Before, every time Guo Peng introduced a new policy, Cao Cao and Guo Jia were the leader.

The two of them always keep up with Guo Peng's pace and embark on the path of political correctness, thus becoming the weather vane of political correctness in the eyes of courtiers and are very famous.

But this time, Cao Cao and Guo Jia were a little cautious and did not dare to make a decision rashly.

The cost of going out to sea is really high.

Although they are all high-ranking officials and have generous salaries, their own property is not top-notch. They can only be said to be middle-aged and upper-class, not top-tier wealthy.

Of course, the Cao family and the Guo family are rich, but this money is not something that Cao Cao and Guo Jia can do as soon as they are told.

Not to mention that Cao Hong, the rich man in the Cao family, was fined almost all of his property, and Cao's financial resources declined a lot.

If this is a damaging person, if he loses his money, his life will be difficult.

If something like that really happens, Cao Cao really has to live on his salary for a long time.

Guo Jia is even more bachelor than Cao Cao.

He never bought property or land, and lived a life of salary and Guo Peng's reward. He lived a very luxurious life, which was quite proud of the modern moonlight clan, so he was very trusted.

But he himself has no money. Apart from the days when he paid his salary, he is basically a poor man. His family's daily life depends on the help of the clan.

As soon as he received his salary, he would spend money everywhere. Except for those physical goods, he would take out everything that could be spent to buy.

Sometimes when Guo Peng saw that he was spending money, he didn't understand. He asked him why he spent money so much, but he didn't leave any for his family.

Guo Jia said shamelessly with a smile--Your Majesty will never let me starve to death anyway.

Then he said a lot of fresh words that Guo Peng himself said several times, such as His Majesty's advocacy of spending money, spending money, allowing ordinary people to gain something, expand production, and thus driving the overall growth of wealth.

This guy remembers it clearly, and doesn't care whether he understands it or not, so he does what he does.

However, he probably doesn't understand.

He is really smart, so Guo Peng likes him very much.

Whenever I heard that Guo Jia was spending money in the capital again, I would prepare some money to Guo Jia’s wife to let her manage her life in the mansion and not let her family be hungry.

In order to do a good job, Guo Jia has also worked hard.

So this leads to Guo Jia having no spare money.

Cao Cao had spare money, but his savings were all in the hands of Mrs. Ding. He didn't have much money in his hands and didn't dare to play that big. If he really wanted to play that big, it wouldn't work without Mrs. Ding's approval.

However, Xi Zhong and Wang Can have accumulated a lot of wealth, and their family also have land and savings, so they can afford the money.

But it was Guo Jia, a poor man who hesitated for a moment and asked them how many money they borrowed, saying that they would go overseas to do business, and they would return it to them when they made a lot of money.

Cao Cao was shocked.

"Bongxiao, don't ask me about borrowing money. You know the situation at home. I actually don't have much money."

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao with contempt.

"Forget it, I shouldn't ask you, two of you, I'm tight on your business. Can you lend me hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars? When the ship returns and makes a lot of money, I will return the money to you."

Guo Jia changed his sight and looked at Wang Can and Xi Zhong with a smile.

Guo Jia has used the highest secret of business skills - to use other people's money to do his own business.

Commonly known as laying eggs through chickens.

If you make a profit, you will naturally make a fortune. If you lose money, you will never lose your money and run away.

The world is so big, anyway... Guo Jia really can't escape.

Moreover, Wang Can and Xi Zhong also knew that Guo Jia’s backer and money bag were actually Guo Peng himself, so lent money to Guo Jia would never lose money.

Even if he loses all his money, as long as Guo Jia goes to Guo Peng with a shameless face to ask for money to pay off the debt, Guo Peng will never fail to pay the money.

It is actually no risk to them if they lend money to Guo Jia.

The two looked at each other, nodded together, and decided to lend money to Guo Jia, so Guo Jia had the capital to organize a sea caravan to go overseas to make money.

Cao Cao was stunned and felt that Guo Jia's business of making money by making money and laying eggs with chickens was really wonderful, and he also wanted to copy them.

"Cao is also short of money, I don't know if you two..."

Cao Cao didn't finish his words, but the meaning was that. I wonder if these two people could have a little bit of meaning.

But Wang Can and Xi Zhong were stunned for a moment, and then they talked about him and talked about the weather issues, which made Cao Cao very embarrassed.

It’s not that Cao Cao has no money, but Cao Cao’s money is often not smoothly used and needs to be allowed by his wife at home. This is also something that Cao Cao is often ridiculed.

You can't get the money yourself, and you still want to make money by yourself?

Guo Jia only has one.

But no matter what, the fact that Cao Cao and Guo Jia decided to follow the emperor's footsteps to organize a sea caravan to go overseas to do business and make money quickly spread.

Basically, Cao Cao and Guo Jia were the political vanes of the court.

After many political storms, the ministers learned their lessons and gradually realized that as long as they follow Cao Cao and Guo Jia, there will be no trouble in general, and they may not die if they have trouble.

The same is true this time.

Except for a few maverick paupers who had no industry, most of the senior officials in the dynasty were rich, but they were not ordinary people who were rich, which was quite rich.

Although it is expensive to build a sea caravan or something, it is absolutely impossible to afford it.

Seeing Cao Cao and Guo Jia want to do it, they remembered the treaty signed by the emperor and the Romans and the huge trade quota. Under the temptation of real money and silver, many people followed suit and made the decision to go out to sea with the Royal Sea Caravan.

A large number of people expressed their willingness to go out to sea with the Royal Sea Caravan.

There are still some who are hesitant and dare not make a decision, and are still swaying.

The remaining group is purely not planning to follow the trend. They think going to sea is too illusory. Before anyone really makes money, they will never go to sea rashly.

Guo Peng did not interfere in this situation, nor did he force him to organize the Royal Maritime Merchant team to prepare goods according to the Romans' orders, and then ordered the Royal Maritime Merchant team to set off for Rome as soon as possible to make money.

These people were scared by the emperor and dared not easily believe the emperor's kindness.

But as long as someone comes back with a lot of money, even if not all of them come back safely, they will immediately be angry about why they didn't go out to sea with them earlier.

This is a huge profit-making industry. Although it is easy to lose all your money, if you really want to make money, it will be a lot of money.

If you are brave enough to be brave, lucky enough to starve to death, timid and bad luck, this is that simple.

Guo Jia said that he didn't know how to operate, so he handed over the money to his trusted family members. He hired professionals from Guo Peng from the royal caravan to serve him, build his own maritime caravan team, and purchase goods and prepare to set off.

So some things need to be done by professionals, and once a professional takes action, they will know if they are there.

The professionals did this and discussed with the Roman merchants specifically to hold meetings to discuss what they needed to buy.

After three or five days of the meeting, a long list was listed and placed in front of Guo Jia.

Guo Jia looked at it for a while, and decisively gave up and stopped watching it, and asked his wife to go and see it.

Such things are really more troublesome than marching and fighting. He would rather stay in the army and work with soldiers, study military maps, plan tactics and tactics than fiddling with money here.

As the saying goes, Wendao has a series of professions and specialties. Guo Jia believes that he is not a business material, and professional things should be done by professionals.

He just needs to be responsible for the professional talent.

Guo Jia's approach was imitated by many people who decided to go out with him but had no idea about maritime trade. They hired professional talents to plan for them, helm the maritime business team for them, and then prepared to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Faced with such a situation, Guo Jin was a little confused.

"Father, why is my father so obsessed with the outside world? Does my father think that the territory of Wei is not large enough and the population is not large enough?"

In Guo Jin's view, the territory expansion of the Wei Empire has reached its peak and the empire's extreme wall has been successful. What he needs to do now is to consolidate the country he has built up.

After he became emperor in the future, his policies would definitely be conservative policies, rather than pioneering and enterprising policies. What the Wei Empire needed was to digest the existing territory and build a solid foundation, rather than continue to explore.

Continue to explore, the empire cannot control it. Once the military weakens, the so-called territory will be lost instantly.

Guo Peng shook his head.

"A Jin, remember that if you want to make Wei State exist for a longer period of time, there is only one way, that is, go out, no matter what method you use, go out, the further you go, the bigger the world you explore, and the more you earn, the longer the Wei State can exist."

Guo Jin didn't understand why.

"Don't ask why, remember, if your descendants ask you this way, you will answer this way, go out, and go out, make money, make more and more money, as long as you have enough money, you will always be invincible."

Guo Peng patted Guo Jin on the shoulder and told Guo Jin this simple but very useful truth to him remember.

Even if you don't understand, remember.

Then pass it on to future generations.

Many people actually don’t understand many great principles. For example, the ancient Chinese people knew the truth but didn’t know the reason for the things they had to do, and they all depended on the accumulation of experience.

Sometimes, the accumulation of experience is naturally very effective, otherwise ancient Chinese science would not be able to develop, although this development is very limited.

By pulling China's scientific development from the third century AD to the first half of the 20th century, over such a long period of time, China's scientific achievements were not as great as those achieved in the second half of the 20th century.

It is not just China, but the times are going backwards. From the third century AD to before the Industrial Revolution, the scientific achievements created by all mankind are not as great as those created after the Industrial Revolution.

However, humans are also living and are accumulating scientifically extremely slowly. However, there has been no qualitative changes in the past thousand years.

Some things can be done without understanding them.

Because the Wei Empire opened up contact with the Roman Empire, internal adjustments were being made.
