Zhu Youzhen, who came back from the Royal Academy of Sciences, did not rest, but turned his head to find Xu Guangqi.

"The Daming State Administration of Industry is not only about protecting steel at the moment, Wang Yisi is also very important, and I am ready to open the first industrial textile royal enterprise in the Beijing-Tianjin Industrial Park on a pilot basis."

"Textile?" Xu Guangqi thought for a while, but still responded with some doubts.

"Yes, this textile thing can be described as very profitable, I don't know if Aiqing has investigated how much silver it will cost if the people of Daming want to make a dress?"

Xu Guangqi hesitated.." The minister's wife seems to have made a set of summer clothes for the minister a few days ago, and if she didn't use silk and just cotton and linen mixed clothes, she had to count two pieces of silver..."

"That's right! Herein lies the problem! Zhu Youjian's eyes glowed.

"My Royal Bureau of Statistics has done a survey, and the annual output of cotton and linen in Daming is actually not low, but why has the price of cotton and linen products in this market remained high? One of the key points is in the backwardness of the textile process, before the manual spinning thread is not only difficult to process, low output, but also often due to uneven thickness in the weaving of the thread. ”

"And the new spinning machines and new looms that the Royal Academy of Sciences is now making will use the second-generation steam engine as the power source, and I will show you the cloth they send."

While speaking, Zhu Youzhen took a cotton cloth from the side that had been prepared and sent by the Royal Academy of Sciences in advance.

"This... This is produced by a steam engine? ”

Xu Guangqi took the cotton cloth in his hand and said in disbelief.

"Exactly! If we can weave in Beijing and Tianjin, it is not far from the Mongolians, and we can sell it through the means of the royal trading house in the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, we can also use the geographical advantages to export overseas or sell to the Mongolians. ”

"The Mongols are not all .."

"You're saying the Mongols don't all use wool for warmth, do you?"

"That's exactly what the minister is going to say."

Zhu Youzhen shook his head with a smile.

"It is difficult to obtain cloth on the grassland, the cloth on weekdays is not cheap, and if you travel a long distance to send it to the grassland, it will be countless times more expensive, and it is no longer something that ordinary herdsmen can afford. That's why they use sheepskins, and the wool of the steppe is something that no one wants. ”

"Nobody wants wool?" Xu Guangqi was puzzled.

"Hmm... As far as I know, there is almost more wool on this grassland than there is grass on the grassland, and the grassland herders also have a headache when the sheep lose their hair in summer, and this new spinning machine can not only make cotton and linen into yarn, but more importantly, it also has a good spinning effect on wool."

"Take back the wool from the prairie?" Xu Guangqi is not a fool, and when he heard this, he naturally understood Zhu Youzhen's intentions.

Industrialization is about to begin, and Zhu Youzhen, who is well aware of the intensity of industrial production, is eager to open an external channel for his goods.

Why are there always wars and chaos in later generations?

In fact, a very important problem is that highly industrialized countries often produce goods that are difficult to achieve a good price advantage at home.

Abroad, countries with a less industrialized degree often become dumping grounds for their goods.

But even though the degree of industrialization is weak, it is also a country, and there is a ruling monarch.

It is definitely not okay for you to come in and sell things without saying hello, not to mention the dumping of industrial products at such a low price according to the basic economic law.

will deal a devastating blow to the industrial germination and initial development of the dumped area, and such damage is usually irreversible.

People who have enjoyed low-priced industrial products for a long time will not accept the price increase of daily necessities again.

But there are still countries that do not want to become such a dumping ground without resistance...

So..

The advanced industrial countries can only wield the hammer of justice.

The market for goods was opened by military means.

This is also Zhu Youzhen also wants to try the way, if it can be through, the future of the Ming Dynasty goods will be unimperhelmed to the Ming Empire at the same time, will also bring unimaginable wealth to the Ming Empire, with the continuous accumulation of wealth, military strength will also continue to enhance on this basis.

With industrialization as the foundation, Zhu Youzhen's ambition will gradually expand more and more.

"It's naturally very good that Xu Aiqing can understand, and I will appoint you to communicate with the Daming Royal Auction House on this matter."

Although most of today's Daming Royal Auction Houses have been restructured into Daming Royal Bank, which is blooming everywhere in Daming, it does not mean that this business path has been completely cut off.

At present, Zhu Youzhen wants to establish a relationship with the Mongols through the most basic commercial means, collect wool spinning and weaving cloth from the grassland at a low price, and then sell it overseas.

After all, the Mongols are not fools either.

When profits are so huge, people often lose themselves, and Zhu Youzhen didn't want to attack the already weakened Mongols for such reasons.

The blood of the Golden Family is like an eagle on the grassland.

It's just that now the eagle seems to be driven from the south and chased from the east.

Because of the dependence on the Ming Dynasty commodities and the fear of the border passes of the Ming Dynasty, they did not dare to attack south, and the key Ming Dynasty was still eroding their living space.

The east side can't beat the limelight Houjin...

Mongolia.. Bitter!

"The minister will definitely do this properly with the Ming Royal Auction House, but I don't know if this time I will use my Ming Empire's new silver coins as the transaction currency?"

Zhu Youzhen said angrily at this time: "Not only to promote our Ming silver coins, but more importantly, to promote our goods to the Mongols through such an opportunity, I have not obtained enough war horses from them for a long time, regardless of whether it is cattle, sheep or horses!" Even if the grassland raised donkeys this year, they were all driven back by me! ”

"The words of the commodity. Pottery, porcelain, tea, cloth, silk, and even iron pots and ironware could be sold to the Mongols! ”

Xu Guangqi was a little puzzled and a little surprised at the same time.

"Your Majesty . . . This iron tool in case.."

"Don't worry, no amount of ordinary iron sold in the past will not affect my Heavenly Tiger Army to beat them with new rifles and artillery! How? As the person in charge of the Artillery Division, you Xu Guangqi are also afraid of this! ”

Hearing what Zhu Youzhen said, Xu Guangqi did not twist.

Then he smiled heartily.

"The minister is naturally confident in what the minister is currently doing, but at the moment, the Royal General Bureau of Industry is still short of manpower."

"This thing. . . I will allow you to draw some people from the Ministry of Industry and the General Bureau of Ordnance... I'm afraid that Xue Fengxiang won't be finished with you when the time comes.."

"Hey, hey.. There is the emperor's words.. Lord Xue naturally won't embarrass me.." Xu Guangqi rolled his eyes, and the abacus had already started.
