Chapter 29 Black Belly Li Zhi

Li Yuanai used the simplest and straightforward way to reform the port in Quanzhou and open the sea plan... spend money!

Be willing to spend money and dare to spend money.

Don't be afraid of spending money.

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. When faced with generous benefits, there must be capable people emerging.

The court could not afford that much money, but the Suzhou government office could do it.

The first batch of cotton has been sold well in Haidong.

Northeast is currently one of the coldest places in Asia. The winter is long and cold, the summer is hot and humid, and the spring and autumn are quite short.

When they were sent to Pyongyang City, they were still in the winter.

After a boast of unscrupulous businessmen, the cotton coat and quilt were made of silk quilts, and the name was also changed to silk coats and silk quilts.

China is the first country in history to use silk. According to legend, the invented by Emperor Huangdi, the concubine of Emperor Laozu, is inquiry. It is impossible to find out whether it is true or not. However, there are many characters in the oracle bone inscriptions and characters next to the silk, which can also prove it.

Although it is a great country for mulberry raising, policies from all dynasties have been promoting mulberry planting and silkworm raising, and even emperors and queens have been involved in it.

The emperor personally ploughed and the empress personally plucked silkworms to persuade the world.

However, the constant of silk is very limited. After all, there was not so much manpower in ancient times, and there were not so many fields to plant mulberry and hemp.

Musk and hemp are not as expensive as grain, and the yield of silk is too low and the amount of erosion is large, so it is not easy to raise.

God knows how many silk cocoons are washed and pulled out for a piece of silk.

Zhang Yu of the Song Dynasty had a poem "Silkworm Woman" "Those who are all covered with silk and silk are not silkworms" refer to those who are wearing silk and silk all over their bodies, and none of them are described as silk and silk.

Silk is the privilege of the nobles, the luxury of princes, nobles, and great officials.

Use silk to fill the quilt?

Li Shimin is not that luxurious.

But the buyer's ignorance is the merchant's profit.

What is the most luxurious product in the East and West?

The East is ceramic, and the West is glass.

Ceramics are noble and mysterious, and in the eyes of Westerners, they are made of expensive fluorite.

The same is true for glazing. Chinese glazing is light yellow and belongs to sodium glass. Western glazing comes from different sources and presents a transparent color, so it has become an expensive and rare product.

But in fact, everyone who understands it understands that ceramics are soil, while glass is just inorganic minerals.

But because of the blind spots of both sides' cultures, the lack of knowledge circulation.

Ceramics and glazed are sold well in the East and the West at sky-high prices.

The same is true for cotton coats and quilts today. Silk clothes and silk quilts are filled with silk products.

And I can't find the trick. After the cotton is bounced, I can't see the appearance of the cotton fruits.

Slim and lightweight, but looks a bit silky.

Although it is inferior cotton, it is the first product of this era. Unless there is a second time traveler, it will not be recognized at all.

Moreover, even if it is inferior cotton, its effect is not as good as linen, and ordinary leather can be compared.

Unusual leathers such as tiger skin, marten skin, and bear skin are sky-high prices, and they are not breathable, and heavy is a flaw. Wearing a leather coat is the same as wearing armor.

Where can I fit and feel comfortable?

The price is still "real"!

After the publicity of unscrupulous merchants, "silk clothes and silk quilts" were sold out in the Northeast and were sold at a sky-high price, becoming something that nobles such as Baekje, Silla, Japan, Xi, Mohe, Khitan, Fuyu, Shiwei, etc.

It doesn't matter if you don't have enough money, support bartering.

Leather, ginseng and other things in the northeast can be exchanged for equivalent exchange.

These local specialties were transferred to Chang'an, which was another fortune.

The inferior cotton planted this year due to insufficient experience was directly sold out.

With such a high profit, Li Shimin and Li Zhi couldn't even sit still in Chang'an.

The Tang Dynasty was extremely developed in its economy, but its finances were not rich.

On the one hand, it is to raise integrity with high salaries. The salaries of officials of the Tang Dynasty were only inferior to those of the Song Dynasty in Chinese history, but the taxes of the Tang Dynasty were far lower than those of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the income of the imperial court under the economic development was not that significant.

At the same time, Li Shimin fought for years, with various rewards and military supplies astronomical figures.

The financial pressure is very serious.

Every time he went to war, Li Shimin had to tie his belt and be honest for a while.

Li Shimin and Li Zhi both knew that cotton was Li Yuanai's killer weapon, but they never expected that he would play so much.

The price of silk is sold directly with cotton.

This is so dark that he is almost like Mo.

The father and son looked at the news and swallowed their saliva, and they had bad thoughts.

If the cotton matter is hidden, the government will sell cotton coats and quilts directly in the Tang Dynasty and Western Regions, and the finances of the court will improve instantly.

"No!" Li Shimin said with anger: "Your is a boat; people are water; water can carry boats, but it can also overturn the boat. The prince cannot, and he feels greedy."

Li Zhi felt wronged in his heart, and he seemed to say nothing.

"You sixteenth uncle are really amazing. You turn decay into magic. Things that no one looks down upon have become the treasure that cares for the world in his hands. This thing spreads all over the world. Who doesn't appreciate the people of the Tang Dynasty who are frozen?"

Li Shimin thought about it now and felt a little scary in his heart.

He threw Li Yuanai to Jiangnan, and indeed believed that his younger brother had enough ability, but he didn't expect that it would make such a big fuss.

If he hadn't had any royal blood ties, he was really worried that Li Zhi would not be able to suppress him.

Li Zhi's heart sank and said, "Uncle Sixteen did not pay money according to the court's commercial tax, but instead claimed the income and reported the income to the Ministry of Revenue at a tax rate of one in ten."

Li Zhi was deeply and ruthless, but he was busy saying good things for those he believed in to protect his shortcomings.

The Tang Dynasty's commercial tax was thirty, and Li Yuanai directly mentioned thirty-one.

"Hmph!" Li Shimin snorted softly: "It's also considered that he knows the truth and knows how to use money to block our father and son's mouths. Otherwise, just because he acts like this in the Northeast, he might have some disputes."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "This sixteenth uncle is good at everything, but he is a little greedy for money. The son-in-law thinks that the father should give him an imperial edict at the right time and scold him directly. He scolded him for getting into the money, and then directly priced his cotton coat and quilt in the imperial edict. In this way, even if Baekje, Japan, Xi, and the Martial Arts start to make trouble, the father will be able to talk to him."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up. He was not afraid of Baekje, the Japanese, Xi, and the Mike, and bullied them ignorant. What else would he dare to do?

If you dare to make trouble, I will dare to refuse your tribute.

That's right, the most domineering thing at the peak of the Tang Dynasty was not to accept tribute.

Wanbians come to congratulate him, and that is Wanbians begging for tribute.

Once the court refuses tribute from a certain country, it means that the Tang Dynasty father is angry and is coming to beat you.

The other party immediately isolated the surrounding countries...
