Chapter 1492 Your kid didn't open the pattern
Xu Hua was originally the second-in-command of the Shandong provincial government. The Guangxi Province was first established. Xu Hua was elected as the first-in-command of the Guangxi Province because of his excellent political achievements, and was in charge of Guangxi.

When faced with many difficulties in Guangxi Province, Xu Hua noticed the existence of Guangzhou Shipping Division. He wanted to have a business relationship with Guangzhou Shipping Division and sell some local specialties of Guangxi Province. go.

No matter how bad it is, we can use the strong business atmosphere of Guangzhou Shipping Division to reach a series of cooperation with businessmen in Guangdong to open up the sales of Guangxi products.

After his field research in Guangxi Province, there are still many local specialties worth mentioning, such as the famous Nixing pottery, Zhuang brocade called carbon cloth, and Hepu Nanzhu.

These things are well-known tributes, originally belonged to the ranks of luxury goods, no worries about buyers anyway.

It was only the war between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Ming Kingdom that made the major buyers of these products, the feudal ruling class, wiped out by the Ming Dynasty as a whole.

Buyers are gone, and luxury goods have lost a lot of purchase orders, leaving local people working in these industries in a bind.

And Daming does not want tribute, a large part of the added value of these products comes from the status of tribute, and the products that were not sold well are now even more destitute, and they are in a crisis of life and death.

Xu Hua made an on-the-spot investigation and believed that these products have high artistic and historical value. Even if the Ming Dynasty does not consume it in China, it should not sit idly by and let the local people lose their livelihoods.

So he made a decision, while supporting these industries, he approached Guangdong to discuss business cooperation and strive to reopen sales.

Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many considerations on financial issues.

Su Yonglin worked hard to establish a public-owned economy, but he also paid attention to the financial relationship between the central and local governments. At the same time, he made some adjustments to the financial problems with reference to the loss of control of the Tang Dynasty and the overly difficult situation of the Song Dynasty, as well as the construction of a collective economy.

At the central level, expand the Ministry of Finance's control over the lifeline of the country's economy. The Ministry of Finance is huge and controls an extremely large-scale state-run economic system.

At this level, Su Yonglin took into account that the central government of the Song Dynasty over-controlled financial power, which made the local areas poor, unable to perform basic functions, and the process of using money was extremely troublesome, which was not conducive to the development of the country.

For example, when Su Shi was in office in Hangzhou, he wanted to repair the dilapidated buildings of the official yamen and the official warehouse. After careful planning, he found that he needed to spend [-] yuan.

As a result, the government in a traditionally prosperous area like Hangzhou couldn't even get [-] yuan of money.

This kind of thing can't be done, and even more expensive projects like road building, water conservancy construction, and city wall construction are also not to be considered.

What else can the local government do to benefit the people?

The difficult situation in the Song Dynasty became a dead end.

On the issue of revolutionary construction, nothing can be done once and for all. What should be adjusted must be adjusted, and the powers that should be conferred must also be conferred. Therefore, Su Yonglin learned from these experiences and lessons and delegated some financial authority to the localities.

The Ministry of Finance directly controls the important economic lifeline of the country.

And the less well-known branch products belonging to the same category of certain products in the economic lifeline can be under the jurisdiction of the financial departments of the local provinces.

Local provinces can establish a public economy of the same nature, build a local characteristic economy, develop people's livelihood, and increase fiscal revenue in order to better build the local area.

Therefore, looking at the dilapidated and dilapidated industries such as Zhuangjin, Nixing pottery, Hepu Nanzhu and other industries, Xu Hua held a provincial financial meeting, put forward suggestions, passed them, and pulled up the first batch of The characteristic industry of Guangxi province.

He used the financial budget allocated by the Ministry of Finance to Guangxi Province to acquire these valuable industries that were on the verge of life and death, reorganized them, introduced the advanced production system and management system of the Ming Dynasty, maintained old skilled workers, and recruited and cultivated new technologies. Worker.

I have only integrated resources here. After investing funds to resume production, the local digestion capacity is limited, or it is almost impossible to digest locally. It is necessary to open up sales channels and find big dog owners who are willing to pay the bills before the industry can be built.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a lack of big dog households, and the only powerful government procurement power was in the hands of the Central Ministry of Finance, which belonged to the Ministry of Finance.

When Xu Hua approached Xie Yuanliang to discuss cooperation, it happened to be when Xie Yuanliang was inspecting local specialty products and preparing to increase local economic power in addition to agriculture.

Xu Hua's actions made Xie Yuanliang feel that he had found a senior, so he asked Xu Hua for advice on the way of doing things in this regard, and then said that Guangdong and Guangxi are not separated, and he is willing to help Guangxi to open up product sales and increase financial income.

Anyway, those big dog owners from overseas have a very big appetite. Basically, if they come once, they will die if they don't buy it. They spend a lot of money to buy and buy, and their purchasing power is very powerful.

As long as these products are in their eyes, the big deal is to lower prices and open up sales, and the local economy will be able to operate.

Then, Xu Hua also discussed with Xie Yuanliang and felt that it was not enough to rely only on export sales. He felt that it was necessary to open up domestic sales as well.

Xie Yuanliang expressed doubts about this.

"These products are not simple products, the craftsmanship is complicated, manual production takes a lot of time, the cost cannot be cheap enough for ordinary people to buy, and the government's purchase is strictly controlled by the Ministry of Finance, this is clearly a Dead end, how to break it?"

Xu Hua shook his head and smiled.

"I can't say that. It looks like this is a dead end, but it's actually not the case. Of course, it takes a long time and high cost to produce those gorgeous items, but the key is that we make ordinary people also Affordable.

Our sales target is not the old bureaucratic gentry, not the high-class people, but the people. Do the people need such luxurious items?They can't afford it, and we can't sell it, so why do we have to produce such high-end items?
In these years of tax reform, farmers also have a lot of copper coins in their hands, especially in the Central Plains, Shandong, Henan and other places that were liberated earlier. Regardless of the shabby clothes of the old farmers, there are quite a few copper coins in their hands, and they are basically There's nowhere to spend it. "

Xie Yuanliang thought for a while, and asked in doubt, "You mean, sell the brocade to farmers? Is this possible?"

Xu Hua spread his hands and looked at Xie Yuanliang with the expression that you didn't open the pattern.

"Why not? Can't the people wear brocade? Aren't the peasants worthy of wearing brocade? Have there been any regulations on national clothing since the founding of my dynasty?"

Xie Yuanliang thought about it.

Hey, don't say, not really.

In the past dynasties, even the Song Dynasty, which seemed to have the most liberal policies, had many restrictions on national clothing and daily life. There were regulations on what color, material, and grade of clothing could be worn by people.

If the rank is not enough, no matter how rich businessmen and landlords are, they cannot wear brocades, they cannot use special colors, and they cannot live in big houses.

This is true of the people, and the same is true of the government. Each level has regulations for each level, not only the color of clothes, but also all aspects of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. There are strict restrictions.

This is not only a manifestation of the feudal hierarchy, but also directly limits the consumption capacity of the people and restricts commercial development.

Luxury goods are only for the ruling class to enjoy, in other words, only the ruling class is entitled to enjoy these things, and it doesn't matter whether these things themselves are so valuable or not.

Because luxury in this era is essentially a privilege.
