Except for the opening sentence about the lady, the rest are all dry goods.

Not a word of nonsense.

Guo Dan's speech really exceeded everyone's expectations.

No one thought that Guo Dan would be so fierce, and he would directly smash out a million taels.

So much so that after Guo Dan left, many people were still standing there stupidly.

They still think it's a little unreal.

And Zhou Feng and the other wealthy businessmen immediately ran to find Guo Dan.

First, they want to know if it's true!

They think that Guo Dan may not be able to come up with a million taels!

Secondly, a careful analysis of Guo Dan's subsidy plan actually revolves around their businessmen, not ordinary people, and the welfare of the people is just to ensure that prices do not rise, and that they will not lose their jobs because of this incident.

The main profits are all given to the merchants.

Of course, they want to be able to get a concrete implementation plan right away.

How exactly do we get these profits?

But unfortunately, they all pounced.

Guo Dan did not return to his residence, nor was he in the bank. No one thought that Guo Dan was sitting in the court at this moment to discuss the matter with Wang Yu, the president of the court, and Xue Wenqing, the president of the litigation court.

This is because since the implementation of the new tariff law, everyone seems to have ignored the three courts, after all, the three courts' responsibilities are only to maintain social stability, and they have little to do with money, and they cannot interfere in the policies of the imperial court.

It's useless to look for them.

Court.

"You say... You say it's up to our courts to enact your grant plan? ”

Wang Yu looked at Guo Dan incredulously.

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I have mentioned it again and again before, I hope that our Weihui Mansion can unite as one, and the three courts are the core of the management of our Weihui Mansion, of course I don't want the three courts to suddenly disappear from the people's field of vision in such a time of crisis." On the contrary, I hope that the three courts will stand up in time and stand with the people. In addition, if it is not issued in my own name through the courts, it will more or less lack some credibility, after all, personal prestige and law are two different things. ”

Wang Yu and Xue Wenqing couldn't help but glance at each other.

I think it's so incredible.

Xue Wenqing suddenly got up and bowed: "Captain Guo is high-spirited and bright, self-denial and public service, Xue is really admired, please accept Xue's courtesy." ”

Guo Dan put forward this suggestion, which is naturally very beneficial to the Third Court, after all, this is to send money, not to collect money, and Guo Dan is doing it himself for the kind of thing that offends people.

However, Guo Dan could have announced the entire subsidy plan by himself without going through the court, because this belongs to the treasury, and the finances of Weihui Mansion have always been under the control of Guo Dan.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a high wind and bright festival, self-denial and public service!

Guo smiled lightly: "Dean Xue doesn't need to be like this, I'm still more practical, I'm not taking care of you, let alone giving you charity, this is actually what you have earned through hard work, you have done a very good job over the years, and I am also very satisfied, if I am not satisfied with you, then you don't want to get a tael of silver from me." ”

Xue Wenqing smiled and said: "We are not doing these things to make Captain Guo satisfied, but to satisfy the people and make Weihui Mansion better." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "The people are satisfied, Weihui Mansion is better, this is exactly what I want, otherwise, why would I spend a million taels, this is much more than the money used in the construction of the Third Courtyard!" ”

In fact, Guo Dan's reason for doing this is the same as the reason why he established the Three Courts, that is, because he can't stay here every day, I need to erect the prestige of the Three Courts so that they can better manage this place.

If he portrays himself as a savior, and his prestige overshadows the Three Houses, then there may be a crisis when he is not here.

Naturally, the court was more than happy to accept the request.

As for how the court will promulgate it, even the draft Guo Dan has prepared for them.

In fact, it is to write the words that Guo Dan said into regulations in the name of the law and promulgate them.

Although it is not really a law, it has the force of law.

Guo Dan or not gives this money, you can sue him.

But there is one point that is not included in the article, and that is about the amount of one million taels.

And Guo Dan's explanation is very straightforward, I have to transfer this million taels from all over the country, and I can't take out one million taels at once, so if this is listed as a regulation, the court will inevitably intervene in the finances.

You have to make sure that I have a million taels, and you have to check the accounts, ask this, ask that.

This is unacceptable to Guo Dan, not to mention that the court does not have the power to inspect taxes, even if there is, this million taels is not only tax money, but also Guo Dan's personal money, why should the court check private accounts.

The court just needs to make sure that these subsidies reach everyone.

That's what the courts are supposed to do.

If Guo Dan only took out 990,000 taels without paying attention, whether the court wants to convict Guo Dan is a bit ridiculous!

This is not taking cash, this kind of subsidy.

The court also felt that Guo Dan was reasonable, but in fact, they were not very good at calculating these accounts, and maybe they had to ask Qian Zhuang to help them calculate, so why bother.

It doesn't matter how much it is, what matters is whether the subsidy is really distributed to everyone.

And they agreed.

On the same day, according to Guo Dan's draft, the court listed the subsidy plan as a regulation and announced it to the public.

The people of Weihui Mansion have become accustomed to the authority of the court, and any regulations issued by the court must be followed, otherwise, the pickets will come to you to talk to you about the day, and ask for warmth.

This undoubtedly reassures the entire Weihui Mansion.

Moreover, businessmen don't need to go to Guo Dan anymore, it's useless to ask Guo Dan now, it's already written very clearly, do you want Guo Dan to break the law?

Businessmen are now busy calculating what advantages these subsidies will bring to themselves.

Textile workshops.

"Master, it's out, it's out."

An account clerk held an account book, walked quickly to Qin Zhuang excitedly, handed the account to Qin Zhuang and said: "Master, if it is calculated according to our current production situation, our price has a great advantage in any place, and even better than before." ”

"Really?"

Qin Zhuang excitedly borrowed the account and looked at it carefully, and after a while, he suddenly frowned, "If we go back to the production method before the adjustment, our price is about the same as before." ”

The bookkeeper nodded and said: "Yes, because most of the clothes that were relatively poor in the past were bought in Weihui Mansion, and this part does not involve too many tariffs, but the silk materials we use to sell clothes in other places are very good, and we have to pay a lot of tariffs back and forth." ”

Qin Zhuang's brows tightened, and after a while, he nodded straight and said, "I understand, I understand." Originally... It turned out that he had been planning to do this for a long time. ”

The other merchants were also very similar to Qinzhuang's situation, if according to the adjusted production plan, the price of their goods would become extremely advantageous in various places, but if they went back to the pre-adjustment period, their prices would not be advantageous at all.

It can be seen that Guo Dan is by no means impulsive, the reason why he went to various workshops every day a few days ago to ask them about their production plans, costs and profits, and give them advice is all for a purpose.

His advice was based on the entire subsidy scheme.

In other words, Guo Dan had already thought about doing this before he came, or he had such a plan.

At the same time, the money bank was crowded!

Those merchants who were about to leave Weihui's mansion, or who had already taken the money order and did not leave, hurried to the bank, returned the money order, and took out the silver.

In other words, they intend to stay in Weihui Mansion.

Reduced rents, no interest-free loans, halved transportation costs.

Fools will leave Weihui Mansion.

On that day, many people had already received real money subsidies from the bank.

Almost all of these people are businessmen who have come to Weihui Mansion to rent houses and do business in the past three months, and they can come to the money bank to get the subsidy they deserve by virtue of the deed tax receipt.

The money bank cashed out on the spot.

Although there are not many people in this part of the people, and the money is not very much, it is all real money, and it has been taken out, which makes everyone believe in the entire subsidy plan.

Jiang Yinglan sat in the tea shop on the edge of the bank, looking at the merchants who came out with the silver, his face full of confusion.

What a lot of money!

No government has ever done that.

It was an eye-opener for him!

This confusion is confusion, but in his heart he still gave Guo Dan a thumbs up, this guy is really unusual, you say that he is cunning, treacherous, and greedy for money, but so many people in the world who claim to be upright will not do this.

Guo Dan is not a person with millions of taels, whether he can get one million taels or not, and some are enough.

"I see!"

Huang Daxiao suddenly exclaimed: "Guo Dan is gambling." ”

"Bet?"

Jiang Yinglan was curious: "What are you betting on?" ”

Huang Daxiao said: "Guo calmly knows that the new tariff law will actually hurt the interests of some powerful people, and the reason why the government and the opposition support the new tariff law is to deal with him, and he gambles that the court will not be able to support it first, I estimate that the one million taels are all scaremongering, and he can't take out so much money at all." ”

Jiang Yinglan suddenly realized, frowned, and said, "You are right, it is very possible." ”

As he spoke, there was a slight sadness on his face.

Because he also believes that what Huang Daxiao said is very likely to happen.

The new tariff law not only imposes taxes on the rich in disguise, but also harms the interests of officials and Cao Yun.

But that's not something to be happy about.

Huang Daxiao said: "No, we have to tell the capital about this place immediately, so as not to let them fall for Guo Dan's tricks." ”

........

And this time, Aunt Xu and Huang Daxiao have the same opinion.

"Are you taking a gamble?"

Aunt Xu asked Guo Dan.

Guo Dan did not deny it, and asked directly: "How much hope do you think I have for success?" ”

Aunt Xu shook her head and said, "No." ”

Guo Dan frowned and said, "The layman has confidence in those powerful people? ”

Aunt Xu was very worried: "One million taels sounds like a lot, but for a huge state capital, how long can it last, you must have more than me, and those powerful people's methods of collecting wealth are not just tariffs and luck, as long as they see your intentions, I believe they can hold on longer than you." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said: "The people above may be able to hold out for a year or two, but the people below may not be, I don't believe they can bear it." ”

Aunt Xu shook her head and said: "But the people below, they can't affect the overall situation, even if you have a point, I still don't agree with you doing this, what you take out is real money, and the court has no policy, even for those powerful people, you are actually hurting people with your own, and if it becomes a protracted war, then you will definitely lose." ”

Guo Dan said in a low voice: "To put it mildly, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, our dynasty has played the winning situation countless times to end in a big failure, I think as long as you dare to gamble with the imperial court, it is possible to win, at least five or five, so why not bet." ”

At this moment, a servant walked in and bowed, "Uncle, Li Tong asks to see you." ”

Guo Dan snorted: "This guy is very diligent in asking for money. Let him in. ”

Aunt Xu also stood up in time, "I'll go back to the house first." ”

When she went out, she happened to see Li Tong walking towards this side anxiously, and thought to herself, it seems that he also thinks that this is too risky, could it be that Guo Dan really wants to gamble on this, but this is too risky.

She couldn't figure it out for a while.

Li Tong came to the hall, made a hasty salute, and couldn't wait to ask: "Proprietor, do you really want to take out 500,000 taels to subsidize transportation?" ”

Guo Dan said: "What do you think?" ”

"I think this... Is the proprietor thinking deeply? Li Tong really said cautiously.

Your money is also earned, not from the sky, it's just such a pure subsidy, no one can stand it!

Guo smiled lightly: "Maybe the opponent is more difficult than us, I firmly believe that the opponent will fall before us." ”

Li Tong saw that Guo Dan was very resolute, and said: "But... But the proprietor, you only allocated 100,000 taels to me. ”

At first, he thought that 100,000 taels was already a very exaggerated exaggeration.

But now he felt that the 100,000 taels were too little.

Guo Dan said relaxedly: "You take it first, this money is not enough, you tell me again, I will allocate the money to you immediately." But you have to remember to spend as much money as you can on manpower, and if you don't have to, you can save as much as you can. ”
