The hardest thing in life is that you have a lot of production capacity, but when you look around, all you see are a bunch of poor people who can't afford your things. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis situation has long been encountered by many people in Datang, which is why Bai Nan advocated exporting various industrial technologies to European countries to develop their manufacturing capabilities and markets. Because for a mature economy with rapid development like Datang, the more backward the country is, the less able it is to provide enough economic benefits for Datang.

Even if the Datang military industrial enterprises do not earn high profits and sell more conscientiously, they are also unaffordable for European countries, which is the gap between the degree of development and economic strength, so it is particularly helpless.

Fortunately, Datang still has its own homeland and many overseas territories, and domestic demand is the main driving force of Datang's economy. The continuous development of a large number of industrial products is in demand, and domestic economic exchanges are more important than foreign trade. Moreover, Datang also pays special attention to cultivating the market of the Qing Dynasty, a country with a population of 300 million, although the economic model of Datang has been disintegrated by various means of boiling frogs in warm water, but the same base is here, and the consumption power is also considerable.

At a time when Europe was in chaos and at war, it was difficult for Datang trade to expand further in Europe. In fact, the trade of almost all European countries was affected, because the trade between the Tang Dynasty and some countries tended to be interrupted because of the war. The war naturally brought about a dramatic increase in the export of some trade goods, such as grain. During the French Revolution, the peasants had no intention of farming, and France had to rely on large quantities of grain imports to maintain its food demand.

American merchant Walker crossed the Atlantic from the southern part of the United States to the French port of Brest with several ships of grain. Walker was not a farmer, but a maritime merchant. His job is to procure a few goods that he thinks are valuable and then ship them to other places to sell, earning the difference.

After the outbreak of the French Revolutionary War, Walker saw a business opportunity. However, because the British Royal Navy was cruising the Atlantic at that time, intercepting all merchant ships bound for France, Walker, who was worried about the disaster, did not act. After the Battle of England, Walker saw the news of Britain's withdrawal from the war in the newspapers, rejoiced, found a familiar farmer, bought a large amount of grain, and prepared to make a fortune in France.

His nephew McPherson came out with him to go through the training, the young McPherson had just graduated from Harvard College in Massachusetts, and he studied law, and now is the time when he needs to be knowledgeable, any lawyer needs to experience the world and see people's hearts, and Walker hopes that his nephew will be able to enter politics in the future, which will also be good for his career development.

McPherson smiled and said to his uncle: "Now that the price of food in France has risen to the sky, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money this time." ”

Walker also thought so, he laughed and said: "Yes, the current business is really not good, and Tang Shang has a strong influence in many places." Over the years, a considerable part of our trade in the United States has been controlled by them. Textile owners in the northern states buy cotton, and some people actually buy cotton from Tang Pengzhou instead of Georgian cotton under tariffs. And there are a lot of goods made by the northerners, and it is not so easy to sell them, there are too many kinds of goods from Datang, and many of them also enjoy price advantages, so they can't compete at all. ”

McPherson also studied trade, and in fact, many courses at Harvard College were influenced by Datang education, and many textbooks from Datang became textbooks at American universities such as Harvard College after being translated or even untranslated. In the United States, every university will offer Tang language courses, because to learn the most advanced knowledge of the moment, you can only obtain it by reading Chinese materials, and American scholars generally believe that if an intellectual does not understand Chinese, then it is difficult to achieve too high a level.

McPherson said: "Datang's industrial production is not only more technological, but also has the advantage of scale. Many of the companies are large state-owned enterprises with tens of thousands of employees, and the factories in the north are not as good as those in the north. Once the scale of the enterprise is huge, there is a scale effect of production, and the cost is reduced accordingly, so many goods, even if there are tariffs, are actually cheaper than products produced in the United States. What's more, there are many commodities that the United States cannot produce itself, and can only be imported. ”

McPherson changed his words and said: "It's just that this is extremely detrimental to our economic and trade development, and since independence, the United States has always played the role of a dumping ground for Datang's commodities. Although Datang has made great efforts in the process of our independence, and has also spread a lot of technology, in the long run, the United States is no different from an overseas territory of Datang. Therefore, those people in the Republican Party are now vigorously propagating the implementation of stricter trade protectionism, and all goods that the United States can produce itself will impose protective tariffs on similar Datang goods. ”

His uncle Walker shook his head and said: "This is unlikely, although our president, Mr. Jefferson, is a Republican, but it is said that he is an old friend of the Tang people, and the influence of the Tang Dynasty is huge, and the Tang people who promote free trade cannot accept our implementation of trade protectionism." France opened up trade with Datang, so Datang supported France, and Britain has been resisting the inflow of Datang goods for a long time, so Britain has been attacked by the Tang people three or four times. Moreover, as far as the situation in the United States is concerned, the merchants are not monolithic, nor are the North and the South monolithic, and everyone is at odds. On the one hand, the factory owners hated the competition of Datang goods, but on the other hand, they wanted to get cheap Datang industrial raw materials. Farmers in Virginia and Georgia hate Datang's competition for agricultural products, but they also don't want the price of fertilizer and other agricultural materials from Datang to increase. Moreover, many plantation owners have switched to planting cash crops purchased by the Tang people for the sake of profit, and if protective trade is adopted, Datang will definitely take retaliatory measures, and these farmers will also suffer. Of course, I think the most important point is that the agents will wave their money, and politicians will have to look at the faces of the richest guys if they want to be elected. And the US-Tang trade turmoil is directly affected by these people, and they will do everything possible to prevent the United States from adopting trade protectionism. ”

McPherson sighed: "Uncle you are right, those capitalists do not care about the national interests of the United States and the future ...... of the Americans for their own profits" (to be continued. )
