There is nothing to say!

There's nothing to say!

As Guo Dan said, he bears all risks.

The first thing to do is the cost. The higher the cost of investment, the greater the risk.

Nowadays, houses are ready-made. If you have tables and chairs, you can open the door immediately without investing money in construction. This greatly reduces the investment cost. If it doesn't work, then you can just withdraw it and you won't lose much. After all, they don't have to pay any taxes.

But if it succeeds, the profit will be very considerable and you can enjoy the taste of being a businessman.

If you don’t try this, you’d better go farming than farming.

But judging from this transaction, Guo Dan is the contractor and has to cover taxes. The profit is only so much. If they are given to them, what should Guo Dan do?

Therefore, after Zhou Feng and the others left, Kou Weisha immediately said: "Husband, you have exempted all the taxes. What are you giving to the court?"

Kou Shouxin also nodded and said, "Nephew, I really can't understand anything you do?"

They are very sensitive to taxes. As ordinary people, it is very terrifying that they cannot afford taxes.

“This account is not difficult to calculate at all.”

Guo Dan picked up his pen, walked to the white cloth on the wall, drew a circle, and said, "Suppose this was the tax before Weihui Mansion, and we exempted the customs and bore tax, and the municipal tax was reduced..."

As he said, he painted some shadows in the circle, "This is the shadow part that is what my father-in-law and his wife are worried about. But at the same time, Zhou Feng and his friends also have extra investments, which did not exist in the past.

Moreover, exempting so many taxes will inevitably attract more people, they need services, they need to buy and sell, which will incur more labor costs, and according to the rules I set, more labor costs will induce more taxes."

Kou Weisha suddenly realized: "I understand that although everyone pays less taxes, if more people pay taxes, the total tax will not be reduced."

“It’s more than that.”

Guo Dan smiled and suddenly stroked, saying, "According to my understanding, the biggest expenditure of each prefecture is ** and waste. I have checked the expenditure of Weihui Prefecture. The expenditure on the post station alone accounts for more than 10% of the total tax collection. How much do you think those officials have to eat every year? There are other things, such as the canal transport. After we contract, we do not need any canal transport. The Yashang just goes to the Ministry of Revenue to pay, and the money earned there can be invested."

“……!”

Kou Weisha and Kou Shouxin were stunned when he heard this.

They really didn't expect this. If the canal transportation was not needed, how much money would it have to be saved.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "As long as we save all the money and do some meaningful things, half a year will be enough to restore Weihui Mansion. Of course, our goal is to make money. If so many businessmen invest in Weihui Mansion and give us the operation, the commission is really not a little bit. Moreover, we can also carry out any business we want to carry out. The profits here are inexhaustible and inexhaustible."

Kou Weisha said: "But this inn is used to entertain passing officials, how can this money be saved?"

Guo Dan said: "The Weihui Mansion has no official government. Why do they come here? I will let His Majesty's orders and let them take a detour. Anyway, these officials are free to eat and drink and don't pay. When they come, they will only bring losses. Apart from that, there is nothing else."

When Kou Shouxin heard this, he said regretfully: "It's a pity that only one year."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "A year later, without my nod, no one dared to come to Weihui Prefecture to be the magistrate."

“Why?”

"Because I will raise the standards to a level beyond their ability. As long as I don't help, whoever becomes the magistrate will immediately turn a fuss. This is very eye-catching, and Your Majesty and King Lu will definitely blame you."

"is that so?"

Kou Shouxin smiled and laughed. He was actually immunized from Guo Dan's contract. He just knew how to contract this prefecture.

Kou Weisha suddenly asked, "By the way! Husband, you just said that all the houses are ready-made and better than those in Beijing. What's going on? Although Weihui Mansion is in chaos, the local restaurants and workshops are all private. Are you planning to buy them all? Even if you buy them, they are not as good as those in Beijing?"

Guo Tan smiled and said, "The huge Lu Wang Mansion is there, no matter how many workshops you can provide."

"Lu Wang Mansion?"

Kou Weisha's phoenix eyes widened.

Kou Shouxin was also surprised and said, "Son-in-law, aren't you going to convert Lu Wang Mansion into a restaurant and workshop? This... how can this work?"

King Lu is a great devil. If you touch his Lu Wang Mansion, he will take your life.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "This was caused by Lu Wang. He could not bear no responsibility at all. I will take it all. Even if I don't need it, I have to let him hand over the Lu Wang Mansion. I will use the rent collected every year to expand their Lu Wang Mansion. I will not help him pay the money."

Kou Weisha asked, "Can King Lu agree?"

Guo Dan said: "I don't know if you agree or not, I just know that he is no longer qualified to refuse."

......

These merchants were so shocked by this, not to mention the officials and literati.

Because not all officials can participate in the Wu Dynasty, they usually require ministers to participate, and many civil servants do not participate in the Wu Dynasty.

These civil servants are precisely those who only know how to talk about war on paper. They study etiquette, morality, character, and guidance every day. When they hear this news, they feel that the sky is about to fall.

In the afternoon of that day, more than 200 people knelt outside the Meridian Gate and asked Wanli to take back his life.

This is absolutely impossible.

"Everyone, get up first, don't kneel."

Zhang Cheng walked up to them in a whisk in his hand.

An old man with white hair and beard said, "If Your Majesty does not take back his life, I will never wait."

Zhang Cheng said: "Your Majesty has said that as long as you have a way to restore the finances of Weihui Mansion within one year, so that the local people can live and work in peace and prosperity, and pay full taxes, they will immediately withdraw their cooperation with Guo Dan. As for the construction of Luwang Mansion, they can all be slowed down."

"How can these two things be confused? How can we contract them to a businessman with a dignified state capital?"

"Was money able to make up for such a serious crime by King Lu? If money can forgive the crime, what is the law of heaven?" An old man was crying.

......

Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "I don't know if it's the same thing, but we know that this life is at stake. God has the virtue of life. Your Majesty is most concerned about the people of Weihui Mansion. Whoever can save the people of Weihui Mansion from the fire will listen to anyone. If you can do it, you can immediately follow our family to meet the saint. If you can't do it, it's meaningless to kneel down. I'm afraid you will be criticized, saying that you are just full of benevolence, righteousness, but you don't care about the lives and deaths of the people of Weihui Mansion."

"Hmph! This is clearly an excuse. The purpose is to help King Lu escape from his crime."

"If Your Majesty does not take back his life, we will never get up."

"Okay, our family actually came to persuade you because of our acquaintance. Your Majesty didn't plan to pay attention to you. Since you don't want to, then you can kneel down and we'll go back first."

After saying that, Zhang Cheng turned around and went back.

The scholars and officials looked at Zhang Cheng's twisting buttocks and felt so uncomfortable that they wanted to cry.

Zhang Cheng was really not fooling them. He really came out with a friendly word to persuade him. Wanli didn't plan to pay attention to them at all, because not long ago, they were the most scolded, and they were only left with a mouth, and they couldn't do anything. If they were to be honest, even if they were killed by King Lu, it would not be possible to solve the problem of Wei Hui's mansion.

If you don’t solve the problem, it will be useless to say more.

When Wanli was unreasonable, he was still shameless and acted like a scoundrel. Besides, he was still reasonable in this matter because it was his younger brother who made the mistake, not him. He "completely" was out of care for the people and out of benevolence and righteousness, so he agreed to contract to Guo Dan, although it was actually to protect his younger brother.

Not far away, there was a carriage parked. Zheng Seung-heon sat in the car, watched for a while, sighed, put down the curtain, and ordered the groom to say, "Go to the East Factory."

East Factory.

"Governor, what should I do?"

Zheng Chengxian looked at Zhang Jing with a tangled look on his face.

Zhang Jing put down the teacup and asked slowly: "What does Dr. Zheng mean?"

Jung Seung-heon looked around.

Zhang Jing said: "You all go down."

After all the people serving left and right, Zheng Chengxian said: "Governor, you should also know that the Lu King's affairs involve the enthronement of the crown prince. Now that Lu King is tied to Guo Dan, we have to deal with Guo Dan, will this affect it..."

He is not stupid either. He can have today all depends on the imperial concubine. The country's foundation matter is his fundamental interest, and no interests can be compared with this. The relationship now has become very complicated. The Lu Wang Mansion involves the country's foundation, and Lu Wang is bound to Guo Dan, so Guo Dan's success or failure will also affect the country's foundation.

"So that's what happened."

Zhang Jing smiled slightly and said, "Doctor Zheng, please rest assured. This prince is the prince and Guo Dan is Guo Dan. There is nothing to do with the two. How can Your Majesty compare the prince with a businessman? Besides, we will not compete with Guo Dan in the Weihui Mansion, so it has nothing to do with us. We are just targeting cotton armor. This Liaodong transaction cannot be given to Guo Dan."

Zheng Seung-hyun hesitated and said, "But will this cotton armor affect Guo Dan?"

"Of course it will have an impact, but he just lost some money. Guo Dan is now making money every day, so this little money is nothing." Zhang Jing smiled and said, "If you want to blame, you can only blame Guo Dan. His hand is too long and he wants to catch everything. If he wants to catch everything, what should we eat?"

Zheng Seung-heon nodded slightly: "The governor is right." He asked again: "But Governor, do you think Guo Dan can really complete the task?"

A hint of anger flashed in Zhang Jing's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "I don't know this, but I think since he has the courage to take it over, he must be sure. Dr. Zheng will rest assured."

“That’s right.”

Zheng Seung-heon nodded.

After this conversation, Zheng Chengxian's greed began to cause trouble again, thinking that Zhang Jing's words made sense. Wei Hui Mansion is Wei Hui Mansion, and cotton armor is cotton armor. Guo Dan is now making so much money and making less business, it doesn't matter.

However, he didn't know that Zhang Jing didn't think so. Zhang Jing had already felt that Guo Dan had touched his core interests, that is, the power in his hands. Before Wu Dynasty, he was unaware of it. He didn't know that Guo Dan was going to contract, but generally speaking, how could such a big thing be bypassed by him, but Wanli really didn't let him know, which made his sense of crisis suddenly rise.

Moreover, Guo Dan got the trust of Wanli step by step and was tied to Lu Wang. He also had to prevent Guo Dan from doing him. He didn't know what Guo Dan was thinking, but he wanted to kill Guo Dan. Of course, he would also think that once Guo Dan gained the trust of Wanli, he would definitely attack him, and he had to take action first.

After Zheng Chengxian left, Zhang Jing immediately called a small eunuch and instructed: "You send a message to Tianjin Wei immediately and tell them not to do anything first, and wait for my order."

"Affect the order."
