Chapter 299: He Really Didn't Do Anything
Don't look at the fierce women in Dashu Village, but they don't really know what Joan of Arc is and what is women's virtue, if they have to know how to speak, they won't say that.
Idleness and chastity, neatness and orderliness, shame in one's own actions, and law in movement are women's virtues.
When you go out to work, it is to make money to support your family, for your husband, and for your children, how can you say that you do not abide by women's morality, if you really have women's morality, you can insist on yourself wherever you are.
They are foolish, and they are jealous.
After Guo Dan arrived, most of the grain was in the grain store, and he had to make money to buy it, even if he didn't think about himself, he had to think about his children, and many women didn't want to show up, only because of the children, they decided to go out to work.
The ignorant women around them are not used to it, and all kinds of insults, rumors spread everywhere, and do not abide by women's morals, all of them are from Yin women.
After a few days of scolding, they gradually found that the neighbor's life was getting more and more moisturized, the sunrise couple went out with the children, and the sunset took the children home together, and some of the good crafts moved to the city.
The husband and wife went to work together, not only did their income double, but their children were able to go to the college for free.
In fact, it is not an academy, it is a temple in Weihui Mansion, Guo Dan will not build a primary school, because it is not cost-effective, he wants to build an elite college, for him, he only needs elite talents.
His requirements for these children are to simply read and write, and then come out to work early, with this cultural foundation, continue to learn at work, and if you are really talented, then give you further education.
And the temple, is very readily agreed to Guo Dan's request, Buddhism pays attention to the equality of all beings, not only do they not resist businessmen, but they like businessmen very much, this incense money has to rely on them, Guo Dan is now the largest businessman in Weihui Mansion, and at the same time has power, offending no one can offend Guo Dan.
And then!
Then they all ran to find something to do, and being compared to their neighbors and relatives was the most intolerable thing for them.
When I went out, I immediately regretted it very much, I didn't come out earlier, and all the good things were taken by the family.
Soon, the people of Weihui Mansion felt the benefits of the "contract system".
As long as they come out to do things, then it has nothing to do with taxes, and the money in their hands is all their own, although they are tired of work, but they feel relaxed and have no burden, because they don't need to think about it anymore, they have to go to labor tomorrow, and they have to pay taxes at the end of the year, they have no worries at all, they work hard to make money, and what they earn is their own.
Life has also become more planned.
If Zhang Juzheng's whip method is to simplify the complex, then Guo Dan's "contract system" is really simplified into nothing.
There was no government, and all kinds of cumbersome government affairs were gone, and the only thing he had to do was to establish courts, litigation courts, and pickets.
As for the court, Guo Dan didn't care at all, he just proposed a structure, that is, to establish a second-level court system, with each county establishing a court, and Ji County establishing a big court.
The main duty of the Supreme Court is to check the cases from the counties every year to examine and try cases related to foreign businessmen.
The rest is arranged by the squires themselves, anyway, the local squires are in charge of the local area, just saying that the people of the two townships appear in the same case, then the gentry of the two townships have to avoid suspicion. In addition, only those on duty can receive remuneration, and most of these squires are rich, and they are more likely to live an official life.
The squire used to be in charge of the people, so the people didn't feel that there was any change, but felt very kind, and the gentry who lived next door might be the gentry.
Anyway, there must be a picket yard in each county, and at the same time, the officers and soldiers also have to be responsible for building rivers, roads, and other public places, they don't need to be tuntian now, but Guo Dan will definitely not let them eat idle meals.
Guo Dan's only responsibility is the litigation court.
But his operation is really rough.
It is to first designate a group of scholars who supported them at that time, and then it is, whether you love to come or not.
But the result was so annoying, those scholars came.
What are they studying for, isn't it to be an official, but it is not easy to be an official, there are so many geniuses in the world, all of them are rushing to the imperial examination, and there are few who can be officials, although this is not an official, but in fact, there is no difference from an official, and you can still get money, and you don't do it if you are stupid.
Guo Dan walked around Wei Hui's mansion and didn't do anything, and then everything became orderly.
Generally, if the imperial court wants to change the law, or promulgate a new decree, it is tiring to listen to it, but even if it is passed and implemented, it will definitely be a general mobilization of the whole country, and there will definitely be troubles of one kind or another, and many of them will fail.
Zhang Juzheng has been carrying out reforms for many years, and he is also running around, overcoming all difficulties, which is very difficult.
If Weihui Mansion is regarded as an individual, then Guo Dan's reform this time is definitely more fierce than Zhang Juzheng's reform, he is not just pruning branches and leaves, he has even changed the roots, there is no agricultural business, agriculture has also become a business, a large amount of cultivated land is contracted by other landlords or businessmen, this grain has to run to the grain store, there is no self-sufficiency.
What's annoying is that this guy laughs and doesn't say anything every day, but this "contract system" was popularized in Weihui Mansion almost instantly, without the slightest hindrance.
If Zhang Juzheng is still alive, it is estimated that he will also be angry to death, and it is the same change, why are you so relaxed.
Wu Guansheng and they also thought it was incredible, they followed Guo Dan around every day, they saw it with their own eyes, Guo Dan really didn't do anything, at most he just listened to it, and the notices were all posted by them, anyway, just explain the "contract system" clearly.
In fact, these contradictions and troubles exist, but they are transferred from the people and the government to the elite.
Nowadays the businessmen have become very busy, they have to calculate the amount of tax, they don't want to evade taxes, because the tax is really not high, they are afraid of miscalculating the tax, in case they are caught, but it is really a big loss, they have to calculate the cost of recruiting people and the profits, and at the same time they have to be responsible for management.
These people who have never gone out to work suddenly come to work in a big environment, and it is impossible to adapt immediately, in fact, the trouble has become more, not less.
It's just that these troubles have been divided up by businessmen one by one, and they have been broken into pieces, so many businessmen are in charge of it, so naturally they don't feel that there are many troubles, so it seems to be very smooth, but if an official is in charge, it will definitely not be managed.
This trouble is divided, so the prestige is naturally also divided.
This reform is so bland that everyone has forgotten Guo Dan's existence, as if it has become like this subtly, and it has nothing to do with anyone.
And Guo Dan also returned to Ji County in a very low-key manner.
"Are we on the wrong footing?"
"Could it be that we have come to Kaifeng Mansion?"
.....
Guo Dan in the carriage heard the exchange between Chen Xusheng and Wu Guansheng outside, and couldn't help but quickly open the curtains, "What's the matter?" ”
Chen Xusheng said: "Don't you know how to come out and take a look." ”
"Little Fifth Brother, I appreciate your attitude the most, at least if something goes wrong, I don't have to help you take responsibility."
Guo Dan said with a smile.
Chen Xusheng's face froze, and he hurriedly said: "You can't say that...... ”
Over there, Guo Dan had already lowered the curtains, opened the curtains again, and looked forward, only to see that there was a lot of traffic in the distance, people coming and going, and the cargo ships on the river were even more invisible.
You must know that after they came out, only a few vendors came to anchor here, how could it be so prosperous.
After looking at it for a while, Guo Dan lowered the door curtain, "It's not wrong, go directly to Jinyu Tower, I'm hungry." ”
"What the hell!"
Wu Guansheng scolded fiercely, this Nima is really exaggerated, and even gave them a feeling of one day in the world and a thousand years in the cave.
Chen Xusheng also felt very depressed, if he wanted to say that Guo Dan was too busy to die, they would admit it, the key Guo Dan was not here, and the result became like this, who to reason with!
It's even more exaggerated when you come to the city!
The houses along the street have all been turned into shops, and even the gate of Luwang's Mansion has been demolished and turned into a wide street, so that they almost don't know the road.
Along the way, they seem to understand some reasons, these people are almost all traders, they come here to negotiate business, but when they come here, they naturally have to consume, and at the same time they want to buy goods and go back.
The Jinyu Building is even more full of people.
Guo Dan had just entered the building, and he didn't know which stupid one shouted, "Oops! Guo Xian's nephew is here. ”
The building was suddenly silent.
was so frightened that Chen Xusheng and Wu Guansheng were about to draw their knives.
"Guo Xian's nephew? The legendary tooth merchant Guo Dan? ”
"He is Guo Dan."
"Guo Dan!"
.....
After a while, the people sitting in the building immediately pounced on Guo Dan.
Chen Xusheng and Wu Guansheng hurriedly drew their swords and stopped everyone.
The men were so frightened that they retreated.
"Little Fifth Brother, it's me! Duan Juyi, who sells jewelry in the capital. ”
"This brother, don't be excited, we just want to talk to Guo Gongzi about a deal."
......
The people who can sit here are all rich businessmen, of course they came here to invest, but Guo Dan is not here, and Chenchen can't be the master, so they have been waiting here.
Guo Dan rubbed his forehead and said, "Have you seen Chenchen?" ”
Duan Juyi said: "I've seen it a long time ago, but he can't be the master." ”
"I've seen it."
Guo Dan nodded and said, "I'll go back to see him later, and then I'll make an appointment with you to talk in detail, now that I've just come back, I'm about to starve to death, I'll eat first, don't bother me." ”
So saying, he went upstairs.
Those businessmen looked at Guo Dan with an unhappy expression.
There is a business at the door, you still show your face, believe it or not...... It is impossible not to do drops.
"Nephew, you're back."
When I came to the third floor, I saw Zhou Feng walking over with a smile.
Guo Dan glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Have you made a profit?" ”
"It's just made a profit, I didn't make much, I didn't make much. Hehe. ”
Zhou Feng waved his hand, but the irrepressible laughter had betrayed him deeply, he had only taken over a few days, and he had already begun to make a profit, and the sales were doubling again, it can be seen that Guo Dan didn't believe it, and said: "In fact, what really made money was the Hot Spring Pavilion, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a daily gold fight, I don't know how much money was spent there." ”
Guo said lightly: "Really? It's not good, they haven't even worked hard, they've started to be greedy for pleasure, and I'll criticize them later, but now I'm starving to death. ”
"I already ordered it when you were at the door, but the private room is really full, or you can go to my lounge and sit down."
"Okay."
When he came to Zhou Feng's lounge, Guo Dan went to collapse and said, "I'm really tired." ”
Zhou Feng hurriedly said: "It's really hard for the virtuous nephew, and he is running around for us." ”
Chen Xu was angry and said: "Old Zhou, you are really good at sycophants, he didn't do anything, he just looked around." ”
Zhou Feng said: "How is that possible, if the virtuous nephew didn't do anything, Weihui Mansion would have the prosperity it has today." ”
"Facts speak louder than words."
Guo smiled lightly, shook his neck again, and thought, the current carriage shock absorption system is really terrible, it seems that I really have to go to the hot spring pavilion later.
Zhou Feng suddenly said: "Virtuous nephew, there is something I want to talk to you about." ”
Guo Dan said: "What's the matter?" ”
Zhou Feng said: "The food in this Weihui Mansion is already in short supply, and it is all supported by the granaries of those big landlords, and now the number of people who come to Weihui Mansion is increasing day by day, and I don't know how much food to consume in Jinyulou alone, you see if we can go outside to buy food and come back." ”
Guo Dan nodded and said: "Of course, you don't have to pay deed tax when you go to buy grain, and the warehouse can also be free for free." ”
"It's a good idea."
Zhou Feng said happily.
In fact, he didn't say it, Guo Dan would also let them buy it, if the landlord was buying grain and selling it at this grain price, it would be difficult to make money, Zhou Feng and they could definitely make money by buying grain, because they consumed high here.
Zhou Feng said again: "In addition to food, this dish is also scarce. ”
Guo Dan said: "You don't have to worry about this, I will contract out all the pastures in Weihui Mansion to raise chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep." ”
Chen Xusheng immediately said: "This ranch is used to raise horses, you rented out the ranch, what about the horses?" ”
Guo Dan said: "Of course, I take the money to buy, the cost of raising horses is so high, blood loss, raising chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep is blood to earn, and I only go to raise horses if I am stupid, I have discussed with those Jin merchants, they will supply us with horses." ”
Wu Guansheng wondered: "Even if you buy it, you have to have a place to raise it!" ”
"Put it in the stable!"
Guo Dan said: "This horse is in my hands, it can still be idle in the grass, and when the horse arrives, it will be used to pull goods, and the money earned will be used to buy horse feed, or if you don't work hard, it will also starve." Oh, and then each picket will be equipped with a few, and it will be about the same, and if the court comes to inspect and gather the horses, it will be fine. ”
Profiteer! Even the horses were not spared.
Yang Feixu, Chen Xusheng, and Wu Guansheng all glanced at Guo Dan with contempt.
PS: There is one more shift at 11 o'clock.
