After transmigrating into cannon fodder, he had sex with the villain

Some people were surprised, while others were not surprised. Is it strange that Gu Zhao brought it up first?Gu Zhaoben was one step ahead in many things, his vision was farther than others, so how could he fail to see the changes of the people inside and outside the court.

Many courtiers in the court and many dignitaries in Beijing are closely connected with major merchants behind their backs. Nowadays, because overseas trade merchants are making more and more profits, the connection between officials and merchants is getting closer.

Ministers like Yao Shoufu, although they also want to plan for the younger generation of the family, they also think that it is more appropriate for the Department of Shipping to be in charge of Gu Zhaolai, so that it can bring more benefits to the court, instead of being like other officials. It's fattening his own pocket.

This document was easily approved. Although some conservative ministers objected to letting go of this opening, there were more supporters, so the voice of opposition was invalid. The emperor ordered someone to send a decree to Gu Zhao in court, order Gu Zhao let it go at his discretion, and completely handed over this power to Gu Zhao. Many officials envied and envied this trust, but they could only try to get along with Gu Zhao.

After the court's decree came, Gu Zhao started this work. In fact, the Department of Shipping has discussed this matter several times, and the regulations have been established during the discussions. Therefore, this time it will be officially implemented, and it only needs to be implemented according to the regulations. Just come down to the charter and do it.

The first thing the Shipping Department does is to review the qualifications of merchants who are required to participate in overseas trade, and issue licenses after passing the review. The second thing is to auction off a batch of seagoing ships eliminated by the Shipping Department.

When the news from the imperial court in the capital came out, many merchants came to Yaocheng to wait. Many merchants had dealt with Gu Zhao and the Shipping Department for a long time, and knew that it would be impossible for him to go through other channels, especially in the past two years. Gu Zhao also established a reputation for each merchant, which is a rope stuck around their necks. They cannot evade taxes, and cannot do illegal things that are not allowed by the court. Once the reputation is downgraded, it will not be able to Participating in the various auctions of the Shipping Department, even if you ask other officials to intercede, you can't do it. Gu Zhao is so stern and selfless, and only follows the rules.

In the past three years, there were no reports of visiting Gu Zhao in the court, or they had never been interrupted. However, the emperor and the empress trusted him, and the ministers felt helpless against him.

Therefore, the merchants who came here can only submit the qualification review honestly and in accordance with the rules. Only after the review can they participate in the bidding for sea-going ships. This kind of sea-going ships that can go to sea cannot be built by their own merchants. , even if it can be built, the sea-going ships produced may not be as strong as those provided by the Shipping Department.

Although it is an old sea ship that has been eliminated, it is also because the Department of Shipping has invested a lot in shipbuilding, so the replacement of sea ships is also very fast. The Department of Shipping and the Navy will always only use the most advanced ships, which leads to a backlog. A batch of obsolete old ships.

Some merchants suspect that the reason why Gu Zhao wants to open up overseas trade and let merchants participate is because there are more sea-going ships that have been eliminated. They want to take this opportunity to dispose of a batch and make a lot of money by taking the opportunity No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Gu Zhao and the Shipping Department to lose money.

Moreover, it is an auction, which means that the final transaction price of these sea-going ships cannot be low, because so many merchants are waiting for the sea-going ships to get their hands, and no matter how high the price is, they have to win it. After three years, it is not enough for them to understand How lucrative is overseas trade?

I don't know who spread this kind of statement, but it spread more and more, and got more and more people's approval. When it comes to doing business, Gu Zhaoke has never suffered a loss, and no one is his opponent. Didn't it just be established by him, how much money has the Shipping Department made for the court in the past few years?It's no wonder that the emperor and the empress trust him more and more.

Some merchants cooperate with each other, and they cannot compete with big merchants. They can always get a boat when they unite.

Anyway, before the auction, all the merchants showed their talents.

The statement that Gu Zhao’s real purpose was to sell sea-going ships was heard from Qiao Huan’s mouth. Wouldn't it be a waste to hold some sea boats in your hands if you want to photograph them."

Qiao Huan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it. Outsiders didn't know, but in fact, Gu Zhao in the shipping department privately proposed the opening of overseas trade earlier than the outside rumors. Gu Zhao had already considered that this day would appear, so he made it earlier. Without preparation, selling seagoing ships is just a part of it, so you can't make yourself lose money.

Gu Zhao still handed over to Qiao Huan the matter of bidding for sea-going ships. Anyway, he was familiar with him and was used to dealing with various merchants. It was very suitable for him to come forward. Excellent, like a fish in water, I like my job very much.

The Qiao family did not avoid suspicion, but the Qiao family joined forces with the other two to participate in the auction. Although the profits would be thinner, the risks could also be shared.

The Gu family did not participate. The Gu family only needs to hold the shares of the Shipping Department, and they have not lost money in the past few years. What's more, the Gu family has always had business dealings with the Shipping Department, because a large amount of rubber is used on ships, especially rubber. Tires, which the crew can use to save their lives at critical times, and inflatable rubber kayaks.

This time, the Shipping Department released a total of [-] obsolete old ships. According to the difference between old and new and the degree of renovation, the starting price is also different. When the price of each ship is called, there is a lot of rush, and the final transaction price is very impressive, etc. After all these ships were found, the Shipping Department received another large sum of money.

These merchants have prepared the banknotes of the Dazhou Bank early, and the banknotes that the Shipping Department will eventually obtain will be deposited in the Dazhou Bank. He suffered a lot of losses, but the imperial court also issued policies to compensate them. For example, he could join the Dazhou Bank to reduce losses as much as possible.

Gu Zhao and Yan Mu didn't show up directly, but stayed in a box, and the businessmen outside didn't know that they came to watch.

Seeing that the sea-going ships were being sold at quite a low price, Yan Mu tutted his tongue, "These merchants are really rich, and they will throw away thousands of taels of silver."

Gu Zhao was not surprised: "In these days, no matter how much tax you pay for doing business, you can still earn much more than the people who honestly farm the land. Small businessmen are like this, and big businessmen earn more. Otherwise, how could there be so much money?" Many people would rather take the risk to join this business, but now the atmosphere of the imperial court is also open, and the status of merchants is constantly improving, as long as these merchants still act under the restraint of the imperial court and contribute commercial taxes to the imperial court, then there will be no problem."

Officials, businessmen, businessmen, businessmen are always ranked behind the officials, so Gu Zhao feels that there is no problem, but the court also needs to be vigilant at all times, because most businessmen only see profits in their eyes, and they often take reckless risks for huge profits, which requires the supervision and regulation of the court .

Gu Zhao also asked the Gu family in the same way. Paying taxes honestly is the right thing to do. He also asked everyone to familiarize themselves with the laws of the Great Zhou. Anything that violates the laws of the Great Zhou should not be touched. Over the years, he has set some rules for the Gu family. Rules, these rules may become the family rules of the Gu family in the future, although he is not strictly of the blood of the Gu family, but the rules he said set the rules, and the Gu family did not object, he has the greatest voice within the Gu family.

It's not that he boasted, because the Gu family's current development was brought out by him, and the rules he set, even the villagers in Shuiyun Village consciously abide by them, because he and the Gu family also generalized Shuiyun Village. Taken away, Shuiyun Village is now the wealthiest village near and far.

Yan Mu played with Gu Zhao's fingers, pinched his fingertips, sighed and said, "I just got a secret decree from Beijing."

Gu Zhao was surprised and said, "The secret decree is passed on at this time, could it be..."

Gu Zhao thought of a possibility, that is, the emperor's body might not be able to hold on anymore. The emperor had already lived in the book world for a few more years, but Gu Zhao still hoped that the emperor could live for a few more years. , it may not be that the current Majesty trusts him so much, dares to let him act boldly, and still supports him behind the scenes. It can be said that His Majesty has the grace to know him, and therefore, Gu Zhao is willing to do his best for the Great Zhou court .

Yan Mu also had a deep affection for the emperor. In his mind, the emperor was just like his father. Compared with Yan Chongshan, his biological father, he was much more qualified, so he was not in a good mood when he received this secret decree: "It's not yet time, but pass it on first. The secret decree told me to be prepared to bring people into Beijing at any time to prevent any changes."

Gu Zhaomo paused and said, "I'll go to Beijing with you then." It would be even better if he could meet the emperor.

"it is good."

Although the reserve position has been confirmed now, and it is justifiable for the emperor to be succeeded by the empress dowager after the emperor's death, but there will still be ambitious people who want to make trouble at this juncture. stable.

The [-] sea-going ships went to different families, causing heated discussions among the people of Yaocheng. There was a wealthy businessman who took pictures of two ships in one fell swoop, causing everyone to gossip for a while.

There were also quite a few people who did the calculations for the Shipping Department, how much money the Shipping Department received when the twenty ships were sold, the figures were shocking. Perhaps the biggest winners were the Shipping Department and Mr. Gu. .

This kind of heat will last for a while, so outsiders don't know about it, even Gu Zhao himself is a little surprised, he also got a secret decree after Yan Mu, ordering him to go to Beijing immediately, the emperor wants to see him, Gu Zhao didn't dare to delay, asked his own people to cover him, and immediately took a sea boat to the capital, because it was faster to go by sea.

The travel and dust rushed to the capital, and it was the empress dowager Yan Xiangxi who personally welcomed Gu Zhao into the palace. Yan Xiangxi had a worried look on her face, but her brows were more firm, and she walked with Gu Zhao and said: "Father suddenly fainted a while ago. Fortunately, he was not in the court, otherwise there would be a lot of movement, but since he fainted, this body has..."

The Crown Princess is speechless. She has deep feelings for her father. Without her support, how could she have come to this point? Over the years, she has been teaching her how to run the government. If she can control the emperor's mind, the emperor will fall Next, she is the saddest.
