When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 80: Patting the head to kill, useless to the heroine
Gu Hua and Su Fuying played with the four children for a while. After the children became sleepy and were taken away by Xia He and the others to sleep, the two went to the study.

"The court has approved the maritime trade that Jiang Kanghui mentioned three years ago. Now everyone is pooling their family funds to rush to the capital as soon as possible to get an overseas trade license, whether by spending money or using connections."

Su Fuying put away her folding fan and discussed business with Gu Hua with a serious look on her face.

Gu Hua lowered his eyes.

Overseas trade was previously mainly managed by officials, and the foreign trade of the Daxuan court was mainly based on the Silk Road, and it did not pay much attention to maritime trade.

But merchants have a keener sense of smell and they have long realized that maritime trade will bring them huge profits.

Now that the imperial court allowed merchants to engage in overseas trade, they would certainly collect high commercial taxes. However, compared with the huge profits brought by overseas trade, that high tax was nothing.

In recent years, with the gradual rise of the Gu family, except for the Chen family, the other three of the four major families in Jiangzhou City have suppressed the Gu family's business.

Gu Hua knew that if he did not participate in the competition for overseas trade this time, no matter which of the other companies obtained the overseas trade license, it would not be good news for the Gu family.

Even the Chen family is the same. Business is business. As long as Gu Hua wants to develop the Gu family, she will inevitably compete with them in business. Even brothers cannot do this, let alone people she just likes.

Su Fuying: "This time the boss said he was going out to raise some funds, how is it going?"

Gu Hua tapped the table with his fingers bent, and said nonchalantly, "Some of the things have been sold, and we have raised two million taels of silver."

"So much." Su Fuying didn't expect Gu Hua to be able to raise so much money without going out. "Boss, although the overseas trade license is important, we can't rob it."

Gu Hua paused, then raised her eyes and looked at the handsome man who was looking at her with worry in his eyes. She gritted her teeth and said something that seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth: "Next time I go to rob, I will definitely take you with me."

"Pah!" Su Fuying casually opened her folding fan, "That's not necessary."

Su Fuying put away her joking expression and got back to the point, saying, "Two million taels of silver is not a small amount compared to other wealthy merchants in Jiangzhou City.

But compared to other places and the capital, which also secretly want to participate in overseas trade, the aristocratic families with abundant wealth and strong backgrounds are not enough. "

Gu Hua frowned. "Go and collect the funds from the shops in various places with your cousin. You can probably get more than one million taels of silver. Let's take it to the capital to see the situation first. If it's not enough, we can talk about it later."

Su Fuying put away her folding fan and said in a negotiating tone, "I have too little experience. Can you leave Gu Chen in Jiangzhou this time and take me to the capital to see the world?"

Gu Hua narrowed his eyes and thought seriously, "If you are not afraid of becoming an unemployed vagrant when you return from the capital, you can hand over such a big business to your cousin, right?!"

"Unemployed...vagrants" Su Fuying suddenly realized, "People who have no work to do and wander the streets?"

Gu Hua: “Almost.”

Every time the boss Gu Hua left, he would leave the business around Jiangzhou City to herself and Gu Chen. Su Fuying could feel that between herself and her cousin Gu Chen, Gu Hua trusted his abilities more.

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go." Su Fuying: "I sold it to the landlord."

"Almost." Gu Hua said with a smile: "If you don't want to go home and eat your own food, then you should guard our Jiangzhou base well."

Gu Hua smiled cunningly. He was paid the highest salary, so who else could he exploit? Su Fuying, the general manager of the Gu family's silk and cloth shop, not only received the highest salary from Gu Hua, but also his annual dividend income was comparable to that of some small wealthy merchants in Jiangzhou City. Now he was a well-off man.

He used to laugh at those who were inflexible and chose to stay in the Gu family as shopkeepers, but now he is jealous and wants to kick those dozen wealthy shopkeepers to death and replace them himself.

Unfortunately, they knew that even if they did so, no matter who took over as the manager of the Gu family, it would not be the turn of those of them who had chosen to leave when the master's family was in trouble.

After Su Fuying left, Gu Hua sat alone in front of the study window, looking at the sunset spreading across the yard.

This time she sold part of the jade in her space and raised three million taels of silver, and then drew another one or two million taels from other shops. She had also saved three and a half million taels in her space over the years, which added up to nearly eight million taels of silver.

This amount of silver may seem like a lot, but it is not enough for what Gu Hua is going to do next.

Not to mention whether one can earn a spot to trade overseas among the many wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families, even if one does, going overseas to do business will require a considerable amount of expenses and money for imports and exports.

"Bang!" Gu Hua slammed the table and stood up. "Never mind, let's go to the capital first and find a way to get an overseas trade license."

After making the decision, Gu Hua started to prepare for his trip to Beijing.

The tall, strong man with a stern face in front of him looked at him with sharp yet gentle eyes. Gu Hua raised his eyebrows, without any emotion on his face.

"If you have something to say, just say it. No matter how long you look at me, I won't get any flowers on my face."

"Hahaha." Qi Yan raised her lips of moderate thickness and laughed out loud: "After three years, you, woman, are still so boring."

Gu Hua glared at him...

I'm bored that this shameless woman has been staying by my side for so many years and never left. Don't think she is stupid. She just doesn't know what her real purpose is in following me to Daxuan.

Judging from Qi Yan's imposing and stern temperament, as well as the two younger brothers, Korle and Bilu, who he brought with him, it would take some people to believe that he was just an ordinary person.

"I heard that you are going to the capital in a few days. Can you take me with you?"

"If I say no, you won't go?"

"Ahem." Qi Yan awkwardly clenched his fist and put it to his lips, coughing softly: "No."

Gu Hua glanced at him and knew that he would go with her whether she refused or not, so did it matter whether she agreed or not?
"This time you wanted to go on your own, and there is no public funding for the trip." Gu Hua said stingily.

The smile on Qi Yan's lips became even more intense. "I'm used to eating and drinking for free. Master Gu wouldn't be so stingy, right?"

"Hmph." Gu Hua stood up and looked unwilling to talk to him. He said with a bit of disdain: "Since you are still useful, do your job as a bodyguard on the way. If I am in a good mood, I can even give you a meal."

Qi Yan smiled as she saw Gu Hua's proud little look, with her head held high. She looked so cute no matter how she looked at her, and she stretched out her big hand and wanted to touch her head.

Gu Hua was not some naive, innocent girl. How could she allow a man to touch her head? She raised her leg and kicked Qi Yan: "Get lost, stop touching me."
