After persuading Xu Wei, Guo Dan's overseas plan was ready.

But all this is just to prepare for a sea.

What a humble request.

Do you need to do so much?

But let alone, if Guo Dan directly applied to go overseas, he would have to work hard for at least a few years.

This is the Ming Dynasty.

A very, very tangled dynasty.

Nothing big, they can discuss for a few years.

And most of the results ended in vain.

However, Guo Dan had no complaints about this. There are pros and cons of everything. Although it made him go around a big circle and make a lot of preparations, others cannot go around this circle. So as long as he goes around, it will be a monopoly.

If you can monopolize, what's the harm in working hard in the past two or three years?

And this means a lot to him.

......

"I wonder if you convinced Mr. Xu to become the dean?"

"How do you know?"

Guo Dan, who had just returned, was surprised when he heard Aunt Xu's question.

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "I was also at Yinuo Academy just now."

Guo Dan said curiously: "Then why don't you call me?"

"I saw that you were very focused on chatting with Mr. Xu, so I didn't bother you."

"Then why do you think I am lobbying Mr. Xu as the dean of Yinuo Academy?" Guo Dan asked again.

Aunt Xu said: "I have talked to those teachers in the past two days and found that although they are not as famous as Su Xu, Cui Youli and others, they are not ordinary people. They are open-minded, knowledgeable, and have their own unique insights. They are very suitable for Yinuo Academy. They are all selected by Mr. Xu. I believe Mr. Xu is not too serious. If he really takes this matter in the face, he will definitely be able to help you manage Yinuo Academy."

Guo Dan smiled bitterly and said, "But I have also said that with Mr. Xu's character, he would not agree to be the dean. In fact, I am saying goodbye to him."

"Farewell?"

Aunt Xu frowned slightly and said, "You shouldn't let him leave so easily."

Guo Dan said in surprise: "Why?"

Aunt Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I asked you to keep Mr. Xu. The School of Management is just the second. With his talent and strategy, he can help you in many ways. Do you know how many cabinet ministers there were before and the general wanted to invite him to be an aide?"

Of course I know, I am one of them. Guo Dan laughed and said, "But I already have a lay Buddhist, and I can't have two hearts."

Aunt Xu just glared at him and said, "How can I compare to Mr. Xu?"

Guo Dan said: "But our personalities are in line, which is very important. It's like there are countless masters in the world, but I am only willing to entrust my life to Feixu."

Aunt Xu subconsciously glanced at Yang Feixu.

Yang Feixu said mercilessly: "He is just afraid that one more person will know his secret."

Aunt Xu pursed her lips and smiled, nodded and said, "I know."

Guo Dan looked at Yang Feixu depressedly and said, "I finally know why you talk so little, because you can always talk to the sky to death."

Yang Feixu said: "That's because there are too many people who are guilty."

“…!”

Guo Dan was speechless.

Aunt Xu shook her head gently and said seriously: "But I really think you should work harder and keep Mr. Xu."

Guo Dan glanced at Aunt Xu, felt a little moved, and said with a smile: "There is enough for a lay Buddhist. After all, the old man is old. When I play with him, I may... Haha, from the long run, I would rather make progress with the lay Buddhist."

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "It seems you know that you will definitely not be able to keep Mr. Xu."

Why should I keep him? He has to go to Tianjin Wei. Guo smiled and said, "Why should lay people underestimate themselves?"

Aunt Xu said seriously: "In front of Mr. Xu, I don't even have the qualifications to underestimate myself."

"But it's us who are working with us now, and that's the reality."

Guo Dan spread his hands and said, "I recommend another person to me."

Aunt Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Baiquan Layman."

"reason."

"According to your educational philosophy, it is emphasized that students can actively learn and weaken their dependence on teachers. So those responsible for the management college must be open-minded, not care about the details and approachable. Baiquan Layman is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate.

Secondly, many teachers and students advocate Yangming’s mind learning, and the reputation of Baiquan’s lay Buddhist can help him convince the public.”

"By these two points alone, Mr. Baiquan is indeed a very suitable candidate." Guo Dan nodded and said.

Aunt Xu said: "I also suggest that you put him in charge of the Journal of Yinuo."

Guo Dan said in surprise: "Why is this?"

Aunt Xu said: "Don't you know that all university institutions criticize your educational model and philosophy in their newspapers?"

"Of course I know."

Guo Dan sighed and said, "But the facts have told me that they are all professionals in this field. You can never convince them, so I don't want to spend too much energy on fighting public opinion with them this time, because it doesn't make much sense."

Aunt Xu said: "But I think this public opinion war must be fought."

"How do you say this?"

"This person's words are terrifying. The more you tolerate, the more they will be, and maybe you don't care. You don't come here often anyway, but the students of Yinuo Academy say so, which is why as soon as you leave, Yinuo Academy will immediately lose morale.

Therefore, you must fight back and fight them. According to my understanding of literati, as long as you continue to fight, you will gain support from many people. But you are right. They are professionals in this field, and you don’t need to compete with them in person, because Baiquan Jushi is also a professional, and he will be very happy."

Although Li Zhi is like Xu Wei, he is also a rebellious person, but there is actually a world of difference between the two.

Xu Wei is just indulgent, extreme, cynical, and has a very personal emotion.

Li Zhi has a set of thoughts and philosophy behind his back. Why did he slim his hair? Because he pursued a ***, why did he be friends with Aunt Xu? That was because he advocated the liberation of women, why did he regard Guo Dan as an idol, because he supported both business and agriculture.

His behavior is that thoughts support it later.

He is also a professional debater and often debates with others, so his fame is just that.

Guo Dan said: "But Mr. Baiquan is too extreme, I'm worried..."

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "If you regard Mr. Baiquan as a reckless man, then you will really underestimate him. He will know the importance. During this period, he has been holding back and not arguing with them, mainly because he is afraid of implicating you."

Guo Dan nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, just follow the words of the layman."

Aunt Xu suddenly remembered something and said, "The Kaifeng Prefecture will collect taxes soon, but you seem to have not set taxes for Kaifeng Prefecture."

Last year, it was an extremely special situation. Guo Dan exempted many people from taxes. So how does Kaifeng Prefecture pay taxes have not yet been settled.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Since I haven't said it, then I just have to pay as much as I should."

Aunt Xu frowned slightly.

Guo Dan asked, "The layman has other ideas?"

Aunt Xu was stunned and shook her head and said, "I have no other ideas. I just saw you not explaining it for a long time, thinking that you have other plans."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Actually, I have always been paying attention to the accounts of Kaifeng Prefecture. I also know that God is napping now, and the crops are difficult to harvest. The people in Kaifeng Prefecture are very miserable. I have used the vassal kings to collect all the taxes of those big landlords. As well as I monopolize many industries, I can appropriately reduce some taxes and reduce the burden on the people."

Aunt Xu said, "Then why don't you do this?"

Guo Dan said: "Because it is difficult to go from extravagant to frugality! If this tax is reduced, it will be more difficult to increase. Moreover, because of Zhang Juzheng's reform, if I stipulate that the taxes of the people will be reduced, then the taxes of the landlords will be reduced accordingly.

This food is in my hands. If there is any difficulty, I can help them, but if they have any difficulties, I will save them. In addition, as far as I know, because of the private colleges, many people come here and bring a lot of money, and the people have money to pay taxes."

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "I'm just asking casually."

In fact, she was very much looking forward to Guo Dan re-creating a new income tax law. This is because Kaifeng Prefecture is different from Weihui Prefecture. Kaifeng Prefecture is like other prefectures. If Guo Dan can implement tax reforms in Kaifeng Prefecture, it will affect other prefectures.

Unfortunately, Guo Dan had no such plan.

The amount you should pay is as much as you should.

Of course, he also made a calculation that he would not force the people to death. Although God still did not do good, the past two years were not a year of bumper harvest. However, the people of Kaifeng Prefecture had many other livelihoods, and this private college has driven a lot of economy.

However, when Guo Dan announced the news.

The people of Kaifeng Prefecture were very disappointed.

They thought Guo Dan would be exempt from taxes, and at least they would have to reduce it.

But this didn't happen.

However, the people did not complain. After all, Guo Dan had exempted them from their taxes for one year, which was inevitable. The key point was that the people had indeed made some money this year, and they could pay the tax by selling vegetables. Moreover, Guo Dan only collected taxes according to the law, and those stewards added no extra taxes.

After all, there are also legal gentry and litigators here.

However, the scholars here are dissatisfied.

They think that Guo Dan must have made a lot of money from it, because Guo Dan monopolizes many industries here, not only minerals, but also the Zhou Wangfu gets salt profits, and he also gets some points. The retail industry is his, the transportation industry is his, and the construction industry is his.

You said how much he made.

But Guo Dan did not announce how much he made this time.

He just talked with King Zhu Suzhen of Zhou, and then left Kaifeng Prefecture and returned to Weihui Prefecture.

"Here is here! Here!"

As soon as I came to the city, I saw a large group of people looking forward to the city gate.

It was the wealthy businessmen in Weihui Mansion.

Guo Dan got off the carriage and rudely patted Zhou Feng's already round belly, and said, "You are so full!"

If it were normal, Zhou Feng would definitely be a little unhappy. After all, his seniority is here, so how could he shoot someone’s stomach?
