Li Ran whispered: "I bought a few mountains in Jiangnan and hired a lot of people to plant tea trees. You don't have to send someone out to buy them in the future. You can find me in the future."

"The Li family in Zhaojun is indeed a big deal." Gu Qing sighed, "As soon as he took action, he took a few mountains. In fact, the Niu family had already arranged several mountains to plant tea trees to serve their own business needs. If the Li family in Zhaojun wants to stand out in business, they have to pursue the quality of tea."

"My tea farmers have also explored the quality of tea." Li Ran said to Gu Qing's tea brewing, "Tea before the rainy season is the best. When the plum rain season is in the south, the quality of tea will be much worse."

Gu Qing nodded slightly. Li Ran's statement was a bit like Longjing in front of the rain. It was very good to drink the tea she made.

Li Ran continued, "Being able to take over three mountains is actually the financial resources that you, Gu Qing, have always taken care of."

"Where are there." Gu Qing smiled complimentedly.

In fact, being able to take down three mountains is inseparable from the financial resources of Zhao Jun’s Li family. The Li family’s furnaces are sold very well in the entire Central Plains, and there are minerals to support self-producing and selling.

"The ore business is not easy to do." Li Ran said again, "Although our Zhaojun Li family now has a lot of oil and water to eat in the coal mine, it is not inexhaustible. It will be used up one day, but the coal stove can be built all the time."

Li Ran's intentions to visit at this moment can be understood. Gu Qing also knows that in addition to returning to visit his sister and brother-in-law Di Renjie, Li Ran also has Haimao. Although the Li family's coal mine business has always been very good, it has been exhausted. It is not a long-term solution. She wants to find a way to do business for a long time after losing the coal mine. There are also coal mines in the Central Plains, but they cannot be mined like this.

"Did you think about digging the coal mines in Japan?" Gu Qing said, tasting the tea, "To me, Japan is just a cake. I can say a lot about how much this cake is eaten by each family. I can't touch other resources. I can still give it to your Zhaojun Li family. In the future, I will still take care of you when it opens up new places. When the seas in the South China Sea are also opened up, many minerals in the Central Plains can be kept for not mining. I will use other people's first."

"I want to do a salt business, what do you think?" Li Ran said again, "I know that the salt in the Central Plains is very strict, so it should be OK to use Japanese ones."

"It's natural." Gu Qing nodded and said, "But now is not the time, it's better to go through a few years. Now Li Chengqian is planning to make drastic moves. Li Chengqian will notice it when he goes to the salt business at this moment."

"I didn't expect that the dignified Mr. Gu was still afraid of him, Li Chengqian?" Li Ran chuckled softly.

Gu Qing touched his nose awkwardly and said, "What did you say? It seems that I can suppress Li Chengqian's head."

“Isn’t it?”

"Actually, Li Chengqian still has many advantages." Gu Qing sighed helplessly, "Although I am in power, my words and deeds are watched by too many people. How many people want to see me rebellious? It is too important to touch the salt and iron. Now it is even more impossible to touch the opportunity."

"Okay, if you say you can't touch me, I won't touch you." Li Ran said again, "It's still the matter of coal mines. I can't wait to sit and eat the whole country. You said you go to Japan or other places to dig coal mines. Why do you say that you should keep your own in the Central Plains and not mine them? There are many coal mines in the Central Plains, and is it a bit unnecessary to go to Japan to mine?"

"No, no," Gu Qing denied, "I don't care about this extravagant move. The coal mines will be mined one day, and it is not inexhaustible. A hundred years later, hundreds of years later, in the long run, the coal mines in the Central Plains will be mined one day. We need to leave more resources for future people. My suggestion is still from Japan. We must keep our own. We must use them in the future. We will use the resources from other countries first."

Li Ran looked at Gu Qing for a long time and said.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qing asked when Li Ran looked at him with strange eyes.

"Gu Qing, what are you calculating? I find that you seem to be afraid of?"

Gu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Tell me this way, for example, we have mined all the coal mines in Japan, but the Japanese also want coal mines, right? Where do they want to find coal mines at this time?"

"We!" Li Ran said.

"That's right." Gu Qing nodded, "It's okay that I'm using my wits to do my best to mine all the coal mines in Japan, and then we can save them. When Japan needs coal mines, we can ask them to buy them at a high price. In the future, and in the future, several small countries in the South China Sea and other places can do this. We first seize the plunder and then sell them at a high price. After a while, the cost of our sea trade can be recovered and even doubled. This is just one of the benefits of sea trade. When we arrive, the benefits will become more and more!"

It’s not that Li Ran didn’t know how to do business, but was shocked when he heard Gu Qing’s idea. Such a forced and powerful business practice is no different from a robber. “If you do this, it will be too unkind and righteous, and many people will point fingers behind their backs, too villains and not gentlemen.”

"A gentleman?" Gu Qing sneered, "Dare you ask the head of the Li family in Zhaojun, do you have a grudge against Yin Qian?"

"No grudge." Li Ran said immediately, "But I don't want to be criticized."

"What kind of infamy? You still care about infamy in the face of interests?" Gu Qing said again, "What we are seeking is interests, not so-called gentlemen. Of course, we can care about our own morality. We also need to know the words of our ancestors' sages. These are our inheritance. You can set an example in the Central Plains, and now you can set an example. In the future, you will be commented on others. Anyway, I don't care about my reputation behind you."

"I want to think about it carefully." Li Ran said.

"Actually, this is all for the future. When Japan comes to its senses, it will ask us for coal mines. Now we go to Japan to mine coal mines and do business." Gu Qing drank tea, "We also have to give Japanese workers wages, right? This is all voluntary. Even if they don't have a coal mine in the future, they will be voluntary. They are all voluntary. Where does the transaction come from? We are not robbers."

Li Ran held back his smile.

"What? I'm wrong?" Gu Qing said again.

"Yes, we are all for business, we are all in love with each other."
