After Zhang Shifu and other wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan were hit hard, their printing workshops were also difficult to maintain.

Universities are also unable to produce journals.

Because of the loss of a large number of students and the fact that many students have gone home, the newspaper business is not good.

Guo Dan, who has deep pockets, naturally took advantage of the situation to buy their printing workshop, once again monopolizing the printing industry in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Soon, Yinuo University soon published an issue of Yinuo Journal, which had not been published for a long time.

And it is given free of charge to various restaurants and tea shops.

The name of the article is called "Real Gold is Not Afraid of Fire", which was written by Li Zhen himself.

The whole article is silent about the universities, and it is all about explaining that when the crisis came, the teachers of Yinuo University stuck to their posts and were unmoved, and the students of Yinuo University were also studying hard and did not listen to the things outside the window.

That's what schooling is.

Pure education has nothing to do with money or anything.

This is the spirit of Yinuo Academy.

No crisis can crush such an institution, because no crisis can destroy a heart for learning and stop the pursuit of truth.

To sum up, there is only one piece of gold for all the middle schools in Kaifeng Prefecture, and that is ---- Yinuo School.

As soon as this article came out, there was a lot of scolding.

Do you want to order Bilian, don't you count it?

Isn't the reason why your Yinuo School is safe and sound is because Guo Dan has a lot of money?

You're talking nonsense with your eyes open!

And Yinuo University immediately published another article.

"Superficial"

It satirizes those sour voices, when money becomes the only criterion for measuring learning, and the survival of institutions lies in learning, not money, that is only secondary.

The students and teachers of Yinuo Academy also fought back, and our journal praised us, and it was your business.

Are you as sour as lemons?

They all said that even if Yinuo University did not help them at that time, they would insist on staying at Yinuo University to study, instead of choosing to run away when the situation was not good, as students from some colleges did.

As soon as these two articles came out, they immediately aroused a sense of glory among the teachers and students of Yinuo University.

We are the number one university.

At this time, Yinuo University announced that it would expand its enrollment on a large scale and various incentives, the most important of which was the "Genius Plan", which said that it would recruit students nationwide and recruit all the world's talents to Yinuo University.

There are really a lot of students who go to take the entrance examination of Yinuo University, because those with excellent grades can get the support of scholarships, regardless of whether they really agree with Yinuo University in their hearts, but if they can get the scholarship, then they can study in Kaifeng Mansion with peace of mind, without worrying about food and clothing.

For the sake of tuition, they began to study mathematics desperately, to study economics.

When the other universities saw it, they were so angry that they almost vomited blood.

He also said that money is a secondary reason, look at your plans, which has nothing to do with money.

Shameless!

But that's the biggest headache for them right now, because they're short of money right now, and they're struggling to even print newspapers and magazines.

They can only scold with their mouths.

Although it was a match, at least it brought a little vitality to Kaifeng Mansion, and the two sides began to argue again.

However, Yinuo University will not tell them fairness this time, Yinuo University will only publish articles by students or teachers of Yinuo University, and nothing else, I will not print the money you give, and you will print it yourself if you have the ability.

Although the opponent is outnumbered, it is no match for the power of technology.

Yinuo University began to boast about its own educational philosophy and its curriculum, and said that the medical school, how many people the medical students saved in this crisis, which shows how great this science is.

Anyway, it's all kinds of blowing.

The universities gradually realized that this time Guo Dan was real, and he not only wanted to beat the water dogs, but also to subvert traditional Confucianism.

Because when Guo Dan debated with them in the past, he also used Confucianism to wrap it, but this time they didn't mention Confucianism at all, in a word, arithmetic is good!

The hungry wolf finally bared its fangs.

Frightened, they began to huddle again to keep warm.

Unlike before, Guo Dan did not show up this time, nor did he publish any articles, this toothless tiger can't make his own move, he can actually leave a long time ago, but he needs to wait here for the prefect of Ruzhou to come.

After a few days, Qi Wenxiu, the prefect of Ruzhou, rushed to Kaifeng Mansion in a hurry.

It was quite courteous, and there was no meaning of domineering at all, almost treating Guo Dan as an ambassador.

You must know that not long ago, Qi Wenxiu was desperately impeaching Guo Dan.

It can also be seen that they were anti-Guo Dan businessmen at the beginning, and now that their identity has changed, their attitude has suddenly changed 180 degrees.

The atmosphere of the conversation was quite good.

Guo Dan will invest 50,000 taels in Ruzhou, of course, these 50,000 taels are not all, these 50,000 taels are just the money for cooperation with Duan Changcun, and it is Duan Changcun who goes there to open a workshop, but Guo Dan accounts for seventy percent of the shares.

The demand was to monopolize the kilns in Ruzhou and exchange high wages for tax exemption from all kilns.

The reason Guo Dan also patiently explained to Qi Wenxiu.

This money has to go to the hands of the government, and the government has no way to use it, either they are greedy, or they are put in the post station to eat and drink, if you want this, you don't need to find a way, you are doing a good job in the economy of Ruzhou, you came to me, then to the hands of the porcelain craftsman, the porcelain craftsman must buy clothes, buy food, they no longer produce and clothes, everything needs to be bought, so as to stimulate the economy.

For Guo Dan, the cost has not changed, but today's government is not very good at engaging in the economy, and it is better to give the money to the people if they put it in their hands.

Qi Wenxiu almost agreed, he only had one small condition, that is, he asked Guo Dan to try his best to recruit those people who were already homeless and had land, and you couldn't recruit them.

He doesn't know how to do the economy, but he knows how to calculate taxes, and if Guo Dan invests in the local area on a large scale, he can provide a livelihood for many poor people, contribute to public security and stability, and reduce the cost of maintaining law and order for the government, and these people are already bankrupt and can't pay taxes.

If they can make money, then they can pay taxes, and in fact some of this money will still be taken by the government.

Another part was earned by the big landlords, because they needed to buy food.

As soon as Qi Wenxiu left on the front foot, Yang Feixu handed Guo Dan a secret letter from Fuguang.

"Three?"

Guo Dan was surprised.

Yang Feixu nodded and said: "Because almost all the porcelain in Jingdezhen this year has to be shipped to Luwangfu, it has led to a sudden shortage of porcelain in the coastal areas, and the export price has been three times that of the beginning of the year. ”

"It's really timely!"

Guo Dan laughed.

This is mostly the credit of Wanli, he originally spent hundreds of thousands of taels to buy Jingdezhen's private porcelain, and Wanli also sent all the official porcelain to Luwangfu, which directly helped Guo Dan monopolize the entire porcelain industry.

It also directly led to the lack of porcelain on the market.

But to say that the lack of porcelain will affect people's livelihood, it is pure bullshit, the people have nothing to do with porcelain fart, as long as they can get paid, this game, Wanli and Guo Dan can play to their heart's content.

At this time, a servant walked in, "The proprietor, the landlord of Liang asks to see." ”

"What is he doing here?"

Guo Dan muttered and said, "Please let him in." ”

After a while, I saw Liang Yan hurriedly walk in, "Guo Dan, no, Consultant Guo, what do you mean by that liquor tax?" ”

Guo Dan was stunned and said, "What liquor tax?" ”

"Don't you know? It's the melon liquor tax, and the court said it was you asking for it. ”

Liang Yan said excitedly.

"Oh, the melon wine."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "This is what I requested, please sit outside the Liang Yuan." ”

Liang Yan sat down comfortably, and said excitedly: "This wine tax is too unfair, pumpkin is cheap, and pumpkin winemaking is tax-free, but we still have to increase taxes for winemaking, and if it goes on like this, my winery will have to close." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "You can buy wine from outside and sell it!" ”

Liang Yan said: "Why should I buy wine from outside. ”

Guo Dan said: "Liang Yuanwai, you must know that whether it is Kaifeng Mansion or Weihui Mansion, a large amount of grain must be consumed every year to make wine, but at the same time, Weihui Mansion needs to import a large amount of grain from outside every year, and I have to give a lot of freight subsidies for every boat of grain, the reason is very simple, this grain is heavy and cheap, and the key is not to sell grain at a high price.

But selling alcohol is profitable.

However, after this crisis, it can be seen that food is very important, and a lack of food will lead to unrest, so I will make a series of adjustments.

Not only is the sweet melon wine-making tax-free, but I will also give some exemptions for other fruit wines, but if you use grain to make wine, you will have to pay a high tax, which will definitely be higher than the cost of buying wine from outside.

In the next three years, I want to ensure that the four provinces are not only self-sufficient in food, but also surplus. ”

If it was before, Liang Yang would have scolded him a long time ago, but now he doesn't dare, Guo Dan's status is not what it used to be, and now that he is a new official, he can't afford to provoke him.

"But it's not fair to us."

Liang Yan said excitedly.

Guo smiled lightly: "Everyone is the same, and no one gets any benefits." ”

"Zhou Feng!"

Liang Yan said: "I wondered before, why did Zhou Feng Xiao'er love that gourd, he bought most of our Kaifeng Mansion in the past few days, and at the same time built ten large wineries on the border of Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, and he was also buying wineries everywhere. ”

"So exaggerated?"

Guo Dan was slightly startled, and muttered in his heart, this guy is going to take off!

Liang Yan said: "Don't say it, he is an unpredictable prophet. ”

Guo Dan hesitated for a moment, and said: "Yes, he knew it in advance, because he first developed the technology of using pumpkin to make wine, and I gave him a generous policy." ”

Liang Yan immediately asked, "Is this fair to us?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Of course fair, if you develop this brewing technology first, I will give you the same help, I have said more than once, technology development is the most profitable, this money should be earned by Zhou Feng."

However, you can also quickly study how to use pumpkin to make wine, I did not say that he is only allowed to use pumpkin to make wine, in addition, most of the land where pumpkin is planted in Kaifeng Province used to be barren wasteland, and now it is used to grow pumpkin, which is an extra profit, and you big landowners can also make a lot of money even if you sell pumpkins.

As for the grain you used to make wine, you can sell it as grain, but now you really don't have to worry about selling, even if your winery closes, you have nothing to lose. ”
