Chapter 723: Collapse
Although the employees of the dental store are still working every day, in fact, the external business has almost stopped, including Marseille, which has achieved the lowest profit in history, but continues to work hard in this area.
There is also a depression around the dental store.
But there are two sides to everything, and the depressed environment has created a very good environment for Guo Dan and Zhu Yaoyuan to run in the morning.
Zhu Yaoyao, who has recovered, can barely keep up with Guo Dan's pace.
"I heard small, you used to run a lot."
Zhu Yaoqiao blushed and glanced at Guo Dan.
"Hmm."
Guo Dan nodded.
"Why?"
Zhu Yaoyuan asked curiously.
She once thought that Guo Dan was to help her, so she went for a morning run, but this was not the case.
"It's very simple, you need needlework for embroidery, and you need a good body for any job, and I want to work at my best every day."
"I see."
Zhu Yaoyao nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly glanced at an alley on the side, and her footsteps stopped.
Guo Dan also stopped, walked to Zhu Yaoyuan's side, and said, "What are you looking at?" ”
Zhu Yaoyuan pointed to the alley and said, "There used to be an eldest lady who sold scallion pancakes here every morning, and Xiaoxiao and I liked to eat them very much. ”
"And then?"
"But since you stopped getting paid, few people came to buy scallion pancakes, and in recent days I found that the lady has not come here to sell scallion pancakes anymore." Zhu Yao said regretfully.
Guo smiled lightly: "So you want me to change my salary?" ”
"Is that okay?"
Zhu Yaoyao turned her head and looked at Guo Dan with clear eyes full of anticipation.
"Of course not."
Guo Dan turned around again and continued to run towards the tooth shop.
"Why?"
Zhu Yaoyuan chased after him and said, "Since you did this, the little ones have all looked sullen. ”
Guo smiled lightly: "Without wind and rain, how can there be a rainbow." ”
.....
"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!"
When I returned to the house, I saw that Kou Chengxiang broke free from the nurse's big hand and staggered towards Guo Dan.
I don't know if it's because he eats too well, Kou Chengxiang is born with a tiger head and a lot of strength, and he often goes on a rampage.
"Son!"
Guo Dan opened his hands.
"Hurry up and stop Xiang'er."
I heard a shout.
A few nurses seemed to have a reflex, and they hugged Kou Chengxiang.
Guo Dan watched Kou Chengxiang, who was right in front of him, being taken away, stood up depressedly, and looked back at Kou Shouxin, who was commanding remotely on the steps.
"What do you see?"
Kou Shouxin immediately looked at him angrily: "What should I do if you sweat and smoke my precious grandson?" ”
Guo Dan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly hugged Kou Chengxiang over, and walked quickly to the bathroom, "Let's go, go take a bath with my father." ”
"What are you doing, oops, you kid is rebelling, go slower, you should go slower, don't fall my baby grandson."
was so angry that Kou Shouxin chased and scolded behind.
Kou Chengxiang looked at the panting grandfather with wide eyes, and smiled straightly.
Now there is nothing to do, Guo Dan doesn't need to go to work on time every day, he accompanied Kou Chengxiang to play until the morning, and then went to Yaxing leisurely, and he didn't go to the main gate, and he didn't like the lifeless main gate.
Entering the office from the back door, I saw Aunt Xu and Kou Zhuansha sitting on the sofa drinking tea and chatting, while Zhu Yaoyao was sitting at the office desk, dialing the abacus.
"What are you talking about?"
Guo Dan sat next to Kou Zhuansha with a butt, and naturally reached out to hug Kou Zhuansha.
"Smack!"
Kou Liansha slapped his hand hard and glared at him.
Guo Dan rubbed the back of his hand pitifully.
Aunt Xu smiled: "We are talking about the story of copper coins. ”
Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What about the letter from Nanjing?" ”
"Hmm." Kou Zhuansha picked up a letter from the side and handed it to Guo Dan, saying, "This just came, and the letter said that they had used all the copper coins they had prepared. ”
"Is it convenient to teach?"
Aunt Xu put a cup of tea in front of Guo Dan.
"The layman is serious, this is not a teaching."
Guo Dan took the teacup, took a sip, put down the teacup again, and said: "I remember that the layman once said that it is very difficult for me at present. Then I have to find a way to control the money in other people's hands. ”
Aunt Xu and Kou Zhuansha said in unison: "Control the money in other people's hands? ”
Even Li Fangchen on the side looked up at Guo Dan.
Is this immortal?
Guo smiled lightly: "I don't know if you have heard of the theory of 'bad money drives out good money', even if you haven't heard of it, you should have seen it with your own eyes.
In other words, when a broken copper coin also has the purchasing power of a penny copper coin, then the market will be flooded with broken copper coins, and the intact copper coins will disappear, which is the so-called 'bad money drives out good money'. ”
Aunt Xu and Kou Zhuansha nodded slightly.
This is not difficult to understand, as this often happened in the Ming Dynasty.
But Zhu Yaoyuan seemed to be a little incomprehensible, after all, she was not deeply involved in the world, and she was thinking about it.
Aunt Xu said thoughtfully: "Compared with silver, copper coins are bad coins, and when you spill a lot of copper coins in Nanjing and encourage everyone to trade with copper coins, it will naturally lead to less silver in the market." ”
"It's that simple."
Guo Dan nodded and smiled: "Since I don't have a large amount of White Shadow Silver Power in my hands, then I will let all the silver stay at home and not allow them to go out." ”
"It's not easy."
Aunt Xu shook her head, it sounded simple, but few people could think of it, and she could still operate like this, and said with a smile: "Those Jiangnan merchants almost copy the original, and the workshops, tools, and craftsmen are all ready-made, but the result may be diametrically opposite. ”
Guo Dan shook his head and said, "If they copy the original, then they may be me." ”
Aunt Xu gave two puzzled looks.
Guo Dan suddenly stretched out his hand to Kou Liansha's waist again, gently hugged her, and before she could make a statement, he preemptively asked: "Madam, to test how well you know your husband, what do you think is the most different from all businessmen?" ”
Sure enough, Kou Zhuansha didn't care about Guo Dan's hand anymore, thought seriously for a while, and suddenly said, "Spend money!" If the husband is the most different from other businessmen, it should be spending money. ”
For a long time, she didn't understand this, for the light tooth shop, Guo Dan spent a lot more money than he earned, so there was a share system, and the share system was to help Guo Dan spend more money, which was far more than the value of the tooth shop.
At the beginning, the tooth store faced the dilemma of not being able to pay her wages several times, and she was frightened when she spent it, and she still remembered that any businessman was thinking about how to suck more money in, rather than spending more money out.
"That's right!"
Guo Dan snapped his fingers and said: "I've always said that there are many people who can make money, and the lady who sells scallion pancakes in the alley next door will make money, and the most difficult thing is to spend money. ”
Aunt Xu saw that Guo Dan was full of confidence, and she made it all out of her understatement, and said with a smile: "It seems that no one can stop you now." ”
Guo Dan nodded and said, "The crisis has come. ”
......
Daimyo's house.
"Your Excellency, you have to call the shots for me! I was deceived by Li Tong. ”
Cao Guihe really knelt on the ground and cried to Cheng Guishi.
Cheng Guishi looked embarrassed: "I also want to help you, but where do I go to find Li Tong now, then again, you were greedy and bought his warehouse and fleet, of course there are losses and profits in this business, you can't lose money, and you won't even pay the boatman's wages."
As for Li Tongde's matter, let's talk about it later, you should hurry up and pay the boatman's wages now, if this matter becomes big, this official can only enforce the law impartially. ”
"Your Excellency."
Cao Guihe raised his head and looked at Cheng Guishi with teary eyes.
It turned out that he hadn't paid the boatmen's wages for two months, which was really fatal, and those boatmen joined forces to directly occupy the river, warehouses, and boats, threatening Cao Guihe, if you don't pay your wages again, we will dismantle your boat.
A rotten ship with three pounds of iron, not to mention a good ship of yours.
There are many people on the other side, and Cao Guihe's minions are not enough, so he can only run to Cheng Guishi for help, but Cheng Guishi thought to himself, if you don't pay your salary, there may be a riot in the Daimyo Mansion, and then I will have to take responsibility, then of course there is only one result, you can die with peace of mind.
However, Cao Guihe is only the tip of the iceberg.
At the beginning, Guo Dan's biggest investment was the transportation team, and when it came to the tariff stage, he relied on cheap transportation costs to monopolize the entire commercial transportation.
And the basis of all this is based on the fact that when trade is booming, when trade stagnates, the first thing to collapse is definitely transportation.
Because the manpower and material resources required for transportation are huge, and you can't find people temporarily, you have to keep those boatmen.
And Guo Dan had already sold all the fleets and warehouses in his hands a few months ago, and there was nothing left.
As soon as he got out, the whole trade began to come to a standstill, and the pick-up men immediately couldn't bear it.
They won't pay me, and your boatman doesn't work, why do you get paid, the boatman thinks I don't work, but I stay on the ship, I don't do anything else, you don't pay me a bonus at most, and I still have to pay the basic salary.
There are conflicts everywhere.
The boatmen were busy asking for wages all day long, and this transportation naturally stagnated, and the trade was even worse, and the goods and silver were not daring to go out.
Enter the vicious circle stage.
The canal collapsed overnight, and a large number of shops that depended on the canal were closed in droves, and a large number of unemployed boatmen were hanging on the shore.
But in fact, all this is a sign of this, because the reason why transportation has stagnated must be because the economy has entered a depression.
The reason why the economy is depressed is mainly because when Guo Dan withdrew, he sucked away all the active silver in the market, and at the same time scattered a large amount of inventory to compensate employees.
As a result, the people have goods in their hands, no silver, and no media, how can this trade prosper.
You must know that when Guo Dan was in Weihui's mansion, the law required that silver must be issued, and goods could not be used to pay for work, and the purpose was to promote transactions.
The market in Weihui Mansion is very prosperous.
The people had to pay for everything.
Not only that, but he also donated a lot of money to education and medical care in various places, and he directly threw money, which led to a group of businessmen.
Before leaving, he exported a lot of goods from Mongolia at a very low price, ensuring that they did not need to urgently purchase the goods of Weihui Mansion for the time being, and at the same time united with Jin merchants to block the trade between Weihui Mansion and Mongolia, and in the Jiangnan area, he spent a full 100,000 taels to create the phenomenon of bad money driving out good money.
As a result, large quantities of silver were hidden in the home.
At present, Weihui is still very dependent on trade with Mongolia.
Moreover, in order for Weihui Mansion to operate, it must need a large amount of silver, and the Jiangnan area is the most active area for silver, and there is a problem in Jiangnan, which causes silver to become more scarce in the market.
As a production center, Weihui Mansion... It's really just sudden death.
There was no warning at all.
The businessmen didn't have a chance to react, because a large number of businessmen were from Jiangnan, and they thought that there was no problem at all with their goods being sold to Jiangnan, but they didn't expect that Guo Dan was encircling Wei to save Zhao, and this problem was still in Jiangnan, and the people in Jiangnan kept their silver and didn't buy things easily.
They had just produced the first batch of goods, and the buyer told them directly, "We don't want the goods, for the simple reason that my shop is closed."
It's really a life.
"You people, stop it. Robbery! Robbery! Come on! ”
On the dock of Weihui Mansion, I saw Zhang Shifu shouting anxiously.
And then the eggs.
One by one, workers rushed onto the cargo ship, threw down boxes of goods, and fled with the goods.
"You big profiteer, wronged my mother-in-law for stealing things, and Lao Tzu kicked you to death."
A big man carried Zhang Shifu's goods, and kicked Zhang Shifu to the ground by the way, and fell to the ground.
He still wants to run away, because he has not been paid for two months, he really has no money in his hands, and his money has become goods, but Guo Dan wants them to die, don't even think about running.
Guo Dan's people informed the employees of the textile workshop early in the morning that they were going to run away and go to grab things.
Zhang Shifu is a famous silk merchant in the Jiangnan generation, and he is still like this, and the situation of the rest of the merchants is really imaginable.
The situation in the city of Weihui Mansion is even more terrifying, a large number of employees rushed into their workshops, shops, and warehouses, anyway, they saw what they were robbing, because they all knew that the proprietor would definitely not be able to pay the wages, so no one could lose themselves.
There is a way to do it yourself.
There were also fierce clashes in many workshops, and as a result, the merchants were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and they were looking for teeth all over the ground.
In fact, after they arrived, the employee has always been resentful, because his salary has dropped a lot, his benefits have also been reduced, and the key is to pay his own taxes, even so, you still have to owe us wages.
This is really unbearable!
