Some people do illegal businesses, but no one does lose money! Wang Shouzhong and Fei Honglin are both standard businessmen, and they are all profiteers. They have long been salivating about overseas interests, but with their energy, they have not yet been able to eat their mouths, but with Gu Zhenhua's support, it is completely different.

Give up the power of the salt farm and switch to overseas operations, this may be a new path!

"Prince, the little man also has several silk workshops in his hand, selling 8,000 pieces of cloth overseas every year. If you don't tell the truth, I'm pitiful. Do you want to expand the workshop? If you nod, the little man will immediately go to Zhejiang to purchase the workshop and buy mulberry fields!"

"Using my banner, I will oppress the people and take advantage of the situation?"

Fei Honglin hurriedly shook his big fat head and waved his hand and said, "Prince, you have wronged the villain. How dare you have this courage!"

Gu Zhenhua laughed and said, "Don't care whether you have this intention or not, it's not worth doing such a hard work. I naturally have to make money the easiest thing. From raising silkworms and silk reels to weaving and printing, that's the most troublesome thing. You don't think it's tired, I'm still slow!"

"Oh?" Wang Shouzhong's eyes suddenly lit up. The obedient meaning was that this prince is not an outsider!

"Prince, what are your tricks? Please give me some advice!"

"Hahaha, it's very simple. Didn't the Ming Dynasty establish a Maritime Bureau before? I want to hold the Maritime Bureau in my hands. It also stipulates that any foreign transactions must go through the Maritime Bureau and trade elsewhere, which is illegal. After controlling the personnel, I plan to establish three institutions, the first is the Trade Review Committee. The second is the Ming Bank, and the third is the Ming Maritime Escort Company!"

Wang Shouzhong and Fei Honglin looked at each other a few times, obviously they had not figured out these three brand new terms.

Gu Zhenhua smiled and said, "The first trade review committee is to select well-known Chinese and foreign merchants to supervise trade, evaluate goods, and provide consulting services. Whether it is internal products exported or overseas purchases, they must go through this committee."

"wonderful!"

Before he finished speaking, Fatty Fei gave his thumbs up and said with a smile: "Prince, your move is really amazing. This committee is nominally helpful. However, it has secretly monopolized domestic and foreign trade. It is rich in oil and water. It is even more scary than our salt farm!"

"Wrong. We are not helping in name, but sincerely helping. We not only protect domestic businessmen, but also protect the barbarians, so that they cannot be deceived!"

"ah?

Wang Shouzhong asked in surprise: "What are the benefits of this for us?"

"Two, no matter what you do, as long as you master the rules, you can make the most money. The same is true for you salt merchants! This review committee must be objective, fair and considerate. As for really wanting to make money, you need to look at the two institutions!"

"Prince, tell me quickly, the villain can't help it!"

"The so-called Ming Bank is actually the upgrade of money shops. Overseas trade. What the barbarians brought was silver and their silver dollars. How to exchange them with Ming Dynasty banknotes? How to set prices and ensure fairness? The transactions between merchants will definitely not be completed. When the barbarians come, they must first store the silver dollars to the Ming Bank and exchange them for Ming currency to purchase. Domestic merchants must also go through the Ming Bank to withdraw cash when selling goods."

Fei Honglin was still thinking about what was going on, but this time Wang Shouzhong laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty, you are so big-minded and have a big picture. You can even pinch your lifeline in an instant!"

Fatty Fei asked hurriedly: "Brother Wang, what is the knowledge here?"

"Hahaha, Brother Fei, think about whether both parties are trading at the Ming Bank, can the bank accumulate a lot of money? Then, how much money can you make by releasing these money? If it is done, we will hold these money, and none of the bill bank in the world can be anything else to us!"

"Is this really that?" Fatty Fei also screamed in surprise.

Gu Zhenhua smiled and said, "Not only that, if you have accumulated more money, you can also issue bank coupons, that is, silver notes. With the support of the money, you don't have to worry that these silver notes will become treasure notes!"

"Yes, yes! It's so troublesome to hold so much silver, but it's still comfortable to hold a thin silver note!" Fei Fatty's fingers twisted, and the wealthy-lover couldn't help it. He took out an exquisite gold abacus from his pocket. This abacus has been with Fei Fat for many years, made of red gold, and the abacus beads are made of the best mutton fat jade.

Fei Fatty's sausage-like fingers were crackling on it, and gradually his saliva flowed down.

Looking at his appearance as a pig, Wang Shouzhong and Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but despise him.

"Prince, let's talk about the escort company, right?"

"As the name suggests, it is to provide protection for the ships passing by. Although the profit is abundant for the maritime merchants, they are almost life-and-death battles every time, and they are purely using their heads to gain wealth. The escort company is to draw people from the navy, form an escort formation, and protect them from traversing dangerous waters."

Wang Shouzhong nodded: "The prince is very considerate. If it were me, he would be willing to spend money to ensure safety! This escort company is another piece of fat!"

"Not only that, after it starts running, an insurance company can be established, that is, each ship pays a certain premium, which will accumulate to a large amount. Once a ship encounters a shipwreck and loses goods, it can withdraw several times the premium from the insurance company to compensate for the losses. This is risk sharing!"

"Mirely, it's so wonderful!" Wang Shouzhong laughed and said, "In the past, I always heard that some maritime merchants encountered storms on the road. When goods were lost, people could not survive. With your idea, they would not have to die! This money must be willing to spend!"

Fei Honglin also understood at this time. After thinking about Gu Zhenhua's idea, it was perfect, and it was extremely perfect, taking care of all interests in all aspects.

Those businessmen may know that they have taken away the biggest profit, but so what!

They will also send the money with both hands and trade overseas. This is a high-risk industry. If there is no big man to support it, it is definitely a big risk. Spending some money and getting along with a big tree like Gu Zhenhua is definitely worth it. This is Gu's mutual benefit and win-win situation!

"You two have any other ideas? Can you tell me about it and refer to it together!"

"No, no, the prince is already thinking too carefully. The villain can't help but scatter his hands right away!" Fei Honglin said with a smile.

Wang Shouzhong frowned, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped.

"If you have anything to say, I don't want to hide it."

"The villain said it bravely!" Wang Shouzhong gritted his teeth and said, "The villain heard that the Zheng family in Fujian controlled the sea and had a strong power. They would have to take a commission for any trade. If the prince intervened, would it lead to conflict?"

Fei Honglin laughed and said, "Old Wang, you are so conservative. What is the Zheng family? It's just a pirate. It can be put in the eyes of our prince. Just send some people and wipe them out!"

Gu Zhenhua waved his hand: "The Zheng family should not be underestimated, especially since they have been operating at sea for many years. In terms of strength, An**'s navy may not be their opponent!"

"Then, what should I do?" Both of them were surprised. Not to mention it well, the huge business opportunity was actually ruined by the thief!

"It's nothing difficult." Gu Zhenhua smiled and said, "Although the Zheng family cannot be underestimated, Zheng Zhilong is short-sighted. He has no courage to compete with me, so he just wants him to make some profits. If he doesn't agree, I will let them go to the sea and become water thieves!"

When he said this, he was domineering and full of majesty. Fei Honglin and Wang Shouzhong were both fascinated and could not help but nod.

"Prince, with your support, the fat meat on the sea will be eaten into your stomach!"

Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "I told you about my plan. The problem of the salt administration must be changed. Of course, it is not to kill all the salt administration. I just hold on to the capital and want to continue to get something for nothing. That's not OK! Mr. Chen Qian is about to arrive in Xuzhou. He will preside over the specific changes in the salt administration. What should you do, you know in your heart. But you should keep it confidential now and don't let people who shouldn't know know."

"Don't worry, the little people must keep their mouths tight and help Lord Chen with all their might!"

After the discussion was made, the two were sent off, and they followed An**'s spies. If they dared to talk nonsense, they would immediately turn into corpses.

Once the salt merchant is settled, he will have money. If he takes over the interests of overseas, An** will be like stepping on the cotton ball and reaching the sky in one step!

Thinking of this, Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but hum a small song, grabbed a stack of drafts, and began to write a new plan for military expansion.

By the year, 50,000 main combat troops will be built, and next year will be 100,000, and the garrison forces will also reach 300,000. With these men, there will be hope for the Northern Expedition of the Tartars.

Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but solemnly write a line of words on the draft: one year of preparation, two years of counterattack, three years of sweeping, five years of success!

Just as Gu Zhenhua was writing something, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Mr. Grandpa, something is wrong!" Wu Kaijie ran in panic. While he was anxious, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"What's the most amazing thing? The sky is falling?"

"Prince, look at it. It's almost the same as the sky falling. I can't stand it anymore. I can only find you, a big guy!"

Gu Zhenhua took the secret security casually and then took a look, and he also widened his eyes.

"The Tartars are cruel enough. How many tombs have they dug?"

"According to Li Jinao's news, six imperial tombs were dug, but only two were dug out of the coffins, one was Changling and the other was Siling!"

Gu Zhenhua gritted his teeth: "The tombs of Chengzu and the late emperor were dug up, the Tartars are taking revenge!"

"Prince, the Tartars are also smart this time. They claim to be the acts of the indignant Qing children, and the Tartar court has no connection with them!"

"Fuck!" Gu Zhenhua said without hesitation: "It's just a hype and sell, plagiarizing my copyright!"

Wu Kaijie smiled bitterly: "Prince, don't say anything, my dynasty governs the country with filial piety, I'm afraid there will be big trouble!" (To be continued...)
