The biggest contributor to Wang Xijue so quickly was actually Guo Dan, and Guo Dan naturally did not help him for free.

A businessman is not a good person.

This is a reward.

The reward is Yinuobi and Fengchi Group.

Nowadays, Yinuo coins entered Nanzhili. In the previous publicity, many people supported Yinuo coins very much, especially the people in Jiangnan. The people in Jiangnan really hated this fire and tax consumption. Zhang Juzheng had a good intention, but these officials used it as a tool for making money.

The key now is to "open sea transportation" and "abort the canal transportation".

When starting sea freight, the resistance is not very big.

Because there are many officials in the Jiangnan generation who support shipping, and this matter will be riots in the court every few years. However, because the shipping risks are high, no one dares to take this responsibility. If the canal ship sank at sea, the officials will naturally not be able to pay for compensation. What should I do?

On the contrary, the canal transportation involves many interests, so the officials who support the canal transportation are naturally more determined, so they have been making so many troubles but have not succeeded.

Now that Guo Dan is responsible for taking all these risks, everyone is of course supporting it.

If you sink, you will pay.

Guo Dan himself is willing.

The most important thing is to "abort the canal transportation", which affects the interests of many people.

Fortunately, the current situation is actually dying, and this struggle is also their back-to-earth battle.

In the past, people supported the canal transportation because it affected the interests of the people of prefectures and counties along the canal, not only because of bureaucrats, but now Fengchi Group obviously wants to be better for the people, and the people are more willing to support Fengchi Group.

The only bureaucrats left behind the canal transportation was to support it.

"Sir, the canal transportation is crucial to the country. How can it be entrusted to private people? Why not nationalize the canal transportation?" Wan Jian said immediately.

As soon as this statement was made, it immediately received support from many officials such as Wang Yie.

They were still unwilling to give up the canal transport. They believed that since salt can be nationalized, the canal transport can be of course too.

Wang Xijue sighed deeply and said, "We have considered this matter for a lot, but transportation is different from salt. The court has always controlled salt, but the court has never explicitly stated that merchants are not allowed to transport it."

Wan Jian asked, "What does this matter?"

Wang Xijue said: "This is a big relationship. If so, the court cannot directly eliminate Fengchi Group. So do you think that if the canal transportation is nationalized, can you compete with Fengchi Group?"

Wang Yie said: "The court entrusts Guo Dan to transport money, and he also needs to pay. If this money is given to the canal transportation, how can it not compete?"

Wang Xijue said, "You think too simple and you think Guo Dan too stupidly. It is actually the same thing when starting a sea transportation and abolishing canal transportation. If it is just abolishing canal transportation, but not a sea transportation, I can guarantee that Guo Dan will never dare to get involved in the canal transportation. Because it is impossible to make money with the freight fees given to them by the court, and it will inevitably lose money. One of the important reasons why Guo Dan dares to contract canal transportation is also to start a sea transportation."

Wan Jian immediately said: "This is very simple. Our state-owned enterprises also use sea transportation."

Wang Xijue said: "This river boat is incomparable to sea boats. It takes a lot of money and time to build a sea boat. Even if it is completed, it requires a lot of talents in this area. Now Fengchi Group almost monopolizes sea transportation and concentrates all sea transportation talents, including the big cannibals, Franchi people, and Japanese people. And as far as I know, without the guarantee of Fengchi Group, this ship dares not go out to sea because it is afraid of encountering pirates. Only Fengchi Group's ships are unobstructed at sea."

Xu Weizhi said in surprise: "Does Guo Dan already have such power on the sea?"

Wang Xijue nodded and said, "Did you forget the port of Lu Wang Mansion? In fact, the Jinyiwei was able to capture Luzon Island, and all of them depended on the Fengchi Group. Since the last time the ban on the sea, a large number of sea ships in the court have been changed to river ships. Now the court has no ability to cross the sea to fight."

When it comes to Luwang Mansion, everyone understands that in this regard, Wanli supports Guo Dan. Although Wanli’s support does not mean that they also need support, if administrative forces are not used to directly suppress the Fengchi Group, it will be a fundamental competition, even if the court gives great support.

Fengchi Group controls shipping. If it does not take shipping, the cost will be too high. Now there is a better choice. Why doesn’t Wanli choose a more cost-saving method? In fact, this is all his. But if it takes shipping, the court does not have the ability to do this.

But who can blame this? It’s not just that they are too greedy, almost bankrupt in finance, and often have internal strife. Now they are powerless in facing Guo Dan!

Wang Xijue said again: "But the court will never allow the Fengchi Group to cover the sky with one hand. Once the shipping is started, the court will also support the rights and interests of our Ming merchants overseas. We cannot let merchants go to sea. We have to look at Guo Dan's face and strive for more maritime fleets among the people. In this way, the Fengchi Group's overseas power can be gradually weakened. At the same time, the court will also strengthen its control over coal and iron to check and balance the Grand Canyon."

—

"Where is the Yinuo Money House?" Wan Jian asked again immediately.

The three magic weapons of Yinuo Group are Fengchi Group, Grand Canyon and Yinuo Money House, which involve all aspects.

How to check and balance Yinuo Money House?

Wang Xijue sighed, "There is really no way to do this. Not to mention Yinuo Money House, even many merchants minted coins privately, the imperial court could not control it. As for setting up a state-owned money house, do you think it can be successful?"

"!"

The officials were silent.

In terms of currency, the court really has no capital at all.

State-owned money house? Not to mention the people, they themselves dare not deposit money. You should know that since Wanli decided to strengthen the power of the cabinet, many corrupt officials immediately deposited their money in Yinuo Money House.

There is no way. Now this emperor has the habit of raiding his home. Once the court clears the administration of the government, who knows what will happen tomorrow.

In fact, even if they had a solution, Guo Dan would not let them succeed. In this regard, he had never discussed with the cabinet. Finance is his old business, and he would never allow the court to get involved.

Without the halo of finance, he was not at all different from other businessmen. He was able to scare salt merchants and the aristocratic families in the north, relying on the power of capital.

After some discussion, Nanzhili was finally forced to decide to abolish the canal transport and start shipping.

But this is not a matter of one sentence. The canal transportation does affect the interests of too many people, and it cannot completely ignore the interests of these people.

Wang Xijue also made many compromises on this.

Politics is compromise.

If the canal transportation is handed over to Guo Dan and then transported by sea, even if Guo Dan has a profit, the cost will still be lower than the previous cost. The local government had to bear the canal transportation before, so Wang Xijue decided to count this part of the expenditure to local finances and do not need to be handed over to the court.

In addition, many of the previous warehouses were rented to Fengchi Group, and this part of the money was also counted as local finances.

This money is just like leaving it to local governments. If you want to be greedy, you will still have to be greedy.

At the same time, the salaries of officials are increased.

Regarding the expenditures of the Third Court, all of them are borne by commercial tax, but this commercial tax is not deducted from the original basic commercial tax, but rather increases part of the commercial tax to merchants. In fact, it is a change of tax increase, but the amount of the increase is calculated by the Xinchuan.

It cannot be decided by the government.

Naturally, the merchants had no objection. It was not a problem for so many merchants to provide a three-house system, it was enough to be reasonable. After all, the three-houses basically serve them, and ordinary people rarely fight a lawsuit.

So to a certain extent, this offsets the fire tax. The reason for the fire tax is that both officials and governments cannot afford the most basic yamen runners. What was very strange about the Ming Dynasty was that the salary given to officials was relatively low, and many public officials had to pay for it themselves. How could officials not be greedy?

If there were three courts, the picketing house would basically replace the yamen runners and no longer require local government expenses. At the same time, the salaries of officials have increased, reducing their expenditures and increasing their income. Of course, officials are very happy.

The court and the people also benefited greatly.

The people no longer have to worry about being forced to undertake the sewage service. If the court implements the new policy and exempts privileges, the income will inevitably increase greatly, and they will not care about the little money transported.

This is actually traditional financial and political management, which increases revenue and reduces expenditure.

Of course, the big landlords were very unhappy, but they were difficult to stop the new policy now, so they gradually leaned towards Guo Dan because the court no longer protected their interests. At the same time, Guo Dan provided them with a way out, which was to commercialize farm products and make more profits, which could offset the increased tax revenue.

They also began to discuss exchanging land and integrating it into large farms, and then planned to convert tenant farmers into hired farmers, which obviously were no longer in line with the commodity economy.

Yinuo Grain Store is also helping them. On the one hand, it is preparing to recruit unemployed tenants to build coastal docks to avoid unemployment waves from farmers. At the same time, it also provides landlords with professional technical teams to pass on the experience of Kaifeng Prefecture to them.

This is very interesting. The salt merchant turned to the government, while the landlord turned to Guo Dan.

It can be seen that the economy of the entire Southern Zhili is being reshuffled.

On the banks of the Qinhuai River, in front of a small house.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

"Who?"

Mapo opened the door and saw a young man with beautiful eyes standing outside the door, and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you looking for?"

The young man smiled and said, "Mapo, you have earned me a total of 1,000 taels, but you still don't know me. It's so outrageous."

Mapo blinked and suddenly danced with surprise: "You are Guo Dan, no, no, Kou's son-in-law, no, no, the first son-in-law, isn't right, Daming's financial consultant, Guo consultant."

It’s not her fault for being so excited. This is the God of Wealth that she would never make in her life.

"You're actually right."

Guo Tan nodded with a smile and said, "Except for you blocking me outside the door."

"Ouch! Sorry, sorry!" Mapo quickly went to the side and smiled flatteringly: "Please come in, Consultant Guo."

Guo Dan took a bag from the guard next to him, and then entered the yard alone, asking, "Is Feixu here?"

"It's here! It's here!"

Mapo shouted at the top of his throat: "Silly woman!"

As soon as she said that, she couldn't help but look as if she was dead. She slowly turned her head and looked at Guo Dan tremblingly.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "I like this title very much, and I agree very much."

Mapo breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crisp voice, "What's your bad old woman calling me again?"

I saw a graceful woman in green frown and walked out. When she saw Guo Dan, her expression stuttered.

Guo Dan waved his hand and smiled, "Beauty! Long time no see."

This woman is Yang Feixu.

Yang Feixu frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to collect debts." Guo Dan took out a sheet from a cloth bag, and spread it out with both hands, but saw a big hole in the middle of the sheet.

Seeing this bed sheet, Yang Feixu's face turned red as blood.
