Nine hundred and ninetieth eight chapters grave digger
Linqing.
This place has just undergone a large-scale reform and is now on the verge of end.
This is also Guo Dan's first stop to go south this time.
"Now Linqing is a bit like Wei Hui Mansion."
Aunt Xu lifted the curtains and watched the people coming and going outside, with traffic and traffic, which was very lively, even better than Wei Hui Mansion.
Guo Dan beside her leaned on her shoulder, glanced out, and smiled, "It looks quite lively, but my Weihui Mansion is much richer than this one."
Aunt Xu said: "I just said it's a bit similar, which proves that the reform is very successful."
Guo Tan smiled and said, "Your Majesty and I have invested so much financial and material resources here. If this is not successful, then Cao Ke should have dragged him out for a spanking."
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "So this credit is yours, and the blame is others."
"Of course I can't say that." Guo Dan shook his head and said, "Just say that without me, they will definitely fail, and without them, they may not fail."
Aunt Xu didn't say anything, it was nothing wrong to say that.
If you are exempted from half of the tax, how can you succeed without strong financial support?
Suddenly, I heard a noise coming from the front.
Aunt Xu looked out again and saw that there was darkness in the distance, "What's going on?"
Guo Dan immediately asked the Jinyiwei outside, "Why are there so many people in front?"
"Reply to Consultant Guo, I have sent someone to inquire just now. They are all here to welcome Consultant Guo."
"Look! The eyes of the people are all sharp." Guo Dan shrugged to Aunt Xu and said.
"Consultant Guo!"
"God of Wealth!"
"The first son-in-law!"
When we approached the crowd, we could only hear shouts.
Very excited.
In fact, Guo Dan came back this time just by the way and saw that he would not bring anything to this place. The eight million taels were all taken to Jiangnan.
But there is no way. Guo Cai Shen is famous and there are many stories about Guo Dan. Any prefecture that is favored by Guo Dan can often produce wealth.
Therefore, when local people heard that Guo Dan came, they immediately flocked to him.
"Well!"
The carriage stopped.
When Guo Dan came out of the carriage, the scene suddenly became a little out of control. The people in front rushed forward, hoping to get closer to Guo Dan and get back with some wealth. The people behind him were excitedly jumping and cheering loudly.
And when Aunt Xu came out of the carriage, the cheers drowned out everything.
I have to admit that when Aunt Xu stood beside Guo Dan, she still added some nobility to Guo Dan.
At a glance, you will know that it is definitely not an ordinary couple.
Guo Dan gently held Aunt Xu's hand with one hand and raised her hand towards the crowd.
There was another boil in the crowd.
At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties came over and bowed, "Xu Mo has seen his son-in-law and his wife."
Anyone who calls me a son-in-law is always an employee of the Kou family.
This Xu Mo was the former chief accountant of the Kou family.
Guo Tan smiled and said, "Uncle Xu has gained a lot of weight!"
Xu Mo said, "I'm sorry, my son-in-law, everyone has gained weight."
Their salary has increased by five times, and they don’t have to make a calculation every day. How can they not be fat?
"Hahaha!"
A beard suddenly squeezed forward, clasped his fists and said, "Brother Wang has met the general manager and the wife."
This person is from Weihui Mansion. He was the one who started a riot in Weihui Mansion and robbed the landlord's granary. Now he has become the deputy general manager of Fengchi Group. It can be said that Guo Dan promoted it.
Because Li Tong is now in Jiangnan, he will leave it to Brother Wang.
When Guo Dan heard this name, he was so angry that he said, "You call me general manager, I have to call you brother."
Brother Wang grinned and said, "Just call me Xiao Wang."
"I'd better call you brother. I don't want to call you Lao Wang in the future." Guo Dan said, and whispered to Aunt Xu: "Madam, our future son will be called Dad Guo."
Dad Guo?
Aunt Xu almost laughed and glared at him.
After a few greetings, Guo Dan followed Xu Mo and Brother Wang entered the street in front.
Guo Dan looked around and saw that the surrounding terrain was wide and well-connected, and couldn't help but say, "This street is built here, quite abrupt!"
Brother Wang whispered: "The general manager doesn't know that the officials were too slight at the beginning. They thought that our shop was built a little too big. They were afraid that they would not let us build it in the city. We had no choice but to build it in the suburbs. The more we built it, there was more and more. Now we built this street, but it was much more lively than in the city."
Xu Mo nodded and said, "In fact, building here is much better than building in the city. After all, there are many rules in the city and many inconveniences. The transportation here is convenient and everyone is convenient for traveling. Xinxing was built in the city before, and later it moved here."
While talking, they came to a large square in the middle.
Standing here, Aunt Xu really doesn't think that the officials are the slightest, and she doesn't want to be her.
You guys are a little too exaggerated.
The square is surrounded by four unparalleled buildings.
They are Yinuo Money Store, Fangyuan Xinxing, Fengchi Group and Yinuoyaxing.
The scale of the building is far better than that of Yinuo Street in Weihui Mansion.
The design is also very distinctive and has a very high recognition. For example, the storefront of Yinuo Bank, which looks like a coin from a distance. The entire building complex of Fengchi Group is like a large sailboat, which is protruding. The square and Circle Xinxing has a relatively long storefront, with many pillars, carved into an abacus.
As for Yinuoyaxing?
The style is similar to that of the capital. It used to be the most distinctive, but now it is the most uncharacteristic.
Linqing is the key to traffic in the canal. Weihui Mansion Waterway must pass north. The migrant population is much more than Weihui Mansion, and the business atmosphere is no worse than Weihui Mansion. It is completely a commercial city. Therefore, Fengchi Group and Fangyuan Xinxing are all located here.
Even the headquarters of Chaoguan is here.
One data can prove that Linqing has a commercial atmosphere. Apart from the Beijing headquarters, only Linqing Yinuoya Bank's performance exceeded that of Weihui Mansion. Weihui Mansion focuses on production, but here is mainly transaction, so it generates a large amount of commissions.
Of course, Yinuoya Bank in Beijing is still the first to achieve its performance, but 90% of the performance comes from the court.
An order for military pay is 8 million taels, which is also considered the performance of the Beijing Organic Bank.
This is actually not of reference value.
It’s just that the building is close to the water and gets the moon first.
As the general manager of the Tooth Firm, Guo Dan naturally chose to go to Yinuo Tooth Firm.
When he arrived at the back hall, Xu Mo immediately reported to Guo Dan and said, "Son-in-law, Wei Hui Mansion has sent 500,000 taels of 1Nuo Coin, and now everyone in Linqing is looking forward to our issuance of 1Nuo Coin."
Aunt Xu said curiously: "Isn't anyone here resistant to Yinuo Coin?"
"Maybe there is, but we have not heard any remarks about opposing Yinuo coins. Most people are still very eager for Yinuo coins."
Xu Mo also explained: "This is because most people in Linqing are engaged in industry and commerce today. Like Kaifeng Prefecture and Weihui Prefecture, industry and commerce do not work in agriculture and need to buy food, which promotes local agricultural development. Now the grain price in Linqing is equivalent to that in the capital.
This has led to a lack of coins. In addition, our Yinuo coins are free of taxes, so Linqing has not officially started paying taxes yet, which is delayed by one month than before, because everyone is waiting for Yinuo coins.”
Aunt Xu asked again: "If everyone is waiting, is this 500,000 taels enough? If it is not enough, someone may speculate on Yinuo coins."
Xu Mo said: "Madam, please rest assured. My son-in-law has already told us about this, and we have discussed with the merchants that the first batch of 1 coin will be issued to the workers as wages. This is actually enough."
Aunt Xu couldn't help looking at Guo Dan, and Guo Dan smiled and said, "This is why I have to wait for me to come and issue it. I don't want my No-coin to appear and be regarded as a bad currency to exploit the people."
As he said that, he asked Brother Wang again: "Brother, is the canal transportation still alive?"
"I dare not! I dare not! How can I bear this?" Brother Wang said in a trepidated manner.
"Tell me quickly." Guo Tan smiled.
Brother Wang immediately said: "The Linqing canal transportation officially ended at the end of last year. Now our Fengchi Group has controlled all the transportation in Linqing. In fact, before the new policy came, the Linqing canal transportation was already dying.
General Manager, you don’t know how dark the Linqing canal transportation is. Linqing was the prefecture with the most heavy grain service in the country. The court originally gave the wages of each person at 8 taels and 4 cents a year, but this could not be recruited at all. Therefore, the Linqing government could only recruit husbands and give each person sixteen taels, but there were various deductions in it. Each person could only get eight taels and 4 cents in the end. Some people could not even get the money, so they had a meal, and the wife and children were starved to death.
Such things are everywhere. In fact, before we came, a large number of servants in Linqing had already fled. Even some small officials in the canal transport were left behind. The canal transport was very bad, and they thought about how to make money every day. Our Fengchi Group had helped the canal transport transport a little grain. Later, after we had a quarrel with the canal transport, Linqing canal transport was squeezed out from top to bottom. Thinking that our Fengchi Group was relying on those corrupt officials to extend their lives for the canal transport. After the new policy came, the canal transport died immediately."
Aunt Xu said curiously: "There is no canal transportation here now, isn't this task being handed over to Fengchi Group?"
"Yes."
"Is this profitable?"
"When it comes to Mrs. Li, General Manager Li and I felt that there was no profit at first, but the general manager said there must be something." Brother Wang looked at Guo Dan with admiration again and said, "Facts have proved that the general manager is really good at predicting things, and it is really profitable here!"
Aunt Xu couldn't help but look at Guo Dan again.
Guo Tan smiled and said, "The harvest transport is to complete the task and to make profits from it. If it is really not possible, it will enslave the people and deceive the people. Of course, they will not use their brains to find ways. For profit, we do not have the power to enslave the people. The purpose of both sides is different, and the power is different, and the results are of course different.
Of course, the most important thing is that the economy is developing rapidly. According to the Linqing Chaoguan data, the number of ships traveling last year was ten times that of three years ago. So many ships come and go, and this ship can easily take all the food to the capital."
Brother Wang nodded straight and said, "The Prime Minister is right. That's right. The more goods we are now, the lower our costs will be."
Guo Tan smiled and said, "And it will only be cheaper in the future."
Aunt Xu knew that he was referring to sea transportation.
