In fact, the battle between the Ming Dynasty and Dong U (Burmese Taungoo Dynasty) has been going on, but there is very little discussion between the DPRK and China, and the sense of existence is extremely low, mainly because most of the military expenses are paid by the imperial and merchant combinations out of their own pockets.

The State Treasury simply bears most of the cost of firearms.

This iron rooster, a profiteer, why would he be willing to pay this money.

First of all, it is a war that is extremely unbalanced.

It's a war between elephants and ants.

In other words, as long as Da Ming does not fall into a multi-front battle at this time, is not invaded on a large scale, and does not make trouble internally, it is almost impossible to lose.

You must know that Daming is now only using the power of Banzhou to fight with Dongwu, and Dongwu is the power of the whole country, this Dongwu can afford it, can Daming afford it?

Who to look down on!

It doesn't hurt at all.

The capitalists also like this kind of war very much, the post-war benefits can be calculated, the risk is relatively low, if the two sides are equal, then Guo Dan will never fight, he can't afford this order.

But then again, can an elephant compete with ants like this?

It's been two years.

Was this war really a hole?

Of course not.

Dongwu is just an excuse, this war is actually fought in Yunnan and Guangxi.

That's the key.

That's why I fought for so long, if I just fought Dongwu, I didn't need to fight for so long, it looked like a foreign war, but it was actually the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

When Li Rusong arrived in Yunnan with his leading detachment, the first thing he did was to manage it militarized, using the advantages of equipment to convert all the local people into reserves, but this was actually a political purpose.

Because once the people become reserves, the general can directly control them, and they no longer need to go through the big toast.

How could the local big toast think of this layer, they all thought that they were fighting, eagerly in their consciousness, Dongwu was a very powerful enemy, always invading them, different from what Guo Dan saw, of course they had to go all out.

However, the second step is to enter Yunnan with Banzhou commodities and use the commodities to exchange for grain locally and replenish the army, which forms a market and lays the foundation for Guo Dan's capital entry in the future, and at the same time can digest Banzhou's production capacity.

Banzhou is very important to Guo Dan, now Banzhou has all used paper money, this currency is the medium, the value of the currency depends entirely on the transaction, if there is no transaction, then there is no need for currency, if this collapses, Guo Dan's entire financial plan will be declared bankrupt.

And the Yunnan region is also deeply benefited, although all the people here are soldiers, but in fact, few people go to war, just the treatment of the Ming army, the soldiers of Banzhou have long been taken, where to get the people of Yunnan.

The local people are just training the birds when they are slack, and most of the time they are still farming and producing, because the army is fighting here, Guo Dan gives the soldiers enough money to spend, instead of robbing the people, the soldiers are also happy, and the local market is also relatively prosperous.

This has even reached the point that the Yunnan region directly sells goods to the enemy, of course, it is also some daily necessities, it is impossible to sell firearms to the other party, at most it is some leather armor, which helps Mongolia consume and consume.

The people of Yunnan are getting richer and richer when they see this, that... This one... Well...!

This is why the people of Yunnan have not complained for so long, after all, the front has already toppled the border of Dongwu, the rear is very safe, they are all making a fortune in a muffled voice, and the ministers of the court have gradually forgotten this battlefield.

Now the protagonist of the battlefield is no longer Li Rusong, he just fought a few large-scale wars at the beginning, until the opponent's elite elephant soldiers were trampled to death by the Ming army's artillery array, Dongwu began to enter the defensive stage, the two sides began to confront, and if they fought a tough battle, but Li Rusong wanted the rhythm most, he was basically holding Dongwu in the experimental tactics.

The real protagonists are already Ye Mengxiong and Li Hualong, these two old men, who are both rigid and soft, are about to become experts in exterminating toasts.

For Guo Dan, it seems that he is paying the bill, but in fact, he is making money, because he has a big market, if he doesn't hit the hole, how can the stock price of the Grand Canyon and Fengchi Group rise!

Wanli is definitely an iron rooster, if he really can't make ends meet, he would have stopped a long time ago, it is impossible to fight for so long, not to mention that this fat house still has many shares in his hands.

This is really a cannon sound, gold ten thousand taels.

Guo Dan is not in a hurry at all about this war.

It can be seen that for a big country, especially a superpower like the Ming Dynasty, this internal affairs will always take precedence over everything, and the most difficult thing is actually internal affairs.

Of course, the dimensionality reduction blow is another matter, if industry fights agriculture, no matter how stable the internal affairs are, it will be in vain.

Nowadays, no one can carry out a dimensionality reduction attack on Da Ming, only Da Ming can reduce the dimension of others.

As the heart of the Ming Dynasty, Nanzhili is naturally the most important battlefield.

This is also the reason why Guo Dan did not stay in Yunnan, but stayed in Nanzhili, about the battle report in Yunnan, he just took a look, but unfortunately, Li Rusong did not have Xu Jirong's brain, Xu Jirong was so smart, he directly wrote the war report, it is not boring at all, and it can be sold for money, how cool!

After Zhou Feng and the others left, Guo Dan and Aunt Xu came to the office.

"How are you talking?"

Guo Dan asked Kou Yi.

Kou Yi smiled and said: "As soon as you come back, uncle, this negotiation has become very easy, I didn't say anything, they all said that they would fully support us." ”

After Guo Danfang left, Zhou Feng was restless, full of guilt, although they were also thick-skinned, but they were not thick enough to be shameless, there was no common suffering, and they were rich and noble, which was indeed a bit excessive.

For some of the arrangements of Yinuo Yaxing, they agreed directly without saying a word, and they were embarrassed to ask.

The effect of Guo Dan's absence is much better than that of being there.

"It's easy as well!"

Guo nodded with a smile, and suddenly asked again, "Is Hu Du here?" ”

Kou Yi said: "It's coming! It should be on the bank's side, because the first batch of one nod has already arrived here. ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "When you get there, you will sum it up with Hu Du, and he will come forward, and we will pay to find a trustworthy salt merchant to cooperate and win a salt production line." ”

Kou Yi was stunned.

Aunt Xu was curious: "Didn't you say that you don't earn this money?" ”

Guo Dan said: "I don't plan to earn this money now, but I must ensure my existence, I don't want to be stabbed in the back by the salt merchant again, and I can also secretly guide them to develop and tell them how to play this game." ”

Kou Yi nodded and said, "I know, uncle." ”

Guo Dan looked at Aunt Xu again and said, "Madam, you may not be idle." ”

Aunt Xu immediately handed over two expectant glances.

Guo Dan said: "According to my observation, the big landlords in Nanzhili are constantly transforming into hired farmers, but at the same time, there are still a lot of yeoman farmers in Nanzhili, but the commercialization of agriculture is irreversible.

Then the pricing power of farm products will become an important means of exploiting yeoman farmers in the future, and it will be impossible for any yeoman farmer to negotiate a reasonable price in the market, and the big landlords will control the market. ”

Aunt Xu said: "Do you want to use Yinuo Insurance to unite those yeoman farmers?" ”

Guo Dan nodded and said: "We are buyers, they are sellers, so whoever can control the pricing power will be able to dominate the farm goods market, in other words, whoever can control the homesteaders will be able to control the entire market." If we do not control the yeoman farmers, the yeoman farmers will inevitably depend on the big landlords, bind themselves to the big landlords, and strive for more profits. That would be very bad for us.

Yinuo Insurance can rely on its own unique advantages, unite homesteaders, lead them to compete for the market, and compete for reasonable returns, then they will naturally unite around us, then we can occupy an advantage when facing big landlords. ”

Aunt Xu thought for a moment, and then smiled: "This trick is good. ”

"Thank you, Madame, for the compliment."

Guo Dan said with a smile.

In fact, at present, Yinuo Yaxing and the big landlords of Nanzhili are allies, and the big landlords have already fallen to this side, however, Guo Dan has seen a farther future and is already planning to deal with them.

After this commoditization, the competition will be for the market, which is completely different from the previous small-scale peasant economy.

It is impossible for yeoman farmers to compete with the big landlords, and if they cannot win the market, they will be slowly eaten up by the big landlords, but if the big landlords completely control the agricultural market, Guo Dan will also be threatened by them.

In case of war, need food, he sits on the ground and raises the price, there is no way to do anything, this person does not destroy the heavens and the earth for himself, you can't blame them for sitting on the ground and raising the price, you are in urgent need, I don't raise the price I am stupid, I can only blame myself for not calculating this.

This is true for businessmen, and the same is true for the country, if you don't stock up on food and don't prepare for it, you can't blame others for raising prices.

Therefore, Guo Dan wanted to use Yinuo Insurance to unite the yeoman farmers, so as to compete with the powerful landlords in the future and compete for the right to price the farm products.

At this time, Hu Du walked in, "General manager, general manager's wife." ”

"Sit!"

After Hu Du sat down, Guo Dan asked again: "How is the money village over there?" ”

Hu Du said: "I have already transported 500,000 taels of Nora to the general manager's request, and the vault is currently counting." ”

Guo Dan nodded, and said: "After the counting, immediately allocate 100,000 taels to Yinuo Insurance." ”

Hu Du was stunned for a moment and said, "General manager, this batch of one Nuo currency is not much ......!" ”

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Guo Dan smiled and said: "It's not too much, I hope everyone knows that our mint workshop has to spend money to mint coins first, rather than minting coins waiting for them to buy, in that case, they will have nothing to fear, and a little less can accelerate the flow of our coins into the market." ”

Hu Du said: "I'll go over and have a look later." ”

Kou Yi said: "Uncle, at present, we are almost ready, about the share sale ceremony, whether we want to make it grand or low-key." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Don't be low-key, be high-profile, and make them feel scared." ”

Aunt Xu couldn't help but smile when she heard this.

She knew that Guo Dan was actually helping Wang Xijue, because only the more scared the officials, the more united they would be, and the smoother the reform.
