"I didn't expect that Guo Dan was so vicious and set such a big trap, fortunately, you were prepared, otherwise, the consequences would be really unimaginable!" Huang Daxiao is really palpitating!

They used to deal with Guo Dan, just using hundreds of scholars to block the door, which was already very terrifying, and Guo Dan inadvertently sent them hundreds of thousands of people, which is really terrifying.

Su Xu glanced at him and sighed, "Actually, the old man doesn't know whether it's right or wrong to do this. ”

Huang Daxiao was surprised: "How can the teacher say this? ”

Su Xu said: "If Guo Dan will never give up all this, then he will inevitably fight back, and we are now using the power of businessmen to calm things, instead of really going back to the past, governed by the government, this business is what Guo Dan is best at, and it may not be wise to compete with him in this regard!" ”

Huang Daxiao said: "But according to the news from the capital, Guo Dan has announced that he will close the tooth store next year and repurchase the shares outside. ”

Su Xu nodded slightly and said, "I hope so." You go back first, the old man is a little tired. ”

"Yes, teacher, you rest first, and the student will leave."

After Huang Daxiao left, Su Xu sat on the chair and thought about it.

In fact, he was very cautious about taking a step, and he didn't really want to take this step unless it was necessary, so before that, he wanted to lobby Chen Wenxun and them to stop them from rushing to change Guo Dan's system.

It's a pity that it didn't work out.

Seeing that the other party couldn't hold on, he stood up.

Because once the merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang settled in Weihui Mansion, it would evolve into commercial competition, and it would be difficult for him to fully control the situation.

"Brother Su! Brother Su! ”

Suddenly, he heard someone calling him, Su Xu was slightly stunned, raised his head, and saw Tan Xian looking at him with a smile, and hurriedly said, "Brother Tan Xian is here, please sit, please sit." ”

After Tan Xiu sat down, he asked, "What is Brother Su thinking, thinking about it?" ”

Su Xu smiled bitterly: "It's not just these things now. ”

Tan Xiu hesitated for a while and said, "Brother Su, there is a saying, the foolish brother doesn't know whether to say it or not. ”

Su Xu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Brother Xian has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Tan Xiudao: "Brother Yu originally thought that Brother Su came here just to build an academy here, so he agreed to Brother Su's invitation at the beginning, but now it seems that Brother Su rarely puts his mind on the academy. At the beginning of the debate with Guo Dan, I supported it, after all, Guo Dan's remarks have their own uniqueness and are worth discussing, but ...... these things now? ”

This is different, not conspiring with each other, talking about cultivation is to engage in learning, but if Su Xu is focused on officialdom, and Nanjing Academy is just a pretense, then he will feel bored staying here!

Su Xu was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "I know very well in my heart that if there is no virtuous brother here in the past few years, Nanjing Academy will never have the glory it has today, and I have not given too much help to the virtuous brother, for which I am deeply sorry." But I did all this for the sake of Nanjing University. ”

Tan Xiu gave two inquiring glances.

Su Xu said: "As Guo Dan said before, this knowledge must be learned to be put into practice, otherwise, it is just a piece of paper, so his Yinuo Academy specializes in providing students with tools to use knowledge, but he ignores one point, that is, the opportunity to use knowledge."

There is no opportunity, even if you study hard in the cold window, even if you are full of economy, even if you are a genius, in the end it will be empty. And now the corruption of officialdom is not based on talent, if it has no relationship, if there is no prominent background, it is difficult to stand out in the court! ”

Tan Xiu nodded and said, "I see." ”

Su Xu bowed his hand and said, "In terms of knowledge, I have to worry a lot about the virtuous brother." ”

Tan Xiu glanced at Su Xu, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

Su Xu has never regarded Guo Dan as an old enemy, the two are in different fields and different classes, and it is impossible for there to be too many contradictions.

He did so many things, not for Guo Dan, but for his own interests, which has never changed.

And his interest is to let his students enter the imperial court and help him realize his ambitions.

He chose to cooperate with Guo Dan for this reason.

But now that the situation has changed, he is also judging whether the cooperation with Guo Dan is still valuable.

He doesn't care if Kaifeng Mansion is contracted by Guo Dan or the government comes back, which doesn't affect the construction of his academy, what he cares about is which side can help him.

He once thought that by contracting by Guo Dan, he could control public opinion and control Kaifeng Mansion, but it turned out that Guo Dan's influence in Kaifeng Mansion was everywhere.

This made him a little depressed.

Not even this benefit, it is obviously more beneficial to him to help the government.

He gave those prefects help today, and those prefects will also give back to him in the future, so that his students will be able to rise to prominence in the middle of the court in the future, which is his ultimate goal, in addition, Jiangsu and Zhejiang merchants settled in the four prefectures, he can also control the economy of the four prefectures, so that Nanjing University became the first university in the Ming Dynasty.

Su Xu's choice is always based on his own interests, not against someone, he is so old, he has already passed the stage of being brave and ruthless.

And because Su Xu was already preparing for Chen Wenxun when they had just arrived here, a large number of businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang had already come to Kaifeng Mansion.

I also have to admit that the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are indeed outstanding people, except for the fact that they can't fight, they are very powerful in other aspects.

Whether it's governance, or doing business.

Merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are also very shrewd.

They haven't done anything else these days, they are all calculating, the benefits and risks of entering Weihui Mansion.

They all want to settle in Weihui Mansion at the lowest cost, the reason is that even if Guo Dan counterattacks when he arrives, we will not lose too much.

The requirements they put forward are actually very simple, that is, the benefits should be taken and the risks should be borne by you.

Even if it is a robbery, it cannot be said wrong.

First, exempt them from all taxes this year, and the government will not ask us for a penny.

Second, they demanded that the rent of the workshop be settled after one year, and the rent should not exceed 10% of their profits during the year, and it should be calculated according to their income, if they make a lot of money, then give a few percent, but if they do not earn much, then it can be 10%, there are many details in it, anyway, how to benefit them, do what they do.

Third, while restricting food prices, we cannot set the standard of wages, and we can afford to give as much as we like.

There are also many detailed requirements, for example, the textile workshop, it must include those textile machines, which are integrated, if you don't give me the textile machine, how can we start work.

This one by one, it means that they don't need to spend any money.

But this time, the government doesn't scold them for profiteers, you can come quickly, whatever you want.

For this reason, they did not hesitate to force Jigui to reopen the former Luwang Mansion, and it was rented on the terms of merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Ji Gui has no choice, although it is royal, but if it is not opened, in case of a riot, he will have to carry this pot, he still temporarily opened the Luwang Mansion, but at the same time, he immediately played the emperor, they forced me to open.

This is much cooler than Zhou Feng and their entry at that time, all of them are ready-made, and the officials are very shameless to give all those textile machines and other tools to Jiangsu and Zhejiang merchants, but to count, this should be regarded as Qinzhuang and Zhou Feng.

The only thing that was not given to them was the hot spring pavilion.

That belongs to Zhu Yihua.

Yinuo Money Bank.

"How so, how so!"

Qin Zhuang said excitedly at Chenchen and Cao Xiaodong: "Didn't your uncle say that as long as they wait for a few days, they will not be able to withstand it?" ”

Zhou Feng also said angrily: "How can this be good? Now that we have lost the Weihui Mansion and offended the officials, we will not be able to mix even if we go back to the capital. ”

Now they are all stuck here.

"Oops! My leather workshop. ”

Hu Yuan cried.

Chen Chen hurriedly said: "Don't worry, uncle, he must have a way, I have already asked someone to send a message to uncle, everyone wait." ”

"Wait any longer, and there will be nothing."

Cao Da foamed at the mouth, and muttered: "I knew this was the case, I might as well have promised Lu Langzhai them." ”

"What are you doing here?"

Hu Du suddenly stood up and said, "Are you so unconfident in Guo Dan?" I think we encountered so many difficulties at the beginning, didn't we all come through it? I believe that Guo Dan will definitely find a way to help us get through this crisis. ”

Xu Han also said: "Yes, we should be more united at this time. ”

Zhou Feng said disdainfully: "Hmph, you are embarrassed to say that your Jin merchants are not closed." ”

Hu Du said: "We have announced the closure of all tea estates yesterday, as long as Guo Dan does not come, our tea houses will not open." ”

Zhou Feng's eyes widened and he looked at Hu Du and them in surprise.

So moral?

At such a time, you Jin merchants are really ruthless.

In fact, it is not that these Jin merchants are righteous, but that this Weihui Mansion is close to Shanxi, and in their opinion, it can be regarded as the sphere of influence of their Jin merchants, but now a large number of merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang have settled in, which makes them feel extremely panicked.

If the merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are allowed to open up the connection with Mongolia, it is equivalent to the merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang controlling raw materials, production, and sales at the same time, then they are still playing fart with the merchants.

For their own interests, they are firmly on Guo Dan's side.

Without any hesitation.

Merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang must not be allowed to control Weihui Mansion.

Of course, Guo Dan still has a hand with them, and it has been useless, although they don't know what the reason is, but they think that Guo Dan still has a chance.

......

Capital.

A few days ago, the general manager's office was a happy place, but now it is a gloomy cloud, and the candlelight makes this atmosphere even stronger.

Guo Dan sat on the chair, his hands behind his head, and closed his eyes silently.

"Husband, once the merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are stabilized in Weihui Mansion, we may lose Weihui Mansion forever."

Kou Zhuansha, who was sitting opposite, said with a solemn face.

Aunt Xu next to her was a little curious: "You shouldn't have thought of this. ”

This has nothing to do with officialdom, it is purely a commercial operation, and Aunt Xu thinks that it is impossible for Guo Dan to ignore this.

Guo Dan slowly opened his eyes and said with a wry smile: "Do you think that the layman is acting now?" I don't think there's any need for me to act in front of you. ”

Aunt Xu didn't make a sound and waited for the following.

Guo sighed: "It's not that I didn't think of it, but for me, the best result is to be able to fight quickly, otherwise, I wouldn't have adopted this suffocation strategy, and now, I don't have the certainty of winning, and even if I win, it will be a miserable victory, and we may have to pay a price of millions of taels ......." ”

At this moment, Yang Feixu suddenly walked in and said a few words in Guo Dan's ear.

Kou Zhuansha and Aunt Xu frowned at the same time, Yang Feixu was rarely so close to him.

After hearing this, Guo Dan whispered to Yang Feixu: "You tell Li Fangchen to go to the treasury to count the silver." ”

Yang Feixu nodded, and then went out through the back door.

Kou Zhuan Sha hurriedly asked, "Husband, what's wrong?" ”

Guo sighed: "The debt collection is coming." ”

"Huh?"

Kou Liansha looked at Guo Dan inexplicably.

Aunt Xu said, "It's Your Majesty who is here." ”

"Hmm."
