The multi-person movement was not successful, and on the second day, the two young men appeared energetic and not at all empty, braving the biting cold wind to walk around the commercial area below.

But now this people are hiding in the house to drink and have fun, and it is said that this is the most popular time for the entertainment industry in Luwangfu.

Package nights? Hehe, there is no such thing, it is generally a season, and many boatmen will spend all their money on it, so there are few people on this street.

"Hey! Lord, it's much cleaner here than when I came back! ”

Guo Dan raised his eyes and looked around.

Zhu Yihua sighed: "But it's much more boring than before!" ”

Guo Dan turned his head to look at Zhu Yihua and said, "What do you say?" ”

Zhu Yihua sighed: "In the past, all the pirates who came here were pirates, and there were very exciting rings to watch from time to time, but now the pirates are almost integrated by us, either they will become merchants or boatmen, but they are not as passionate as before." ”

This is the typical idle egg. Guo Dan just smiled, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Let's go, I heard that the sect academy over there has opened, let's go over and have a look." ”

At the beginning, for the sake of overseas plans, Guo Dan suggested that Wanli build a sect academy to train the clan and go overseas to manage those islands, so as to avoid the state's expenditure on the clan.

"Don't, don't!"

Zhu Yihua grabbed Guo Dan and said, "Don't go there." ”

"Why is that?" Guo Dan said curiously.

Zhu Yihua was very unhappy and said: "There is no reason, this king said that he would not go if he didn't go." ”

Guo Dan was even more curious in his heart, so he said: "I have to go and see, now that my Ming Dynasty is expanding overseas, those clans can go out to the sea to manage an island." ”

Zhu Yihua said: "That... That can't go now, in a few years. ”

Guo Dan wondered: "Why? ”

Zhu Yihua looked at Guo Dan embarrassedly, sighed heavily, and said with annoyance: "Isn't this king afraid of being embarrassed." ”

"Shame?"

"Hmm."

Zhu Yihua nodded and said depressedly: "You don't know, you have to come here to be a bunch of waste, and twenty-seven of them died on the road alone." ”

Guo Dan was shocked and said, "The prince is serious, twenty-seven died on the road?" ”

Although he proposed this sect academy, he didn't care about it, after all, it was all a sect, and he didn't have this qualification, so he had been arranging it by the celebrant supervisor.

Guo Dan said again: "I heard that the prime minister sent them over in a carriage. ”

"Otherwise, they are waste, and they can bump themselves to death in a carriage." Zhu Yihua became more and more angry, and said: "This is nothing, after coming here, in less than a month, another hundred and twenty-eight people died. ”

“.......！”

"How... How did he die? Guo Dan was shocked.

Zhu Yihua covered his eyes and said, "I'm tired." ”

Guo Dan was surprised: "Tired... Exhausted? ”

Zhu Yihua said: "Aren't they all going to go to sea in the future, so they have to strengthen their exercise, but there is a problem with this exercise, many people run two steps and die on the spot, and what is even more tragic is that one person was scolded loudly by the teacher, and he was scared to death." ”

This Ming Dynasty clan is really not the most wasteful, only more wasteful.

It's really worse than animals.

It's an unimaginable waste.

Guo Dan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in his heart, this advice for strengthening exercise seems to be mentioned by me. "That... So what can I do? ”

"Buried."

"Bury... Oh, that's right. ”

Guo Dan nodded slightly.

Died so many people, of course Wanli knew, but so many clans, even if they died, Wanli would not feel distressed, Wanli also asked for more training, they all died so quickly here, if they went to sea, wouldn't they die even worse.

Zhu Yihua suddenly said to Guo Dan: "Guo Dan, do you say that this king will become like them in the future?" ”

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Don't think too much about the prince, now that they are virtuous, the future overseas expansion will all depend on the prince, the prince, you don't have time to be as lustful as them, and you are lazy to do it." ”

Zhu Yihua sighed again: "Don't you know, since the opening of the sect academy, I have been there twice, but it has made me have nightmares for many days. ”

Guo Dan comforted: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, the sect academy is to strengthen the ability of the vassal king and put an end to this kind of situation." Let's go back, it's cold enough. ”

It's a fart, if you just get to the door and see a few corpses coming out, it will be really embarrassing.

......

Because the end of the year is approaching, there are still many things to do in the dental store, Guo Dan can't stay here for too long, so he stayed for four or five days, and then he set off to return to Beijing.

During this period, he mainly discussed with Zhu Yihua and Xu Wei how to deal with North Korea and Japan.

Although the Ming government and the opposition were not concerned about this, both Guo Dan and Xu Wei believed that this battle was actually crucial, because it was very likely to determine the situation in Northeast Asia as a whole.

At present, the Ming Dynasty does not have absolute dominance in Northeast Asia, and it used to be coaxed with money, but now it is unwilling to give out the money, and this dominance is naturally reduced a lot.

First of all, this Japan will definitely not accept the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has not thought about fighting it, but it wants to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

That Toyotomi Hideyoshi is also a generation of heroes, how can he be willing to be subordinate.

Secondly, Jianzhou is not a peaceful lord, Nurhachi is a hungry wolf hiding in the shadows, and he may pounce at any time.

As for North Korea.

Although North Korea is also so corrupt that it is not worth mentioning at all, it has the role of a flag, that is, when North Korea falls to whom, it proves who is the boss in the region.

At present, Daming is still the boss, but many people are not convinced.

Therefore, after returning to Beijing, Guo Dan also entered the palace first and reported the matter to Wanli.

"That's great!"

Wanli was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "At present, there are still many people in the DPRK and China who are quite critical of the military reform, if this battle can play the heroic style of our Ming army, it is enough to make those people shut up." ”

In fact, the reason is not only that, the fat house also has its own careful thoughts, because if you want to become an emperor through the ages, you must have civil and martial arts, but Banzhou and Ningxia fought happily and far-reaching, but nominally they were a little aggrieved.

If Japan invades Korea, it will be able to make a big fuss.

Guo Dan said: "If Your Majesty grants permission, we must act quickly, because there is not much time left for us, and we must immediately create a tense atmosphere in Japan and Korea, spread war suspicions, prompt Japan to send troops, and at the same time sell all the firearms we have eliminated to North Korea." ”

Wanli blinked and asked, "How much do you say this eliminated firearm can be sold for?" ”

Guo said lightly: "At least it can be sold for 300,000 taels, although in my Daming, these are all obsolete weapons, but for North Korea, it is the most advanced firearm in their country, and the price is naturally higher than that of China, and this is just a bird gun, after the bird gun is bought, it will definitely have to buy ammunition, as long as North Korea uses our bird gun, this will be a sustainable deal." ”

"Good, good!"

Wanli nodded happily, this eliminated firearm is more expensive than new, this deal can definitely be done, he doesn't have the kind of eloquence of Chengzu, what kind of thick and thin, fat house heart is so big, he just likes to take advantage, he will not feel ashamed at all, and said: "I will immediately dispatch Jinyi Wei from Luwangfu to North Korea." ”

Since Zhang Whale left, this Jinyi guard has returned to his old job, which is to spy on military intelligence and do things in neighboring countries.

In China, the East Factory is basically watching.

In fact, this is also manifested in Wanli's policy of external expansion, and if he wants to cultivate both internally and externally, it is impossible for both intelligence departments to keep an eye on the country.

Guo said lightly: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Regarding how much benefit the war can bring to Wanli, Guo Dan has emphasized countless times, and there is no need to say more.

Wanli suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, I have something I want to ask you, about my plan to purge the rule of officials and rectify the dynasty, you should have heard about it." ”

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I have heard about the lowly position earlier, but I don't know much about this matter." ”

He always kept a certain distance from government affairs, and guaranteed his pure merchant blood.

Wanli laughed and said: "I don't plan to ask you anything else, I just want to ask you about financial affairs, you have talked a lot about national finances before, so I don't know what you think?" ”

Guo Dan groaned a little, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the lowly position thinks that the national finance is different from doing business, blindly pursuing profits, but the income and expenditure must be balanced, as far as the lowly knows, the current imperial court is often Yin eats grain, if there is a little bit of wind and grass, it can only increase taxes, resulting in the people are complaining, falling into a vicious circle." And the reason for all this is a serious imbalance between income and expenditure. ”

Wanli nodded and said, "You have a lot of sense, so how do you think we should put an end to this phenomenon." ”

In fact, the emperor is the biggest reason why Yin eats grain.

But this ass decided to make his head, now he is not short of money, and he has made a lot of money by buying shares recently, so of course he doesn't want the officials to eat grain, and he has to take the money out to make up for it, which of course he doesn't want to.

Guo Dan said: "I think that the budget system can be adopted, first calculate the annual income, and then formulate a strict expenditure plan according to the income, control every expenditure, if the income decreases, the expenditure should also be reduced accordingly, on the contrary, the income increases, you can also appropriately increase some expenditures, even if you encounter unexpected things, you should try to change the expenditure plan, rather than easily change the total amount of expenditure, so that you can try to avoid the phenomenon of eating too much food." ”

In fact, it is not impossible for Yin to eat grain, such as the United States is not happy, from the government to the people, but the Ming Dynasty is far from reaching this realm, the key is that the Ming Dynasty did not control the currency, and there was no large group of powerful partners around the Ming Dynasty who could lend money to the Ming Dynasty.

In this case, if Yin eats the grain, he will eat the people to death.

This balance of payments is very important.

Wanli nodded and said, "That makes sense, after you go back, write down this budget system in detail, and then submit it to me." ”

Guo Dan said: "Obey orders." ”
