Businessmen have a very sensitive sense of smell, and once they encounter something that may make money, they will rush to the scene like a fly smelling fish.

It was also at this time that the Ministry of Commerce introduced the price, using sample clothes as a demonstration, and the price of each ready-to-wear garment was controlled at about 40 yuan.

Immediately, the merchants were shocked.

That so-called textile machine really has such a miraculous ability?

For example, a few samples displayed by the Ministry of Commerce, such workmanship and quality, in the rest of the major vassal states, at least cost a hundred yuan.

However, the bid of the Ministry of Commerce is only thirty or forty yuan!

The price is only 30%!

If such a piece of clothing is shipped to China and sold for 80 yuan a piece, it will definitely cause a rush!

Moreover, food and clothing have always been a measure of the lives of the common people by the rulers of successive dynasties, and once such cheap clothes appear in the country, they will definitely be respected by the rulers.

For a time, the commerce department was in full swing.

In just three days, the Ministry of Commerce received an order of 600,000 taels of silver.

Just a few days later, the Ministry of Commerce released a message again that Cangguo was willing to sell the manufacturing method of the loom, and businessmen from various countries could return to the country to set up their own factories to weave cloth as long as they bought the manufacturing method.

Drawing?

This...... So why do you have to order a few days ago?

Wouldn't it be nice to go back and make it yourself?

So, the businessman who had signed the order before was extremely depressed and went to the Ministry of Commerce again to buy drawings for the loom.

The price is clearly marked, 30,000 taels of silver, and it is not allowed to cooperate in purchasing.

This is the advantage of a seller's market, when the rules are announced, those businessmen who are about to make a move with bad ideas suddenly stop thinking.

There is no need to cut off the future financial route for these 30,000 taels of silver, if it is found out, the lost profits will be at least hundreds of thousands of taels.

As a result, the drawings of the simple textile machine also became fragrant and sweet, and dozens of copies were sold.

In this regard, Qin Changfeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, smiled from ear to ear.

Because, the textile machines that these foreign businessmen know are to be sold to ordinary people at a low price, and it is estimated that they can be implemented in the entire Cangguo in less than half a month.

When the time comes, as long as these foreign businessmen are willing to spend a month or two copying, won't it be easy?

What's more, the reason why Cangguo's clothes are sold so cheaply has nothing to do with these simple machines.

Those simple looms can't improve much efficiency, and it's those large mechanical looms that really reduce the cost of clothes and fabrics!

When these merchants buy the drawings back and try them out, they will probably be disappointed, and finally get Cangguo to order!

……

"Click!"

Yang Mu reclined on the bed, threw a melon seed into his mouth, and watched the fold.

On his side, lying the queen with sideburns and half-covered breasts, and a lazy Mu Yang, obviously still immersed in the afterglow of Chenghuan.

"Hmm, this Qin Changfeng is still a bit of a brain, he knows that he is half false and half real, and he has earned more than one million taels of silver for nothing!"

Yang Mu saw the excerpt of the Ministry of Commerce, smiled and nodded, Qin Changfeng had been in the Ministry of Commerce for a few months, and he had dealt with those foreign businessmen many times, and he had also touched some doorways, and he gradually became familiar with the business and everything.

"It's just that if you do too much of this kind of thing, it will affect your reputation......" Yang Mu muttered, grabbed the charcoal next to him, and commented on a line of words: This matter is very good, not too much.

Putting down the fold, he picked up another.

Hey?

In an instant, Yang Mu cheered up.

This is a secret report from Jinyiwei.

Since the establishment of Jinyiwei, some spies have been arranged to infiltrate the countries to find out the news, among which Dasheng has the most, with a total of several secret agents.

The secret newspaper said that a group of copyists had recently appeared in Dasheng to sell "Fables" at low prices, and at the same time, several more checkpoints were set up on the official road connecting Cangguo and Dashengguo, and when the caravan passed by, a large amount of toll was charged.

Shameless!

Yang Mu is atmospheric, if the caravans from various countries want to come to Cangguo, they must pass through Dasheng Country, in the past few months, the number of caravans coming to Cangguo has increased, and Dasheng Country has also made a lot of money.

But I didn't expect that the people's hearts were not enough to swallow elephants, and Dasheng Kingdom took advantage of the geographical advantage to blatantly engage in banditry and charge caravans passing by!

Just collecting tolls is not satisfied, and even thinking about robbing the book and paper business!

You must know that there is an alliance between the major vassal states, as long as the caravan is legal, then it can pass freely in various countries, Dasheng is obviously bullying Cangguo is a newly rising small country, and it is limited by geography, so it secretly made such a small move!

For piracy, Yang Mu has long been prepared.

However, he really has no choice but to do this kind of roadblock robbery.

It's impossible to use this as an excuse to start a war, right?

Not to mention whether Cangguo can win or not, even if it is a fluke, it will outweigh the losses.

Because, with the current national strength of Cangguo, it cannot annex a vassal state.

Dasheng State is one of the 140 vassal states canonized when the Dali Dynasty was first established, although it is not the top batch, but it is not something that Dacang Kingdom can hurt the fundamentals.

Even if it is a victory, it is a pyrrhic victory, and both sides lose.

He asked Ji Ling'er to find the recent excerpts of the Ministry of Commerce, and at the same time looked through the previous reports of the Ministry of Industry.

I found that the sales of books have dropped a lot, and they are decreasing day by day.

This would have been a normal trend, meaning that the market tends to be semi-saturated.

However, judging from the newspapers, there was a period of time when the sales of books fell very quickly, and the sales of paper did not decrease because of this.

In those days, it was the time when large-scale copyists appeared in Dasheng Kingdom!

Obviously, a large part of the orders were stolen by Dashengguo's pirated books.

"Since you want to play, then I'll have fun with you!"

Yang Mu's eyes burst out with a cold color, and then he wrote a holy decree, asking the Ministry of Commerce to lower the price of books, from the original one or two pieces of silver to three hundred yuan a piece, and the price of white paper was reduced to one hundred yuan a piece!

At the same time, all payments were required to be offset by goods to increase the proportion of horses.

In the afternoon of the same day, the news of the decree was in an uproar.

Books, 300 texts!

Paper, 100 texts!

Compared to the previous price, it can be said that there is a heaven and an underground!

For a while, the businessmen from all over the world who got the news regretted it, and many people were directly trembling with anger, and their faces were pale.

Because a few days ago, they were still embarrassed in front of the officials of the Ministry of Commerce, thinking that they had found another source of goods, and they didn't have to rely on others anymore.

But in the blink of an eye, another source of goods was scrapped.

Why?

For example, it takes three to five days for a scribe to copy a qualified book, and the labor cost of literacy is very high, plus the cost of materials, the production cost of each "Fable" is about 200 yuan.

These merchants, for 300 yuan a piece, bought a large number of books from the book copying workshop in Dasheng Kingdom!

I thought I could make a lot of money.

But now, Cangguo's books are also sold for 300 yuan a piece!

At the same price, where can those pirated books survive?

If you can't sell it, even if it's scrapped, or you can sell it at a very low price.

Loss of bleeding!
