Angry!

Panic!

Regret it!

Whether it is Huang Daxiao or those gentry, now they are really repentant.

They really didn't expect that Guo Dan would be so strict in implementing the national policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing business.

Their previous prediction was that Guo Dan would definitely still go against the yang and the yin, and try his best to promote business, because the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of business requires governance, which requires the accumulation of experience, and he is a businessman who knows how to govern.

However, the result is diametrically opposite, and what they are seeing now may be the strictest policy of pro-agriculture and anti-business since Taizu.

In fact, having said that, whether it is heavy agriculture and suppressing business, or emphasizing business and suppressing agriculture, as long as it is strict, those with vested interests will feel a lot of headaches.

The reason is very simple, if everyone plays under the rules and does not drill loopholes, then fighting is talent, diligence, hard work, although the starting point is different, but you can catch up through the acquired efforts, and feudal society is a hereditary system, is a hierarchy, this rule is not indiscriminate in nature, the two are obviously opposites.

"Then Guo Dan is arrogant and rude, fake public and private, the two adults can't sit idly by."

"That Guo Dan is just a small businessman, why dare to speak wildly to the two adults, even without even a trace of respect."

"Yes! I don't think Guo Dan took the two adults seriously. ”

....．

Back at the Zhao family's mansion, Zhao Qinghe and others put pressure on Huang Daxiao and Jiang Yinglan, even at the expense of sneering.

Huang Daxiao was also furious, feeling very shameless, and assured them: "Everyone, please rest assured, I will immediately go to the court and inform the court of everything that happened here, and I will never let Guo Dan do anything wrong." ”

Jiang Yinglan was silent.

Because of his original intention, he still hoped that Guo Dan could solve the crisis in Kaifeng Mansion and restrain the vassal king, this time he really didn't want to deal with Guo Dan, because everything that happened in Weihui Mansion changed his opinion of Guo Dan, and also changed his view of some things.

However, what happened here made him even more disappointed.

In fact, he was also angry with Guo Dan before, because Guo Dan actually went to the vassal king to cooperate, but now he also saw that Zhao Qinghe and these people were not much better than Guo Dan, and even worse than Guo Dan, they were not for morality, not for etiquette, purely for their own selfish interests.

Speaking of paying taxes, they sued the Zhou palace for occupying their land, but they did not pay taxes to the court before.

is not as good as Guo Dan, Guo Dan still bears the taxes of all the poor people in the end.

But even if it is played to the imperial court, there is a process in the middle.

And Guo Dan has already said that he has to rush back to take care of the pregnant woman, he will not wait, he will also do what he says.

On the second day he promulgated the rules of taxation, warning everyone that they must pay their taxes on time, and that if they delay without a valid reason, he will receive the corresponding benefits, and the interest must be accumulated in an incremental way.

It is calculated that if you delay the payment for half a year, the interest you pay will be equivalent to paying next year's tax.

On the same day, Guo Dan also began to target the mining industry, and he directly sent people to recover all the coal and iron mining in Kaifeng Prefecture.

He had already investigated this clearly, and Dong Ping's side had already deployed it in advance, and within a day, it would all be recovered.

Of course, the reason is that agriculture is still important and business is suppressed.

There is a way that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

If there is no good farming tools, it is difficult for this agriculture to flourish, and in order to replace the people with new agricultural tools for free, it is necessary to recover the coal and iron ore.

It looks a bit overbearing, but it's actually in line with the rules.

Because the imperial court has never stipulated that mining can be privatized, without the approval of the government, it is not allowed to open mines, then again, since the approval of the government is required, the government can of course withdraw the approval.

It can be seen from this that this coal and iron mine is not something that anyone can do, and it must be those big landlords and gentry, because they must first have the status and power to collude with the government in order to get these coal and iron mines, and at the same time, they must also have money, and now it takes a lot of capital to open a mine.

Not only that, Guo Dan also cracked down on smuggling and smuggling at the same time, and strictly restricted the entry and exit of caravans, all caravans entering and leaving must be approved by Guo Dan, as well as paying the tariffs stipulated by the state, once they are found, they will face very heavy fines, which further restricts the development of commerce.

Even Jiang Yinglan and they feel that it is a bit excessive, you are too ruthless, aren't you yourself a private tooth, you still kill your private teeth.

And the more serious the smuggling, the Weihui Mansion.

They can't figure out who Guo Dan is targeting now.

However, now that the smuggling of Weihui Mansion to Kaifeng Mansion has been stopped, the merchants of Weihui Mansion dare not go against Guo Dan, they heard that Guo Dan wants to crack down on smuggling in Kaifeng Mansion, and they dare not even buy a grain of rice from Kaifeng Mansion.

And the most smuggled to Weihui Mansion are those big landlords, which means that after this set of combination punches, it is actually the same group of people who are injured.

Zhao Qinghe: This is really the first time they have felt this kind of all-round blow.

Zhang Juzheng's reform is far less ruthless than Guo Dan.

This is no longer to say that their core interests are touched, but it is simply to kill them.

Zhao family compound.

"It's not okay to go on like this, or let's pay the tax first, and then we will get it back when the court's judgment comes down."

"Yes, now that we have to prepare for both."

......

Many gentry were a little stunned when they saw Guo Dan being so fierce.

Liang Yan suddenly stood up and said: "It's really unreasonable, this money is small, the face is big, he Guo Dan is not a son-in-law, and our parents and ancestors are all officials in the court, if we bow to Guo Dan, what face will we face the ancestors in the future." ”

One of the people beside him stood up, "Brother Liang is reasonable, we must not give in, let's just consume with Guo Dan, Huang Daxiao has been played in the imperial court, and the ministers of the DPRK and China will definitely support us." ”

Zhao Qinghe said suddenly: "In my opinion, Huang Daxiao and them may not be reliable!" ”

Liang Yan was surprised: "Brother Xian, are you also planning to give in to Guo Dan?" ”

Zhao Qinghe snorted: "How could I give in to a businessman, I mean, we can't rely on Huang Daxiao and them completely, besides, we don't need them to deal with a businessman." ”

Liang Yan hurriedly said: "Brother Xian, now that we all look to you as the leader, you say, what should we do now?" ”

The rest of the gentry nodded their heads as well.

Now it's their turn to huddle together to keep warm.

Zhao Qinghe pondered a little, and said in a low tone: "Everyone, judging from the current form, Guo Dan clearly wants us to die, in this case, we can only fight with Guo Dan, the bigger the trouble, the more beneficial it will be to us, because the officials, gentry, and scholars in this world are all towards us, and it is best to have a bloody case, as long as there is a human life, everyone will help us put pressure on the court." ”

When the gentry heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up, how could they forget this trick.

This is their killer weapon, because they have always controlled public opinion, and if the imperial court has any policies that are not favorable to them, they will create public opinion and let the people charge for them.

Liang Yan asked, "But how to count the bloody case on Guo Dan's head?" ”

Zhao Qinghe sneered, "Heavy agriculture and suppress business, heavy agriculture and suppress business, isn't the life of a businessman not a life?" Besides, the merchant still has so many people, these people have no land, and now that this shop has been seized, what should they do, of course, they are wronged and have owners. ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

When Liang Yan heard this, he praised it again and again.

The rest of the gentry also had grim smiles on their faces.

......

They can concentrate on dealing with Guo Dan, but Guo Dan can't concentrate on dealing with them, because Guo Dan still has millions of taxes on his shoulders, don't look at him having a lot of fun, but his pressure is not small.

"I wonder what do you think they will do next?" Guo Dan asked Aunt Xu.

"I don't know what they'll do, but if it's me, I'll support you in valuing agriculture and suppressing business." Aunt Xu said calmly: "Because your move is only to hurt the enemy by a thousand, and to lose yourself by eight hundred, and you can't hold out to the end." ”

Guo Dan asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Aunt Xu said: "The predicament of Kaifeng Mansion is not only caused by the landlord, but also the reason for the favorable time and place, now the population of Kaifeng Mansion is much more than that of Taizu and Chengzu, but the cultivated land has not increased much, plus in recent years, this day is not beautiful, and the harvest is not good every year, in this case, you still restrict commerce so much, it will only backfire, as long as they help you restrict business, you will soon encounter a lot of difficulties." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Fortunately, the laymen are sitting next to me, not sitting next to them." ”

Aunt Xu said, "It seems that you have already thought of a countermeasure?" ”

Guo Dan smiled slightly, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a burst of footsteps outside, and there were quite a few people listening.

"What's the situation?"

Guo Dan's heart immediately sank.

"Uncle, uncle, there are many officers and soldiers outside."

I saw a guy running in in a panic.

"I'm rubbing! Could it be that the officers and soldiers defected? ”

Guo Dan stood up and immediately ordered Yang Feixu: "Feixu, you go and prepare a fast horse and take me first." Layman, please take care of the aftermath. ”

The two beauties both said hello with a smile on their faces.

You're exaggerating, aren't you?

Before they came back to their senses, they saw Dong Ping walk in.

"Master Dong, what are you doing here?"

Guo Dan took a step back.

Gotta find a way to kick this coward out of the North Town Fuji. Dong Ping secretly thought in his heart, crying and laughing: "Of course I'm here to protect you." ”

"Protect me?"

Guo Danhu looked at him suspiciously: "Didn't you protect me before?" ”

Dong Ping rolled his eyes and said, "We learned that those gentry are inciting merchants to come to you for trouble, so I sent more people over." ”

"That's what happened, but it scared me to death."

Guo Dan hurriedly patted his chest, breathing a sigh of relief, thinking, I really watched too many TV series.

Aunt Xu's face was extremely solemn, she stood up, walked behind Guo Dan, and whispered: "Don't be careless, this is their usual trick, they will first incite the people to confront the court, and then the ministers of the court will put pressure on Your Majesty with public opinion, this trick has repeatedly made the court change its policy, if you are not careful, you may be ruined, and even Your Majesty will not be able to protect you." ”

When Guo Dan heard this, not only did he not panic, but he smiled and said: "So that's the case, don't panic, don't panic, this trick is all left over from my play, they haven't gotten the essence yet, you look at it, I'll teach them a good lesson in person." ”

At this time, Gao Shang ran out in a panic, "What's going on, why are so many people coming outside?" ”

Dong Ping immediately told him about it.

Gao Shang immediately said: "Dong Zhen Fu envoy, I will move to live with you today." ”

Guo Dan took a breath of cold air, looking at the nobleness in a daze, and the feeling of admiration arose, this is really the strongest of the strong, a mountain and a mountain high!
