I have to say that Aunt Xu’s suggestions are very attractive.

In fact, for Guo Dan, it is difficult to attract his interest to contract the prefectures in the Central Plains region, because the risks are already higher than the interests. The ministers will definitely not let Guo Dan contract the prefectures again, and they will not even be beaten to death. They will definitely try their best to prevent such a thing from happening again, and the risk will inevitably rise.

As far as Guo Dan’s interests are concerned, there is no need to add another Wei Hui Mansion.

As a production base, Weihui Mansion has met all of Guo Dan's needs.

But if you contract Lingnan, it is really worth considering it. Guo Dan is really interested in this because it is a source of raw materials. The key is that the court is beyond the reach there and there is a lot of room for play.

In addition, if you play well, you can also get an outlet there.

However, in comparison, Aunt Xu is still more attractive, especially for Guo Dan at this time.

Just that look made Guo Dan really unable to bear it anymore. He had been working hard before and didn't think about those things. He was a workaholic, but Aunt Xu seduced all his inner desires and was going back to Beijing soon. Otherwise, he would have to go to the hot spring pavilion to solve his physiological needs.

Interest was interest, and he still reserved it for this, because in his plan, there was no Lingnan area, so he didn't have to contract there. He decided to take a look first and send someone to explore the way or something.

Shanxi merchants are undoubtedly the best candidates. As long as they have money to make money, Shanxi merchants dare to go anywhere and dare to trade with anyone. Who will make money if they don’t make money?

Guo Dan is willing to share wealth with such people. Everyone makes money by hard work, which is natural.

"Uncle Hu San is here, please sit down, please sit down."

"Thank you."

After Hu Du sat down, he asked Guo Dan: "I wonder if Captain Guo suddenly invited me over, what instructions do you have?"

"I dare not take it as a command. You are a businessman, and I am also a businessman, and I am not a superior or subordinate relationship."

Guo Tan smiled and shook his head, saying, "I just want to discuss something with you."

"What's up?"

"That's right. I heard that you Shanxi merchants also often sell medicinal materials. I recently planned to build the largest medicinal materials trading market in Kaifeng Prefecture. I hope that the future medicinal materials will be traded in Kaifeng Prefecture. Therefore, as long as you sell medicinal materials to Kaifeng Prefecture, Kaifeng Prefecture will subsidize half of the tariffs, and we will also provide free trading venues for medicinal materials merchants."

Because Mongolia produces many medicinal materials, there is nothing that Shanxi merchants don’t sell, and there are also many large medicinal materials merchants among them.

There are several tea shops in Weihui Mansion, which are run by several large medicinal materials merchants.

"Medicinal materials?" Hu Du pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Is it because of this for the medical insurance plan?"

Guo Tan nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, this medical insurance plan requires a lot of medicinal materials."

Hu Du's eyes flashed rapidly.

This is a big business opportunity.

Guo Dan didn't know what he was thinking, and said: "In addition, I also hope to go to Lingnan to buy medicinal materials. If you Shanxi merchants are interested, we can cooperate."

"Of course I'm interested, of course I'm interested."

Hu Du nodded in a hurry.

With the scale of Weihuifu medical insurance plan, there are definitely no such two such large customers in the world.

But Guo Dan did not negotiate with Hu Du on the details, because the medical insurance plan has just begun and he has not calculated the cost. Without specific data, Guo Dan would never invest rashly.

After dealing with the matter at hand, Guo Dan set off for Beijing.

The medical insurance plan will not start from the end of next year. After all, you have to pay the money first. The third hospital is responsible for issuing medical insurance cards. As for the final stage of Weihui Mansion, you are almost busy, and all the debts caused by this incident have been arranged properly.

......

After a few days of travel, Guo Dan came to the border of the capital.

"It's so cold!"

Because the horse was about to rest, Guo Dan got off the carriage. As soon as he came out, he was trembling a little by the cold wind. But when he saw Aunt Xu, Yang Feixu's expression was as usual, as if he didn't feel the chill at all. He couldn't help but thrust his chest up.

"This time, the layman must miss home very much...!"

At this point, Guo Dan suddenly shut up because he missed homesome, so he said casually, but he soon realized that it was not good to be a family in front of these two women.

Aunt Xu didn't seem to care and smiled and said, "You are missing home."

Guo Dan nodded, hesitated for a little, and said, "Laby, if you need help, I am very willing to serve you."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it."

Aunt Xu smiled and rejected Guo Dan.

Guo Dan nodded and changed the topic: "What does the layman think is the current situation in the capital?"

Aunt Xu thought for a little and said, "After this, I am afraid that the greater the conflict between the court officials and the cabinet, they will continue to fight. Although this is a good thing for you, because they will no longer unite and work together to deal with you, you should also pay attention to keeping a distance from them."

Guo Tan asked: "Why is this?"

Aunt Xu said: "Because you only serve Your Majesty, this is the only reason why you can live to this day. If you have your own power in the court, then Your Majesty will not trust you so much."

Guo Dan suddenly asked, "If it's uncle who comes to win me over, should I refuse?"

Aunt Xu subconsciously said, "Don't worry, Daddy will never do this, maybe he is afraid that you will find him."

"It seems that the layman knows uncle very well." Guo Tan nodded with a smile.

Aunt Xu was a little stunned and suddenly remembered that Guo Dan knew better about this than her. After all, Guo Dan was recommended to Wanli by Xu Mengchong, and immediately glared at Guo Dan.

Guo Dan shrugged and said, "Where did this father and daughter get overnight revenge!"

He and Aunt Xu were really facing each other day, and he could not notice it. In fact, Aunt Xu always had a heart disease, and this heart disease must be Xu Mengxu.

It’s just that this honest official has difficulty in severing family affairs, so he did not mention this matter, but he really hopes to help Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu turned around and went back to the carriage.

Guo Dan suddenly found Yang Feixu beside him in a daze, with the darkness of his eyes flashing with the light of longing. He stumbled twice, but he still didn't speak.

After a short rest, they rushed forward non-stop.

As before, when Guo Dan came to the city gate, a eunuch was waiting there.

Whenever this happens, Guo Dan will inevitably wonder if Wanli is interested in him. Every time he has to meet Kou Weisha, will he repay him tomorrow?

After thinking about it, he still followed the eunuch to the palace honestly.

"I am a humble position, Guo Dan will meet with His Majesty, and I will live my emperor."

When he arrived in the hall, Guo Dan came forward with a whistle and knelt down to salute.

"Hurry and don't give me a gift."

After Guo Dan got up, Wanli immediately asked, "Guo Dan, how much money did we spend this time?"

For Wanli, this is the first time he has implemented a plan that costs a lot of money. Although he has spent a lot of money before, he either built a Lu Wang Mansion for King Lu or built a tomb for himself. But that money is really not easy to spend. He is scolded every day. This is the first time he has encountered this way of spending money, so how could he wait until Guo Dan comes again tomorrow?

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, and his heart was slightly ache. It turned out that he cared about money, not me, and said, "If you want to know your Majesty, if we don't count the silk we bought, we spent a total of 350,000 taels."

After all, transportation is still much less than last year, so this money is of course spent.

"Hiss---!"

Wanli took a deep breath of air conditioning and suddenly grabbed her left breast with one hand, which was full of flesh.

"His Majesty!"

Li Gui hurried forward.

Wanli stopped him, "I...I'm fine."

But Li Gui clearly saw tears flashing in the corners of his eyes.

Guo Dan said: "Your Majesty, but we made about one million taels of tax revenue in Kaifeng, Huaiqing and Zhangde's three palaces."

"Hiss----!"

Wanli forced another breath of air conditioner, slowly stood up, walked to Guo Dan, "How much did you say?"

"Reply to Your Majesty, one million taels."

"How come there are so many?"

Wanli asked in disbelief, but then said, "I know, I know, it must be the corrupt officials who are corrupt. It's really outrageous. They are actually greedy for so much money. No, I want to go and confiscate their homes."

He can't stand this. You are greedy, but... but you can't be more greedy than me. Do I want face as an emperor?

It only costs one million taels a year. Those prefects have worked for four or five years. They can’t copy million taels out. If they don’t search the house, how can they be worthy of the name “Wanli without a foundation”?

Guo Dan was stunned immediately.

this...?

I didn't complain!

"Your Majesty, this may be a misunderstanding."

Guo Dan hurriedly explained: "The low-ranking position does not mean that those officials are greedy for money."

Wanli said excitedly: "If it weren't for this, why would it suddenly cost one million taels of taxes? Kaifeng Prefecture has no change at all except the government!"

Kaifeng Prefecture is no better than Weihui Prefecture. Kaifeng Prefecture must comply with the small peasant economy and ensure scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, but there is no government office.

Suddenly one million taels were added, it must be because of the government!

Guo Dan said: "Your Majesty, in fact, officials are not greedy for much money. At most, they can only say that they have no governance. They will only collect taxes from the people, but they will not allow the people to make a living. If the people have no livelihood, they will naturally try their best to evade taxes. Once the people leave, the fields are deserted, resulting in less tax income. In this way, they will fall into a vicious cycle. In addition, the main ones are those landlords who evade taxes and the profits obtained by the vassal kings."

As he said that, he took out an account and handed it to Wanli, "Your Majesty, this is the main source of the one million taels. Please check it out."

Wanli was really a little confused, so he quickly took the account book and stood in front of Guo Dan and looked at it.

The above is written very clearly, and there is a comparison with him before the contract. It is obvious at a glance that Guo Dan had never thought about making money from Wanli. He only asked Wanli to give him the power to spend money.

The land alone is about 30%.

These lands were not available before.

But this is just one of them. The second is the profits brought by the private college economy. The majority of the profits are Guo Dan, because Guo Dan monopolized the land, retail, and mining.

These industries have been maximized in the hands of Guo Dan.

There is also the profits of the vassal kings.

Now the vassal palaces of the three prefectures are all operated by Guo Dan, and the extra profits are half the share of the two parties.

This brought Guo Dan a net profit of more than 100,000 taels.

Of course, he was the big boss to beat Segeo, but the additional profit of all the vassal kings was only more than 100,000 taels.

But this is a lot.

This is mainly because the vassal kings have monopoly power granted by many countries. For example, the King of Zhou monopolized the city of salt and gained salt profit. Before Guo faded, the economy of Kaifeng Prefecture was not so developed. However, after the rise of selfish academies, the population flowed more and the consumption of salt was increasing day by day. In addition, this tariff incident led to a large number of caravans heading to Kaifeng Prefecture, and the salt profit of Zhou Prefecture doubled.

After a while, Wanli closed the account book, looked at Guo Dan, and said, "Guo Dan, why don't you go to contract one or two states?"

Guo Dan was stunned immediately.
