Chapter 126: Revisiting the Matter of Maritime Trade

Lin Yuzhi continued: "Needless to say, those traditional commodities that are well-known and famous, that is, the insignificant things of the mainland, are carried to the Fanjing, all of which are the same as the treasured shellfish, which are based on the coastal residents, the small skills of making small crafts, and the female red needlework, all of which are marketed by foreign ships, and collect 100,000 silver coins and goods from the islands into our Middle Earth, so as long as the imperial court vigorously supports the maritime trade, it will not only be able to influence the Oriental and Nanyang markets, but also will continue to play an important role in the international countries."

Lin Yuzhi said again, "As long as the goods imported into our dynasty do not exceed the output, this will not cause the dynasty to lose anything." The export of a large amount of commodities can not only stimulate the development of China's productive forces, help to increase production efficiency, and improve the means of production, but can also directly exchange a large amount of metal currency through maritime trade, so as to increase the circulation of China's commodities and constantly expand reproduction. This would have been a good thing that would have been of great benefit to the development of the people's livelihood in the DPRK. ”

"Why can't I understand what Yuzhi said? What exactly does Hayuki want to say? Is this a good thing for the country and the people? Cai Mao was really incomprehensible to Lin Yuzhi's modern expression, and asked.

"Don't hide it from Brother Zhongming, I have arranged for my subordinates to plant the grain we purchased last time in the suburbs of Beijing, and I have a hunch that this grain seed will be planted, and the grain output will increase significantly. The good reasons for promoting the development of our dynasty are the simple views of Yu Zhi: first, the foundation of people's livelihood is food, and second, the foundation of people's wealth is business. If we can solve the food problem of people's livelihood and let the poor people in the DPRK have enough food and clothing, if we want to seek further development, we need to start with commercial and trade circulation. Lin Yuzhi continued.

Cai Mao frowned and said, "Yu Zhi can just say sea trade, and Hugh will say anything else." ”

Lin Yuzhi knew that what he said was a bit excessive, and there were some things that he should not worry about now. Then he said, "Zhong Ming, just think, we take 10 taels of silver, transport it to Fanbang, turn around like this, sell it, and when we come back, we can exchange it for 100 taels worth of items or even more in my court, who do you say is more beneficial to this matter?" This trade is done by more people, and the circulation of trade can exchange more benefits for the people of our country, and our country can also increase tax revenue and generate income for the country. This is the simplest and most obvious function, as for the deeper things, it is not what Yu Zhi can spy on at this time! ”

In fact, Lin Yuzhi didn't know where he was, in his original era, there was a similar history, if the country was closed and overseas trade was banned, the disadvantages would be very serious, affecting the development process of the entire country, and the consequences would be unimaginable. It is better to block than to be sparse, which is also the ultimate reason for Lin Yuzhi's operation of sea trade. Do your best to change the DPRK's view of overseas trade and avoid the closure of the country in the future.

What Lin Yuzhi didn't know was that his subsequent measures led to a huge promotion and transformation of the wooden sailing boat manufacturing industry in the Dayong Dynasty. At the same time, the shipbuilding industry in the West has also developed rapidly with the full support of the government and the promotion of advanced technology. For example, Spain was the first to have 1,000 merchant ships of European standards, and later the Netherlands, known as the "coachman of the sea", the shipbuilding industry jumped to the first place in the world. Since then, the British Empire, which has risen rapidly, has been rampaging through the world's oceans with an innumerable fleet of ships and is determined to expand.

In terms of hull structure, Europe's "plywood ships" have sprung up. Its sturdiness is much higher than that of the wooden ships of the Yong Dynasty. He created the "Clavier" sail that had a strong wind drive and could be used in various winds, and later created the famous large ocean-going fast sailing ship with multiple eaves in the flying arrow style.

It is particularly worth pointing out that after the British Industrial Revolution in the last 100 years, with the advent of ships with steel hulls and steam engines as power, the world's maritime industry opened an epoch-making new page. In this strong contrast between the seafaring power of the East and the West, although China's small and medium-sized traditional sailing ships still have a certain strength in terms of total number and total tonnage, standing in the entire world shipping community to observe the problem, this "strength" or "development" has become "yesterday's yellow flower".

And all this world development, Lin Yuzhi at this time did not know at all, he was just a scholar trapped in the capital, and he did not have too high ambitions, just trying to move forward step by step.

There is a saying that life meets everywhere, which is really a magical word, as the storyteller said: There is no book without coincidence, and there is such a coincidence now.

Emperor Rongjing followed his last micro-service out of the palace and returned satisfied, in addition to being diligent in government, he also had many thoughts of going out of the palace again to understand the people's feelings, but he had not been able to make the trip, and he didn't want to see the two talents of Yuelu Academy again as soon as he left the palace today, and talked about maritime trade here.

The last time Emperor Rong Jing went out of the palace in a small suit, he was only in the elegant room, and he did not look at the two of them carefully, but only vaguely remembered that this Lin Yuzhi was extremely handsome, and this time it was only through the conversation between the two of them that he knew the identities of the two. Looking at these two people, they are both dignified, handsome, heroic, extraordinary, and Lin Yu's appearance is even more outstanding. Emperor Rong Jing slandered in his heart, such a son does have real talent and learning, and if he will try to perform well, it is also a good story to order a flower and the first.

Emperor Rong Jing listened attentively for a long time, about what they said about getting a ship to go to sea, Emperor Rong Jing felt that it was all a small matter, and the matter of one ship and two ships going to sea for trade would not have any impact in his opinion.

Regarding the matter of maritime trade, the ministers of the DPRK and China have different opinions, and there are many disputes, and the father and emperor have many repetitions on maritime trade, which is also caused by current events, and it is also summing up experience in order to improve. I also have some calculations in my heart about this matter, because I am also more inclined to expand overseas trade, but many former courtiers and old ministers in the DPRK and China, according to the old practice of the previous dynasty, there are many voices opposing the reform of maritime trade. Therefore, this matter is still in accordance with the old practice, and I have not freed up my hands to deal with this matter rashly, and it still takes time and opportunity.

But for the grain planting that Lin Yu brought with him, he heard it in his ears. Unexpectedly, this son still paid attention to the people's livelihood and farming, and personally arranged the purchase of grain seeds for planting, which is very rare. It is necessary to know that the country is people-oriented, the people take food as the sky, and grain planting is the top priority of people's livelihood! Listening to his tone, he seems to be very optimistic about this grain species, since no matter what the output of this grain is, this heart for the welfare of the people, has been rare, if he can become an official, he should be a capable minister who pays attention to the people's livelihood.

When I was in the submersible house, I also cultivated the land, personally farmed and planted, and experienced the people's livelihood, so I have a good impression of this kind of person who is close to farming, and I will prefer it more.

After getting into the carriage back to the palace, Emperor Rongjing smiled and said to Chang Quan, who was setting up the car, "I didn't expect this kid to read well, and he can write books, I don't want to care about farming, and engage in experimental farming, yes, promising, haha." ”
