There are people who do illegal business, but no one does the business that loses money! Wang Shouzhong and Fei Honglin are both standard businessmen, and they are also full profiteers, and they have long coveted overseas interests, but with their energy, they can't eat their mouths, but with Gu Zhenhua's support, it is completely different.

Giving up the power of the salt works and turning to overseas operations may be a new path!

"Lord Wang, the villain also has a few silk workshops in his hands, selling 8,000 pieces of cloth overseas every year, don't tell the truth, the small one is pitiful, you see if you want to expand the workshop again, if you nod, the villain immediately goes to Zhejiang to buy the workshop and buy mulberry fields!"

"Under my banner, to oppress the people and take advantage of it?"

Fei Honglin hurriedly shook his fat head, waved his hand and said, "Lord Wang, you have wronged the villain, how can the villain have such courage!" ”

Gu Zhenhua smiled: "Don't care if you have the heart or not, it's not worth doing such a laborious thing." This king makes money naturally to make the easiest money, from raising silkworms to reeling silk, to weaving, printing and dyeing, that is the most troublesome, you are not tired, this king is too slow! ”

"Oh?" Wang Shouzhong's eyes suddenly lit up, obedient to the meaning, this prince is not a layman!

"Lord Wang, what tricks do you have, please give me some advice!"

"Hahaha, it's very simple, didn't Daming establish the City Ship Division before, and this king wants to take the City Ship Division in his hands. In addition, it is stipulated that all transactions with foreign countries must go through the market and trade elsewhere, which is illegal. After controlling the personnel, the king is going to set up three institutions, the first of which is the Trade Review Committee. The second is Daming Bank, and the third is Daming Maritime Escort Company! ”

Wang Shouzhong and Fei Honglin glanced at each other a few times, obviously not yet figuring out these three brand-new terms.

Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "The first trade review committee." It is to select a group of well-known Chinese and foreign businessmen to supervise commerce, evaluate commodities, and provide consulting services. Whether it is internal products for export or foreign purchases, they must go through this committee. ”

"Wonderful!"

Before he finished speaking, Fei Fatzi stretched out his thumb. smiled: "Lord Wang, your trick is really amazing, this committee is nominally helping." Secretly, it has a monopoly on domestic and foreign trade, and the oil and water are abundant, which is even more terrifying than our salt works! ”

"Wrong. We're not helping in name. It's a sincere help, not only to protect the domestic businessmen, but also to protect the Yiren, so that they can't be deceived! ”

"Huh?

Wang Shouzhong asked in surprise, "What's in it for us?" ”

"Two, no matter what you do, as long as you master the formulation of the rules, you can make the most money, and the same is true for you salt merchants! It is important that this judging committee is objective and impartial. Considerate service. As for really wanting to make money, look at the next two institutions! ”

"Lord Wang. Tell me about it, the villain can't help it! ”

"The so-called Daming Bank, in fact, is the upgrading of the money village, overseas trade, the Yi people brought silver, is their silver dollar, how to exchange with the banknotes of the Ming Dynasty? How to price and how to ensure fairness? Trading between merchants alone will certainly not work. When the Yi merchants came, they had to store the silver dollars in the Daming Bank and exchange them into the currency of the Daming Dynasty to purchase. When domestic merchants sell goods, they also have to go through the Daming Bank to withdraw cash. ”

Fei Honglin was still thinking about what was going on, and this time Wang Shouzhong laughed first.

"Lord Wang, you are really big-minded, big-minded, you can pinch the lifeblood all of a sudden!"

Fei Fatzi hurriedly asked, "Brother Wang, what kind of knowledge is there?" ”

"Hahaha, Brother Fei, if you think that both parties are trading in Daming Bank, wouldn't the bank be able to accumulate a lot of silver? When the time comes, how much money can be made by releasing this silver, back and forth? If it is really done, we will hold this silver in our hands, and none of the ticket numbers in the world can be anything else with us! ”

"Really?" Fei Fatzi also screamed in surprise.

Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "Not only that, if you have accumulated more silver, you can also bank bills, that is, silver tickets, with silver as the backing, you don't have to worry that these silver bills will become treasure money!" ”

"Yes, yes! It's a lot of trouble to hold so much silver, but it's still comfortable to hold a thin silver ticket! Fei Fatzi's fingers twisted, and the temperament of the money fan couldn't help it again. Took out a delicate gold abacus from his pocket, this abacus has been with Fei Fat for many years, made of red gold, and the abacus beads are made of fine mutton fat jade.

Fei Fatty's sausage-like fingers crackled on it, and gradually saliva flowed down.

Looking at his pig brother appearance, Wang Shouzhong and Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but despise him.

"Lord Wang, can you tell me what happened to that escort company?"

"As the name suggests, it is to provide protection for ships passing by, and for maritime merchants, although the profits are huge, but every time it is almost a life-and-death struggle, purely with the head to enrich the rich. The escort company draws manpower from the sailors to form an escort formation to protect them through dangerous waters. ”

Wang Shouzhong nodded: "The prince thinks about it thoroughly, if it were me, he would be willing to spend money to keep him safe!" This escort company is another big piece of fat! ”

"Not only that, but after the operation, you can also set up an insurance company, that is, each ship pays a certain premium, which adds up, once a ship encounters a shipwreck, the loss of goods, you can withdraw several times the premium from the insurance company, compensate for the loss, this is risk sharing!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Wang Shouzhong laughed and said: "In the past, I always heard that some maritime merchants encountered a storm on the road, and the goods were lost, and people couldn't survive, with your idea, they didn't have to die!" This money is guaranteed to be spent by someone! ”

Fei Honglin also understood at this time, and thought about Gu Zhenhua's idea before and after, it was simply seamless, perfect to the extreme, and the interests of all aspects were taken care of.

The merchants may know that they have taken the lion's share of the profits, but so what!

They will also send the silver up obediently with both hands, and trade with overseas, this is a high-risk industry, without a big man to support it, it is definitely a big risk, spend some money, next to Gu Zhenhua such a big tree, it is definitely worth it This is Gu's mutual benefit and win-win!

"If you two have any other ideas, you can talk to this king, can you refer to them together!"

"No, no, the prince has thought too thoughtfully, the villain can't help but throw his hands and do it immediately!" Fei Honglin said with a smile.

Wang Shouzhong frowned, looking like he wanted to say something.

"Let's put it bluntly, this king doesn't want to hide it."

"Then the villain dared to say it!" Wang Shouzhong gritted his teeth and said: "The villain heard that the Zheng family in Fujian controls the sea and is powerful, and they have to take a cut of all trade. If the prince also intervenes, will it lead to conflict? ”

Fei Honglin laughed and said: "Lao Wang, you are just too conservative, what kind of thing is the Zheng family, just a pirate, you can still put it in the eyes of our prince, just send some people and horses, and exterminate them!" ”

Gu Zhenhua waved his hand: "The Zheng family is indeed not to be underestimated, especially since they have been operating at sea for many years, in terms of strength, the sailor of An ** may not be their opponent!" ”

"So, what should I do?" These two people were surprised, not to mention the good thing, the huge business opportunity was actually disturbed by the water thieves!

"It's not difficult." Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "The Zheng family is certainly not to be underestimated, but Zheng Zhilong's eyes are narrow, he doesn't have the courage to compete with this king, it's just a matter of letting him make some profits, if he doesn't agree, this king will let them roll to the sea to be water thieves again!" ”

When he said this, it was domineering and full of majesty, Fei Honglin and Wang Shouzhong were fascinated by it, and couldn't help nodding.

"Lord Wang, with your support, the fat on this sea will be eaten in your stomach!"

Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "This king's plan has told you, the problem of salt politics must be changed, of course, it is not to kill all the salt merchants, but to cling to the nest and want to continue to get something for nothing, that is not good!" It just so happened that Lord Chen Qianfu was about to rush to Xuzhou, and he would preside over how to change the specific salt administration, what should you do, you know it in your heart. It's just that for now, we should pay attention to secrecy, and don't let people who shouldn't know about it. ”

"Don't worry, the villains will be tight-lipped and do their best to assist Lord Chen!"

After the discussion was settled, these two were beaten down, and they were all followed by An **'s secret agents, if they dared to talk nonsense, they would immediately turn into corpses.

If you settle the salt merchants, you will have money, and if you take down the overseas interests, An ** will be equivalent to stepping on the cotton ball and ascending to the sky in one step!

Thinking of this, Gu Zhenhua couldn't help humming a little song, grabbed a stack of drafts casually, and began to write a new army expansion plan.

By the end of the year, 50,000 main battle troops will be built, and next year it will reach 100,000, and the garrison force will also reach 300,000. With these horses, there was hope for the Northern Expedition Tartars.

Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but solemnly write a line on the draft: One year of preparation, two years of counteroffensive, three years of sweeping, and five years of success!

When Gu Zhenhua was writing, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Grandpa Guo, something is wrong!" Wu Kaijie ran in in a panic, he was anxious, and cold sweat broke out on his head.

"What's the big deal, the sky is falling?"

"Lord Wang, take a look, it's almost like the sky is falling, and I can't bear my humble position, so I can only find you as a big man!"

Gu Zhenhua took the secret guard casually, and only then did he take a look, and he also widened his eyes.

"The Tartars are ruthless enough, how many mausoleums have they dug up?"

"According to Li Jinao's news, six imperial tombs have been dug up, but only two have dug out the coffins, one is Changling, and the other is Siling!"

Gu Zhenhua gritted his teeth: "The tombs of Chengzu and the first emperor have been dug up, and the Tartars are taking revenge!" ”

"Lord, this time the Tartars are also smart, they claim that it was done by the indignant Manchu children, and the Tartar court has nothing to do with it!"

"Fart!" Gu Zhenhua said unceremoniously: "It's just speculation and sale, plagiarizing the copyright of this king!" ”

Wu Kaijie smiled bitterly: "Lord, don't care what you say, I rule the country with filial piety, I'm afraid that there will be big trouble!" (To be continued......)
