Regarding the looting and burning of the warehouse of Fengchi Group, in fact, Guo Dan had already prepared in his heart, so he did not feel very shocked, because he knew that the other party would definitely be aggressive and would never show mercy to his subordinates, not that he didn't want to avoid it, but that it was unavoidable.

If it could have been avoided, there would have been no conflict between Fengchi Group and Caoyun.

Fengchi Group, Yinuo Qianzhuang, and Yinuo Insurance have indeed hurt the interests of many people.

He would do the same.

Since there is no way to avoid it, then there is only one way to go head-to-head with them.

In this regard, he still trusts Aunt Xu very much, so he lets Aunt Xu take full control, and he focuses on Liaodong Town.

With the arrival of the first batch of new firearms, not only did the generals of Liaodong be excited, but also convinced that they could only be fooled for a while with their mouths, and hard power could convince them.

Not only did he have new firearms, but Guo Dan also brought a large number of new farm tools, and even sent an agricultural team from Weihui Mansion to help the big landowners in Liaodong improve their production models, grow crops reasonably, and promote agricultural production.

The key is that it's all free.

The new farm tools are also half sold and half delivered.

For Weihui Mansion, the larger the output, the lower the cost, and now Weihui Mansion needs a market.

First enter the Liaodong market at a low price, and in the future, everyone will go to Weihui Mansion to buy new farm tools.

In the eyes of those big landlords and gentry, not only do you not collect our taxes, but you also give us so many benefits, which is really not to say.

Everyone is more united around Guo Dan.

"It's really worthy of a good tooth business, it's really rich!"

Fang Fengshi shook his head incredulously and said: "But the old man doesn't understand, you are exempt from agricultural taxes and send farm tools, can you afford it?" ”

Guo Dan said: "I make money, how can I say that there is any burden." ”

"Make money?"

"Of course."

Guo said lightly: "Am I like a person who makes a loss-making business? ”

Fang Fengshi shook his head and said, "This old man really doesn't understand. ”

"If you really want to talk about it, it's really thanks to the imperial court."

Guo smiled lightly: "It is precisely because of the military and political corruption and improper management of the imperial court that the consumption in the middle is simply jaw-dropping, so to speak, if you transport one stone of grain less, the cost saved will be at least ten stone of grain, so in comparison, this benefit is nothing at all." ”

Fang was speechless.

Because he knows it might be true.

However, the truth is not so simple, Guo Dan still collects commercial taxes, and promotes local trade, which is enough to compensate for the agricultural taxes he exempts, of course, military and political corruption is the main reason, if you go back to the Taizu period, the peak of the Wei system, Guo Dan will not have any ideas at all.

There's no profit in that.

Guo Dan asked again: "Fang Shangshu, how is it going over there?" ”

"So far, it's going relatively well." Fang Fengshi nodded, and said: "But this is all based on the relatively weak situation of external forces, if there is a strong northern regime on the border at this time, they will definitely take advantage of the situation, and it will never be so easy." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "This is the best time for us to catch up, and we have no reason to fail." ”

Fang Fengshi said: "But not at this time, it doesn't mean that there will be no in the future." ”

Guo Dan asked, "Why did Fang Shangshu say this?" ”

Fang Fengshi said: "I recently learned about the situation of the Jurchens in the north, the ambition of the Jianzhou Jurchens is not small, they have been attacking cities everywhere in recent years, I think the Jianzhou Jurchens want to unify the entire Jurchen, and the Li family did not restrict the expansion of the Jianzhou Jurchens before, which may be a hidden danger and deserves our attention." ”

"I know." Guo smiled lightly: "But they can't make the climate." ”

Fang Fengshi sighed: "How do you say this?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Even if you compare the speed of development, the Jurchens can't compare to us, and when Jianzhou finally unifies the Jurchens, our Ming may be so strong that they can't reach it, so there is still something to fight."

Of course, we will not give them a chance to reunify, the Jianzhou Nuzhen are fighting everywhere and fighting with all kinds of troops, which will only give us an opportunity to take advantage of, they will create poverty, and we will bring them wealth and tranquility.

When they are full of devastation, we will appear as saviors and let them take the initiative to beg to become the state capital of my Ming Dynasty. So we just need to make the Jurchen people in Liaodong Town happier than any Jurchen people, so as to attract more Jurchens to come to Liaodong to make a living, and naturally, everyone will become a family.

Although I am not against war, the cost of fighting the Jurchens is too high, the profit is too low, and the further it drags on, the better it will be for us. ”

The fact is also true, all Daming needs now is time.

Luzon.

Since the Han Chinese made up the majority of the population, after defeating the Franciscans, they quickly established an official government in Luzon.

At the same time, the Fengchi Group took advantage of the Luzon War to acquire a large number of cargo ships, and then incorporated the Portuguese fleet into it, and the Fengchi Group almost monopolized the shipping of the Ming Dynasty.

This in turn led to the port of Luzon becoming more prosperous.

Today, Tong Li came to the wharf to inspect again, and saw one by one the dock workers carrying bags of grain onto the ship.

Luzon's grain production is indeed very impressive.

The key is that the land here is fertile, the planting cost is very low, and the Central Plains people are good at farming, since Tong Li and they settled here, the grain production here has begun to skyrocket.

Chen Xusheng walked over, "Head! Just now, there was a letter from the Fengchi Group, and the 300,000 stone of grain we bought in Champa and Siam have set off one after another. ”

Tong Li nodded and said, "With the 200,000 stones here, we will be able to transport 600,000 stones of grain within half a year." ”

Chen Xusheng said: "And it is effortless, I heard that the Fengchi Group encountered a tsunami in Siam, and lost about four small boats and more than 6,000 stone of grain, but they calculated that compared to the cost of transportation, it is not worth mentioning at all, I don't understand why the imperial court does not promote shipping, which is obviously more cost-effective." ”

Tong Li asked rhetorically, "Then do you now understand why you haven't been promoted in Jinyiwei?" ”

Chen Xusheng shook his head.

"It's because you don't understand why the imperial court doesn't push for shipping."

“.......！”

Under Guo Dan's order, Guo Dan began to import grain on a large scale, all because the surrounding areas, except for grain, there is nothing to import, in order to promote seaborne trade, Guo Dan imported grain on a large scale.

The Ming Dynasty was indeed short of food, and the price of grain here was indeed very cheap.

"Child-sama! Child! ”

Suddenly, I heard a lame voice.

Tong Kasa looked back and saw several Francois approaching, the first of whom was Martin, the former governor of Luzon.

This Fran machine is also more practical, as soon as he sees that the general trend has gone, this identity can be changed immediately, and the child is not embarrassed at all, which is a little different from the Han people, if it is a Han people, once defeated, death will not stay here.

It's a shame.

"Mr. Martin."

Tong Kasa bowed.

Martin returned the salute and said, "Master Tong, why did you prevent the black slaves from entering Luzon?" Now that Luzon's grain is selling so well, it is not a very complicated problem to buy more slaves to cultivate the land so that you can make more money. ”

Tong Li smiled: "I know, but I prefer to leave the land to the Han people." ”

"Why?" Martin didn't understand, "Or are you going to buy slaves from the Ming Dynasty?" Why haven't I heard that you Ming still sell slaves? ”

Tong Li shook his head and said, "We will migrate some people from Daming to come here to cultivate the land. ”

Martin said: "Those people only need to pay taxes for cultivating the land, and there is no slave to make money, and the food that the slaves grow is ours." ”

Tong Li said: "But I still have a lot of hungry people in Daming. ”

Martin said with an exaggerated expression, "Are you doing a good deed?" ”

Tong Li smiled: "This is decided by our imperial court. ”

“......！”

Martin shook his head and said, "I really don't understand that. ”

Tong Li said: "Slowly you will understand. ”

The prosperity of Luzon led to the gradual rise of the slave trade, but Tong Lisa suddenly ordered that ninety percent of the slave trade was banned, and only some female slaves could enter Luzon, which Martin did not understand.

The booming agricultural market would be a real addition to the black slaves.

But Tong Li is not a businessman, he is an official, and a Ming Dynasty official, he has a deep affection for the field, he looks at such a fertile land, it must be cheap for his own people, this businessman makes a little less, but can solve many problems in the country.

Of course, he is also worried that once there are too many black slaves, he will face public security problems, after all, communication is a problem, and he still trusts his own people.

......

Jingdezhen.

"Bear with it, endure it, bear with it. Plotting, will you be the chief manager, will you not be, let me be, everyone has now ridden on our heads, what can you endure, let's immediately gather men and horses to fight with them, wouldn't it be happy. ”

Xu Jirong was in the hall, jumping up excitedly.

He originally took Liu Xinmou, Zhu Lizhi, and Guan Xiaojie to pretend to be forced everywhere, since Wanli decided to let the third prince study in the Little Uncle Academy, he is indeed infinitely beautiful, and many people want to send their children to the Little Uncle Academy.

But on the way, Liu Xinmou received an order to go to Jingdezhen to preside over the overall situation, and Xu Jirong also followed, and he came to fight, after all, his life is too leisurely, and he needs a little stimulation.

Last time he went back to Ningxia, he soaked in urine and didn't do anything, so he was disappointed.

Liu Xinmou had a headache and said: "If you don't understand, shut up, this strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, do you think this is the capital?" ”

"Whew!"

Xu Jirongang said with this face: "What kind of strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, it's just bullshit, I want to worship with Dan Sheng in Ningxia, what do you say?" ”

What does that have to do with you. Liu Xinmou muttered to himself, and threw two more eyes of help at Zhu Lizhi.

Zhu Lizhi said: "This is the business of the Fengchi Group, what does it have to do with you." ”

Xu Jirong said: "I'm a major shareholder, it doesn't matter, if you don't do it, you will step aside, this little uncle will do it himself, I don't believe in my little uncle's ability, and even a few little people can't solve it." Chunchun. ”

"What does the young master command?" Xu Chun hurriedly stepped forward.

Xu Jirong said: "Gather people immediately, this little uncle will kill back." ”

“......！”

Xu Chun shuddered when he heard this.

Liu Xin conspired: "Don't mess around, this matter is complicated, and you can't act rashly." ”

Xu Jirong only felt a great grievance, and said: "What's so complicated about this, people come to beat us, we will run if we want to, and we will fight back, but with my little uncle's current identity, how can I escape, of course I have to fight back." ”

Liu Xinmou and Zhu Lizhi were speechless for a while.

Guan Xiaojie suddenly asked, "What if I haven't fought before?" ”

With a whoosh, Xu Jirong sat next to Guan Xiaojie and pinched Guan Xiaojie's fat cheeks with one hand, "Xiaojie, you don't believe me?" ”

"Believe in it!"

This face is in the hands of others, Guan Xiaojie nodded busily.

At this moment, a man walked in and handed over a letter, "Chief Administrator, there is a letter from the capital." ”

Liu Xinmou hurriedly took it over, opened it and looked at it, and his face was immediately full of embarrassment.

Xu Jirong leaned over and said, "What do you say?" ”

Liu Xinmou glanced at Xu Jirong, and suddenly said with a dry smile: "You double fools in the capital really have a good heart. ”

"What do you mean?" Xu Jirong asked.

Liu Xinmou said embarrassedly: "It's just... It's just to do it with them. ”

Xu Jirong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "What I said, you don't understand it at all, I still want to be the chief manager." Wow haha.......! ”
