Ganqing Palace.

"Hu, I really didn't expect it to be so relaxed. Haha!"

After Wanli criticized the memorial of the Lu King's relocation of the vassal state, he finally couldn't help but laughed proudly.

This is much easier than he expected!

This made him very happy. The haze brought to him by the crown prince was wiped out!

The Emperor and Shang combination is still strong!

Guo Dan quickly flattered and said, "This is all because of Your Majesty's wiseness and his Gang's arbitrary behavior. Those of them are not your opponents."

"Haha!" Wanli was a little gloomy, and he also had a reason to gloom. His performance was indeed quite exciting. He hid all the civil and military officials in the court and asked Guo Dan again: "What are you going to do next?"

Guo Tan said: "Report to Your Majesty, the next step we will integrate the pirates along the coast. These pirates can not only escort our cargo ships, but also gain experience in sailing from them."

Is it that difficult to come out of the sea with the power of the Ming Dynasty?

You have to collude with the pirates.

This is mainly because this matter must be carried out in secret and cannot be done publicly.

First of all, Guo Dan hopes to temporarily monopolize most of the trade to avoid trade from impacting Wanli's dominance;

Secondly, if the sea ban was to be lifted, there would be endless disputes within the country. As the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, I didn’t know that I would fight for the year of the Monkey and Horse Month, because it involved the interests of the canal transportation.

Guo Dan couldn't wait, so he and Wanli wanted to avoid the court and fly solo, so Wanli naturally could not use national power to compete for maritime interests, which could only integrate some pirate forces along the coast.

Wanli's expression was a little restrained and said very cautiously: "You must be extremely careful about this matter and must not be revealed."

If this emperor hooked up with pirates, it would be embarrassing if it spread.

"Please rest assured that your majesty will never disappoint your majesty."

"I believe in you."

Obtaining an outlet is just the beginning for Guo Dan.

This will be a very long road.

And this also indicates that he not only has to fight against the old internal forces, but also with the capitalists outside.

"Congratulations to you, my husband, for finally getting what he wants."

Kou Weisha sent a cup of tea in front of Guo Dan with both hands.

Guo Dan brought the tea and smiled and said, "It's not so exaggerating, it's still what I want."

Kou Weisha smiled and said, "I remember when we were still a small family, my husband was already thinking about overseas trade and he never forgets it."

“Is there any?”

Guo Dan said a little embarrassedly.

Kou Weisha just smiled and said, "But I can't understand. Is overseas trade really that important? There are so many places in China that can let us do business, why are we eager to take this risk?"

She always felt that there was no need to go overseas, at least for the time being, and there was no need to go here. She couldn't finish everything. Now she was just a few supermarkets, and the business of the dentist was twice as much as possible.

Guo Tan said: "Madam is right. The domestic market is still very large, and we occupy only the tip of the iceberg, but the problem is that they have no money."

"No silver?"

Kou Weisha was a little stunned and said, "Although ordinary people don't have much silver in their hands, those big landlords still have a lot of silver in their hands."

She paused for a moment and said, "I also know that those big landlords have the preference for stocking up silver, but it is not difficult to ask them to take out the silver with their husbands. Nowadays, aren't some landlords hoping to buy shares in our Yakushu?"

Guo Tan smiled and said, "My wife misunderstood what I mean. I said they have no money. It's not that they can't make money from them, but that they are eager for money."

Kou Weisha looked puzzled, as if she could not understand at all.

Guo Dan explained again: "Madam, is the difficulties we have encountered so far? Is it brought to us by the transaction? No, and on the contrary, so far, we have only had smooth sailing in the transaction, but in other aspects, we have encountered walls everywhere.

The problem we need to solve is not to find a way to make money from those landlords, but to use money to solve problems other than transactions. Since they all like silver, as long as we control a large amount of silver, we can use money to solve problems other than transactions.

I am eager to carry out overseas trade to earn silver, but I am more about using overseas trade to solve the difficulties we encounter at home.”

Kou Weisha suddenly realized.

Guo Dan's weapon is money. He has no power or status. Now the people around him are all because of money, not because of other things. His means to solve any problem are based on money, so he must first control a large amount of money.

Of course, he still concealed a little, just to help Wanli loosen his ties.

Although Wanli holds great power, he is restricted by ministers everywhere. One of the important reasons is that he has no money and can do nothing without money. Once Wanli has enough money, the power in his hand can be well reflected.

The current overseas trade is mainly for domestic, not overseas.

However, Shen Shixing knew nothing about them. In fact, if you tell them directly, it is difficult for them to understand. They are given 100 million taels, and they just save them and leave them for their descendants, and they don’t know how to spend them.

Shen Shixing and others were concerned about the system of vassal kings and how to implement specific matters of reforming vassals.

At noon that day, Shen Shixing asked Wang Xijue to come to Jinyulou for lunch.

"The Wei Hui Mansion incident was a hot topic. Now that I suddenly changed the vassal state, I am afraid that it will cause panic among the people of Tianjin Wei. Therefore, this matter must be explained clearly to Tianjin Wei, and there must be no misunderstandings." Shen Shixing walked upstairs while instructing Wang Xijue.

Wang Xijue nodded and said, "Brother Shen, please rest assured, Wang Jiaping has written to Tianjin Wei."

Shen Shixing shook his head and said, "It's not enough to just write letters. I'd better send someone to it, it's safer."

While they were talking, they came upstairs and suddenly heard someone say to the table next to them: "Brother Chen, congratulations, congratulations."

Another person fucked a Tianjin voice and said, "Why are you happy?"

First, he said: "Have you heard that the court has decided to change the Lu King to Tianjin Wei."

"What did you say? King Lu wants to join our Tianjin Wei Jufan?"

"Um."

"Oh! This is really deadly. You can watch it. The government will ask us to pay the money again. Congratulations to me."

Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue stopped his steps at the same time and looked sideways. He saw two middle-aged men wearing silk sitting on the table next to him.

"You listen to me first. The Lu King was renamed Tianjin Wei, but Guo Dan will be responsible for the entire relocation of the vassal."

I saw that the person with a Tianjin accent suddenly turned to joy, "Are you serious?"

“It’s true.”

"Oh! This is a great joy!"

"I envy you. Wherever Guo Dan goes, let alone you businessmen, even ordinary people can make a fortune. This time, your Tianjin Wei will be developed."

"Haha, I originally wanted to come to Beijing to do business. Now it seems that this matter has to be slowed down. If Guo Danzhen goes to Tianjin Wei, then I won't come to Beijing."

When Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue couldn't help but look at each other, his eyes were full of embarrassment, and the two of them walked towards the third floor without showing any expression.

Wang Xijue said depressedly: "Brother Shen, it seems that we don't need to explain more, just tell them that Guo Dan will contract."

Shen Shixing nodded with a wry smile and said, "I really didn't expect that Guo Dan already has such a reputation among the people."

Wang Xijue sighed: "I have always been puzzled about this matter. Why are many things that seem very difficult in our eyes, but they can always be easily solved when it comes to Guo Dan's hands. Have we read all the books we have spent in vain?"

Shen Shixing didn't understand it, it was indeed very puzzling.

What they didn't know was that there were two people discussing this matter just behind Liangyuan, behind Jinyu Tower.

These two are Fang Fengshi and Aunt Xu.

"Change the vassal of Tianjin?"

Aunt Xu said incredibly surprised.

Fang Fengshi nodded and said, "This matter has just been decided, and the matter of changing the vassal state is entirely responsible for Guo Dan. Although as far as I know, Guo Dan was forced to pay for the Lu Wang to change the vassal state to avoid Lu Wang going to Weihui Mansion and disrupting his arrangements in Weihui Mansion.

But he made a suggestion in it, that is, to let the vassal kings go to desolate places to become vassals, and the place where the Lu King changed his vassal this time was Yuyang Port in Tianjin Wei, which was a deserted bay. I still remember that the layman mentioned that Guo Dan must solve the vassal king's problem, and there may even be a solution. Look at this matter."

"To be honest with Shangshu Fang, I still think that Guo Dan will definitely solve the problem of the vassal kings. Otherwise, he would never agree. Not only does he satisfy the treatment of all the vassal kings, but he also shares the tax and profits equally with those vassal kings. There must be a lot of things in this."

Aunt Xu thought for a while, but didn't have much clue, so she asked Fang Fengshi again: "I wonder how Shangshu Fang thinks about this?"

Fang Fengshi said: "I have carefully inquired about this Yuyang Port. There is nothing strange except Linhai. Tianjin Salt Field is not there, so there is no profit to make. I think Guo Dan hopes to go out to sea with this?"

“Go to sea?”

Aunt Xu opened her beautiful eyes, and a blonde and blue-eyed face suddenly flashed in her mind, and she said, "Franjiman."

Fang Fengshi said in surprise: "What Franjiman?"

Aunt Xu was slightly stunned and smiled and said, "Shangshu Fang thought it was not wrong. Guo Dan was most likely planning to go overseas and carry out overseas trade. There is huge profit. However, at present, only Yuegang is allowed to carry out overseas trade in my Ming Dynasty. However, Yuegang is too far from Weihui Mansion. Tianjin is not only located near the sea, but also a transit place for the canal. The river channel is well connected. If Guo Dan wants to carry out overseas trade, then Tianjin is the best place."

Fang Fengshi asked again: "So is he going to go to sea or to solve the problem of the vassal king?"

"He must solve the problem of the vassal kings. A desolate place?" Aunt Xu frowned slightly, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Do you think he wants to place the vassal kings overseas? To carry out overseas trade, overseas islands are very important."

Just then, a servant came over and handed Aunt Xu a letter, "Landman, this is a letter just sent from Weihui Mansion."

"Weihui Mansion?"
