At the beginning of the seventh year of the Qiansheng Dynasty, the Gafiya Empire in the southwest continent raised the tariff on cheap cotton cloth from the Daheng Empire, on the grounds that the cotton quality of the Daheng Empire was extremely poor, and the price of buying it was very cheap, which seriously damaged the ecology of the local textile industry.

As for the Olisa Empire in the south, they adopted a high tariff policy on many of the export goods of the Daheng Empire, even if it was their own urgently needed food, and they would rather pay a higher price to import grain from other countries than import grain from Daheng.

Of course, the grain merchants of many countries ordered grain from the Great Heng Empire on the front foot, and then sold it to the Orissa people.

In the past two years, many enterprises in the Daheng Empire have felt the pressure of trade barriers from foreign countries.

And you can't blame other countries, because if you want to say that the trade barriers are the most serious on the contemporary Blue Star, it must be the Great Heng Empire!

The Great Heng Empire adopted a policy of high tariffs on almost all imported goods, which was to protect the development of domestic industry and commerce.

Even in the high-end machinery industry, the same is true, if you don't raise the tariffs, why don't domestic companies import better quality, more advanced foreign machinery products, and have to use their own tattered domestic goods?

Without the support of the domestic market, a large number of domestic votes seem to be high, but the machinery manufacturers of technical slag have to go bankrupt directly.

Because in fair competition, they simply cannot compete with similar products from foreign countries.

At present, the trade policy of the Daheng Empire is to implement the strictest trade protection policy and keep foreign products out!

In order to further stimulate the competitiveness of domestic manufacturers, Daheng Empire has been continuing to reform the economic environment in recent years.

One of the most important features is that the state capital controlled by the State Assets Committee has begun to gradually withdraw from non-core areas, especially the textile industry, the core industry in light industry.

At the same time, it will further increase the market participation of mining, machinery, iron and steel industries, and successively list many large enterprises controlled by the State Assets Commission, introduce private capital, and carry out market-oriented operation.

Of course, the core industry still adopts a wholly-owned holding model, but even if it is wholly-owned by the State Assets Commission, it is also a market-oriented operation of these enterprises and the introduction of professional managers to manage the enterprises.

In the process of market-oriented operation and expanding the competitiveness of the domestic market, many enterprises have gone bankrupt and closed down, but it doesn't matter, because more companies have developed and grown in this process, and countless new companies have been established every day.

This can be seen from the further expansion of the urban population of the Great Heng Empire, which shows that the industrialization process of the Great Heng Empire was sustained and rapid development, and was not affected by the reform process, and even in this process, there was no wave of unemployment among the urban population.

Because the industry of the Daheng Empire continued to develop, this enterprise went out of business, another company expanded, and the total demand for workers in the market continued to increase, otherwise more and more people would not have left the rural areas and moved into the cities.

The continuous development of industry and commerce in the Daheng Empire has been fully reflected in the international trade of the Daheng Empire, and the total international trade of the Daheng Empire is expected to exceed 3 billion Heng Yuan in the seventh year of the reign of Qiansheng.

Among them, the total import value is expected to be 1.4 billion Hengyuan, and the total export value is expected to be 1.6 billion Hengyuan, and the trade surplus is huge, reaching 200 million Hengyuan.

There is nothing to say about this imported thing, basically it is high-end industrial products from powerful countries such as the Krull Kingdom and the Walya Empire, such as machinery and equipment, and some high-end daily consumer goods or raw materials, such as high-grade cotton, high-grade woollen wool, high-end wine, coffee, fruits, precious wood furniture, spices, raw silk, guano, rubber and so on.

In terms of exports, agricultural products are still the majority, reaching a huge amount of 700 million constant yuan, and it is worth noting that the total export volume of agricultural products is the same as last year, while the export volume of grain has declined slightly, and cotton and other cash crops have increased slightly.

However, the total agricultural output value of the Daheng Empire continued to increase, and with the reclamation of more land, the cultivated land area was further increased, the agricultural output value was further increased, the grain output increased substantially, and other types of cash crops also increased substantially.

There are two major reasons why the output value of agricultural products has increased, but the export volume has not increased, one of which is that more agricultural products are consumed by the domestic people.

Another important factor is that many agricultural products are not directly exported, but are processed before being exported!

This is a good thing, which means that Daheng's domestic consumption capacity of agricultural products has been further improved, reflecting the further increase in people's income.

At the same time, grain is processed into various grain processing products and then exported in large quantities, which can create greater added value.

This means that the grain processing industry of the Daheng Empire has achieved great results through continuous development, and at the same time, the empire has also achieved certain success in agricultural structural adjustment.

This not only increases peasants' incomes, but also increases the domestic grain supply, and can also earn foreign exchange through exports.

It has changed the monolithic agricultural economic structure of the past, which simply cultivated grain and exported grain.

Not only grain processing products, but also the export volume of other processed products is also increasing year by year, such as textiles, which are the most important products in contemporary international trade.

In the past, Daheng people would only export cotton and wool stupidly, but now, although Daheng people have worked hard to improve their technology for several years, they have now begun to export textiles.

Although it is still relatively low-end cotton cloth and sheep, the price sold is very low, but relying on the domestic low cost of raw materials and labor costs, and at the same time, the domestic implementation of low tax policies for these industries, so although the quality is poor, it is still possible to obtain low-end markets in some countries by relying on cheapness.

Well, some countries such as the Gadia Empire used the weight of these textiles exported by the Daheng Empire to be too scum, and the price was cheap to impact their own textile industry, and then raised tariffs in a targeted manner.

Despite the troubles, this still represents the great progress of the industrial development of the Daheng Empire in recent years, and the export volume of industrial products is getting larger and larger, and even the export of industrial products has accounted for about 50% of the total exports.

Textiles, leather goods, furniture, paper and some low-end industrial products are all available, but the main share of them is still petroleum-related products.

Petroleum products based on kerosene and lubricating oil have become the most important industrial exports of the Daheng Empire, and the total export value of petrochemical products is expected to reach 200 million Hengyuan in the seven years of Qiansheng.

Among all the export commodities of Daheng, it is second only to grain!
