Chapter 227 The first step, hollowing out the court(1/2)
Regarding wedding paintings, Guo Dan mentioned them early in the morning, and Wuzhao Guns have been preparing for them, but like other series, the appearance of Marseille has led to being postponed indefinitely. After all, Guo Dan is a capitalist, not an artist, and never talks about feelings, only money. Since Marseille has high efficiency, of course, it is mainly based on Marseille.
However, like Guan Xiaojie and Zhu Lizhi, they care about paintings, not money. If it comes to Mabao, there is no sense of art, so there are special painters responsible for it, and they have been preparing other series.
Especially this wedding painting, I have painted a lot, but I have always been a model. I have not said that any real couple voluntarily devoted themselves to love and art.
"Have their wives come too?"
Guo Dan’s gossip.
Liu Xunmou shook his head and said, "Brother Rong and Lizhi are not married yet. Of course, Princess Lu will not come here. All the people who come here are concubines."
Guo Dan nodded and then smiled and said, "This concubine is here, I think that Princess Lu will come sooner or later."
Liu Xunmou said curiously: "How do you say this?"
Guo Dan said: "You said that if there were paintings of Lu Wang and his concubines hanging on the wall of Lu Wang's Mansion, wouldn't this Xuan Bing seize the lord?"
"It makes sense."
Liu Xunmou nodded and said, "Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Guo Dan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's finish the work first. I'm cold all over now and I need a stove in urgent need." As he said that, he turned to look at Yang Feixu who was standing in the snow, "Is that woman doing ice?"
Liu Xunmou teased: "Maybe you are weak?"
"Depend on!"
Guo Dan rolled her eyes and said, "I don't even have a concubine now. I don't even have a place to make me feel weak!"
"!"
Liu Xunmou was speechless.
The two of them had just climbed the steps of the prize pool hall when they heard a sarcasm, "It's so pitiful to be your groom."
Guo Dan immediately stopped, "Oh! My groom seems to be waiting halfway for me to send someone to help, and almost forgot about this."
Liu Xunmou said: "I will have someone pick him up later."
Guo Dan nodded, suddenly turned around, looked at Yang Feixu, and said with a smile: "Beauty, you won't like my groom anymore, he is a married man."
Bang!
A whip mark suddenly appeared on the steps in front of him.
This woman has a backstage and can't afford to offend her or provoke her. Guo Dan wiped a cold sweat and quickly escaped.
When he arrived at the office, Guo Dan put his face on the stove and swayed left and right. Liu Xunmou also ordered the maid to boil a pot of hot wine for Guo Dan.
"It's so comfortable!"
After drinking a cup of hot wine, Guo Dan recovered and asked Liu Xunmou again: "How is the matter with this land?"
Liu Xunmou said: "The problem is not very big, but there is something you have to decide."
"What's up?"
"It's about those tenants." Liu Xumou said: "We have rented this land back, but what should those tenants do?"
For example, the big landlords like the Duke of England have too much land. Only the ancestral land or some particularly fertile land will be allowed to farm by slaves. Most of the land still chooses to rent it to tenant farmers. Although the employment system has long appeared, these big landlords are unwilling to adopt the employment system, mainly because they are afraid of taking risks.
In the employment system, once there is a natural disaster and man-made disaster, the losses will be borne by the tenant farmers themselves. If they rent it to the tenant farmers, the natural disaster and man-made disaster will be borne by the tenant farmers. This is why, once there is a natural disaster and man-made disaster, countless farmers will lose their money and become displaced, because the tenant farmers usually have to pay rent and cannot save any food. In case of natural disasters, the rent will still have to be paid, and they can only be sold as slaves or escape.
In fact, this incident was a breach of contract, but it was definitely a few high-ranking officials who could occupy the ranch in the court. They would not care about the tenant farmers. If you have the ability, you bid higher than Guo Dan.
Guo Tan asked: "How many households are there in total?"
Liu Xunmou said: "More than 300 households."
Guo Dan pondered for a while and said, "All it is necessary to accept it. Anyway, there are a lot of people on the ranch. But we are not good at doing good deeds. If we do more or do well, we will take more. If we do less or even fail to meet the standards, we will let them get out. They must understand this."
Liu Xunmou nodded.
Guo Dan continued: "The ranch will have to be operated next year, but what I need is not only coolies, but more talents. Whether it is grass planting or milking, I want everything. You can arrange it quickly and recruit talents. Based on the money given by the court, we will give three times the rewards as much as the court gives."
"three times?"
Liu Xunmou said in surprise.
Guo Dan nodded: "Yes, three times."
Liu Xunmou said: "Aren't you trying to compete with the court?"
If you give three times the salary, you will definitely run here!
"Yes."
Guo Dan nodded.
Liu Xunmou was speechless.
You're too naked.
Guo Dan suddenly asked, "How are the clerks who came from Taipu Temple doing now?"
Liu Xunmou was a little stunned and then said, "Not to mention that those clerks now seem to be different. They work harder than the other, and they manage the horse farms in an orderly manner."
“That’s why.”
Guo Tan smiled and said, "It's just you and me here. I might as well tell you directly that talents like them, staying in the court will be the loss of my Ming Dynasty and the loss of each of us, because no matter how good they do in the court, they will not get more. Clerks will always be clerks, but for us, the more they do, the more they get. At that time, they will tell them that three times is just the basis, and let them do the specific rewards themselves. As long as they dare to speak, I am willing to give ten times of rewards."
ten times!
Just keeping a horse, is that?
This really doesn't treat money as money!
Liu Xunmou was really incomprehensible. Although Guo Dan used five guns like this, it was painting, art, and it was understandable. Now that you are raising horses, and you do this like this, it seems a bit like killing chickens and using a ox knife.
He didn't know that for Guo Dan, making money was not a problem. The problem was that he could only play with virtual things, such as investment, mergers and acquisitions, or speculation. He had no skills and could not produce, because in that capital society, it was difficult to create omnipotent talents. Those who engaged in finance were those who worked in finance. If you asked him to build a small factory, even if he graduated from Harvard or Cambridge, if nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely go bankrupt. He really couldn't beat those junior high school students who made a fortune in industry.
However, what is going to be void now cannot last long because there is not enough productivity to allow you to play finance. Wall Street is based on the global industrial foundation, which is why, as long as it was a major industrial power at that time, Wall Street will definitely be affected, no matter which country it is.
The basis of this capital is productivity. Without productivity, there is no way to talk about capital, because the true meaning of capital is to put into production and then squeeze surplus value. Conversely, accumulating capital must promote the development of productivity.
Therefore, as long as it can improve efficiency and make more money, Guo Dan is willing to spend it. Only by making the cake bigger first can he make a profit.
At this moment, a knock suddenly sounded outside the door, "Master Chen is here."
"Please come in."
Chen Ping entered the house and said, "I'm so sorry, sorry, I'm late. Oh, it's really inconvenient to walk on the road. I'm walking and stopping on the road, but I'm so anxious."
Guo Dan jokingly said, "Mr. Chen, it seems that the difference between you and me is Yang Feixu."
"."
Chen Ping looked at Guo Dan with a confused look on his face.
Liu Xunmou laughed.
Now that the land has been resolved, the next step is to start construction. Guo Dan plans to start construction immediately after winter, and he handed over all the entire project to Chen Ping. In fact, many people are fighting for this project, but he ignored it.
The main reason is of course that the dentistry has invested in it, but there is another reason, that is, if it is spread out, no one can grow bigger, but only by growing bigger can we have sufficient capital to promote the development of this industry.
After this talk, Liu Xunmou was full of contempt for Guo Dan. Because according to Guo Dan's design, business is not concentrated. There is a racecourse on both sides of the east and west, a horse market in the north, a club in the south, and a jiaowan field in the middle, most of which were contracted out, and the merchants paid for it.
However, after these were built, three large ranches were built.
He just paid a little money.
"Dan! Scheming!"
Suddenly, he heard a scream. Before Guo Dan could reply, he saw Xu Jirong, Zhu Yili, and Guan Xiaojie breaking in. They didn't have the habit of knocking on the door.
"See the prince." Chen Ping quickly stood up and saluted.
“Go out, go out.”
Zhu Yiliu waved his hand and drove Chen Ping out, then sat in his seat and shook his body, "I'm so cold that I stood there for a long time, hum, I drew a picture."
As he said that, he glared at Xu Jirong.
Xu Jirong laughed and said, "Brother, you brought a concubine here, but I brought six here."
Zhu Yiliu said: "I will bring ten of them next time."
Xu Jirong said: "I will bring eleven."
"Do you have so many concubines?"
"I have grandpa to find it for me, do you have it?"
"!"
Zhu Yiliu didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Damn, have you considered my feelings? Guo Dan coughed lightly and asked, "Young Master Zhu?"
Xu Jirong sat next to Guo Dan and said carelessly: "Zhizhi is standing outside."
"Why?" Guo Dan said curiously.
“He said the snow was cleaner than it was.”
