Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 84

"Are you the prefect of Zhongshan?"

Cai Yong asked dumbfounded.

Exactly!

A smile appeared on Guo Jia's face.

This……

Cai Yong opened his mouth wide, and it was difficult to close it for a while.

Although Guo Jia is talented, but his behavior is frivolous. At first glance, he is not a child of a wealthy family, but probably a child of a big merchant.

Although Cai Yan favored him and Cai Yong was powerless to object, he still had some regrets in his heart.

Cai Yan has both talent and appearance, and only a hero in this world can match him.

Cai Yong still regrets following Guo Jia now.

Hearing that Guo Jia was the prefect all over the place, Cai Yong's eyes almost fell out of shock.

These days, if you want to be a high-ranking official like the prefect, you must be a descendant of an aristocratic family in addition to being rich.

Could it be that this Guo Jia is a child of some family?
"Your Majesty is Lord Guofu of Zhongshan?"

Gu Yong was also very surprised.

As the number one Gu family in the south of the Yangtze River, they are naturally better informed than Cai Yong.

Zhongshan County has been very active recently.

I heard that the prefect of Zhongshan County is going to open a border trade in the county, promising never to collect taxes, big businessmen from all over the country are going to investigate.

Naturally, the Gu family will not let go of such a good thing.

What Gu Yong didn't expect was that before they sent anyone out, Guo Jia, the prefect of Zhongshan County, came to his door in person.

"Guo Fujun came to the house in person, and the whole Gu family was terrified. I have offended you a lot before, and I hope you will forgive me."

Gu Yong cupped his fists and saluted respectfully.

Ordinary prefects, he may not be so respectful, but Guo Jia is also different.

Not only did he defeat him in terms of talent and learning, but he was also well-organized in governing the country.

Ha ha!

Guo Jia helped Gu Yong up again.

"Those who don't know are not guilty. Besides, we don't know each other without fighting!"

ashamed!

Gu Yong showed shame on his face.

If he had known that Guo Jia was the turbulent Zhongshan prefect, he would never have competed with him.

But then again, how could he have thought that Guo Jia was the prefect of Zhongshan County?

"Guo Jia!"

Cai Yong was a little unhappy.

"As the prefect of a place, how can you leave the city privately without an imperial edict?"

It is a capital offense for the eunuch to leave without the court's summons.

Seeing that the future father-in-law was still so pedantic, Guo Jia couldn't help shaking his head.

The reason why he came to Jiangnan was not for the Cai family father and daughter?
This came from a long distance, and the old man complained a lot, who could he turn to for reasoning?

"Ahhhh!"

Cai Yu on the side couldn't bear it anymore.

"Father, if Guo Jia doesn't come, you won't be able to see my sister. She might have been married off by someone from the Cai family. Besides, if he doesn't come, our father and daughter may not meet so soon."

otherwise!

Cai Yong said seriously: "Public is public, private is private. Guo Jia, as the prefect of the imperial court, is responsible for guarding the land, so naturally he can't abolish the public for private reasons. Otherwise, it would be dereliction of duty."

Cai Yong is such a person, it doesn't make sense to be pedantic.

Master Cai!

Gu Yong couldn't bear to listen anymore.

In other words, he also felt a little troubled by this master's pedantry this time.

"Father-in-law and son-in-law came here not privately, but for official business, for the great cause of border trade in Zhongshan County."

Guo Jia hurriedly found a reason.

He really didn't want to talk nonsense with this Cai Yong.

is it?

Cai Yong's face looked better now.

"Father, it's getting late, let's go back and talk."

Cai Yan hurried out to smooth things over.

She was afraid that something unpleasant would happen to Cai Yong and Guo Jia.

Ok!

Cai Yong nodded.

Father and daughter have not seen each other for such a long time, and he does have a lot to say to his daughter.

……

Cai's father and daughter left soon.

Gu Yong breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Guo, the Gu family is very interested in Zhongshan's border trade. I wonder if Mr. Fu can talk about it in detail?"

no problem!
A smile appeared on Guo Jia's face.

This time, he originally came to pave the way for border trade.

I have already negotiated with many merchants along the road, and if I do the work of connecting the Gu family in the south of the Yangtze River, it can be said that the merits and virtues have been completed.

The Gu family is the first in Jiangnan, with their participation, it will surely radiate the whole Jiangnan.

Your Majesty please!
Gu Yong was overjoyed.

Being able to hook up with Guo Jia is of great benefit to the Gu family.

Please!
Guo Jia was not polite either, he cupped his fists first and walked in first.

Gu Yong followed closely behind.

As the eldest son of the first family in the south of the Yangtze River, Gu Yong's family business is naturally very prosperous, and the room is also neatly tidied up.

The two sat down as the guest of honor.

"Brother Gu!"

Guo Jia called out.

Dare not dare not be!

Gu Yong clasped his fists again and said, "If your lord can respect you, please give me a sigh!"

He was already convinced by Guo Jia.

That being the case!

Guo Jia smiled, and said, "I'll call Yuan Tan out of my embarrassment. The four surnames in Jiangnan are Gu Lu Zhuzhang. The Gu family ranks first and has great influence in Jiangnan."

Your lord Fujun praised it!
Gu Yong smiled.

Their Gu family still has some influence in Jiangnan.

Guo Jia suddenly reached out and tapped on the table.

"How much do you Gu family know about Haimao?"

Maritime trade?

Gu Yong's spirit was shaken, the four surnames in the south of the Yangtze River can eat land and sea, and the sea trade is naturally not a problem, only their Gu family has a lot of sea ships.

These sea-going ships carried goods from the Central Plains, traveled as far as Southeast Asia, and traded with the local aborigines.

"Your Majesty, you are asking the right person to ask this question."

Gu Yong said confidently.

Appreciate further details!

Guo Jia nodded.

He has always had an idea to connect land and sea routes.

In this way, the trade route can be smoother.

There is Zhongshan County as the base on the land route, but he has no clue on the sea route.Now that he heard that Gu Yong had a way out, he immediately regained his spirits.

"There has been sea trade in the south of the Yangtze River since ancient times. Although the imperial court has always banned it, some aristocratic families still go to sea secretly. Because sea trade is very profitable."

Gu Yong said with a smile.

The reason why their Gu family became number one in the south of the Yangtze River is inseparable from the fact that they have a huge ocean-going fleet.

Guo Jia listened carefully for a while, and suddenly said: "Yuan Tan, if I send the goods from the north to your Gu family, and you ship them to Nanyang, what do you think?"

That's what I wish for!
Gu Yong was also overjoyed.

The key to business is to buy low and sell high to exchange what is available.

If he can get the goods from the north and then transport them to the south to sell, it will be a huge profit.

very good!

Guo Jia showed a smile on his face, and said word by word: "From today, the two of us will be partners. I will give you Gu Yong the agency rights for all Jiangnan's goods. I hope we can cooperate happily!" "

Gu Yong hurriedly stood up, and slowly fell to the ground.

"Thank you, my lord, for your fulfillment."

With Guo Jia's support, his position in the Gu family has become more stable, and at the same time he can lead the Gu family to become stronger.
