Chapter 491: Seeing Flowers in the Mist
Guo Dan, who had just arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, immediately threw himself into work without the slightest stop, and it was very natural, and it was not that he deliberately shaped himself into a workaholic.
This is all because he was in too much of a hurry last time, resulting in too many things to wait for him to deal with.
Fortunately, he has been mentally prepared for this, and many things are expected.
At this time, it was already the third watch.
Kaifeng Mansion, which had been noisy for a day, finally gradually quieted down, after all, Kaifeng Mansion was curfew, unlike Weihui Mansion, which was more lively at night.
After a day of rushing, Ruth Guo Dan did not rest early, but sat in the hall, facing the candles, flipping through the accounts about Kaifeng Mansion sent not long ago.
For Guo Dan, this is a deal in the end, profit and loss are the most important, and he runs the college mainly to make money.
The current accounts are quite beautiful.
It's even better than Guo Dan expected.
At present, most of the total expenditure of Kaifeng Prefecture is used for river construction and environmental construction.
Moreover, more than half of this military expenditure is also included in it, and Guo Dan mobilized many military households to participate in the construction of this river.
But his income is multiplying.
The transportation was monopolized by Guo Dan, and so many big projects were carried out together, which shows how big the profits are, and it is no wonder that Li Tong can't get out of here.
The projects were all contracted by the construction team invested by Guo Dan, including the construction of Yinuo University.
In addition, the increase in foreigners has led to the increasing prosperity of the service industry, and most of the service industry is controlled by Guo Dan and King Zhou.
In fact, it is basically over, in the past, Kaifeng Mansion consumed, how much money can be had, but now it is incredible, a large number of literati gather here, and this consumption is getting higher and higher day by day.
And King Zhou's part of the profits had to be taken away by Guo Dan with a contract tax.
Guo Dan also has a monopoly on the mining industry and the supply of goods here.
A large number of outsiders come here and need to buy everything, which greatly stimulates consumption.
In Kaifeng alone, this surplus has been as high as 200,000 taels.
Of course, this is mainly because many colleges were built together, which led to Guo Dan's profits skyrocketing, but it is impossible to maintain such a high level all the time.
It's a matter of planning!
Guo Dan plans to relocate a part of the population to reduce the food pressure on these three provinces.
Because these three prefectures do not afford commercial production, and arable land no longer needs such a large population, the population must be adjusted.
Secondly, it is the college economy, which is essentially a consumer economy, using the college to attract more wealthy people here and promote economic development.
In the end, Guo Dan has never disclosed this, but he has been preparing for it.
That's the R&D economy.
Brother is not engaged in business here, brother is engaged in commercial research and development here.
At that time, Guo Dan will make adjustments, and the research and development of Weihui Mansion will also be put here, and he will make money with inventions and creations.
Because the colleges are concentrated here, and the talents are also concentrated here, there is no reason to put the R&D team in another place, and Weihui Mansion will only be responsible for production in the future.
It is also a coincidence that this Kaifeng is the origin of Chinese civilization, and Chinese civilization will be reborn here again.
Early the next morning, Guo Dan, accompanied by Chen Hao, Song Hui and other wealthy businessmen, went to Yinuo School to inspect, and the work was really arranged very secretly.
Out of the urban area, the eyes are really green, everywhere is the fragrance of birds and flowers, and the willows are still there.
And you can see many gardeners working hard everywhere.
At that time, in order to promote employment and give everyone a bite to eat, Guo Dan also invested a lot of money in the environment, planting trees and grass everywhere, in fact, as far as the current environment is concerned, this kind of place where there is no food is also overgrown with weeds, and many places send people to prune and prune, or plant more beautiful plants.
After walking for a long time, I finally came to Yinuo Academy.
"Wow! You're really not slow to build! ”
Guo Dan, who had just gotten off the carriage, couldn't help but exclaim when he looked at Yinuo Academy, which had already begun to see the scale.
It was faster than he had imagined.
Chen Hao hurriedly said: "Brother Guo, as for the main reason, I have already mentioned to you yesterday, that is, this manpower is relatively sufficient, as long as the materials can be supplied, it will be built very quickly." For Yinuo Academy, we use brick and wood as the main raw materials, and do not favor one or the other, so that we can not only reduce the demand for some beams and columns, but also increase the amount of windows, and the materials can also be supplied. ”
Chen Ping's construction team has rich experience, in the past two years, they have built everything, and they are also very familiar with all kinds of raw materials.
If the building is very large, some large logs will be difficult to find, and it may have to be transported from Jiangnan, so in this case, try to use bricks to make up for it.
Song Hui said suddenly: "Captain Guo, in fact, it can be faster, if you hand over all the brick-making workshops to me, instead of letting Kuang Fei be in charge of some of them." ”
Guo Dan said unabashedly: "Only with competition will there be progress, and besides, Weihui Mansion is you, and Kaifeng Mansion is also you, so no matter what I do then, I have to make you happy first, otherwise, I can only build a grass shed." ”
Song Hui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Captain Guo said with a smile, we have been working together for many days, my person, Captain Guo should be very clear." ”
Guo smiled lightly: "This favor is a favor, of course I am willing to cooperate with you all the time, after all, we are so compatible, but this business is a sale, I still hope to see better and cheaper bricks and tiles, if you can always be at the top, then our cooperation will always be maintained." ”
"Definitely, definitely."
Song Hui nodded again and again, and promised, "I will never disappoint Captain Guo." ”
That being said, he was actually doubling the pressure.
He originally thought that Guo Dan would always support himself in terms of bricks and tiles, because as far as the current businessmen are concerned, they are more willing to do business with acquaintances, and they may become relatives if they do it, but Guo Dan gave one-third of the bricks and tiles to a businessman named Kuang Fei this time.
And this Kuang Fei was originally just the owner of a small workshop, and he couldn't afford such a big project at all, but Guo Dan saw that his bricks were very good, so he directly paid to help him up, which is the kind of thing that doesn't ask for anything in return.
Song Hui didn't think much about it.
Is there something you don't like about me?
The reason is very simple, Kaifeng Mansion can only be monopolized by Guo Dan, not by others.
"Wang ---!"
Suddenly, he heard a dog barking, Guo Dan looked down, and saw an old local dog gnawing on a very complete chicken leg on the side.
Everyone was stunned, whose dog was treated so well?
Hey? This dog is a little familiar!
Guo Dan suddenly raised his head and looked around, and suddenly saw a bald old man sitting in a corner in front of the left.
Why is he here?
Guo Dan felt curious, stepped forward, turned his head to look, and saw the old man holding a chicken leg in one hand and gnawing on it, and holding a picture album of five guns in the other, which was very interesting.
This album is from the five guns of Wei Hui Mansion, so you can imagine what is painted on it.
He's not going to be in... Wow! This crazy old man is disgusting.
Guo Dan almost didn't spit it out, took two steps back silently, and then walked forward.
Suddenly, a silver light flashed, and a few more clanging sounds were heard.
Guo Dan looked down and saw that it was a tael of silver.
"No need to look for it!"
Only an old voice could be heard.
Guo Dan looked back, only to see the old man stand up, put the album in his arms, pat his buttocks, call back the old dog, and go south.
The young and vigorous Chen Hao was immediately angry, who is my brother Guo, who are you humiliating with these two pieces of silver, I was about to ask someone to take down the old man, but was stopped by Guo Dan.
I only heard Guo smile lightly: "This is the least interest I have ever received." ”
So saying, he walked forward, and as for the tael of silver, he would not pick it up, it was really dirty.
After Guo Dan entered Deyinuo Academy, the old man suddenly glanced back, then turned around and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy." He looked up at Yinuo Academy again, "But this academy is a bit interesting." ”
And today, Aunt Xu didn't come here with Guo Dan, she was sitting with an old man in a pavilion two or three miles away from Yinuo Academy.
This old man is none other than Li Shizhen.
"I can't imagine that Sebo is faster than us."
"There's no way, that crazy old man has very sharp legs and feet, and he has to hurry day and night, alas..."
Li Shizhen shook his head a little tiredly, and said, "It seems that you guessed right, that crazy old man really came for Guo Dan." Saying that, he was very curious: "Feng'er, what is the magic of this Guo Dan, who can actually attract Xu Wenchang?" ”
Aunt Xu's eyes fluttered, and she said with a smile: "Regarding this point, Feng'er is also difficult to understand, if Shi Bo wants to know, why not find out in person." ”
Li Shizhen was slightly stunned and said, "You seem to have something to say." ”
Aunt Xu said: "Guo Dan and Zhou Wangfu will cooperate to open a medical school, and it is more than enough to be a dean with the talent of Shibo." ”
Li Shizhen waved his hand again and again: "I'm not interested in this. ”
Aunt Xu said: "Maybe Shibo will change his mind after seeing Guo Dan." ”
Li Shizhen shook his head and said: "This is impossible, the old man is used to this idle cloud and wild crane-like life when he returns to Beijing, and he does not want to be restrained." ”
Aunt Xu smiled: "This is the magic of Guo Dan. ”
Li Shizhen glanced at her suspiciously, stroked her beard and groaned.
......
"Master! Guo Dan made a move! ”
Li Ming quickly walked into the back hall, and before this person could see it clearly, he said in a hurried tone, and after finishing speaking, he found that Tan Xiu was also there, and hurriedly bowed again.
"So fast?"
Su Xu was slightly startled, and thought to himself, this Kaifeng Mansion that Guo Dan only arrived in yesterday made a move today, could it be that he had expected it a long time ago, so he had already made plans.
This old man really deserves to be on the battlefield for a long time, so he reacted immediately and asked, "What trick did he play?" ”
Li Ming just opened his mouth, but then closed it again, and was stunned for a while.
Su Xu said: "You are talking! ”
"It's... The disciple didn't know what to say. Li Ming was embarrassed, and turned around on a piece of paper: "This is the notice that the apprentice just copied from the government office, and I also ask the master to take a look." ”
I can't dictate, what kind of trick is this?
Su Xu took the piece of paper very curiously, opened it to look at it, and exclaimed, "Destroy the demon Guo Dan?" ”
When Tan Xiu heard this, he was taken aback, and when he turned his head, the title made the two old men look like flowers in a fog.
Su Xu raised his head and asked, "Are you sure this is Guo Dan's poster?" ”
Li Ming said: "The apprentice has repeatedly confirmed that there will be no mistakes, and the people surrounding the government are about to scold." ”
Su Xu was even more puzzled when he listened, "What are they scolding?" ”
Guo Dan scolded himself as a demon, what else did they scold?
It should be applauded.
Li Ming sneered: "Shigong will know if he has seen it. ”
Before Su Xu could see it, he heard the talk of cultivation: "This kid really doesn't know the height of the sky, and there is no one in his eyes." ”
Su Xu was taken aback, what could make such a cultivated person as Tan Xiu say such words, and when he looked down, he realized that the content had nothing to do with the title, and when he saw that Yinuo Academy of Scholars specially recruited graduates from Nanjing Academy, he couldn't help but be angry, "He is really killing himself!" ”
