Destiny Only Han

Chapter 765 Liu Ying: Anti-dumping Act!

After Zhang Buyi finished speaking, Lu Zhi curled his lips invisibly.

Although her granddaughter is as beautiful as she thought, she is very satisfied, but this does not prevent her from despising Zhang Buyi's behavior of being a "soft guy" at the moment.

At this moment, she began to regret finding such a useless little boy as her son-in-law for her daughter.

In Lu Zhi's understanding, the word apology has never been used!
Apologize?

Why apologize?

Isn't it important to slap and kill those who instigate behind the scenes?

Liu's generation of herdsmen, the imperial power is supreme!
As a member of this big family, Zhang Buyi naturally does not allow others to plot!
It's just that this suggestion was put forward by Liu Ying, and Zhang Buyi accepted it, so Lu Zhi couldn't say anything more.

Well, the main reason is that I don't want to lose Liu Ying's face.

On the other side, from the corner of Liu Ying's eyes, she had a panoramic view of Lu Zhi's face, and silently wiped off her cold sweat.

This is just a normal business war behavior...

Well, for a bureaucratic capitalist like Zhang Buyi, this is the case.

Therefore, if my old mother is involved, and the business war turns into a political struggle in minutes, I don't know how many heads will be cut off, how many titles will be lost...

The important thing is that after my old lady flexes her muscles and becomes addicted, one day in the future, it will inevitably be a situation where mother and child love and kill each other...

Therefore, I can only 'grievance' and no doubt about it.

On the other side, Liu Le, who had been silent all this time, thought the same way.

I feel wronged for Zhang Buyi.

She hired several experienced tax collectors from Zhang Cang with a high salary to help manage the accounts, so she knew every big expense of the family well.

For example, last year, about [-]% of the money earned by the textile factory was given to Shangxiantang, and the other [-]% was sent to the East Palace.

The kind that counts in the tens of millions!
It's just that what was given to Liu Ying was not a "political contribution", but a dividend.

Therefore, Liu Le is not dissatisfied with this point, what she is dissatisfied with is the money allocated to Shangxiantang...

Others don't know, but she is very clear about Shangxiantang, which is obviously the power controlled by Liu Ying personally. There is no matter that Shangxiantang does not get involved in the world, openly and secretly!
Therefore, Liu Lebian pursed his lips and said: "We have given Shangxiantang so much money and raised so many people these years, and you came up with such an idea?"

Before Liu Ying could speak, Zhang Buyi squeezed Liu Le's chubby little hand and explained:
"That's not giving, it's paying."

"Well, have you ever heard the word patent? They have mastered the technology, and if we want to use their technology and their machines, we need to pay for it..."

"Ours is still a friendly price, which is much lower than other people's. This is why our textile factory is more competitive..."

"Besides, it's okay for me to apologize. After all, it's our fault, and we can not discredit the royal family."

Only then did Liu Le turn his anger into joy, and said with a smile:

"I know that my brother is the best! Well, my sister just blamed you by mistake. Wait for two days when you come to my sister's house, and my sister will cook something delicious for you!"

For a moment, not only Zhang Buyi was stunned, but even Lu Zhi looked at Liu Ying with a bit of compassion.

You are repaying kindness with revenge... Liu Ying stared, with her hands on her hips: "If you want to poison me to death, just say so!"

Well, it's not that Liu Le's cooking is unpalatable, it's mainly because she's extremely bored and has developed a lot of dark dishes over the years.

For example, Yuxiang oranges, the truth makes everyone astonished...

A moment later, when sending Liu Le and Zhang Buyi to the north gate of Weiyang Palace, Liu Ying stopped Zhang Buyi who was about to get into the carriage, and walked to a remote corner under Liu Le's beady eyes.

"Do you think they will let it go?" Liu Ying asked without thinking.

"Absolutely not." Zhang Buyi understood in seconds, and answered firmly.

"Yes, they won't." Liu Ying nodded and sighed: "But the crux of the problem is, who will they be?"

Zhang Buyi also shook his head slightly.

He has been guessing who is behind the scenes all the way, but even now he has not guessed it.

Or rather, too much.

Needless to say, Gonghou Xungui, these people have always been jealous of him.

He has a good relationship with Liu Ying, plus Liu Hou's son, the son-in-law of the country's emperor, it is no exaggeration to say that he will definitely become the prime minister of the empire in the future, with one person under ten thousand!
The important thing is that he has also been involved in many industries such as construction, textiles, and bonds. He has money and power, and he has offended many people or competitors...

Therefore, not only nobles will plot against him behind his back, but even those wealthy businessmen or big factory owners will never let go of such an opportunity to make trouble!
After all, the cake is only that big, if he eats more, others will eat less.

Why?
Liu Ying squeezed her chin and asked:
"Another way of thinking, why are they targeting you? To put it cruelly, it is not so rare for powerful people to bully men and women, but why do you come to you and hear it directly, even my father scolds you behind your back? ?”

Zhang Buyi looked embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he said full of grievances: "Why am I unlucky this time, don't you know?"

"What number do I have?" Liu Ying frowned.

Zhang Buyi sneered twice, and immediately began to count:

"I have seven textile factories in Guanzhong, one in Liuxian County, twelve in Qidi, 31 in Changsha, and 62 in total in Jingguo, Chuguo, and Kuaiji..."

"The size of each factory is about the same, and it can accommodate about [-] women working at the same time."

"Such a scale, I asked someone to make statistics in the past two years, and my textile factories accounted for less than [-]% of the market share in Han... After all, every piece of cloth sold has to be taxed. As long as you are willing to spend time, effort and money, Good stats."

Liu Ying was stunned for a moment: "It's only [-]%, is it worth it for them to resort to such means?"

Zhang Buyi kept sneering:
"Yeah, that's what I said, don't you know?"

"Last year, handmade homemade cloth trafficked from overseas accounted for more than half of the market share..."

"So, I am so miserable, who caused it?"

"Ok?"

"You are talking!"

Facing Zhang Buyi's aggressiveness, Liu Ying suddenly became angry from embarrassment: "What? I forced you to open a textile factory? With the income of my teacher and my sister's food, can't you make good clothes and good food?"

Zhang Buyi snorted coldly and said nothing.

After all, this pot mainly originated from Liu Ying's catfish project.

In order to allow domestic textile workshop owners to upgrade their equipment, he pushed Han to introduce reforms related to people's livelihood. For example, cotton cloth imported from overseas is exempted from customs duties, but a certain amount of commercial tax is levied when it is sold.

Therefore, Indian cotton cloth occupies a large share of the domestic market.

After all, due to the geographical environment, Ah San's demand for food is not high, and the cost of growing food is also very low, which means that their labor force can be so cheap that the Han people can't imagine.

After all, there is no XX inequality at this time. Even if the wages of female workers in the Han country are lower than those of male workers, they still earn more than ten yuan a day.

And if the purchasing power of the ten qian is converted to Ah San's side, it is at least their monthly income.

What's important is that not only the workers' labor is worthless on Ah San's side, but also the farmers' labor is also worthless, so the price of raw materials is also much lower than that on Han's side!
Therefore, even if the steam engine is used as power in the Han Kingdom, the cost of the woven cotton cloth is almost equal to the import price in India.

Liu Ying nodded and said softly: "It seems that it's time to make some minor adjustments to the policy."

Zhang Buyi asked, "What adjustment?"

Liu Ying didn't say it directly, but told a story:
"In the old days when Guan Zhong assisted the King of Qi, the State of Lu was stronger than the State of Qi. Therefore, Duke Huan of Qi was worried that the State of Lu would attack the State of Qi, so he asked Guan Zhong for advice."

"But Guan Zhong just ordered the Qi people to only wear clothes made of Lu's cloth. Suddenly, Lu's rice was changed to mulberry, and the sound of looms resounded in every household... This year, Lu's food production dropped sharply."

"One year later, Guan Zhong once again ordered the people of Qi State not to buy cloth from Lu State again, and then raised the price of grain sharply. Now, Lu State panicked. There was a shortage of grain and the cloth was unsalable, so he had to spend a lot of money to buy cloth from Qi State at a high price. grain."

"Coincidentally, when Qi and Chu were fighting for hegemony, Qi State bought wild deer from Chu State at a high price, which once again caused Chu State's agriculture to wither, and food prices skyrocketed, making Chu State unable to compete with Qi State..."

"There is also the Hengshan Kingdom. Guan Zhong bought Hengshan's weapons at a high price, and double-purchased them, causing Hengshan's agriculture to wither, so he had to surrender the whole country to Qi..."

In Zhang Buyi's sudden realization, Liu Ying said with a smile:

"We can also follow the example of our ancestors and impose ten times the tariff on cotton cloth imported from overseas, while exempting the raw material of cotton cloth, that is, cotton."

"In this way, we have cheap raw materials, and the market share of cotton cloth will no longer be occupied by others!"

"The important thing is that everyone eats meat, and no one will be jealous of you."

Well, if what Zhang Buji said is true, and imported Indian cotton occupies more than half of the market share in Han, then it means that they actually sold most of the cotton cloth they produced to Han.

However, relying on the small sampans and camels of the Arabs, it is not enough to travel across the oceans and sell Indian cotton cloth to Southeast Asia and Europe.

Therefore, after the introduction of Han's policy, India's cotton textile industry will inevitably go bankrupt, and cotton will sell well, and unemployed textile workers will transform into farmers who grow cotton.

In this way, a raw material production base was opened up almost without bloodshed.

As for the merchants who resell cotton cloth, except that the business will be damaged at the beginning of the policy promulgation, the business will continue to do so afterwards.

After all, there is no tariff on imported cotton, and the cotton grown in India is much cheaper than that in Han.

Before there was mechanized cotton picking, cotton bolls were picked one by one by hand, which was too labor-intensive. This is also the reason why the cotton planting area in Han country is not too large and the price remains high.

Blacks were sold to American manors as slaves in large numbers, probably for this reason.

Well, in fact, European slave traders not only sell blacks, but also white Irishmen are also slave traders' commodities...
