Number of romantic figures

Chapter 2454 Guizi scrolls come out one after another, business genius

Guo Zhengyu knew that Feng Ziying dared to say that, so he must have confidence.

More than 300 million taels of silver is not much, and it is definitely not a lot to Jiangnan merchants, but it will take some effort to get them to cash out the silver immediately.

"No, Brother Meiming, I'm not sensitive to the Ministry of Accounting. I can't bear it. I still think that the Ministry of War is the most suitable for me. I think I'm still competent. I worry about the Ministry of Accounting all day long. You have to reduce your lifespan!" Feng Ziying waved her hands repeatedly.

"Then you mean that we should be tossed and our life should be shortened?" Guo Zhengyu said angrily: "If you say that the biggest hole in the household department was stabbed by your military department, it was either a war, or a nine-sided change of clothes, or For food and salaries, now the navy has started to open their mouths, and Shen Yourong would yell a few words in the newspaper from time to time. I think this must be your order, right? "Internal Reference" also comes up with two articles from time to time about the benefits of colonizing the South Seas, not shipbuilding Money? I don’t think I should do anything else with this one, basically it revolves around you guys.”

"Brother Meiming, you can just say whether what the newspaper and "Internal Reference" said is reasonable, and whether the money should be spent?" Feng Ziying spread her hands, "What does the Ministry of Households do? I am thinking about increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. It’s just a supplementary method, and we have to open source. Nanyang is fertile, rich in gold, silver, copper and tin, spices, precious woods, gemstones, and rice is cropped three times a year. Why don't you go get it back?"

Guo Zhengyu held back the anger of wanting to curse, and glared at Feng Ziying viciously: "Ziying, you are standing and talking without back pain. I remember that you wrote an article in "Internal Reference" before you came, talking about restoring the old place of the Han and Tang Dynasties, talking about Knowing the importance of the land of Yarkand to us, I wondered how much money it would cost to take down Yarkand. Now I want to talk about Nanyang, Jiaozhi, and Dongwu. You wrote an article last year, right? , Yunnan is not safe yet, next time you will definitely talk about Kuwu and Yezo, Ziying, I beg you, can you not be so poor, we really can't bear it, the hair on the head will be white tomorrow It's over."

"Brother Meiming, writing these things is my duty as the Minister of the Ministry of War, isn't it? As for how to do it, the decision is not up to me, right? The decision must be made by those in Wenyuan Pavilion." Feng Ziying said with a smile: "The Ministry of War The current focus is definitely not the ones you mentioned. Jianzhou Jurchen and Chahar are the talents. But people have short-term worries without foresight, especially for the court. Nanyang is not the focus of the Ministry of War, but it is one of the court's sources of wealth , I don’t believe that Brother Mei Ming can’t see that gold, silver, copper and tin are all urgently needed by the Ministry of Finance, instead of relying on foreign merchants to import them, how can we control our own use?”

Feng Ziying knew how to impress the people in the household department.

Needless to say, gold, silver is now imported from Nanyang in Luzon. Silk and porcelain are exchanged for silver in Nanyang, which has become the biggest cycle in maritime trade. , but the imperial court needs not only silver, but also copper and tin, as well as spices and big wood.

Being speechless by Feng Ziying's words, Guo Zhengyu could only grit his teeth and stop bringing up this topic.

It's useless to mention it, people just write a few articles and express their own opinions, whether it's the Ministry of War or the cabinet, believe it or not, listen to it or use it, it's all the big bosses' business.

You can't let others not even talk, not to mention the temptation of Nanyang and Cochin can indeed move people, the fertile land of three crops a year, and the sea transportation is convenient.

As shipyards in Dagu, Yuguan, Dengzhou, Ningbo, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places began to absorb shipbuilding technology from Xiyi on a large scale, the styles of masts and sails began to learn from Xiyi ship types, and Clark and Galen ship types began to enter Domestically, the design of the stern building is constantly being improved and changed, and the lowerable mast brought by Hong Maofan is also rapidly being used in major domestic shipyards, causing major shipyards to compete for development.

Large sailing ships from Xiyi began to be used in large numbers along the coast, which greatly improved the shipping capacity. It is not a new thing to transport grain from Nanyang and Jiaozhi to the coast of Dazhou.

It has become a reality that rice from Luzon and Jiaozhi is transported to Yuguan, Dagu, and Dengzhou by large sea ships with a load of more than [-] tons. The japonica rice shipped by one ship is as high as [-] shi. Ten tank boats were needed for transportation, which was unimaginable in the past.

It is precisely because of the rapid development of shipping and sea trade that the imperial court began to change its attitude towards Nanyang, Luzon, and Cochin. The topics of the Old Port Propaganda Department and the Cochin Chief Envoy were also repeatedly mentioned. This kind of early public opinion Preparations are often a weathervane for the court's future policy changes, Guo Zhengyu certainly understands.

He was just very upset that this guy always took the initiative to turn the wind direction in his hands, so that Hubu had to run behind them.

"Okay, brother Meiming, don't be so angry." Feng Ziying smiled authoritatively, "Everyone has the same goal, which is to make the Great Zhou Dynasty better, isn't it?"

"Okay, don't pretend to be there, talk about business, Taihe Yinzhuang's business is here, the rest is the business of Zhen's family, I know you also contacted some Jiangnan businessmen to take over , but on such a large scale, I guess it will be difficult for them to eat it all of a sudden, and it will be difficult to realize it, what good ideas do you have?"

This is the most important thing for Guo Zhengyu to find Feng Ziying this time. The value of the remaining business properties is tens of millions of taels, how to realize it?

It is impossible for the Ministry of Households to control these industries, and the Ministry of Households only needs money.

"I've thought about it, and I have two ideas." Feng Ziying murmured.

"Tell me, I know you've always had a lot of ideas." Guo Zhengyu calmed down and asked quickly.

"The first is to encourage businessmen from all over the world to acquire these properties. Of course, Haitong Yinzhuang and Taihe Yinzhuang can provide them with loans to support them. These people just don't have that much cash for the time being, but Haitong and Taihe just have it, just in time. Everyone gets what they want."

Guo Zhengyu was somewhat disappointed by Feng Ziying's first suggestion.

Although this suggestion is not bad, it may be difficult for these merchants to borrow money to purchase.

There are risks in doing business. They used to have their own business. It may be possible to acquire part of their own related industries, but if the amount of borrowing is too large, it may have to be weighed.

But now this batch of assets involves all walks of life, the amount is huge, and the assets worth tens of millions of taels make a living. Who dares to borrow money easily to buy them?
Seeing Guo Zhengyu's dark-colored Feng Ziying, he could understand the other party's mind, and he didn't pin his hopes on this.

In fact, he hopes to use this to promote a certain line he has always wanted to try.

"In addition, we can also try market-oriented trading of shares."

Feng Ziying's suggestion made Guo Zhengyu a little confused.

He had known for a long time that Feng Ziying had many wild ideas, such as the franchise sale in the earliest plan to open up the sea, and later the issuance of national bonds, as well as the Arabic numerals and double-entry bookkeeping that have now become popular throughout the whole week. , All caused a great shock among the businessmen.

Even he vaguely knew that the reason why the businessmen from Shanshan and Shanxi were so convinced by Feng Ziying that Feng Ziying followed his lead was largely due to the fact that the other party put forward unexpected insights on the improvement of iron smelting blast furnaces, and then succeeded in trying, which immediately improved the efficiency of iron smelting Countless times, and later "invented" cement, so that Shanxi businessmen can win two consecutive rounds with Jiangnan businessmen after repeated defeats, and feel proud.

It can be said that even if this person is not an official, he can still play well in the mall.

"Wait a minute, Ziying, you said that this market-oriented transaction of shares is a bit convoluted, please tell me carefully, what do you mean?"

Guo Zhengyu is the right servant of the household department, and he is quite proficient in financial planning in the entire Zhou Dynasty, but he still has some difficulty accepting Feng Ziying's series of new terms.

He even learned Arabic numerals and double-entry bookkeeping before, and was amazed. He also tried his best to promote this kind of unconventional reform within the Ministry of Accounts, which caused criticism from many people, but he insisted on his own opinion, Huang Ruliang also agreed with it, so these new measures began to be promoted within the household department.

He didn't understand, and he wasn't afraid. There were many people who didn't understand these things in the Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as the kid in front of him could explain himself clearly and raise enough money for the household department, that would be fine.

Feng Ziying was also not polite, and directly stated her thoughts, "..., it's as simple as that, take out some businesses that are indeed or promising, or have stable profits, or are easy to realize, such as the Tang family's Wusongkou Shipyard, which covers an area of ​​120 square meters. Mu, with four docks and two wharves, it has always been the largest shipyard in Songjiang and Suzhou, basically monopolizing the manufacturing of large and small ships in Songjiang and Suzhou, with solid assets and stable profits, with an estimated asset value of 60 taels,..."

"...I also invited Ningbo Su Zhengxian to negotiate the purchase, but Su Zhengxian is expanding his own Ningbo shipyard, so he can't come up with so much money,..."

"... Zhuojia in Nantong Prefecture owns a shipyard and its business is not bad, so it intends to acquire the Wusongkou Shipyard, but Zhuo's strength is not enough, and it can only take out 10 taels of silver, even if he borrows from Haitong Yinzhuang. I can only borrow 10 taels, which is still a shortfall of 40. In fact, there are many people in Songjiang and Suzhou who are optimistic about Wusongkou Shipyard. Many of them are sea traders, timber merchants, and ship owners related to the shipbuilding industry. They don’t have the strength, and secondly, they don’t have the experience in this industry to operate, so what should we do?”

"..., so I wondered if I could try a stock split for listing,..."

Guo Zhengyu listened very carefully, and asked Feng Ziying carefully to understand every word that Feng Ziying said.
