Although the two parties did not sign the merger contract on the same day, Qin Dalong and the others did not have many choices.

They gathered together to fight Guo Dan, but they were still willing but not capable. Now some ironware vendors are quite supportive of Guo Dan's merger plan, so they have no choice but to play.

Guo Dan is also very confident about this. Since he has offered this price, he must be sure. Therefore, he took advantage of this gap to invite the President of the Court Wang Yu and the President of the Litigation Court Xue Wenqing to come over to discuss how to protect the craftsmen.

This incident really reminded him that the craftsmen are really too humble at the moment. Although scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are actually worse than merchants. Merchants are rich, but craftsmen have nothing. That is a group of tool people, the main targets of being exploited, and they are comparable to farmers.

Although capitalists also want to deprive people, if this continues, there will be fewer and fewer craftsmen.

This is very unfavorable to capital.

Since ancient times, China has not had a scientific system. If we want to develop technology, it requires skilled craftsmen to make up for it.

At this point, the three parties quickly reached an agreement.

Xue Wenqing and Wang Yu both raised their hands to agree.

Because this matter actually involves the issue of the power of merchants. If the craftsmen are exempted from the responsibility of the craftsmen to a great extent, then all the responsibilities will be placed on the merchants. They are also afraid that the merchants have too much power, so doing so is also checking and balancing the merchants.

In the end, they set a general principle.

First of all, the responsible person must bear the responsibility. No matter whether you entrust someone else or someone below you commit a crime, the actual owner of the workshop must be punished, but it is just a matter of severity. Whoever makes you care about the people below you will make you lazy.

Secondly, the person responsible for the case must also be punished. Even if you are instructed by the employer, you must be punished because you can report it, and it would be fine if you don’t report it. If you know it’s illegal, you will still do it. Who can you blame?

The craftsman must be held accountable, and whether the craftsman directly produces contraband products. If it is a direct production of contraband, of course, it must also be held accountable, but it is relatively light. As for cutting corners, it will be two points. If the employer gives an order, the craftsman will naturally be exempted from liability, because cutting corners itself is not illegal, and it is illegal only because of the contract constraints. However, if the craftsman cut corners from it, it must be the employer to sue the craftsman.

Divide all responsibilities very clearly.

Although this increases the responsibility of merchants, it also prompts merchants to work hard to produce better products. Now every merchant in Weihui Mansion represents Weihui Mansion, and Guo Dan attaches great importance to product issues.

In addition, this also officially announced that the Weihui Mansion abolished the continuation system.

If the system of joint position is followed, it is difficult for craftsmen to be exempted from liability. Under this principle, the system of joint position is already in name only.

In fact, few cases have been investigated for the punishment in the past two years, because in the commercial society, the system of continuation must be abolished and everyone is working together. If it is continuation, a workshop may drag half of the county into the water.

Of course, this is not explicitly stated, because they do not have this power, and they just abolish the continuation system from the side.

After the agreement was made, Wang Yu suddenly asked: "Do you want to discuss this matter with your father-in-law?"

Guo Dan was stunned and said, "Yes! I've been here for a while, and it seems that I haven't seen my grandfather yet."

Wang Yu said embarrassedly: "I heard that I'm going to Xinxian."

"Xinxian?"

Guo Tan said: "Is it because of business?"

"this."

Wang Yu wanted to speak but stopped.

Xue Wenqing said bluntly: "The father-in-law here rarely deals with official business. He doesn't go to the surrounding prefectures to handle foreign affairs. He just visits his rouge shop, and going to Xinxian is also a matter of business."

At that time, Guo Dan gave the Rouge workshop to Zhang Cheng, and the Rouge shop was given to Ji Gui.

Their eunuchs were very interested in these.

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "This is not a bad thing. His responsibility is to handle foreign affairs. Now there is nothing to do with foreign affairs. If your father-in-law doesn't find anything to do, he can only point fingers at you every day."

Xue Wenqing thought about it, so he didn't want to be directed by the eunuch every day, so he didn't say much.

After seeing off Wang Yu and Xue Wenqing, Guo Dan was about to discuss with Aunt Xu again, but suddenly found that Aunt Xu was not in the house, so he asked Yang Feixu: "Have you gone out?"

Yang Feixu said: "I went out in half an hour."

"Didn't you tell me where to go?"

"No."

Strange! Didn’t she like going out here? Guo Dan muttered to herself, but didn’t care too much, and said, “Let’s go out for a walk too.”

South suburbs.

"Stop."

Aunt Xu got off the carriage and looked at the small farmhouse in front of her. Although there was no one in the yard, she smiled slightly, walked forward, and asked, "Is anyone there?"

After a while, an old man walked out of the house with white hair and hair.

It was the old man who carried the medicine box to chase the crazy old man that day.

When he saw Aunt Xu, he said in surprise: "How do you know I live here?"

Aunt Xu just glanced at the herbs on the ground.

The old man laughed: "Come in."

When Aunt Xu entered the yard, she knelt down and bowed respectfully, saying respectfully: "Niece Xu Fengluo has seen Uncle Li."

The old man said, "Get up, get up."

There are not many people who can make Aunt Xu give such a great gift, and this old man is no one else, but the famous doctor Li Shizhen.

He once worked as an imperial physician in Beijing, so he met Xu Mengchong. In addition, he also met Mr. Wan Mizhai, Aunt Xu's mentor.

Li Shizhen asked, "Is Ling Zun's health okay?"

Aunt Xu just nodded.

Li Shizhen said: "It seems that your father and daughter have not yet reconciled?"

Aunt Xu said: "I am unfilial and have no face to go home to face my father."

Li Shizhen sighed and said, "This honest official can't make it difficult to deal with family affairs, not to mention that I am not even a honest official. Let's sit, sit."

The two sat down in the yard.

Li Shizhen said: "I saw you in the city that day, but because I was in trouble at that time, I didn't recognize you. By the way, the young man standing beside you that day was your husband?"

Aunt Xu's face turned red and she shook her head hurriedly and said, "No, no, that person is Guo Dan, the tooth merchant who contracted the Weihui Mansion."

"It's him."

Li Shizhen nodded and said, "The name I have heard the most in the past year, but it is Guo Dan. I never thought that he was so young. This person is really a strange person. Then why are you with him?"

Aunt Xu replied: "I had a relationship with her wife and her master. Later, he asked me to help him with advice. Like my mentor, I was very curious about this person, so I agreed."

After pausing, she suddenly asked, "Uncle Shi, the person he was chasing in the city that day was like Mr. Wen Chang."

"Who else can I besides him?" Li Shizhen sighed and said, "I remember a year ago, I was practicing medicine in Shanyin. I happened to meet the crazy old man. I saw that he was drunk on the roadside, no one cared about it, and cherished his talent, so I wanted to treat him. However, after the crazy old man woke up, he called me a quack doctor, wanted to harm him, and threatened to let the dog bite me.

I didn't want to care about him and let him die, but at that time I was angry with his bad words. He refused to let the old doctor treat him, so I vowed to cure him. I swear to cure him. After chasing him for a year, I chased him here. Now I think about it, it's ridiculous."

When it comes to the end, he is happy.

"I see."

Aunt Xu nodded with a smile and said, "I have heard a little about Mr. Wen Chang. His madness occurs from time to time, so it is difficult to have medicine to cure it. Does Shiwang have a way to cure it?"

Li Shizhen smiled and said, "Didn't your master teach you that you still need to treat this heart disease with heart medicine. There is no medicine in the world to cure it."

Aunt Xu said in surprise: "Since that's the case, why did Uncle Shi return!"

Li Shizhen said: "Actually, as long as he promises to let the old man treat it, his illness will be mostly cured."

"I am stupid, don't you know what Shi Bo said to reconcile?"

"well!"

Li Shizhen sighed and said, "Although we quarreled during this year, we talked about it calmly for a few times. His wisdom is really rare in the world, but it is precisely because he is too smart that he gets crazy. It can be seen that everything has two sides. Being confused may not be a bad thing, and being smart does not necessarily mean a good thing."

Aunt Xu said: "Can smartness make people crazy?"

Li Shizhen was silent for a little, and said, "He refused to let me heal because he felt very desperate about everything in this world. The reason for his despair was that he had seen through everything, and he was arrogant by nature and refused to condescend to others, so he made him crazy."

"I understand."

Aunt Xu said: "If Mr. Wenchang is willing to let Shibo be treated, it will prove that he will no longer be desperate."

Li Shizhen nodded, but then sighed, "But at present, I can't see any hope." As he said that, he looked at Aunt Xu and said, "Feng'er, you have always been resourceful, I wonder if you have any solutions?"

Aunt Xu pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Uncle Shi, why did you come to this Weihui Mansion?"

Li Shizhen was stunned for a moment and replied, "I am chasing him."

Aunt Xu asked again: "Is Mr. Wen Chang still in Weihui Mansion?"

Li Shizhen pointed to the west and said, "I live in a hotel not far away. I let my disciples watch it. Oh, this crazy old man looks weak, but he is walking like a flying step. I feel very difficult to chase after him all the way."

Aunt Xu asked again: "Uncle Shi, have you been in other places for so long?"

Li Shizhen thought for a while and said, "It doesn't seem like this." As he said that, he suddenly asked, "Have you discovered something?"

Aunt Xu nodded slightly and said, "I am just guessing, I am not sure. I suspect Mr. Wen Chang was coming for Guo Tan."

"Guo Dan?"

Li Shizhen shook her head and said, "This is unlikely. Who is Xu Wenchang? But even the prime minister of the dynasty is not favored by him. How could he look down on a tooth merchant?"

Aunt Xu said: "Just just now, Mr. Wen Chang was deeply in despair, and my younger generation also met some people who were disappointed with the court in Weihui Mansion and rekindled hope. For example, Xue Wenqing, the president of the Litigation Court, was like this."

Li Shizhen nodded and said, "This Weihui Mansion is indeed unique. Although it is full of the smell of money, the people here are all hopeful and full of vitality, which is very different from other prefectures. By the way, did Xu Wenchang talk to Guo Dan that day?"

Aunt Xu nodded and told Li Shizhen what happened that day.

"Maybe your guess is not wrong."

Li Shizhen couldn't help but snorted, "This old man looks crazy, but in fact he's very open-minded."

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "This strange man needs a strange man to be a doctor!" After saying that, she felt that this was inappropriate. Li Shizhen was also a strange man, so she hurriedly said, "I have made a mistake in my words, I hope the uncle will forgive me."

"No, no, no!"
