In Hongyun Manor in Nanyun Province, Liu Jin was reading the newspaper leisurely.
"There are textile factories everywhere in the Ming Empire. Where there is a need for so many textile factories, it is also a good thing to close some of them. In this case, funds and labor will flow to places that need it more, instead of gathering in a swarm of a few industries and Within the realm.¡±
"This has been the case for our countrymen since ancient times. Any profitable business will cause a swarm of people to come over and make a lot of money."
"In addition to privileged and monopolized businesses, competition in the East has been extremely fierce since ancient times."
Liu Jin couldn¡¯t help but shake his head when he looked at the economic-related content reported in the newspaper.
The biggest problem in the textile industry is that there are too many textile factories. The Ming Empire does not need so many factories at all, and it can even be said that the global market does not need so many factories.
The market is so big. Where is the amount of products that can be digested? When everyone rushes in, problems will naturally arise.
"What's more, if these overseas vassal countries and colonies want to develop, they must develop some industries. The textile industry has a low threshold and is a labor-intensive industry."
¡°These overseas vassal states and colonies often allow slavery, so the labor cost is very low.¡±
"In this regard, the Ming Empire cannot compete with these overseas vassal states and colonies. Transferring some industries to overseas colonies and vassal states is actually a good thing for the Ming Dynasty."
"The Ming Dynasty must grasp the basic agricultural base with one hand and rely on food to control the world. The other hand must grasp heavy industry, chemical industry, machinery manufacturing, electrical industry and other industries with high technical content. Only these industries can provide Ming people raise higher salaries.¡±
"And Daming has the advantages of local talents and technology, which is the most suitable for developing these industries."
¡°Transferring out labor-intensive industries with low added value and focusing on developing high-tech industries is the path the Ming Empire will take in the future.¡±
Liu Jin carefully thought about the future development of the Ming Empire.
Although he is no longer in his position, it stands to reason that he no longer has to worry about the Ming Empire, but when he is really in it, he still has to worry about the land that he deeply loves, hoping that it can become more prosperous.
Just like many angry youths in later generations, even though sometimes the scoldings are harsh and unpleasant, in the end they still love deeply and hate deeply. It is precisely because of deep love that they become angry youths.
When the country is in crisis, people like this are often needed to step forward.
"Master, the emperor's phone call!"
At this time, the housekeeper hurried over and said.
"The emperor's phone number?"
When Liu Jin heard this, he quickly stood up and hurried to answer the phone.
The telephone has developed extremely rapidly since its invention. Although the quotations of the Ming Telecommunications Company are extremely expensive in all aspects, there are still many rich people in the Ming Empire who cannot afford it. In addition, the telephone is very practical, so It is also developing extremely rapidly.
The Daming Telecommunications Company also adheres to the principles set by Liu Jin, the principle of serving the society and giving back to the society. It also sets up telephone lines throughout Daming as much as possible. In just a few years, it has basically established telephone lines in some important cities in Daming and overseas. Telephone communication has been implemented in the world.
Nanyun Province is a place at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. Naturally, telephones were opened here early and can be directly connected to the capital and even the Ming Dynasty.
As the most famous and largest manor here, Hongyun Manor has naturally installed telephones for a long time. What's more, now that Liu Jin lives here, these telephones and telegrams are indispensable, so that Liu Jin can communicate with the outside world in a timely manner. information.
Liu Jin came to the phone and picked up the phone.
¡°Hello~ I¡¯m Liu Jin!¡±
"Haha, Lao Liu!"
Zhu Houzhao¡¯s hearty voice came from the phone.
"Your Majesty!"
Liu Jin also quickly shouted respectfully.
"Old Liu, you really know how to enjoy happiness. You can travel all over the world and be free and at ease. I live a hard life here in the capital. Staying in the palace every day feels almost like being in jail."
When Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin chat in private, they basically don¡¯t call themselves ¡°I¡± and don¡¯t have so much airs about Liu Jin.
"Your Majesty, you have to deal with many things every day and have the country and the country on your shoulders. Of course you are very tired."
"While waiting for the holidays, you can also go and have fun."??Shouren and Zhongfan are similar to what you said. They also said that there are too many textile factories now and the products produced exceed the market demand, which is why the current situation occurs. "
After Zhu Houzhao heard this, he nodded slightly.
"Then how do we solve this problem?"
"Your Majesty, we don't have to worry about it at all and let the market decide everything."
"Closing some textile factories is actually a good thing. Everyone in the province has invested funds and labor in the textile industry. Other industries also need funds and labor."
Liu Jin said very decisively.
¡°In fact, for the current Ming Empire, the thunderstorm in the textile industry is also a good thing, as it can let everyone know the cruelty of the market economy.
"But this will cause a large number of textile workers to lose their jobs."
¡°Once you lose your job, you lose your livelihood.¡±
Zhu Houzhao was slightly dumbfounded when he heard this. He thought Liu Jin would come up with some special good idea, but who knew that he just let it go.
This is so inconsistent with Liu Jin¡¯s usual style.
"Your Majesty, many factories in the textile industry will close down. It is true that some people will lose their jobs, but other industries are developing very well."
"In our Ming Dynasty, electrical, electrical appliances, automobiles, heavy industry, shipbuilding, chemical industry and other industries are all developing very fast and rapidly. These industries require a large amount of labor, and many even suffer from development because they cannot recruit enough workers. Influence."
¡°The labor force released by the textile industry will be absorbed by these industries, so there is no need to worry about finding a job.¡±
Liu Jin quickly said that all industries in Ming Dynasty are now in very good shape and developing rapidly, especially emerging industries, which are developing even more rapidly. However, the textile industry, a sunset industry, takes up a large amount of labor.
This is also related to the tradition of Ming people. Once you work in a company, you will always work in it. There are very few job changes unless the employer can no longer work.
The word loyalty is imprinted in the bones of the people of Ming Dynasty. They are not only loyal to the emperor and the country, but also to the employer who employs them.
"But if we don't care at all, many textile factories will be relocated to overseas vassals and colonies. Our Ming Dynasty will not only lose a lot of tax revenue, but also a lot of jobs."
Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said again.
"Your Majesty, it is almost inevitable that the textile industry will move to overseas vassals and colonies, because the labor cost of our Ming Dynasty is getting higher and higher, but overseas vassals and colonies can keep slaves. There is no comparison at all. ."
¡°Our Ming Dynasty has advantages in technology, capital, and talent. We can completely abandon the textile industry and focus on developing heavy industry, automobile manufacturing, electrical, finance, chemical industry, shipbuilding, and many other industries that require technology, capital, and talent.¡±
¡°These industries can provide more tax revenue and can also provide their employees with higher-paying positions and benefits, which is incomparable to the textile industry.¡±
"The ceiling of the textile industry is what it is now in Ming Dynasty, but other industries still have huge development prospects!"
