The dispute ended in an unhappy ending, and Chen Kai made it clear that he had no intention of leaving the Zheng Group. This was not only about Zheng Xiyuan, but more importantly, it didn't matter if Zheng Jing was the heir. Zheng Chenggong had to be executed at one point in history.

There is no need to be afraid of this heir. To put it bluntly, whether the Zheng Group will continue to be named Zheng in the future is still a matter of discussion!

After leaving Zheng Chenggong's mansion, Chen Kai returned to his residence in the post office. The mansion that Zheng Chenggong had given him for his wedding had been decorated long ago, but he never moved in, especially after Zheng Zhiwan's death.

After returning to his residence, Chen Kai once again closed the door and thanked his guests. As a result, a group of people came to try to get close to him the next day and were rejected.

The news that Zheng Zhiwan's body was opened and exposed spread, and the children of the Zheng family, who had been cheering and cheering before, all felt like mourning. Those who knew about Zheng Zhiwan should feel relieved that they suddenly had so many "filial sons and grandsons".

Zheng Chenggong ruthlessly dealt with the former subordinates, but Zheng Chenggong could not get a satisfactory answer from Chen Kai. However, Chen Kai could not delay everything just because of Chen Kai.

Sweet dates are still necessary, not to mention that this is the core interest of the Zheng Group.

"Originally, we relied on the old relationships within the clan to maintain trade channels, but now I'm afraid we can no longer use them. Our Zheng family's strength is constantly recovering, and the imperial court is seeing it. The last two

In the past year, local investigations have become more and more strict, and business is not as easy as before. Especially after this incident, I am afraid that the government will intensify its efforts to investigate, and we must change our appearance."

Zheng Tai came back from Japan, and Zheng Chenggong invited another person in the clan who was trustworthy and capable in business, Zheng Qiwu, to come over to discuss the business restructuring of the Zheng Group.

"According to my wishes, set up a five-element shop of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, responsible for purchasing goods in the areas occupied by the Japanese, and dumping the goods purchased from overseas. Set up a fleet of benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, trust, and Wuchang to sail along the coast, Japan, Korea, and Ryukyu.

Senior officials, including Luzon, Southeast Asian countries, and even Batavia, are responsible for purchasing overseas specialties and selling our Ming Dynasty's silk, porcelain, tea and other specialties."

Hearing this, Zheng Tai and Zheng Qiwu couldn't understand that this was Zheng Chenggong re-integrating the Zheng Group's business resources and reorganizing their layout. While avoiding the eyes and ears of the Qing court, they also wanted to deal with some of the assets allocated to the Zheng clan during the Zheng Zhilong period.

Maximize the use of resources that only enrich the children of the Zheng family but cannot enhance the strength of the group.

However, since Zheng Chenggong was able to bring the two of them to discuss together, he was treating them as confidants. In terms of interests, he would not treat them badly. As for whether the interests of other Zheng children would be harmed, because of the prosperous branch lineage,

The number of people is small but there are other families who are close and distant, so they can't take care of it.

Hearing this, Zheng Tai nodded, and then said: "Actually, now that the fourth uncle has retreated from Baisha, the power of our Zheng family has returned to the banner of Damu. What the adoptive father did back then, such as collecting tolls, made

Flag leasing, such as Nanyang, Japan, North Korea, Ryukyu, Dawan and coastal passenger transport, and manpower intermediaries, these can actually be started again."

"Speaking of it, what happened to my brother-in-law in Guangzhou last year not only destroyed the foundation of the Guangdong Navy to rebuild the navy, but also established the great reputation of our Zheng family and re-established the position of our Zheng family navy in the Guangdong Sea.

Our dominant position. Now in the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong, no one can compete with us except Hongmao. Even Hongmao's United East India Company, they are here to do business. If they make money together, how can they be in vain?

uneasy?"

When Zheng Tai mentioned Chen Kai, he still praised him highly, and did not change his attitude because of some opinions within the Zheng family. He was already an extremely smooth person, and Chen Kai had not harmed his interests, and there was no need to go to him in vain.

Offending people.

Mentioning these here, Zheng Qiwu also expressed his agreement. After all, the Zheng Group has been reunited. Unlike the previous split, the strength has been restored, and those who are timid are more likely to be coveted.

"The Five Elements Shop can be centered in Hangzhou. It has direct access to the sea and can radiate to the three provinces of Jiangnan, Zhejiang and Jiangxi. Silk, porcelain, cane sugar, medicinal materials, Shaoxing damask, white damask, silk, crepe and so on can be purchased nearby."

"Hangzhou's geographical location is indeed good, but our Zheng family is still based in Fujian. We purchase goods from Hangzhou, then transfer them to Fujian, then transfer to Zhongzuo Institute, and then transfer them to other places from Zhongzuo Institute..."

Xiamen is a maritime trade center operated by the Zheng Group for many years, and it is an island. It can be shielded by the navy. Unlike Hangzhou, which is an area occupied by the Qing army, shops can still be hidden in the city with a population of one million and merchants everywhere.

In the cities, but to engage in large-scale maritime trade in front of the Qing army is simply to treat the Qing government as a blind man.

"In addition to these, I think that it is necessary to separate out trustworthy merchants, cronies, servants, etc. to sneak into the inland and lay out the various prefectures and counties. It does not matter how big the scale is, as long as the small amount makes a big one. These can be used as a supplement to the Wuxing shops and the Wuchang fleet.

.In addition, the original relationships should not be abolished and should continue to be maintained. Even if the imperial court finds out, it can be used as a cover-up."

Zheng Tai and Zheng Qiwu are both experts. Compared with Zheng Chenggong, their understanding of the sea trade of the Zheng Group is not only more comprehensive, but also clearer in details. They are the confidants trained by Zheng Zhilong to be responsible for sea trade.

Before Shen Shen, in the Zheng Group's layout, Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhipeng and Zheng Zhihu who died in the battle were all recruited as pirates to clean up their reputations. Zheng Hongkui took the martial arts examination and became an official. Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Chenggong entered the civil service group through the imperial examination and used the proceeds from maritime trade as bribes.

, relying on the presence of the Dutch to be self-reliant, the entire group developing in an all-round way, and penetrating into the entire administrative system of the Ming Dynasty, so that it would not end up like Wang Wufeng.

With the planning of these professionals, the maritime trade layout was restarted. Zheng Chenggong simply delegated power to them. General Zheng Tai took charge of maritime trade, established Yuguo, Limin Second Treasury, and Shanhaiwu Merchants. At the same time, Zheng Qiwu presided over the trustworthy department of some departments.

He borrowed money from businessmen, cronies, servants and others, and lurked in the hinterland to expand trade routes.

As the representative force of trade-oriented mercantilism in the East, the Zheng Group has experienced Zheng Zhilong being plundered and the Zheng Group split, until today, it has reunited and finally entered a new period of development.

Maritime trade is the fundamental interest of the Zheng Group, and its profits are so huge that Zheng Chenggong can only afford them. With this, Zheng Chenggong has raised tens of thousands of troops throughout history, and has become a force that cannot be ignored in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. This is evident from this.

Today, the strength of Zheng Chenggong's command is stronger than in history. When the Zhongzuo Command was just attacked and Zheng Hongkui retreated from Baisha, he decided to further control Kinmen. In this way, Xiamen Island's gateway to the outer sea is in hand.

Could be safer.

Although the two sides had drawn a clear line, Zheng Chenggong did not intend to make things happen. He led a large army to attack Kinmen Island, striving to directly lift the defenses of the Kinmen defenders without causing bloodshed.

As the fleet set sail, Chen Kai still did not cancel the status of thanking guests behind closed doors, but he could still make exceptions for Lu Ruoteng, Shen Quanqi and others.

In the post house, Chen Kai and Lu Ruoteng were sitting across from each other, drinking tea, and chatting all over the world. It was not until a long time later that Lu Ruoteng couldn't bear it anymore, and he said to Chen Kai worriedly: "It's true, you are like this after all. It will set you on fire."
