The silk of ancient China is one of the best-selling commodities in the world.
Together with porcelain and tea, it is known as the three treasures that our country has given to the world.
But Liu Mingqi feels that the ramie clothes we still have are seriously underestimated.
People living in subtropical and tropical areas have a huge demand for this kind of ramie clothes.
Ramie clothes in particular are relatively simple to make and much cheaper than silk, so they are easier to sell.
Of course, it is not targeted at the slaves and poor people, but at the middle class of the entire world.
For example, small landowners, small businessmen, small workshop owners, small noblesetc.
???????? These people have a very strong combined spending power.
¡°After all, the whole family has to wear it, and they won¡¯t just wear one piece, and the style must be novel, and they may need to change it every year.
Yes.
From here, you can also know that Liu Mingqi will not sell any low-level processed products - linen to these people.
Anyone who has come from modern times knows that only by making finished products can you earn more money and eat the fattest piece of meat in the supply chain.
He will ask those businessmen to open clothing workshops one by one in Dakang, send them orders, and let them take the initiative to design various trendy clothes, and then purchase them back and sell them overseas.
This is to build a complete industrial chain.
An industry with a complete industrial chain is the prerequisite for foreign dumping.
Our silk, porcelain and tea industries are a complete industrial chain and cannot be replaced by others, so they have become our flagship products.
Liu Mingqi wishes that the more complete industrial chains like this, the better, so that it can bring more income to Dakang, make the people richer, and the court can collect more taxes.
This is not a boy¡¯s blind self-confidence.
After receiving the ramie clothes from his classmates, he went to check and found that 90% of the linen produced by the ramie plant is produced in my country.
This means that we have the innate conditions for monopoly.
¡°Otherwise, Liu Mingqi wouldn¡¯t want to play such a big game of chess.
If others can produce this thing, then a fierce price war will come, and no one will be able to take advantage.
??For example, oil in later generations.
"If the United States hadn't controlled the global settlement system and used force to intimidate the world, what price would Iran and Venezuela charge for their oil?
¡¡
Of course, ramie is only suitable for the south, especially the hot sides of the equator.
For most people in temperate zones and northern cold zones, cotton-padded clothes are more suitable.
Nowadays, there are cotton-padded clothes in Dakang, but most of them are kapok, and most of the cotton wool in these kapok fruits is used as bedding filling, and it is not very practical to stuff it into the fabric.
For example, there are no truly textile cotton-padded clothes in later generations, because kapok is not suitable for spinning.
That¡¯s why so many people were killed and injured during the super heavy snowstorm last year. If it weren¡¯t for briquettes, the death toll would have increased several times.
What Dakang lacks now is the cotton tree, the annual herbaceous plant we often see.
??Every year during harvest, the cotton bolls on the cotton tree will burst open, revealing the snow-white cotton inside. This cotton is picked, spun into thread, and then woven into cotton cloth.
Can you see it now?
Textile textile, these are two steps, and they are also the most critical steps.
But the first point is to grow cotton.
According to Liu Mingqi¡¯s understanding, there is no cotton in the Central Plains.
He sent people to Hainan to ask, but there was none there.
This makes people feel very headache.
After all, cotton should have been promoted in Hainan during the Song Dynasty. It was there that Huang Daopo learned the technology of planting cotton trees, and then learned the steps of spinning and weaving, thus bringing cotton and technology back to his hometown of Songjiang Prefecture .
Then Songjiang Prefecture¡¯s cotton developed rapidly and became the country¡¯s textile center.
The Jiangning Weaving House in the Ming and Qing Dynasties specialized in the production of silk and cotton.
Now, the Jiangning Weaving House and Suzhou Weaving House in Dakang only manage silk production.
Liu Mingqi thought that Hainan was his cotton rear area. The local Li people had been cultivating textiles, but they had not yet been learned by the Han people.
&nb?? "
Looking at his expectant eyes, Liu Mingqi hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "It might be difficult."
"How could it happen?" Liu Mingjing was anxious, "Shouldn't I be rewarded? Otherwise I won't go out!"
"The nature of the two is different. One is to do business, and the other is to open up new territories. Do you think they can give this honor to you?" Liu Mingqi asked.
"But the only time in my life that I have the chance to gain the merit of opening up new territories is this time!" Liu Mingjing said a little anxiously, "Don't you give me any chance at all?"
"You can only bargain with them at that time." Liu Mingqi said thoughtfully, "It all depends on your status and role in this horse buying operation If you have to do it, then we can put forward conditions. "
"Um!"
Liu Mingjing looked at him and wanted to speak, but did not say anything.
The young man smiled when he saw this, "Don't worry! We will advance and retreat together, and we will fulfill your wish even if we live or die. Just think of it as my wedding gift to you!"
In fact, this is what Liu Mingjing wanted to say just now.
But he also felt that dragging Liu Mingqi down because of his own affairs was not good and seemed very unkind.
I didn¡¯t expect that Liu Mingqi would say it directly and neatly now. What a deep brotherhood!
"Wow¡¡"
Liu Mingjing immediately stepped forward and hugged him tightly, trembling with excitement: "Mingqi! You are really my biological father!!"
"Get out!!"
The young man didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry.
