"Those with technical requirements are called high-tech exports, and those without technical requirements are called OEM." Li Yi gave a definition first.
More specifically, he said, "High-tech products have high added value. The current glass mirrors belong to the high-tech category. The material cost is low, and the selling price is high."
"What's low-tech? Silk? "Wu Jieyu knew that others were willing to buy silk and porcelain from the Tang dynasty.
"Silk is a high-tech product. Others don't have it. Even the people of the Tang dynasty can't have a set of silk clothes. How can the technology be low?"
Li Yi not only didn't think silk was expensive, but he also thought that the export of silk should be limited.
Replace it with other products. Silk was cool to wear in summer, and good silk brocades were really beautiful.
Li Longji raised his eyebrows. "If you want to grow cotton, you can't grow land. You should focus on eating."
"Let others grow cotton, and we can buy it to make clothes. Yes, the southwest barbarians, and India. India's cotton is good."
Li Yi narrowed his eyes, and a map appeared in his mind. Where was suitable to grow cotton, where was the most wheat and rice, spices …
"Increase the trade volume and varieties. We can't always have pearls, hawksbill turtles, and corals.
Expensive luxury goods can't show their value in medicine. They can be replaced with other things.
Medicinal pearls. In another two years, the pearls we planted will be harvested every year. One year is equivalent to one year of planting and harvesting.
It's not worth it to exchange a lot of grown silk for a piece of gemstone.
I know where there are gemstone mines. If there's a need, send people to dig directly.
Rubies, sapphires, cat's eyes, stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade. I know what they haven't found yet. "
Li Yi was distressed to exchange such good silk, tea leaves, and porcelain for stones.
They could exchange a lot of food, spices, and medicinal herbs.
Let others grow cotton. The climate was good, and they didn't have to worry about food or clothing.
"If we transport 100 dans of grain to the seaside, we'll pay a bolt of silk. The land and manpower to raise, collect, and weave a bolt of silk can't be exchanged for 100 dans of grain."
Li Yi calculated the cost for everyone. How much he paid and how much he gained was called technical advantage.
If others gave him 100 dans of grain, he didn't care how much the transportation cost was. Since the other party was willing to exchange, it meant that the profit was still very high.
"Uncle, we have to build more ships and speed up. We can't let them take all the profits."
Empress Wang wished she could capture the barbarian merchant and turn him into a slave of the Tang dynasty. She would trade the barbarian merchant for good things for the Tang dynasty, and the barbarian merchant would only give her food.
Li Yi looked at Li Chengqi. Li Chengqi was in charge.
"The merchants have been organized. The Tang dynasty's Business Alliance is only one business alliance to the outside world, and they don't compete with each other.
Merchants who joined the alliance had to set a fixed price when trading outside. They were not allowed to lower prices on their own initiative.
At the same time, if a trade blockade was implemented, no one would be able to sell it. If they did, they would be dealt with. Those who don't want to join the Merchant Alliance … "
Li Chengqi stopped talking. The result of not joining was already set.
It's not easy for you to get a ship. Why don't you join the Tang dynasty's Business Alliance? I guarantee that I'll sink you when you go out to sea. "
As for the law, what law was there in the sea? Who was the king?
In order to unite everyone, he had to be ruthless.
Once they went out, if someone had a good relationship with the local people, other merchants of the Tang dynasty would be lucky to survive.
Li Longji added, "In the future, when the Tang dynasty's fleet goes out to cruise, we'll teach them patiently if they're unfavorable to the Tang dynasty."
"When can we go out to sea? What's it like to sail in the sea? "Noble Consort Lu had never been to the sea.
But she heard that there were people who painted it.
She knew about the sea. It had appeared in the water curtain before. At a glance, it was all boundless water.
The sun rose in the water and sank in the water. The sky in the distance was connected to the water surface.
Li Yi looked at everyone. None of them had been to the sea. He said, "The railway has been repaired. Let's take the train to take a look."
Li Yi felt sorry for these people. They seemed to have a lot of power, but in fact, if it weren't for the An Lushan Rebellion, they would only be in the Eastern Capital and the Western Capital.
They went to the Eastern Capital because they couldn't eat. There was a large group of people in the palace. Every day, they had to fight with the common people for food, so they had to move.
This was a method, but also a way to escape from natural disasters.
This year, there was a drought in Guanzhong. In addition, the locust plague in history had reduced the production of food. They couldn't be transported to Chang 'an. The common people were so hungry that they had to eat soil.
Leaving Chang 'an, out of sight, out of mind.
Knowing the situation of the disaster in advance, Li Yi first dealt with the locusts and then spread the water net.
The common people had a lot of surplus food, so Li Longji didn't go to Luoyang.
"Yes, let's go and take a look. Brother Yi, I'll be relieved if you follow me. Or ask His Majesty if he can send the Prime Minister to the sea with me to take a look at the common people."
Li Longji wasn't worried about the political issues now. The army was powerful.
If there were any urgent government affairs that needed to be dealt with, Li Yi would be there.
Even if the sky was falling, he could ask Brother Yi. Brother Yi would find a way to solve it.
Li Yi looked at Li Longji. "Who's going and who's staying? If Third Brother asks, His Majesty will definitely agree. "
"Brother Yi, who do you think should stay?" Li Longji couldn't think of anyone.
"Old Song and Old Zhang are both fine. Both of them have seen the sea. Old Bi … Old Bi has also seen the sea. Only Su Yi hasn't been to the sea."
Li Yi looked. You all know the sea!
Bi Goo was once the Governor of Guangzhou. As the Governor of Guangzhou, he didn't go to the sea to take a look?
"They … sigh!" Empress Wang sighed.
She envied the others. In the past, she didn't consider going to the sea.
In theory, one could see the sea at Mount Tai, but in reality, it was hundreds of miles away. Without binoculars, it was impossible to see the sea.
In the past, they couldn't find a chance to go out. Would the Empress and Emperor go to the sea to play? Would the Imperial Court be abandoned?
Now, everything was different. The Imperial Court? Wherever Li Yi was, it was the Imperial Court.
Princess Yongmu showed a yearning expression. "Is the sea beautiful?"
"It's better to swim in summer. The prerequisite is that there must be fine sand beaches and reefs. Why don't I fly you there?
The area north of the Yangtze River is not good. It's cold. Let's go to … Qiongzhou. It's warm there. The beach is fine.
I'll teach you how to surf. It's like a sled. The one you wear on your feet. "
Li Yi saw that Princess Yongmu wanted to go and wanted to fly directly.
"Brother Yi, you can't. It's a long journey. If you suddenly go from a cold place to a hot place, you will get sick."
Li Longji hurriedly stopped her. Don't go. Our destination is Hongnong, not Qiongzhou.
The others persuaded her one after another. You have to stay. We won't feel at ease if you leave.
"Li Lang, wait for next year." Princess Yongmu gave up the idea of seeing the sea immediately.
"Well, actually, if we go quickly …"
"It will take at least three days, right? If we go quickly, we can reach Hongnong in three days. "Li Yi interrupted Li Chengqi.
"No, I won't go." Li Yi nodded.
"Dongzhu, Wang Wei ate the half-cooked fish. He said it tasted good." Song De rushed over and reported to Li Yi.
"A brat is a brat. He will have diarrhea after eating it. Yes! He can see me. "Li Yi was surprised and impressed.
