Nine hundred and seventieth chapters are done

Regarding the Fengchi Group's warehouse being stolen, Guo Dan was actually prepared for it, so he was not very shocked because he knew that the other party would definitely be aggressive and would never show mercy. It was not that he didn't want to avoid it, but that it was impossible to avoid it.

If it can be avoided, then there will be no conflict between Fengchi Group and the canal transportation.

Fengchi Group, Yinuo Money House, and Yinuo Insurance have indeed harmed the interests of many people.

He would do the same if he hadn't.

Since it is impossible to avoid it, then you can only fight them head-on.

In this regard, he still trusts Aunt Xu very much, so he let Aunt Xu take full control, while he focused on Liaodong Town.

With the arrival of the first batch of new firearms, it not only made the generals in Liaodong very excited, but also made them convinced. Only by relying on their mouths can they fool for a moment, and their hard power can make people convinced.

Not only did there be new firearms, but Guo Dan also transported a large number of new agricultural tools. He even sent an agricultural team from Weihui Mansion to help the big landlords in Liaodong improve their production model, plant crops reasonably, and promote agricultural production.

The key is all free.

New farm tools are also sold and delivered half-sold.

For Weihui Mansion, the larger the output, the lower the cost. Now Weihui Mansion needs a market.

First enter the Liaodong market at a low price, and in the future everyone will go to Weihui Mansion to buy new agricultural tools.

In the eyes of those big landlords and gentry, you not only do not charge us taxes, but also give us so many benefits. This is really unspeakable.

Everyone was even more united by Guo Dan.

"It's really worthy of being Yi Nuoyaxing, it's really rich and powerful!"

Fang Fengshi shook his head incredibly and said, "But I don't understand, you are exempt from agricultural taxes and don't give away agricultural tools. Can you afford it?"

Guo Dan said, "I make money, so I don't have any burden."

"make money?"

"certainly."

Guo Dan said: "I am like a loser?"

Fang Fengshi shook his head and said, "I really don't understand."

"To be honest, it's really thanks to the court."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "It is precisely because of the corruption and improper management of the imperial court that the consumption in the middle is jaw-dropping. Let's put it this way, if you transport one stone of food less, the cost of saving will be at least ten stones of food. In comparison, this little benefit is nothing."

Fang Fengshi was speechless.

Because he knew it might be true.

However, the facts are not that simple. Guo Dan still collects commercial taxes to promote local trade and is enough to compensate for the agricultural tax he exempted. Of course, military and political corruption is the main reason. If he returned to the Taizu period and the Wei Suo peak period, Guo Dan would not have any ideas at all.

There is no profit here.

Guo Dan asked again: "Shangshu Fang, how are you doing there?"

"It's still relatively smooth at the moment." Fang Fengshi nodded and said: "But this is all based on the weak external forces. If there was a strong northern regime on the border at this time, they would definitely take advantage of the situation and would never be so easy."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "This is the best time that has made us catch up, so how can we fail?"

Fang Fengshi said: "But not at this time, it does not mean there will be no in the future."

Guo Dan asked, "Why did Secretary Fang say this?"

Fang Fengshi said: "I recently learned about the situation of the Jurchens in the north. The Jianzhou Jurchens are quite ambitious. They have been conquering cities and land everywhere in recent years. I think the Jianzhou Jurchens wanted to unify the entire Jurchens. Before, the Li family did not restrict the expansion of the Jianzhou Jurchens. This may be a hidden danger and deserves our attention."

"I know." Guo Tan smiled, "but they can't become the climate."

Fang Fengshi said, "How do you say this?"

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Even if the development speed is simply compared, the Jurchens cannot compare with us. When Jianzhou finally unifies the Jurchens, our Ming Dynasty may have been so powerful that they cannot reach, so there is still something to fight.

Of course, we will not give them the opportunity to unify. The Jianzhou Jurchens fought everywhere and were armed with military force. This will only give us an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. They create poverty, and we will bring them wealth and peace.

When they fought all over the world, we appeared as saviors and asked them to beg for the position of a prefecture in the Ming Dynasty. So we only need to make the Jurchens in Liaodong Town live happier than any Jurchens, so that they can attract more Jurchens to come to Liaodong to make a living. Naturally, everyone will become a family.

Although I don’t oppose war, fighting with the Jurchens is too expensive and profits are too low, and the more we drag it back, the more we will be more beneficial to us.”

This is true. Now the Ming Dynasty only needs time.

Luzon Island.

Since the local Han people accounted for the majority of the population, after defeating the Franji people, Tong Li and his team quickly established an official government in Luzon.

At the same time, the Fengchi Group acquired a large number of cargo ships through the Luzon war, and then incorporated the Portuguese fleet into it. The Fengchi Group almost monopolized the Ming Dynasty's shipping.

This directly led to the Luzon port becoming more prosperous.

Today, Tong Li came to the dock to inspect again, and saw dock workers transport bags of grain onto the ship.

Luzon's grain production is indeed very considerable.

The land here is fertile and the planting cost is very low. In addition, the people in the Central Plains are good at farming. Since Tong Li and his friends settled here, the grain output here has begun to surge.

Chen Xusheng came over, "Head! Just now, the Fengchi Group wrote that the 300,000 stones of grain we purchased in Champa, Siam have already set out one after another."

Tong Li nodded and said, "In addition to the 200,000 stones here, we can transport 600,000 stones of grain within half a year."

Chen Xusheng said: "And it's effortless. I heard that Fengchi Group encountered a tsunami in Siam and lost about four small boats and more than 6,000 stones of grain. However, they calculated that compared with the cost of canal transportation, it was not worth mentioning at all. I don't understand why the court did not promote sea transportation, which is obviously more cost-effective."

Tong Li asked back: "Then do you understand why you have never been promoted to the Jinyiwei?"

Chen Xusheng shook his head.

"It's because you don't understand why the court doesn't promote sea transportation."

“……!”

Under Guo Dan's order, Guo Dan began to import grain on a large scale, all because there was nothing to import in the surrounding areas except grain. In order to promote maritime trade, Guo Dan imported grain on a large scale.

The Ming Dynasty was indeed short of food, and the food prices here were indeed very cheap. If you don’t buy it, you won’t buy it.

"Sir Tong! Sir Tong!"

Suddenly I heard a crappy voice.

Tong Li looked back and saw a few Franchise men coming over. The leader was Martin, the former governor of Luzon.

This Franji man is quite practical. Seeing that the situation is hopeless, his identity can be changed immediately. Lord Tong didn't feel awkward at all. This is a bit different from the Han people. If he were a Han people, he would not stay here even if he was defeated.

Too embarrassing.

"Mr. Martin."

Tong Li bowed his hand.

Martin replied with a greeting and said, "Sir Tong, why did you stop black slaves from entering Luzon? Now that Luzon's food is sold so well, you should buy more slaves to cultivate the land so that you can earn more money. This is not a very complicated issue."

Tong Li smiled and said, "I know, but I would rather leave the land to the Han people."

"Why?" Martin didn't understand, "Are you planning to buy slaves from the Ming Dynasty? Why haven't I heard that you still sell slaves in the Ming Dynasty?"

Tong Li shook his head and said, "We will migrate some people from the Ming Dynasty to come here to cultivate the land."

Martin said: "Those people only need to pay taxes to cultivate the land, and this is not as profitable as slaves, and the food they grow is ours."

Tong Li said: "But I still have many hungry people in my Ming Dynasty."

Martin said with an exaggerated expression: "Are you doing good deeds?"

Tong Li smiled and said, "This was decided by our court."

“…!”

Martin shook his head and said, "I really can't understand this."

Tong Li said, "You will understand slowly."

The prosperity of Luzon led to the rise of slave transactions, but Tong Li suddenly ordered that 90% of slave transactions be banned, and only some female slaves could enter Luzon, which Martin didn't understand.

In the prosperous agricultural market, if black slaves join, it will be a great addition.

But Tong Li is not a businessman, he is an official, and an official of the Ming Dynasty. He has deep feelings for the fields. When he sees such fertile land, it must be cheaper for his own people. This businessman makes less money, but it can solve many domestic problems.

Of course, he was also worried that if there were too many black slaves, they would face public security issues. After all, communication became a problem, and he still trusted his own people.

......

Jingdezhen.

"Honest it's just a matter of being a boss. If you can't be the boss, let me be the one. Now they have already ridden us. What are you still tolerant? Let's call us to fight them immediately. Wouldn't it be great?"

Xu Jirong jumped around excitedly in the hall.

He originally took Liu Xumou, Zhu Lizhi, Guan Xiaojie and others to show off everywhere. Since Wanli decided to let the third prince attend Xiaoboye Academy, he was indeed incredible and many people wanted to send their children to Xiaoboye Academy.

But on the way, Liu Xunmou received an order to go to Jingdezhen to take charge of the overall situation. Xu Jirong followed him happily, and he was here to fight. After all, his life was too leisurely and he needed some excitement.

Last time he went back to Ningxia, he urinated and did nothing, and was very disappointed.

Liu Xunmou had a headache and said, "If you don't understand, shut up. This powerful dragon will not suppress the local snake. Do you think this is the capital?"

"Bah!"

Xu Jirong Ang said with his face: "What kind of strong dragons don't suppress local snakes? It's simply bullshit. I remember that when Dantan and I were captured alive in Ningxia, what would you say?"

What does that have to do with you? Liu Xunmou muttered to himself, and then threw two eyes at Zhu Lizhi for help.

Zhu Lizhi said: "This is the business of the Fengchi Group, what does it have to do with you?"

Xu Jirong said: "I am the major shareholder, why doesn't it matter? If you don't do it, just step aside. My uncle takes it himself. I don't believe that with my uncle's ability, I can't even solve the problem of a few troublemakers. Chunchun."

"What are the instructions of the young master?" Xu Chun hurried forward.

Xu Jirong said: "Call up people immediately, I will kill you back."

“…!”

Xu Chun trembled all over when he heard this.

Liu Xunmou said: "Don't mess around, please? This matter is quite complicated, so you can't act rashly."

Xu Jirong felt very wronged and said, "What's wrong with this? If someone comes to beat us, we will run away if we want it, and if we want it, we will fight back. But with my uncle's current identity, how can I escape? Of course I have to fight back."

Liu Xunmou and Zhu Lizhi were speechless.

Guan Xiaojie suddenly asked, "What if I haven't fought?"

With a whoosh, Xu Jirong sat next to Guan Xiaojie and pinched Guan Xiaojie's fat cheek with one hand, "Xiaojie, don't you believe me?"

"Believe in faith!"

This face is in the hands of others, Guan Xiaojie nodded quickly.

Just then, a man walked in and handed a letter, "The chief manager, the letter from the capital city."

Liu Xunmou hurriedly took it over and took it apart, looking embarrassed.

Xu Jirong came over and said, "What did Dantan say?"

Liu Xumou glanced at Xu Jirong and suddenly laughed dryly: "You two fools in the capital are really in harmony."

"What does it mean?" Xu Jirong asked.

Liu Xunmou said embarrassedly: "It's just...it's just doing it with them."
