Su Li was a little surprised. This was not his true intention. But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing you can do about it. After all, it comes down to it. There are only so many resources in total. In the early stages of the development of the northwest, it was impossible to rely solely on the Tang Dynasty to be self-sufficient. There are now four million people in the northwest, and they want to absorb so many industries. Obviously not realistic. What cannot be digested will naturally have to be sold to Datang. But the consequences of this dimensionality reduction attack are not just that simple.
Through the learning of past life knowledge. Su Li understands. If dumping continues like this, most textile factories in Datang will be affected. They will all suffer a shocking blow and become unsustainable. It seems that we need to talk to Li Er. Su Li thought for a while. I feel that if dumping continues like this, problems will arise sooner or later. We still have to talk to Li Er to discuss the tax on wool exports. Think of this. He then took out the envelope, modified it, and asked Baima to hand it over to Li Er. After all, this matter is more important and a decision must be made quickly. Taking advantage of the fact that the people in small handicraft workshops have not been particularly severely hit yet. Hurry up and put tariffs on these wool exports. Although in name only. Northwest and Datang both belong to the same country. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that both of them are completely independent. And Su Li was embarrassed to keep asking for resources from Datang. Dumping is no problem though. But it cannot have an impact on the people in the Tang Dynasty.
Although he is now the Yongle King of the northwest, there was a scene of hundreds of thousands of people seeing him off in the past. Still kept in his mind. "If people don't let me down, I won't let them down." "How can I make it difficult for the people to do this for me?" Su Li sighed softly. Although in fact dumping products can maximize profits. But he could not do this vicious blood-sucking practice to the people of Tang Dynasty. If it were other countries, that would be fine. But the people of the Tang Dynasty. no the same. An envelope arrived in Chang'an. Li Er had already given instructions. Any letter sent by Yongle King Su Li. No matter what envelope it is, it must be delivered to the palace as quickly as possible. Inside Tai Chi Palace. Li Er was holding the envelope sent by Su Li in his hand. Open and take out the letter. After looking at it for a while, he pondered for a moment. "I didn't expect this." "But as Su Li said, if a large amount of wool textiles from the northwest continue to pour into Datang, it will indeed have a certain impact on other small workshops." "I still don't pay much attention." Li Er found that what Su Li said was true. If we continue to let things from the northwest be dumped here unscrupulously. The handicraft workshops related to cloth materials in Datang will be severely hit. Duties on wool exports. It is indeed a necessary thing to do. If these products are not restricted, the problems may not end just now. But what surprised Li Er was.
This matter was actually proposed by Yongle King Su Li on his own initiative. You must know that if tariffs are increased, Northwest's income will be reduced by then. And the pricing in the market will be slightly higher. There will no longer be the opportunity to occupy the market on a large scale like now. But Su Li actually gave up this opportunity. The purpose was to prevent the people of Tang Dynasty from becoming miserable. This made him think back. What Su Li did in Datang in the past. Whether it's dealing with the children of those aristocratic families or quelling the barbarians invading the northwest. All made people's lives much easier. The Tang Dynasty in the past. Although it can't be called troubled times, the common people have no power to fight back against the children of the powerful. They can only be allowed to be oppressed and exploited, and even some Han people are exhausted to death every year. But after Su Li reorganized. The Tang Dynasty has truly entered its current prosperous age. Li Er couldn't help but feel again. Sending Su Li to the northwest...is it the right choice? Although King Yongle was rampant, with his help, Yin Tang did become stronger. On the contrary, his behavior of crossing the river and burning down the bridge is a bit like judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Li Er shook his head slightly. No. It's too late to say anything now. If Su Li had been in Chang'an City, he, the emperor, would have become a mascot. This is not Li Er's goal, so Su Li must be let go. Li Er took a deep breath. "Since you have helped me achieve great military exploits in the past, such trivial matters will naturally go without saying... "Tell Su Li, I won't take all the credit. Li Er quickly replied to the envelope.
Afterwards, a new imperial edict was written and issued. "From now on, all factory products shipped from the northwest will be subject to increased tariffs." "The same is true for the Tang Dynasty when it was transported to the northwest." "This matter was proposed by Yongle King Su Li personally and will be implemented immediately. "Appreciate this." With the emergence of this imperial edict, Datang was shocked! Although the northwest and the Tang Dynasty were originally clearly separated, doesn't the emergence of this tariff mean that the Tang Dynasty and the northwest have become two countries? Throughout the ages. This has never been the case! But considering the vastness of the northwest, it is not inferior to the Tang Dynasty. Consider the two as one country. Really unrealistic. And discerning people also discovered the reason why Su Li did this. On the contrary, it is good for Datang. Wool products with added tariffs will no longer be as cheap as they once were. It has also saved a large number of textile factories that were about to go bankrupt, allowing these self-employed businesses to still be competitive enough in the market, although life is definitely not as easy as in the past. But it's enough to sustain. And this thing. But it was proposed by Yongle King Su Li himself! Although it seems to be just a bilateral increase in tariffs, Datang has taken a lot of advantage. After all, the population of the Tang Dynasty was four to five times that of the present-day northwest. The people were full of admiration. "Even though King Yongle went to the northwest, he never forgot us workers!" "Yes! If King Yongle hadn't proposed increasing tariffs, I'm afraid the leather we spun could only be sold at a low price, and we wouldn't be able to get a few copper coins at all. "These woolen products used to be good...but they were too cheap." "It's so cheap that our existence is no longer necessary. Now we can finally return to normal..." "If I hadn't had an old man and a young man, I would have wanted to explore the northwest!" "I heard that those people who go to the northwest can make a lot of money just by selling wool!"
For Su Li. This incident was just a sideshow. When he learned about the content of the imperial edict issued by Li Er, he smiled and shook his head. This Li Er is still so strong. Maybe this means that you will never be weaker than others in your life. He didn't bother to compete with the opponent. Just in terms of goals, he was no longer on the same level. .
