Qin Feng's judgment of Wang Yueyao was not wrong at all. When the Fuyuan was sunk and the news that Qi Navy had a certain strength at the sea was passed back to the Political Affairs Hall, Wang Yueyao, who received the news, smelled the bloody smell, and took her a group of people from the Commercial Bureau to directly kill him to Baoqing Port. Now there are rail cars connected from Yuejing City to Baoqing Port, which is very convenient.

When the Daqin ship Qin Feng was riding on had just left Baoqing with a huge transport fleet and escort ship, Wang Yueyao arrived here.

The commercial network of the Ming Dynasty has gradually taken shape. After more than ten years of rapid development, various industries have begun to enter a stage of stable development. The era of huge profits is over. For example, the perfume industry and facial mask industry controlled by the Commerce Administration, many years later, they have gradually been peeked out by some private experts, and various imitations have begun to appear among the markets.

This made Wang Yueyao heartbroken, but there was no way. People of the country did not know the generality. As long as they were willing to work hard, they could eventually be studied. When the market was full of such products, these workshops under the Commerce Department had to start selling at a lower price. The only thing they could rely on now is the mature network and good reputation formed by selling these things over the years, and still firmly control the market of high-end goods.

However, in Wang Yueyao's opinion, it will take not long before strong businessmen will join in, which will have a huge impact on these two industries under his jurisdiction.

The glazed industry was also suffering from the same fate. The secret that Wang Yueyao tried hard to protect was hit and shattered under the reality of the development of the Ming Dynasty's marine trade. After a maritime merchant found a craftsman who was proficient in glass firing from overseas and brought it back to China, glazed workshops also bloomed everywhere. In just one year, the once high-priced goods were sold at a bargain price. Now in Yuejing, a slightly more wealthy family no longer used window paper to paste windows, but replaced them with bright glazed glass.

When these profit-making businesses are no longer in glory, Wang Yueyao has to rack her brains to find new profit points for the Commerce Department.

Insurance is another new business opportunity she has seized.

The inspiration comes from the compensation made by the Ming Dynasty Industry Federation after Chu Ming got into evil, and of course these compensations cannot allow these merchants to completely recover what they lost, but they give them the capital to make a comeback. After this incident, Wang Yueyao recruited a group of people and began to plan an insurance guild.

As the boss of the Ming Dynasty's business, Wang Yueyao naturally got investment. Geng Jingming, the Minister of Revenue, jumped out immediately, and used his power to suppress others, and robbed 50% of his shares from the insurance guild. The current Geng's Ministry of Revenue is not like the former Su's Ministry of Revenue. Su's Ministry of Revenue wanted to see the scattered money lying in the treasury before he felt at ease. Geng's Ministry of Revenue saw a pile of money piled up in the treasury and couldn't use it, so he became anxious. When Wang Yueyao's letter of establishment of the insurance guild arrived at the Zhengshi Hall, he noticed the huge business opportunities contained therein, and immediately colluded with the bosses of the Zhengshi Hall and took away 50% of the members without saying anything.

This made Wang Yueyao gritted her teeth. You know, when Geng Jingming was playing real estate around the capital, she didn't even let her take a sip of the soup.

However, the senior official level was crushed to death, not to mention that Geng Jingming joined forces with many bigwigs from the Political Affairs Hall to show his fangs!

At the beginning of any business, there are always many difficulties, because there is no precedent to follow. Everyone always has a wait-and-see attitude towards such new things, and always wants others to eat this crab first. If it is delicious, it will not be too late to keep up with it.

Not everyone has this kind of adventurous spirit, so the first person to eat crabs can always make a fortune, while the latecomers who keep up can only drink some soup and water. Of course, everyone is satisfied. If you don’t want to take big risks, you won’t get big gains.

The Insurance Guild covers almost all the businesses in the Ming Dynasty. Wang Yueyao and a group of people from the Commerce Department worked hard for more than half a year. Finally, after he came up with a plan he thought was very detailed, he began to promote it.

Of course, Wang Yueyao also knew that this plan that seems very detailed now will definitely encounter countless strange problems during the implementation process. These problems can only be improved step by step in the implementation process.

The development of things was exactly as expected, and the insurance industry was moving forward very slowly. After half a year of implementation, the losses were terrible. The big men of the Zhengshi Hall had begun to shake. After all, the imperial court occupied half of the shares here, and the money they lost was spent every day. But Geng Jingming and Wang Yueyao firmly believed that this would definitely be a business that made a lot of money. Out of trust in these two people, the big men of the Zhengshi Hall were still enduring it with great effort.

This year, the turning point finally came. What Wang Yueyao never expected was that the first person to appear dawn was above agriculture. Fengxian was her hometown. Wang was a respected family in Fengxian. After his death, Wang Hou, the first minister of the Ministry of Personnel of the Ming Dynasty, was buried in his hometown. The county magistrate of Fengxian was even a cousin of Wang Yueyao. In order to support Wang Yueyao's actions, this cousin used some small means to make all farmers in Fengxian buy insurance for their own farmland, one acre of land and one cent. If farmers who bought insurance encounter natural disasters during this year, such as drought, flood, locust plague, etc., the insurance guild will pay compensation according to the harvest after autumn. Millions of acres of land in Fengxian have basically bought insurance, which is the first large income of the insurance guild.

A month ago, Fengxian was hit by a sudden hail, and almost half of the farmland in the county was devastating. Just when the bosses of the Political Affairs Hall were dying, Wang Yueyao was so excited that she went to Fengxian to preside over the compensation matter. This compensation of course caused the Insurance Guild to suffer a great loss, but it made the Insurance Guild famous in one fell swoop.

For farmers, they received a large amount of compensation, and their investment was just a small amount of money, one acre of land per mu, which was not worth mentioning. Moreover, the land that was hit by disaster could be replanted. Although the harvest would be greatly affected, there would still be a lot of income after autumn. After all, they would earn more than in previous years, so they were naturally happy.

In sharp contrast, Dengxian County, like Fengxian County, also suffered hail disasters, but in the end, the people could only bear the losses themselves, and the local government could only provide disaster relief.

This example immediately set off a wave of insurance purchases in Shayang. God's face has always changed. Who can understand his thoughts? Since there is a thing that can make God want to do with just a little money, of course, you have to hurry up.

The storm immediately expanded from Fengxian to the entire Shayang, and then spread to Taiping, Zhengyang, and Yuejing, spreading on the land of the Ming Dynasty at a speed that was lightning speed.

The insurance guild can finally make money.

The insurance guild made a lot of money and laughed. The bosses of the Political Affairs Hall were happy and suddenly discovered another meaning in this business, that is, the insurance guild replaced the imperial disaster relief.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger. Either there is a flood or drought there. In short, there is no day of peace. The annual expenditure of the imperial court on this area is also quite amazing.

Wang Yueyao naturally ignored the business that the bosses of the Political Affairs Hall had already created by her. Thinking of the political affairs. After hearing the news that the Fuyuan was sunk, she immediately ran to Baoqing Port and found Ning Zeyuan who was about to go out to sea to trouble the Qi Navy.

"No!" Ning Zeyuan looked at Wang Yueyao in front of him angrily. If Wang Yueyao had not been qualified, her man Shu Chang had a special status. He would have asked the guards to send her out immediately after Wang Yueyao said her request.

"Why can't it?" Wang Yueyao also looked at him annoyed.

"Ma Zhendong is an iron-boned man. His warship was sunk and he was in great pain. After he came back, he was so thin that he had lost his body. You actually wanted him to go to your snatching party to tell him about his experience of being sunk by the enemy, and he also said the enemy was extremely powerful. This is sprinkling salt on the wound. This is an insult to our soldiers of war." Ning Zefeng slapped the table and said. "I can tell you now that the Qi people will jump for a few days. I will turn their warships into wooden boards, and then take them back to burn them as firewood."

Wang Yueyao looked at the angry Ning Zeyuan and raised a finger. "100,000 taels!"

"What does it mean?" Ning Zeyuan was stunned.

"Commander Ning, as far as I know, your navy's funding will be cut by one third this year. You must be short of money. The Fuyuan was sunk. Do you have the money to build a new warship? I will pay 100,000 taels and you can build a brand new Fuyuan."

"I want to buy the dignity of my soldiers by 100,000 taels, and dream!" Ning Zeyuan said righteously.

"Twenty-hundred thousand taels!" Wang Yueyao stretched out another finger.

Ning Zeyuan's lips trembled, "Actually, it's not impossible to discuss. The key is that a man like Ma Zhendong will never be willing to go. He is using a knife to pull him on his wound."

Wang Yueyao stretched out another finger: "300,000 taels, I believe Ma Zhendong will be willing to sell miserable for a new Fuyuan. Commander Ning, no more. If you still think there is too little, then we will part. Then I will come up with other ways at that time, don't regret it."
