The dispute ended in displeasure, and Chen Kai made it clear that he had no intention of leaving the Zheng group. Here, it is not only about Zheng Xiyuan, but more importantly, what if Zheng Jing is the heir, didn't Zheng Chenggong once have to execute this heir in history, there is no need to be afraid of anything. Even to put it mildly, this Zheng Group, whether it will continue to be surnamed Zheng in the future is still a matter of two words!

Leaving Zheng Chenggong's mansion, Chen Kai returned to the residence of the post house. The mansion that Zheng Chenggong gave him to marry earlier was renovated early, but he never moved in, especially after Zheng Zhiguan's death. After returning to his residence, Chen Kai closed the door again, and the next day, there was really a group of people who came to eat almost closed.

The news of Zheng Zhiguan's coffin being opened spread, and the children of the Zheng family, who were still cheering before, were mourned. Zheng Zhiguan has knowledge under the spring, and he should be relieved that there are suddenly so many "filial sons and grandsons".

Iron Mask ruthlessly disposed of the generals who had passed, but Zheng Chenggong was not able to get a satisfactory answer on Chen Kai's side. However, you can't delay everything because Chen Kai is alone, after beating this stick, it is still necessary to give some sweet dates, not to mention that this is the core interest of the Zheng Group.

"Originally, I relied on those old relationships in the clan to maintain trade channels, but now I am afraid that they can no longer be used. The strength of our Zheng family is constantly recovering, and the court is looking at it, in the past two years, the local investigation has become stricter and stricter, and the business is not as good as it was original. Especially after this incident, I am afraid that the court will increase its efforts to investigate, and we must change our face. ”

Zheng Tai returned from Japan, and Zheng Chenggong brought Zheng Qiwu, another trustworthy and business-capable figure in the clan, to discuss the commercial restructuring of the Zheng Group.

"In my opinion, set up shops with the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and were responsible for purchasing goods in the areas occupied by the captives and dumping goods purchased from overseas. Set up the Five Permanent Fleets of Renyili, Zhixin, and sailed along the coast, Japan, Korea, Ryukyu, Dayuan, Luzon, Nanyang countries, and even Batavia. Responsible for the purchase of overseas goods, dumping our Ming silk, porcelain, tea and other specialties. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Tai and Zheng Qiwu still understood that this was Zheng Chenggong's reintegration of the Zheng Group's business resources and relayout, while avoiding the eyes and ears of the Qing court, and at the same time, they also wanted to maximize the use of some resources allocated to the Zheng clan during the Zheng Zhilong period that only enriched the children of the Zheng family and could not enhance the strength of the group.

However, since Zheng Chenggong can bring the two of them together to discuss, he is treating them as cronies. In terms of interests, they will not treat them badly, and as for whether the interests of other Zheng family disciples will be damaged, they can't take care of other families who are close to other families because of the prosperity of the branch and the number of people.

Hearing this, Zheng Tai nodded, and then said: "Actually, now that the fourth uncle has retreated from Baisha, the strength of our Zheng family can be regarded as returning to the banner of Damu. What my father-in-law did back then, such as collecting tolls and renting flags, such as passenger transportation in Nanyang, Japan, Korea, Ryukyu, Dayuan and coastal areas, and human resource intermediaries, these can actually be done again. ”

"Speaking of which, the time when my brother-in-law was in Guangzhou last year not only knocked out the foundation for the reconstruction of the Guangdong Naval Division, but also played the prestige of our Zheng family and re-established the dominance of our Zheng Family's naval division in Guangdong. Now along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong, there is no one who can compete with us except for Hongmao. Even if it is the red-haired United East India Company, they are also doing business, and they have money to earn together, will they still be uncomfortable? ”

When Zheng Tai mentioned Chen Kai, he still praised it very much, and did not change his attitude because of some opinions within the Zheng family. He is a sleek character to the extreme, and Chen Kai has never harmed his interests, so there is no need to offend people plainly.

mentioned these here, Zheng Qiwu also agreed. After all, the Zheng Group has reunited, unlike the earlier split state, and its strength has recovered, but it is easy to attract covetousness.

"The Five Elements shop can be centered on Hangzhou. There is a direct access to the sea, can radiate Jiangnan, Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces, the three provinces of silk, porcelain, cane sugar, medicinal materials, Shaoxing silk, white silk, silk, crepe and so on can be purchased nearby. ”

"The geographical location of Hangzhou is really good, but the foundation of our Zheng family is still in Fujian, purchasing goods from Hangzhou, and then transferring to Fujian, transferring to Zhongzuo, and transferring from Zhongzuo to other places......"

Xiamen is a sea trade center operated by Zheng's Group for many years, and it is an island, which can be shielded by a sailor. Unlike Hangzhou, which is occupied by the Qing army, the shops can still be hidden in the city with a population of one million and merchants everywhere, but to do large-scale sea trade in front of the Qing army is to simply take the Qing court as a blind man.

"In addition to these, I think that it is enough to separate trusted businessmen, cronies, and domestic servants to sneak into the hinterland and lay out various prefectures and counties, regardless of the scale, as long as a small amount is accumulated. These can be used as a complement to the Five Elements Shops and the P5 fleet. In addition, the original relationships should not be abolished, and they should continue to be kept, even if the court knows about it, it can be used as a cover-up. ”

Zheng Tai and Zheng Qiwu are both insiders, and Zheng Chenggong's understanding of Zheng's group's maritime trade is not only more comprehensive, but also clearer in details. Before Jiashen, in the layout of the Zheng Group, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhipeng and Zheng Zhihu who died in the war were all pirates recruited and whitewashed, Zheng Hongkui was admitted to the martial arts examination, Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Chenggong relied on the imperial examination to enter the civil official group, and used the benefits of the sea trade to bribe and rely on the existence of the Dutch to respect themselves, and the entire group developed comprehensively and penetrated into the administrative system of the entire Ming Dynasty, so as not to end up like Wang Wufeng.

With the planning of these professionals, the layout of maritime trade set sail again, Zheng Chenggong simply delegated power to them, and Zheng Tai led the sea trade, set up two warehouses of Yuguo and Limin, and set up five merchants of mountains and seas, and at the same time presided over by Zheng Qiwu, loans from some trustworthy merchants, cronies, domestic servants and others, lurking in the interior to expand trade routes.

As a representative force of trade-oriented mercantilism in the East, the Zheng Group has gone through the plundering of Zheng Zhilong and the split of the Zheng Group, until today, it has been reunified and finally entered a new period of development.

Sea trade is the fundamental interests of the Zheng Group, its profits are huge, Zheng Chenggong is just a small place, with this in the history of raising tens of thousands of soldiers, has become a force that can not be ignored in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, which can be seen. Today, the strength of Zheng Chenggong's department is even stronger than in history, and when the center left office has just been attacked and Zheng Hongkui retreats to Baisha, he decided to further control Kinmen, so that Xiamen Island can be safer with the gateway to the open sea.

Although the two sides have drawn a clear line, Zheng Chenggong does not intend to do things desperately, and leads a large army to attack Kinmen Island, striving to directly remove the defense of the defenders of Kinmen, so as not to the point of bloodshed.

When the fleet set sail, Chen Kai still did not cancel the state of closing the door, but for Lu Ruoteng, Shen Yanqi and others, he could still make exceptions.

In the post house, Chen Kai and Lu Ruoteng sat opposite each other and drank tea, chatting all over the world. It wasn't until a long time later that Lu Ruoteng couldn't bear it anymore, so he said to Chen Kai worriedly: "It's done, you will be burned after all." ”

In this regard, Chen Kai nodded and acquiesced, but then replied with a smile, "Who will be burned in the end, but it is still unknown." Let's see, let's see. ”
