How to develop the economy of his territory?
How could they make Great Qin's merchants disregard the distance and travel to their own territories?
Moreover, the most important thing was…What benefits would these merchants bring to the development of the territory?
These three questions.
This thought lingered in Ying Mu's mind for a long time, causing him to sink into deep thought.
"First question, how can we develop our territory's economy and make the entire territory prosperous?”
Ying Mu muttered to himself, then spread out a blank silk scroll and wrote two words on it."Inside, outside!"
The meaning of 'internal' naturally didn't need to be said, it referred to the economic circulation within the territory.
In the economics of Ying Mu's previous life, this situation was called domestic demand!
However, it was impossible for a country's economic development to rely solely on domestic demand.
Therefore, in addition to domestic demand, there was also a need for external demand.
This was also the meaning of the word 'outside' that Ying Mu had written.
The meaning of 'outside' was very simple. It referred to the exchange and trade between one's own territory and external forces.
In layman's terms, it was to attract investment, import and export trade, and so on.
Only by combining domestic demand and external demand could a region or a country's economic development be quickly driven.
"When your territory is just being built, you must prioritize internal demand and ensure the daily needs of the people in your territory.”
"However, there are many kinds of daily needs for the people. Although the Pearl River Delta region is large, it may not be able to completely satisfy the needs of the people in the territory.”
"For example, the sauce and vinegar in the rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea, the linen fiber needed by the commoners to make clothes, the Chinese herbs needed by martial artists, the various minerals needed for the development of the territory, etc. These all need to be obtained through external demand.”
"Not to mention, if nothing goes wrong, most of the residents in our territory will come from the north. As such, even if we solve the population problem, we will have to trade with Great Qin's merchants.”
When Ying Mu thought of this, he gave up on the idea of shutting down the country and focusing on development.
After all, if the territory wanted to develop, it was not something that could be imagined. It required a large amount of manpower and resources.
Where did the manpower and supplies come from?
It definitely couldn't have appeared out of thin air.
At the very least, Ying Mu didn't have that much money in the system to use for manpower and material needs.
Therefore, these manpower and resources needed to be brought in from the outside.
That was to say, they could obtain it through external demand.
"Then, how can I make Great Qin's merchants travel thousands of miles and disregard the dangers of the road to the Pearl River?”
"Or should I say, what kind of goods should I take out for export so that those merchants can obtain huge benefits and go to the Pearl River regardless of the dangers and difficulties?”
When Ying Mu thought of this, he couldn't help but frown and sink into deep thought.
Merchants pursued profits. Without huge profits, it was obviously impossible for them to go to the Pearl River.
After all, Ying Mu was more experienced than anyone else in the dangers and difficulties of crossing over.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have left Xianyang City for so long and stayed in Yan County instead of going to the Pearl River.
Ying Mu thought of the bargaining chips he could take out and couldn't help but write a few words on the silk.
Iron tools, steel, paper, cement, soap, glass, gunpowder
Ying Mu wrote until this point and quickly crossed out the word 'gunpower'.
After all, this was a true killing weapon. In a desperate situation, he definitely couldn't expose it, let alone trade it.
After Ying Mu crossed out the words 'gunpowder' and 'ironware' and 'steel'.
These two materials could not be traded in a short period of time.
Otherwise, he would not be able to answer to the First Emperor.
After that, Ying Mu crossed out the word " cement " because cement was too heavy and the price wasn't high.
The merchants were transporting cement from the Pearl River to Great Qin's hinterland, and they would probably lose everything they had on the way back.
"That's why I can still learn from some historical transmigration novels from my previous life.”
"If the transmigrators want to quickly accumulate wealth in the early stages, I'm afraid they really have to rely on small things like paper, glass, and soap.”
"It's just that these three items don't seem to be enough. Maybe I can."
Thinking up to this point, Ying Mu continued to write these five words on the silk.
Refined salt, sugar, spices.
These three items, let alone in the Qin Dynasty.
Even in the ancient dynasties of the later generations, it was still worth thousands of gold and had unimaginable profits.
Ying Mu felt that even if he did not rely on the small inventions that transmigrators had to make, just these three local specialties would be enough to attract all of Great Qin's merchants and bring them great benefits.
As for the origin of these three items?
Actually, it wasn't difficult.
The Pearl River was close to the sea and could be used to produce sea salt. Then, it could be filtered to extract refined salt.
As for sugar, it would be one of the main specialties of Vietnam in the future.
By planting sugar cane, using sugar cane as the main raw material, it can be made into white sugar, coarse sugar and other products through the processes of extracting juice, purifying, evaporating, crystallization, separating honey, and drying.
Right now, the mainstream sweet product in Great Qin was still honey.
Not only was it expensive, but it was also very rare.
Even Ying Mu, the Young Master of the Great Qin Empire, rarely had the chance to eat it, let alone the commoners.
It was easy to imagine that once Ying Mu created white sugar, Great Qin's merchants would go crazy and come running over.
The road was dangerous and difficult.
Even if it was a mountain of blades and a sea of flames, they would not back down.
As for the last spice?
If Ying Mu remembered correctly, the origin of the aniseed and dried orange peel was in South Yue.
There were also tea leaves.
In the northern side and even the Xiongnu, these things were incredibly valuable, and it would not be a problem for them to attract Great Qin's merchants.
"In other words, I don't need to come up with any small inventions. I can just rely on the products of Vietnam to attract all of Great Qin's merchants and earn a huge amount of money.”
"No, my territory is south of South Yue, so it's useless to ask for Great Qin's money.”
"Rather than using Great Qin's currency to trade, it's better to make your own coins. That's the true profiteering.”
"As such, when trading with Great Qin's merchants, we definitely can't ask for half a tael. Instead, we have to trade for items or make it so that they have to use their own Vietnamese currency to trade, forcing them to think of ways to use their resources to exchange for Vietnamese currency.”
"Only by doing this can we maximize the benefits and harvest Great Qin's merchants like leeks.”
When Ying Mu thought of this, his heart couldn't help but pound.
This reminded him of the United States in his previous life.
Just by relying on large-scale printing and adjusting the currency exchange rate, he could harvest the countries on the blue planet and even the entire human race like leeks.
If he could make the coins he created circulate throughout Great Qin or the entire world, he would be able to obtain a large amount of money.
Would he be able to harvest the entire world's leeks like the United States in his previous life?
Compared to this.
The so-called trade of white sugar, refined salt, spices, and so on.
They were all weak.
