Chapter 733: What Am I?
"Drive...!"
"Drive...!"
Guo Dan, Aunt Xu, and Yang Feixu took a team of guards and rushed out of the south gate and went straight to Henan Road.
After meeting Wanli, Guo Dan knew that he had to come forward.
The reason is simple.
It is...... People who pick the door like the fat house take the initiative to ask him for help, which shows that there is indeed a problem with the country's finances.
And so it is.
The foundation left by Zhang Juzheng to Wanli is still relatively thin, and it is completely incomparable with the "Heshen gift package" that Qianlong left to Jiajing.
In fact, his changes have not been completely completed, and a whip law is mainly implemented in the Jiangnan region, and there are many areas where a whip law has not been implemented.
Who was hurt the most in the whole crisis?
Not conservatives, not reformists, not even their imperialist combination.
It's the country and the people.
It's like two big men fighting in a small dilapidated house, and whoever wins and who loses, regardless of who wins, the furniture and children in the house will definitely be hurt to some extent.
At that time, in order to no longer give Guo Dan a chance, the conservatives gave great aid to various disaster areas at any cost, and all of this aid was borrowed from the surrounding state capitals, but the result was that the money was spent, and Guo Dan became a hero, which was really embarrassing.
Now that the surrounding state capitals are also in crisis, they demand tax deductions, otherwise, the government will be too tight.
The key is that the Guide Mansion has not yet recovered, and the people of the Guide Mansion were infected by the people of Weihui Mansion before, and they were also making trouble, which made it even worse.
There is no food in the area.
The household department was also overwhelmed by this crisis, and the Jiangnan area was also unable to rescue, so it was really impossible to withdraw food to continue the rescue of Guide for the time being.
Shen Shixing and they really had no choice, so they took the account book and told Wanli that if they demolished the east wall and made up the west wall, it would make up for the collapse of the country.
This country belongs to the Zhu family, Wanli has no choice, the key is that he also knows that this crisis is caused by Guo Dan, judging from the current situation, he doesn't seem to have lost any money, so he also promised to let Guo Dan help.
......
Guo Dan wore the stars and the moon, hurried all night, and rushed to Weihui Mansion in a few days.
"Nephew Guo Xian, you can be regarded as here."
"Virtuous nephew! We're in a bad place this time. ”
......
When Zhou Feng and Cao Da saw Guo Dan, they immediately began to cry and sell miserably.
"Stop."
Guo Dan raised his hand and said, "You are just blind from crying, and I can't give you any benefits." Do you know what the tax exemption of Weihui Mansion is exchanged for? ”
All the wealthy businessmen looked at Guo Dan blankly.
"It's in exchange for saving the Guide Mansion."
Guo Dan said: "Do you think those cabinet ministers are stupid, don't they know how much we need Weihui Mansion, if I don't promise to save Guide Mansion, how can they easily agree to return the four mansions to me, and exempt so many taxes, I still want to ask you to take some money to return to the De Mansion." ”
Aunt Xu glanced at Guo Dan and silently praised it, this lie is really smooth!
"It turns out that the virtuous nephew came this time to save the Guide Mansion?" Zhou Feng was surprised.
Guo Dan nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Oops! We really don't know this, get out of the way quickly, don't delay Guo Xian's nephew's business, Xian's nephew, go quickly. ”
"Wow! You businessmen are .......! ”
"You're a businessman, too."
Cao Da muttered quietly.
"What? I'm a businessman? ”
Guo Dan took out a token made of pure gold from his arms.
At first glance, you can tell that it is from the hand of Wanli.
There are no bargains around the fat house.
Zhou Feng and the others fixed their eyes and knelt down together, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Guo Dan tidied up his clothes, strode forward from the kneeling crowd, suddenly, he paused slightly, and glanced back: "Don't always be called Guo Xian's nephew Guo Xian's nephew, I have been cheap for so long, I should be content, and I will be called Guo Consultant in the future." ”
With that, he strode forward majestically.
Just kidding, this is the only gain from his trip, which is to show the spirit of a king, and he must firmly grasp it.
Aunt Xu and Yang Feixu glanced at each other, both pursed their lips and smiled, and then followed quickly.
When they had walked a long way, Zhou Feng and the others stood up.
"Tut-tut, this Guo Dan has changed!"
"When you become an official, can you stay the same?"
"What kind of official, isn't he just a stinky consultant, what a spirit."
......
"Brother Guo!"
"Uncle!"
As soon as he came to the gate of the old Lu Wangfu, Chen Chen and Cao Xiaodong greeted him.
"Don't be frightened."
Guo asked with a smile.
Chen Chen said: "I was really frightened at that time, we hid at home and didn't dare to go out. ”
Cao Xiaodong also nodded with palpitations.
"This is also a very valuable experience for you, and after this incident, I am more relieved to hand over this place to the two of you."
Guo Dan patted Cao Xiaodong's head and asked again, "Are all the materials I asked you to prepare?" ”
"It's all ready."
"Very well, let's go in and talk."
When I came to my own small courtyard, I saw that it was very clean and exactly the same as before.
"They didn't do any sabotage?"
Guo Dan asked casually.
Chen Chen hurriedly said: "Gonggong Ji is watching, they don't dare to mess around." ”
Guo Dan asked, "What about Gonggong Ji?" ”
Chen Chen replied: "Gonggong Ji should be busy in his rouge workshop now, and now everyone is still recovering, and there are many things to arrange." ”
This eunuch is really addicted to trading. Guo Dan picked up the information on the table again, and asked, "What is the current situation in Sifu?" ”
Chen Chen immediately replied: "Among the four mansions now, it is our Weihui Mansion that has recovered the fastest, and we don't need to buy food from outside this year, although the Guide Mansion and Huaiqing Mansion have recovered relatively slowly, they haven't lost too much before."
At present, only Kaifeng Mansion has not recovered for the time being, many students have returned, and many colleges have been closed, and less than 30% of our business there has resumed business. ”
Guo Dan frowned with a hint of sadness, and asked: "Weihui Mansion doesn't need to import grain, it seems that the cultivation of pumpkin is very successful." ”
Cao Xiaodong said excitedly: "Yes, in this crisis, the agriculture of the four prefectures has not been affected, and now is the time for the harvest of pumpkins, the yield of pumpkins per mu is at least three times that of corn, and some of the land is even five times, and we have also opened up many barren emperors this time, although we have suffered floods, but our grain production has increased by about thirty percent." ”
Chen Chen said: "But the people of our Weihui Mansion don't like to eat sweet melons, they still like to eat white noodles." ”
"Nonsense, I also like to eat white noodles."
Guo Dan rolled his eyes.
"Guo Xian's nephew, Guo Advisor."
At this time, I saw Zhou Feng panting and walking in, and said, "Consultant Guo, you are walking happily, and you can't catch up." ”
Guo Dan closed the information, put it on the table, and said: "Zhou Yuanwai, I will talk to you later, you know my habits, I am used to understanding clearly before holding a meeting." ”
"I know, I know, but there's one thing I want to talk to you about first."
"What's the matter?"
"Wait a minute."
Zhou Feng looked outside and said, "Hurry up and bring it in." ”
I saw the shopkeeper of Jin Yulou walking in with a small wooden box, and when the lid was opened, it turned out to be a wine bottle and a few wine glasses.
Guo Dan looked confused.
Zhou Feng personally poured a glass of wine for Guo Dan and said, "Consultant Guo, this is the latest wine brewed by my Jinyulou, you can taste it." ”
Guo Dan was very unhappy and said: "Zhou Yuanwai, what is my identity now, you Jinyulou brews new wine, you have to let me take the time to taste it." ”
Zhou Feng said angrily: "I know that you are now my Ming financial advisor, you can taste it first and see how it tastes?" ”
Guo Danhu glanced at Zhou Feng suspiciously, and said, "It won't be poisonous." ”
Zhou Feng was immediately furious, poured himself a cup directly, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "You can rest assured." ”
"I'm just kidding, can you be so serious?"
Guo Dan picked up the glass of wine and took a sip, huh? This tastes so familiar! Said: "Pumpkin wine? ”
Zhou Feng was shocked: "How do you know the wine made from this melon?" ”
It turned out that Guo Dan had instructed them to build a restaurant and try to study how to make the people accept this melon, and Zhou Feng thought of using melon to make wine at that time.
Guo Dan snorted: "Have you forgotten that I am from a tooth person, my tongue is known as the first tongue in the world, and this melon is made into wine, and it can't escape my first tongue in the world." ”
Chen Chen glanced at Guo Dan in a little surprise, and muttered to himself, the eldest lady is the real master of wine tasting, uncle... Uncle has always been a master of drunkenness.
As everyone knows, Guo Dan has drunk sweet potato wine before, although the taste is a little different, but there are also some similar places.
"Consultant Guo is really hidden!"
Zhou Feng believed it, this melon had just been successfully planted, how could Guo Dan have tasted melon wine before, and said: "Consultant Guo, do you think my melon wine is good to sell?" ”
Guo Dan groaned for a moment and said with a smile: "It must be a big seller." ”
"How?"
"Because I will soon revise the liquor tax law, but all wine made from sweet melon will be exempted from tax, even the contract tax will be exempted, and the wine made from grain will also add a grain loss deed tax."
Zhou Feng couldn't help but look overjoyed, and suddenly his eyes shook a few times, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that there was something ...... in the store." ”
Guo Dan nodded and smiled: "Let's go and get busy first." ”
"Unaccompanied, unaccompanied." Zhou Feng hurriedly walked out.
Chen Chen scratched his head and said, "Why is it strange today this week?" ”
Guo smiled lightly: "He went to buy pumpkins." You go and invite Liang Kui, Qin Dalong, and Chen Ping. ”
"Yes."
After they left, Guo Dan picked up the information on the table again and looked at it carefully.
After a while, Aunt Xu walked in, saw a pile of information on Guo Dan's desk, and said with a smile: "I really don't want to believe it, you can find the answer from these cold messages every time." ”
Guo smiled lightly: "Laymen can always ask the shameless questions of saints, and ask them so fresh and refined!" ”
As he spoke, he handed the information in his hand to Aunt Xu.
Aunt Xu took it and looked at it, "Coal and iron ore? ”
Guo Dan said: "I believe that the Guide Mansion that has completely collapsed should not need these." ”
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "I want to see you lose money once, but it's really difficult to go to the sky!" ”
Guo sighed: "But if I spend this time doing other business, I can make more money, which is a loss of money for me." ”
