Zhao De has been doing his best to cultivate his nephew, firstly for the sake of the family, and secondly, for his son to have personal help in the future, after all, he will also grow old.

Zhao Xuanlin agreed to his uncle's request, for him, it was not difficult to get married, and he didn't care when he saw the young lady of the Wang family, so he readily agreed.

"Uncle, now that there are more and more refugees coming from the north, I heard that wherever the army goes, it will inevitably burn and loot the local gentry and wealthy merchants, and I think we must make some plans in advance."

Zhao Xuanlin doesn't look at reading all day long, but his observation of current affairs is also very serious, especially now in troubled times, this year's peasant uprisings in various places have reached a new climax, and the Ming army seems to be unable to resist. As for the Houjin in the north, after attacking Shandong for a while, he quickly made adjustments and attacked his neighbor Mongolian Sauron.

Therefore, at this time, the attention of Houjin is actually not as much as the peasant uprising in the Ming Dynasty, but more attention, especially Li Zicheng.

Everywhere Li Zicheng went, he would kill all the local gentry, officials, and businessmen, and then confiscate his family property for military expenses, which was one of the main sources of military expenses for the army. His approach has already made many gentry and businessmen a little frightened, after all, no one wants to die.

Zhao Xuanlin mentioned it at this time because there were many refugees in Guangzhou, including many gentry and merchants from other places, and the reason why they came here was to escape the killing of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang.

There are also some people who came from Shandong to escape Houjin, so Guangzhou at this time was relatively safe, as can be seen from the influx of refugees.

Zhao Xuanlin's intention to let Zhao De make plans early was actually to let him transfer his assets, after all, the Zhao family's assets were basically all in Liangguang, and if King Chuang's army came over, those would become waste paper.

"Xuanlin, you and my uncle and nephew don't have to hide it. Tell us what you think. Zhao De stared at his nephew and asked him to speak his heart. In the past three years, he has been taking care of doing business, expanding the Zhao family's assets and fields, and he really hasn't paid much attention to the situation in the world.

This day looks like the sky is about to change, he is still like a person in the dark, but this can't be blamed on him, after all, the entire south of the Ming Dynasty is still relatively peaceful, and the main reason is that there are no disasters here.

"Uncle, at present, the gentry and merchants in many places in Liangguang have transferred some of their family properties to Hong Kong, although it is close to Liangguang. But after all, the territory of the Australians, the Australian firearms are also famous, the most important thing is to keep the money in the Australians to be guaranteed, even if they lose it, they will compensate, but it is much more than the money bank. ”

According to his own observations, Zhao Xuanlin found that many gentry and merchants in Liangguang deposited their money and jewelry in the Australian Bank, and Australia also promised to compensate for the cost of making as long as one was lost. There are examples of this, which is why many merchants keep their money there.

There are also some bold ones who went directly to Australia to invest, but Zhao De has heard of this. Although his wealth is accumulated by Australian talents, he doesn't want to go to Australia, after all, Daming's sense of belonging here will make him stronger.

The transfer of assets is very popular in Liangguang at present, and it is not a secret. Zhao De, as a celebrity in Liangguang, naturally knows it.

Nephew Zhao Xuanlin's statement, in practical Australian theory, is to share the risk, eggs can't be put in one basket, so as not to break together.

The Zhao family's assets are all in Liangguang. Most of the purchased lands are in the Liangguang Prefecture, which is very dangerous for the Zhao family, once King Chuang's army comes over. That's not a little bit of loss.

It can almost be said that the family business that the Zhao family has saved in the past three years will be ruined, and since the relationship between the uncle and the Australian is so good, in fact, it should be supported.

"You mean that our Zhao family's assets should be transferred to Australia or Hong Kong."

After listening to his nephew's words, Zhao De already understood what he was going to say.

"Yes, uncle, after all, the Australians are friendly with you, you will definitely not lose any loss if you transfer some of your assets to Australia, the current situation in the Ming Dynasty is uncertain, and the court is powerless to fight against the thieves, you have to make some plans, it is not easy to save this industry, if the army comes, there will be nothing."

What Zhao Xuanlin said is actually not false at all, King Chuang's army is notoriously hated by the rich, if Guangzhou is captured, it is inevitable that the Zhao family will bear the brunt.

"Well, I need to think about this, but although I have been to this Australian country, it is not our Daming after all, I am afraid that it is not safe for this money to exist there." Zhao De voiced his concerns.

Although Zhao De has a good relationship with Australia, he is more and more worried that if he goes to Australia, these family assets will be swallowed up.

"Uncle, since this Australian can let you earn this family business, you will definitely not be greedy for your money, don't you even have this trust all these years, if so, it will really hurt the hearts of Australians."

"Well, uncle is just talking to you, this naturally can't be mentioned in front of Australians, and it's not that you are not worried about Australians, after all, how much assets the Zhao family has now, maybe you also know it in your hearts."

Zhao De actually has money in his heart, and he is obviously a little too worried, after all, he used to be just a small maritime businessman, running a boat, and the money he earned was not even a fraction of what it is now, and it was impossible to compare it with now.

The Australians gave him everything, but at the same time he was afraid that the Australians would take it back, after all, Daming was not their territory, so he was more at ease, if he went to Australia, it would be different, that would be the point of being slaughtered.

It's actually nothing to think about it like this, but Zhao Xuanlin's suggestion is also good, after all, there are so many gentry and businessmen in Liangguang who transfer their assets, and the sum is no less than their own, so it seems that they should also transfer it.

Thinking of this, Zhao De decided that he should go to Zhang Tianwen to discuss, after all, although he is familiar with Zhao Shijie and others in Australia, Zhang Tianwen usually contacts him the most, and the two are also friends, and they often go to each other's houses to drink and chat.

Zhang Tianwen gave him a lot of ideas, many of which were very useful, and these were proven in practice, so he decided to go to the Australian Consulate tomorrow to visit Zhang Tianwen.

"Xuanlin, I will consider your suggestion, the current situation in Daming is indeed unstable, I should make some plans, I will go to the consulate tomorrow, and I am asking about your study in Australia by the way." Zhao De said this, in fact, he had already advanced into Zhao Xuanlin's words, so Zhao Xuanlin also felt that a stone in his heart had finally fallen, and it was a lot easier. (To be continued......)
