This article, in fact, also reflects Guo Dan's character, he is optimistic by nature, and good at reflection, he will not spend too much time complaining, he is at most happy to scold a few words, but after scolding, he will reflect on himself, what he can do, can avoid losses.

Instead of thinking about how others should adjust in order to avoid their own losses.

It doesn't make sense to say that.

No one will think about his interests.

After this incident, he hoped to avoid unnecessary vicious competition with the surrounding government as much as possible.

In addition, he is now a financial advisor to the Ming Dynasty, not a humble businessman, and the adults have reason to accept his existence.

At this time, it was the wheat sowing season, and for Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, it was necessary to race against time, they needed to harvest all the cucumbers in the field, and then plant wheat, and they only had half a month.

Because the ripening of the pumpkin has been delayed for some time.

It's a very tight time.

Women and children all ran to help.

Along the way, there were busy figures everywhere, and they really didn't have time to care about Guo Dan's arrival.

......

"Why are we still wandering around Kaifeng Mansion, are we going the wrong way?"

Guo Dan lifted the curtain and asked Yang Feixu outside the car.

Yang Feixu replied: "I have already arrived at Guide Mansion. ”

"What?"

Guo Dan looked into the distance again, and saw that there were many farmers working in every field, it was so harmonious, and he questioned: "This is impossible!" Didn't you say that Guide Mansion was in chaos, how... It doesn't look like it! ”

Aunt Xu, who was sitting opposite, smiled: "This is the difference between having talent and not having talent." ”

"So what am I doing here?"

Guo Dan spread his hands.

"Do you want the icing on the cake, or do you want to be the icing on the cake?" Aunt Xu asked rhetorically.

"Neither." Guo Dan said angrily: "I'm here to get carbon from the snow." ”

Aunt Xu was stunned for a moment and said, "It turns out that you really want to get the coal and iron ore of Guide Mansion." ”

"Of course."

“.......！”

Aunt Xu shook her head, lifted the curtain again, and looked outside, with a hint of confusion between her eyebrows.

According to the information given by the imperial court, the Guide Mansion is nothing, and it is impossible to recover so quickly.

Suddenly, a figure flashed from Aunt Xu's eyes, and she immediately shouted, "Stop." ”

The carriage came to an abrupt stop.

"Do you want to go to the toilet?"

Guo Dan asked.

Aunt Xu glared at him, she really wanted to kick over, she really couldn't do it in the carriage, she got out of the carriage by herself.

Guo Dan also followed.

Aunt Xu walked along the Qianmo trail for a while, came to a square field, and shouted to a farmer who was working inside: "Uncle Wei! ”

Guo Dan was slightly startled.

Aunt Xu was born in a famous family, and those who can be called uncles and uncles by her are either adults or earls, where are people like Guo Dan, even those who open restaurants call him Guo nephew.

I couldn't help but stare at it, and saw that the old farmer was about fifty years old, and he looked whiter than ordinary farmers, and he really didn't look like a farmer.

Uncle Wei?

Could it be that he is Wei Yunzhen?

This person is none other than Wei Yunzhen.

"Yikes! It's thoughtless! ”

When Wei Yunzhen saw Aunt Xu, she couldn't help but look happy, and came to the edge of the field with a hoe, and said in surprise: "Wusi, why did you come here?" ”

Aunt Xu said with a smile: "The junior specially sent rescue soldiers for Uncle Wei. ”

She led her hand to Guo Dan next to her.

Wow! You're really good at doing favors. Guo Dan muttered to himself, and then arched his hand: "Guo Dan has seen Lord Wei. ”

Wei Yunzhen was stunned, looked at Guo Dan, and said, "You are my financial adviser to the Ming Dynasty, Guo Dan?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "It must be younger than Lord Wei imagined." ”

Wei Yunzhen was stunned for a moment, and then immediately bowed back, "Rude, rude." In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about your name! ”

If it was before, he couldn't have said this, it can be seen that the financial adviser of Daming is still very good for the time being, because this name was useless before.

"Where, where."

Guo smiled lightly: "If I had known that Lord Wei was here, I wouldn't have needed to come here at all." ”

Wei Yunzhen complained: "I don't even think you're late." ”

Guo Dan was surprised: "But I think the adults have already managed this place in an orderly manner." ”

"It's just an illusion."

Wei Yunzhen pointed to a grass shed on the edge of the field, "Let's go, let's go over there." ”

When she came to the grass shed, Wei Yunzhen took a sip of water and sighed: "This clever woman is difficult to cook without rice!" In the face of the impoverished Guide Mansion, what the old man can do is extremely limited.....! ”

He explained the reason to Guo Dan.

It turned out that he just took advantage of the three fires of this new official to call on all officials in Henan Province to donate money to Guide Mansion, and he himself set an example, not only donating a lot of money, but also selling some belongings to raise some money and grain, and then borrowing some grain from the landlords of Guide Mansion with the tax revenue of Guide Mansion next year as a guarantee.

Although these are not much, he led by example, and shared the weal and woe with the local people, leading the people to cultivate the land, and telling the people that the court would send people to support us.

In fact, the people are very simple, they are deeply moved, the dignified provincial officials, who eat the same as us, also go to the fields every day to farm, and no one has any grievances.

Settled down for the time being.

The people did not make a fuss, and it also reduced a lot of internal friction.

Wei Yunzhen shook her head and sighed: "But this is just a stupid method, it won't last long, and it depends on Advisor Guo." ”

This is really a good woman who has no rice, the court just gave him an official hat, nothing else to give him, and he is not good to ask other state capitals to give aid to the Guide government, what he can do is to share the weal and woe with the people.

Guo Dan looked back at Yang Feixu and said, "Help me bring the bag." ”

After a while, Yang Feixu walked over with a leather briefcase and handed the briefcase to Guo Dan.

Guo Dan took out a plan from it, handed it to Wei Yunzhen, and said, "This is my rescue plan, and I ask Lord Wei to take a look." ”

Wei Yunzhen hurriedly took it and looked at it, and after looking at it for a while, he suddenly frowned and said, "I thought you came here as a financial advisor to the Ming Dynasty, not as a businessman." ”

"Of course, I'm acting as a financial advisor to Daming."

"Then you are suspected of taking advantage of the fire to rob."

Wei Yunzhen looked a little unhappy.

Because in his ideological outlook, officials are dedicated, but Guo Dan wants to ask for it, and his appetite is not small, so he wants to return all the coal and iron mines in Defu, and it is free of charge.

Guo smiled lightly: "Taking advantage of the fire to rob, it proves that the Guide Mansion is not poor, if no one comes here to take advantage of the fire to rob, then maybe the gods can't save it." Of course, this doesn't mean that I'm just here to take advantage of the fire.

I have carefully studied the situation in Guide Province, and the industry, agriculture and commerce have been seriously damaged, and it is not an overnight thing to restore agriculture, and only industry and commerce can quickly revitalize Guide Province.

In order to revive the industry, agriculture and commerce, we must first attract merchants to invest money here, and the only thing that can attract merchants here at present is coal and iron mines, and I will move the production line of Weihui Mansion to produce agricultural tools and tools.

This is bound to provide a lot of livelihood for the local people.

At that time, the agricultural tools and tools produced will be exported to Jiangnan and Shandong, and at the same time, Guide Mansion is also a way to enter Weihui Mansion, so there will be more people entering Weihui Mansion here. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said: "To put it mildly, most of the coal mines here were occupied by those gentry in the past, and even if the coal and iron mines owned by the government were only used to exploit the people. ”

"Aren't you?"

Wei Yunzhen asked.

"Of course I'm not."

Guo Dan said: "Please also take a closer look at the salary guarantee we give to the miners, which will be ten times that of the miners here before." ”

"Ten times?" Wei Yunzhen was a little unconvinced, and hurriedly flipped through the back, and when he saw the regulations on wages, he couldn't help but open his eyes.

Guo smiled lightly: "It's not how generous I am, compared to the miners in our Weihui Mansion, in fact, it is only about twice as much, which shows how stingy the government here was before, I said that it was to use the coal and iron ore of Guide Mansion for free, but in fact, I just distributed this part of the money to the people." ”

The government often uses labor to mine for free, and this salary is evenly distributed, which really cannot be described as a sweatshop.

And Guo Dan wants to take all the coal and iron mines owned by Defu for free, and he doesn't even pay the mining tax, but this money is actually not much less, because Guo Dan shares all the money that should be paid in taxes, or bribes from the government, to the miners.

The mines of Weihui Mansion also have to pay taxes, which also include deed tax.

As he spoke, he took out a contract in his bag and said, "Here is an alternative, in this plan, we will give the government a sum of money every year, but at the same time, the people's wages will be reduced by sixty percent, after all, the labor cost of the Guide Mansion is actually not as good as our Weihui Mansion." It's up to Master Wei how you choose. ”

Wei Yunzhen frowned slightly, suddenly looked at Aunt Xu on the side, and asked, "Wusi, you have always been resourceful, you can help me come up with ideas." ”

Aunt Xu smiled: "Uncle Wei is really not very good at buying and selling, if Uncle Wei wants to bargain, he shouldn't tell him the truth, now Uncle Wei doesn't have much choice." ”

"You didn't say it sooner."

Wei Yunzhen complained, and suddenly realized that Aunt Xu had taken off her robe, and said, "Could it be that he is your husband." ”

Aunt Xu hurriedly said: "Uncle Wei misunderstood, I just took his money and helped him with advice." ”

Guo Dan snorted: "If she were my wife, I would have kicked it a long time ago, and this elbow is always ..... Oops! ”

Yang Feixu said suddenly: "It's easy to step on you when you turn in." ”

Aunt Xu pursed her lower lip and almost burst out laughing.

You stinky bitch, Lao Tzu swears to God, one day, Lao Tzu will strip you naked, and then do nothing with you, itching you to death. Guo Dan turned his head and glared at Yang Feixu fiercely, and then said to Aunt Xu: "Layman, what are you doing, the adults ask you, are you serious." ”

Aunt Xu suddenly came to her senses, and subconsciously looked at Wei Yunzhen in embarrassment, only to see the old man looking at them with a confused expression.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Wei, the junior ......"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Wei Yunzhen waved her hand and asked again, "Wusi, if I agree, what do you think I should choose?" ”

Aunt Xu put away her smile and said: "What do the juniors think, if this money goes to Uncle Wei, Uncle Wei will definitely use it to save the people, but it may include some lazy people, after all, this money cannot help every person."

It can be seen that this money is in the hands of the government, and the best result is not as good as the first plan provided by Guo Dan, and the worst result is that the government will continue to keep this part of the money for itself in the future. ”

"Well said!"

Guo Dan winked at Aunt Xu and said, "It seems that you haven't forgotten who is paying you now." ”

Aunt Xu immediately glared at Guo Dan angrily.

Wei Yunzhen looked at them, laughed, and said: "It is worthy of being my financial adviser of the Ming Dynasty, if it really deserves its reputation, it seems that there are many choices, but in fact, the old man has no choice at all." ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard a scolding: "Stop, who are you?" ”

Guo Dan looked back and saw a man in his thirties looking at him, not caring at all about the scimitar in the hand of the guard in front of him.

The man suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "You... Are you Guo Dan of Yinuo Yaxing? ”

"Yes!" Guo Dan nodded, curious: "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

The man's face suddenly turned overjoyed, and he turned around and ran to the edge of the field, "It's Guo Dan, it's Guo Dan, it's really Guo Dan, Guo Dan is here." ”

Bursts of cheers could be heard in the distance.

"Guo Dan is here, we are saved."

.....

There was a hint of embarrassment under the straw shed.
