Chapter 116: Zhao Kingdom's Commodity Sales Policy
Even though he was denounced by many parties, Feng Hao chose to attack Li Zicheng, a very powerful and terrifying factor. He just asked a few generals to attack him, and after the attack, he brought them over and tried to mediate them. In the end, he was still the same.
The problem with the Zhu family is that the discipline is not strict and they are also messing around.
After sending out troops, Feng Hao left his hands to deal with domestic financial and economic issues. After calling in Liu Bao, the Minister of Household Affairs, the two of them discussed domestic and international economic and trade issues. For Liu Bao, these
The problem wasn't really a big problem at all, because he was originally a merchant, and he was most familiar with dealing with money.
Based on domestic economic problems, the first thing they have to adjust is the direction of private trade. The economic commodities of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms can be said to be dazzling and countless. The lacquerware produced in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, as well as the jewelry carved from jade and agate, are widely traded.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, when there were contacts with the Western Regions, trade in silk and silkworm products was extensive.
The ceramic industry of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms also gradually emerged, and the southern tea merchant trade gradually became a dark horse on the historical economic stage. The remaining commodities were almost the same as those of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, but with the fine processing of economic products and production tools
With further development, the products of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were obviously better than those of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
At this time, the private circulation and trade goods accumulated in the palace were "received" by Feng Hao intimately. These goods were all moved from Liu Bao's home. In fact, these were just the tip of the glacier of the treasures in Liu Bao's home, but they were enough to
Feng Hao was shocked.
"How much have you hoarded..."
Liu Bao, who was standing aside, replied with a bright face: "Reporting to the king, these are just my personal feelings..."
However, Feng Hao was not jealous and uneasy like those emperors, but nodded and said: "Okay, if Liu Bao uses all your business acumen, I will not pursue you for hiding so many treasures."
.”
After hearing these words, Liu Bao responded confidently: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely make our country the number one economically in the world!"
That being said, if Liu Bao's mind doesn't work quickly, he is very likely to be outrun by the ally Shen Wansan. You must know that Shen Wansan can "change" money to make a profit even in a coal mine, let alone a ten-year-old
In a wealthy environment, can he increase all this money several times?
Moreover, there was also a richest man in the Song Dynasty in the north, named Qin Gao. He was a wealthy businessman in the Southern Song Dynasty. His history of getting rich was extremely difficult. He opened a teahouse at the beginning of his career, and after twenty years of running the catering industry, he became the industry leader and earned a lot of money.
The world's economic and trade disputes have taken on a new dimension with his appearance.
Feng Hao stared at the gold and silver jewelry, large and small gold and silver jewelry and various small utensils in front of him. From his point of view, it seemed that there would not be much trade volume for these things, but he might give it a try in the category of tea.
"I don't think it's good for jewelry. After all, none of these merchants have seven or eight pieces of gold and silver jewelry. What I mean is to shift the sales of commodity trade to practical products. What do you think?"
Liu Bao stood silently in front of Feng Hao and pondered for a while. As for practical items, except for gold and silver jewelry and lipstick used by women, the rest were ordinary small items and objects played by some professional collectors.
, and things like tea.
"Does your Majesty mean to shift the sales of goods to these things?"
Seeing Liu Bao pointing at those small objects, collection utensils, tea leaves and the like, Feng Hao nodded slightly, it was indeed these things.
But Liu Bao asked very puzzledly: "They have all these small objects and utensils in their hands, and they are better than ours. The worst thing is that they won't be able to sell any of them."
Feng Hao had completely different opinions from Liu Bao. What he meant was to focus on the sales of these items such as tea leaves, with gold and silver jewelry as auxiliary sales. In this case, promotions could be carried out, such as buying a hundred catties of tea leaves and giving away a relatively ordinary quality one. Lacquerware is not a loss in this case.
Furthermore, farmers need farmland, so there is also a battle for agricultural commodity sales in terms of agricultural tools. Now the Tang Dynasty's Quyuan plow has appeared on the stage of economic sales, and the effect is very significant, but if you compete with them, you will definitely grab it. However, Feng Hao did not only live in cities in modern times. He lived in rural areas for ten years when he was a child. He knew the appearance of many agricultural tools, and also understood their functions and uses.
"Agricultural tools, such as rakes, shovels, shovels, sickles and hoes, I will draw a picture for you and let the Ministry of Works workshop make them, and use all the blacksmiths in the country to mass-produce these things for trial sale. Okay, let’s start selling to foreign countries.”
In fact, Feng Hao's idea is to monopolize all sales of farm tools. Farmers need to cultivate land and do other farm work. To buy farm tools, it is troublesome to go back and forth to sales centers in multiple countries. Come to Zhaoguo, where you can find all the sales venues, so there is no need to worry. I'll pack it up and take it away with you.
Liu Bao also began to have the latest understanding of Feng Hao. His business acumen was not bad. He only thought about the problems of ordinary people, but he did not expect that there was still agriculture. Now that the problem of farm tools has been solved, there are still many problems. Something is missing.
Feng Hao thought for a while, the products for ordinary people and farmers have been decided, but in addition to gold and silver jewelry and tea utensils, the products for wealthy families also need silk. You must know that the most needed items for marriage are leather products and silkworm products. As well as textiles, as long as these are in place, they are truly in place.
Speaking of textiles, Feng Hao remembered Hargreaves, an inventor during the first industrial revolution in Britain. The textile cart he improved, the Jenny Machine, was eight times faster than the old textile cart, and Feng Hao still remembered He once read relevant improvement books. Hargreaves accidentally kicked over the textile cart. After righting it, he found that the horizontal spindles stood up and operated by themselves, so he stood up all the spindles, and the speed increased by nearly eight times. About times, it was widely used later.
"Wait a minute, let's go to the work department workshop and find a textile cart."
Immediately afterwards, Feng Hao and Liu Bao came to the workshop of the Ministry of Work and found a spinning cart. Obviously, this was almost the same as the water-powered spinning machine of the Yuan Dynasty. After all, the British Ackley water-powered spinning machine was made in China. It was invented on the basis of the same basic principles.
He put the spindle from horizontal to vertical, and after he started spinning, the speed was indeed much faster. So Feng Hao pointed to the spinning machine in its current condition and said, "Look, the spinning speed is much faster."
The officials and craftsmen working in the workshop came over and saw this scene. They all expressed surprise to Feng Hao, and then expressed high respect for Feng Hao, and immediately began to vigorously improve production according to Feng Hao's instructions. The final textile machine was put into the market for sale.
