Otherworldly Castle Era
Vol 4 Chapter 24: Commodity output
After getting into the water, some outfitting is needed, that is, to decorate the boat. All the furniture and seats are installed from the back.
After is installed, it is a sea trial. Try to check whether the various system equipment of the ship are qualified, how fast it can run as fast as possible, how maneuverable and so on.
After the sea trials are fully qualified, the ship is considered complete and can be delivered.
The delivery company is the company responsible for overseas transportation. The name is "Donghai Transportation Group". It is responsible for maritime transportation and part of the inland water transportation business. It is a state-owned enterprise.
But after the delivery is complete, it is estimated that it will be a month later. If it weren't for this ship to be the first steam-powered ship, it would take such a long time if it had to be debugged repeatedly.
If it’s a sailboat, sea trials will not take a few days at all. This is not a high-tech ship, just a wooden-shelled steam ship. With such a long sea trial time, it is already the result of very cautiousness.
Yang Song visited the entire ceremony and returned to Apocalypse City by land in the afternoon. It took more than an hour to travel by land, and I have experienced the feeling of riding a horse after a long time.
"My lord, because of the steam engine, the new textile factory produces a large amount of cloth, but it can't be sold in China. The stock of cloth in the warehouse is already very much." After Yang Song rushed back to Apocalypse City from Haijun Town, Liu Ji immediately looked for Come here.
Yang Song had just drank two sips of water while holding a teacup. Hearing Liu Ji's report, he frowned and said, "Can't we sell at a lower price? The cloth produced by the new machine is very beautiful."
"My lord, the current price is already the lowest price. If it is not for small profits but quick turnover, this price can only be at a loss." Liu Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Besides, the domestic market is only so big, and it is now saturated. Up."
Yang Song thought for a while, the same goes for the secret road. In the past, the price of a metre of cloth was about ten wen, but now only four wen, the price is already very low.
Machine cost, labor cost, raw material cost, management cost, storage and transportation cost...
So many costs and so low prices are related to the terrifying production efficiency of the new machine.
Compared with manual or water-powered looms, the fabrics produced by steam-driven looms have risen several steps in terms of quality and beauty.
The quality is good, the price is low, and it can't be sold. It's no wonder that Liu Ji has to smile wryly and come to Yang Song to discuss the problem.
With a population of more than two million people in Xia State, it took less than a year to start the textile factory, and it has saturated the market area of Xia State, which shows how terrifying the production efficiency of the machine age is!
"Berwen, do you mean to sell it outside the pass?" Yang Song pointed to the north and asked Liu Ji.
Liu Ji arched his hands and said: "The king is wise, the minister means this."
After receiving Liu Ji’s affirmation, Yang Song then asked doubtfully: "Isn't textiles on the sales list of Naturalization City?"
The sales list of Guihua City is to prevent Xia Guo's important equipment and strategic products from being sold abroad.
Only the products on this list can appear in Naturalization City, and the ones that are not can be sold regardless of their size or value.
And textiles were the first batch to appear on this list, so Yang Song had this question.
"Returning to the Lord is not the reason why the sellers did not sell." Liu Ji replied: "Chen suggested that prices should be reduced to impact the textile market outside the customs."
Liu Ji certainly knows that textiles can be sold, but his suggestion today is to use Xia Guo's large, cheap and exquisite textiles to attack the textile industry outside the customs.
If it involves strategic issues like this, you must report to Yang Song.
"That's the case." Yang Song understood what Liu Ji meant, but he still had a question: "Isn't it time to fight outside the customs? Such an environment is not conducive to business."
"Enlightenment! It is because of the continuous wars outside the customs that textiles are the best-selling products." Liu Ji immediately explained: "Because of the war, civilians outside the customs are not living, many industries have been hit, and the textile industry is one of them ."
Where there is war, weapons are the most popular, followed by food and beverages, followed by textiles, and finally other commodities.
Army uniforms require the most cloth, and they are also easy to lose. There is also a lot of civilian demand. If it is further north, the demand is even greater.
In addition, the war has made it impossible for civilians to engage in production with peace of mind, and the prices of cloth and grain have always been high. This is why Liu Ji suggested selling a large number of cloths to attack the market outside the customs.
"In other words, a lot of sales can't raise the price too high, so that everyone outside the customs can buy it?" Yang Song asked Liu Ji for confirmation.
"That's the case, your lord, so you can ensure that the cloth is sold smoothly." Liu Ji affirmed Yang Song's thoughts.
But then Yang Song seemed to think of something and asked: "What else does the country buy from outside the customs besides iron ore?"
Liu Ji frowned and thought about this question: "In addition to various ores such as iron ore, there are only handicrafts and some special spices."
In order to obtain the ore needed by Xia Country, the merchants of Xia Country spent a lot of money, so that the price of ore outside the customs has been doubled, and it hurts the brains of many lords who do not have iron ore in the territory.
Territories with iron ore can quickly expand the army by selling minerals, and win opportunities for wealth. As long as there is iron ore, the lords outside the customs can get a lot of support by relying on the trade of Naturalization City.
For this reason, various forces launched a fierce battle for iron ore on the border.
It can be said that Xia Guo dominated the war from another aspect.
The reason why Yang Song asks this is because he thinks that Xia Guo has a huge trade surplus with the outside world, and he has gained a lot of wealth.
It was originally expected to spend 10 million gold coins to establish the credit of Xia Guo's banknotes. Now, not only the credit has been established smoothly, but also Xia Guo has earned a lot of gold coins.
But with such a large trade surplus, the wealth outside the customs was plundered a lot, which provided great help to Xia Guo’s finances.
Because there are really few products outside the customs that can make Xia Guo merchants' eyes, the last thing is to buy some weird things~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to satisfy the curiosity of the people in Xia Guo.
Therefore, in addition to the products Liu Ji mentioned, Xia Guo really looks down on the products outside the customs!
As a result, outside the customs is getting poorer and Xia Guo is getting richer and richer, making Xia Guo's finances hit a new high.
In Xia State, a chain of interests has also been formed against the forces outside the customs and the trade with Guihua City.
"Well, then so be it." Although Yang Song was worried that if he took the initiative to launch a war outside, the interests of these people would be damaged, but he was more concerned about the interests of the whole country.
After receiving Yang Song’s approval, Liu Ji left the monarch’s mansion and went to arrange merchandise export and sales.
Liu Ji is a monarch military division. He has no specific responsibilities. He mainly provides wisdom and advice to Yang Song. Because of this, Liu Ji's authority is still very high, and all industries can speak for themselves.
Yang Song prevents things that are not going to end, so Liu Ji only has the right to make suggestions and the right to know, but does not have the right to execute or manage.
That is to say, Liu Ji’s monarch military division is just high in status, not to mention that there is no power, but it is not heavy.
Because Liu Ji knows many things, it is most suitable for him to make cross-departmental suggestions. This is why Liu Ji came to report.
