Chapter 231: Fearless Sycophants
Guo Dan, who has always been optimistic about life, of course believes that there is fairness in this world, but at the same time, he also knows that this person is also an animal in the end, weak and strong eaters, and the nature of survival of the fittest cannot be changed, so fairness is only between a weak person and a weak person.
This is the nature of animals, which is immutable, absolutely fair in the world, and is estimated to exist only in the world of robots.
Therefore, the case of Liaodong Mianjia did not cause much stimulation to Guo Dan, because he was not a young man who had just come out of society, and he suddenly felt that the world was so dark.
In addition, he is really busy now, and he has no time to worry about this, because many things this year are carried out in a very hasty situation, whether it is Marseille, or the new tooth shop, or the ranch, there is no very complete process, which is by no means a long-term solution.
Guo Dan has to hurry up and prepare all these things, and he must be on the right track next year.
.....
This year's snow is not heavy, and it is not very long, and in less than half a month, the sky is gradually clearing, which can be regarded as God's help.
Guo Dan also rushed to the racecourse as soon as possible.
But Chen Ping was faster than him, and when he arrived here, the neighborhood was full of people, who were cleaning up debris, building some warehouses for stockpiling materials, and transporting some supplies here, and they were in full swing.
"The staff is really positive, it has just turned sunny this day, and they have already taken action."
Guo Dan nodded approvingly.
Chen Ping hurriedly said: "I was really embarrassed about the timber incident last time, it is rare that the virtuous nephew is still willing to trust me, this time I will definitely not let the virtuous nephew disappoint you." ”
This project alone has already exceeded the total number of projects he has received in his career, can he not be active?
Of course, he still doesn't know that the timber he buys now is actually from Guo Dan, and Guo Dan has made a lot of money from it.
Suddenly, he smelled a burst of aroma, Guo Dan turned his head to look, and saw a lady selling steamed buns in a simple shed, and said with a smile: "I smell a little hungry." ”
Chen Ping smiled: "I have already eaten it before, if the virtuous nephew doesn't think this bun is unpalatable, I invite you to eat it." ”
"Thank you so much." Guo Dan hurriedly said: "My pocket money for a month is only three or five taels of silver, if you want to ask every day, I will not refuse." ”
Chen Ping was surprised: "The virtuous nephew is laughing." ”
You can't buy and sell tens of thousands of taels at every turn, three taels a month, it's incredible.
Guo Dan shook his head and sighed: "I don't know anything outside, this Kou family has strict family rules, and my wife's pocket money is not as good as mine." ”
Chen Ping frowned slightly, thinking to himself, is this the way to the success of the Kou family, well, it seems that I will have to reduce the family's expenses when I go back.
Guo Dan walked over and said with a smile: "Auntie, bring me two buns." ”
"Childe, wait, wait."
When the lady saw the business coming to the door, she couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and quickly took out two big vegetable buns and handed them to Guo Dan.
Guo Dan took the bun, he didn't have the consciousness to pay at all, so Chen Ping hurriedly handed over the money, "No need to look for it." ”
"Oops! Thank you, thank you. ”
The lady was excited.
Guo smiled lightly: "Listening to the accent of the eldest lady, it seems that she is not from the capital." ”
The eldest lady smiled and said: "We are from the northwest, and when the disaster occurred at home, we ran to this capital to make a living, and almost did not starve to death. ”
"Yes, yes, oh, this bun tastes very good."
Guo Dan took a big bite, gave a thumbs up to the eldest lady and praised it, and walked forward with Chen Ping.
Although there is no Marseille here, there are a lot of workers here, and the wives or daughters of these workers can make a lot of money by doing a little business here.
"Guo Dan! Guo Dan! ”
Hearing two shouts, Guo Dan turned his head to look, only to see Liu Xinmou waving his hands and running over here.
After a while, Liu Xinmou came to Guo Dan's side, gasped and said, "Guo Dan, you hurry over, the secretary of the military department is here, and I want to see you by name." ”
"The military department is still in the book?"
Guo Dan was slightly stunned and asked, "Are you here to ask for money?" ”
Chen Ping blinked and coughed lightly: "I... I'll go over there and have a look. ”
With that, he quickly slipped away.
That's too scary to say.
Liu Xinmou said angrily: "I said Guo Dan, do you still want to live, can you say this kind of thing?" ”
Guo smiled lightly: "What can't be said about this, it's not a secret, I also think this is a very normal thing, I have prepared a sum of money to deal with these things, and I still have to give what should be given." ”
Liu Xinmou retorted wordlessly, and said: "Don't think so, the current military department Shangshu is a very honest and honest official, you have to pay attention to your words." ”
Guo Dan sighed and said, "I have a headache!" ”
Liu Xinmou wondered, "Do you still hope that he is here to ask for money?" ”
Guo Dan spread his hands and said: "For me, anything that can't be solved with money is difficult." ”
Liu Xinmou was completely speechless.
Do all rich people think so?
When I came to the prize pool hall, I saw an old man standing in front of the gate with his hands behind his back, looking up at the signboard of the prize pool hall.
It's just the right time.
"The grass people see Lord Shangshu."
Guo Dan came behind him, respectfully and respectfully, in addition to Jinyiwei, or in front of the emperor, he claimed to be humble, in front of the rest of the officials, they all called themselves grass people, it can be seen that he only regarded the emperor as his top boss, in front of the rest of the people, he was just a businessman.
Fang Fengshi turned around, looked at Guo Dan with a serious expression, and asked, "You are Guo Dan?" ”
"The grass people are." Guo Dan arched his hand.
Fang Fengshi said: "The old man has only been out on patrol for half a year, but he never thought about coming back, and he heard that the imperial court contracted the ranch for raising war horses to a tooth merchant, hum, this is really a big news." ”
Guo Dan smiled very perfunctorily, and thought, if you are unhappy, you go to the emperor to ask for an explanation, why did you come to me.
Fang Feng saw that this guy didn't answer, and said, "Let's go, take the old man to see how your horse is raised?" ”
Guo Dan was immediately stunned, and hurriedly said: "Lord Shangshu, this horse hasn't started to be raised yet." ”
"It's been so long, why haven't you started raising this horse yet?"
Fang asked immediately.
It's only been a few months, and even if you apply Indian oil every day, you can't be born so fast!
Guo Dan said: "On this issue, Lord Shangshu may have to ask Xing'anbo, or ask other officials, the grass people are also quite puzzled, how can the pasture of this court not even be as good as the pigsty of the grass people's family, after the grass people take over, they have to be rebuilt, Lord Shangshu, please see, now this place is preparing for the construction work." ”
Xu Mengxi, who is behind the pot, often has to take it out and use it.
The corners of Liu Xinmou's mouth twitched, biting his lip desperately, this kid is really ruthless enough to hurt people, and he has experienced it himself.
Fang Fengshi didn't expect Guo Dan to dare to compare the imperial court ranch to his family's pigsty, although... Although this was true, he raised his hand to the prize hall and said, "Old man, let me ask you, what is this?" ”
Guo Dan said truthfully: "This is the prize pool hall, which is used for the racecourse. ”
Fang Fengshi said: "You are contracting a ranch, and your responsibility is to raise horses for the imperial court, but you built this racecourse first, so it can be seen that you contracted these ranches purely to make money, not to raise horses for the imperial court sincerely." ”
Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Lord Shangshu is really decisive, the grass people are full of admiration, the grass people are here to make money, if there is no money to earn, the grass people will not contract these pastures." ”
Fang Fengshi was furious and said: "How can this be true, you yellow-mouthed child, dare to make a big deal of nonsense in the old man." ”
Guo Dan said aggrievedly: "Lord Shangshu Mingjian, the grass people are from the bottom of their hearts, if there is no money to earn, not to mention the grass people, no one will come, if someone comes, it must be a lie." ”
Fang Fengshi said: "Having said that, but the priority is urgent, you should first help the court raise horses, and then consider this horse seille, do you know how important this war horse is to the country?" ”
Guo Dan was neither humble nor arrogant: "Lord Shangshu is right, this matter does have priorities, but at the same time, there is also a priority, the grass people either earn this money first, what to raise horses, just the land given by the imperial court, that little bit of money, not to mention 5,000 good horses, can raise 1,000, it is already a blessing from God." As for Lord Shangshu's sincere intention to raise horses for the imperial court, the grass people are absolutely sincere, after all, the grass people take the money, so they should raise the horses well. ”
Fang Fengshi snorted: "The old man doesn't believe you merchants now, haven't you heard, it is precisely because you businessmen are corrupt and pervert the law that my Ming soldiers died for no reason, I think you are even more treacherous than the businessman surnamed Hu." ”
It turned out to be because of this. Guo Dan finally understood why this military department secretary came to the door, smiled, and stopped talking.
Fang Fengshi said: "What? Do you have nothing more to say? After the old man returned, he had to suggest to the court that Marseille should be closed and the pasture should be recovered. ”
Those officials have just stopped, and you are going to make a fuss again, are you tired! Guo Dan asked: "Dare to ask Lord Shangshu, can you trust yourself?" ”
Fang Fengshi was stunned for a moment and said, "If the old man doesn't believe it himself, then who else can he believe." ”
Guo Dan said: "If you extrapolate from the theory of Lord Shangshu, Lord Shangshu even dares to believe it, why can't he believe the grass people." ”
Fang Fengshi was a little dizzy, and asked: "You don't want to go around the bend here, yin and yang are weird, if you have anything to say, you just say it." ”
Guo smiled lightly: "As Master Fang Cai Shangshu said, because a cotton merchant was corrupt and perverted the law, my Ming soldier died for no reason, so it is inferred that the merchant is not credible." Although the grass people are ordinary people, they have heard every year that some officials have been mismatched, beheaded, and their homes have been raided, and there are many corrupt people who have perverted the law, and there are many more people who have been ruined than businessmen, so it can be inferred from this that officials are not credible, and if this is true, then it is ....... ”
He looked up at Fang Fengshi.
This kid is inflated, must be inflated.
Liu Xinmou took a breath of cold air, quickly distanced himself from Guo Dan, and complained in his heart, if you want to die, run away, don't bother me.
This is to scold the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
Fang Fengshi's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, he glared at Guo Dan angrily, and said in a deep voice: "You kid is so bold, you dare to tease the old man." ”
Guo Dan hurriedly saluted: "The grass people don't dare, the grass people just talk about things, and Lord Shangshu is partial and generalized, and he is unfair to the grass people." ”
Fang Fengshi sneered: "Your kid is really like a rumor, with a sharp tongue, and his words are reasonable. ”
Guo Dan said: "Back to Lord Shangshu's words, these rumors are true, the grass people dare not deceive the adults, the grass people are indeed good at seeing people and talking about people, and the grass people are good at seeing people and talking nonsense, and the grass people just listened to Liu Gongzi that Lord Shangshu is an honest and honest official, so the grass people dare to speak out, if they are replaced by others, the grass people must be another story." ”
Liu Xinmou hurriedly walked over, this is what I said, and at the same time secretly praised myself in my heart, you are really a must! It's exciting to listen to.
Rao is Fang felt a little blushing at the time, he didn't expect Guo Dan to come to such a sentence, pointed at Guo Dan, and after a while, he said: "You fart just keep it to deal with other people, the old man doesn't eat your set, you can't take out 5,000 good horses at that time, and the old man will never let you go." ”
Guo smiled lightly: "Then it is estimated that you don't need to take action from Lord Shangshu, but Lord Shangshu, please rest assured, although the grass people are just a child, they also know the stakes, this skin does not exist, Mao will be attached, these war horses are also used to protect the grass people, how can the grass people be stupid enough to profit from it." To put it mildly, the money for raising horses can be earned by the grass people when they go to the thatched house, and they can't use their brains. ”
"Last trip to the hut?"
Fang Fengshi looked at Guo Dan with disdain, and sneered: "Since you are so powerful, why do you have to fight to contract these ranches." ”
Guo Dan said aggrievedly: "Lord Shangshu Mingjian, the grass people didn't fight at all, at that time, the grass people really didn't want to take this deal, and they were really contracted to the grass people because there was no one in the court." The grass people also thought of the kindness of His Majesty and Xing'anbo to the grass people, so they reluctantly accepted this deal. ”
Fang Fengshi really regretted why he was talking like this.
Isn't that a slap in the face?
