Whether the sea is open or closed is not important to Zhao Guangyuan at the moment.
But secretly, he naturally hopes to open the sea.
Although there are many disadvantages, such as pirate nuisance, rampant smuggling, impact on the local economy, etc., Daqi's sea ban has indeed had some results, but there are still many merchants along the coast who go to sea privately, and the ban is endless.
But opening up the sea has its positive side. Especially since Zhao Guangyuan went to China, he believed that trade should be actively opened, first for people's livelihood and second for economy. From the perspective of national defense, he emphasized that the maritime ban policy was not an active border management strategy.
Zhao Guangyuan read many classics and books in the library of China. There were various debates in later generations about the opening of the sea and the prohibition of the sea. In the previous dynasty, a coastal governor requested the opening of the sea, which impressed him deeply.
This person requested the imperial court to set up a navy to guard the coast and control the islands in order to "defend Annei".
Said: "...If we set up defensive troops to guard the key points, the invaders will have no chance to take advantage of them. The purpose of setting up the navy is to control the rocky frontier, and there is no reason to abandon the gates and instead defend the secrets of the hall. ...The soldiers will protect the people and the people will not lose their place. This is the key to maintaining external peace and internal peace."
Zhao Guangyuan saw it and agreed very much.
Moreover, the opening of the sea is the most convenient thing for the people along the coast. The people can make a living and trade through this, and they will not be in poverty. There is little cultivated land along the coast, and the sea ban makes people's lives difficult. If docks and sea cities are built to realize a trade economy, the lives of coastal people will be greatly improved.
And Da Qi’s treasury will be full and there will be no shortage. If you consider pirates, you can set up naval forces in coastal cities to defend them.
Zhao Guangyuan had seen how developed and wealthy coastal cities were in China. The hardship of the people along the coast of Daqi was certainly not what he expected.
Whether the imperial court would open the sea, Zhao Guangyuan felt that his hand was unintentional, and his good father would definitely be touched when he saw that Siam had developed above Daqi. And it's impossible for his good brothers not to be moved when they see Qi Ya's income.
He wrote a confidential letter to Fang Da and Sun Lu, asking them to hurry up to find a shipbuilder to build the ship, and then secretly search for the shipbuilder along the coast. Once the sea opens, they must be the first to make arrangements.
He also wrote to Jiang Wentao and asked him to send various prepared glass products to the capital.
Since he distributed his perfume into small glass bottles, glass bottles as big as knuckles have sold for sky-high prices. Now is the perfect time to launch a variety of glass products.
The hundreds of thousands of taels he earned from selling Siamese goods were taken away to Vietnam without being warmed in his hands. He is still short of money, very short of money.
Lin Zhaoxia was not short of money, but she was short of time. After the Lantern Festival, she was so busy that she wished she had three heads and six arms.
An online account, due to her Buddhist-style operation, did not update a single video during the entire Spring Festival, and was scolded by countless people. I had no choice but to work hard to cut videos, upload them, reply to text messages, take orders, send packages, and do after-sales service.
Fortunately, after interviewing a group of people, I settled on two young girls and rented a facade house in the community as a studio.
This freed her from the complicated trivial matters.
After last year's popularity, her custom-made clothing and jewelry have received more and more orders, and more and more people know about her small shop.
I originally thought that there would not be so many people pre-ordering the high-quality couture line, but I never thought that because some people ordered clothes, they could actually see the production process in the video, and the embroidery was hand-sewn stitch by stitch by young embroiderers. It's not fake at all, and it attracts more and more people to place orders.
After Ten Xiu Niang and Jin Xiu finished making the two sets of wedding clothes last year, they followed up with various high-end costumes. They are all wedding dress orders placed by Hanfu enthusiasts, people who want to have a Chinese-style wedding, or the clothes of the main characters in the film crew.
Other clothing is made by people like Geng who take orders from home.
Therefore, some orderers can see the video of their own clothing production in the video. They were very satisfied with the goods they received. As people passed it on from person to person, the number of orders increased.
There are also many orders for purses, handkerchiefs, cloth shoes, etc. Lin Jing'an dispatched orders in various places and found women to make these.
The jewelry made by Lin Qiushan is only made to order. The finished product takes a lot of time, so there are not many orders sold, but because of the high selling price, he also makes a lot of money. There are also quite a few jewelry items that Zhao Guangyuan ordered people to buy from the capital of Daqi. They are placed on the shelves. Many people have inquired about them, and some film crews have also come to borrow them.
Although the video uploaded by Lin Zhaoxia still blocks the sound, it is also a kind of enjoyment to watch ancient beauties making clothes quietly every day. Many people still come to watch the video every day, saying that the video is very healing and they can't help but come every day. Have a look.
If you don't see the blogger updating, you will scold him.
After Lin Zhaoxia finished dealing with the video issue and the new semester began, she started to help her parents find private teachers again.
After the New Year, Changzhi’s enthusiasm for learning has become stronger, and his enthusiasm for learning foreign languages remains high. When I go home and watch cartoons, I also watch foreign language films. If I don’t understand, I force myself to listen. Lin Zhaoxia saw that he liked it and let him go.
After the New Year, I am even more attentive to my schoolwork. Last year, he had completed the first-grade elementary school language and mathematics courses, and this semester Zhao Guangyuan asked him to take the second-grade courses.
Lin Zhaoxia wanted to say that studying is not something that can be accomplished in a day, and that he should take his time, fearing that it will grow too tight and collapse, but he had a vague feeling that Zhao Guangyuan had something planned, so he did not stop him.
Both father and son became busy. Zhao Guangyuan came later and later every day, but he still came every day to eat with the mother and son, check Changzhi's homework, and teach Changzhi how to practice kung fu.
Every night, he would talk to Lin Zhaoxia as usual and enjoy their time together.
"My cousin said that he was introduced to some calligraphy and painting association and met some people."
Zhao Guangyuan shook his head and smiled. His cousin was pretentious and wanted to make progress more and more. He can participate in more activities and get to know more people, which will also be beneficial to the management of the shop. He can get some latest information and have better ideas for selling goods and creating his own paintings and calligraphy.
"Cousin is serious." Lin Zhaoxia also smiled. I hope that time will live up to his efforts and allow him to get what he wants.
"Lu Ye came to me quietly today and said he wanted some tiger patches and some medicine to treat trauma." In addition to Lu Ye, the tiger patches, anti-mosquito bite medicines, and external medicines all sold very well. Money is hard to come by in the capital.
Lin Zhaoxia nodded, "Then I'll make a list and check out their website tomorrow. The price is just not as cheap as what we can buy there."
"That's okay. No matter how high the price is, there will still be people buying it. Nowadays, people are blocking the door of the shops in Beijing, waiting for the goods to arrive."
They were very happy when they heard that the goods in the Beijing store were selling well and making a lot of money. In this way, Zhao Guangyuan can feel less anxious.
In the busy life, the days passed quickly, until that day, Geng stumbled to the palace.
