Chapter 938： inspired

Mu Yangling was looking at the list of goods, the list of goods they exported and the list of goods they imported. Qi Haoran took the bear to the military camp early in the morning, while Xiao An was sitting on the blanket not far from Mu Yangling's feet. The sound box, the little lion and the tiger head sat cross-legged and watched.

Xiao Xia hugged Xiao Fu to watch them go to waste. Knowing that he couldn't control them, he stabbed Mu Yangling, "I really let them take it apart. I heard that such a small sound box is worth 22 taels of silver."

Mu Yangling said with a smile: "Let them go, Xiao An can put it back after dismantling it, if not, just get him a few more sound boxes."

This time the Zhou family's boat came back and brought back hundreds of sound boxes, but this thing is indeed very expensive. Twenty taels of silver a toy, even in the upper class of the nobles, few people buy it, because this thing is not only used for playing There's really no other use.

Unless you use it to show off, everyone will see it as a rarity.

The reason why Mu Yangling dared to say this is that she had done a public opinion poll. She asked her four children, and when Xiaoxiong heard that a small sound box cost him two months of monthly money, it suddenly hurt, "Twenty-two With the money, I can buy four or five books for the children in the academy, and those four or five books can be used for at least twenty years and can teach..."

Mu Yangling hurriedly interrupted him, expressing that he understood what he meant, and turned to look at Xiao An, who also shook his head, "It's too expensive, not worth it, and useless, I want to listen to music and we can sing by ourselves, and we can dance too. meeting."

Little lion and tiger head added: "And they only go around in circles. They haven't danced well before us, and there is only a short piece of music."

In short, everyone is disgusted. Xiao An took this thing because he wanted to know how no one played the music and made a sound, while the little lion and tiger head were just watching the fun, but Xiao Xiong supported Xiao An's actions and said: "You If you try to dismantle it, it is best to draw a drawing, and I will let Heizi and the others try to see if they can make it. If we make it, we will make a fortune, twenty taels of silver each.

It was Xiaoxiong's words that reminded Mu Yangling that she asked Director Zhu to get the manifest today. Could it be that they can only import these novelties from foreigners, and then export silk, tea and porcelain?

In addition to porcelain, silk satin and tea all need land resources to produce, and the other party's sound boxes, muskets, and colored glass are all manufactured by industry. Instead, their consumption is to provide more employment resources for their country's labor. Instead, It is they who may have to occupy more land resources for tea and silk.

No matter what time it is, food is the foundation of a country, and no matter how much gold and silver there is, food is useless.

It is said that gold and silver are hard currencies, but in fact, regardless of the prosperous times or the troubled times, food is the foundation of a country. Even in an economically developed world like the previous life, food reserves are still the top priority of the country.

Therefore, Mu Yangling did not want to let the business occupy more land resources before the food production did not increase.

Whether it is to grow tea or cultivate silk, a lot of land resources are needed. Now, whether it is foreigners or Daqi people, silk and tea are indispensable for exporting goods from here. Now that the sea trade has just started, the consumption is already very high. Huge, the prices of raw silk and tea in various parts of the coast have increased by nearly three times. When the sea trade becomes more and more prosperous, and the prices of these two things are getting higher and higher, more people will definitely give up growing food and turn to tea and mulberry farming. silkworm.

The person in charge of the inner treasury lives next door to her. That person was also responsible for filling the treasury before. Except for the emperor and the minister of the household, I am afraid that no one knows more about the grain storage in the treasury and local grain depots than him, and Mu Yangling As long as you think of the loss of land in Dajin and Xixia, and the possibility of another war within ten years, you can't help worrying. Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Haoran were discussing with Qi Haoran some time ago about building water conservancy and dredging the Yellow River.

Whether it is fighting or building water conservancy projects, food is needed.

Therefore, Mu Yangling hopes to change the export structure of Daqi. Tea and silk and satin are still exported, but the main things should be handicrafts, such as porcelain. For example, they can also make cheaper and more beautiful sound boxes, such as glassware, or clocks and watches. , or something else.

There are ready-made    sound boxes, Mu Yangling only needs to find a craftsman to study, first learn the principle, then do it, and then improve it.

As for glassware, it's easier, glass can be made in China as early as BC, well, this thing first appeared in Egypt because of volcanic eruptions, when everyone was still tribal, they made glass Products, colorful glass, although hazy and opaque, at least everyone knows how to do this.

Mu Yangling also knew, but how did the transparent and beautiful glass come out, please forgive her, the formula was not written in the book when studying history in the military academy, but it doesn't matter, the glassware sold to them by foreigners is very transparent now, she will do it The only thing is to let people study to reduce the cost, and then make the glass into all kinds of beautiful mirrors, clocks, and even glass windows...

Clocks are still cumbersome mechanical clocks in this world. Unfortunately, she knows the internal structure and basic principles of watches, and she knows that it is not difficult to make watches, but she can make watches and other watches. Certainly not a problem.

As special forces, the watch is something they often use, so everyone will disassemble and equip it, and it is not difficult to draw a structural diagram.

Mu Yangling finally found her place in the sea trade. She found Fan Zijin and told him, "I want to build a glass workshop and a clock workshop, and I will leave it to a few children to make the sound box."

Fan Zijin couldn't help holding his forehead and asked: "Let's not talk about the latter, where is your formula for the former, and how can you be sure that foreigners will use your glass and clocks? Isn't it wasted by investing so much?"

Mu Yangling blinked and said, "The foreigners don't want me to sell to Daqi people. Anyway, they have to buy these two things when they go to sea. Now they can buy them without going to sea. How wonderful."

Fan Zijin couldn't help but pat his head. It's true that he has become stupid after staying with Haoran for a long time. To ask such a stupid question, he nodded and said, "Okay, you can do it, but what are you going to tell me?"

Mu Yangling smiled and said slightly to please: "Zijin, I can't enjoy these two such lucrative businesses alone. How about the two of us working together?"

Fan Zijin asked with a black line on his head: "The autumn harvest has just ended. You and Haoran have so many Zhuangzi shops, where did the profits go?"

Mu Yang said weakly: "I asked Director Zhu to open the harvest shop to the prefectures, so this expenditure is a bit big..."

Fan Zijin couldn't help widening his eyes and said sharply, "Every state capital?"

Mu Yangling probably also realized that he had done something stupid and nodded.

Fan Zijin almost lost his anger, pointed at her and scolded: "Haoran is ignorant, you are also a prodigal."
