Guo Dan's long-range and close-range attack strategy has achieved good results in this blowout period.

One of the very important reasons is that he did not rely on his own strength to promote the development of the whole thing, but used the characteristics of the capital economy to promote the progress of things.

On the whole, he is still under the official standard, and he has not crossed that boundary, Guo Dan did not take money and point fingers in any state capital, his capital power has not expanded externally, he is only doing pure trading, and it is in line with local policies.

The power is still in the hands of officials.

As long as this line is not crossed, officials can still tolerate it, after all, everyone has money, taxes, and political achievements.

Shanxi is more relaxed than the Daimyo's mansion, Guo Dan didn't send anyone over, those Jin merchants solved the problem, those Jin merchants are really real dealers, they are pervasive, as long as there is money to be made, they do any business, they are inextricably linked with the local government and army.

The border army also has to rely on Jin merchants to smuggle goods to Mongolia, and now the goods are from Weihui Mansion, if you want to close the road, then everyone will die.

The political envoy of Shanxi also shouted fiercely, but in fact he didn't care much.

This famous mansion is still so lively, how will Weihui Mansion be prosperous?

Forty miles away in the northern suburbs of Xinxiang County, I saw hundreds of strong men waving hoes and digging caves, and the surrounding area was crowded with people, and everyone's faces were full of excitement and excitement.

It turns out that Xinxiang County has recently ushered in a large workshop, which is a brick and tile workshop built here by a Luoyang businessman named Song Hui, recruiting as many as 1,000 employees, which is the first workshop outside Ji County to break 1,000 people, and its scale is better than the porcelain workshop that Duan Chang existed in Weihui Mansion.

This workshop alone can feed a lot of people, can the people of Xinxiang County not be happy.

Xinxiang County has also become the second largest county after Ji County.

Even Guo Dan came here to congratulate in person.

After the groundbreaking ceremony, Song Hui bowed his hand to Guo Dan and said, "Captain Guo, please take care of it in the future." ”

Guo Dan bowed his hand and replied: "Song Yuanwai sincerely believes that in the next, in the next will never disappoint Song Yuanwai, I dare to guarantee, how much you produce, there will not be a single brick and tile left in the warehouse, and in the future, the buildings of our Weihui Mansion will be mainly bricks and tiles." ”

"It's... This Song really doesn't know what to say. Song Hui was moved to tears.

Although Kaifeng Mansion has closed the road, it does not prevent Kaifeng merchants from entering Weihui Mansion, Song Hui is the largest wealthy businessman from Kaifeng, this person is only in his thirties, his ancestors have been producing bricks and tiles in Luoyang for generations, he is really a ruin this time, and he has brought all his assets in Luoyang to Weihui Mansion.

But in fact, he had already talked with Guo Dan, Guo Dan promised that as long as he came, he would give him the largest brick kiln in Weihui Mansion for free, this brick kiln was originally the government's, but now that the government is gone, it will naturally fall into his hands.

In fact, Guo Dan's doing this has nothing to do with Song Hui, in fact, everyone is the same, but Song Hui is one step ahead.

Because commerce will inevitably lead to urbanization, it is inevitable to build a large number of civil works, but good timber has to be transported from the south of the Yangtze River, which is too costly, and takes a long time, and the risk is also high.

Xinxiang is very rich in sand and clay, and he hopes to completely replace wood with bricks and tiles.

Although the cost of stone transportation is higher than that of wood, he has no intention of exporting it to the outside world, and it is completely used for domestic construction, and he encourages businessmen to invest in the brick and tile industry.

The appearance of this brick and tile workshop, the trade of mules and donkeys was immediately born in the surrounding area, and now there are too many merchants here, and those small merchants are specially attached to the big rich merchants, anyway, what do you do, we will make special matching.

For example, Duan Changcun's porcelain workshop is surrounded by wooden boxes that produce porcelain specially.

And Guo Dan did not monopolize the transportation in this territory, and he had no reason to monopolize the transportation in the territory, he monopolized the overseas because other businessmen had no way to deal with the outside government, and the domestic government did not need to deal with the government.

.....

In the afternoon, Guo Dan returned to the county seat, which was really crowded with people, with workshops and storefronts lined up one after another, which was really more lively than the markets in the capital.

And those residences that used to be lived in by the old men are now all rented to businessmen and turned into hotels, because the places where the county lords live are all public, and now Weihui Mansion does not even have a public house, Guo Dan does not even have a property in Weihui Mansion, no matter where he goes, he lives in a hotel, but he has money and lives in the best.

Moreover, the specifications of this Weihui Mansion Hotel are already very high, of which seventy percent have reached the standard of screwing bags to move in, which is actually thanks to the development of textile workshops, a large number of waste cloth for the hotel, resulting in bed sheets can be replaced every day.

For the industries that used to belong to the public, Guo Dan adopted the policy that all service industries should be rented, but all production industries were almost free to use, but they could not be said to be gifts, and Guo Dan did not have this power.

This is because the production industry is basically sold to other places, the lower the production cost, the more competitive the price, as long as the market is won, the scale of production will be larger and larger, more people will work, more taxes, this is a virtuous circle.

Guo Dan is to minimize their production costs.

The service industry does not need to go out and earn local money, so it naturally has to pay rent.

But these rents Guo Dan can't look down on, except for Luwangfu, the rents in the rest of the places are used for local public services.

Especially in terms of hygiene.

Guo Dan invests almost all the rent in sanitation, so many people live together, sanitation is a big problem, and you must be willing to spend money.

When I came to the local courthouse, I saw a long queue in front of the door.

"What do you want to do?"

Guo Dan, who was just about to bypass the line and enter the door, was blocked out by two people who were queuing.

Guo Dan sighed: "I went in to find someone." ”

The man said unhappily: "We also went in to find people, queue up, queue up." ”

Guo Dan said angrily: "I'm a lawyer, are you?" ”

"A litigator?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were a lawyer, I thought you were also a businessman." ”

"Merchant?" Guo Dan snorted angrily, "Have you ever seen such a businessman with the temperament of a scholar?" No eyesight at all. ”

"Ahem.....!"

Suddenly, I heard a cough from inside the door, "I really haven't seen that you have any scholarly temperament." ”

Guo Dan turned his head to look at it, beckoned and smiled: "Old Huang, you are also here!" ”

It's to get in.

This old man is the squire of Dashu Village, and it was he who went to Guo Dan for trouble, and this court came into being.

When he came to the house, Huang Lao looked at Guo Dan with an unhappy face, and said, "I said that you really don't want any face, and my reputation as a litigator in Xinxiang County will ruin you." ”

Guo Dan said depressedly: "It's not so exaggerated. ”

"The lawyer is for the people, but what did you just say?" Huang Lao snorted: "Next time, if you dare to pretend to be a litigator again, don't blame the old man for not being merciful, arrest you, and let you carry feces." ”

Guo Dan was frightened, "I don't want to pretend either, but they won't let me in, I said why don't you even have a gatekeeper in your court." ”

"Don't you know how much money you have allocated to our court?"

“......！”

Guo Dan snorted: "The court is a place to serve justice for the people, if there is a sentry in three steps, then who dares to come." ”

"You also know that the courts are here to bring justice to the people." Huang Lao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Then what kind of trademark registration do you put in our court, the people queuing up outside are all businessmen, and none of them are here to sue." ”

Guo Dan said: "I can't do it, about trademark registration, it must have legal effect, of course, it has to be registered in the court, now it's a little busy, and when there are disputes, the court can also start to investigate, it's like household registration, if I do it myself, if something goes wrong, then I have to pour out feces." ”

A few days ago, he had already issued a rule that any merchant in Weihui Mansion must register a trademark, and he also asked Wutiao Gun to design a "Weihui" logo, and any trademark must be preceded by the "Weihui" logo.

This advertisement is unconscionable.

However, he didn't really want to set up a business bureau, because he didn't want to control power, and he felt that it was a waste of money, so he stipulated that it would be registered in the court, which really tossed the courts everywhere to death, and there were too many businessmen during this period.

"Huang Lao, you dissipate your anger first." Guo Dan said: "I didn't let your court do it in vain, you helped to choose the name, didn't you also charge relevant fees?" ”

Businessmen are not necessarily educated, they don't know how to name them, and the gentry are educated, so Guo Dan helped them set up a name business in the court, and they wanted the court to obtain it, and they had to give money.

As soon as Huang Lao heard the money, he was angry again, and said: "What's the use of that money, this court is doing more and more work, and the money you allocated has really not changed at all." ”

Guo Dan immediately patted his chest and promised: "At this point, Huang Lao, please rest assured, I have already sent someone to count the monthly expenses of each court, and when the statistics come out, what should be increased and what should be decreased." ”

Huang Lao was about to faint when he heard this, and said excitedly: "With this amount of money, do you bother so much?" Now that the contract tax is a lot of money, what about a little more? ”

is so rich, and he is so picky.

In terms of public expense, Guo Dan is really scheming, a place full of businessmen, he is reluctant to even open a business bureau, do you think he will give the court more money?

But it's impossible.

Guo Dan sighed: "I have no choice, this money is not mine, it has to be handed over to the imperial court, now the ministers of the court and the central government are all staring at me, one or two more or one or less, there may be problems, and my life is at stake, I not only have to write down every account, but I also have to explain the reasons." ”

Huang Lao listened happily and said, "I said that you really deserve it!" If you don't contract Weihui Mansion, how can there be so many things. ”

Guo Dan said aggrievedly: "I said Huang Lao, can you not always expose my scars, I don't want to contract, I was forced to this step, it's really annoying." ”

"If you want to be annoying, the old man doesn't dare to compare with you!" Huang Lao snorted and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Come and see, mentally support your work, anyway, I've been in for so long, why don't I even have a cup of tea." ”

"Doesn't this tea cost money?"

“...... Excuse me, I'll go back to the hotel first. ”

Guo Dan once again left the courthouse in a gloomy manner.

He has never been able to get along with the gentry and litigants, because the gentry and litigators have to show that they are not afraid of power, are not afraid of obscenity, and are in charge of the people, so they never give Guo Dan a good face, and they can blow their beards and stare when they ask for money.

This is all to show that neither the court nor the litigation court is controlled by Guo Dan.

Guo Dan is not worthy of them, they should be scared, anyway, that's what happened.

After staying in Xinxiang for a few days, Guo Dan returned to Fucheng.

"So many carriages? Which rich merchant came? ”

When I came to the city gate, I saw that the city gate was full of carriages, not the wagons I had seen before.

"Uncle, uncle."

As soon as Guo Dan got off the carriage, he heard a shout, and saw Chenchen running over.

This time, he learned to be obedient and knew to come to the city gate to pick him up.

Guo Dan asked, "Chenchen, why are there so many carriages?" ”

Chenchen grinned.

Guo Dan said angrily: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Chenchen's eyes rolled, "This carriage is full of courtesans." ”

"Geisha?"

"That's right!"

Chen Chen nodded straight and said, "Because the business of the Hot Spring Pavilion has been so good recently, this courtesan can't be busy, so many businessmen have recruited a lot of courtesans from the Daimyo's Mansion. ”

"All evils and fornications are the first!"

Guo Dan sighed with emotion, and raised his head and said, "Let's go." ”

A large number of businessmen settled in Weihui Mansion, it is impossible to buy a residence for a while, only to live in a hotel, this service industry is too hot, there has been overtime pay, employees are not able to take vacations, every morning, there are hundreds of women washing sheets by the river, the scene is very spectacular.

When I came to Jinyulou, let alone a private room, I didn't even have a place to sit, so I could only go to Zhou Fengde's lounge.

"Nephew, you really should have rented me an extra building at that time, and now I drive guests out every day."

Zhou Feng said with a look of resentment.

The business is so good, but he washes his face with tears every day, and he can only watch the guests go to other restaurants to eat, which is really painful.

Guo Dan said angrily: "These days are a special situation, after a while, the business will not be so good, and then you will lose money, and return my building to me?" It's not that cheap. ”

Zhou Feng said excitedly: "You rent, even if you rent, I won't pay it back." ”

Guo Dan said: "The problem is that there is no rent, there is no place for Luwang Mansion for a long time, and other places do not meet the grade of your Jinyu Building." ”

Zhou Feng sighed bitterly: "Virtuous nephew, there are some things you have done really unfairly, you are obviously better to Chen Fangyuan than to us, the area of his hotel is several times that of my Jinyu Building, and the Marseille area, I knew that this was the case, I would have paid to take the hotel at that time." Hi.....! ”

The more he thought about it, the more he was frightened, the service industry of Luwangfu was no different from the planning of the Marseille District, and now it was completely possible to estimate the profits of the Marseille District, so that Chen Fangyuan, an old enemy, had picked up a leak, and he really couldn't figure it out.

Guo Dan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and he had to eat there.

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the door.

Zhou Feng asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Brother Zhou, it's me."

After hearing this, Zhou Feng hurriedly got up and opened the door, only to see a man in his thirties standing outside the door, he glanced into the house, and said with a smile: "I didn't disturb you." ”

"No, no"

Zhou Feng said, but looked at Guo Dan again.

Guo Dan also wiped his mouth, stood up, and said with a smile: "Please come in, please come in." ”

The man's eyes made him vaguely guess that he was looking for him.

Only then did Zhou Feng invite the man into the house, and said to Guo Dan: "Virtuous nephew, this is a friend of mine in Suzhou, and his winery Suzhou is really known to everyone, no one knows it!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. Brother Zhou has won the prize. ”

The man smiled modestly, bowed to Guo Dan again, and said, "Under Zhang Bingsheng." ”

Although he is a businessman, he talks and behaves very elegantly.

"Guo Dan."

Guo Dan returned the salute.

Zhou Feng smiled at Zhang Bingsheng and said, "Brother, I don't need to introduce you." ”

Zhang Bingsheng smiled.

One or three people sat down, Zhou Feng's eyes suddenly shook a few times, and said, "Virtuous nephew, my elder brother Zhang also wants to come to Weihui Mansion to do business, but he encounters some difficulties. ”

Guo Dan asked, "What is the difficulty?" ”

Zhang Bingsheng said: "Actually, it's not a difficulty, but compared to Brother Zhou, we Jiangnan businessmen have some inconveniences. ”

Guo said lightly: "Please speak." ”

"It's about the delivery of silver."

Zhang Bingsheng said: "If you don't carry much silver, it doesn't matter, but if there are too many, there will be a lot of inconveniences, mainly insecurity, but I heard Brother Zhou say that they are all directly deposited silver in the capital, if we can do this, it will be much more convenient." ”

Zhou Feng hurriedly said: "Virtuous nephew, in fact, the businessmen who come here have this problem, I think we can get a money bank in the tooth shop, in this way, it is convenient for everyone, and they can earn a lot." ”

Zhang Bingsheng glanced at Zhou Feng a little depressedly.

Guo Dan didn't know that Zhou Feng was reminding him, and said with a smile: "Please rest assured, I have a plan for this matter, but I must be cautious when opening a money bank, but I can't say that it can be opened, if something goes wrong, it may be discredited, this year is still in the preparatory stage, and it should be opened at the beginning of next year." ”

Zhou Feng said a little anxiously: "Now many people realize that Weihui Mansion lacks a money bank, and if they wait until next year, they may be taken first." ”

Dizzy! Your implication is a little too obvious. Guo Dan rolled his eyes secretly, and said: "If this money village is not opened in Weihui Mansion, what is the point, in Weihui Mansion, if it is not opened by me, who dares to believe it, I will not allow others to open a money village in Weihui Mansion, in case something happens, who will bear this responsibility, now we have no official government in Weihui Mansion." ”

"That's just as well."

Zhou Feng smiled and nodded, feeling a little relieved, and said to Zhang Bingsheng: "Brother, your wine is estimated to have to wait until next year to come to our Weihui Mansion, the timing is just right." ”

Zhang Bingsheng smiled and nodded, but there was still a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

Although he is a wine merchant, he actually wants to come here to open a money bank, he saw so many businessmen rushing to Weihui Mansion, if he opened a money village in Weihui Mansion, it would definitely make a profit, and he could even become the largest money village in Daming in one fell swoop.

When he came to Weihui Mansion, after he inquired, he knew that this matter had to be approved by Guo Dan, because the money bank was originally managed by the government, but without the government, it was naturally a financial problem, and Guo Dan would definitely not be able to get around.

But Guo Dan's words made him completely dead, as Guo Dan said, if this money village does not open Weihui Mansion, it will not make much sense.

He didn't know that Guo Dan had already thought of this at the moment when he contracted Weihui Mansion, he was engaged in finance, how could he not think of this, he originally planned to open it in Nanjing, Weihui Mansion, and Jingshi this year.

It doesn't work at all.

Next year, when the tax revenue of Weihui Mansion comes up, the local area will have enough silver taels, and the silver taels deposited in the capital will be directly cashed out, and the funds will be completely activated.

He can't do this for others, and others can't do it well.

Of course, he will not swallow it alone, it must still be based on Wanli, supplemented by tooth behavior, otherwise, this money village is opened elsewhere, but it is not very safe, if Wanli's money, whoever wants to move, Wanli will let him live as well as die.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Bingsheng got up and said goodbye, and Zhou Feng sent him out, but when Zhou Feng came back, there were two more people around him, Tong Li and Wu Guansheng.

Guo Dan hurriedly invited them to sit down, and asked Zhou Feng to prepare wine and food.

Zhou Feng is also very knowledgeable, this occasion is not suitable for him.

Guo Dan poured two glasses of wine for them and asked, "Tong Qianhu, second uncle, when did you come back?" ”

"As soon as you arrived on the front foot, we arrived on the back foot." Wu Guansheng poured a glass of wine and went in, smashing the bar.

"What a coincidence." Guo smiled lightly and asked again, "I don't know what the situation is at the border now?" ”

Tong Li said: "Today's situation is much better, such as Lingchuan and Huaxian many people have chosen to go back to find things to do, the local landlords no longer come to find things, the two sides get along relatively well, and Zhangde Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion Although more people are trying to enter our Weihui Mansion, but they have recently used a lot of people, patrolling the border, our burden is a lot less, so I let Xiao Wu guard, I came back to see." ”

"Really?"

Guo smiled and said, "It seems that it's time to add some more burdens to them." ”

Tong Li asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Cancel the requirement of household registration to find trouble in Weihui Mansion. ”

Wu Guansheng immediately shouted: "Are you torturing them, or are you torturing us, we are just a little more relaxed, you just come out like this, and then this person will not run to Weihui Mansion again." ”

Guo Dan said: "Don't worry, we don't need to change anything, just keep the status quo, they can't stop it, but we don't care." ”

"That's ---!" Wu Guansheng slowly closed his mouth.

Tong Li frowned and said, "This is not good. ”

Guo Dan said: "I'm a person who will be revenged, they are targeting me like this, can't I make them uncomfortable, this is theirs." ”

"It's uncomfortable to talk about!" Wu Guansheng shook his neck, "I've been really busy these days, this neck is uncomfortable." ”

Guo Dan said: "I'll treat you later, and invite Qianhu and the second uncle to go to the hot spring pavilion to relax." ”

"That's a good idea!"

Wu Guansheng couldn't open his eyes with a smile, but he was looking forward to this day!

Guo Dan immediately said again: "But you can't tell Xiao Wu." ”

"Why?"

"Because he teased me in the first place."

"You're really going to repay you!"

"Huh...!"

......

Following.

I saw Chenchen with some people, holding some notices, and pasting them in front of the Luwang Mansion.

This immediately attracted many businessmen to come to watch, especially Zhou Feng and other wealthy businessmen from Beijing, who really came to hear the news, because they knew that Chenchen represented Guo Dan, and Chenchen posted notices, which must be related to trading.

After reading it, everyone scolded their mothers.

This profiteer!

It's really hard to see us!

The notice clearly stated that the requirement to find a job on the basis of household registration was abolished, and anyone recruited must sign an employment contract, and violators will be counted as tax evasion.

Can this businessman not scold his mother?

If you look for a job with household registration, then of course those who do not have household registration are not protected, and this salary is much lower than that of the local people in Weihui Mansion, and the key is that you don't have to pay taxes.

How much more money will be paid this time.

But they don't want to think about it, not paying taxes is Guo Dan's loss, Guo Dan is not so generous.

However, they are not the most headaches, the most headaches should be Kaifeng Mansion and Zhangde Mansion.
