Chapter 928 - Free Regulation
When Li Ke said these prices, everyone took a deep breath.
This price is too low, especially since His Highness has to raise the price of raw materials, that is, to ensure that the majority of the people have profits.
Under such circumstances, His Highness will certainly not allow them to arbitrarily raise prices and earn higher profits.
"So, ladies and gentlemen, people like this need to be priced by the Ministry of Commerce in the future."
"Of course, Datang will not compete with the people for profit, you are also the people, how to set the price is your freedom." Li Ke said lightly, Li Ke did not mention the matter of the Price Bureau, in fact, if Datang establishes the Price Bureau now, it will not be a difficult matter.
Anyway, the six ministries have been reformed into the current state, and it is not difficult to have an additional price bureau or simply an additional development and reform department.
But the rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, anyway, there are not many commodities in Datang now, and the Ministry of Commerce will set a basic price for the time being, and the rest will be handed over to the market.
As for price control, for the time being, Datang's state-owned commercial banks are responsible for regulating and controlling.
For example, Tang Grain Storage was responsible for the work of stabilizing grain prices, and if the grain harvest fell too hard, he would buy a large amount of grain from all parts of the country, and if the grain price was too high and there were merchants with strange goods to live in, he would directly release grain.
In the next few years or even decades, Datang will not have too many natural disasters, and these times are the best time for Datang to reserve grain.
As long as there is enough grain for the people of the whole country to eat for one year, or even two years, then it is impossible for grain prices to collapse.
The most important thing is that in the future, with the continuous expansion of Datang's land area and the richer terrain and climate, Datang's ability to resist risks will be stronger!
For example, there is a drought in the north, but it is impossible to drought in the southeast Huazhou regions such as Linyi and Zhenwax in the future, and the grain in these places is naturally guaranteed to be abundant.
For example, if there is a locust plague in some places, locust plague is easy to occur in the China continent region, but the Central Plains and other areas of the Tang Dynasty may not have a locust plague, so the risk of fighting the entire grain will naturally be greatly enhanced.
It's not just food, it's the same in pastoral areas, as the saying goes, the family has a lot of money, and the hairy ones don't count. Plagues such as cattle and sheep or snow disasters can easily lead to the death of cattle and sheep in large quantities, as long as there are enough pastoral areas in Datang, the risk of losses caused by these disasters is not large.
Li Ke's words made the people below ponder, the price is up to them? In other words, His Royal Highness only protects the interests of the people who are responsible for the production of basic materials, which is in line with His Highness's reform arrangements for the Tang Dynasty.
They don't have a problem with that.
Or to be more precise, even if they have an opinion, they can only have no opinion, and their opinion is no longer important.
If you want to survive in Datang, you can only follow the path of His Highness now, because it is impossible for these gate valve families to be completely united.
The various gate valve families in Lingnan Road have stood on the same line with His Royal Highness King Qin, and the investment of Lizhigang is known to all the gate valve families in the entire Datang.
And they all know the terrain near Lizhi Port, that place doesn't need to think about it to know what the future looks like, as long as the investment will not be lost, even hundreds of years of foundation, who can refuse such an industry.
But if you dare to object, then the King of Qin will have a way to find an excuse to directly take back the entire Lizhi Port.
In addition to Lizhi Port, others such as Yuzhang Port, Baling Peninsula and so on are said to have begun to attract investment from all over the country.
These ports will inevitably have a large number of families to invest, as long as the families who have invested in these assets will not be able to oppose His Royal Highness King Qin.
And as His Royal Highness said, the textile industry is very important in the entire Datang, and every household is involved, the earliest is because silk silk is money in Datang, so every household has it.
However, His Royal Highness King Qin has reformed the currency system of Datang in the past two years, and even made a new legal reform at this year's Zhongshu Confidential Conference, that is, Datang has its own legal tender, and any other currency is prohibited from circulation.
Under the new currency system, although various industries such as silk and silk also have profits, the profits are not large, because the demand for silk silk in Datang is actually not so high.
Of course, if it weren't for His Highness's trade with other countries, so many silk silks in Datang would not be able to be consumed.
And now, the cost of silk silk has been reduced to this point, although the price is set by themselves, but there must be a problem in this.
No one is a fool, Your Highness said, brand new spinning machines, looms, etc. can be sold, that is to say, they can buy machines, the question is that even if the cost of your production is the same as that produced by Your Highness, how much can your price increase?
It is impossible to sell it at the previous price. Because don't forget, Your Highness also has a weaving factory in your hands, if Your Highness sells 100 Wen a horse, then you tell me that they sell 200 Wen and anyone buys it?
Apparently not, so this price seems to be a free price in the market, but in fact, as long as there are also factories in the hands of His Highness, their price cannot be much higher.
At most, His Royal Highness has a weaving factory in Chang'an, which sells 100 wen a horse, and they have a factory in Yizhou, which can sell 120 wen locally, which is the profit of multiple freight.
It's no longer possible to get the same high profits as before.
Even whether the price can be sold for 120 wen a piece of cloth is unknown.
"These fabrics will have a factory price at that time, if you want to buy it, you can go directly to the relevant industry to buy, if you want to set up your own weaving factory, the spinning factory can also directly contact the machinery factory to buy the relevant machine."
"If you have any questions, you can consult with the relevant people after the fashion meeting is over." Li Ke said with a smile.
After the end of the speech, Li Ke left temporarily, and it is estimated that these people will have a lot of problems in the future, such as the sale of looms and spinning machines, and a considerable part of these gate valve families will definitely invest a lot of money in them.
The profit of the first batch of machines is very high, or very high, and the reason why the price is so high is naturally to suck up the cash in the hands of these gate valve families.
Li Ke had to make them understand that it was useless to bury the money.
In the past, these gate valve families liked to hide money, in fact, many times because they didn't have much to spend money on, just for personal enjoyment, there were not so many places to enjoy, and investment and other aspects could not be spent.
But now it's different, Li Ke has a way to make them spend money.
As long as the large amount of cash in their hands is spent and turned into fixed assets, they will enter the game when they need to start taking out loans in the future, whether they continue to invest or spend.
Because that means that their family assets and so on are already in the records of the imperial court.
