Wang Jiaping and the others nodded slightly when they heard this, such a purchase restriction would naturally prevent merchants from competing with the people for food, and it could also be seen that in fact, there was not much food in Weihui Mansion, only because of reasonable distribution, so it seemed that there was enough food.

So can other places do the same?

The answer, of course, is no.

If you want to say that the price of grain is cheap, forget it, because Wang Jiaping and they all know about the price of grain, Guo Dan came here, the first thing he did was to deal with the food problem, although there was an element of coercion and temptation, but he also did it for the people.

The price of the key Weihui Mansion is also surprisingly cheap.

It's really a bit of a madness.

The wages are good, the food prices are stable, and the prices are cheap, so it's no wonder that the villagers of Xiahe Village have to fight in with sticks.

Jiang Yinglan really doesn't believe in evil, and he enters the store every time, but the result is very disappointing to him, from paper to silk, it is very cheap, it is no exaggeration to say that it is so cheap that even Jiangnan, which is rich in products, cannot compare.

The entire Weihui Mansion is flooded with cheap inferior goods.

This is all because Weihui Mansion is changed to a large workshop operation, which will inevitably produce a large number of defective products, these defective products will definitely not be sold at a price, if they are transported to Jiangnan to sell, counting the freight, it will definitely be a loss.

Therefore, businessmen choose to digest on the spot and sell at cost price, so that we don't lose money, of course, businessmen say so, it must still be a little profitable, but it is really gross profit.

It's not that they're kind, it's because they're their employees, and everyone knows how much you're worth.

This just meets the consumption standards of the people of Weihui Mansion, and causes the people of Weihui Mansion to become what to buy and no longer make their own, it is these defective products that make the people completely out of the self-sufficiency mode and directly enter a commercial society.

Based on the principle that bad money drives out good money, this good goods can't be sold in this Weihui Mansion.

Not even a fancy storefront.

It can be seen that no one buys it, and those businessmen are here to make money, not to enjoy.

The high-quality goods are either stored in warehouses and ready to be transported to other places, or they are sold by entertainment venues such as Hot Spring Pavilion and Jinyulou, and will not flow into the market.

That's why the prices in Weihui Mansion are very cheap.

The more I look at this, the more confused I become, I don't understand why, except for the salary, everything else is cheap, which is unreasonable, but Guo Dan is reluctant to say it, Wang Jiaping and they chose to go to the government to have a look.

After all, he is an official, no matter where he goes, the first stop must be the government office.

When I came to the palace, I saw many old people, women and children standing in front of the gate.

"Court?"

Wang Jiaping looked up at the plaque.

Guo Dan hurriedly explained.

Zhang Cheng said suddenly: "It turns out that you haven't been working here for a long time?" ”

"Office?"

Guo Dan smiled honestly: "The prime minister has won the award, where can I do anything, I can't even read a formal official document." ”

Zhang Cheng was curious again: "Then where do you live now?" ”

Guo Dan said: "I live in the Chenlou Hotel. ”

"Inn?"

"Hmm."

Guo Dan said: "I can't be here all the time, I have to go back, so I didn't buy a property." ”

Wu Guansheng on the side wanted to tell Zhang Cheng that the Chenlou Hotel was much more comfortable than here, and the small landlords couldn't afford it, and only a wealthy businessman like Guo Dan could afford to live there.

Wang Jiaping asked again: "Why are there so many people here, what are they doing?" ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't been here for a long time, and they don't welcome me." ”

“.....！”

Poor thing!

Jiang Yinglan was a little sympathetic to Guo Dan.

Wu Guansheng hurriedly replied: "My lord, the court is currently trying old cases left over from the past, because they have found that some cases have many suspicious points, so they plan to retry them. ”

Whether it is a squire or a scholar, they are actually an extension of this system, and they have a clear idea. They knew that they had to establish their prestige at once, and if they did nothing, they would soon be forgotten, because they were not officials, they were just hired men, and their power came from contracts, and they had to find a way to get the people to agree with them.

Therefore, after they took office, the first thing they did was to clean up the old cases, and these days they are open every day, from morning to night.

Although there is no overtime pay, they are all enjoyed.

It's not so enjoyable.

Wang Jiaping and Xu Guo were very curious, they had not seen a non-official trial of a case, so they walked over.

Looking inside, I saw that there were representatives of the three parties, the gentry, the lawyer, and the picket.

As soon as I heard it, it was all some stinky fish and rotten shrimp, and there was no serious name.

But the people were very happy and devoted.

And over there, Zhang Cheng was not interested in this at all, what to judge, wasting time, beating him badly, simple and rude, he took the opportunity to pull Guo Dan aside.

"What the hell are you kid doing?"

Zhang Cheng wondered.

Guo Dan also wondered: "I didn't do anything!" ”

Zhang Cheng said: "This doesn't look like a fake, right?" ”

"What's fake?"

"This is the court."

"It's certainly not fake." Guo Danzhi shook his head and said.

Zhang Cheng said: "Do you really care about anything?" ”

Guo Dan said: "I am in charge of finances. ”

Zhang Cheng said: "What kind of finances do you manage, it's not that you haven't seen the household officials, all of them are arrogant, you are in charge of finance, I don't think there is any difference between you and the people." ”

Guo Dan said: "I'm just a common man!" ”

"You're still pretending to be here, Your Majesty didn't let you be a citizen."

Guo smiled lightly: "There are three tasks ordered by Your Majesty, one is to restore the finances of Weihui Mansion and let the people live and work in peace and contentment; Second, to help King Lu clear his name, uh... That is, to clear up the injustice; Third, make money. Hehe, I've done it, and the rest is not my business, so why should I bother with that. ”

Zhang Cheng thought about it as if this was the case, but after thinking about it, something was wrong, and said: "But you have to have some prestige, no one listens to you, how can you care." ”

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Prime minister, I will return to the capital soon, I want to establish prestige here, what should I do if I leave here, just let them get it." ”

The fact is also the same, if Guo Dan wants to establish his prestige, he can't do it, after all, he has money, but he can't always stay here, what he needs is the system, it's the same with him or not, this is what he wants to see the most, if he stays here, it will be a very failure, he doesn't mind the people scolding him, since the people dare to scare him, then they must also dare to scare others, that's fine.

Who is not afraid of whom, the rules speak.

"That's right, you have to go back to the capital." Zhang Cheng nodded.

Guo Dan suddenly glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "Neixiang, I know that you like rouge, so I have handed over the largest rouge workshop in Weihui Mansion to Xiaojie." ”

"Huh? Oh, hehe....... ”

Zhang Cheng, who reacted, suddenly laughed so much that his eyes were gone, pinching the orchid and pointing at Guo Dan, this kid was too sensible, and the fatigue of his body suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Guo said with a simple smile: "I think the most wrong thing about this matter is the internal minister, which causes the internal minister to run around." ”

Zhang Cheng waved his hand embarrassedly, "Don't say it, don't say it, it's all within our family's business." But Guo Dan, our family is very worried about you in the capital, for fear that something will happen to you, here is not as good as Jingshi, and our family wants to help you, but it is beyond the reach of the whip. ”

"Ouch, there is Lao Nei's concern, Guo Dan is really guilty."

"Alright, alright."

Zhang Cheng waved his hand, this trip was really worth it, he looked back at Wang Jiaping and them, and heheed: "They are still addicted." He walked over and whispered, "Scholar Wang, let's go in and have a look, let's go." ”

Wang Jiaping glanced inside again and whispered, "Don't go in and disturb them, let's go." ”

With that, he quietly went down the steps with Xu Guo and the others.

Zhang Cheng was curious: "What's so nice about this?" ”

Wang Jiaping said: "The internal minister doesn't know, there is a lot of truth in this, although I haven't fully understood, but I think this kind of trial method is more fair and reasonable than the current court trial method." ”

Zhang Cheng was surprised: "Is this true? ”

Wang Jiaping nodded and said: "Whether it is the Criminal Department, or the Dali Temple, or the local government, it is the officials who have the final say, and here, there is one more picket and litigator in the middle, as Guo Dan said, they are just in charge of one aspect, and there is no distinction between high and low, it is not the gentry who has the final say, the gentry only makes a judgment based on the evidence collected by the picketers and the confessions of the parties, as well as the arguments of the litigants, so that the possibility of unjust cases is naturally relatively low." ”

Zhang Cheng nodded as if he didn't understand.

Xu Guo suddenly looked at Guo Dan and asked, "This is what you came up with?" ”

Guo Dan nodded straightly, this time he admitted it simply.

Xu Guo was curious: "How did you come up with this method?" ”

You have a system as a child, better than us, and you don't let people live!

Guo Dan suddenly said with a look of grievance: "Back to the adult's words, this is because these squires and scholars scold me and bully me every day, and I have no way to take them, so I think about finding a job for them, consuming their energy, and letting them stop chasing me and scolding. ”

Fang Fengshi stroked his beard and smiled: "It seems that the effect is not bad." ”

"It's pretty good." Guo Danle smiled.

But in Jiang Yinglan's opinion, this Guo Dan has some stupid shortcomings, how can this power be easily caught, it is completely different from what they imagined, they thought that Guo Dan must be here to be powerful, how do they know that Guo Dan really can't control anything.

Xu Guodao: "What I asked about was this kind of trial. ”

Guo Dan sighed: "At the beginning, I just wanted them to try the case, but I was afraid that they would announce their personal vendetta and give me nothing, so I racked my brains and thought of a way to make them unable to have me, in fact, I was all for my own sake." ”

Wang Jiaping They heard it ridiculously, but after thinking about it, this is also very reasonable, only for their own sake would they think of such a perfect system.

"Let's go to Luwang's Mansion and have a look."

Saying that, Wang Jiaping looked at Guo Dan again and said, "I heard that you split and leased the Lu Wangfu to a merchant as a workshop?" ”

Guo Dan nodded.

Xu Guo snorted: "You kid is really bold, you dare to trade with Luwangfu." ”

Guo Dan whispered: "I was actually forced by King Lu. ”

"Forced by King Lu?" Xu Guo was surprised.

Guo Dan nodded and said: "King Lu felt very guilty when he learned that the Lu Wangfu had brought such a heavy burden to the people, so he asked me to find a way to make up for the local people, and at the same time asked me to no longer use a penny of the people, but to build the Lu Wangfu well."

I am a businessman, I can only think of this way, first split and rent the Luwang Mansion to the merchants, earn commissions, and then use the commissions to build the Luwang Mansion, the workshop is here, it can be regarded as bringing livelihood to the people, which is a kind of compensation. ”

Wang Jiaping said with a smile: "Your method is really good. ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in favor of doing this, they were really afraid, if they didn't do this, they would definitely have to let the treasury allocate money, you must know that the treasury of the Ming Dynasty has never been full, and it will also bring a burden to the people.

Not to mention them, the surrounding state capitals are also unanimously in favor, which is also their only determination to support Guo Dan, and to build Luwang Mansion, they have to be allocated a layer of skin.

When they came to the gate of Luwang's Mansion, no, there was no gate now, it should be the street entrance.

"Where is this gate?"

"Temporarily demolished."

Guo Dan said: "If it is not dismantled, it will be inconvenient for this goods to enter and exit, and it will not be able to rent a good price." ”

“……。”

"Repentance?"

Wang Jiaping suddenly found a stone monument standing at the corner of the street.

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "This is also what King Lu asked." ”

Wang Jiaping just glanced at Guo Dan, and then smiled: "I hope so." ”
