This article actually reflects Guo Dan's personality. He is optimistic by nature and good at reflecting. He will not spend too much time complaining about the world. At most, he can only curse a few words, but after scolding, he will reflect on himself and how he can avoid losses.

Instead of considering how others should adjust to avoid their own losses.

This is not smooth.

No one will consider his interests.

After this incident, he hopes to avoid unnecessary vicious competition with surrounding governments as much as possible.

In addition, he is now a financial advisor to the Ming Dynasty and is not a humble businessman, so the adults also reasonably accept his existence.

It is the wheat sowing season. For Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, they must race against time. They need to harvest all the melons in the fields and then plant them again. They only need half a month.

Because the ripening of the pumpkin has delayed some time.

This is a very tight time.

The women and children all went to help.

As they got down the road, there were busy figures everywhere, and they really had no time to worry about Guo Dan's arrival.

......

"Why are we still wandering around Kaifeng Mansion? Have we taken the wrong path?"

Guo Dan lifted the curtains and asked Yang Feixu outside the car.

Yang Feixu replied: "I have arrived in Guide Mansion long ago."

"What?"

Guo Dan looked away again and saw that there were many farmers in each field bowing and working, which was so harmonious, questioning: "This is impossible! Isn't it said that Guide Mansion is in chaos? Why... Why doesn't it look like it!"

Aunt Xu, who was sitting opposite, smiled and said, "This is the difference between having talent and not having talent."

"Then what am I doing?"

Guo Dan spread her hands.

"Do you want to add icing on the cake or do you want to help you in time?" Aunt Xu asked back.

"None of them." Guo Dan said angrily: "I came to the snow to get carbon."

Aunt Xu was stunned and said, "It turns out that you really want to get the coal and iron ore in Guide Mansion."

"certainly."

“……!”

Aunt Xu shook her head, lifted the curtain again, and looked outside, with a hint of confusion between her eyebrows.

According to the information given by the court, Guide Mansion has nothing to do, and it is impossible to recover so quickly.

Suddenly, a figure flashed through Aunt Xu's eyes, and she immediately shouted: "Stop."

The carriage suddenly stopped.

"Do you want to go to the toilet?"

Guo Dan asked.

Aunt Xu glared at him, wishing she could kick him. She couldn't do it on the carriage, so she could get off the carriage by herself.

Guo Dan followed.

Aunt Xu walked along the small road of the mountains for a while, came to a square field, and shouted to a farmer who was bowing and working inside, "Uncle Wei!"

Guo Dan was slightly surprised.

Aunt Xu is from a famous family. She can call her uncle or an earl. She can't help but call her a villain like Guo Dan. Even those who open a restaurant call him Nephew Guo.

I couldn't help but look at it and saw that the old farmer was about fifty years old, looking even whiter than an ordinary farmer, and he really didn't look like a farmer.

Uncle Wei?

Could it be that he is Wei Yunzhen?

This person is Wei Yunzhen.

"Ah! I'm not thinking!"

When Wei Yunzhen saw Aunt Xu, she couldn't help but feel happy. She came to the edge of the field with a hoe and said in surprise: "Wu Si, why are you here?"

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "I specially sent reinforcements to Uncle Wei."

Her hand was directed to Guo Dan next to her.

Wow! You are really good at making favors. Guo Dan muttered to himself and bowed, "Guo Dan has met Lord Wei."

Wei Yunzhen was stunned, looked at Guo Dan, and said, "You are my financial advisor to the Ming Dynasty, Guo Dan?"

Guo Tan smiled and said, "It must be younger than Lord Wei imagined."

Wei Yunzhen was stunned and immediately bowed her hand and replied, "I'm rude, I'm rude. In recent years, your name is so well-known!"

If it were before, he would not have said that, which shows that the Ming Dynasty financial advisor is still very awesome for the time being, because this title was useless before.

“Where, where.”

Guo Tan smiled and said, "If I had known that Lord Wei had been here to take charge, I wouldn't have needed to come."

Wei Yunzhen complained: "I think you are too late."

Guo Dan said in surprise: "But I think the adults have managed the place in an orderly manner."

"This is just an illusion."

Wei Yunzhen pointed to a straw hut by the field again, "Let's go there and talk."

When he arrived under the straw hut, Wei Yunzhen took a sip of water and sighed: "This clever wife can't cook without rice! Facing the poor Guide Mansion, what I can do is extremely limited...!"

He explained the reason to Guo Dan.

It turned out that he just used the new official's three fires to call on all officials in Henan Province to donate money to Guide Mansion. He set an example by himself, not only donating a lot of money, but also selling some assets and raising some money and grain. Then, using the taxes of Guide Mansion next year as a guarantee, he borrowed some food from the landlords of Guide Mansion.

Although there are not many of these, he set an example and shared the joys and sorrows with the local people, leading the people to cultivate land, and telling the people that the court would send people to support us.

The people are actually very simple. They are deeply moved. They are the officials of the province, and they eat the same food as us. They go to the fields to farm every day, and no one is resentful.

I settled down temporarily.

The people do not make trouble, and they also reduce a lot of internal friction.

Wei Yunzhen shook her head and sighed: "But this is just a stupid method. It won't last long. It depends on Consultant Guo."

This is really a good cook who can't cook without rice. The court gave him an official hat and gave him nothing except that. He couldn't ask other prefectures to provide assistance to Guide Mansion. He could do the same with the people.

Guo Dan turned around and looked at Yang Feixu and said, "Please bring me the bag."

After a while, Yang Feixu came over with a leather briefcase and handed the briefcase to Guo Dan.

Guo Dan took out a plan from it and handed it to Wei Yunzhen, saying, "This is my rescue plan, so please ask Lord Wei to take a look."

Wei Yunzhen quickly took it over and looked at it. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly frowned and said, "I thought you came here as a financial advisor of the Ming Dynasty, not as a businessman."

"Of course I am the financial advisor of the Ming Dynasty."

"Then you are suspected of taking advantage of the situation."

Wei Yunzhen seemed a little unhappy.

Because in his thoughts, officials were dedicated, but Guo Dan wanted to ask for it, and his appetite was quite good. He actually wanted to return to all the coal and iron ore in Defu, and it was free of charge.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "It proves that Guide Mansion is not penniless. If no one comes here to take advantage of the situation, then the gods may not be able to save them even if they come. Of course, this does not mean that I am just here to take advantage of the situation.

I have carefully studied the situation in Guide Mansion. Both workers, farmers and merchants have been severely damaged. It is not a matter of overnight. Only industry and commerce can quickly revitalize Guide Mansion.

To restore workers, farmers and merchants, we must first attract merchants to come here to invest money. The only thing that can attract merchants here is the coal and iron ore. I will move the production line of Weihui Mansion to produce agricultural tools and tools here.

This will inevitably provide many livelihoods to the local people.

The agricultural tools produced at that time will be exported to Jiangnan and Shandong. At the same time, Guide Mansion is also a way to enter Weihui Mansion, so more people will come here to enter Weihui Mansion."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, "To put it bluntly, most of the coal mines here were occupied by those gentry in the past. Even the coal and iron mines owned by the government were only a place to exploit the people."

"do not you?"

Wei Yunzhen asked.

"Of course I'm not."

Guo Dan said: "Please take a closer look at the salary guarantee we give to miners, which will be ten times the same as miners here before."

"Ten times?" Wei Yunzhen was really disbelieved and hurriedly flipped back. When he saw the regulations on salary, he couldn't help but open his eyes.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "This is not how generous I am. It is actually only about twice as many miners as our Weihui Mansion. This shows how stingy the government here was before. I said it was to use the coal and iron mines of Guide Mansion for free, but in fact I just distributed this part of the money to the people."

The government often uses labor to mine for free. The salary is spread equally, and it really cannot be described as a blood-sweat mine.

Guo Dan wanted to take down all the coal and iron ore in Guide Mansion for free, and he didn't even pay the mine tax, but the money was actually not much, because Guo Dan distributed all the money that was supposed to pay, or that was supposed to bribe the government, to miners equally.

The mines in Weihui Mansion also have to pay taxes, which also include deed taxes.

As he said that, he took out a contract from his bag and said, "This is an alternative solution. In this plan, we will give the government a sum of money every year, but at the same time, the people's wages will be reduced by 60%. After all, the labor costs of Guide Mansion are actually not as good as those of our Weihui Mansion. It depends on how you make your choice."

Wei Yunzhen frowned slightly, suddenly looked at Aunt Xu on the side and asked, "Wu Si, you have always been resourceful, please give me some advice."

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "Uncle Wei is indeed not good at buying and selling. If Uncle Wei wants to bargain, he should not tell him the truth. Now Uncle Wei doesn't have much choice."

"You didn't say it earlier."

Wei Yunzhen complained, and suddenly realized that Aunt Xu had taken off her Taoist robe and said, "Is he your husband?"

Aunt Xu hurriedly said, "Uncle Wei misunderstood. I just took his money and helped him with advice."

Guo Dan snorted: "If she were my wife, I would have kicked her, and her elbow would always be...Oh!"

Yang Feixu suddenly said, "It is easy to step on you if you turn in."

Aunt Xu pursed her lower lip and almost laughed out loud.

You stinky woman, I swear to the sky that one day, I will take off all your clothes and do nothing with you, which will make you itchy. Guo Dan turned around and glared at Yang Feixu fiercely, and then said to Aunt Xu: "Landit Master, what are you doing? Sir, please be serious."

Aunt Xu suddenly woke up and subconsciously looked at Wei Yunzhen awkwardly, only to see the old man looking at them in a daze.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Wei, junior..."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Wei Yunzhen waved her hand and asked again: "Wu Si, if I agree, what do you think I should choose?"

Aunt Xu put away her smile and said seriously: "What do you think? If this money is in the hands of Uncle Wei, Uncle Wei will definitely use it to save the people, but it may include some lazy people. After all, this money cannot help every person.

It can be seen that the best result of this money in the hands of the government is not as good as the first plan provided by Guo Dan. The worst result is that the government will continue to take this part of the money for itself in the future."

"Well said!"

Guo Tan blinked at Aunt Xu and said, "It seems you haven't forgotten who is paying you the salary now."

Aunt Xu immediately glared at Guo Dan in anger.

Wei Yunzhen looked at them and laughed, saying, "I am worthy of being my financial advisor to the Ming Dynasty. It is indeed worthy of its reputation. It seems to have many choices, but in fact, I have no choice at all."

Just then, I suddenly heard a shout: "Stop, who are you?"

Guo Dan looked back and saw a man in his thirties staring at him, not caring about the scimitar in the hand of the guard in front of him.

The man suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "You...you are Guo Dan from Yinuoyaxing?"

"Yes!" Guo Dan nodded and said curiously: "Do you have something to do?"

The man suddenly looked overjoyed, turned around and ran to the edge of the field, "It's Guo Dan, it's Guo Dan, it's really Guo Dan, Guo Dan is here."

Suddenly, I heard cheers coming from afar.

"Guo Dan is here, we are saved."
