It's really different from the past!

Whenever Guo Dan came to Weihui Mansion, he usually negotiated with the merchants in Weihui Mansion how to adjust and develop. However, this time Guo Dan did not communicate too much with the merchants. He just held a meeting on industrial structure adjustment.

That's all.

In fact, there is something to talk about. If Wanli didn't come, Guo Dan would talk to them more or less.

After all, he hasn't been here for a long time.

Just as Wanli and the others came, Guo Dan didn’t have much time and energy to spend on them.

It’s not that Guo Dan is ruthless, but this person is always going to grow up and cannot always let the nanny take him. Guo Dan is really tired in front of him. In the past, the merchants in Weihui Mansion lived under his wings, and he was carrying the storms outside. Now the general environment is developing in a favorable direction for merchants, so it is also time for merchants to explore on their own.

Moreover, the merchants of Weihui Mansion actually have great advantages in facing merchants in other regions.

Of course, the key is that Guo Dan no longer needs to use his mouth to organize and induce, because he has controlled the currency and can use inflation to stimulate the economy and conduct macro-control.

Guo Dan came to Weihui Mansion two major purposes: one is to adjust the industrial structure; the other is to determine monetary policy.

It can be seen from this that the court is nominally leading the reform, but in fact Guo Dan is still leading the business. Without currency support, the economy cannot develop, and the flow of currency can turn the court's policies into a piece of waste paper.

Guo Dan’s strategy is to use the simplest and most effective method of currency to control the domestic economy, prevent the court from stabbing in the back, and then shift the focus overseas.

Unlike domestic countries, overseas is a more complex world, full of various factors such as force, culture, currency, race, geopolitics, etc.

And this important task will fall on Zhu Yiliu's shoulders.

Because Guo Dan could not stay overseas, he just focused on overseas. Without the market and productivity of the Ming Dynasty, overseas would become meaningless.

Go to America to be the king?

hehe!

It was easy to say, but the fact was that he devoted his whole life to it. Maybe it was a tribal chief. Rome was not built in one day, and America was built in hundreds of years.

And the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is actually a shortcut.

For Wanli, the important overseas territory must be named Zhu, and he is not stupid. It is still unknown whether he can control overseas territory. After all, no one has played with it before, so he naturally believes in his own brothers. No matter what happens in the future, he will also belong to his Zhu family.

Zhu Yiliu received a good education since he was a child. He even helped handle the government affairs when he inspected the imperial tombs in Wanli. Later, he received good experience in Tianjin Wei. He was able to stand alone, so he was naturally the most suitable candidate.

......

While Guo Dan was formulating a monetary policy at Yinuo Money House, the ministers had already entered a state of vacation and wandered around together. Now Weihui Mansion is an extremely special existence, with too many strange places here.

Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue and Xu Guo rested for two days and also came out.

"Strange, why are there no people on the street?" Xu Guo looked around and said.

Wang Xijue said: "Maybe they are all doing things."

"Five Guns and Four Treasures Store."

Shen Shixing looked up at the sign on the door of a store on the street, and then said to Wang Xijue and Xu Guodao: "Go in and take a look?"

Literary people are just like this.

Xu Guodao: "This store also has one in Beijing, and there is nothing to read. Why don't we go to the bookstore in front to read it. I heard that many people have bought a lot of books."

While talking, the two of them walked out of the store, which were Li Sancai and Zhang Heming.

When the two saw Shen Shixing and the others, they immediately bowed and bowed, "Shen Shou Gong, Lord Wang, Lord Xu."

Seeing that the servants beside them were carrying a lot of goods, Xu Guo couldn't help but wonder: "Why do you buy so many things? You are going to Kaifeng Mansion again soon. How inconvenient it is for you to carry it!"

"Because the four treasures of the study here are relatively cheap."

Zhang Heming is a relatively honest person, he said truthfully.

Xu Guodao: "How much cheaper can this be?"

Zhang Heming said: "At least it's 30% cheaper."

"So much?" Xu Guo opened his eyes.

"It is not only cheap, but also a wide variety, and many commodities are not available in Beijing."

"This is impossible."

Xu Guodao: "They are all five guns and four treasure shops, why are there here but not in Beijing?"

"If you don't believe me, just go in and take a look. Actually, we are not a big seller. I heard that Liu Shaoqing has already bought three big cars." Li Sancai said with a wry smile.

“…!”

Shen Shixing and the others looked at each other.

They never expected that the ministers would buy and buy every day like the imperial concubine.

In fact, the reason is very simple. In the past, they didn’t need to buy it, so the best ones would naturally be delivered to them. But now it is different. The commodity economy has developed, resulting in great progress in innovation. Various types of goods are emerging one after another!

In addition, the new policy also canceled a lot of tributes, and they were all paid to them as salary.

Zhang He sighed, "No wonder Guo Dan mocked us every day. Alas... I went around Weihui Mansion and found out that the people here are not only richer than the people in the capital, but also the prices here are the lowest in the country. This is really incomprehensible!"

They visited the workshop before, but they saw only busy workers and could not feel anything. When they started shopping, they found that Weihui Mansion was much more prosperous than any prosperous era since ancient times.

It's really not from the same world.

Since they all said that, Shen Shixing and the others entered the store. As soon as they started, they immediately subverted their concept of the four treasures of the study.

More than just the four treasures.

There are all forty treasures!

This store is even more spacious than a restaurant. There are more than ten pens hanging on the walls, as many as eight or nine pen boxes, not to mention paper. It is really dazzling to use in various occasions, from expensive to cheap ones. In addition, there are also various rulers, including compass.

"Shopkeeper, what kind of pen is this?"

Wang Xijue asked the shopkeeper inside the counter with a piece of wood.

The shopkeeper replied quickly, "This is an ignorant pen."

"Ignorance pen?"

When Wang Xijue heard this name, he looked surprised. Who would dare to buy it with your name?

Xu Guodao: "Is that who invented me again without knowing?"

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and said, "This pen is made of ink that I didn't know how to invent. He sold the ink to five guns. Then a papermaker of the five guns wrapped the ink in it with a kind of pulp, which became the current pen. Now this pen is sold very well in Kaifeng Mansion, and is called arithmetic pen."

Shen Shixing said curiously: "Arithmetic pen?"

The shopkeeper said, "Yes! Because using brushes is not very good at arithmetic, it is much more convenient to use this brush."

As he said that, he took out an ignorant pen from the drawer and wrote a string of numerical formulas on the paper. Now some of Guo Dan's arithmetic techniques have become popular, including Arabic numerals.

It is really not convenient to write mathematical formulas with a brush.

Xu Guo nodded and said, "It's really convenient."

Wang Xijue asked: "Why is the Five Guns and Four Treasures Store in Beijing not sold this?"

The shopkeeper laughed twice.

Wang Xijue said in confusion: "Why are you laughing at?"

The shopkeeper said, "Everyone is from the capital, are you?"

Wang Xijue nodded.

The shopkeeper said, "If I say it, don't be angry."

"Don't be angry, don't be angry."

"The reason is very simple. I can't sell much in Beijing, so it's not cost-effective to ship it."

"If your products are good, how can you not be sold?"

"Of course my products are good, but the people in the capital don't have much money. At most, they can sell them to those men, so how much can they sell." Speaking of this, the shopkeeper said proudly: "It's not like our Weihui Mansion, everyone buys it."

Xu Guo asked: "Everyone buys it? In this way, every household in Weihui Mansion is studying?"

"Even if parents are illiterate, children have to study!" The shopkeeper seemed to be a little inappropriate, and said, "This is mainly because this ignorant pen has just been released, and Kaifeng Prefecture is still in short supply and has not been sold to the capital for the time being. It will definitely be sold to the capital in the future."

Shen Shixing and the others looked at each other.

It turns out that we are the poor!

It hurts self-esteem!

A shopkeeper in Weihui Mansion who looked at the store looked down on the capital.

But this is reality.

There are many rich people in the capital and a large population, but the consumer group is incomparable to Weihui Mansion. All luxury goods are sold to Beijing, but ordinary goods are still the first to satisfy the content here. Only the remaining ones are sold to Beijing, and it is also possible to sell them to Nanjing first.

It's ridiculous to say that the capital has not yet been commercialized, and the new policy was finally implemented in the capital, and it is a castrated version. After all, the political atmosphere there is too strong.

Now that Mongolia has arrived in goods, it is also the first time to go to Weihui Mansion. If it does not go to Beijing, the consumption capacity of the two cannot be compared.

Suddenly, a scream came faintly from afar.

Wang Xijue said: "What sound?"

The shopkeeper said hurriedly: "It was from the Cuju Field. Today is the top 16 match, and Yinoyaxing will play against the picketing office."

Wang Xijue said: "The picketing house also has a Cuju team?"

The shopkeeper said: "Not to mention the picketing house, even the court and the litigation court have Cuju teams, but their team is not good, but they haven't even made it to the top 16. The strongest one is Fengchi Group. But now it's causing trouble because Fengchi Group is too big, and there are Mongols joining him. This is unfair. They have already made trouble in the court, and I don't know when the result will come."

Xu Guo was even more confused when he heard this and said, "The court still cares about this matter?"

The shopkeeper said, "Of course, everyone doesn't know. Everyone loves to watch this Cuju competition in Weihui Mansion, but it makes money. If anyone wins first, his products will be sold well. When there were not many teams, Zuixiao Tower won the first place. As a result, his restaurant was in a party for half a month, and it was a song every night. How many guests did this group of Cao Da recruit? Now Fengchi Group won the first place for three consecutive years, which is of course unpleasant."

Speaking of Cuju competition, the shopkeeper talks endlessly, which shows the people of Weihui Mansion’s love for Cuju.

In fact, Yinuoyaxing's match against the picketing office was not a strong conversation. The two strongest teams are Zuixiaolou and Fengchi Group. Yinuoyaxing has never been good, but Yinuoyaxing is very popular among everyone, and the picketing office is not so popular. After all, the picketing office is in charge of people.

Off-field is better than on-field.

At this time, the Cuju venue was already in full swing.

"Hurry! Come in! Come in!"

In the VIP seat, a little kid jumped and shouted loudly.

Suddenly, another sound of regret sounded in the venue.

Soon, a roar sound rang.

The child's roar stopped suddenly, and he thumped, knelt on the ground, his mouth sagged and he started crying.

There was also a little boy and a little girl next to him. The little girl was a little unhappy, but now she saw her brother crying, and she started crying.

The other little boy stretched out his little hand and patted them silently on the backs.

At this time, an adult came over, picked up one with one in one hand, and smiled and said, "Why are you crying like this?"

"Dad, we lost, we lost."

The little boy let out a wow, hugging his father's neck and burst into tears.

The little girl cried and said, "I don't want to see my brother sad, wuwu----!"

The little boy who was still standing raised his head and sighed heavily with an old-fashioned look, as if he was saying, "It's really helpless."

These three children are Kou Chengxiang, Guo Chengsi, and Yang Buhui. The person who holds them is naturally Guo Dan.

Guo Dan saw that they were crying heartbrokenly and was very surprised.

Kou Chengxiang's personality combines the advantages of Guo Dan and Kou Weisha. On the one hand, he is very optimistic and cheerful, but on the other hand, he is very responsible and rarely cries. However, after he came here, he immediately became obsessed with Cuju and squatted here to watch the competition every day. Of course, they support Yinuoyaxing!

They witnessed Yinoyaxing entering the top 16 with their own eyes and witnessed their elimination.

This is very cruel!

After a while, the crying slowly stopped.

"Dad...Baby...Baby wants to be a Cuju when she grows up, and she wants to take us with Yinuoyaxing to get the first place."

Kou Chengxiang sobbed while making bold statements.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "You tell your mother, dad doesn't care about this."

"Mom...Mom?"

Kou Chengxiang suddenly shivered, quickly wiped away her tears, and said desperately: "Then let it go, mom, I won't even give the child a certain chance next time."

Guo Dan laughed a few times and said, "Xiang'er really likes Cuju so much?"

"But I like it." Kou Chengxiang looked at Guo Dan with eyes wide open.

Guo Dan pondered for a moment and said, "It is impossible to be a Cuju, but if you can get into Yinuo Academy in the future, your father will hand over the Cuju team from Yinuoyaxing to you to manage."

Kou Chengxiang opened her eyes wide and said, "Really?"

Guo Dan nodded.

"It can't be sure next time."

“Never next time.”

"Dad, don't worry, my child will definitely be admitted to Yinuo Academy."

Yang Buhui suddenly said, "Dad, the child also wants to follow his brother to study in Yinuo Academy."

She loves to follow Kou Chengxiang now, and both her father and mother can be abandoned, and she must not leave Kou Chengxiang.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "That's how Xiaoyue'er reads."

Kou Chengxiang immediately said: "Sister, don't be afraid, brother will help you."

Yang Buhui lit his little head.

Guo Dan suddenly looked at Guo Chengsi and said, "Chengsi, why don't you speak?"

Guo Chengsi said: "Dad, the child is wondering why he can buy horses in the capital, but he can't buy Cuju here, so it must be very profitable."

"You little brat!" Guo Dan immediately slapped him on the head and said, "If you don't want to, just think about it in a wrong way, the national football team is destroyed by people like you."

What is the national football team? Guo Chengsi covered his little head and said aggrievedly: "Dad, didn't you just start with buying a horse?"

Combined with Kou Chengxiang, it is really equivalent to Kou Weisha and Guo Dan. Guo Chengsi was a little upset when he was a child, but now he is more and more like Kou Weisha. He is calm, doesn’t talk much nonsense, is more serious, and is good at observation and analysis.

This was so confusing that Guo Dan almost vomited blood, "Who told you?"

Guo Chengsi said: "Uncle Xiao Lao."

I really shouldn't have handed the child over to that bastard. Guo Dan was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"Ha ha.......!"

Suddenly, I heard a burst of rampant laughter, and I saw Xu Jirong walking over with his head raised, "Haha, Xiao Xiang'er, are you convinced now? Huh? Dandan, when did you come?"

Guo Dan looked at Xu Jirong with a confused look on his face, "I said, "Brother, you actually bullied my son?"

Xu Jirong hurriedly said: "I asked Xiang'er to support the picketing office with me. He insisted on supporting Yinuoyaxing. Who can I blame?"

Guo Dan said: "You don't support me."

Xu Jirong immediately said, "I am the president of the Nanjing Capitol, why should I support Yi Nuoyaxing?" As he said that, he looked at Kou Chengxiang again and said, "Oh! I'm crying!"

Kou Chengxiang snorted: "My father said that as long as I get into Yinuo Academy, my father will give me the Cuju of Yinuoyaxing and I will win back."

Xu Jirong's eyes turned and suddenly laughed: "Xiang'er, our two families are like family, why bother hurting each other? Otherwise, I'll pay for my boss to build a Cuju team. Can you help me?"

Guo Dan almost threw Kou Chengxiang into this guy's face. You have trapped me and wanted to trap my son, and said, "Go to you." As he said, he said to Kou Chengxiang, "Xiang'er, it doesn't matter if our Cuju team loses, but it's just about winning this guy."

Kou Chengxiang smiled and nodded in the cerebral.

Xu Jirong laughed and said, "Dandan, don't blame me for not reminding you that if you play these things, you are not my opponent."

Guo Dan snorted disdainfully: "It's not that I compete with you, it's my son who comes out."

To be honest, he is really not a match for Xu Jirong when playing these things. Xu Jirong is a professional player. From Cuju horse racing to crowing the jungle dog walking, this guy is proficient in everything and can participate in the current professional competitions.

Kou Chengxiang immediately said: "Dad, don't worry, the child will never disappoint his father."

"Hear?"

"I heard that, I won't bully Xiang'er. I will send my boss to the team. At that time, I will hand over the five gun Cuju team to my boss. Xiang'er, don't cry."

Kou Chengxiang raised his little face and ignored this guy.

Guo Dan patted Kou Chengxiang's little face and suddenly asked, "Why are you the only one? Are you not here?"

Xu Jirong said, "They were sitting opposite."

From such a distance, Guo Dan naturally understood that it must be not suitable for children there.

Guo Dan arranged for someone to send Kou Chengxiang and the others back, and he went to the VIP seat opposite. As expected, the rich people were really smelly of wine and meat. Fortunately, they didn't have the bones to freeze to death on the roadside.

"Guo Dan, you stand far away. Now that you have married my sister, you can't do anything randomly."

When Zhu Yili saw Guo Dan coming, he hurriedly raised his hand and warned him.

Guo Dan rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Prince, wouldn't you let these beauties go out?"

Zhu Yili looked around and looked at Guo Dan again. With great reluctance, he called out all the more than ten beauties in the VIP seat.

Recently, the Lu Wang Mansion was occupied by Wanli. Although the brothel girl received some compensation, she had nothing to do. Fortunately, this guy came and stabilized the turnover of the brothel of Weihui Mansion with his own strength.

After they went out, Guo Dan said, "This is not a place to talk about things, let's change the place."

Zhu Yiliu said, "Then why call them out?"

Guo Dan said, "I'm just talking casually."

A few people went to their residence again, which was a very large manor, which has now become their wine pool and meat forest. However, when Guo Dan got there, the manor had been cleaned up by Zhu Lizhi's servants.

"Prince, you should know that you are not going to play with girls." Guo Dan said.

Zhu Yiliu said: "This is done during the day, and it is a matter of playing with girls at night, and this is not a conflict."

Guo Dan rolled his eyes and said, "What I mean is that you must not have this skill at night."

Zhu Yiliu frowned and said, "What does it mean?"

Guo Dan said: "Because you will have two important tasks soon. First, draw a circle; second, negotiate with Franc on the warship transaction."

"The second is easy to understand, but what does drawing a circle mean?" Zhu Yiliu said.

Guo Dan said: "According to the news from Dongwu, Dongwu and Franjimen were both defeated, but Dongwu finally won. However, in my opinion, this is only temporary, and Franjimen will still make trouble there.

The prince needs to tell them that they are here to do business. We are very welcome. We are completely open to them. However, if we burn, kill, loot, we will never sit idly by. The prince will draw a circle in front of them and tell them that within this circle, we are all within the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty and will never allow any force to be involved."

This is quite interesting. Xu Jirong's eyes rolled and he said, "Brother, why don't we change it? You go to the Nanjing Capitol and I'll help you draw circles."
Chapter completed!
