As soon as Li Sheng finished speaking, Li Er and others immediately grasped the key.
"High-end textile industry?"
"What is this?"
"How is it different from the textile industry?"
Li Er sounded very surprised, and then exchanged glances with Wei Zheng, Chang Sun and Wuji. As expected, these two people also looked confused and confused. Apparently, they had never heard of "high-end textile industry".
.
Isn’t the textile industry just about textiles? Isn’t it also about indiscriminate textiles?
Of course, the textile industry deals with cloth, and of course there are indiscriminate things.
When moving to America, it is impossible to move only part of the cloth - such as red cloth and yellow cloth, and then leave the rest in China.
How is this possible? Don't people think of ways to make dyes and make various patterns of cloth on their own?
Thinking about it this way, Li Er felt it was very outrageous.
Doesn't this still mean that a large amount of Datang's local profits have been transferred away? Then wouldn't Datang still lose a fortune in vain?
No matter what kind of textile industry this "high-end textile industry" is, there is no doubt that this is the case.
What's the point of doing this?
At this moment, Li Er didn't understand what kind of powerful pills Li Sheng's Gourd was selling, so he had to ask what this "high-end" textile industry was.
At this point, no matter how strong his mental quality was, Li Er couldn't help but blush.
Damn it, as a father, you have to ask your children for advice on everything. This is really true.
However, we must ask clearly, it is impossible to get around this.
Although Li Er lowered the curtain to meet Li Sheng, the curtain was close to the emperor after all, and he could observe Li Sheng through the curtain.
But what surprised Li Er was that when Li Sheng heard this, he didn't take it seriously, and then he explained what the high-end textile industry was.
The so-called high-end textile industry is a textile industry that is more complex than the general textile industry, and the cloth produced is also more exquisite.
Li Er was startled when he heard this.
It seems that I can vaguely grasp what Li Sheng means, but when I think about it carefully, it seems that it is not clear.
After thinking for a while, Li Er tried to digest the information conveyed by Li Sheng, and expressed his understanding while digesting it.
"That is, like an internal combustion engine, it is related to a steam engine?"
"Compared to steam engines, internal combustion engines are the high-end textile industry?"
"It can be said that the high-end textile industry is one of many high-end manufacturing industries. In short, those who produce good and top-notch goods are high-end industries, and the rest who produce ordinary goods are naturally conventional manufacturing industries."
"I see."
Li Er had a clear understanding. This meant that the Tang Dynasty would use another thing to replace the textile industry. But here comes the question. How huge are the profits of the textile industry? If we engage in high-end manufacturing now, what will happen in the future?
The profit is meager, wouldn’t this still be a huge loss of profit?
But this time Li Sheng didn't wait for Li Er to ask a hundred thousand questions again, and explained directly.
"High-end manufacturing, in terms of scale and employment, is actually not as good as traditional manufacturing, but the profits are comparable, and can even be said to be far higher than the ordinary textile industry - Yue
The more exquisite and sophisticated things are, the higher the profit will be. Your Majesty will always admit this, right?"
"So there is no need to worry about the profit issue, and because the high-end textile industry can make huge profits with a small amount of manpower."
"etc!"
Li Er couldn't help but ask, "If a small number of people can make huge profits, won't other people in the textile industry lose their income?"
"If this is the case, wouldn't there be a huge gap between the rich and the poor in the Tang Dynasty? I don't agree!"
Although it was Li Sheng's suggestion, this conclusion was so obvious that Li Er was furious on the spot.
Even if it was Li Sheng's suggestion, Li Er couldn't accept this kind of thing!
What's the use of just having profits? Profits are used to make people happy.
If there is no profit to be made, then there is nothing to say. Now a few people will make huge profits, and most of the remaining people will get nothing. If the emperor really adopts this kind of thing, wouldn't he be tired of sitting in the country?
Experience the feeling of being rebelled!
But just as Li Er reluctantly rejected Li Sheng's proposal, Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji, who were standing on both sides, both looked thoughtful.
The two of them did not disagree with what Li Er had just said, but they felt that it was impossible for Li Sheng not to understand such a simple truth.
It is said that if you promote good people, the people will be in conflict with each other; if you have rare goods, you will have thieves; if you don't have few people, you will have trouble with inequality.
To put it bluntly, whether you are a den of bandits or a majestic empire, any collective composed of people will have internal conflicts, and basically all internal conflicts can be summed up in four words: uneven distribution of spoils!
Originally, it was a good thing to create wealth and benefit the textile industry with a wide range of benefits, but now that Li Sheng has done this, the good thing has turned into a bad thing.
It’s not that the high-end textile industry itself is bad, but that the structure of those who can benefit from it has changed. Only a very small number of people can make such huge profits. Isn’t this just to prevent chaos in the world?
Li Er thought hard, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized there was something wrong with it!
But it was Li Sheng's suggestion after all, and Li Er felt it was hard to deny it easily. What if there was any way inside?
It was absolutely unique in the Tang Dynasty that Li Er could have such an idea.
And it's not just an ordinary one. Not only did Li Er begin to doubt his own common sense, but so did Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji.
So Li Er asked the two ministers to look at him, and then continued to look at Li Sheng.
I said these thoughts again.
But Li Sheng only smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty, how could this cause conflict? The happiness index of the people will only be higher."
Li Er had never heard of a "happiness index", but the meaning of Li Sheng's words was still very obvious.
Li Sheng didn’t think there would be any problems at all!
This made Li Er feel shocked. The contradiction in this was too obvious. Li Sheng's talent in every aspect has been verified long ago.
How come at this juncture, I can’t see the facts clearly?
Li Er's brows were furrowed, his eyes were surprised, and this time Li Er didn't even need to turn around to look, he knew that Wei Zheng and Changsun Wuji must also be confused.
After all, politics is nothing more than human hearts.
This would definitely lead to confusion, and Li Er couldn't figure out how Li Sheng couldn't see it!
"this."
Li Er was shocked for several seconds, but this time, before he could ask more questions, Li Sheng continued.
"Your Majesty, in the ordinary textile industry, one person earns one tael of silver a month. In the high-end textile industry, one person earns one hundred taels of silver, and the remaining ninety-nine people earn nothing."
