Chapter 200 Making Money
Of course, the new policy has just begun to be implemented, and there will definitely be many disadvantages in it.
Zhu Cilang could only cross the river by feeling the stones. Fortunately, he had just won military victory and gained a lot of prestige in the court. These people dared not do anything excessive unless they didn't want their lives.
In terms of foreign trade, in addition to tea, Zhu Cilang quickly came up with the idea of silk and porcelain.
It’s not that Zhu Cilang is also very popular with these two transactions, and the transaction volume of these two transactions is no less than that of tea.
A single tea transaction allowed the Office of the Internal Affairs to obtain millions of taels of silver, which was a tax revenue of a wealthy province for one year.
So Zhu Cixuan called all the people from the Office of the Internal Affairs and the Lifan Academy and asked them to continue negotiations with foreigners. Now the translators on both sides are almost the same.
The purpose is still the same, and it must be increased by at least three times.
At the beginning, Hou Fangyu was indeed shocked by Zhu Cixuan's number.
Although Hou Fangyu is not a merchant and has not passed by, he also knows that the profit of goods cannot be that high.
However, if His Highness the Crown Prince has such an arrangement, it means His Highness the Crown Prince. Let’s listen honestly.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said to them, if we do not follow the profits we have proposed, we would rather not do this business.
At that time, we will see who will suffer more. As long as we can remember this sentence, we will not be afraid of any businessman in the negotiations with foreigners.
Of course, it is time to give foreigners some sweetness, but also some sweetness.
Take porcelain as an example. In the past, official kiln porcelain was not allowed to be exported, so they could only buy folk kiln porcelain.
But even such things are already high-end products in Europe.
Now Zhu Cixuan asked his subordinates to give them some airs, and they could sell them a batch of official kiln porcelain, or even palace porcelain. Of course, the quantity must be very rare, otherwise how could they be sold at a high price?
At the same time, strict laws were enacted nationwide, and anyone who bypassed the court and made private transactions with Westerners would be the crime of killing the whole family.
Although Zhu Cixuan also knew that this law was too strict, it was for the next step of development of the Ming Dynasty.
For the current Ming Dynasty's money bag, we can only do this first. After the entire Ming Dynasty is stable, Zhu Cixuan will gradually relax this kind of official trade behavior.
After all, this kind of behavior violates market laws.
After foreigners received this news, most of them were so excited that they couldn't sleep.
They did see many exquisite official kiln porcelain on the land of the Ming Dynasty. They had fantasized countless times in their dreams. If these things could be transported to Europe, how much sensation would it cause?
As for the price, they didn't even think about it.
Spain and Portugal dug silver mines in the Americas, and shipped precious metals to Europe. Those people had money and loved these exquisite porcelains very much. They would definitely spend a lot of money on these things.
A person who has traveled through time hundreds of years later and has the highest power in the seller's market. If he cannot make huge profits, then go home and coax the child!
For official kiln porcelain.
