Who did you learn from? Yi Zhizu thought it was not good and showed off too much. He was just reading novels and forums online, and he deliberately collected these things when arguing with others. However, Yi Sanshao was originally a master who didn’t like reading and ate, drank and had fun all day long. The contrast between the two was too big.

How should I explain it? I couldn't find a reasonable explanation for it for a while, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "It's all about learning. The younger generation does not like the eight-legged essays. It's not only rigid, but also practical. The younger generation likes miscellaneous studies and likes to think about analogies when encountering things. This knowledge is all learned by daily life."

Seeing him talking nonsense, Wu Bingjian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Since you are paying attention to it everywhere, as a child of the Thirteen ranks, you should also pay special attention to the Thirteen ranks. I think you have unique insights, so why not talk about it."

This problem was not expected by Yishishi. He couldn't help but complain, just borrowing some money. Is it necessary to take the exam endlessly? Even though he complained, he still had to deal with it seriously. After thinking for a while, he said: "Thirteen Industry has prospered because of one-time trading and monopoly of foreign trade. Because of the joint and mutual protection system, Thirteen Industry has invisibly turned Thirteen Industry into a huge unlimited liability company.

When trading with the larger British East India Company, Thirteen Corporation naturally gained the upper hand. Now, facing British and American businessmen with poor reputation, weak financial resources, profit-oriented and unscrupulous actions, if they do not know how to adapt, Thirteen Corporation's decline is only a matter of time."

"Why do you need to make adjustments?" Wu Bingjian glanced at him and said, "Guangdong Customs cannot rectify British and American businessmen. Can't they even rectify those foreign businesses? Without foreign businesses, British and American businessmen must not obey?"

"Pinghu Gong is sincere in exams for juniors." Yi Zuzu said calmly: "If it is so easy, the Thirteen dynasties will not fall into the situation today."

After a moment of saliva, he continued: "The court explicitly banned smoking. Why did A Furong import more than one year? The reason is very simple, profit! Because smuggling A Furong has huge profits, it has been banned repeatedly.

Similarly, foreign businessmen colluded with British and American businessmen, and there were also huge profits, so there were more and more foreign businessmen. Just like leeks, they cut one crop and grow another. As long as British and American businessmen have demand, these leeks will never be cut all!"

These words were so sharp that they pointed to the essence. Wu Bingjian's expression immediately became solemn, and he said, "How to adapt?"

After pondering for a moment, Yi Jingzu spoke slowly: "Of course, it is the right medicine. In the past, the British East India Company monopolized trade with the Far East, and the Thirteenth Federation also monopolized the Qing Dynasty's foreign trade. Monopoly against monopoly, no one suffered a loss.

Now that the East India Company is closed down, the British merchants who trade with the Qing Dynasty. The monopoly of the merchants is naturally at a disadvantage. Therefore, the British merchants try every means to collude with foreign merchants outside the thirteen businessmen.

It is very simple to remove the monopoly of foreign trade in Thirteen Banks. This is divided into two situations: one is passive flexibility, and the other is active flexibility. The so-called passive flexibility is to abolish Guangzhou's status as one-door trading, and the monopoly of foreign trade in Thirteen Banks will naturally be cancelled..."

"Impossible." Wu Bingjian denied it flatly: "Guangzhou traded in Yidian was the ancestral system established by Qianlong. Now it is just a founding king. He follows the ancestral system everywhere. How dare he change it easily?"

Daoguang will not change, but the British will use strong ships and powerful cannons to force him to change, but this cannot be said at the moment, and even if he says it, the other party will not believe it. Yi Jingzuo did not argue, and said tactfully: "Thirty years, Hedong, forty years, Hexi, and the world has changed. Who can see through it? When Kangxi opened the sea, he had four traders, and then changed to one-speaking traders. How could he know that he would not change them again?

Passive flexibility is determined by external forces, and Thirteen corpses are powerless. Let’s not talk about it for now. Active flexibility means Thirteen corpses will give up their foreign trade monopoly….”

Give up the monopoly of foreign trade on its own? Wu Bingjian was shocked by this incredible proposal. With the collapse of the British East India Company, a large number of British and Indian merchants flocked to Guangzhou and colluded with foreign traders, which became increasingly fierce. Although the monopoly of foreign trade in Thirteen industries did not reach the point of being in name only, it was also in danger.

But even so, none of the 13 big and small businesses had the idea of ​​actively giving up the monopoly of foreign trade in their minds. They all fantasized that Guangdong Customs would vigorously rectify. Wu Bingjian was holding this idea. He was going to take advantage of the opportunity of Xingtai Bank's bankruptcy and asked Guangdong Customs to severely rectify foreign trade and re-regulate foreign trade order.

After a moment of stunnedness, Wu Bingjian said with confusion: "Without foreign trade monopoly, can the Thirteen Industry still exist?"

"It's just a false reputation, why don't you give up?" Yi Zhizu said slowly: "If you give up the monopoly of foreign trade, if you get rid of the shackles that Guangdong Customs has put on Shisanxing, relying on the experience accumulated in the monopoly of foreign trade for decades, the connections and goodwill accumulated, will Shisanxing still be afraid of competing fairly with foreign trade?"

"It makes sense." Wu Bingjian said slightly, and then he sighed lightly: "I can't stop. Even if the Thirteenth Front is willing to give up the monopoly of foreign trade, the Guangdong Customs will not agree. Even if he can feed the Guangdong Customs, the court will not allow it. Do you know how much silver Thirteenth Front has donated to the court over the years? Tens of millions, how can the court let go easily? It can only be just thinking about it."

"That may not be." Yi Zhizu smiled and said, "If the wind is calm, the thirteen lines will naturally be difficult to escape the control of the court, but if the wind blows, there is an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Wu Bingjian was excited and said, "You mean the ban on smoking in the court?"

"That's right." Yi Zhizu nodded and said, "The large amount of A Furong's input and high profits are shocking. The court has strictly banned smoking, and British and American businessmen will definitely not be willing to give up, and disputes will arise at that time..."

Will the court strictly enforce bans smoking? After all, the little guy is young and only sees the harm of A Furong's smuggling but cannot see who is the biggest beneficiary behind A Furong's smuggling. However, having such insights and judgments is considered an extremely rare talent.

Although Yi Yunchang was not very good, he gave birth to a good son. Wu Bingjian sighed inwardly with some envy, glanced at Yi Zhizu, stood up and sang to the outside world, "Come on the tea, use the big red robe I treasured!"

Wu Bingjian actually ordered the gift of his treasured big red robe to entertain Yi Zhizu. Wu Changqing couldn't help but be shocked. The treatment was really high, but he admired it from the bottom of his heart. No one of the juniors of the Wu family could talk so well in front of Wu Bingjian, and he was deeply happy with the old man.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself that Yi Zhizuo was hiding so deeply. No one believed this when he said it. The famous ejaculation guy in Xiguan was so capable. His old man was worried and took out his treasured Dahong Pao to entertain him.

When he thought of the treasured Dahongpao, he couldn't help but be very excited. It was produced by a century-old tree in Jiulongke. It was thirty years old. The old man usually looked like a treasure like a baby, and he wouldn't take it out easily. Today, he was able to taste it with the light of contentment.

Yi Zhizu was also very curious about the Dahongpao treasured by Wu Bingjian. However, the main purpose of coming today was to borrow money. Seeing that Wu Bingjian was in a good mood, he dared not miss the opportunity. He immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness to Gong Pinghu. However, my father is still waiting outside, junior..."
