Free trade?

Liu Yu felt very familiar. Soon the ships from Western countries were involved in the sea of ​​Dashun Dynasty?

Liu Yu remembered that when he was in the Western Regions, the Western businessman Jason once said that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely come to Shunchao to do business. Now less than half a year has passed. Even if Jason can return to his country, he will not have time to organize a fleet to fulfill his promise. That means, these people are simply a group of intruders.

"The exchange of goods and culture is also a good thing. Let them stay in the Guoyi Pavilion now. As for opening a trading port, it will be slow for the time being."

Liu Yu did not want to make hasty decisions, and many things could only be clearly distinguished after careful consideration. Liu Yu was not clear about the level of development of Western technology, but Liu Yu clearly understood the aggression of these Western ambitionists. In contrast to the Eastern people's values ​​of being content with oneself and the doctrine of the mean, the expansion of capital society in the early stage increased the ambition of Westerners.

Nowadays, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are all war dealers.

"What if Westerners want to sell goods in Chang'an City?" Sui Yu continued to ask.

“What goods are there?”

Liu Yu frowned and thought to himself whether it would be opium.

"Some industrial products and cloths have very dense cloths and low prices. Some vendors on the eastern coast are already secretly doing business with these Westerners, mainly because their cloths are good and cheap."

Liu Yu nodded twice to show that he understood that the Easterners used old looms to weave cloth, while the Westerners had entered the steam era and used steam looms. With more cloth from Westerners, they naturally wanted to transport their achievements abroad and exchange the materials they needed from other countries.

This is a terrible signal.

That means that the industrial revolution of the Westerners has begun. If the reform of science and technology is not carried out immediately, it will inevitably lead to the Westerners and be suppressed.

"They don't stop anything they want to sell, but send someone to monitor them. Once they have unusual actions, they report it to me as soon as possible. Also, no matter what goods they buy in my favor, they need to obtain approval from the Trade Department, and no merchants are allowed to do business with these Westerners."

Liu Yuben was cautious and cautious to prevent Westerners from plundering some Eastern technologies from the Dashun Dynasty, especially "mistresses".

"Maybe it cannot be banned." Sui Yu felt embarrassed, "The merchant is pursuing profit. Even though he knows the consequences are serious, he may not be able to stop the merchant's greed."

Liu Yu nodded and said, "It may be useless to just strictly restrict them. If you stare at this group of people, you will see clearly if you have someone to lift them."

Sui Yu is the young supervisor of the Trade Department. She asked for business requests from Westerners. She could not make a decision, so she came to ask Liu Yu for instructions. And she just needed to do what Liu Yu ordered.

After talking about the Westerners going to Shunchao to do business, Sui Yu reported on the recent income and expenditure of the Trade Department. Because the war had just ended, it happened to be a snow disaster in Guanzhong that had not been encountered in a century, and the court's expenses were very large. Liu Yu has been paying attention to these figures because Liu Yu wanted to start a war against the South. Now Liu Yu can only think about it. The country should indeed be at a time to recuperate, and he cannot afford this battle.

"Miss Sui, do you think our Dashun Dynasty will have to recuperate for several years before we can recover from the situation four or five years ago?"

Sui Yu thought for a while and said, "It can be as short as three to five years, and it can be as long as ten to twenty years. It depends on whether the world is in good weather."

Liu Yu sighed: "I'm afraid I can't wait anymore. Is there any way to speed up the rest and recuperation?"

This question directly stifled Sui Yu. To recuperate is a matter of slow work and meticulous work. Liu Yu insisted on "sweeping seedlings to help grow", which is not in line with reality and may cause some consequences.

"The little girl doesn't know what can speed it up."

Liu Yu has actually thought these days that if the Dashun Dynasty could be more prosperous, in addition to reducing labor and taxes, vigorously developing agriculture and sericulture, building water conservancy, and building new transportation routes are all good ways. But these are just articles on paper, requiring manpower, material resources and time as a backing, and will not see results immediately.

It is necessary to achieve immediate results. It is to develop science and technology, such as studying hybrid crops, and then developing new crops such as Nanyang sweet corn. In terms of business, steam engines will be used to completely replace the old backward technology. Only by treating one person as a few people can you have surplus of labor and complete the capital expansion of Dashun Dynasty.

Studying these things is like a fantasy for Liu Yu, let alone those uncivilized and ignorant people of this era. The best way is to pick up ready-made ones.

"I will send people to receive them specifically. If they want to open up free trade between the two countries, our conditions are very simple. They need to provide some of their technologies. Only in this way can we further develop friendlyly on the basis of mutual benefit and mutual benefit." Liu Yu thought for a while and said, "Just say that, let me see how their hunger reflects. Let me tell you when I come back."

People have not yet had a deep understanding of patents these days. Liu Yu had to "scam" all their advanced technologies from these Westerners, and then organize some smart handicraft technicians to learn from them, and improve them by learning from their strengths and weaknesses. With a foundation, it is not very complicated to improve them. Just like a steam engine, Watt only invented the steam engine, but his descendants started a steam era. Without Watt, the steam era might not have come, and it might have been delayed by hundreds of years.

Watt has made indelible contributions to the development of world science and technology.

Sui Yu seemed to understand what Liu Yu was going to do, but she was only a little sensible. She didn't know how Westerners weave cheap cloths in detail, nor did she understand why Liu Yu treated trade with Westerners so carefully, and even proposed their "technology". In the Yangxia, people still had a kind of arrogant idea, believing that as long as they were foreign countries, they would definitely fall behind to the point of eating raw meat and drinking blood. Even Sui Yu believed that Westerners were almost the same type of people as foreign countries.

Originally, after the Westerners had finished talking about the matter, Liu Yu didn't expect that Liu Yu would bring back the topic. Sui Yu immediately remembered something and said: "Westerns seem to propose to preach in the Changshun Dynasty. As for what kind of teaching they were going to preach... the little woman was not sure, but the Ministry of Rites was already working on this matter."

Liu Yuwei said angrily: "Why did the Ministry of Rites never mention this matter?"

Sui Yu said: "Probably they have not reached a consensus yet and have not conveyed it..."

Liu Yu went from a slight anger to a thin anger, and slapped him on the table.

Originally, the development of mysterious religions in Chang'an City was already a headache, but now Westerners are involved again. What is this not a mess? Liu Yu is most afraid that Westerners use their beliefs and values ​​to mislead the people of the East. In such a country where emperors are supreme, if their beliefs are changed, they will be not far from the chaotic country. (To be continued.
