Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wang Shouren has a huge headache, and the textile industry is of great concern.

    Although the Ming Empire is developing rapidly and a large number of emerging industries are rising, the textile industry is still a very important industry and field.

    "If Liu Jin were here, he would definitely be able to think of a way to deal with it."

    Wang Shouren thought of Liu Jin again.

    There are very few people who can admire Wang Shouren, and Liu Jin is one of them.

    Wang Shouren admired Liu Jin's talent, character and other aspects very much. Especially when Wang Shouren reached the position of chief minister of the cabinet, he was more able to understand the decisions and systems that Liu Jin had made before.  How useful and wise.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Therefore, underground officials will find ways to do many things well, such as building bridges and paving roads, attracting investment, etc. In the past, these officials under their command would not only be doing nothing, but also only want to help themselves.  Forming factions, building relationships, intrigues, etc.

    When the whole court revolves around these things, it not only delays important national events, but also greatly consumes the energy of the main decision-makers such as the emperor, cabinet ministers, and six ministers, leaving them no time and energy to  Real thinking concerns the major events and direction of the entire country.

    ¡°Whether you say Liu Jin is lazy or smart, under Liu Jin¡¯s system, there are actually not many things that need to be dealt with by the cabinet every day. It¡¯s all big things that lead to this.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The memorials such as flattering the horse with a beard and asking for condolences have been greatly reduced, and have almost disappeared. The content written is also as concise and concise as possible, and it is no longer like the smelly and long foot wraps of a dead woman.

    Wang Shouren thought of Liu Jin and how he would handle the current affairs if Liu Jin were in this position.

    "Perhaps I should send a telegram to Liu Jin. I wonder where Liu Jin is going sightseeing now?"

    "He is really good at choosing the right time. At this critical moment, he resigned from his job and went sightseeing. I, an old man in his sixties, was working hard here, and he, a man in his fifties, actually started to travel.  It¡¯s time to play with mountains and rivers.¡±

    "His life plan is really unexpected!"

    Thinking of Liu Jin, Wang Shouren couldn't help but shake his head. This Liu Jin always did things that people couldn't even imagine.

    If it were anyone else, in his fifties and in good health, he would definitely continue to work as the chief minister of the cabinet.

    What's more, the emperor trusted Liu Jin very much, so there was no reason to resign.

    But Liu Jin is not an ordinary person, and his life plan is different from others.

    Whether he knows how to retreat from the rapids or how to enjoy life, in short, Liu Jin is so unique. He began to travel around the world and enjoy life in his fifties.

    As for power, he put it down as soon as he said it was put down, so simply and readily, without any nostalgia. Even after resigning, Liu Jin was indifferent to the affairs of the government and the public, and he did not give himself as an old man.  A friend writes a letter or something.

    You have to send telegrams and letters to Liu Jin yourself. If other people know about it, they will think that you and Liu Jin are at odds with each other. There is no correspondence between them

    While Wang Shouren was worrying about the impending thunderstorm in the textile industry and thinking hard about how to deal with it, on the other side, at Wangyue Tower in the capital, many leaders in the textile industry of Ming Dynasty also gathered together to discuss the current relationship with the entire textile industry.  Big things for the future of the industry.

    "Well, my warehouse is now filled with goods from several large warehouses, and they haven't gone out at all. Calculated, these goods are worth more than 2 million taels of silver. This is produced when my factory only operates for half a day every day.  of."

    "If I can't sell it anymore, I will have to suspend the operation. If those skilled workers leave by then, it will be difficult to open it again in the future."

    Li Zhenting said with a sigh that the Li's Colorful Textile Factory he opened is one of the top ten leaders in the Ming Dynasty's textile industry. It mainly produces cloth, garments, and shoes, and employs more than 100,000 skilled workers.

    "You're lucky, you have a big family and a big business, other businesses are still going well, and you still have working capital, but I'm miserable, all the money is tied up in it, and now all the big warehouses are full, and I don't dare to stop.  "

    "There is another loan coming due soon on Galaxy's side."??, if I can't come up with the money to repay the loan, I will go bankrupt.  "

    Hu Wanli, the owner of Jinxiu Textile Factory, who is also one of the top ten textile companies in Ming Dynasty, also sighed.

    He is so worried that his hair has turned all white now. Thinking about the bank loan that is about to expire, he is worried to death. If this is not paid, the house, land, manor, plantation, etc. will all be given away by the bank.  take away.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, but our products just can¡¯t be sold.¡±

    Someone followed and said: "The price now is even cheaper than before. We can't sell it even at a loss. Some of my old customers don't buy my goods now."

    ¡°They said that the goods in some overseas colonies and vassal countries are much cheaper than ours.¡±

    "It's okay if you don't tell me, but I get angry when it comes to this period."

    "Those textile factories in overseas colonies and vassal states use slaves in their factories. They only need to give them food. Of course, the cost is very low."

    "We are different. Labor in our Ming Dynasty is too expensive. Each worker has to be paid at least more than 100 taels of silver a year, and he only works eight hours a day, and he has to take holidays and other weekends off."

    ¡°It¡¯s different in factories overseas in vassal states and colonies. They use slaves and don¡¯t pay wages at all. They can work 12 hours a day, all year round.¡±

    ¡°No matter how cheap our goods are, they can¡¯t compare with them. At the price we sell at a loss, they still make a good profit. There¡¯s no way to compare.¡±

    When Li Zhenting heard this, he immediately said helplessly.

    Of course, they are also very clear about the situation of overseas textile factories, because they all know each other, and many of them have even transferred part of their textile industry to overseas colonies and vassal states.

    "If this continues, we will all be killed by them. We will open factories in the Ming Dynasty, pay taxes to the court, and increase employment."

    ¡°Those overseas vassals and colonial factories did not pay taxes at all in our Ming Dynasty, but their cloth could be sold back to our Ming Empire, taking away our market.¡±

    ¡°This is very unfair to us. I think we should jointly submit a letter to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to restrict the industrial development of overseas colonies and vassal states, and not allow overseas colonies and vassal states to open factories.¡±

    ¡°Otherwise, in the future, not only the textile industry, but also other industries will be severely impacted by overseas colonies and vassal states. They have extremely cheap labor, while our local labor prices in Ming Dynasty are getting more and more expensive.¡±

    Hu Wanli also said in deep agreement.

    "It doesn't matter if there are no restrictions, but we must be allowed to use slaves, otherwise we won't be able to do it at all."

    ¡°We may have to lower workers¡¯ wages, extend working hours, cancel holidays, etc. Otherwise, if we as owners cannot survive, we will go bankrupt and their workers will have no food to eat.¡±

    Li Zhenting thought for a while and added.

    In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, there has always been a strong call for the liberalization of slave restrictions, especially in these labor-intensive industries.

    The rising labor wages in the Ming Empire have put capitalists like them under great pressure, especially labor-intensive industries, which are increasingly affected.

    Many overseas colonies and vassal states do not have this restriction. They can use slaves, and the labor price is extremely cheap, or even negligible.

    These cheap products not only rob overseas markets, but also impact the local market of Ming Dynasty, causing Ming Dynasty¡¯s capitalists to complain.

    However, there is free trade between the Ming Dynasty and its overseas colonies and vassal states. There are no restrictions on each other, and there will be no additional tariffs or anything like that.

    Even the currency is unified. So far, overseas vassal states and colonies have not issued their own currency, because even if some vassal states and colonies have issued their own currency, no one accepts or recognizes it, and the market cannot circulate.  , and in the end had to use Ming Dynasty silver coins and banknotes.

    "If the imperial court doesn't take care of us, we will have no choice but to move to overseas colonies and vassal states, otherwise we will not be able to survive at all."

    "Yes, if there is no other way, they will definitely have to move out. Then the court will have a lot less tax revenue, and a large number of workers will be unemployed."

    "I think we should express our thoughts to the court together and see if the court will come up with any measures."

    "I think it is possible. Our entire textile industry in Ming Dynasty is related to the livelihood of tens of millions of people, the employment of a large number of people and a large amount of tax revenue. The court must attach great importance to it."

    Many capitalists are constantly discussing and discussing petitions to the DPRK.

    For them, based on their understanding, the problems they are experiencing are due to unfair competition from overseas markets, and they do not fully realize that the main reason why this problem occurs is because  The reasons are overcapacity and serious imbalance between supply and demand.
