods such as soap, sugar, and White Rabbit toffees. Many of them use them on weekdays. However, because the supply is too small, there is no chance to sell them outside.
In fact, although the indigenous people of those island countries are not civilized enough, they are rich!
Gold, silver, jade, various precious trees, various spices, etc., aren¡¯t they all money?
Doing business with them, as long as you give them what they want, you will make a lot of money!
Such as soap, sugar, White Rabbit toffee, floral essential oils, etc., they are all magical treasures!
There are also those red-haired ghost guys from the West who also like these treasures very much. They often pay with large pieces of silver and gold, which is the most refreshing.
Everything is good except that they do not allow merchants from Dakang to go out of the Strait of Malacca.
Liu Mingqi¡¯s uncle and the others really wanted to go outside the Strait of Malacca, but what about those red people?The bone china made in China has been polished through continuous experiments by the masters, and now it has become famous around the capital.
Liu Mingqi deeply understands the benefits of marketing.
He immediately donated the bone china to the emperor, and then sent some to the residences of the princes and uncles, as well as the prime minister, the six ministers, etc.
After this, he began to place these bone china in his shop.
It so happened that most of the time there was nothing in the Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion store. As soon as they entered the bone china, many people looked at it curiously.
The biggest feature of bone china is that it is crystal clear. Although it is not as good as our thin body porcelain in terms of thickness and fineness, there are many other people's products.
It may not take a month to produce a set of thin-body porcelain, but bone china is different, which can be mass-produced.
What is often displayed in the store is a set of bowls, plates, plates, spoons, basins, cups, etc., which look extremely coordinated and beautiful.
The key is that the price of this bone china is very cheap.
The same set of thin-bodied porcelain may cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.
But an ordinary set of bone china only costs three to five hundred taels.
If you want more, it¡¯s even cheaper.
There are many rich people in the capital, plus officials, clans, and nobles, they all have the need to dress up for banquets.
??????????????????????? If your family is having a banquet with guests, it will be very impressive if you do this.
Stop talking about them.
Even the better restaurants and flower houses will buy thirty or fifty sets, specially for entertaining distinguished guests.
There are a lot of cheaters who go to these high-end places to spend money. As long as you make them feel it is worth it, there is no problem at all for a mere 800 taels!
Of course, there are also levels here.
The highest-end bone china has more than 200 pieces in a set, and the price can reach more than 2,000 taels.
It is divided into more than a dozen grades, and everyone can buy the bone china they like.
This seems very humane, and sales naturally increase.
¡°That is to say, the current bone china workshops in Yuzhou are not large enough and there are not enough master craftsmen, so the output cannot be increased.
But just like that, since it was officially produced in April, a full 6,000 sets have been sold, and the sales have reached three million taels of silver.
Look!
This is the importance of new technology!
¡°If they wait until the scale is expanded tenfold, and they can stably export 20,000 to 30,000 sets of bone china a month, and then sell these bone china to Japan, Java, or even the West, then they are still not allowed to treat bone china as family heirlooms? !
