At this time, Europe.
Under Liu Zheng's strategy, Saxony has become Long Yan's military powerhouse in Europe.
A large number of Dragon Flame Army military bases have been built throughout Saxony.
Liu Zheng also moved the entire strategic base from the Austrian port to Saxony.
With the surrender of the King of Saxony and Liu Zheng's series of actions, it had a great impact on the allies of the Franco-Austrian-Russian Alliance.
Saxony is also a Catholic country.
But now Saxony has completely surrendered to Liu Zheng, and the Franco-Austrian-Russian alliance has united to impose so-called sanctions on Saxony and Long Yan.
They will increase tariffs and add more restrictions on Longyan products sold within the country.
They are even preparing to freeze Longyan merchants and use their domestic assets to suppress Longyan.
Regarding the tricks of the allies such as France, Austria and Russia, Liu Zhengquan regarded them as farts.
Now, the items sold by Long Yan merchants have penetrated into all aspects of various countries. This can no longer be restricted or restricted.
For example, Long Yan's soap is not a necessity, but it is necessary for life.
Before there was soap, European aristocrats used so-called essential oils and perfumes to cover up their body odor caused by not bathing for a long time.
But since the advent of soap, this thing is not only clean when taking a bath, but also has a scent.
It is deeply loved by European nobles and common people, especially women.
Nowadays, it has become a necessity in life. If this kind of thing is restricted, substitutes are needed.
But even after the industrial revolution, in terms of the process of making soap.
Products from European countries are completely incapable of competing with Long Yan.
Direct restrictions would worsen the situation within their country.
Li Hongtian said from the side: "These countries are deliberately targeting us, Long Yan, and some countries even deduct our payment for Long Yan's goods. This makes our Long Yan merchants very distressed."
"Master Liu Zheng, how do you think we should handle this matter?"
Liu Zheng sneered and said: "Simple, since France, Austria and Russia restrict the sale of our products, then we simply won't sell to them."
"Cut off trade with them."
Li Hongtian frowned and said: "The French, Austrian and Russian allies, they have a large number of colonial areas overseas, and that is where we, Long Yan, make the most money."
"Such a one-size-fits-all approach will affect our Longyan merchants, and many merchants spend too much money to come to Europe to do business. If we ban it, I'm afraid many Longyan merchants will lose their money!"
Liu Zheng shook his head: "No, we only restrict the local trade of these countries. We still trade with their colonial areas and publicize this matter."
"Let more people know."
"Over time, these countries will need to spend a lot of money to purchase our products from their overseas colonies at high prices."
"Think about it, Mr. Li, under the urgent needs of the masses, goods that could have been purchased cheaper from overseas colonies were purchased at high prices."
"How long can these so-called colonial masters sustain themselves?"
"The ultimate benefit will only be ours."
Liu Zheng smiled and sat down to enjoy the books he brought from the King of Saxony's treasury as if nothing else happened.
Li Hongtian bent down slightly, backed out, and closed the door.
Various European countries are now preparing to restore their strength through various trades. If the economies of these European countries are hit hard at this time, they will be hit hard in this war.
…
Li Hongtian announced Long Yan’s latest policy.
It has attracted the attention of many European nobles, because this will directly affect their income.
affect their business.
Jiang Xuelan, who had just returned from Iceland, almost burst out laughing when she heard the news.
She had just signed an agreement with Jones in Iceland.
Iceland is lagging behind in development. From Jones's mouth, we learned that Iceland is a colonial area of Denmark, but that is a power that Denmark has never exercised.
It is equivalent to Iceland being a land without one, and now Long Yan has issued such a ban.
Other merchants may also need to sell goods to the colonies, and then sell the goods from the colonies to the mother country.
It is equivalent to exporting to domestic sales and then exporting.
Although you can make more money, this process is not only cumbersome and time-consuming, but also requires you to bear more taxes.
But if Jiang Xuelan sells it directly to these countries at a high price from Iceland.
Not only is there no tax, there is not even customs.
Jiang Xuelan, who is keen on business opportunities, left to find his partner Pano in Europe.
"Oh, Pano, I'm afraid we have to terminate our cooperation." Jiang Xuelan said apologetically.
Pano spread his hands and asked doubtfully: "Is it because Long Yan issued that ban?"
"Oh, dear Miss Jiang, you can completely ignore this ban. We in France have also issued such an order, but no one will take these things seriously."
"What we advocate is free trade, you know this."
Pano said seriously that he really wanted to keep Jiang Xuelan. For him, Jiang Xuelan, a new and cutting-edge Longyan businessman, needed to quickly open the market in Europe, so in terms of goods, she could buy the same goods cheaper.
better quality.
If she stopped doing business with them, Pano would be severely hit.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Pano.
The sanctions orders issued by the Franco-Austrian-Russian alliance countries against Long Yan were not good news to businessmen like them.
Merchants pursue profits, and for them these Dragon Flame products can make them money.
It’s just the best products, they don’t care too much about anything else.
In the end, as they expected, Long Yan really issued a ban.
It is forbidden to do business with local merchants from France, Austria, Russia and other allied countries.
This will leave a big gap in the market. When there are no substitutes, such a gap will be the most profitable.
Some people are in urgent need of these products.
He also needs to buy back from the colonies, but they need to spend more money for the same commodity.
This poses extremely high risks and obstacles for their businessmen.
Therefore, it is very important to retain every Longyan merchant.
Jiang Xuelan looked at Pano's appearance in front of her, smiled slightly, and took a sip of tea.
I remember when she first came to do business, these European guys had a very bad attitude towards her.
The goods in her hands are priced as low as possible before they can be sold.
For Jiang Xuelan, it was a dark memory.
She put down the tea cup, crossed her hands in front of her face, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Pano, this is our Dragon Flame's ban. It is valid for all Dragon Flame merchants, including me."
"However, I will set up an exchange in Iceland where you will buy my goods."
