The reason why Wang Xijue was able to unite people's hearts so quickly was that the biggest hero was actually Guo Dan, so Guo Dan naturally didn't help him for free.

Merchants are not good people.

It's something to be rewarded.

And the reward is a nod and a wind sprint group.

Now it is not a problem for a nod to enter Nanzhili, in the previous several publicity, many people are very supportive of a no, especially the people of Jiangnan, the people of Jiangnan really hate this fire tax, Zhang Juzheng was originally a good intention, but was used by these officials as a tool to collect money.

Now the key is to "open shipping" and "waste transportation".

By sea, this resistance is not very large.

Because there are many officials in the Jiangnan generation who support the opening of maritime transportation, every few years this matter will make a fuss in the DPRK and China, but because of the high risk of shipping, no one dares to take this responsibility, in case the ship sinks at sea, the officials will naturally not be able to come up with money to compensate, what can be done?

On the contrary, the Cao Yun involved many interests, and the officials who supported the Cao Yun were naturally more determined, so they made so many troubles, but they never succeeded.

Now Guo Dan is responsible for taking all these risks, so of course everyone supports it.

If you sink, you will pay for it.

Guo Dan himself is also willing.

The most important thing is the "waste transport", which can affect the interests of many people.

Fortunately, in the current situation, Caoyun is actually dying, and this struggle is also their last battle.

In the past, everyone supported Caoyun because Caoyun affected the interests of the people in the states and counties along the canal, not only because of the bureaucrats, but now Fengchi Group is obviously better for the people, and the people are more willing to support Fengchi Group.

Only the bureaucrats were left to support the movement.

"My lord, Cao Yun is very important to the country, how can it be entrusted to a private person, why not nationalize this Cao Yun." Wan Jian said immediately.

As soon as this remark came out, it was immediately supported by Wang Yihe and many other officials.

They are still reluctant to give up Caoyun, they think that since salt can be nationalized, Caoyun can naturally do it.

Wang Xijue sighed deeply and said: "We have also thought about this matter many times, but transportation is not the same as salt, the imperial court has always controlled salt, but the imperial court has never explicitly stipulated that merchants are not allowed to transport it." ”

Wan Jian asked, "What does it matter?" ”

Wang Xijue said: "This is a big deal, in this case, the imperial court can't directly get rid of the Fengchi Group, so do you think that if Caoyun is nationalized, it will be able to compete with the Fengchi Group?" ”

Wang Yihe said: "The imperial court entrusted Guo Dan to transport, and it also had to give money, if this money was given to Cao Yun, how could it be competitive." ”

Wang Xijue said: "You think too simply, and Guo Dan thinks too stupidly, opening sea transportation and scrap shipping are actually the same thing, if it is only scrap transportation, and not sea transportation, I dare to guarantee that Guo Dan will never dare to get involved in Cao Yun." Because of the freight given to them by the imperial court, it is impossible to make money, and they will inevitably lose money, and an important reason why Guo Dan dares to contract Cao Yun is to open sea transportation. ”

Wan Jian immediately said: "This is very simple, our state-owned enterprises also use sea transportation." ”

Wang Xijue said: "This river ship and the sea ship are not the same, to build a sea ship but it takes a lot of money and time, even if it is built, it also needs a lot of talents in this area, and now the Fengchi Group almost monopolizes the shipping, and concentrates all the shipping talents, including the big cannibals, the Francois people, the Japanese people, and as far as I know, now there is no guarantee of the Fengchi Group, this ship does not dare to go to sea, because for fear of pirates, only the ships of the Fengchi Group are unimpeded at sea." ”

Xu Weizhi was surprised: "Does Guo Dan already have such power at sea?" ”

Wang Xijue nodded and said, "Have you forgotten the port of Luwangfu?" In fact, when Jinyiwei was able to capture Luzon, it all relied on the Fengchi Group, since the last return to the sea ban, a large number of sea ships in the imperial court have been changed into river boats, and now the imperial court has no ability to cross the sea to fight. ”

When it comes to Luwangfu, everyone understands that in this regard, Wanli supports Guo Dan, although Wanli's support does not mean that they also need support, but if they do not use administrative power to directly suppress the Fengchi Group, it is a fundamental competition, even if the imperial court gives great support.

Fengchi Group controls shipping, if you don't take shipping, the cost is too high, and now there is a better choice, so why doesn't Wanli choose a more cost-effective way, in fact, this is all his, but if you take shipping, the imperial court does not have this ability.

But who can be blamed for this, not only can they be blamed for being too greedy, playing finances almost bankrupt, and often fighting infighting, and now they are powerless in the face of Guo Dan!

Wang Xijue said: "But the imperial court will never allow the Fengchi Group to cover the sky with one hand, once the sea is opened, the imperial court will also support the rights and interests of our Ming merchants overseas, and the merchants will not be allowed to go to sea, they all have to look at Guo Dan's face, and strive for more maritime merchant fleets among the people, so that the power of the Fengchi Group can be slowly weakened overseas, and at the same time, the imperial court will also strengthen its control over coal and iron, so as to balance the Grand Canyon." ”

—————

"What about Yinuo Qianzhuang?" Wan Jian immediately asked again.

The three magic weapons of Yinuo Group are Fengchi Group, Grand Canyon and Yinuo Qianzhuang, which involve all aspects.

How to check and balance Yinuo Bank?

Wang Xijue sighed, "There is really no way to do this, not to mention Yinuo Money, even many merchants privately mint coins, and it is difficult for the imperial court to control it." As for getting a state-run bank, do you think it will succeed? ”

“......！”

The officials were silent.

In terms of currency, the imperial court really has no capital at all.

State-run bank? Not to mention the common people, they themselves dare not deposit their money in it, you must know that since Wanli decided to strengthen the power of the cabinet, many corrupt officials immediately deposited their money in Yinuo Money.

There is no way, now this emperor has a habit of copying his family, once the court purge the officials, who knows what will happen tomorrow.

In fact, even if they have a way, Guo Dan will not let them succeed, in this regard, he has not discussed with the cabinet, finance is his old business, and he will never allow the court to get involved.

Without the financial aura, he was no different from other merchants, he was able to bluff the salt merchants and the big families in the north, relying on the power of capital.

After some deliberation, Nan Zhili was finally forced to decide to scrap the shipping and open the sea.

But this is not a matter of one sentence, Caoyun does affect the interests of too many people, and the interests of these people cannot be completely ignored.

Wang Xijue also made many compromises in this regard.

Politics is all about compromise.

If the transportation is handed over to Guo Dan and then transported by sea, even if Guo Dan has to make money, the cost is still lower than the previous cost, and the local government has to bear the transportation before, so Wang Xijue decided to calculate this part of the expenditure to the local finance, and does not need to hand it over to the imperial court.

In addition, many of the previous warehouses were leased to the Fengchi Group, and this part of the money was also counted in the local finances.

This money is equivalent to being left to the local government, whether you want to be greedy or greedy.

At the same time, the income of officials was increased.

As for the expenses of the three courts, all of them are covered by commercial tax, but this commercial tax is not deducted from the original commercial tax, but a part of the commercial tax is added to the merchants.

It can't be decided by the government.

Businessmen naturally have no opinion, so many businessmen are not a problem for a three-court system, only reasonable, after all, the three-court is basically for them, and it is rare for ordinary people to fight a lawsuit.

So to a certain extent, this offsets the fire consumption tax, the reason for the fire consumption tax is because the officials and the government can not afford the most basic government service, the Ming Dynasty is very strange that the income for officials is relatively low, and many public officials, and officials have to pay out of their own pockets, can officials not be greedy.

If there are three courts, this picket will basically replace the government service, and there is no longer a need for local government expenditures, and at the same time, the number of officials has increased, reducing expenditures, and increasing revenues, and the officials are of course very happy.

The court and the people also benefited from it.

The people no longer have to worry about being forced to take on the slavery, and the imperial court, as long as the new policy is implemented and the privileges are exempted, the income will inevitably increase greatly, and they don't care about the money of Caoyun.

In fact, this is still the traditional fiscal governance, which is to open up sources and reduce expenditures.

Of course, the big landlords were very unhappy, but they could not stop the new policy now, so they gradually leaned towards Guo Dan, because the imperial court no longer defended their interests, and Guo Dan provided them with a way out, that is, to commercialize the farm products and seek more profits, so that they could offset the increased tax revenue.

They also began to discuss the exchange of land, the consolidation of large farms, and then the planning of converting tenant farmers into hired farmers, which was clearly no longer in line with the commodity economy.

On the one hand, it is ready to recruit those unemployed tenant farmers to build coastal wharves to avoid a wave of unemployment among farmers, and at the same time, it also provides a professional technical team for the landlords to pass on the experience of Kaifeng Province to them.

This is very interesting, the salt merchants fell to the government, and at the same time the landlords fell to Guo Dan.

It can be seen that the economy of the entire Nanzhili is being reshuffled.

On the bank of the Qinhuai River, in front of a small house.

Knock knock!

"Who?"

Ma Po opened the door, only to see a young man with clear eyebrows standing outside the door, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you looking for?" ”

The young man smiled and said, "Mapo, you have already earned me a whole thousand taels, but you still don't know me, but it really doesn't make sense." ”

Ma Po blinked, and suddenly danced in surprise: "You are Guo Dan, no, no, no, Uncle Kou, no, no, no, no, ”

It's no wonder that she is so excited, this is the God of Wealth, who gave her money that she would never earn in her life.

"You're actually right."

Guo nodded with a smile, and said, "Except that you blocked me outside the door." ”

"Oops! Sorry, sorry! Ma Po hurriedly flashed to the side and said with a flattering smile: "Consultant Guo, please come in." ”

Guo Dan took a burden from the guard next to him, and then entered the courtyard alone, asking, "Is Fei Fu there?" ”

"Yes! In! ”

Ma Po shouted at the top of her voice: "Stupid mother-in-law.......! ”

As soon as the words came out, she couldn't help but look like ashes, slowly turned her head, and looked at Guo Dan tremblingly.

Guo smiled lightly: "I like this title very much, and I agree with it very much." ”

Mapo is breathing a sigh of relief.

As soon as the words fell, a crisp voice was heard, "What are you screaming again, bad old woman?" ”

I saw a graceful woman in Tsing Yi walking out with a frown, and when she saw Guo Dan, she couldn't help but look stunned.

Guo Dan beckoned and smiled: "Beauty! Long time no see. ”

This woman is Yang Feixu.

Yang Feixu frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"Of course I'm here to collect debts." Guo Dan took out a sheet from a cloth bag, and unfolded it with both hands with two corners, but saw a big hole in the middle of the sheet.

Seeing this sheet, Yang Feixu's face immediately turned red like blood.

Guo Dan pointed at Yang Feixu, and said with a face full of grievances: "You negative girl, quickly compensate me for the sheets." ”
