Chapter 1022 Twin Engine

"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable! This unreasonable businessman is really too lying!"

Wan Jian entered the lobby of Duke Wei in cursed.

Xu Weizhi looked a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything, but just said curiously: "Mr. Wan, why are you so angry?"

"What else can be done? It's naturally because of the Guo thief."

Wan Jian said furiously: "This traitor is really too bullying. He really treats me as a fool. At this point, he actually sent someone to explain the attack on my mansion to me, and said that it has nothing to do with him, and I am incompatible with this thief."

Xu Weizhi said in surprise: "Has he visited you too?"

Wan Jian's eyes flashed and he asked, "What? He has sent someone to find the Duke of the State?"

Xu Weizhi nodded.

Wan Jian asked, "I wonder why he came to find the Duke of the State?"

Xu Weizhi said curiously: "Don't you know?"

Wan Jian snorted, "Before his man was finished speaking at the door, I asked someone to drive his stick out."

Xu Weizhi said: "Although his people did not directly express their intention, they also implied that it was because of Wang Xijue's state-owned enterprise, and he hoped that I could help him."

Wan Jian hurriedly asked, "Where is the Duke of the State to agree to him?"

Actually, he knew it, but he could not cooperate with Guo Dan. He wanted Guo Dan to die. He found out that Guo Dan's people had come to Duke Wei, so he came in cursingly, with the purpose of testing Xu Weizhi.

"Of course not."

Xu Weizhi snorted: "He burned my Jianxing warehouse. How could I agree to cooperate with him? But I have also sent someone to inquire about this matter. Why is he so nervous and willing to come to me to discuss cooperation? Is this salt profit really so important to him?"

Wan Jian asked, "The prince of the country has found out clearly."

He really doesn't know about this, he is just nervous that someone supports Guo Dan.

Xu Weizhi nodded and said, "Guo Dan had been to the Ministry of War to ask Wang Xijue for an explanation. During the conversation between the two, Wang Xijue also threatened him to rectify the coal and iron ore. I think this is why he is nervous.

I don't think he is eager for salt, but coal and iron are crucial to the Grand Canyon. He is afraid that the state-owned enterprise will endanger him once it succeeds, so he wants to provoke our relationship with Wang Xijue. He knows that the state-owned enterprise will also hurt us, so he wants to win us over."

"So that's it." Wan Jian said excitedly again: "But compared to the harm he caused to us, what does this little salt benefit count?"

"good."

Xu Weizhi nodded and said, "I think so too. I have asked this state-owned enterprise clearly. It's just that if you change the soup or the medicine, how can we lose it? But Guo Dan's words... Humph, I must not let him develop like this, otherwise, this cannon will come to our door one day. I have decided to fully support the state-owned enterprise. It's best to keep everything in state-owned enterprise and not leave any way out for Guo Dan."

Wan Jian hurriedly said, "But we can't be careless. Guo Dan actually looked for me and the Duke of the State. He will naturally look for others. We have to stare at others. Whoever dares to cooperate with Guo Dan is our enemy."

Xu Weizhi sneered: "This is natural."

Of course, Guo Dan made a full-scale attack, and he operated on two lines. On the one hand, he sent people to contact these nobles, and on the other hand, he also sought cooperation with merchants and landlords.

This was planned early in the morning.

Today, Sun Hetian, Chen Sanyuan and other big landlords came to Yinuoya Store.

They have close cooperation with Yinuoya Store and have always supported Yinuoya Store. Now the murder and shelling have come to an end. They have also seen Guo Dan's strength, so they naturally need to strengthen cooperation.

They are different from salt merchants. If salt merchants pursue salt, it depends on who controls the salt.

However, this also requires a question.

Sun Hetian smiled and said, "Consultant Guo, I heard that the government is going to build a state-owned enterprise, I am afraid that your plan to get involved in the salt profit will be vain."

Chen Sanyuan said again: "But I believe Consultant Guo will never give up."

"No, no!"

————

Guo Dan waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Actually, I have no interest in Yanli."

Who would believe this when you say this?

Sun Hetian and the others all looked at Guo Dan with a smile.

Guo Tan smiled and shook his head, saying, "You are too underestimating me. How could I take this kind of salt profit seriously? Otherwise, I would have done it long ago, why would I wait until today? The reason I wanted to use salt profit before was just because some salt merchants didn't have any eyes and dared to deal with me.

Therefore, I plan to spend a million taels of money and let them all lose their fortunes. This is the key. I am here to spend money, not to make this little money. Now that the court is going to intervene, I will let them go, but I will put my words here today. If they are still not good at it, even if the court is in state, I can make them unable to survive."

Sun Hetian and the others looked at each other. What kind of pattern is this!

They only considered how attractive the salt profit was, but never considered Guo Dan. Guo Dan just wanted to deal with the salt merchants, not for the salt profit.

But the more I think about it, the more I feel that this explanation is more reasonable.

It’s just salt profit, am I afraid that the Ming Dynasty’s financial advisers will be favored?

"That's! That's!"

Sun Hetian nodded with a smile.

Standing beside him, Kou Yi admired Guo Dan, as he was like a surging river, endless...!

He was worried about this problem before, because on the surface, Guo Dan was indeed suppressed, so how to admit his cowardice is a big problem.

But I knew that Guo Dan not only did not admit defeat, but also successfully raised his character.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Combination with you is more important in my opinion."

Chen Sanyuan said, "Consultant Guo really praised us. Our money is not as good as salt profit."

Guo Dan shook his head and smiled, "When you are doing business, no matter how much salt profit is, it is not as high as military pay, and it is not as important as military pay. How to manage military pay well is my top priority. Then cooperation with you is naturally the top priority."

It seems to be true that this is true.

The two sides began to negotiate on cooperation.

This negotiation is destined to be pleasant.

Because Guo Dan is here to spend money this time, not to make money, and they are here to make money, it is difficult to be unhappy!

Guo Dan has two goals. First, he should accelerate the commercialization of the Jiangnan region, especially grain. He wants to completely commercialize grain so that it can provide a foundation for the urban economy.

Because under the small peasant economy, it is difficult to develop urban economy. The industrial and commercial population does not grow grain and must import a large amount of grain. If the grain is not commercialized, imports will sooner or later become a problem.

The farmland in Weihui Mansion has always been restricted and only food is allowed to be grown.

Guo Dan wanted to support a group of agricultural giants, and the reason he chose the landlords in Jiangnan was because they had this foundation. He analyzed the agricultural economy in Jiangnan.

Although the Jiangnan region has fertile land and abundant resources, they have to import grain from Huguang because they like to plant cash crops, such as mulberry trees, in exchange for higher profits and then buy grain.

This is the commercialization of farm products.

This is why landlords in Jiangnan were able to quickly absorb the more advanced farming model of Weihui Mansion, which is to enclose land and plan more scientifically what crops to plant.

But this was also forced out, because Jiangnan has a large population and limited land, but the Ming Dynasty's taxes on Jiangnan were very high. If the farmers here did not do this, they would not be able to pay the tax.

The second is that there is no eternal enemy or eternal friend, only eternal interests. In order to seek their support, they must be bound to interests.

Only when Yinuoyasu is in danger, they will suffer heavy losses, and they will fully support Yinuoyasu.

In other words, this can be considered as Guo Dan rectifying his troops.

On the one hand, he is helping the cabinet, but on the other hand, he is also strengthening his own power.

He doesn't trust the cabinet. If he can, of course he wants to kill the cabinet, but at least both sides must be on par, otherwise it would be too dangerous.

He firmly believed that if the cabinet became strong, no matter who was the chief minister, he might kill him. How could others sleep soundly beside the couch?

Of course, the cabinet also thinks so. Whether it is Shen Shixing or Wang Xijue, it is impossible for him to believe Guo Dan.

If this game of chess is not a fat guy, the two sides will definitely have a fight.

But there are more than two tigers on the mountain, and there is also a dragon circling in the air. After all, the dragon has the final say.

At the same time, with the support of the powerful, Wang Xijue's prestige has reached its peak, and he is also accelerating the nationalization of salt making.

He made a very bold decision, which was to hand over the state-owned contract of Lianghuai Salt Farm to the court in Nanzhili, which was established by legislation, which means that the court can only interfere with the development of the salt farm as a shareholder, rather than that any official can interfere with the salt farm.

Ensure the commercial attributes of nationalization.

At the same time, this also ensures the rights and interests of each shareholder. Any shareholder can go to the court to sue the court, because this is just a commercial dispute. The court is only a major shareholder. If there is no court, it will naturally not work. This is definitely a huge pit.

The special nature of the court is that it is not composed of officials, but a group of gentry. They become legal gentry by relying on their own prestige. If they don’t criticize the court these days, they will not have any prestige. Especially in Nanzhili, people who can become legal gentry here must be confronted by the court every day, and they wish the court could kill him with a knife.

They absolutely dare to swear against the court.

Of course, as the major shareholder, the imperial court naturally has the power to regulate macroeconomicly.

In addition, according to Guo Dan's suggestion, Wang Xijue gave the salt research and development rights to merchants. The court was only responsible for producing salt, but the specific salt production was decided by the merchants themselves, that is, it was decided by the market, which was also a means to attract merchants to invest.

Once a salt merchant acquires a shareholding, he can have his own exclusive production line in the salt farm and ensure that his secret recipe is not used by others. This will be written in the contract.

This is to promote the advancement of salt making technology, as well as diversification and competitiveness.

As for the salt-inducing tax, these will be cancelled, and even the tariffs on salt will be cancelled.

Why can the imperial court and local governments own shares? In fact, they are endorsing the salt tax. If they still have to collect salt tax, wouldn’t they collect double profits? They are not stupid.

The salt merchant completely turned to the government.

Of course they invested in the shares. In fact, the start-up capital is all based on their money, and the local government has nothing to do with it.

Of course, they didn't dare to yell with Guo Dan anymore. Guo Dan couldn't mess with the state-owned enterprises, so it was very simple to mess with them.
