Zhu Changluo looked at Guo Zhiyuan with a complicated expression. Although he had just stood up to support Guo Zhiyuan in the opening of the government office in Dongfan, he also made profits from it. Not only did he change the image of being weak and incompetent in Emperor Wanli, but he also tested which ministers in the court were looking for him, but he became more and more afraid of Guo Zhiyuan. This guy can always do something that he thought was completely impossible. Even the cunning Chen Yiguan was ruined by this guy. It would be terrible to make this guy grow up!

However, Zhu Changluo did not want to give up recruiting Guo Zhiyuan. He now has too few talents available. If he wants to ensure that he can inherit the throne smoothly, he needs talents like Guo Zhiyuan. These two completely different emotions made him very entangled, so he hesitated for a moment, did not go over and talk to Guo Zhiyuan, gave Guo Zhiyuan a thumbs up, and turned around and left.

Chu Honggang was extremely embarrassed at this time. After finally dealing with the polite congratulations of his colleagues, he glared at Guo Zhiyuan fiercely and left quickly as if he was running away. If there was another person at the scene who was truly happy for Guo Zhiyuan, then there was only Chen Li. With the friendship between Chen Li and Guo Zhengyu, and his appreciation for Guo Zhiyuan, Chen Li's feelings for Guo Zhiyuan were far more than the feelings of ordinary elders to the younger generation, and even had a bit of the meaning of successors.

At this time, Chen Li was looking at Guo Zhiyuan with relief, and laughing happily: "Nephew Guo, you married the daughter of the Chu Mansion Yin family, which is a match. The emperor personally gave the marriage, which is even rare glory. Getting married and starting a family and starting a career, you have done it today. If your father could see you in the court today, he would definitely be very pleased. Now that your father is not in the capital, I have a close relationship with him, and he is also your closest elder. Since your father has taken good care of your marriage..."

Guo Zhiyuan was actually in a hurry to go back and arrange the matter. It was only the first step to convince Emperor Wanli to agree that the establishment of a government office in Dongfan was only the first step. Judging from the situation just now, Emperor Wanli had limited trust in him, so he mixed sand into the Dongfan office that had not been built, not to mention Chen Yiguan, who hated him to the core, would definitely try every means to hinder himself from the development of Dongfan. Once Emperor Wanli saw the development potential of Dongfan within a year, his plan to develop Dongfan might be stopped in advance at any time!

Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan must fight every second and start to deploy Dongfan from now on to ensure that Dongfan can undergo earth-shaking changes within a year, so that Emperor Wanli feels that Dongfan can become a money tree and can continuously deliver silver to the court, so that Emperor Wanli can continue to support and truly gain a foothold in Dongfan!

However, Guo Zhiyuan could not neglect Chen Li, no matter how he was, he saluted respectfully: "My nephew is asking for something. My father is far away in Gansu, so he probably can't attend my nephew's wedding. My nephew has no other close relatives in the capital, so I want to ask Mr. Chen to be the master of the nephew's wedding..."

Chen Li naturally agreed happily, and then he reminded Guo Zhiyuan for a while before Guo Zhiyuan left. Guo Zhiyuan returned to his residence and immediately sent someone to call Shen Yuniang and Zhang Cheng. Seeing Guo Zhiyuan's serious face, Shen Yuniang and Zhang Cheng knew that Guo Zhiyuan must have something very important to explain, so they asked carefully: "Young master, do you need a villain (my) to serve you if you have something to do?..."

Guo Zhiyuan nodded with a serious expression and asked Shen Yuniang first: "Yu Niang, how much money can we use in our Beijing intelligence station now?..."

Shen Yuniang thought for a while and said, "Miaoyifang's cheongsams and high heels are very popular. They can earn nearly 10,000 taels a month. Shenxian cigarettes are in short supply, and there are more than 10,000 taels a month. Miss Leng is indifferent to silver and rarely draws silver from here. Now nearly 100,000 taels apart in the account have been saved. If the young master urgently uses money, he can borrow some from the money house in the capital. With the credibility of Miaoyifang, I guess it is not a big problem to borrow 40,000 taels apart!..."

Guo Zhiyuan's eyes lit up. Shen Yuniang's report was even better than he expected. In name, Miaoyifang was a combination of him and Leng Xianning, but in fact he was just a hand-off manager. Leng Xianning was in charge of the specific operations. Leng Xianning also fully demonstrated her business talent as the heir to the Leng family. In more than a year, Miaoyifang and Shenxian Cigarette branches have been opened across the country, and the scale has become larger and larger.

This also made Guo Zhiyuan feel guilty about Leng Xianning. Since he built Miaoyifang and Shenxian Cigarette Workshop, he has been a little thrifty with money. When he has no money, he has transferred from Miaoyifang. He has never been worried about lack of money. Instead, Leng Xianning has been worried about expanding the scale of Miaoyifang, but he has never transferred money from Miaoyifang. It is obvious that Leng Xianning has been silently supporting him, and now he is going to marry Chu Wan'er, which undoubtedly disappoints Leng Xianning's affection for him!

Guo Zhiyuan actually felt something about Leng Xianning's affection for himself, which made him even more confused about how to face Leng Xianning, but now he had to continue to draw silver from Miaoyifang. Building Dongfan is a big project, and the money needed is even more astronomical. The maritime trade business has not yet started. If it weren't for the large amount of property seized from the rebels this time, he would have been unable to get out of the way. Even so, compared with the almost astronomical silver needed to build Dongfan, the seized rebel property can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. Soon he would face the embarrassment of shortage of money again, so he had to continue drawing blood from Miaoyifang!

Guo Zhiyuan shook his head hard, trying to temporarily shake off the guilt he felt towards Leng Xianning. He really needed too much money now, so he could only find a way to compensate Leng Xianning in the future. He said to Shen Yuniang seriously: "Okay, you can immediately withdraw all the money you can withdraw. You can borrow as much as you can in the money shop. I have a lot of use!"

"Yes!" Shen Yuniang didn't ask Guo Zhiyuan what he wanted so much money. She respectfully bowed to Guo Zhiyuan, and then quickly left to raise money.

When Shen Yuniang left, Guo Zhiyuan took out another handful of silver notes from his arms and pushed them to Zhang Cheng, saying seriously: "Zhang Cheng, there are 50,000 taels of silver notes here. Yuniang should be able to raise about 150,000 taels, I will give them all to you!"

Zhang Cheng was shocked when he heard this. This was 200,000 taels of silver. If all of them were exchanged into cash, it would be a small mountain of silver! He had never seen so much silver in his life, but Guo Zhiyuan handed over all so much silver to him now. What a trust!
