Chapter 368 Commodity Dumping
So Shi Lei explained to everyone here this way, adding fuel to the fire to the "sheep eaters" theory that he had been brewing for a long time. Although what he said was a bit plausible, it did not delay everyone from understanding the profound meaning of this. Then everyone felt a little chilling. It was really the scene that Shi Lei described was a bit terrifying.
"In other words, the boy thinks that we want to rule for a long time and occupy the former Turkic lands. Not only should we not isolate those Turkic herdsmen, but we should actively do business with them. When they unconsciously become herder slaves of the Tang Dynasty, one day they will be disobedient, we just need not buy their wool, and they will not be able to survive. I call this economic sanctions.
Of course, we have to dump the food that we can't finish, so that they have to rely on the Tang Dynasty to survive. Then, in the future, if we want them to beat them, they will definitely not be able to do anything. We have the final say in what we want." After Shi Lei said confidently, he could not avoid a glance at Changsun Wuji in secret.
In this theory of fooling people, Shi Lei also dug a hole for Changsun Wuji. Didn’t you raise the price in disguise? Let’s come up with this theory and see how you can continue to play.
The Tang Dynasty wanted to obtain greater benefits from the wool trade and squeeze the blood and sweat of the Turks more. There were two necessary conditions: one was to sell a large amount of wool products, such as wool coats, and the other was to buy a large amount of wool raw materials. These two were obviously a bit in conflict with the Changsun family.
Changsun Wuji also reflected that what he had done before was not just against Shi Lei, but now he has even endangered the interests of most nobles and even the Tang Dynasty. In the face of the interests of the country, his personal interests are obviously going to be sacrificed, and what he did was not authentic.
Just look at the performance of these nobles around you. The Stone Boy's proposal has been recognized by most people and has occupied the general trend. In the face of such general trend, he can only be crushed. It seems that he can only give up this approach.
In fact, the last straw that really overwhelmed Changsun Wuji was Li Er's performance. Changsun Wuji, who knew his brother-in-law, was very clear about Li Er's performance. Li Er's performance meant that he also bought into Shi Lei's theory.
And he, Changsun Wuji, has always been a vocal worm for Li Er and has never disobeyed the emperor's brother-in-law's ideas. It would be impossible not to bow his head this time. He was sure to suffer this loss, so his face inevitably brought some shame.
After seeing Changsun Wuji's expression with satisfaction, Shi Lei took his leave. How to decide on such a thing is better, Emperor Li Er, who is better to decide on it personally.
Although Shi Lei has no official wisdom, he at least knows one thing: being a soldier cannot make decisions for the leader, or at least not let the leader feel that way. So after explaining his own ideas, Shi Lei no longer speaks too much.
This is a major issue related to national economy and people's livelihood, and he is not a fourth-rank general who can make more comments. Li Er was also very satisfied with Shi Lei's performance of knowing how to advance and retreat. He decided to send his reward first, so he no longer had his appetite.
Sure enough, shortly after the big discussion ended, Changsun Wuji stopped interfering with it. Everyone's acquisition of wool and fur goods was much smoother, and the overall trend changed.
Of course, there are more and more nobles involved in the sales of fur products. However, the big cake of the market has been made bigger with everyone's efforts. There is no need to worry about too many people entering the market, diluting everyone's interests, and no longer having to malicious competition. There is a situation of mutual price reduction. They all have a tacit understanding and maintaining consistency with the outside world.
At this time, we can see how wide the influence of the Tang Dynasty, as the center of the Eastern world, was.
Fur products that triggered a trend in the Tang Dynasty, along with the footsteps of the Tang Dynasty caravans and caravans from neighboring countries and nations, they soon spread to the entire Eastern world, even as far as the former land of Rome, and almost radiated the entire world.
Countries like the surrounding Japanese and Goguryeo that have lived within the influence of the Tang Dynasty for a long time were almost dumped, and their country took the initiative to welcome the entry of these goods.
Because they all admire Central Plains culture and have too many yearnings for the Tang Dynasty's food, clothing, housing and transportation. They cheered and cheered when they had this opportunity to wear new style clothing that the Tang people liked.
Especially after the army in the imperial city was all dressed up, the handsome military coat was absolutely popular. Everyone in Chang'an was proud of having such a military coat, let alone those people from neighboring countries such as Japan.
Even the hometown of these wools, the Turks, were proud to have a tweed coat made from the Tang Dynasty.
This is the benefit brought by the gap in technology, or the gap in national strength. For Datang, there was another powerful industry, and it was an industry that could receive various official support, either explicitly or implicitly.
There is no need to worry about sales. It is almost bought by people around you, so naturally everyone is excited and joins this feast of wealth.
Shi Lei and others who have gained enough benefits from military uniforms and have trained their own team have further solved the problem of raw materials. In this wave of new industries, they just seized the opportunity and all of them were all divided into soup. They were so full of oil.
Those who make a fortune will definitely be happy every day, and even the junior Shi Lei, the status among the martial arts masters, has been further improved.
Even if he didn't pay attention to his future that many people, including the emperor, and his recognized title as the No. 1 young general, and his ability to make money for everyone, he should get this treatment. This is the serious God of Wealth, so it is naturally easier to speak.
Moreover, most of the martial arts masters who are close to Shi Lei have children under Shi Lei's hands. After Shi Lei's training, not only did their abilities be significantly improved, but their progress in martial arts and leadership abilities is clearly visible, but more importantly, they are improving their will quality.
There are many of them, who want to be the pillars of the family. In their original appearance, these veterans really have to worry about their funeral afterwards. They can't say that they will definitely be ruined or something, but there will still be some of the sighs of my heroic son and bastards.
There are some people who are basically lying on my credit book and waiting to die, but now they are obviously different in spirit and look a little hard-working.
Of course, it is not just ambitious. I still have a clear understanding of my positioning, but I have fewer complaints and more self-improvement.
Seeing that their children have made such changes, Shi Lei was brought by them. Those who are parents must pay more attention to Shi Lei.
Even because of all this, Shi Lei has to be grateful to him, so he has achieved such a status improvement that Shi Lei can detect himself.
Especially after the imperial edict on Shi Lei's reward was released, Shi Lei's status was raised to a new level.
Yes, although Shi Lei was very calm, he was actually just like his men. He was eagerly looking forward to this imperial edict on rewards that he could come down early.
Shi Lei was also very curious. He took out a magical object like potato. It can be said that it was the Dinghai Dinghai Sword that maintained the stability and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. What kind of reward could Li Er give?
He would be sad if he said that he wouldn't be able to say anything less. Moreover, he has never been a stingy person in such matters, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people who would be willing to devote themselves to his efforts.
Perhaps it was the theory of "sheep eating people" that Shi Lei had last time in the hall. When it came to Li Er's heart, this man simply sent the imperial edict.
It was still the familiar eunuch, who was full of spring breeze and climbed to Shi Lei's house.
