Chapter Five Hundred and Eightieth IX See Through but Not Tell

As soon as Liu Zhao returned to the palace, he got the news.

Gu Jiu became suspicious of Chen Dachang's matter.

Qian Fu pleaded guilty, "This old slave is stupid, it's all the old slave's fault."

Liu Zhao waved his hand, "It's none of your business. Arrange Chen Dachang to Cosmopolitan Trading Company. With my wife's keenness, I will definitely notice something strange."

After dismissing Qian Fu, Liu Zhao didn't hesitate for a moment, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, and went directly to the upper room.

"Are you busy today?" Liu Zhao changed his outer robe in front of Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu glanced at him, "Fortunately, these are trivial things. By the way, Chen Dachang is still alive, you know about it."

Liu Zhao: "..." As soon as he came, he asked him directly about Chen Dachang, did he suspect him?

Gu Jiu continued: "Chen Dachang wants to leave the capital and go to the south of the Yangtze River, and he takes shelter at the Universal Trading Company. What do you think about this?"

Liu Zhao: "..." Is this a temptation?

"Sihai Trading Company is your property, you can use it however you want. As for the fact that he is still alive, it is not surprising."

Gu Jiu smiled and put down the book in his hand, "Chen Dachang's ability is unquestionable. If he is willing to help me, I can't wait for it. It's like adding wings to a tiger. But I don't trust him."

Liu Zhao was straightforward, "Then don't use him."

Gu Jiu looked at Liu Zhao, "Don't you think it's strange?"

"What's so strange?" Liu Zhao pretended to be stupid, very resembling it.

Gu Jiu said solemnly: "With Chen Dachang's method, even if someone wants to harm him, he can escape safely. Even if he can't escape safely, he needs to find someone to help. There are so many people in the capital, but he just came to me. You say It's strange. It seems that he has identified me, or maybe someone behind him is advising him."

"Who can be behind him? With Chen Dachang's status, I don't think there is anyone else who can drive him besides the father. Do you suspect that the father wants to put nails in the Four Seas Trading Company?"

Liu Zhao couldn't help frowning.

Gu Jiu looked at him with a half-smile.

Liu Zhao: "..." MMP, could it be that his acting is not good enough?

Gu Jiu picked up the book again, smiled and said, "No matter who arranged for Chen Dachang to find me,

I'm going to use him. "

Liu Zhao suddenly had the illusion of being seen through by Gu Jiu.

Don't tell me if you see through!

Occasionally get confused!

Gu Jiu no longer mentioned Chen Dachang.

It's not easy for Liu Zhao to continue this topic. After all, the goal has been achieved.

He just said symbolically, "Don't embarrass yourself."

Gu Jiu flipped through the book without even looking at him, "I'm not in trouble. He's just a mere person, no matter what his status is in the past, the huge Universal Trading Company can accommodate him."

"Let me know if there is any problem, and I will handle it for you."

Gu Jiu smiled, "Okay! I'm planning to set up a courier company, you can help me find some courageous people, preferably veterans, who can write and count."

"What is a courier company?"

"Help people send letters and deliver goods, and charge a little fee."

"Is it a station?"

"The exact term is official post. It's just that my business is to make money, and it mainly serves the common people."

Liu Zhao became interested.

Sending letters plays a huge role in military affairs.

He asked, "Where are you going to send it?"

Gu Jiu said casually: "The existing route is from the capital to Luozhou. Set up a courier point at each rest stop to collect and deliver the goods. Only deliver to each county, and the farthest is every town, kiosk."

Liu Zhao asked curiously, "Can you make money?"

Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him, "It's definitely not making money in the early stage, the main thing is to build a reputation. In the later stage, there are more routes, so it can make money."

"If this business can really make money, the cost doesn't seem to be high, and it's easy to be learned by others."

Liu Zhao hit the nail on the head.

Then Gu Jiu made a clear statement for later generations, "My wife has been imitated all the time, and has never been surpassed."

Take the most profitable real estate as an example, there are now no less than fifty real estate firms in the capital, who can compete with Sihai Real Estate?

So many businessmen, after learning the model of Xinmin County, went back to their hometowns and wanted to create a city. As a result, most of them fail without incident.

These merchants have neglected an important factor. The reason why the Four Seas Commercial Bank was able to build the city was because of the support of the emperor and the court.

Just resettling tens of thousands of refugees has solved the long-standing problem for the court.

And as more and more refugees poured into the capital, Four Seas Trading Company has successively resettled hundreds of thousands of refugees.

Most of these refugees are concentrated in Xinmin County, and a small number are scattered in various counties in Gyeonggi.

With such contributions as the foundation, Xinmin County, outside the south gate of the city, can successfully build a city.

However, someone imitated the Four Seas Meat Shop, and they really did it. It also drives the local economy.

As long as these imitations are not a waste of time and money, Gu Jiu is happy to see them.

In many cases, she would even take the initiative to support some commercial firms, and everyone would heat up the market in the capital city, and take out all the money that the old landlords hid in the cellar.

When money circulates, the market really starts to heat up.

This is a long and arduous task.

It is a long-term project to break the consumption habits of the world and make people willing to pay for consumption.

Gu Jiu is not in a hurry, she has enough time and patience to make arrangements slowly.

When in this world, no longer worrying about food and earning money becomes easy, even the most stingy old fortune will spend with copper coins.

As long as consumption is consumed, the court will have tax revenue, merchants will have income, and the products produced by the workshop will be sold smoothly.

What should we do when the market is saturated and supply exceeds demand?

Do you want to watch those follow-up workshops go bankrupt and those workers lose their jobs?

Gu Jiu smiled slightly.

Outside of Dazhou, the world is vast.

The vast land and huge population will be Da Zhou's market and Da Zhou's cattle and sheep.

The big deal is to engage in semi-colonization and directly dump goods.

Of course, the current production capacity is far from being saturated.

In the vast Dazhou, less than 5% of the market potential has been developed, and it is a time when there is a lot to do.

Before developing the market, Gu Jiu decided to start express delivery first.

When the commodity market is extremely abundant, the main service targets of the express delivery industry will be those commercial firms, factories, and various big bosses and merchants.

Only when goods circulate and money circulates can the commercial market develop.

Food allocation can be delivered to the destination at the lowest cost.

Only when the revenue of the imperial court can be effectively used can we truly reduce unnecessary losses.

This is the blueprint in Gu Jiu's mind, and it is also Liu Zhao's blueprint.

Liu Zhao said, "Is it feasible to use all veterans for this courier business?"

Gu Jiu shook his head, "Not good! With the development of the express delivery industry, do you know who the most affected people are? Those porters who make a living by delivering goods to others. A porter is behind a family. My express delivery company, Like the toll booth, half are veterans and half are local porters."

"Okay, it's up to you. Tell me about how overseas colonization works."

Liu Zhao's eyes shone with excitement and danger.

Overseas colonization is a fatal temptation for him.

Gu Jiu bared her teeth, did she release a monster?

do not care!

Let's deal with the present first.

I don't know if the two of them, husband and wife, can really colonize overseas in their lifetime.

If there is such a day, Gu Jiu thought, she also wants to go overseas to see.

...

Gu Jiu made an appointment with Chen Dachang, and met at Xianrenju.

Gu Jiu made a disguise by himself.

She said she was pregnant and would not go to the palace to pay her respects. In a blink of an eye, I ran out to go shopping and drink tea.

If this spread to the palace, it would be enough for her to eat a pot.

The less trouble, the better.

Gu Jiu simply dressed up as a man, left the palace under the cover of Qian Fu, and came to the idle residence.

Deng Cunli had been waiting at the back door of the idle house.

"Madam is here! Eunuch Chen has been waiting in the backyard for a long time."

Gu Jiu got down from the carriage, holding a folding fan in his hand. Looking from a distance, he is clearly a suave and suave son.

She played with the folding fan and asked, "Is he alone?"

"There is also an old servant who drives a carriage."

Gu Jiu laughed, "Come on, follow me in and meet this old thing."

Enter the idle residence through the back door.

Here in the backyard, there is no one on weekdays.

But today, a teahouse somewhere in the backyard is more popular, and there is also the sound of the piano.

Deng Cunli was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "It's Eunuch Chen playing the piano."

I really didn't expect that Chen Dachang could do all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Gu Jiu asked curiously: "When you studied in the inner study, what did you learn?"

Deng Cunli bowed and said: "Similar to Guozijian, they mainly study the Four Books and Five Classics. In addition, they also learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Eunuch Chen was the best one among our group of people back then."

Gu Jiu understood.

No wonder Chen Dachang was reused by the late emperor in the end. But Deng Cunli almost couldn't get along, so he was introduced to Gu Jiu by Mother Fang.

After playing the song, Gu Jiu opened the door and entered.

Clap clap!

Three slaps sounded.

"Good qin! Although my wife doesn't know how to play the qin, she can hear the resentment from Eunuch Chen's qin sound. Could it be that Eunuch Chen is not willing to work in Sihai Trading Company? He is even less willing to go to Jiangnan?"

Gu Jiu got straight to the point without saying a word of politeness, and went straight to the heart of the problem.

Chen Dachang raised his head and looked at Gu Jiu who was dressed in men's clothes. The glare of the sun made him lose his mind.

"I heard that Madam Zhao is pregnant, how can she dress like this?"

"Why can't you dress up like this? Eunuch Chen, have you forgotten that you are not an ordinary person. When Madam Ben comes to see you, I naturally have to cover up."

Gu Jiu flicked his sleeves and sat on the floor.

There is a short table between the two of them.

The servants took the guqin away and replaced it with tea and snacks.

Gu Jiu gestured to Deng Cunli.

Deng Cunli quickly replaced the tea in front of Gu Jiu with boiled water.

She is pregnant and drinking tea is inappropriate.

"Eunuch Chen, my wife doesn't believe you. But I am willing to use you."
