Romance must be short, and only short can romance be achieved.

Guo Dan, who has now contracted the entire Ming Dynasty economy, has not spared much time to talk about love, which has also made the candlelight dinner a precious memory.

The next day.

"President is early! General manager is early!"

"morning!"

......\n

When Guo Dan and Kou Weisha appeared in the hall, the employees of the Yass Store stood up to say hello.

"I'll treat you to the morning when I get refreshments." Guo Tan smiled.

"Thank you, General Manager."

"Thank you, General Manager."

The employees immediately cheered.

Kou Weisha pursed her lips and smiled, and she naturally knew why Guo Dan was treating her.

When I arrived at the office, I saw Aunt Xu sitting on the sofa making tea.

"Wow... When did Madam work so hard, she actually got earlier than me?" Guo Dan said very surprised.

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "I rarely miss this morning." Speaking of this, she smiled at Guo Dan and said, "It seems that you have gained a lot last night!"

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you know?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yaoyao walked in. Compared to before, Zhu Yaoyao today seemed to be more relaxed, happy, and more beautiful.

"President is early, general manager is early."

"morning!"

Aunt Xu glanced at Guo Dan and said, "Look with your eyes."

Guo Dan laughed and said, "It's not a shame that he's a veteran, you can see it at a glance."

Aunt Xu rolled her eyes a little.

Zhu Yaoma glanced at them and asked with a little guilty look: "What are you talking about?"

"Say you're even more beautiful today." Guo Dan laughed.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Zhu Yaoyao blushed and gave him a blank look.

Kou Weisha smiled and said, "Okay, let's have a morning meeting first! There are many things to discuss today."

"Abide by the order!"

Guo Dan came to the office chair and sat down, Kou Weisha and Aunt Xu came to the office desk and sat down.

Zhu Yaoyao first handed them a piece of information, then sat down next to Kou Weisha, and said, "What you see now is the supply of food and grass for the Korean War. At present, we have supplied one million stones of food to the front-line army, of which 500,000 stones were sent from Liaodong Town to Pyongyang. This part of the transportation consumption is about 3 to 1. For every stone of food transport, three stones of food will be consumed."

Aunt Xu said: "This is already very good."

Zhu Yaoyao nodded and said, "After the Battle of Pyongyang, our logistics has also entered the second stage. The main supply is one million stones of grain we purchased in North Korea and Japan in advance. The food transportation consumption of this part is very low, only one to five. However, since our army only recovered the Pekan Road, Hamkyung Road, Hungkai Road and one-third of the Gyeonggi Road, the only grain that can be used is 500,000 stones, and the remaining fifty stones are still hidden in the enemy-occupied areas.

Now our logistics supply will enter the third stage, and we will also send the grain directly to the front line through maritime transportation. Within a few months, we have stockpiled two million stones of grain in Shandong, Tianjin and Liaodong regions.

Not long ago, Lu Wang had already set out with Tianjin Wei's 500,000 stones of grain. If everything goes well, our transportation consumption should be able to remain one to one. Without using the domestically stored grain, we can hold on for about half a year. If it is the best situation, we can hold on for seven months, and at worst we can hold on for three months."

Aunt Xu said: "Yinuo Insurance can provide 300,000 stones of grain, but Yinuo Insurance currently lacks currency."

Kou Weisha said: "The ammunition production workshop we built in North Korea has begun to supply the front line and will be fully supplied soon. Since the raw materials are equivalent to free supply, we only need to pay the employees' remuneration. According to the previous few battles, the monthly ammunition expenditure is about 20,000 taels. Based on the scale of 40,000 troops, plus the bounties of the soldiers, we will have to spend about 5 million taels in half a year."

"This number is acceptable." Guo Tan nodded with a smile, "I hope this war can be ended within half a year."

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "If you are willing to dispatch the navy, I believe the war will be able to end soon."

Guo Tan said: "That depends on the domestic economic situation."

Kou Weisha immediately handed over a document and said: "Nan Zhili became the biggest beneficiary of this war. Since Nan Zhili just completed its layout last year, many processing workshops were built in the local area. Starting this year, they immediately received a large number of orders. This year, the deed tax in Nan Zhili is expected to double that of last year."

Guo Dan frowned and said, "Only twice?"

Kou Weisha smiled and said, "Did you forget how many shares were sold in Nanzhili last year? These are all subject to deed tax. However, this year, it is impossible for Nanzhili to sell so many shares. It can double the deed tax paid by the workshop alone, which is a very good result.

The second biggest beneficiary is the Bozhou area. The raw materials they stockpiled in the past two years have now been sold out. Bozhou has now become an important place for silk, medicinal materials, and wine.

Bozhou is also the prefecture that benefits the most from grain. Because the local area produces a lot of grain, it is not convenient to transport it out, so it can only be used to make wine and then transport it out. The local wine is very popular with everyone. After years of development, it has become one of the most expensive wines in the country."

Guo Tan asked: "How many banknotes are we currently issuing in Bozhou?"

Kou Weisha said: "Five million taels, 70% of which are in the hands of the people of Bozhou, and foreign merchants only hold 30%. Since the merchants directly remit money from the money house instead of exchanging Yinuo coins locally, our Bozhou money house has no pressure."

Guo Dan nodded slightly and suddenly asked, "What's the situation in Weihui Mansion?"

Kou Weisha smiled bitterly and said, "The situation in Weihui Mansion is that the stock price is rising, but there are not many changes in the rest. At present, Weihui Mansion's economy seems to have reached a bottleneck. This war does not stimulate Weihui Mansion very much.

Weihui Mansion has used almost all the wind and hydraulic power, including Kaifeng Mansion, Huaiqing Mansion and Zhangde Mansion. However, since no businessmen are willing to move out of Weihui Mansion in order to pursue water and wind power, all the merchants in Weihui Mansion are now pursuing a new driving force. Before finding new driving force, it is difficult for Weihui Mansion's economy to grow on a large scale."

In the past few years, Weihui Mansion had actually completed two transformations. The first time was to transform large-scale hydraulic and wind workshops. Anyone who could not be produced by wind and hydraulic power should be scattered as much as possible and directly included in the people of Kaifeng Prefecture and Zhangde Prefecture to do it, and then the final processing was carried out in Weihui Mansion.

The second transformation is to pursue higher precision technology industries, because the profits in this area are high and meet the needs of Weihui Mansion's labor costs. Almost all low-level processing must be outsourced. For example, in terms of firearms, Weihui Mansion specializes in producing gun barrels and gun barrels.

Other prefectures are still in the stage of the extracurricular economy from small peasant economy to commodity economy. Weihui Mansion has completed two major transformations, which is really incomparable. The main reason is that Guo Dan takes advantage of the contracting Weihui Mansion to attract all production industries to Weihui Mansion, including a large amount of investment and craftsmen with superb skills in various places.

A state capital that is so small, and it is such a big market, is actually a cheating act. We are all engaged in a feudal small peasant economy, but you are developing a capital system, which makes other state capitals unable to catch up, and they can't even see their backs.

Although the three-campus system is now implemented nationwide, trusting this thing cannot be restored in a day or two. The businessmen of Weihui Mansion believe that I have difficulties in Weihui Mansion, so Guo Dan will definitely help us.

But if I had difficulties in Nanzhili, the local government would not be able to save me. If I didn’t take the opportunity to blackmail me, I would have to burn high incense.

Not to mention other aspects.

The merchants of Weihui Mansion only invested in other state prefectures, and they followed Yinuo Group. We would go wherever he went. If he retreated, we would follow him, but no one moved the principal and profits from Weihui Mansion.

In fact, there are still many places across the country that can use hydraulic and wind power, but they never thought that unless Guo Dan went to contract, the risk would be too high. But at the same time, the whole country is commoditizing, and the demand outside is increasing.

This war should have stimulated Wei Hui Mansion, but Wei Hui Mansion did not think the same as before, and made a fortune because of it. Instead, it was Nanzhili, Shandong, and Bozhou profited.

The main reason is that the productivity of the four Henan prefectures has gradually been difficult to maintain external demand, and I have thought of a solution. Even the landlords of Weihui Prefecture have made compromises and given up the abundant water supply to workshops, but it is still a bit insufficient. However, as merchants, there is no way to make money.

The only way is to pursue new sources of motivation.

This may also be the only gain of Wei Hui Mansion in this war, which is that it makes the merchants of Wei Hui Mansion feel a little weak. Although their market is as stable as Mount Tai and has not shrunk one inch, the problem is that this market is expanding. Are you watching others occupy the market?

This actually exceeded Guo Dan's expectations. He did not expect that it would change so quickly, because there was no such reference in the history of capital. The West was all small countries and they needed to seek markets. The process was very slow, and the Ming Dynasty itself was a large market, but production was concentrated in a very small state capital.

This kind of outbreak is very terrible.

Guo Dan suddenly said: "I want to drink tea and have someone come to cook a pot of water."

Aunt Xu was stunned and said, "I just made a pot of tea."

"This water is too cold, I want to boil a pot again." Guo Dan shook her head and shouted out the door: "Xiaoxiao, come in and boil the pot of water."

Xiaoxiao outside the door replied, "Yes, I'll arrange for someone to go and burn it now."

"Take it in and burn it." Guo Dan said.

"OK."

Kou Weisha frowned and said, "It will be very hot to put it here."

Guo Dan said: "If it's hot, take off your clothes."

“…!”

The three beauties rolled their eyes at the same time.

Xiaoxiao quickly ordered someone to put a small stove specially used for boiling water and making tea, and then put a kettle on it.

Guo Tan said: "You keep talking."

At this time, Yang Feixu knocked on the door and walked in, handing a letter of information to Guo Dan, "This is the information just received from Luzon Island. We have already measured the entire Luzon Island. There are a large amount of wasteland that can be reclaimed. Because we purchased food in the South China Sea area on a large scale, the people there are all working hard to reclaim. Tong Qianhu means that we have to move the people over quickly, otherwise, the land will be occupied by others. Oh, the letter also said that we have occupied a group of islands such as Java and are currently under investigation."

It has always been such an understatement about the expansion of the South China Sea islands.

This is not for show-off, but for reality.

No one cares.

Tong Li took Luzon Island, and no one in the court praised him, but they felt that they were idle.

Because for the Ming Dynasty, those islands were not something we could not occupy, but what we didn’t want, but we just included them all, but it was not as good as those of the border troops and nine towns.

Guo Dan took the letter, looked at it, and sighed: "This takeoff is a bit too exaggerated. How could I get through it?"

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "Isn't the cabinet looking forward to doing something to show their authority?"

Guo Dan nodded thoughtfully and said, "This is a good idea. It is more suitable for them to persuade farmers and triads, but... but I can't help them openly."

Aunt Xu said: "As long as you write to Your Majesty and you will arrange it, they will definitely stop it."

Guo Dan's eyes lit up and she said, "Madam, you are smart."

Zhu Yaoyi suddenly said, "The water is boiling."

Bang bang bang!

The lid of the pot was leaping at the mouth of the pot with heat.
Chapter completed!
