Chapter 298: Don't Take Yourself Seriously
After the "contract system" has been determined, the natural next step is to promulgate and enforce it.
And the cause is in Dashu Village, Xinxiang County, so naturally you have to start there.
Guo Dan also personally followed Huang and Xu Erlao to Dashu Village.
In the ancestral hall of Dashu Village, I saw Huang and Xu Erlao sitting with a group of older men, while the young men were crowded behind them, and as for the women, they could only stand outside the ancestral hall.
"Huang Lao, do you mean that those two ** can continue to work outside?"
A villager looked at Huang Lao in surprise.
"Yes."
Huang Lao nodded, sighed and said: "There is no way for the two of them, if they don't go out to work, their family may starve to death, this God has the virtue of a good life, we can't ignore life, Wen Yan and I can't bear to see this tragedy happen in our Dashu Village." ”
Xu Lao added: "These years have been drought every year, the crops have not been harvested, and it is not easy for everyone to live, after I discussed with Brother Huang, I feel that women should also be allowed to go out to work, subsidize the family, and live a good life first." ”
When the villagers heard this, they looked at each other.
"Humph! What is for food, I see that the two of them are thinking about men, the two women went to Ji County, and worked with a group of men, what is the difference between this and the women in the Qinglou, oops, I feel disgusting when I think about it, even if they carry a sedan chair and beg me to go, I won't go. ”
I saw a plain-looking woman, standing aside and dancing and shouting.
Another elderly man said: "This precedent can't be opened, it will ruin the reputation of my Dashu Village, and then the neighbors will laugh at our Dashu Village." ”
Huang Lao pressed his hand and said: "Don't get excited, whether you go or not depends on yourself, but the patriarchal law no longer restricts you." ”
The woman shouted at the crowd again, "This life is small, Joan of Arc is great, and whoever goes over there will be **." ”
Another woman stood up and said, "Sister Zeng is right, the women of our Dashu Village would rather starve to death than spoil the Joan of Arc of our Dashu Village." ”
The rest of the people also whispered and nodded, as if they strongly agreed with what the two women had said.
These women have never set foot in Dashu Village, and since they were young, they have been indoctrinated with the idea of the Three Principles and the Five Constants, and their thinking is very ignorant.
Huang Lao turned his head and looked at Guo Dan who was standing in the corner, as if to say, you also saw it, it's not that I'm encouraging them not to go, it's that they themselves are unwilling.
Guo Dan just nodded with a smile, indicating that he understood very much.
Wu Guansheng smiled and said, "Guo Dan, it seems that your wishful thinking is about to come to naught." ”
Guo Dan said: "It's strange." ”
Wu Guansheng was stunned for a moment, and then snorted: "What's so strange, I think other townships will be like this, you can't do it at all." ”
Guo Dan just smiled at this.
Listen to the old man Huang again: "Okay, okay, the old man has already said, whether you go or not, it depends on you, don't shout here if you don't go, in the past, we encountered disasters in Dashu Village, and many villagers were forced to leave here and go out to find a livelihood, the old man once again affirmed that this patriarchal law will no longer restrict you from going out to work, and will also help you." One more thing is about paying taxes..... ”
He also told the villagers about the tax reform.
Wu Guansheng listened to this Huang Lao who had always emphasized that those benefits were earned by himself, and almost didn't mention a word to Guo Dan, and said in a low voice: "Guo Dan, they all put credit on themselves, but they don't say a word about you." ”
"It doesn't matter."
Guo smiled lightly: "Convincing people with virtue is what they are good at, I still like to convince people with money, this kind of reputation is a burden for me, after all, I am a businessman, not a gentleman." ”
Suddenly, a man said: "In other words, if we go to work, we don't have to pay taxes?" ”
Huang Lao nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, your taxes will be borne by the employer, and this will be written in the contract, if you can't make money, you don't even have to pay taxes." ”
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, and they only felt that they were dreaming.
At this time, Chen Xusheng squeezed through the crowd, came to Guo Dan's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Guo Dan nodded, then quietly came to Huang Lao's side, and whispered: "Huang Lao, I'm bothering you here, I have something to do when I go back to the county seat." ”
"Okay, there you go."
"Farewell."
Out of Dashu Village, Guo Dan took a carriage and went directly to the government office in Xinxiang County.
I saw that in the palace, there were several scholars in Confucian shirts.
When the scholars saw Guo Dan coming, one of them asked, "Are you Guo Tongsheng?" ”
It's sarcastic.
"Yes." Guo Dan nodded and smiled: "You should be that Chen Xiucai, right?" ”
The scholar raised his head and said, "It's right down there." ”
Xiucai is in front of Tong Sheng, can he not be arrogant.
Guo smiled lightly: "I heard that you are unwilling to enter the litigation court, why is this?" ”
Chen Xiucai said: "Let me ask you, did you let us enter the court because we had spoken for you?" ”
Guo Dan asked rhetorically, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”
In fact, many scholars and scholars who opposed Guo Dan had already gone to Zhangde Mansion or Kaifeng Mansion because they could not live in an area managed by merchants.
They felt it was humiliating.
Most of the scholars who stayed behind supported Guo Dan, and only a few were in order to continue to fight against Guo Dan, and the litigation court was Guo Dan responsible for selecting candidates, and he was also very simple, whoever supported him at that time, he let these scholars enter the litigation court.
Chen Xiucai said: "We were speaking for you at the time, but we were talking about things, we didn't want Weihui Mansion to be ruined, and we didn't want the people of Weihui Mansion to live in hunger and cold, and what those big landlords did, we felt very disappointed, not to beg you, to get benefits from you, if you are ......." ”
Without waiting for him to finish, Guo Dan said: "What if you didn't support it at that time?" ”
Chen Xiucai looked at Guo Dan in astonishment.
Guo smiled lightly: "I didn't let you support me, among the scholars in Weihui Mansion, you are only a small part, you don't support it, I can succeed, don't think too important about yourself, you are nothing in my eyes, I can't repay you, if someone on the street shouts, 'Guo Dan is the first handsome in the world', then I have to give him dozens of taels as a reward, I'm not so stupid, you don't have to be sentimental." ”
A few scholars said goodbye to Guo lightly, their faces flushed.
Chen Xiucai's white face, as red as a monkey's buttocks, said excitedly: "Then why did you name us to enter the litigation court?" ”
Guo Dan said: "Of course, because you have supported me, generally speaking, it is impossible for a scholar like you to support a businessman, although your support is irrelevant to me, but at least it can prove that you are still sensible, can be clear about public and private, not afraid of power, not moved by interests."
And what the litigant asks for is integrity, justice, and fairness, I just think you are suitable, and this is the only reason, if you feel that you are not competent, then of course I will not force you, the sun will rise as usual without anyone, you think about it yourself, I still have something to do, so I will be out of company first. ”
With that, he got up and left the palace.
Chen Xiucai and the others looked at each other.
Chen Xusheng, who stayed, immediately shouted: "You guys give a word, if you don't want to, you will leave, I knew that he meant this, so I wouldn't run around for a few of you, it's really unreasonable." ”
Chen Xiucai glanced at Chen Xusheng and snorted, "We will never let all the justice of Weihui Mansion fall into the hands of your Jinyi Wei. ”
Chen Xusheng rolled his eyes, threw the contract on the table, and then walked out.
Guo Dancai is reluctant to put his energy into this, he just sets the rules, the world is bustling for profit, the world is bustling for profit, his "contract system" is born from the total interest, as long as the interest appears, the system will naturally be popularized.
After coming out of the government, he went to the official kiln in Xinxiang County, and now the porcelain that should have been paid by this official kiln has been converted into a tax, and the tax has been contracted by Guo Dan, this official kiln naturally belongs to Guo Dan, and now Guo Dan has rented this official kiln to Duan Changcun.
And it has been expanded tenfold and has a dedicated dock.
After Guo Dan came here, he saw that there were already some craftsmen busy here.
"How?"
Guo Dan asked Duan Changcun.
Duan Changcun nodded and said: "This is an official kiln, so naturally it will not be bad, and the porcelain clay is also relatively rich, but it is still not as good as Ruzhou." ”
This Henan is a state of eight provinces, and this state is Ruzhou, and the porcelain of Ruzhou is very famous.
Guo Dan smiled: "I don't think so. ”
Duan Changcun was surprised and said, "Could it be that the virtuous nephew still knows how to burn porcelain?" ”
"I've never even been in a porcelain kiln." Guo Dan shook his head and said.
Duan Changcun looked at Guo Dan suspiciously.
You don't understand, you're still blind.
Guo smiled lightly: "Although I don't know how to burn porcelain, I know how to do business, you have two advantages, which Ruzhou does not have." ”
Duan Changcun hurriedly asked, "Which two advantages?" ”
Guo said with a smile: "The first advantage is Weihui Mansion, once the workshops are concentrated here, then the demand for containers will be huge, which has given you a very good foundation, you can easily get a large number of orders, and have enough capital to develop more exquisite porcelain." However, these goods will be shipped to all parts of the country, then your porcelain will also go to all parts of the country, as long as it is very distinctive, then your porcelain will naturally be famous throughout the country. ”
Duan Changcun nodded, of course he also thought of this, so he did not hesitate to win the largest porcelain kiln in Weihui Mansion, and said, "What about the second advantage?" ”
Guo Dan said: "It's the five guns, as I said, as long as you do it very distinctively, your porcelain will be famous all over the country, because you have a geographical advantage, and the painting of the five guns is a unique painting, if you can integrate the painting of the five guns into your porcelain, then your porcelain will also become unique, for example, if you make the Spring Palace painting on the porcelain, I dare to guarantee that all the Qinglou will buy your porcelain." ”
Duan Changcun's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Guo smiled lightly: "In addition, there are some Francois women in Luwang, if you integrate their paintings into porcelain and then sell them to Franco, I think they will feel more intimate." ”
"Wonderful! Wonderful! ”
Duan Changcun said excitedly: "This idea of virtuous nephew is really wonderful! ”
At this time, a middle-aged man came to Duan Changcun's side and said, "Master, there are a few women over there who have heard that we are recruiting cooks here, so they want to come to us to do things." ”
Duan Changcun said impatiently: "You can just do this yourself, don't you see that I am talking to Guo Xian's nephew now, I am really getting more and more ignorant." ”
But Wu Guansheng, who was beside Guo Dan, looked at the three women in their thirties in the distance in shock, with shock on his face.
What about Joan of Arc?
