If the silk is also broken, don't you want foreign taxes?

"If Your Highness is interested at this time, it is better to hear about this silk matter. The dispute between the Silk Chamber of Commerce and the Tea Chamber of Commerce over the mountains is just a trivial matter. The real controversy is the dispute between silk, wool, cotton and linen. ”

Hearing Fang Xuanling say this, Li Yuanxing said that market competition is very normal.

Fang Xuanling didn't say any more, but gave Gao Jian a look.

"Your Highness, things are extremely troublesome. The orders received by the Department of Foreign Commerce, which have not yet been delivered, are 1,380,000 zhang of coarse flannel, 59,800 pieces of fine white linen, 336,400 pieces of burlap, 280,000 pieces of mixed fine silk, 56,000 pieces of medium silk, 66,000 pieces of fine silk, 17,000 horses of fine silk, and 13,000 pieces of edelweiss. ”

Listening to Gao Jian's words, Li Yuanxing said in his heart that with such a large order volume, what else are they fighting for.

Fang Xuanling said at this time:

"Your Highness, silk is now divided into five grades and nine grades, with a total of fifty-four grades. The highest grade is flawless cloud brocade and super grade, and the lowest grade is mixed silk. According to the Commercial Division's survey, this grade refers to those silks that have been mishandled, woven with the thinnest weaves. ”

Fang Xuanling also went on to say how many grades and grades of linen cloth there were. There is also a detailed division of wool fabrics and so on.

"Fang Gong! Getting to the point! Li Yuanxing couldn't help but interrupt Fang Xuanling.

"Your Highness, the Silk Chamber of Commerce has written that they have no silk. The linen and cotton chamber of commerce also said that they had no more linen. The wool chamber of commerce told a certain directly. Unless they ramp up their wool purchases, they're going to stop working. By the end of the year, up to 800 horses can be made, and if you want to weave, there is no wool. ”

Haha!

Li Yuanxing said loudly.

"Representatives of these chambers of commerce may be in the house, let them in."

Li Yuanxing only then reacted that the competition between them is not market competition, but the intention to push the export part to other chambers of commerce, and now they are actually fighting for the share of raw materials.

Eight people came in. Li Yuanxing, the leader, has seen it many times. It is Li Huishou of the Chang'an Brocade Chamber of Commerce.

Li Yuanxing motioned for them to sit down, and immediately asked:

"Is the Brocade Chamber of Commerce emptying your inventory of old goods? I'm afraid that the stock of new goods is 30,000 or 50,000 horses, and the price given by the merchants on the Western Turk side is not much different from what you want. How much is the difference between the sales profit here in Chang'an and selling to the Western Regions? ”

Li Yuanxing's series of questions stunned everyone.

Li Huishou, who was about to sit down, hurriedly walked a few steps to the middle and bowed: "Your Highness is wise." ”

Straighten up. 李会首 says:

"The inventory of our old goods was released two months ago. All the brocade silk firms in the entire Datang are in stock of old goods. Plus I don't use more than a hundred horses. New goods are in stock. There are almost 3,000 horses of super third-grade Yunjin, which is the highest grade that can be produced now. There are 20,000 horses in stock of the first grade, and less than 2,000 horses are in the first class. If you want to find inventory under the first-class products, you can only go to each store. ”

"Go on! Sit down and talk slowly! ”

After Li Yuanxing gave the order, a guard immediately took a stool and put it next to Li Huishou.

"Your Highness, the price of the Great Food Merchant, its profit is already lower than the profit of the Chang'an store. A certain since he was sensible in the store with his grandfather, he managed the store when he was a teenager, and a few years ago he opened a new store in the East Market and went to manage it for a month, the largest store in the East Market, there were eighty-two guests a day, of which fifty-one people bought the goods, in addition to the wealthy everyone ordered, the most one day shipped one hundred and four horses! ”

Li Huishou seemed to be talking about the history of his shop, and his tone was very excited.

"Your Highness." Li Huishou suddenly knelt down, but Li Yuanxing was startled: "Your Highness, the Leminyuan store, there were 1,433 guests yesterday, and 6,800 horses were shipped. ”

Li Huishou's excited tone trembled: "Your Highness, I have a second-class silk in the store of Lemin Garden, and the profit is high, and it is sold to the Western Regions for one and a half times. I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, want to wear silk, and the people have the courage to ask His Highness to order the goods of the Western Regions to be cut off. ”

Li Yuanxing felt strange in his heart: "You get up first." This king asks you, if the second-class silk king remembers correctly, the shipment price of Chang'an to foreign countries is about 80 yuan, and after deducting 30% of the tariff, there should be almost 60 yuan. That's right, that's right! ”

"Your Highness, the price of silk in Chang'an City is one hundred yuan, and you can sell as many as you want. The wages of silk weavers in Chang'an have increased tenfold compared with before, and the income of silk farmers has increased fivefold because of the more refined requirements of silk raw materials, and the silk raw materials have also increased by more than four times. The workshop land, the shop can no longer be a simple house like before, each shop is only more refined and gorgeous. The wages of the guys in the shop have increased by seven or eight times. Chang'an's various expenses have increased significantly! ”

Li Yuanxing understood that this was normal inflation, and the price of luxury goods had risen.

More of a reason is that there are fewer goods.

Li Huishou was pulled up by Li Yuanxing's personal guards.

"Your Highness, originally a piece of silk was two to three pieces of money. This is the most haode. But now this kind of silk is only a third-class five or six goods, and the cost of such silk is almost two or three dollars, plus freight, store profits, and taxes. If you don't have the price of six dollars, you will definitely lose money. ”

Li Yuanxing did the math, not too much.

"But the foreign merchants are becoming more and more cunning, and the second-class and fifth-class products are shipped to Yizhou, which is about 200 yuan. It's a long way to go, and the risk is not worth it. Shipped in Chang'an, it is really not cost-effective to sell sixty guan, plus an overprint, that is, the cost of each horse plus consistently to three guan, but you can produce a first-class low-grade rainbow silk, Chang'an's market price is ninety guan, this is about to be the New Year, yesterday's price is already one hundred and a hundred consistent money, and how many are sold? ”

Li Yuanxing figured out that businessmen are profitable.

When he saw that it was not profitable to do business with strangers, he did not plan to do it.

Merchants don't care about their allies or friendships.

Li Yuanxing sighed softly:

"The people of the Turde, the Khitan, and the Murwei. There are also many tribes in the Eastern Turks, who always contribute to the Tang Dynasty. In particular, the three tribes such as the Yan Ya are loyal to the Tang Dynasty. Their goods can't be broken! ”

"The inventory we left behind is for them. It's just that there are no ordinary goods anymore. ”

Li Yuanxing nodded slightly:

"Okay, this king will approve your opinion, the Western Regions will be out of stock for a year. Let's see how it goes, and then we'll talk about the next year. The purchase of wool is no longer limited, but merchants are not allowed to collect wool by themselves, wool merchants go to buy it in the military department, this king only said one sentence, this is related to the strategy of the Tang Dynasty against the Turks, not much to say! ”

"Your Highness!"

Li Yuanxing waved his hand and signaled that the people from the Chamber of Commerce could retreat.

Although Li Huishou and the others were full of awe on their faces, they were smiling in their hearts. In fact, there is another algorithm for the account, if you don't give goods to foreign business companies, they can get the money back immediately. The money circulates quickly, which is also a kind of profit, in fact, Li Huishou told Li Yuanxing a lie.

His interest in selling in the store was not one and a half times higher than selling to the Western Regions.

But it's only half a percent, which is a huge amount of money for huge sales.

Li Yuanxing held his chin and said slowly:

"The price of silk is inflated, compared to selling it to people from the Western Regions. Datang has collected at least 500,000 yuan less in taxes, and the people have spent a lot more. Gao Shangshu, although there is nothing wrong with businessmen chasing profits, such a price makes the people of Chang'an spend a lot of money! ”

"Your Highness, if there is no goods in the two cities, the price will naturally rise. Scarcity is expensive! If the goods in the two cities of Chang'an are forcibly cut off and the goods are sold to foreign countries, I am afraid that no one in the Holy City will have a way to explain. The people want to celebrate the New Year, the people need some gorgeous belongings, the price of jewelry has also risen by almost two percent, and shoes and hats have also risen by more than three percent! ”

When Fang Xuanling said this, Li Yuanxing understood.

The market determines everything, and the state's regulation may also be excessively contrary to the market.

"That's it, this king wants to cut off the tea of the Western Turks, originally to embarrass the Western Turks. Now it seems that this is an embarrassment for my Datang, Datang's wealth is not enough for the people of Datang, and this matter must be reported to Tianyingge. The first is to ask for food, the second is to work, and the third is to make the people of Datang not have money and nowhere to buy what they want! ”

"By the order of His Highness!" Wei Zheng stood up and responded.

Li Yuanxing stood up:

"This king thinks that Gaochang is ambitious. Since all kinds of goods in Datang are not enough to supply the people of Datang. Then the king decided that from now until May of next year, all the caravans would be diverted to Liaodong and no longer to the west. From now on, Datang will not accept any orders from merchants in the Western Regions! ”

"Your Highness think twice!"

Gao Jian was frightened, you must know that the business of the Silk Road has been cut off, and the domestic demand of Datang is huge at the moment, so he can't see the problem. But what about later.

Li Yuanxing shook his head gently: "This king has already thought twice, break!" ”

Li Yuanxing was really ruthless.

Gao Jian wanted to persuade again, but Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Gao Shangshu, the merchants of the Western Regions must be more anxious than you. ”

"This ......" Gao Jian was said by Wei Zheng and began to reflect.

Wei Zheng said again: "Gaochang stuck our Datang caravan and collected heavy taxes. Now that it has suddenly been halved, none of our businessmen in Datang will go to Gaochang anymore, and I don't know what Gaochang people will think. And the Western Turks will be even more chaotic, because there is suddenly a large amount of food in the west, and the merchants of Daqin are waiting for the goods of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Yuanxing smiled slightly: "Wei Changshi, order all checkpoints." Those who transport goods out of the customs without permission will be severely fined! ”

"Your Highness, there are still some details that need to be discussed, and we will report to Your Highness for decision after discussion!" Cui Dunli also thinks that it can be stuck, but it can't be so one-size-fits-all, even if it is one-size-fits-all, there must be a reasonable explanation.

After Cui Dunli and the others went to the conference room, Li Yuanxing lit a cigarette and thought about Li Huidao's words in his heart. The heart said that it was very evil, and there would be a rush to buy, because there were too few materials, or the people of Chang'an were rich. (To be continued......)

PS: Hah,

I suddenly remembered that there had been many times before when the chapter names were wrong.

It seems that the light of the great gods will take a few more days.

Actually, I'm looking forward to it!
