Guo Jin sent Guo Jun a reward for a whole ship.

There are money, food, food, clothing, and many things.

Even if Guo Jun doesn't want it, it's OK to give it to his subordinates.

The necessary expenses are very meaningful for the subordinates who follow him to keep them by their side.

Everyone comes from the wealthy Wei Kingdom, and their hometown is far away from the Central Plains. It is impossible for them to leave the Central Plains and settle in such a place without any thoughts.

So treating the army well and subordinates is very meaningful.

Establish prestige and treat their subordinates well, so that they will feel embarrassed and reluctant to leave themselves in the end.

Guo Jin not only delivered things to Guo Jun, but also wrote a letter to tell Guo Jun that he would prepare what he needed and then delivered it. Now what he sent was a little bit of his brother's intention.

This is very clear. How could Guo Jun, who was born in the imperial family, not know?

He knew that he could not change, so he didn't think about changing anything, but... he was just a little complicated.

With a complicated mood, Guo Jun wrote a reply to Guo Jin and congratulated him.

In the letter, he formally praised him, congratulated the emperor as a minister, and wished him a long life.

Guo Jun thinks that this may be what Guo Jin needs.

The father's era is over and the brother's era is beginning.

There is no longer a father-son relationship between the Wei Empire and the Duchy of Western Shu, but a special relationship between brothers.

Brothers are different from fathers and sons, and the changes they should be made must be made.

Of course, at the same time, his era has also begun.

My brother is the emperor. He is also a monarch, and he can be a powerful person in the world.

While the brothers are showing off their strengths in China, Guo Jun feels that it is necessary to show that he is also Guo Peng's son.

So, Guo Jun also began the second round of colonial conquest.

Before meeting local forces with enough strong enough and sufficient population, Guo Jun felt that military conquests were necessary.

Once he encounters a local force with a certain amount of power, such as a large settlement with a population of more than 100,000, Guo Jun feels that it is necessary to take some special measures to deal with them.

The troops he had was not infinite. Guo Peng invested him only 10,000 people, and it would take at least three years for the population to increase the number of troops to arrive here. He could not get more troops.

Therefore, he needs to use some special means to avoid head-on confrontation with major forces, and to adopt means of transcending curves to confront major forces.

For example, Wang Haibo and his group of people have figured out how to use advanced weapons to exchange for trust and cooperation, and then instigate several forces to fight and profit from it.

The troops were limited, and blindly fighting could not win. The methods of the strategists in the Warring States Period were the kingly way.

Guo Jun has received education from the theory of the Zongheng family and knows how to use this skill of changing the world.

This land is an excellent stage for him to display his talents.

However, without discovering large political forces, military conquests are still the main means. His goal is to attack the seven tribes that were more or less discovered after entering the mainland.

It can probably have a population of about 30,000 to 40,000.

This group of people will be captured and enslaved, and the manpower to build a city should be gathered. Next, we will wait for professionals from Wei to come and guide us.

After the domestic city-building experts arrived, Guo Jun could start building the city he wanted.

Always living in places like military camps is not a big deal.

It can be dealt with in the short term. In the long run, a reliable city must be used to shelter from wind and rain and avoid risks.

The city is the foundation of everything.

When Guo Jun began to show his strength, Guo Jin learned a huge amount of good news in Luoyang City.

Since the sixth year of Yande, Guo Peng has been stationed on the Japanese island to explore gold and silver minerals and returned from the Japanese island in a hurry.

They rushed back to Luoyang City in a hurry and reported to the new emperor Guo Jin that they had found a huge silver mine on the Japanese island.

It is not clear how big it is, but the veins currently explored are huge veins that have not been able to be mined for ten years.

They have never seen such a large vein, especially precious metal ore such as silver ore.

According to current estimates, it should not be too difficult to collect thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms of silver every year. As long as manpower, material resources and transportation capacity can keep up, they can send silver back to the Wei Empire.

Guo Jin was very excited when he learned the news and immediately informed Guo Peng, who was engaged in education reform. After learning about it, Guo Peng was stunned for a while and smiled.

"God treats you well, A Jin, I have been exploring for my father for seven years. Once you ascend the throne, you will find it. In this way, when you become emperor, you should not have to worry about not having money to use it."

Guo Peng then suggested that Guo Jin send more people to explore and mine silver mines, then transport more silver back as reserves, and then prepare for issuing silver coins and promoting monetary reform.

"Copper coins are bulky and have low prices, and bulk transactions are often extremely inconvenient. Silk and silk are high and can be used for bulk transactions, but they are fragile and easy to destroy and do not preserve their value. Once they encounter large-scale disasters, they are prone to losing all their money, which is not conducive to the development of private business.

If you want to better promote commercial development and collect more commercial taxes, it is necessary to promote the circulation of silver as a currency. You must reserve enough silver as soon as possible, make enough silver coins, and then link silver to grain."

"Why must it be food?"

Guo Jin asked.

"Because people cannot have food, in the year of famine, their wealth is not as good as their food. Food is the hardest hard currency. A Jin, remember, no matter what money you use, it must be linked to food, and food is the foundation."

"So... my son understands."

Guo Jin said that he had understood what Guo Peng meant, and then ordered that enough professional personnel be dispatched from the Neiting East Factory to go to the Great Silver Mine on the Wadao Island to start mining to increase the amount of silver mines.

He also ordered his confidant Lu Yu to go to the Japanese island to serve as the silver transport envoy, who was fully responsible for silver mining and transportation, and ensured that the mined silver could be transported to the State of Wei to the maximum extent.

With excitement, Guo Jin is looking forward to more good news from the Japanese island-

According to the person who came to report the news, not only silver mines, but also small-scale copper mines and gold mines. If mined in place, it will bring huge returns to the Wei Empire every year.

The small archipelago was fragmented, but so many precious metals were found.

If this continues to mine, it will take less than a year to recover all the costs that Guo Peng spent for this in the past seven years and start to make a profit.

This made Guo Jin very happy.

The Wei Empire, which had originally seemed a little financially tense due to the two major projects of the Grand Canal and the Dachi Road, suddenly became rich because of this huge profit.

The increase in wealth has made Guo Jin more confident. He has thoughts about things that he dared not think or do before.

The expenditures of the Grand Canal and Dachidao can be supported by relying on the wealth that Guo Peng plundered from the world's powerful manors in the past ten years of Yande, but it is a bit insufficient to do something else.

Now that there is a huge income from the silver mine, Guo Jin's bound hands and feet are free.

He can certainly make the news of the discovery of the Great Silver Mine public as good news and promote the legitimacy and destiny of his rise.

But compared to these, he felt that real achievements were more meaningful.

Real achievements can make people feel his presence as an emperor.

He is the emperor, he is not a puppet, nor is he a rubber stamp that Guo Peng pushed to the front of the stage.

He has his own will and can do things according to his will, rather than following Guo Peng's instructions.

But Cheng Yu, who is still alive and serves as the Sili Captain, always makes people think this way, and he cannot reverse this way of people.

This made him feel helpless.

So he thought of the best way to prove his presence - to start a war.

There were indeed no enemies around the Wei Empire, and even if there were, they were defeated.

The piercing and sweeping cave strategy in Heping Prefecture in Mozhou is a model of accumulating small victories into big victories. The dozens or hundreds of beheadings are not inspiring. The war model that has been used to it over the years has made people accustomed to it.

The war between Jiaozhou and Yunzhou was not fierce either. It was mostly similar to the way of wars sweeping the caves in Liting. There were often good news, but the number of beheads and spoils were not large, which could not inspire people.

None of these are real wars, they just teach the disobedient indigenous people.

The other party is not the same country at all, and it is not interesting to fight.

In the end, you will only develop as much land as possible and obtain as many slaves as possible to work.

How can there be the power of destroying a country be filled with joy?

If you want to establish your authority and truly establish a milestone event correctly, the best thing is to take action against a disobedient country to prove that you are also a martial emperor.

The Wei Empire established both civil and military achievements, and not only attached importance to civil and military achievements, but also to military achievements.

Civil and military officials were two irrelevant parallel-line promotion rules, which destined that the Wei Empire not only attached importance to civil and military governance, but also to martial arts.

During his reign, Guo Peng did too many major things, which pushed his achievements in civil and military affairs to the peak.

Then he retired gloriously at the most glorious moment, leaving behind an undefeated legend - he never lost in his life.

This is an important reason why he overpowers the world. He is invincible in the eyes of the world.

As long as he lives for one day, no one dares to challenge the orthodox of the Wei Empire.

But what if he dies?

Guo Jin knew that he could not be compared with his father, but in terms of civil and military affairs, he had to pay tribute to his father no matter what.

He cannot just focus on civil and military affairs, he must also have a record of being able to make moves.

Not to mention the attack on the Western Regions, the war he himself led must have been once or twice.

Strong force is always the cornerstone of a country's prosperity.
