Although this Wanli has supreme power, he must stand with the ministers on the surface, and he can't go too far in this matter, so Guo Danchong can only be in front.

In fact, their pair of emperor merchants have always played like this.

Wanli never rushed into battle, this time it was because Guo Dan used Aunt Xu's strategy, he hid behind and threw the problem to the court, so Wanli stood in front.

Now that he is back in contracting, Guo Dan should stand in front.

After having dinner overnight, Guo Dan accompanied Kou Zhuansha for a walk in the courtyard as always.

"Husband, have you been thinking about anything lately?"

Kou Zhuansha suddenly turned her head to look at Guo Dan.

Guo Dan was slightly stunned and said, "How did Madam know?" ”

Kou Lian Sha said: "Because my husband has rarely talked nonsense in the past two days. ”

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Why doesn't Madam think that I am a good learner." ”

Kou Zhuansha said: "As the husband said, this country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change." ”

Guo Dan smiled and sighed: "Actually, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but this matter is not certain now, plus you are pregnant now, I am afraid that you will be too worried." ”

"But if you don't say it, I'm more worried." Kou Zhuan Shadao.

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Many ministers in the DPRK and China hope to contract Kaifeng Mansion, Zhangde Mansion, and Huaiqing Mansion to me. ”

"Huh?"

Kou Zhuansha looked startled.

"It's true."

Guo Dan told Kou Zhuansha about the matter again.

"I see."

Kou Liansha pondered for a while, and said: "This is clearly a trap, this time they will definitely put forward very harsh conditions, if you are a little careless and make some mistakes, they will definitely hold on." ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad, "But if the husband refuses, they will definitely let the husband pay for the three mansions himself." How good is that? ”

Guo Dan nodded and said: "I know this is a trap, then again, I have contracted so many businesses in the imperial court, and which one is simple, but they underestimated me before, so they didn't really deal with me, and this is not the reason why I don't want to take it." ”

He sighed heavily: "The reason why I refused is because we really don't need it, even if they don't mention those harsh conditions, I don't have the ability to make Kaifeng Mansion the same as Weihui Mansion, making money every day, which is not profitable at all, not to mention that there are still many vassal kings over there." ”

"But they won't give up easily. ”

Guo Dan nodded and said: "So I'm also calculating now, how much money to pay out of it, it's more cost-effective than contracting the three mansions, and at the same time, I also have to make preparations, think about what to do in Kaifeng Mansion, it can make money." ”

In front of Wanli, he said that he was full of pride, and he didn't give much money, but it was very realistic to do business, if there was no way, what should be given still had to be given, and it was natural to take money to eliminate disasters, and he was also calculating how much to give.

But at the same time, he also knew that the other party would not agree so easily, in that case, if the three mansions could bring him huge profits, this would undoubtedly be the best result.

Kou Zhuansha analyzed: "Nowadays, all the trading is concentrated in Weihui Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion is several times larger than Weihui, even if the husband repeats his old tricks, the businessman can't come up with so much money to invest." ”

Guo Dan sighed bitterly: "Even if you can get it, you don't know who to sell the goods you produce, which will inevitably lead to a drop in prices, which will damage the interests of Weihui Mansion, and then merchants will have to reduce costs, which will lead to a decrease in tax revenue." ”

Kou Zhuansha nodded, and said, "Then can you let Marseille go?" ”

Guo Danzhi shook his head and said: "Marseille can only be placed in Liangjing, there are more powerful people in these two places, they are all rich idlers, only they will be willing to spend money to pursue excitement, and Marseille is also a double-edged sword, in the final analysis, that is gambling, if it is opened in Kaifeng Mansion, it may also be because of the enthusiasm of Weihui Mansion." ”

As he spoke, he himself pondered that there would be no non-productive business in the future that could make a lot of money.

Real estate immediately comes to mind.

However, the basis of real estate is urbanization, if there is not much difference between living in the countryside and living in the city, then who will move to the city to live, the population is not concentrated, they will not be able to engage in real estate, and the basis of urbanization is to industrialization, but it is suitable for real estate in Weihui Mansion.

The non-productive sectors in the United States are finance and services.

But these two are actually linked to the industry, and now the communication is very poor, the securities market to move to Kaifeng Province, is meaningless, who would be willing to run from Nanjing to Kaifeng Mansion to speculate in stocks, and the service industry is more difficult, that is based on the entire economic scale to reach a certain level, the real service industry will flourish.

Weihuifu's service industry is just the tip of the iceberg.

Thinking about it, there seems to be no money-making industry in later generations, which is in line with this era, so we have to start from the needs of the present generation.

Guo Dan asked Kou Zhuansha again: "Madam, what do you say is the most common need of people now, in addition to eating, drinking, and Lazar, that is, what kind of money they are willing to pay." ”

"Demand?"

Kou Zhuansha thought for a while and said, "Generally speaking, this is to marry a wife and have children, hope that the son will become famous, and glorify the ancestors." ”

In simple terms, it is the ancestors and descendants.

"I want my son to become famous."

Guo Dan's eyes widened when he heard this.

Kou Liansha hurriedly asked, "Husband, did you think of anything?" ”

Guo Dan was slightly stunned and said, "I don't know, maybe I have a clue, but I still have to think about it carefully." ”

However, the court would not give him much time to think about it.

Good to die or not, during this period, there are not too many things at home and abroad, causing everyone to stare at this matter.

The tax bill of Weihui Mansion has become that hot potato.

Wanli also tried to delay for some time before handing over the tax bill to the household department.

The household department is holding the tax bill, and everyone is confused.

The 160,000 taels that were said to be good, how did it become 200,000 taels.

In other words, Guo Dan earned 90,000 taels in half a year with Weihui Mansion alone.

You must know that Guo Dan still has Marseille on his side, even if he doesn't count the hundreds of thousands of taels of shares in Yaxing, this ability to absorb gold can definitely be said to be rich and rival the country, only Wanli's income can be compared with Guo Dan, but Wanli has to support a lot of people.

This tax bill directly made the emperor poor.

It's also unreasonable.

Soon the news spread, and this jealousy immediately permeated the entire capital.

It's not just the powerful who are jealous, but also the businessmen, and the standard of you, the richest man, is also set very high, and we can only compete for second place in the future.

Merchant.

How can a businessman make so much money.

How do you tell us to face ourselves?

Although they all knew that most of the money belonged to the emperor, the emperor did not admit it, and it was Guo Dan's.

Even if it's the emperor's money, you have to get it, the country is so poor, you are so rich, what kind of system is this.

The entire imperial court, from top to bottom, demanded an increase in the tax revenue of the Weihui Mansion.

Even people of insight such as Wang Jiaping feel that this is too much, they think that money is in businessmen, and it is not of much help to the country, and there is no "inviolability of sacred property" in these years, only the concept of "the whole world, it is not the king's land", and his thinking is very normal.

This money must not be earned by Guo Dan alone.

Guo Dan is not here, and Wanli can't say anything, after all, they are using the guise of the treasury to increase revenue for the treasury, so Wanli went to call Guo Dan, you go and ask for it yourself, see if you want to get it.

"Guo Dan, don't say that we bully the small with the big, even if we are talking about business, this reasonable price increase should be." Wang Xijue said relatively gently.

Guo Dan said: "But the problem is that this is unreasonable. ”

Song Jingsheng snorted: "You alone earn more than 100,000 taels a year, is this reasonable?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Then it depends on how to say it?" ”

Song Jingsheng said: "I want to hear and see." ”

Guo Dan glanced at Wang Xijue and said: "Lord Wang said that in business, it is normal to raise prices, this is not wrong, but Lord Wang has not done business after all, so he has missed this point, whether the price rises or not, it depends on who needs whom more, if you change someone else, you can still earn about the same as me, for me there is competition, then you say that you want to increase the price, of course I will make appropriate concessions."

But now the question is, who else but me? ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the palace were really angry, and neutrals like Rao is Wang Jiaping were extremely angry.

What do you mean?

Do you say we're all garbage?

Guo smiled lightly: "In this world, can you find someone who earns more than me?" I have seen the taxes before Weihui Mansion, as well as the income of the local people, compared to the current Weihui Mansion, it is really backward in all aspects, looking for me to make money, looking for others is to lose money, if it is in business, everyone is equal, then I should open the conditions, I will ask the court, you don't give me a little more, you will ask for another master. Of course, I'm just talking, how can you adults be doing business with me, so I won't ask for any more, this is a blessing. ”

If you dare to show us, we will treat you badly.

Song Jingsheng really wanted to spray Guo Dan's face spittle.

I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless.

Bang!

Without waiting for the ministers to speak, Wanli slapped the table, pointed at Guo Dan, and Long Yan said angrily: "You grass people, dare to speak falsely on top of this hall, are my Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces inferior to you?" ”

Guo Dan hurriedly saluted and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the grass people have no such intention, the grass people are talking about business, only referring to business, not other aspects. ”

The implication is that the merchants, the Manchu Dynasty, the civil and military are not my opponents.

Song Jingsheng immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you also see how arrogant this person is, not keeping the courtesy of dignity and humility, and despising the minister, if he contracts Weihui Mansion to him again, won't it make the world laugh at him, and the court will lose face, and the minister suggests that Weihui Mansion be taken back immediately." ”

"The Qing family has a point."

Wanli said to Guo Dan again: "You heard it." ”

"The grass people hear it."

Guo Dan bowed slightly, and said: "Doing business is about your love and my willingness, since the court is not willing to contract to the grass people, this business will naturally not be able to continue, but you have no jokes, it was the contract signed by His Majesty personally with the grass people, and now the contract is to be revoked, and the grass people should be compensated according to the contract. ”

"Don't worry, I can exchange tens of thousands of taels for the face of the imperial court?"

Wanli snorted angrily, and swept his eyes: "I don't believe that this Manchu Dynasty is inferior to you in both civil and military affairs, with a deadline of half a year, if anyone thinks that they can do better than Guo Dan, I will appoint whoever is the prefect of Weihui Mansion." ”

PS: Fortunately, there were no deaths in that incident yesterday, but the upstairs kept crackling, and it lasted until two or three o'clock in the evening, and I heard that the furniture and kitchen were almost destroyed.

Be a man or be relaxed!
