Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Well, there are no mineral deposits at all. We don't count on gold and silver deposits, but there is no iron ore on the island. Iron can only be transported through Datang. However, iron is also a controlled material in Datang. It’s just a drop in the bucket. Now Fuyu country is in short supply of weapons and armor, even if there is, it’s not as sharp as Fusang’s. If we fight with Fusang, our Fuyu country will suffer a lot!”

When Guo Ye heard it, it was really nothing to do. It was really not easy for the bearded man and the red girl to persist until now!

But this is still not a problem for Guo Ye. Didn't the Netherlands want nothing at the beginning?Later, he was called "Sea Coachman" and dominated the world for more than 100 years.

Guo Ye believed that with his guidance, it would be no problem for Fuyu to dominate the East China Sea.Thinking of this, Guo Ye said: "Fuyu country hangs alone overseas. The country is full of Chinese survivors. We can't let other countries bully us. If Fuyu country wants to develop and grow, it must annex Fusang, Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo and other countries. .”

Yu Nuannuan sneered and said: "You are too whimsical, and you even annexed others. Now let's find a way to defeat Fusang, or our Fuyu country will perish."

Guo Ye said: "Forging iron requires one's own hard work. Whether it is to defeat Fusang or dominate the East China Sea, the national power of Fuyu country must first be strengthened. So how to strengthen the national power of Fuyu country?"

When Guo Ye said this, he kept silent, drank his tea slowly, looked at Yu Nuan Nuan with a smile, with the expression that you came to beg me, and I will tell you if you beg me.

The bait is fat enough for the fish to swing their tails to bite the hook.

Yu Nuannuan saw that Guo Ye had almost drunk the tea, so she quickly poured it for Guo Ye herself, and really begged: "Master Pingyang County, you have a gully in your chest, and if you come up with an idea, you can save thousands of people from water and fire. Look For the sake of hundreds of thousands of people in Fuyu Kingdom, just tell me!"

Guo Ye had enough airs, took another sip of tea, smacked his mouth twice, and said, "Some things are easier said than done. If you want to make the country rich and powerful, the first thing is to be shameless!"

"shameless?"

"Yes, shameless. If a small country wants to develop, it can't do without hugging the thighs of a big country. Look at Fusang, thousands of miles away, but still come to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute. What is it for? It's not the wealth and technology of the Tang Dynasty. You help What about the rest of the country? Since the founding of the country, have you ever been an envoy to the Tang Dynasty?"

Yu Nuannuan said with a bitter face: "These are all decided by my father. My father originally wanted to fight for the world, and he went overseas when he saw that the situation could not be done. He wanted to make a career. How could he send an envoy? The Great Tang is proclaiming himself a vassal!"

Guo Ye patted the table and said, "That's right, that's why you said it. What you said to me before were all excuses. Why didn't senior Qiubeard let you meet His Majesty, and refused to be a minister to the Tang Dynasty? It's not because of His Majesty's quality The bad sex is not because of the diplomatic relations between Datang and Fusang. It is your father who can't hold back his face and asks Datang for help!"

Seeing that Guo Ye arranged for her father, Yu Nuannuan couldn't agree with her, so she said: "The issue of diplomatic relations between the Tang Empire and Fuyu Kingdom is still up to Father. However, I will pass on your words to Father. Apart from this, I wonder if Duke Pingyang has any other options?"

Guo Ye also knew that it was very difficult to change the bearded man's thinking, so he said his second solution: "Princess Nuannuan, look at Chang'an City today, among the people doing business, except our Changlefang Bank, Who are the richest people?"

Guo Nuannuan thought for a while and said: "If you want to say that a rich person is a Hu merchant from Persia."

"Then why are they rich?"

"Those Hu merchants have basically controlled the trade between Datang and Persia. The silk of Datang can be sold at sky-high prices in Persia. The treasures of Persia are also very profitable when brought to Datang."

Guo Ye said: "Nuannuan, are you still very smart? Since ancient times, without agriculture, there is no stability, and without business, there is no wealth. If Fuyu country wants to become rich, it must work hard on trade. Hu merchants controlled the trade on the Silk Road , will be able to rival the country's wealth. What if the Fuyu country can also control a Silk Road?"

"What? Another Silk Road?"

"Yes, it is the Silk Road on the sea. The cost of transporting goods by boat is much lower than that of camels. The citizens of Fuyu are fishermen, and everyone is a natural sailor. You can go directly to Shipping goods to foreign lands!"

The Maritime Silk Road mentioned by Guo Ye is completely feasible.In a few decades, the Silk Road on land was interrupted by the war, and the Silk Road on the sea began to rise on a large scale.Now Guo Ye is just realizing the Maritime Silk Road decades ahead of schedule, and there is absolutely no problem technically.

Yu Nuannuan said hesitantly: "However, the sea is very windy and the waves are strong. We used to go close to the sea. Is it feasible..."

Guo Ye waved his hand and said, "If you want to make the country rich and powerful, how can you do it without taking some risks. This maritime trade route has actually existed since the Han Dynasty, but it has not been developed on a large scale. With the shipbuilding technology of the Tang Dynasty today, It is no problem to overcome the wind and waves on the sea. You Fuyu country cannot farm, and the citizens are all fishermen. From the perspective of others, it is your disadvantage, but to me it is completely your advantage. The benefits of commercial development, agriculture is completely incomparable!"

Yu Nuannuan thought for a while and said, "If this is feasible, Fuyu's navy will be reborn. By then, we will be able to defend against the enemy outside the country's gates, and we will no longer have to worry about the invasion of the four kingdoms."

Guo Ye said with a smile: "When the time comes, the people of Fusang will not be able to sleep well. Your Fuyu country's navy is strong, and the world is at your mercy. Domination of the East China Sea is just around the corner!"

Yu Nuannuan was happy to see what Guo Ye said, and said, "The second method sounds good, but I don't know how it will actually work. I wonder if Mr. Guo has a third method?"

Guo Ye chuckled, and said: "Of course there are, and if there is any more, you will cut diplomatic relations. You help the rest of the country to fight against the four countries. The strategic disadvantage is too great. This situation must be changed. In fact, there are many contradictions among the four countries. It’s not monolithic. Let me analyze it: Baekje, a country that surrendered to Fusang, was considered to be with Fusang. Silla was bullied by Goguryeo, and never forgot to take revenge. Between Silla and Baekje, there were also conflicts from time to time. It can be said that the relationship between Silla and the other three countries is not good. You can form an alliance with Silla first, so that there will be one less country that besieged Buyeo. Silla does not need to attack you, and concentrate on dealing with Goguryeo, Goguryeo Being overwhelmed can also greatly reduce your stress!"

Yu Nuannuan said: "I don't know how to make an alliance with Silla?"

Guo Ye pointed to himself and said, "I'll take care of this matter. The Silla Kingdom has been seeking an alliance with the Tang Dynasty to fight against Goguryeo. They just asked for me, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty, and their life is not easy. At that time, I proposed that Fuyu should be added to the alliance, and Silla dare not refuse."

Yu Nuannuan saw that what Guo Ye said was sound, and it seemed that in a blink of an eye, the Fuyu Kingdom would rise up and dominate the East China Sea.

Seeing that she was full of little stars, she hurriedly asked: "Guo Ye, what you said is very good, but it's a pity that you can't quench your thirst in the long distance. The problem now is that Fuyu's treasury has no money. You can change the money immediately." ?"

Chapter 1225

Is there any way to solve Fuyu country's urgent needs?

This question is difficult for others, but it is not difficult for Guo Ye.

Can a bank be short of money?This is too ridiculous.

Compared with the insatiable greed of later generations of banks, Guo Ye couldn't help feeling that the Nuannuan princess of Fuyu Kingdom in front of him is really a harmless little white rabbit!

Guo Ye said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this? Don't say a few million guan, it means tens of millions of guan. If I, Guo Ye, say a word, it's as easy as looking at the pattern with the palm of your hand!"

"Hey, Pingyang County Lord, don't be fooled, just say it, say it!" Yu Nuannuan asked impatiently.

Guo Ye replied unhurriedly: "The matter still has to fall on Changlefang Daqianzhuang!"

Uh……

After hearing this, Yu Nuannuan was so angry that she didn't die, and said: "Guo Ye, Guo Ye, you have today! After pretending for a long time, I thought you had some good idea. In the end, you have to sell it My shares in Changlefang! Forget it, forget it, because you gave me a few good ideas, I don't care about it with you!"

"Who said they were going to sell the members of Changlefang?" Guo Ye looked into Yu Nuannuan's eyes and said word by word, "I'm talking about the big money bank in Changlefang, not the sale of the big bank in Changlefang. Bank!"

Yu Nuannuan had a flash of inspiration, and asked hesitantly: "Could it be..."

Guo Ye said: "Yes, it is to borrow money from Changlefang Big Bank! Miss Yu Nuannuan, your shares are worth a lot of money, but compared with the money in Changlefang Big Bank, it is nothing!"

At this point, Guo Ye suddenly remained silent.

Something is wrong with this.

Yu Nuannuan has been running Changlefang Big Bank for so many years, so why don't she know how to borrow money from Changlefang Big Bank?Income and loan out, that's what she does!

If Yu Nuannuan had only such a little IQ, how could the Changlefang Big Bank be managed by her?

You know, for Changlefang Big Bank, Guo Ye is a hands-off shopkeeper, and the other two shareholders, Chai Lingwen and Liang Ershao, don't play much role. The soul of Changlefang Big Bank and Big Bank is Yu Nuan Nuan!

Guo Ye, Guo Ye, you really underestimated the heroes of the world!

Guo Ye looked embarrassed, and said: "Nuan Nuan, you can't think of this, right? Is there something wrong with my thinking?"

Yu Nuannuan smiled charmingly, took a sip of tea, and said, "Mr. Pingyang County, it's not that you are not thoughtful, but you are too thoughtful. I am very touched by Nuannuan!"

"Actually, I also know that there is no hope for Fuyu Country if it continues to fight. Selling my shares in Changlefang Big Bank and raising a sum of money can only solve Fuyu Country's urgent needs."

"Fuyu has no self-development ability, and it will be wiped out sooner or later. If Changlefang Big Bank belongs to someone else, I will definitely borrow money. Is it possible that they can still go overseas to collect debts?"

"But Changlefang Big Bank was created by me with all my hard work, and there are shares in it from good friends like you. I know there is no hope, so why should I cheat Changlefang Big Bank?"

Yu Nuannuan paused for a moment, and said gratefully: "But it's different now. Unexpectedly, Mr. Pingyang County, you still have a way. From what you said, there is still a lot to do in helping Yuguo! I want to borrow money, and I want to borrow a lot A lot of money!"

Guo Ye thought to himself, lending out this money is the same as buying national debt in later generations, so he was naturally happy to see the result, and said: "Princess Nuannuan, don't worry, Changlefang Big Bank is your strong backing for Fuyu Kingdom. Interest In terms of quality, it is definitely calculated according to the highest quality customers!"

"Interest? Do you still have interest? I, Yu Nuannuan, have worked hard and conscientiously for so many years, and I have broken my heart for the Changlefang Big Bank. Are you in trouble now? I need the help of the Changlefang Big Bank, and you still want interest?"
