Explain ONE way the ideas of Chang Han provided the economic context for Zhu Gaozhi's decision on Zheng He's voyages.

Chang Han views the merchants as uncooperative and foolish for believing that they have the upper hand on the trade market. One way Cheng Han provides economic context for Zhu Gaozhi's decision on Zheng He's voyage, is how he expresses that "As to the foreigners in the Southeast, their goods are useful to us just as ours are to them". This shows how economically these 2 parts are dependant from each other and that will encourage Zhu Gaozi to increase Zheng He's voyages to get more goods that can boost the economy. 'The more the merrier'

Explanation:

"Merchants boast that their wisdom and ability are such as to give them a free hand in affairs. They believe that they know all the possible transformations in the universe and therefore can calculate all the changes in the human world, and that the rise and fall of prices are under their command. These merchants do not know how insignificant their wisdom and ability really are. . . . . . . “If farmers do not work, there will be an insufficiency of food; if craftsmen do not work, there will be an insufficiency of tools; if merchants do not work, circulation of the three necessities will be cut off, which will cause food and materials to be insufficient.” Foreigners are recalcitrant and their greed knows no bounds. . . . As to the foreigners in the Southeast, their goods are useful to us just as ours are to them. To use what one has to exchange for what one does not have is what trade is all about. What does Zhang believe about merchants?"
