Guo Dan is a capital controller, but he is not a land controller, and from beginning to end, Guo Dan has no intention of colonizing.

Luzon was not considered a colony, but it was included in the administrative territory of the Ming Dynasty, and many of the people on it had moved from the mainland, and the locals had not formed a political regime there.

It's not that Guo Dan is benevolent, he is really not a benevolent person, one of the main reasons is that he thinks that the cost of maintenance is too high, and colonization is a very cost-effective deal for the Ming Dynasty.

The situation of the Ming Dynasty is not the same as that of the British, the territory of the Great Britain itself is very narrow, and it will soon be able to touch the ceiling, and it will urgently need productivity, markets, and raw materials, and there will be no overseas markets, and the British will not be able to develop, so they will colonize everywhere and look for markets everywhere.

And the Ming Dynasty itself is vast, and it is already necessary to pay a very high cost to maintain the existing territory, and the loss of money in an internal friction is far more than that of foreign wars, not to mention that many regions are now so poor that they are in a mess, if they continue to colonize, they will only play themselves to death, eat too much, and may cause obesity.

The key point is that this large-scale colonization is not conducive to the overseas expansion of the Ming Dynasty.

If you invest too much manpower and material resources in a large area of land, it will inevitably slow down your pace of expansion, so Guo Dan's strategy is to concentrate manpower and material resources to occupy some key points, or some mineral land.

Use "points" to control the entire area, rather than conquering it in pieces.

Because the Ming Dynasty has enough production capacity and a strong civilization, then as long as the two sides trade equally, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably earn blood, because the trade between large countries and small countries can not talk about equality, only fairness, equality is the blood of the big country, this is why the future generations have trade rules, big countries must let small countries some, give each other some preferential treatment, or directly give money, otherwise, people will not play with you, equal trade, I must die, then I will play a fart with you.

And in the face of a regional force, Daming is all big to small, as long as it is equal, there is no need to pay management fees, and it will not be hated, how cool is this!

Different national conditions will inevitably lead to different paths.

But one thing is certain, that is, this area must be my final say, and my brother is the district committee of this area.

This is sacrosanct.

If you don't listen to me, you have to bombard it.

It is necessary to ensure that the leaders of the surrounding areas must have their hearts set on the Ming Dynasty and must trade with our Ming Dynasty.

On this issue, it is obviously better to dispatch the Jinyi Guard than to dispatch the army, after all, the Jinyi Guard is low in cost and high in efficiency, and will not arouse the disgust of the local people.

Based on this, Guo Dan began to formulate a plan for the whole of Southeast Asia.

There are three main contents, first, immediately end the war with Dongwu and retreat to the traditional border line, so as to show goodwill to the surrounding areas, indicating that my Ming does not covet your territory, but if you come to provoke the Ming, the consequences will be very serious.

Second, full-scale trade with the surrounding areas and control of important ports.

Third, send a large number of Jinyi guards to the surrounding areas to ensure that there will be no anti-Ming forces in the surrounding areas.

And this plan is to be able to put more human, financial and material resources into the country, but where the empire will only die internally, the internal is the most important thing.

Yinuo Insurance launched price insurance, which immediately united the homesteaders around him, and the entire farm products of Nanzhili were also completely commercialized, which was much more thorough than that of Beizhili.

However, the current period is the transition from a small-scale peasant economy to a commodity economy, and controlling the farm goods market is equivalent to stabilizing the situation, and Guo Dan can finally breathe a sigh of relief and not have to worry about repeated horizontal jumps.

Nowadays, it is not so easy to incite yeoman farmers.

Guo Dan began to lay out Jiangxi again.

Jiangxi's geographical location is too important, the southeast is Fuguang, the southwest is Huguang, Guo Dan has invested a lot of money on both sides, if you don't get Jiangxi, the money will be wasted.

Once the war on the critical southern side ceases, Banju must rely on the Central Plains market and immediately resume commercial transportation.

Therefore, without waiting for Wang Xijue to return, Guo Dan has begun to dispatch personnel to Jiangxi to reopen Fengchi Group, Yinuo Qianzhuang, Yinuoya and Yinuo Grain Bank.

Because if Yinuo Group does not settle in Jiangxi, other businessmen will not go.

There's not even a single transportation, so what are you going to do there?

At present, the Jiangxi region has completely stabilized, but the government is still sparing no effort to arrest the remnants of the White Lotus Sect.

The White Lotus Sect lost very badly this time, mainly because his leaders and officials colluded, causing the officials to know them well, and now the officials want to kill them, it is simply a devastating blow.

On the surface, the government is fully wanted, and secretly there are many officials and magnates who have sent killers to hunt them down.

The White Lotus Sect has basically completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

But everyone knows very well in their hearts what is going on, the White Lotus Sect is just a knife in the hands of interest groups, and the real culprits are those officials and landlords, so it is impossible for Wang Xijue to let these officials continue to control the Jiangxi region, and he has long arranged for the Senate to be on standby.

Now that the general trend has been decided, the Senate immediately settled in Jiangxi and took over the local administration.

The Senate has only one task, which is to implement the new policy.

Now Cao Ke is implementing a new policy in the north, and here is the vice president Wang Heng, that is, the son of Wang Xijue.

It's really a father-son soldier.

"Heng'er, this is also a very valuable experience for you personally, you have to cherish your life, now Jiangxi is in ruins, and the opposition is weak, so whether you can implement the new policy and lead the people out of the predicament depends on your ability."

Wang Xijue said to Wang Heng in a serious tone.

"The child understands that the child will not disappoint his father."

Wang Heng bowed, and secretly glanced at Wang Xijue, and stopped talking.

Wang Xijue said: "Do you have something to say?" ”

Wang Heng was silent and did not answer.

Wang Xijue said again: "Is it about Hong Guobin and Cao Luzong?" ”

Wang Heng glanced at his father, hesitated for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Father, they have committed heinous crimes, but now they can still claim to be heroes, waiting for promotion and fortune, what is the reason for this, just talk about things, if these forces are not uprooted, they will also resurrect, the child is really... I really can't figure it out. ”

Wang Xijue sighed: "How could I want to let them go, but I have to do it, because they are not one person, not ten people, not a hundred people, but involve most of the imperial court.

If the imperial court brings them to justice, it will inevitably force many people to jump over the wall, and Huguang on the side will immediately fall into turmoil, and the newly stabilized Nanzhili will inevitably set off a new turmoil, and the imperial court will inevitably split again, and this turmoil will be wave after wave, will pull us into the quagmire, and more people will fall into dire straits. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "As far as matters are concerned, the reason for this turmoil is only because they oppose Guo Dan and oppose the New Deal, not because they are not properly governed, which led to this disaster. But whether this new deal is right or wrong, the new deal has just begun, and there is no conclusion yet, if the new deal fails, then in the future history books, they will be the iron-clad loyal ministers, and we will become a great traitor to the country and the people.

Therefore, if we want to prove their guilt, it does not lie in whether they colluded with the White Lotus Sect or whether they incited the people to make trouble, but in the success or failure of the New Deal, and whether the New Deal can strengthen the country and enrich the people. Can you revitalize my Daming?

Then again, if we choose to uproot them and lead us into endless struggles to the point where the New Deal fails, then the end result is that we will bring disaster to the country and the people, and they will all be martyrs. On the contrary, if we can take into account the overall situation, let the new policy be better implemented, strengthen the country and enrich the people, and revitalize the Ming Dynasty, even if they can escape the catastrophe now, they will inevitably be spurned by others and nailed to the pillar of shame in history. ”

In fact, the fate of these officials depends entirely on Wanli.

If Wanli sends Guo Dan to deal with it, Guo Dan will definitely uproot them, of course Guo Dan can do this, the two sides are enemies, I don't kill you who you kill.

But Wanli chose to send Wang Xijue to come, if Wang Xijue did this, the court would face a split, which involved too many people, and the cabinet itself was also anti-Guo Dan, and the cabinet integrated the court through Guo Dan's threat theory.

If Wang Xijue wants to investigate to the end, isn't it self-contradiction, you want to lead us to oppose Guo Dan, but you arrest all the anti-Guo Dan officials, then you are a two-five boy.

Everyone will definitely not be with the cabinet anymore, the situation will only get worse than before, and Wanli will also have a headache, so Wanli sent Wang Xijue to take over Jiangxi, the purpose of which is to hope that Wang Xijue will do this.

If Wanli wanted to bring these officials to justice, Wang Xijue would not dare to do so.

Wang Xijue can only protect the reputation of these officials and put all the blame on the head of the White Lotus Sect, so that the officials will naturally breathe a sigh of relief and hurry out of this struggle, because the current general trend has been decided, and if they are still entangled in this, everyone will be unhappy, and in the future, under the leadership of the cabinet, everyone will work together to implement the new policy.

Wang Heng pondered for a while, bowed down and said, "The father's earnest teachings must be remembered by the child. ”

"Whether this counts as a sincere teaching, I don't know." Wang Xijue shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This is actually all the experience I learned from Guo Dan. ”

Wang Heng was surprised: "Guo Dan? ”

Wang Xijue nodded and said: "From Guo Dan's initial contract for the canonization ceremony of the imperial concubine to the present, he has been scolded, and his methods are not fair and opportunistic, but he has not done less, but now in the hearts of the people, he is righteous, and we are evil."

Why? It is because he finally brought livelihood to the people and prosperity to the country, but we have been stopping him, and we will naturally be scolded by the people. In the past, I often criticized Zhang Gelao, but now when I am in his position, I understand his suffering! ”
