Chapter 352 One million taels of silver
Guo Zhiyuan was actually deliberately observing the reactions of Yang Tiansheng and Xu Xinsu. People like Yang Tiansheng and Xu Xinsu who can become maritime heroes in the original history and space are not easy to deal with. They must be cautious in their use, otherwise they will easily be retaliated against. For example, Zheng Zhilong was originally a subordinate of Li Dan and recognized Li Dan as his adoptive father. As a result, Zheng Zhilong killed Li Dan and replaced him and became the new maritime overlord. Therefore, talents like Yang Tiansheng and Xu Xinsu need to be used, but how to use it must be given some consideration.
Seeing the reactions of the two, Guo Zhiyuan smiled slightly and changed his tone and said, "But I received the gifts from you, so naturally I can't let you suffer losses. This way, our sea trade route has been opened, but the north-south routes in the inland are still blank. We still have a lot of supplies and new immigrants to transport from the inland to Dongfan. Brother Yang, you will be responsible for this. I allow you to use the official name of my Dongfan Mansion. Of course, some specific joints need to be cleared by yourself. I will increase the price of the supplies you transported from the inland to 30%. At the same time, I will pay you ten taels of silver for each new immigrant. I will be satisfied with this...."
Yang Tiansheng was overjoyed when he heard this. Guo Zhiyuan did this to give him a separate route. At this time, China's transportation was backward and the north-south route was blocked. It was opened up to the north-south route and allowed the north-south materials to circulate. Naturally, it was a big piece of fat. However, it had to pass through several provinces to open up the north-south route. After layer-by-layer routes, only the fat meat was left with bones. Therefore, ordinary maritime merchants could not do it even if they wanted to. Now Guo Zhiyuan allowed Yang Tiansheng to use the official name of Dongfan Mansion to save trouble. As long as you take a little bit of the minor officials along the way, don't let them pick bones in their eggs, it will basically be unobstructed.
What's more, Guo Zhiyuan also promised that all the materials transported from the inland would be increased by 30% and they would basically guarantee that he would not lose money. The ship fee for each new immigrant is purely profitable. Guo Zhiyuan also had to immigrate from the inland to 200,000 (hundreds of immigrants) and this is a big business of 2 million taels, which is definitely much more cost-effective than Guo Zhiyuan's shares given to him by 100,000 yuan.
So Yang Tiansheng, who was still a little disappointed, hurriedly smiled and said, "Satisfied, satisfied, so satisfied! The adults are so righteous. They are a big deal when they take action. The villain will never forget it!"
Guo Zhiyuan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Brother Yang is polite. If you do your business for me, I naturally can't treat you badly. Then you are busy first. If you have any needs, you can directly find Mr. Xu..." Then he turned to Xu Xinsu and said, "If Brother Xu is free, you can go back to the government office to drink tea, let's chat slowly..."
Yang Tiansheng looked at Xu Xinsu with some jealousy. Guo Zhiyuan's completely different attitude towards him and Xu Xinsu shows that he has been excluded from the core circle by Guo Zhiyuan. From then on, he and Guo Zhiyuan only depend on their cooperative relationships, and they can't help but secretly regret that they were too anxious just now. However, he also knew that Guo Zhiyuan had given him enough benefits. If he didn't know how to advance and retreat, he would really be ignorant of life and death. He could only watch Guo Zhiyuan and Xu Xinsu leave with awkwardness.
Guo Zhiyuan and Xu Xinsu returned to the government office together. Guo Zhiyuan opened the package of seeds again, took out the peppers inside and looked at them happily, and sighed at Xu Xinsu: "Brother Xu gave me such a big gift, I really don't know how to repay you!"
Xu Xinsu hurriedly said in a panic: "Sir, don't let the evil spirits go. I'm going to find some seeds for you. It's not worth mentioning. How dare you expect your return..."
Guo Zhiyuan didn't answer Xu Xinsu's words, and thought about it and said to Fa Zheng beside him: "You go and get a million taels of silver notes from Mr. Xu, just say I want to use it..."
Fa Zheng was startled and asked stammered: "Grand...What's the point of asking for so many silver bills?"
Guo Zhiyuan glared at him and waved his hand and said, "If you want to go, go!"
Fa Zheng didn't dare to talk anymore and hurried to find Xu Guangqi. Xu Guangqi was shocked when he heard that Guo Zhiyuan had so many silver bills at once. Although he made a lot of money this time, Dongfan is not short of money for the time being, but Dongfan is now a big family and Xu Guangqi helped Guo Zhiyuan take charge of the financial power. Naturally, he must be a good family. Guo Zhiyuan cannot be generous. Therefore, although he still followed Guo Zhiyuan's order to get the silver bills, he rushed over and made up his mind that if Guo Zhiyuan didn't give him a reason to convince him, he would never take out the silver bills.
Guo Zhiyuan saw Xu Guangqi coming in person. He knew that he felt sorry for Yinzi and was about to dissuade him. He didn't say it out loud, and pointed to the pepper on the table and smiled at Xu Guangqi, "Sir, it's just right. Brother Xu has found a treasure for me..."
Xu Guangqi had never seen peppers before. He picked up the peppers and looked at them carefully, and asked hesitantly: "What is the use of this thing? Can it make adults so precious?..."
Guo Zhiyuan’s “Lao Gan Ma” plan was not explained clearly with Xu Guangqi, but he laughed and said, “Is it a baby? The teacher will know soon. Has the silver notes I asked Fa Zheng to find Mr. to get? Brother Xu has made great contributions for me, and I can’t treat him badly!…”
Xu Guangqi was also surprised to hear that Guo Zhiyuan meant to treat this million taels of silver as Xu Xinsu's reward. However, he had long been accustomed to Guo Zhiyuan's amazing actions. Guo Zhiyuan said the pepper so magical, which must be worth it, and he was not easy to dissuade him in front of Xu Xinsu, so despite his reluctance, he still took out the million in silver notes.
Xu Xinsu was shocked when she heard Guo Zhiyuan wanted to give him one million taels of silver as a reward. She stood up and waved her hands and said, "It's not possible to use it, but it's only cost 1,000 taels of silver to buy this pepper. How can I pay such heavy rewards to you? If you don't feel sorry for me, I will give this thousand taels of silver to me. I dare not accept this million taels of silver at any rate!"
"I said it's worth it!" Guo Zhiyuan insisted on selling one million taels of silver in front of Xu Xinsu, looking at him and said seriously: "Brother Xu, I will give you two choices now. One is to accept this million taels of silver in the other is to give you 30% of the equity of this pepper. In the future, you can get 30% of the money I earn through this pepper! You can choose it yourself!..."
Seeing that Guo Zhiyuan was speaking so seriously, Xu Xinsu thought about it. Looking at the thick stack of silver notes in front of him, it would be fake. It would be a million taels of silver notes! If it were exchanged for silver, it would be a mountain of silver! I am afraid that no one in the world can face so much silver not be moved!
