The lesson of this failure will always be fresh in people's minds.

Although Xu Wei has lived here for a long time and has never been out of Luwang's Mansion, he can't help but think about the news from outside, which can be regarded as a summary and reflection of his own failures.

At this time, as an outsider, he has to see more clearly.

Based on his words alone, Guo Dan is worth the trip!

Because for Guo Dan, what he needs is an analysis of the situation, how to get a game of chess, as for how to play, he will only refer to the opinions of others, and will not listen to what he says, as a businessman, his own interests are the most important.

Aunt Xu understands this very well.

At the beginning, she induced Guo Dan several times, but the result failed, and the reason is that Guo Dan always has his own considerations, and he has to consider the economy, but it is difficult for Aunt Xu to achieve it.

But having said that, as for the specific operation, in fact, Xu Wei can't teach Guo Dan, so Guo Dan still has to figure out a way by himself.

Because Guo Dan's system is a brand-new system, Rao is Xu Wei can't see it very clearly, because since ancient times, there has not been a country where businessmen have become the backbone, so for Xu Wei, all this is also unknown.

Their conversation on this matter was limited to this, and after that, Guo Dan chatted with Xu Wei about the Lu Wangfu.

The main thing is to talk about Zhu Yihua.

Xu Wei's evaluation of Zhu Yihua is "absurd and promiscuous".

Maybe it's also because Zhu Yihua has played too much, this black and white, sitting and standing, all kinds of skin tones, all kinds of positions, all kinds of people, he has tasted them all one by one, more than once, a little tired, although he still can play, but he is no longer addicted to it.

Since Wanli included Luzon Island in the territory of King Lu's mansion, this government affairs has given Zhu Yihua a sense of freshness, and he is still very conscientious about it.

It will also govern the Luwang Mansion in an orderly manner.

This Xu Weike will not be willing to be a slave, hard work and resentment, he is very chic here, unrestrained, he can do whatever he wants, about the government affairs of Luwangfu, he just occasionally gives a few words, and he usually never cares, but Zhu Yihua also respects him very much, and generally he will follow his opinions.

In the evening, Guo Dan and Xu Wei came to Zhu Yi's palace for a banquet.

"The prince has really not been singing for three years, and it is amazing, this Lu Wangfu is becoming more and more prosperous under your governance, and other vassal palaces know to ask the court for money all day long, but this Lu Wangfu is making money every day, and it can also help His Majesty make money."

Guo Dan first made a sycophant to Zhu Yihua.

Zhu Yihua listened very happily, after all, this kind of recognition has never been obtained, and glanced at Xu Wei next to him, suppressed a smug smile, and said: "It's not all the credit of this king, if there is no old Mr. Xu's help, Luwangfu would not be as prosperous as it is today." ”

Xu Wei stroked his beard and laughed: "The old man will help the prince spend money every day!" ”

Zhu Yihua laughed and said: "The old gentleman just spends more money, and this king is also willing, this king is afraid that the old gentleman will be a little tired of staying here one day, just like that Shen Weijing, after going out, he will not come back, but it is really unreasonable." ”

Guo Dan hurriedly explained: "Mr. Shen once sent me a letter, and he was planning to come back, but on the way, he saw that our army was heading south to prepare for a war with Dongwu, and he had some thoughts about it, and I also deeply agreed with it, so I asked him to go over and have a look." ”

This Shen Weijing is not a greedy for enjoyment, lazy to do things, he is an idle person, and very adventurous, after dealing with the Penghu matter, he went ashore from Fuzhou, ready to return to Luwangfu, just heard that the Banzhou army is ready to continue to go south, he thinks that his three-inch tongue can help the Ming army, so he wrote to Guo Dan, said his thoughts.

Guo Dan also agreed to let him go over to help.

Zhu Yihua was very dissatisfied and said: "I don't have any talent here, except for the old gentleman, there is only one Shen Weijing left, you still have to get him away, now that he is not here, how can we deal with those widows." ”

"I thought he was going to stay for a while, who knows how long." Guo Dan suddenly asked again: "That's right! What is the current situation in Japan? ”

Xu Wei said: "According to the news from Japan, because they suffered a defeat in Penghu, their plan to invade Korea was delayed, but according to my judgment, they did not give up this plan. ”

Guo Dan was curious: "Why does Mr. have this judgment?" ”

Zhu Yihua hurriedly said: "This is because this year, Li Dan and they found that the number of Japanese pirates in the northeast is increasing day by day, and they have formed a powerful maritime force to firmly control that sea area.

Since the plan we made for Li Dan was to integrate the pirates, but they were not pirates, it was difficult for Li Dan to integrate them, and Li Dan also fought with them several times, but all of them were in vain, so it can be seen that they were pretending to be Japanese soldiers. ”

Xu Wei added: "The old man estimates that the reason why they delayed the plan to attack Korea is because in the first battle of Penghu, they saw the sea power of our army, and they were quite afraid of it, and if they want to fight across the sea, this transportation of soldiers and food will be very important, and they must first control the shipping lane. ”

Guo Dan hurriedly asked: "But according to the finances of the Luwang Mansion, this trade has not been affected, and this year is much better than last year." ”

Xu Wei laughed and said: "Back then, there were Japanese bandits everywhere, it was because I broke off the tributary trade in the Ming Dynasty, and closed the sea, this Japanese country is very dependent on trade with my Ming Dynasty, so they did not hesitate to make a big move, how can they now block the trade with my Ming Dynasty, they just want to control the waterway and prevent Li Dan's forces from infiltrating the past, so not only the trade was not blocked, but under the double attack of Li Dan and the Japanese army, there are a lot fewer real pirates, and Tianjin Wei to the Japanese country, which is unimpeded." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I see." ”

Zhu Yihua said: "Regarding this matter, this king is also ready to play the imperial brother to strengthen our power on the sea, once we control the shipping lane, we may be able to force them to abandon the plan to invade Korea." ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "Absolutely not." ”

Zhu Yihua was curious: "Why?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Because the gains outweigh the losses, if you want to completely control the entire sea area, you have to spend a lot of money, and you may not be able to control it, after all, the current sea navigation is more dangerous, let alone fighting at sea, the most important thing is, what can we get?" ”

Zhu Yihua said: "Sabotaging the plan of the Japanese State to invade Korea, this king is not worried about North Korea, but the Japanese Yelang is arrogant and wants to oppose my Ming Dynasty,"

Guo Dan said: "Then give him a lesson, let them come, let's have a good fight, otherwise, they will not be convinced, so it is difficult to ensure my absolute dominance here." ”

Zhu Yihua hurriedly said: "But it costs more money to fight." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "This Japan and North Korea can afford to spend this money, what are we afraid of, besides, fighting a war is consumption, this does not consume the economy, their country is sparse, and we will need our Ming goods even more." ”

In a small-scale peasant economy, war is a reckless force, but in a capital economy, war is indispensable.

Xu Wei nodded and said: "I am also in favor of competing with the Japanese State, because the Japanese State is overseas, not like the enemy in the north, once the fight starts, it will be endless, and one side must fall until it falls." And the battle of Tumubao that year, so that our Ming army is a loss of face, since then, has never eased up, so that the northern Tatars did not take our Ming army in their eyes. If this battle can show the prestige of our Ming army, it can be used to deter the surrounding forces, and its significance will be very far-reaching, and it will benefit future generations. ”

Zhu Yihua nodded thoughtfully and said, "Then how should we deal with it?" ”

Guo Dan couldn't help but look at Xu Wei, he just wanted to fight, but he didn't know anything about how to fight.

Xu Wei pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "This war is much simpler than a truce, we just need to let the Japanese know that we are preparing to build a fleet on a large scale, then they will not drag on any longer and launch an invasion war before our army is full-fledged." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Coincidentally, I am planning a large shipyard in Liaodong, which should be completed within two years." In addition, our army happens to have a batch of eliminated firearms, and although they have been eliminated, they are still better than those obtained by Japan, and we can use Japan's threat to sell these firearms to the DPRK, and no matter how poor the DPRK is, there will be no problem in buying a batch of firearms. ”

Zhu Yihua hurriedly said: "You can also take it to exchange for their coal, don't you know, all the coal in our Luwangfu this year is shipped from North Korea, this sea is really cheap, and this ship can be used for a long, long time." ”

Guo Dan said: "I thought that the prince would suggest changing women." ”

Zhu Yihua snorted: "Whether it is a widow or a Korean woman, this king has long been tired of playing, recently this king is most interested in the big food girl, because many big food women are mixed up by two different people, there are just a few stunning in my house, last time Xiaojie wanted to take one away, I was not willing, tonight we will go to Le Yile together." ”

Test! You guy really knows how to play, from color play to mixed race, life has come to this point, what more can you ask for! Guo Danzhen was a little moved, hehe said a few times, but then shook his head and said: "Forget it, this is happy for a while, and guilt for half a year, it's really not worth it." ”

Zhu Yihua was curious: "What do you feel guilty about?" ”

Guo Dan sighed: "My wife is so good to my son-in-law, I want to do three twists and seven outside, do you think this is good?" ”

Zhu Yihua looked disdainful: "You are good at everything, but you like to spoil the fun in this regard, I still like to play with my brother Rong." ”
