Guo Zhiyuan didn't want to put his life on the compassion of Emperor Wanli, so he galloped all the way out of the capital. On the way, he specially played a secret crossing of Chencang, asking several servants to continue driving the carriage. He and Chu Wan'er took their personal guards to transfer to Tianjin.

When he arrived in Tianjin, he was basically safe and he was in Fujian. Before, Guo Zhiyuan had already sent a letter through Feige, asking Bai Du and Sun Chuan to wait for him at the port of Xiamen. Guo Zhiyuan's immigration plan was a big project. It was not enough to rely solely on Zhang Cheng and his intelligence system. It also required the Sun family's carriages and sea boats to help with transportation. It also required Bai Du, a cadre familiar with Fujian situation, to be dispatched in the middle. Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan had to summon them personally, to show his reliance, and to give face-to-face advice on some specific issues.

Bai Du hasn't seen Guo Zhiyuan for a long time. When he met, he would kneel down to pay tribute to Guo Zhiyuan and said excitedly: "Sir, I didn't expect you... you really... you did it. If my grandfather knows you, you must... you must..." When he was excited, Bai Du was already crying.

Guo Zhiyuan hurriedly held Bai Du and laughed and said, "Brother Bai must not do this. I am ready to abolish the kneeling ceremony in Dongfan in the future. Brother Bai, you are my right-hand man, so you must set an example..."

Bai Du was originally worried that he had not been with Guo Zhiyuan for so long, so Guo Zhiyuan would be a little alienated from him. Now, seeing that Guo Zhiyuan still valued him so much, he became more excited and replied loudly: "Please rest assured, Bai Du must devote himself to his dedication to him until his death!"

Sun Chuan, who was standing aside, also interrupted with emotion: "Yes, what Lord Bai said is exactly what I want to say. To be honest, I told me that I could open the sea ban and open the sea trade. I was somewhat unbelievable. I didn't expect that I really did it. From then on, my Sun family let me drive it!..."

Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand and said seriously: "No, you are not dedicated to me, but for our common future!..."

Baidu and Sun Chuan calmed down their excitement and began to report to Guo Zhiyuan what they had done in recent times. During this period of time when Guo Zhiyuan was still on the road, his team's backbones were not idle. The immigration plan had been fully launched. Baidu mobilized the people to voluntarily immigrate to Dongfan in Gutian. Because Guo Zhiyuan laid a good foundation in Gutian, many ordinary people immediately signed up with each other. The first batch of nearly 10,000 Gutian people had arrived in Dongfan!

At the same time, the construction of Dongfan is also in full swing. Shen Junrong has already defeated Jilong Bay and Beigang. Now the senior officials, Jilong Bay and Beigang are building cities, and they can be fully deployed just by waiting for all immigration to be in place!

Guo Zhiyuan was also very happy after listening to Bai Du’s and the others’ reports. He patted Bai Du on the shoulder and said, "This time you can go to Dongfan with me. There are many things to do with you..." Bai Du and Sun Chuan looked at each other and showed excitement. Guo Zhiyuan was going to show his strength in Dongfan, and those who were the first to follow Guo Zhiyuan will also get better opportunities to show!

This time, Guo Zhiyuan did not go to the senior official. According to his plan, Dongbo will open the three free trade ports of Grand Master, Keelung and Beigang. Therefore, Guo Zhiyuan is preparing to focus the exhibition on the northern part of Dongbo and prepare to place the government office of Dongbo Prefecture in Beigang, so he went directly to Beigang this time.

Xu Guangqi, Zhao Shizhen, Shen Junrong and others have also arrived in Beigang. When they heard that Guo Zhiyuan was coming back, they were all very excited and brought a group of troops to the port to greet him early. Among the welcome crowd, Guo Zhiyuan also met an unexpected person - Li Dan!

After Guo Zhiyuan conquered Dongfan, he asked someone to send someone to Li Dan, but he didn't expect Li Dan to come in person! In fact, Guo Zhiyuan asked someone to send a message to Li Dan was also a test. Although Li Dan had already expressed his loyalty to Guo Zhiyuan when he left Luzon and kept his son Li Guozhu by his side to "master", Li Dan was a maritime hero after all. Guo Zhiyuan was really unsure of how reliable his loyalty to Guo Zhiyuan was.

Now that Li Dan has come in person, Guo Zhiyuan's concerns can be dispelled, and Li Dan also brought Guo Zhiyuan a big gift - 500,000 taels of silver! Guo Zhiyuan is short of money now, and the 500,000 taels of silver bills have solved his urgent needs, but it also surprised him. Li Dan was poor and useless when he left Luzon to go to Japan for exhibition. In less than a year, he had saved up such a deep net worth. It seems that this overseas trade business is really more money than robbing a bank!

However, so many subordinates, Guo Zhiyuan could not favor one or the other. He exchanged some good greetings with everyone, and then visited the construction site of Beigang City with everyone. At this time, Beigang was full of lively scenes. Guo Zhiyuan crossed his waist and looked at the lively scene, and was also very proud. He pointed to the foundation that had just begun to show his prototype and smiled at everyone: "It won't take long to set up a giant city here. Dongfan will no longer be a barren island at that time! It's exciting to think about it!"

Li Jin, the most flattering among the crowd, immediately greeted him: "Your Madam opened a government office in Dongfan, and he was unparalleled. This is a great achievement for all time. You will be famous in history!"

Guo Zhiyuan pointed Li Jin with his finger, shook his head and smiled, "Li Jin, you don't need to flatter me. This is not my credit, but the result of our efforts together. But you are right. What we are doing now is indeed a great cause that has never been before and has never come! I hope we can work hard together and create our great cause together!..."

Everyone was also infected by Guo Zhiyuan's passion and expressed their determination to do their best to build Dongfan. Guo Zhiyuan glanced at everyone who was in a stir and waved his hand and sighed: "Building Dongfan is a big project. Our team is getting bigger and bigger. We also have to come up with a new charter and re-divided the work and perform their respective duties so that we will not make mistakes in a hurry. Now there are many people in the court waiting for us to make mistakes!..."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. They followed Guo Zhiyuan and naturally hoped to have a good future. Guo Zhiyuan conquered Dongfan and became the prefect of Dongfan. Naturally, they also had to reward him according to their merits. They were also looking forward to this moment!

Guo Zhiyuan saw everyone's expressions. The people present were his backbone team. He believed that they were loyal to him, but he could not guarantee how long this loyalty could last. If he could not distribute the interests reasonably, it would be difficult to guarantee that anyone among these people would have grievances, which would bring unpredictable hidden dangers to his grand plan!
