After getting in the water, you need to install some decoration, that is, decorating the boat, and all the furniture and seats are installed at the back.

After installation, you will try the sea, try whether the various systems and equipment of the ship are qualified, try how fast it can run as fast as possible, how maneuverable it is, etc.

After the sea test is fully qualified, the ship is completed and can be delivered.

The company that delivers the goods is the one responsible for overseas transportation, the name is "East Sea Transportation Group". It is responsible for maritime transportation and part of inland transportation business. It is a state-owned enterprise.

But it will probably be a month later when the ship is fully delivered. If it weren't for the first steam-powered ship, it would take so long to do it repeatedly.

If it is a sailboat, the sea trial will take only a few days. This is not a high-tech ship, it is just a wooden steamer. It has been a very cautious result after so long sea trials.

Yang Song visited the complete ceremony and returned to Tianqi City by land in the afternoon of the same day. It took more than an hour to take the land and experienced the feeling of riding a horse for a long time.

"June, because of the steam engine, the new textile factory produces a large amount of cloth, which can no longer be sold in China, and there are already a lot of cloth stored in the warehouse." After Yang Song rushed back to Tianqi City from Haijun Town, Liu Ji immediately came to the door.

Yang Song took the teacup and drank two sips of water. When he heard Liu Ji's report, he frowned and said, "Can you no longer sell it at a lower price? The cloth produced by the new machine is very exquisite."

"Your Majesty, the price is now the lowest price. If it weren't for small profits and quick turnover, this price would have to lose money." Liu Ji shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Besides, the domestic market is only so big, and it has become saturated now."

Yang Song thought about it and thought it was the same. In the past, the price of one meter of cloth was about ten cents, but now it only costs four cents, and the price is already very low.

The cost of the machine, the cost of labor, the cost of raw materials, the cost of management, the cost of storage and transportation...

So much cost and such low price are related to the terrifying production efficiency of the new machine.

Compared with manual or hydraulic looms, the cloth produced by looms driven by steam engines has risen several steps in terms of quality and beauty.

The quality is good, the price is low and it can't be sold. Isn't it a wonder that Liu Ji came to Yang Song to discuss the problem with a wry smile.

With a population of more than 2 million in Xia Kingdom, the textile factory was launched. In less than a year, the market area of ​​Xia Kingdom has saturated, which shows how terrifying the production efficiency in the machine era!

"Bowen, do you mean to go out to sell?" Yang Song pointed to the north and asked Liu Ji.

Liu Ji bowed and said, "Your wise, this is what the minister means."

After getting Liu Ji's affirmation, Yang Song then asked in confusion: "Aren't textiles on the sales list of Guihua City?"

The sales list of Guihua City is a list formulated to prevent the sale of some important equipment and strategically significant goods from the Xia Kingdom.

Only the goods on this list can appear in Guihua City. No matter how big or small or valuable it is, they will not be sold.

Textiles were the first to appear on this list, so Yang Song had this question.

"It's not the reason why you sell it or not." Liu Ji replied: "I suggest selling it at a lower price to impact the textile market outside the pass."

Of course, Liu Ji knew that textiles could be sold, but today his suggestion was to use a large number of cheap and exquisite textiles from Xia Kingdom to impact the textile industry outside the pass.

If you have strategic issues like this, you must report to Yang Song and him.

"So that's it." Yang Song understood what Liu Ji meant, but he still had a question: "Hasn't there been years of war outside the pass? Such an environment is not conducive to business."

"Your Majesty! It is precisely because of the war outside the pass that textiles are the best-selling products." Liu Ji immediately explained: "Because of the war, the civilians outside the pass have suffered a lot of life, and many industries have been hit, and the textile industry is one of them."

Where wars occur, the most popular ones are weapons, followed by food and wine, followed by textiles, and finally other commodities.

Military uniforms require the most cloth and are easily lost. There are also many demands from the people. If they are further north, the demand will be greater.

In addition, the war made it difficult for civilians to engage in production with peace of mind, and the prices of cloth and grain have always remained high, which is why Liu Ji suggested selling large quantities of cloth to impact the market outside the pass.

"In other words, large-scale sales cannot be raised at too high prices, so that everyone outside the pass can afford it?" Yang Song asked Liu Ji as if he asked.

"That's true, lord, this way can ensure that the cloth can be sold smoothly." Liu Ji affirmed Yang Song's thoughts.

But then Yang Song seemed to think of something and asked: "What else do I have in my country's goods purchased from outside the customs?"

Liu Ji frowned and thought about this question: "In addition to various ores such as iron ore, there are only some handicrafts and some special spices."

In order to obtain the ore needed by Xia State, the merchants of Xia State spent money like soil, which increased the price of ore outside the pass several times, causing many lords who did not have iron ore in their territory to worry.

Territories with iron ore can quickly expand their army by selling minerals and gain opportunities for wealth. As long as there is iron ore, the lords outside the pass can obtain a lot of support through trade in the naturalized city.

To this end, various forces launched a fierce battle against iron ore on the border.

It can be said that the Xia Kingdom dominated the war from another aspect.

The reason why Yang Song asked this was that the Xia Kingdom had a huge surplus in trade with the outside of the pass and obtained a lot of wealth.

The creditworthiness of Xia State’s banknotes was established by spending 10 million gold coins. Until now, not only has the creditworthiness been successfully established, but Xia State has also earned a large amount of gold coins.

However, under such a large trade surplus, the wealth outside the pass was plundered in large quantities, which provided great help to the Xia State's finances.

Because there are really few products outside the customs that can attract businessmen in Xia Kingdom, they finally buy some strange things to satisfy the curiosity of the people in Xia Kingdom.

So apart from the products mentioned by Liu Ji, Xia Guo really doesn’t look down on products outside the pass!

As a result, the outside world became poorer and the Xia Kingdom became richer, causing the Xia Kingdom's finances to hit new highs.

In Xia Country, a chain of interests has also been formed against the forces outside the pass and trade in the city of Guihua.

"Well, then that's it." Although Yang Song was worried that if he took the initiative to launch a war outside in the future, he was more concerned about the interests of the entire country.

After Liu Ji obtained Yang Song's approval, he said goodbye and left the monarch's mansion and went to arrange for goods to go out of customs and sell them.

Liu Ji is a monarch military advisor and has no specific responsibilities. He mainly provides wisdom and makes suggestions for Yang Song. It is precisely because of this that Liu Ji's authority is still very high and can speak in all industries.

Yang Song prevents things that are too big to lose, so Liu Ji only has the right to suggest, the right to know, and other powers, and has no right to execute or manage.

In other words, Liu Ji's monarchy only has a high status and no power, but it is not heavy.

Because Liu Ji knows a lot of things, it is most suitable for him to make cross-departmental suggestions, which is why Liu Ji came to report.
