As the old saying goes: the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

It can be seen that in the idea of moderation, excellent does not mean good, this is a big truth!

Who hates the most?

When all your classmates scored 60 points and you scored 100 points, you are the most annoying.

When you're surrounded by single dogs, and you're hugging left and right, you're the most annoying.

Today's Weihui Mansion is the most annoying, people's lives are not as good as day by day, and your life is getting better and better.

Therefore, it is really a problem about how Weihui Mansion gets along with the surrounding state capitals, if it is not handled well, it may cause a lot of trouble, Wang Jiaping and they are all cautious, but Guo Dan is still blindly hippie smiling, and he will come as soon as he opens his mouth.

Wang Jiaping directly let him out.

With your attitude, is there any need to talk about it?

After Guo Dan went out, Wang Jiaping said: "This kid's attitude is a little weird!" ”

Xu Guo nodded and said, "I have long been aware of it, and he doesn't seem to want to discuss with us. ”

Fang Fengshi stroked his beard and smiled: "I think it's because he doesn't feel that he needs to explain anything to us, he just needs to explain to His Majesty, in other words, he doesn't want us to interfere too much in the affairs of Weihui Mansion." Therefore, I think that regarding the affairs of Weihui Mansion and the surrounding areas, we simply don't care about it, let him handle it himself. ”

Xu Guo frowned and said: "How can this be done, the situation of Weihui Mansion is extremely special, and the surrounding state capitals definitely don't know how to deal with Weihui Mansion, which needs to be reconciled by the imperial court." ”

Fang Fengshi shook his head and said, "We haven't figured out the hidden mysteries in this Weihui Mansion yet, and how we can reconcile the relationship between Weihui Mansion and the surrounding state capitals. If we do too much, if something happens, Guo Dan will splash dirty water on us at that time, that kid is very cunning, we come back this time, he speaks without leaking, and what he says is the same as not saying it. ”

Wang Jiaping nodded slightly, and said: "I think Fang Shangshu is very reasonable, about Guo Dan's 'contract system', we have not fully understood, rashly intervening, I am afraid that it will backfire, then again, we just happened to encounter this matter, if we didn't meet it, we still need Guo Dan to deal with it himself, if he needs the help of the imperial court, then he will naturally write to His Majesty." ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and said: "Moreover, the existence of Weihui Mansion can also make other state capitals reflect on themselves, if they are not forced to do so, where do these people want to leave their hometowns, if they still blindly get by, and do not care about the livelihood of the people, the local people will come to Weihui Mansion sooner or later." ”

Xu Guo and Jiang Yinglan couldn't help but nod slightly.

.....

Over there, Guo Dan returned to the Hot Spring Pavilion, Zhang Cheng had just finished eating, and when he saw Guo Dan coming back, he asked, "How are you talking?" Can you discuss a countermeasure? ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "I don't know, I was kicked out by them." ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Cheng said depressedly: "You offended them again? ”

Guo Dan said with a look of grievance: "No! I didn't even say a word. ”

"Come on! You can offend people with a single word, and you can still say a few words. ”

“.....！”

Guo Dan was speechless.

Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said: "Don't give me sloppy eyes, have you figured out how to deal with this matter, or do you hope that the imperial court will help you deal with it." ”

Guo Dan smiled.

Zhang Cheng said: "What are you laughing at, if you don't want to say it, our family won't ask, and our family doesn't want to cause this trouble." Tsundere turned her head away as she spoke.

"The inside minister misunderstood." Guo Dan hurriedly explained: "If the court wants to take care of it, of course it is to listen to the court, if the court doesn't care, I can handle it myself." ”

"What do you do?"

"On the surface, they must be prevented from entering Weihui's mansion in accordance with the law, so that they will also have an explanation for their neighbors."

Speaking of this, Guo Dan smiled: "Actually, of course, according to the needs of Weihui Mansion, if I need manpower in Weihui Mansion, then let more people in, if not, then don't let go, the initiative is in my hands." ”

"You're a real profiteer."

Zhang Cheng looked at Guo Dan angrily and funny, Guo Dan's meaning was very simple, how good I am, I will do it, and said: "But don't think about this matter too simply, you have offended a lot of people, if you do too well, people will be jealous, and this will also affect their careers, and when they join forces to deal with you, you will not have a good time." ”

Guo Dan put away his cynical smile and said, "It's better not to do this, otherwise, they will die an ugly death." ”

Zhang Cheng snorted: "Your breath is not small!" ”

"If they mess with me, I'll fight them to the end with all my money, and I bet they can't afford to lose."

"Is it money again?"

"That's right!"

"You're really ruthless."

"My little body, if I don't be ruthless, I won't be bullied by them every day."

"Okay, okay, you can do it yourself." Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said: "But you have to remember one thing, no one can control your bankruptcy, but you don't want to make the situation so that even Your Majesty can't clean it up, if it comes to that point, Your Majesty wants to protect you, but he can't protect it." ”

Guo said lightly: "The prime minister's advice, the kid must take it to heart." ”

......

For Wang Jiaping and them, coming back to Weihui Mansion is definitely a unique experience in their lives, and there is no one to entertain them, this is a free trip.

Guo Dan doesn't follow them every day, he is not an official, he has no such obligation, he continues to do his thing, try not to look at the face, what can he say about this face? There is really nothing to say, the reason why Weihui Mansion was able to succeed was because there were no such officials, how could he not discuss it with the minister, it was Wang Jiaping and they had the final say, so what else did he do.

He didn't want to talk to Wang Jiaping and them.

"Uncle, this is just sent by Xinxing, and it is information about agriculture in Xinxiang County."

"Hmm."

Guo Dan took the information from Chenchen's ground, quickly browsed it, and then took out a chart from the box, filled in the data, looked at the chart, and thought about it seriously.

His office style is a capitalist style, looking at data in the room every day, and the people of Xinxing have arrived here one step ahead of him, such as Brother Wang and others were bought by Xinxing, of course, for Xinxing, their main task is to collect data.

And these data are Guo Dan's main means of managing Weihui Mansion.

"This agriculture is still a little too manpower."

Guo Dan frowned suddenly, and said to himself: "Now that commerce has just started, such a distribution is relatively reasonable, if commerce is further developed, then it must absorb labor from outside, but the increase in population will increase the burden of agriculture, it seems that we still have to buy enough grain reserves from those big landlords in Jiangnan as soon as possible." ”

As he spoke, he asked Chenchen again: "Regarding the recruitment notice, how is it going?" ”

Chen Chen hurriedly said: "We all sent fast horses to deliver it, and it is estimated that it has been sent to the Jiangnan area." ”

Guo Dan nodded.

If we want to change this situation, first, we need to buy food, and secondly, we need to improve productivity.

Suddenly, I heard someone outside the house: "Is Captain Guo in the house?" ”

"Yes."

"The boys' team is coming."

"Hurry up, please."

Guo Dan said as he cleaned up the information on the table.

A moment later, Tong Li came to Guo Dan's suite.

"Boys, please be seated, please be seated."

After Tong Li sat down, Guo Dan handed over another cup of hot tea.

Tong Li put the teacup aside and said, "I came here today to ask, how do you plan to deal with the matter of Qimen Town?" ”

Guo Dan hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Wang, didn't they say it?" ”

Tong Li shook his head and said, "I was ordered to come here to help you, and we Jinyi Guards only obey His Majesty's orders, and they have no right to order us." ”

"That's right!" Guo Dan smiled and said: "And I am also here to manage Weihui Mansion by the emperor's order, my task is to revitalize Weihui Mansion, what is beneficial to Weihui Mansion, I will do it." ”

Tong Li looked at Guo Dan suspiciously.

Guo Dan said: "I will ask your father-in-law to go around the area and tell those county officials that our Weihui Mansion will block those people from entering Weihui Mansion, but at the same time, I will also send people over there to recruit some talents that our Weihui Mansion needs." ”

Tong Li pondered a little, nodded slightly, and said, "I will let Wu Guansheng and Chen Xusheng be responsible." ”

Guo smiled and nodded.

With the current grain reserves of Weihui Mansion, the people in the supply territory are already gritting their teeth to support, and it is impossible to let too many people in at this time, and there is no need for the time being, but if it is an elite, it is still very needed.

Guo Dan's foreign policy is to bring craftsmen, technicians and other talents to Weihui Mansion, and he did the same in the capital.

......

Unlike Weihui Mansion, which is full of copper smell, Shanghai County is full of bookish atmosphere, and some scholars can be seen everywhere on the street discussing test questions, researching knowledge, or learning poetry and painting, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are outstanding people.

"Yo! The three Xiucai came. ”

I saw three scholars dressed as young people come to a four-treasure shop, the youngest is only twenty-five or sixteen, and the oldest is only in his early thirties.

The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him.

"Shopkeeper, we want to buy some pen and ink to go back."

The old scholar spoke to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper immediately took out some pen and ink for them to choose from.

Soon, they picked out some pen and ink, and the shopkeeper saw that the amount they needed was much more than usual, so he asked, "The three of you bought so much?" Aren't you going to go far away? ”

"We're going to Taiping Mansion to take the township test soon, so we're going to be more prepared."

"Oops! I wish the three high schools well. ”

"Thank you, thank you."

The older Xiucai suddenly turned his head and looked at the youngest Xiucai standing behind, only to see that the young Xiucai was holding a book and reading it intently, he walked over, looked at the book, and shouted softly: "Zixian." ”

"Huh?" The young Xiucai raised his head and said, "Brother Dong." ”

Xiucai, surnamed Dong, took the book in his hand, which was a copy of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and said: "Zixian, the township exam is coming, you should review the test questions more, or books related to the township exam, instead of reading this kind of book." ”

Another Xiucai also came over and said: "Hyun Zai is right, at present, we still have to focus on the township test, this miscellaneous book is too much, but it is useless, hurry up and choose the pen and ink to use, we will have to go to Wen Shu later." ”

The young Xiucai who was called Zixian smiled, and when he came to the counter, he didn't choose much, all of them chose the cheapest.

After the shopkeeper's bag was finished, he handed it to the young Xiucai, "Xu Xiucai, a total of two coins of silver." ”

"Two money?"

The young man who was called Xu Xiucai couldn't help but grab the money bag around his waist and looked embarrassed.

Dong Xiucai took out two coins of silver, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said to Xu Xiucai: "I'll help you pay first, and then you will give it to me then." ”

Xu Xiucai's face suddenly flushed, and he bowed and said, "Thank you, I'll get it to you as soon as I get home." ”

"Don't worry, let's go quickly." Dong Xiucai smiled.

Just as he was about to go out, Xu Xiucai suddenly stopped and looked at a notice posted next to the door.

The other two had already gone out and saw Xu Xiucai standing there, so they turned back and stood behind Xu Xiucai, looking at the notice.

"Weihui Mansion is recruiting agricultural and water conservancy talents."

"At least a hundred taels a year."

.....

After Xu Xiucai finished reading it, he suddenly returned to the store and asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, who posted the notice at the door?" ”

"I posted it, and I can't help it, but now all the albums that sell five guns must be posted with this notice."

"Is it true that what is written on it?"

"It's all true, you see, there is still the official seal of Weihui Mansion on it, and the person who sent the album asked me to help him pay attention to it. Hehe, but you are already the fifteenth to ask such a question, and the remuneration is higher than that of most officials, which is really unbelievable. ”

Xu Xiucai listened, suddenly picked up the pen and ink he had just bought, and walked outside the store.

"Zixian, where are you going?"

"Two brothers, I suddenly have something to do, I can't go to Wenshu with you, I'm really sorry, if you have money, I'll send it to your house later."

"Don't bother, when we meet next time, you can give it to me again."

......

Then Xu Xiucai got out of the south city gate and came to a very simple farmhouse courtyard in the suburbs.

At this time, an elderly woman was sitting in the courtyard weaving, and suddenly saw her son coming back, and couldn't help but say: "Guangqi, why are you back, didn't you say that you would go to Wenshu with Qichang and Jiru in the afternoon?" ”

This Xiucai's surname is Xu, and his name is Guangqi.

"Mother, I have something to do, I'll tell you later."

Xu Guangqi hurriedly went to the vegetable garden at the back, squatted in front of a small square of soil, looked down at the emerald green leaves, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes shone brightly.

After a while, the woman came over and said, "Guangqi, why did you come here again, you have to go to Taiping Mansion to take the township test immediately, you should read more books, this vegetable garden mother will take care of it, my mother's body is almost good, besides, the melon you planted, you can't eat it, your father almost dug it up last time." ”

Xu Guangqi stood up and said, "Mother, I'm not going to Taiping Mansion." ”

The woman was stunned and said, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to Weihui Mansion."
