Chapter 203: Building Four Coffins
Bang!
"Presumptuous."
Shen Shixing suddenly slapped the table angrily, pointed at Guo Dan and said: "You are a yellow-mouthed child, you dare to make a big statement in front of this Shoufu, can't you be cured by the real Shoufu." ”
"The grass people know their mistakes, and the grass people know their mistakes. Shousuke-sama forgives sins. ”
Guo Dan was so cowardly that he stood up directly, arched his hands again, and bent over, and Guo Dan, who was talking eloquently, was like two people.
Shen Shixing was stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to expect this kid to be so intimidating, and asked, "You also know that you are afraid!" ”
"Scared, scared." Guo Danwei nodded straightly.
Shen Shixing asked again: "Since you know that you are afraid, why do you dare to go against this Shoufu repeatedly?" ”
Guo Dan said: "Caomin is a businessman, and money still has to be earned. ”
The corners of Shen Shixing's mouth twitched, and he snorted coldly: "I'm afraid that you have made money, but you have no life to spend." ”
Guo Dan said: "But the grass people are more afraid of their lives but have no money to spend." ”
Shen Shixing was stunned and said, "Then do you want money or death?" ”
Guo Dan said: "To live you have to make money, this is the nature of grass people." ”
Shen Shixing was so angry that he was happy, and he felt that this kid was soft and hard, so he only said: "The old man has really seen a pure businessman like you for a long time!" ”
Guo Dan laughed dryly.
"But she has a point." Wang Jiaping, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly sighed: "Xing, the people are suffering; Death, the people are suffering. ”
Guo Dan opened his mouth and closed it again.
Shen Shixing said: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”
Wang Jiaping also squinted at Guo Dan.
Guo Dan shook his head and said, "Don't say it, don't say it." ”
Shen Shixing snorted: "If the old man wants to cure your sins, just what you just said is enough to cure your sins, and it doesn't hurt if you say more." ”
Guo Dan glanced at Shen Shixing, hesitating.
Wang Jiaping smiled: "Say it." ”
Guo smiled lightly and said: "In fact, the grass people are just to Lord Wang's sentence 'Xing, the people are suffering; Death, the people suffer. There is a slightly different view. ”
"Oh?"
Wang Jiaping said: "You said to listen to it." ”
Guo Dan said: "What the grass people want to say is, who is not bitter? For example, Lord Wang has also studied hard for more than ten years and struggled for more than ten years to have today's status, does Lord Wang feel bitter during this period? It can be seen that this suffering is not the key, the key lies in hope and despair, if the people endure hardship, no matter how hard they try, they cannot improve their lives, this will undoubtedly make people desperate, not bitter but also bitter. But if the people can improve their lives by enduring hardships and working hard, then there will be no hardships. ”
"Bitter is not bitter......."
Wang Jiaping nodded slightly and said, "You are very right, but in fact, our ancestors have told us this truth thousands of years ago. At the beginning, Qin was able to destroy the Six Kingdoms, one of the main reasons was that the Qin State was good at punishment, as long as anyone could make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, he could improve his own life, and even be promoted, and the other six countries were all divided into high and low, so the combat effectiveness of the Qin army was far superior to that of the Six Kingdoms. ”
In fact, this is also the problem that the Ming Dynasty is currently encountering, after hundreds of years of development, the upper class is more and more, and the class has been solidified, then they have more and more resources, the people have less naturally, and the people are impossible to obtain resources from the upper class through hard work.
This is the essence of the inevitable demise of feudal society, because the ruling class will only become larger and more greedy, and sooner or later the people will not be able to support them.
Shen Shixing asked, "Now that you are aware of this problem, do you have any ways to improve it?" ”
Guo smiled lightly: "Lord Shoufu really thinks highly of the grass people, the grass people are just a businessman, but they don't understand this policy of governing the country. ”
"But you're pointing out the problem." Wang Jiaping looked at Guo Dan with interest, and said: "In this way, you give us a reason not to close Marseille, don't talk about your contract, it's just your opportunistic tricks." ”
Guo Dan sighed for a while: "My Marseille is to make people willing to raise horses for the court, and they will not complain, and the court is forcing the people to raise horses." ”
Shen Shixing and Wang Jiaping glanced at each other, and shook their heads with a wry smile.
This reason is simple, but it is a big truth, which they cannot refute, because the Ma Zheng of the Ming Dynasty did bring too much pain to the people, so that they could not continue in the future.
Guo Dan continued: "Although Marseille has this or that problem, but everything has pros and cons, Marseille also has many benefits, the grass people also said before, Marseille needs a lot of people to do things, which can bring livelihood to the people, and at the same time make money flow, pass through everyone's hands, not fixed in one place, this is the most important, only when money flows, the country can operate normally, if it is solidified, it will be bad." ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and said: "So, please don't make judgments about the two adults, and give the grass people a year, whether it is good or bad, and then we will talk about it." ”
Shen Shixing made eye contact with Wang Jiaping for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, we will give you a year, if we find out that your Marseille will only bring harm to the country and the people, we will still close your Marseille, and your contract will not work at that time." ”
Guo Dan was silent.
Shen Shixing said: "What? You don't believe the old man's words? ”
Guo Dan said: "Whether it works or not, the contract is the lifelong belief of the grass people, and the grass people will also defend the contract to the death." ”
The implication is that if you come less, breaking the contract is breaking the contract, and I will not shorten the term of the contract.
"We'll see." Shen Shixing sneered, stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, "Scholar Wang, please." ”
Wang Jiaping also stood up and said, "Lord Shoufu, please." ”
"Grass people send off two adults."
Shen Shixing glanced back, and asked Wang Jiaping again, "What do you think of Scholar Wang?" ”
Wang Jiaping said with a solemn face: "In fact, before this, I was resolutely opposed, but I have to say that what he said is also very reasonable, not to mention the stakes between the two, the current situation in the DPRK and China, I am afraid that it will not be easy to improve Ma Zheng, so it is better to let him try." ”
It's still the previous problem, if they want to take over, they will definitely encounter great resistance, the other party will definitely not agree easily, in the end, it will be passable, nothing has changed, if Guo Dan does it, there is an advantage, that is, it can be implemented, because as long as their cabinet is silent, then there is no way to take Guo Dan with the Yanguan Group alone.
Of course, Shen Shixing also knows the difficulty of wanting to reform in the DPRK and China, because Zhang Juzheng is still liquidated, and the reason is that Zhang Juzheng's reform has hurt the interests of many people, so the minister of the DPRK and China is unwilling to carry out reforms, and said: "Then let him try it." ”
......
But for Guo Dan, things are very simple, one word, money.
He is not a politician, he doesn't understand this, he only knows that if a businessman wants to do politics, then he must have enough money to be able to influence policy, and now, he can only rely on Wanli to deal with them, the only thing he has to do is to do things beautifully and not let them find excuses.
However, this episode did not affect the people's enthusiasm for Marseille.
Today's streets and alleys are all talking about Marseille, although there were a lot of people who lost money yesterday, but most people are talking about those who win, a dozen taels to win thousands of taels, which is really exciting.
However, Shilin is no longer secretly resisting, but strongly opposing Marseille, but the sense of anticipation is far greater than before the first game.
As soon as the second issue of the horse newspaper appeared, it was immediately looted, Shilin was helpless about it, although they controlled public opinion, but their public opinion is about morality, morality is constraint, which is disliked by the laity, but money is full of temptation, and it is the favorite of the laity.
In addition, Guo Dan immediately allocated money to do good deeds, which gave everyone a reason to fight back against Shilin, we are not gambling, we are doing good.
I can't stop it at all.
This Marseille is so sensational, but the supporting measures of the racecourse have not kept up, and the people who go to Marseille are all rich or expensive, but there is nothing around, just a few greenhouses.
The construction of a racecourse is also imminent.
Broker.
"Virtuous nephew."
Chen Ping looked at Guo Dan with an unnatural expression.
Guo Dan pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "The staff is really calm, now the first phase of the project is about to be completed, but the staff will come to me to discuss the second phase of the matter, of course I know that the staff wants to reduce the price, but there is no need to press to death, as long as it is lower than the usual cost, then it will be fine, this transaction, the staff has to make money." ”
Chen Ping was extremely embarrassed when he heard it, and he snorted for a while before he said: "Virtuous nephew, I won't tell you, it's not that I'm lowering the price now, but... It's that they're raising prices. ”
"Price increase?"
Guo Dan was stunned for a moment and said: "Don't buy if the price increases, there are so many timber merchants, I don't believe that they have all increased their prices." ”
Chen Ping nodded and said, "It's all rising." ”
Guo Dan frowned and said, "It's all rising?" What's going on? ”
Chen Pingdao: "I guess some people fancy the fact that the virtuous nephew wants to build a pasture and needs a lot of pasture, so they speculate on the price of timber. Alas... I also blame me, I didn't think of this at the beginning, I should have bought the wood first and kept my own wood, otherwise I wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament. ”
The timber in his hands had been used up in the first phase of the project, and now he had to buy it.
But in fact, this is also to blame Guo Dan, Guo Dan is in a hurry to start work, and he actually has no time to buy the ranch.
Guo Dan said: "Have you found out who is hoarding wood?" ”
Chen Ping said: "It may be related to the four official teeth, but no evidence has been found yet." ”
"The Four Official Teeth?" Guo Dan showed a hint of fear on his face, and asked again, "How much has it risen?" ”
Chen Ping said: "It's three times the usual price. ”
"Three?"
Guo Dan couldn't help but be shocked, and then he thought for a while, and said: "If you want to do it at this price, you will get very little profit!" ”
Chen Ping said with a sad face: "Yes, if you buy wood at this price, they will make the money, so I haven't agreed." ”
The four official teeth are calculated to increase the price, not to say that the cost is completely exceeded, but they are just squeezing Chen Ping's profit margin, giving him a little money to earn, of course Chen Ping will not give in easily, dare to love me in vain.
Guo Dan frowned and said, "Can we go to Jiangnan to buy it ourselves?" ”
Chen Ping said: "It's not impossible, but it will take at least a year, if it is really the work of the four major officials, it may still be hindered, after all, they control the trade between Jiangnan and the capital." ”
Guo Dan said: "This is not good, this is not only about Marseille, but also about Ma Zheng, even if it is a year, I can't afford to wait!" ”
Chen Ping was also a little scared in his heart, the court blamed it, it was not money that could solve it, and said depressedly: "Virtuous nephew, this is really unbearable, otherwise, three times will be three times, and we will buy it too." ”
"Of course not."
Guo Dan said: "If you buy timber at this price, then I might as well give you a lower price, but you also have to make money." ”
Chen Ping nodded his head, this money is not earned by him alone, and the tooth bank has also become a shareholder!
Guo Dan thought for a while, and said: "Let's take a step back, make a little less, and buy at twice the price." ”
Chen Ping nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk to them again." ”
But there is not the slightest confidence between the words, it is obvious that the other party is premeditated, and the price has also been accurately calculated, and it is difficult to bargain.
"Hmm."
Guo Dan nodded.
After Chen Ping left, Guo Dan leaned back, his depressed expression immediately disappeared without a trace, and said with a smile: "Wood for coffins, silk for longevity, perfect." ”
