The Chinese people's own selection is really accurate. In ten days, the goods purchased from Europe also sold more than 70 %. This result also shows that in fact, European goods still have markets in China.
Of course, Shang Yi also knows that this is just the first time that China has imported a large number of products from Europe, and it cannot be completely said that the problem is completely. Although the Chinese in this era still have a superior psychology to European countries, but there are quite a few people who are completely out of all people. In a kind of strange psychology, to buy European products, not because of their real life needs. Therefore, they also ordered the Ministry of Commerce to investigate and take a look at those European products that Chinese people often need products. There is also a certain goal.
Although Shang Yi is not born in economics, he also knows that trade in international imports and exports is greater than the deficit is greater than the deficit is greater than the surplus, because the trade surplus also means that there is money to make money, which can add fiscal revenue. , Fisca deficit.
However, the larger the value of the import and export is better, or it is always at a surplus. Once the limit is exceeded, a large number of foreign exchange surplus will be caused, which will usually cause the domestic currency investment in the country's market to increase, which will cause inflation pressure, which is not conducive to the sustainable national economy and healthy development.
In ancient Chinese foreign trade, it was basically in the long -term trade surplus, and there was almost no deficit, and the surplus ratio was extremely large, but it did not cause loan to expand. Small, the surplus income has little impact on the national economy. Although it is also due to the trade surplus and has a tension with European, in the 17th and eighteenth centuries, Europe has no way to use China, but it can only be darkened. This situation also continued until 1840, the beginning of the Chinese and English Opium War.
The cause of the Opium War was caused by Britain's export of opium to China, and the reason why Britain exported opium to China was because at the time of Sino -British trade at that time, Britain was completely in a great trade deficit. deficit.
Now it is different. The Chinese Empire has fully banned the sea, and encouraged trade with European countries. Now the trade amount of one year has reached hundreds of millions of imperial silver dollars, which is more than ten times more than the Ming Dynasty. The absolute trade surplus status was because of domestic war needs, but now the national unity and large war are basically ended, and bilateral trade volume will continue to increase. If China is still at the level of a high degree of trade surplus for a long time, there will be problems sooner or later. Although Europe can not have a threat to China at this time, it is completely possible within China. It is completely possible.
Therefore, now Shang Yi must try his best to find a way from the import of imports from Europe to keep his trade surplus within a reasonable level, so as to allow the national economy to sustain and develop healthy. After Shang Yi, even if someone wants to stop communicating with the outside world and return to the old road of the retreat, it will not be able to do it.
Of course, modern economics has just begun in Europe, so the Chinese people do not understand any surplus, deficit, and inflation concepts. Although some people can understand it literally, they are also true.
Suspicious, after all, there has never been a real inflation in Chinese history. This is because ancient China basically implemented physical land rent instead of currency land rent. Although prices often skyrocketed in Chinese history, this is not because it is not because of prices soaring, but this is not because
The amount of currency circulation exceeds the supply of goods, but because the social production is damaged by various factors, which has caused the situation of supply in short supply, it has caused increased prices.
However, since Shang Yi said that, then do it. Anyway, countless facts have proved that what Shang Yi said is basically wrong. For this situation, Shang Yi is powerless and can only be sent
It is hoped that after the economy is developed, the relevant theoretical knowledge will be gradually generated.
But one thing is real, that is, at this time, the cost of visiting Europe this time has basically been recovered. If the remaining products are sold out, there is a certain surplus.
But at least not lost money, and considering that this visit to Europe is not a pure business journey, there is a large part of the political goals in it, it is very rare.
One of the reason why Zheng He was stopped in the west that year was that the cost of going to sea was too much, and the country could not bear it. Although the scale of visiting Europe this time was far less than that of Zheng He's trip to the West, it was a result.
Less can be self -sufficient. Without spending a penny of the state treasury, some people can strongly fight back some people think that this visit to Europe is a waste of national treasury, which is useless.
The European countries that come to China have also brought some commodities. Therefore, under the request of various countries, Shang Yi also set out a place to display the sales of its own goods for the exhibition at the exhibition. At the same time, it can further examine the European goods
Sales. At the same time, Shang Yi led Xing to draw a stage to let countries take turns showing their own culture and art.
This exhibition also brought the World University market, so it also attracted more people to watch it, just like a large temple fair.
Many people have made a special trip to watch the performances of various countries. Although most people do not know what the performance is because of the language that is not through the language, it still attracts the Chinese people. Because there are too few cultural and entertainment programs in this era
It ’s a chance to have a free scene. Of course, it’ s not wrong. It ’s not important to play. As long
Scholars, as well as foreign mercenaries, are almost Chinese now, so they serve as translations on the stage to introduce the plot content for the audience for free. It has also been popular with many people.
The exhibition has been carried out for more than two months. During this, the Chinese side has also arranged a lot of activities for scholars in the envoys of various countries, and several exchanges have been held. The overall quality of European scholars who came to China this time is very good
High, many people are very well -known scholars in Europe. They all exchanged for Chinese scholars in Europe and visiting Europe. They feel that it is not enough and does not fully understand Chinese culture. After all, Chinese scholars visiting Europe are relatively low level.
Some, so I made a special trip to China to ask for advice from high -level Chinese scholars.
And this time I communicated with them, all of them are well -known scholars in China, such as Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi, Fang Yizhi, Zhu Shunshui, Yan Yuan and others participated in this kind of communication. Both sides are basically elite to elite, and
Under the auspices of Shang Yi, China has translated many books in Europe. Relatively speaking, Chinese scholars have a certain understanding of the ideological and culture of Europe. Therefore, this exchange is more realistic than in Europe.
Although due to the problem of translation levels, the communication has been quite limited, both sides feel that benefits are not reduced. European scholars recognize the profoundness of Oriental culture, and Chinese scholars have broaden their horizons, because at this time, China's thoughts have also developed.
At the highest point, like Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Wang Fu and others, the thoughts of people have reached the highest peak of ancient China, but due to the restrictions of the times, they have not been able to break through the last step.
I learned from European scholars' concepts of humanism, talent human rights, etc., and also opened a new door to them, and saw a wider world.
However, for both parties, they still feel that they are still endless. After all, the cultural and ideological exchanges of the East and the West can not be completed in a few talks, and the level of translation is too backward, and it is quite itchy. Therefore, some European scholars to the empire government
Application, I hope to stay in the empire for a long time, learn Chinese, comprehensively study Chinese culture, and further strengthen cultural exchanges between China and Europe.
Regarding such a requirement, of course, Shang Yi held up his hands to agree, not only immediately approved, but also arranged for a special person to teach Han Yan for European scholars in China, and gave them a certain life treatment. At least it could ensure that they had no worries about their clothes and food.
After they learn Chinese, they can arrange foreign language teachers and translate work.
Although the vast majority of people can not truly fulfill the significance of the comprehensive communication between the East and the West, how far the impact on the East and the West is far, but in general, the various levels of Chinese society, academic and social opinion are on this.
The second cultural exchanges are affirmed and affirmed, and it has promoted Shang Yi to praise this exchange.
However, there are oppositions. There are still some stubborn Chinese scholars who strongly oppose this kind of exchanges. They still determine that China is the center of the world and the country of heaven. Except for China, other overseas countries are barbaric places.
Consciousness, no etiquette, and not human language. Of course, in their eyes, except Chinese, the rest of the language is not human language, so what kind of benevolence is talked about with them.
It should be the above pairs, not an equal communication.
There are also some people who oppose them purely, because Shang Yi called the emperor as an emperor, and did not combine the traditional sages of Chinese traditions. Therefore, some people were dissatisfied.
Not smooth, and Shang Yi advocated self -remarks, so I also borrowed this opportunity to jump out of this time to accuse this Eastern and West exchanges.
The hair has a sè, and it has become sin.
Of course, these opposition voices are just a very small part, and Shang Yi has not been in mind. This is also the negative impact of the freedom of speech, but there are many sounds that appear in everything.
