Destiny Only Han

Xiang County, Xuwen County.

In the darkness before dawn, the bright moon has faded, and the stars are dimmed. Only the torches above the ground grow into dragons, bringing some light to this dark world.

Liu Ying stood on a reef by the sea, quietly waiting for the sun to rise amid the roaring waves and the whistling sea breeze.

A moment later, when the sleepy Zhang Buyi also climbed up the rock, Liu Ying waved her hand, and the people around her immediately extinguished the torches.

The light is gone, and the world returns to darkness.

Zhang Buyi rubbed his eyes and glared at Liu Ying in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers. His heart was full of resentment.

Don't sleep at night, run out to watch the sunrise?

Watch the sunrise just watch the sunrise, why do you have to bring him with you?

ill!

Get cure!

After all, Xiao He's sword of Damocles is hanging over his head. Don't seize the future market by then, and let yourself die without a place to die...

As the famous saying goes, without the rule of force of the East India Company, the factories in Manchester would have stopped in the first place, and it would have been impossible to start them up again, even with the power of steam.

"I'm sure I'm Sanbei..." Zhang Buyi curled his lips, and then he leaned over and asked, "Why do you want those people? I despised those guys for being stupid before, and asked them to take care of Zhuangzi in Liu County. "

After all, what the British need is only a raw material production base and a commodity sales market.

Under the two magic weapons of the army and tariffs, the hand-spun cotton industry in the Indian subcontinent has almost disappeared!
Therefore, what Liu Ying is worried about is that if the Han country becomes the dumping ground for Asan homespun products, will there be an industrial revolution led by the cotton textile industry in Asan's family?

In a society with normal wealth distribution, a higher per capita output value means stronger per capita consumption power, and huge consumption power will give birth to new markets and new jobs.

Therefore, if Ah San's cotton cloth is allowed to be dumped wantonly, these small workshops can just achieve industrial upgrading.

'Ancient India' after all, needs to be given some respect.

Europe, mainly the United Kingdom, has suddenly changed from a cotton cloth importer to a cotton cloth exporter. Therefore, India, which has brought them endless benefits in the past, has become the biggest competitor!

The price of [-] yuan per piece of Asan cotton cloth happened to be stuck in the finished product price of those manual workshops that do not rely on machines, but rely solely on hand-woven cotton cloth.

Therefore, this is the point where Liu Ying is particularly vigilant.

Last night, at the guild hall opened by Shangxiantang in Panyu Port, someone sent Kuiye to deliver a seemingly inconspicuous piece of news to him, but it actually deserves to be taken seriously.

Everything is thriving!

Liu Ying tilted her head and said nothing, just smiled mysteriously.

The crux of the problem is that these cotton cloths are not produced in the Han Dynasty, but are out-and-out foreign objects.

Body poison.

As the sun gradually moved away from the seaside, the dazzling light sprinkled unreservedly on the calm and vast sea, and the beach appeared empty and lonely due to the early clearance. Liu Ying closed her eyes, feeling the dazzling and cold sunshine , all troubles and unhappiness disappeared without a trace at this moment.

After all, in tropical areas, the temperature is high, and people don't need to eat too much food, it is enough to maintain body temperature and daily consumption, so the labor cost is much lower than that of the Han people.

So in many commercial ports in Europe, such as Amsterdam, Genoa, Venice, London and other commercial cities, crew members, merchants, cavalry and guards wearing Indian cotton can be seen everywhere.

Liu Ying glanced at it briefly, but he didn't know how to taste it, so he consulted several experienced weavers overnight and came to a conclusion.

Nanyang merchants who entered Hong Kong for trading sold two large bales of cotton cloth at the market!

In the worst case, follow the example of the British and use the muskets of the big man to open up the market for the cotton cloth of the big man... The corners of Liu Ying's mouth slightly raised, and when facing the rising sun, she slowly raised her head.

After all, what Xiao He is idling is those nobles who have integrated production and sales. There are no restrictions on traders who simply buy and sell, and do not engage in production, especially merchants who traffic goods from overseas into Han, they only collect business taxes, and don't care about the rest!
Therefore, those old Korean people are the best 'catfish'!
Note 1: According to the price research in Juyan area in "Juyan Han Bamboo", the price of linen ranges from 120 yuan to [-] yuan per piece.

It's just that this kind of life was imagined by Xiao He and the sages of the Huang-Lao School. No one has ever asked whether the people like this kind of poverty and misery!

Unemployed people, he will come to the bottom!
Well, the low cost of Asan cotton cloth is not mainly because of technology, but because they are more introverted than the Han people today.

As for Liu Ying's 24-hour textile factories that use steam engines and calcium carbide lamps for lighting, the cost price of cotton cloth is only about [-] yuan, and the impact is even smaller.

Well, this is mainly used to limit honors and Liu Ying, small workshop owners and ordinary people are not restricted, and they can sell at whatever price they want.

The reason is very simple, no break no stand!

The higher the demand, the higher the price.

From cotton planting, to picking, to weaving, the whole production process saves a little bit, and the cost price is far lower than that of the handicraft workshops in Han Dynasty.

As for the owners of these handicraft workshops not upgrading their industries, the root cause lies in Liu Ying...

The quality is acceptable, not very good, but not too bad. If the price is really what those Nanyang merchants said, 1 yuan per horse, there will be a lot of market. (Note [-])

In order to become the exclusive agent of Asan Cotton Cloth and earn the maximum profit, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom often fought...

It's all the economic policies he instilled in Xiao He, together with other changes, that made today's Han Kingdom change from a small government of 'doing nothing' to a big government of 'doing nothing' ahead of schedule.

The sun is rising!

After all, Ah San has been a big country in the cotton textile industry since ancient times!
Well, the Indian subcontinent is the origin of Asian cotton. In 1929, three pieces of cotton cloth were found in what is now Pakistan. According to research, they are relics from 3 BC.

So Liu Ying looked at Zhang Buyi, and asked softly, "I remember when my teacher kicked you out, he gave you [-] old Korean households as your guests."

"What is sweeping out? That's called standing at the top of the door. If you can't speak, you don't have to!" Zhang Buyi put his hands on his hips, showing displeasure, but he looked a bit bitch.

Historically, Sange’s cotton cloth was first sold to the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia through Arab merchants. After the rise of the Huskies and the huge tolls charged for land trade, the cotton cloth was shipped by sea by the Dutch and British East India Companies.

After all, Xiao He has seen a lot about price wars, crowding out rivals, and sharply increasing prices after monopolizing the market, so he denounced this phenomenon, accusing the nobles of having already retired from the country and still competing for profits with the people, Do you want to be shameless?
Therefore, for Xiao He, even if the formulation of the policy is a bit stupid and may offend some people, he must enforce it!
The reason why everyone is willing to abide by the price limit order is that everyone has no hatred for money, and when they can make money in the Buddhist family, no one is willing to go out of their way.

Although he also earns more, but history has been proved by practice, the handicraft workshop is a dead end, and only large-scale industrial production is the future!
Xiao He’s ideas are still the same as Huang Lao’s thinking about the small-scale peasant economy, chickens and dogs hear about each other, rice fields are connected, men have farming and women have weaving, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has food to eat, and has everything except no money ...

Of course, before the industry upgrades, the mill owners will definitely go bankrupt, and the textile workers attached to the mill owners will also experience several waves of unemployment!
But this is not important, just like the popular song: Seeing success or failure, life is heroic, just start all over again!
As for the water conservancy and textile workshops opened by nobles, because they use a large number of machines to replace manpower, the cost price of cotton cloth is about 70 yuan per piece, and they will also be affected by Asan cotton cloth... But there should be no bankruptcy or unemployment Phenomenon.

That is to not only let this matter go, on the contrary, but also to fuel the flames, so that Asan cotton cloth enters the Han country market on a large scale!

Liu Ying waved her hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let me use those people, and the benefits will be [-]% by then!"

But Liu Ying has been very dissatisfied with this.

It's just that another thought came to him at this moment, like the shadow behind him, cold and dark.

When Liu Ying's clothes fluttered and she was intoxicated in her literary style, a golden border slowly appeared in the endless sea in the distance.

In other words, this is the Indian cotton cloth produced by Asan's family.

For example, there is a limited price order for cotton cloth, and the price of each piece should not be lower than 110 yuan.

Therefore, Liu Ying has always wanted to kill those small manual workshops that do not want to make progress, and replace labor with machines.

Therefore, just as the Chinese raise silkworms, reel silk, and weave silk, Ah San is also good at growing cotton and weaving cotton cloth.

After all, the cost of large-scale industrial production is lower and the efficiency is higher, which means that the per capita output value is higher.

At that time, many European nobles, wealthy businessmen and other elites had a strong interest in the cotton products produced by Ah San. When they decorated these cotton cloths painted with mythical figures and flower patterns in their homes, the cotton textiles from overseas suddenly became popular. It has become a fashion symbol of the elite.

But all this took a shocking turn with the advent of the Jenny machine.

The name of the place of origin is tricky, but the geographical location is clear.

Considering that the Juyan area is located on the border, and many commodities need to be sold over long distances, it is normal for the price of cloth to be [-] to [-] percent higher than that of the mainland, or even double it.

Therefore, the price of Ah San's medium-quality cotton cloth is [-] yuan, which is roughly the same as the price of the cheapest linen.

ps: In order to write this chapter, I re-read "Empire" and "A Brief History of World Economy", and I have time to post some stories about the British textile industry as Easter egg chapters.

After all, there is no end to learning, um, pretending to be a talker...

I forgot to type the order of the chapters, Zhuo...
