Chapter 415: Fighting for Dominance
For contracting these three mansions, Guo Dan refused from the very beginning.
At that time, there was no mention of heavy agriculture and suppression of business, that is to say, he did not refuse this transaction because of heavy agriculture and suppression of business.
The reason for his refusal is that it is not needed, and it is not profitable.
If he had implemented the same strategy in Kaifeng Mansion, Weihui Mansion would have been sent to the cold palace, and he and many businessmen had invested so much money in Weihui Mansion, and at the same time, he had not opened overseas markets, so he did not need to produce so many goods.
How can there be a reason to cut yourself with a knife.
In other words, it is in his interest to emphasize agriculture and suppress business.
If the court doesn't ask for it, he will do the same.
But he is a businessman after all, he will not substitute himself for the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people, although he is forced to contract, but he must also make money.
However, the cake is so big, so the only way to do it is to swallow it all, just like that, you still want to run to share it, do you want to order Bilian.
On the facts, this is also the best way to restrict business, if he represents the government, it is state-run, and there is power and money in his hands, who can compete with him, he can compete with him as big as he wants, if he doesn't develop, then he can't develop, he can develop whatever he wants.
His personal development is not indicative of business development.
These two concepts.
But you can't be so ugly.
It's going to have to be done step by step.
Therefore, after he has determined the system, he will post a notice that anyone with Kaifeng peasant nationality who has no land at home, or less than three acres, can come to register, and I will try my best to help you find a job.
Over there, he really contacted Zhao Qinghe and them, if you need to hire farmers, you can also come to me.
However, with his toes, he could think of Zhao Qinghe, where they needed to hire them, and he also had to recover some land from the tenant farmers, because the cost of raising farmers has become higher now.
This is very reasonable, since the peasants and merchants are strictly regulated, the peasants cannot engage in business or work, but they have no land, and if they do not find a way to settle them, they will either starve to death or revolt.
After this notice was posted, there were countless people who came to register, all with tears in their eyes, and after so many years of annexation, they had very little land in their hands.
At this time, there were already many scholars in Kaifeng Mansion, including some well-known people, who were all surprised to see Guo Dan doing this.
No wise official would do that.
It's very simple, you can't afford it!
The government office.
"Nephew, where's our business status?"
Zhou Feng and Cao Da felt that they had been deceived, and after working for a long time, Zhao Qinghe and their restaurants were opened, but neither he nor Cao Da had yet obtained business citizenship.
Guo smiled lightly: "Don't you two look in the mirror?" β
Zhou Feng and Cao Da suddenly looked angry.
"What do you mean by this?" Cao Da said unhappily.
Guo Dan said: "What I mean is very simple, what level of businessmen are the two, they have heads and faces, can they go to that small market to grab food from those small traders?" I've always told you to zoom in a little bit. β
Zhou Feng was really angry and funny when he heard it, and said: "The market pattern is small, and it can't be compared with Weihui Mansion, but there are many guests." β
"There are a lot of customers at present, but the question is how many seats can you sit in this restaurant?"
"It depends on how much land you give us."
"The land I have given you is very large, but it is not in the market."
"Where's that?"
"Academy."
Guo smiled lightly: "You know how big the academy is that our Tooth Guild will build, there will be many restaurants and tea shops in it, and you must be the largest there." You should have a clear understanding of who are the people who go to our college, such as your children, do your children go to the pub? It is much more profitable than opening in the bazaar, and in the future, the center of Kaifeng Mansion will not be in the bazaar, but in the academy. β
Zhou Feng and Cao Da glanced at each other, and suddenly turned their anger into joy.
They came to Kaifeng to open the fat of the private college, and it was naturally better to open it in the college than to open it in the market.
Guo Dan said: "I will send you a construction plan at that time, and the only thing you have to do is to prepare the money." β
Zhou Feng said: "This saves another construction cost for the virtuous nephew." β
Guo Dan said: "I only account for 30% of the college, and I account for 70% of the tooth industry. β
At this moment, an entourage walked in, "Uncle, Grandpa Gao invites you to go to the backyard." β
Zhou Feng and Cao Da immediately got up and said goodbye.
Guo Dan asked his entourage to send them away, and he went to the backyard, and when he came to the backyard, he saw that Dong Ping was also there, and his face was very respectful.
"What's the matter?" Guo Dan asked slightly worriedly.
Dong Ping said: "Today, Jiang Yinglan and Huang Daxiao came to me and asked me to strictly investigate the people who picked quarrels and provoked trouble a few days ago in accordance with the law. β
Guo Dan was happy when he heard it, "Are they going to jump off the wall in a hurry?" β
"It's not that simple."
Dong Ping said: "They have gone to the court, took the initiative to admit their mistakes in the whole matter, and pleaded guilty to the court, and at the same time they asked us to be held accountable according to the law, whether it is the people who besiege the government office, or the people who beat people, snatch waterwheels, and plough cattle." β
Gao Shang said: "Guo Dan, the matter has come to this point, and the pacification envoy must strictly investigate this matter in accordance with the law, otherwise, he will be guilty of dereliction of duty." β
Dong Ping nodded.
He must not shield Guo Dan, he is also here to restrict Guo Dan, since the supervision of the imperial history requires a strict investigation in accordance with the law, if he does not do this, he will definitely be impeached, although Huang Daxiao has said that he will prevent them from investigating, but he has taken the initiative to admit his mistakes, and the words he said before will naturally be invalid.
Guo Dan sneered: "He's going to fight with me!" β
Gao Shang smiled and said: "You think too much about this, he just has a verbal fault, he did not instigate others to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and there is a reason for this, it is because you closed the store first that he said those words." At that time, there will definitely be many people in the court to help them speak, and he will take the initiative to admit his mistakes, and I don't think the court will punish him much. β
Dong Ping said: "And besieging the government office, this crime can be big or small, since he has informed the imperial court, then we can't fail to investigate this matter, but if we want to investigate, we must not turn a blind eye to the matter of beating people and seizing other people's ploughing cattle and waterwheels." β
"Understood." Guo Dan nodded and said: "Then check, I'm a good citizen, this matter has nothing to do with me, it's all done by those Diao people." β
They are used to Guo Dan's Dafa of throwing the pot, and since you are so crisp in this pot, it is inconvenient for them to say more, so they got up and left.
As soon as they left, Aunt Xu entered the back hall.
Guo Dan smiled bitterly: "The laymen have heard it." β
Aunt Xu nodded.
Guo Dan snorted: "I can't play this trick, so I want to use the law to control me, it can be seen that they have reached the point of exhaustion, and they want to fight to the death with me." β
Aunt Xu shook her head and said, "I don't think things are so simple. β
Guo Dan frowned and said, "How can the layman say this?" β
Aunt Xu said: "After the last battle, Huang Daxiao and Jiang Yinglan have been swept away, no one will listen to them anymore, the situation is very unfavorable for them, I thought that they would not stay here, but if this case is strictly investigated, the situation will change greatly."
But anyone who is a thief with a weak heart will fear them, whether it is a gentry, a landlord, a merchant, or a pauper, even if the result has nothing to do with you, they will be the greatest beneficiary. After this incident, I don't think anyone in Kaifeng Mansion dares to underestimate them anymore. The situation may be much better than when they first arrived in Kaifeng Mansion. β
"I'm ......!" Guo Dan couldn't help but suddenly realize, if it weren't for Aunt Xu, who was in front of her, it was estimated that what she said later would be *****, and said: "Their move is really ruthless, I thought they fought with seven wounds, and they dared to return my majestic fist." β
Aunt Xu was curious: "What is the Seven Wounds Fist?" β
"It's a kind of kung fu that harms others and doesn't benefit oneself."
"Is there such a thing in the world?"
"This.... That's not the point. β
Guo Dan really convinced Aunt Xu, but if she didn't understand, she would definitely ask clearly, no matter what they were talking about. And said: "In other words, as long as the case is reviewed, then they are the winners?" β
Aunt Xu nodded without hesitation.
As long as this case is investigated, who dares not to take them seriously.
The prestige of officials will suppress Guo Dan.
This is the struggle for power.
In the future, everyone will have to take care of Huang Daxiao and Jiang Yinglan.
"I've fought with them before, Jiang Yinglan is a straight intestine, there are not so many curves, and Huang Daxiao has never shown such wisdom." Guo Dan wondered.
"It's not something they came up with."
Aunt Xu said.
Guo Dan was surprised: "Could it be that they moved in to rescue the soldiers?" β
Aunt Xu smiled: "You helped them invite them." β
"Me?"
Guo Dan recalled and said, "I still have this kind of kindness, why don't I remember." β
Aunt Xu said: "Private college." β
Guo Danwu was confused.
Aunt Xu said: "I once told you that when you concentrate your private academy in Kaifeng Mansion, then all the smart people in the world will come here, including Huang Daxiao's teacher, Su Xu." β
"Su Xu?"
Guo Dan was stunned.
Aunt Xu said: "This person used to be a waiter in Nanjing's Ministry of Rites, not only learned, but also scheming, well versed in the way of officialdom, and later he resigned to open a academy in the people, and has a very high reputation in Nanjing, even Shen Shoufu saw him, but also had to give three points, and many ministers in the court were his protΓ©gΓ©s. β
"That's not a small deal!" Guo Dan muttered, and then smiled: "Fortunately, I took precautions and invited lay people to come here to help." β
Aunt Xu was very surprised when she heard the first half of the sentence, and even you thought of this, it was really impeccable, but when she heard the second half of the sentence, she couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly.
Guo Dan said seriously: "I'm not afraid that he will find out about me, but I don't want them to be too strong here." β
Aunt Xu pondered for a while and said, "I think the trial system you have formulated in Weihui Mansion is very good, allowing scholars, gentry and guards to check and balance each other. β
Guo Dan said: "I have also thought about this, but the situation on both sides is different, at that time, the scholars of Weihui Mansion supported me, and the gentry and scholars here were all against me, and besides, I can't develop business here, and I don't have enough control over them." β
"Some changes can be made."
"For example?"
Aunt Xu said with a smile: "For example, let Su Xu and them be the gentry, in front of them, Huang Daxiao and Jiang Yinglan have no prestige at all, they can only obey their orders." β
