Although Yinuoya Store had more than ten or twenty times more daily affairs than usual, especially the sudden increase in incidents, Guo Dan was always very calm, unlike before, and he was always panicked.

Because these are all expected things.

It has reached this point, so anything can happen.

Moreover, Guo Dan’s entire plan is to have a multi-line battle plan, including the southwest raw materials, overseas markets, trade and currency, which Guo Dan wants to fight for, and at the same time.

This is capital. If there is money but no market, there will be big problems, so it is necessary to expand at the same time.

In fact, Aunt Xu is right. He should go to Weihui Mansion to preside over the overall situation, but Guo Dan can't go anywhere at the moment because he is currently the only person who can negotiate with Wanli.

Ganqing Palace.

"I am a humble person and I will live my emperor."

"Don't give a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

This "free gift" is followed by a "gift gift", which shows that Guo Dan's position in Wanli's heart is different from the past!

Emperors of the Ming Dynasty rarely gave ministers, and generally used them to those older important officials.

Now Guo Dan is Wanli's only ally and must be treated well!

After Guo Dan sat down, Wanli said, "Today, King Lu sent me a letter saying that there were a lot of Japanese pirates in the seas in Tianjin Wei."

"Report to Your Majesty, Mr. Xu also sent a letter to Bei Zhi."

Guo Tan said: "According to Mr. Xu's estimates, those Japanese pirates may have been sent by Japan. The purpose is to target our port in Tianjin, in order to avoid the Japanese attack on North Korea in the future. Our army can provide support from the sea."

"I will go and clean up that little place sooner or later." Wanli snorted angrily. In fact, the implication was that he had not had the time to spare, and he said to Guo Dan: "This Tianjin Wei must not be missed."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. We have an absolute advantage in anything that happens to Tianjin Wei, because Tianjin Wei Port is solid. Not to mention some Japanese pirates, we are not afraid of the entire Japanese attack. This initiative is always in our hands." Guo Dan said confidently.

This Tianjin Harbour Port is not alone in the overseas world, but is backed by the Ming Dynasty. This supply can be sent continuously. No matter how stupid Japan is, it will not be so stupid.

Wanli nodded slightly.

Guo Dan continued: "Your Majesty, this matter may not be a bad thing for us. We are there to build a big maritime merchant. The emergence of Japanese pirates makes all this rational and will accelerate this plan. Because Japanese pirates are harassed, it will naturally lead to a group of maritime merchants. Then our people can use this to integrate those maritime merchants. To be honest, I really want to say thank you to the Japanese."

"I'll feel relieved."

Wanli just nodded slightly and did not express much joy, because as far as the current situation is concerned, it was just a small problem. He sighed again: "Actually, I am not very worried about that. What I worry about the most is the country! I heard that Yinuo Insurance has been under layers of surveillance in the granaries of various places."

"Yes."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Their purpose is very simple. Since the treasury will not allocate any food to support the Shenji Camp in Huguang this time, everything depends on the million taels borrowed by His Majesty. Therefore, they expect that we may use the insurance food and grass and spend money to buy food and grass. Bei Zhi is preparing to make a plan, earn a sum from them and supplement the military expenses."

Wanli was stunned and asked quickly: "How to make this money?"

Guo Tan smiled and said, "They didn't expect that Bei Zhi had secretly ordered people to buy enough food and grass from Sichuan, Huguang, Guizhou and other places. Bei Zhi's budget would definitely raise the grain price...!"

Wanli nodded and said, "I thought of it too."

Guo Dan said: "Bizhi will help them raise the price of grain in Jiangnan, and then sell all the grain of Yinuo Insurance to them at a high price. Anyway, the grain cannot be transported out. This year, the grain harvest in Jiangnan is bumper, and it is the harvest season. They stock up on a large scale. Then I took the initiative to reveal that I have purchased enough grain and grass, and the price of grain will definitely fall. We will buy the grain from them at a low price. If we count the entire Jiangnan region, I expect to make a profit of 100,000 taels, which will also prompt our shares to rise."

Wanli was overjoyed and said, "It's amazing! It's amazing! They still want to go against you in terms of trading, but they are really overestimating their ability. If you make money, you must make money from them, but don't show mercy."

Guo Dan held his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will definitely not show mercy this time."

He had a hand in the past, but he was a man after all, so he had to give him some face. Now he doesn't need to give him face, just do it to death.

"Okay, okay!"

Wanli was so happy that he could make money. He was always very happy. After a while, he looked calm and said seriously: "But the difficulties we have to face are far more than that. According to the news I learned, they have sent people to Weihui Mansion to lobby Jiang Yinglin, Zhao Shizhen and others, and went to Kaifeng Mansion to contact Su Xun. Not only that, they also sent tens of millions of people to inform Yang Yinglong. It can be seen that they have made no mistakes and want me to fail."

Guo Dan was slightly stunned. This Jinyiwei is really worthy of being the number one spy organization in the Ming Dynasty.

Wanli seemed to see what Guo Dan was thinking and smiled and said, "It's not that the Jinyiwei has excellent skills, but that they didn't hide it at all."

So arrogant? Guo Dan asked, "I wonder what Your Majesty plans to deal with it?"

Wanli was silent for a little, and said, "I can use the Jinyiwei to stop them once, twice, three times, and I can also kill one, two, and ten ministers. But I know that even if I stop them ten thousand times, they will still try their best to force me to the court. I have been prepared for this, and I don't plan to stop them."

"ah?"

Guo Dan was slightly stunned. He ran to inform him, but you still didn't stop him?

Wanli said with a serious expression: "If I use the Jinyiwei to stop them, then it will hit their minds. I must fight with them in the court, and then everything will return to the court. If I want to win, I will win them and convince them. I will make them fully understand that even without their support, I will succeed."

This is the key to this battle. Yang Yinglong was just a winning start for the two sides. The real enemy of Wanli is the entire bureaucratic group. They will definitely try their best to prevent Wanli from succeeding.

Killing a few people will not solve any problem. Wanli has not killed many times over the years. Zhang Juzheng took out his corpse and whipped it, but it did not shock them.

Wanli had seen through all this long ago. His purpose was to uphold imperial power, either to start a large-scale killing, because a large-scale killing could not solve the problem. His will was to take down Bozhou and bury the chieftain system in one fell swoop, so that the country and himself could benefit. In other words, he also made this dispatch of troops his own achievements, so the other party's will would not allow him to take down Bozhou. To prove that this dispatch of troops was a fool, and now it was to compare who would be able to achieve the final victory.

Of course, Wanli also has a bottom line, that is, the army cannot be chaotic. In addition, everyone shows their magical powers.

Bozhou.

"Brother, what do the court say?"

Yang Zhaolong asked Yang Yinglong, who was reading the letter with a nervous look on his face.

Just a few pages of paper, Yang Yinglong looked back and forth several times.

Is this a letter or a Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Do you have the following?

Yang Yinglong looked up at his younger brother, his face full of confusion, and said, "The letter says that Your Majesty sent troops this time to help Guizhou and eliminate bandits, but the real purpose is to deal with us, so let us prepare as soon as possible and don't fall into Your Majesty's plan."

"What?"

Yang Zhaolong and counselor Tan Dongji were both shocked.

Tan Dongji shook his head and said, "This...it's impossible. If the court has decided to deal with the general, then the ministers in the court should clearly define a relationship with you. How could they inform the general?"

He knew very well the power of Bozhou. If the court came to wipe them out seriously, there would be no great hope for them to win.

Yang Yinglong said: "This was not decided by the court. All the ministers in the court opposed it. His Majesty insisted on doing so. Therefore, the court told me that I could do everything possible to resist the officers and soldiers, and even directly sent the Bozhou army to the war, but I could not rebel. As long as we can do this, they would give us food, grass and weapons assistance."

Yang Zhaolong was confused when he heard this and said with a look of surprise: "This...what is going on?"

After living for so many years, I have never encountered such a situation.

This is really not like the court dealing with us, but like the emperor fighting a minister.

Yang Yinglong said: "I think there must be a problem between the ministers and the emperor."

Tan Dongji said: "General, I feel it is incredible to hear this. Will there be any conspiracy here?"

Yang Yinglong handed the letter directly to Tan Dongji, "You can take a look at it yourself."

Tan Dongji hurriedly took the letter, and Yang Zhaolong walked over with curiosity.

After a while, Tan Dongji said, "This...this is simply incredible."

Yang Yinglong said: "In this letter, the details of the Huguang Shenji Camp were told to us, which was similar to the news we had inquired about, but it had to be more meticulous. The entire army of this Shenji Camp was equipped with new firearms, with at least 10,000 bird guns and 300 cannons. The letter also told us its weaknesses. If we fight on rainy days, this Shenji Camp's combat power would be reduced by most. It really doesn't look like a conspiracy."

Tan Dongji really didn't know what to say. After a while, he smiled sarcastically: "It's better not to be unfaithful to the ruler and his subjects."
