Chapter 287 Big stick and red dates

This kid was not joking or fighting and showing off his strengths, but had already made plans.

His purpose was to buy the food they had.

Speaking of this, Liang Kui and the others have completely awakened.

But unfortunately, they didn’t wake up early, so they were so vicious that Guo Dan was so angry that they were so angry that they were so hard now!

It's a little late, but it also proves that Guo Dan actually wants them, so they naturally won't submit so easily.

"I think you have any tricks, it turns out that it is the closing method."

A middle-aged man wearing a blue shirt smiled disdainfully and said, "If you say this every year when you have a bumper harvest, you will still be a little sincere, but if you are not getting any debt this year, you will be lacking some sincerity when you propose a closing position method."

The so-called closing method is actually to prevent grain from rising or selling at a low price. In a bumper harvest, the court will purchase grain to ensure that the grain does not lower the price. If the harvest is not low, the court will open the granary and sell grain to ensure that the grain prices will not rise.

However, in recent years, the Lu Wang Mansion was built, and almost all the county governments of Weihui Mansion went bankrupt and could not produce food. The price of this grain has risen year by year, and the people's grain has been confiscated completely. There is no surplus grain and cannot afford food, which leads to this chaotic situation.

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "Don't say that I am begging you now. The reality is the opposite. As long as I pat my butt and leave now, you should know the consequences better than me. But I bought your food for seven cents. Isn't such sincerity enough?"

"you.....!"

The middle-aged man in blue shirt was speechless for a moment and said, "Don't be ignorant. All this is done by you on purpose. You are deliberately framed us."

Now that they have fully understood, this is a pit.

Guo Dan went around Shanxi, but why did Daming Mansion suddenly come out? It was obvious that he had planned it.

Guo Tan said: "I came to talk to you with sincerity, not to quarrel with you, and my sincerity is more than that."

After pausing, he said again: "Yes! Now you are buying your food at this price, which seems a little lower, but you don't think about it. There is still a cost in it from your warehouse to the market..."

Liang Kui said: "Didn't you buy food to help the people? Why did you get involved in the market again?"

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Of course we are helping the people, otherwise, why would I buy so much food? The people here have no money to buy food. As for how to help, I will tell you at that time. We will talk about the price of food now.

In fact, the price of grain is not just about the price of grain. If silk, tools, and daily necessities are all reduced, then the price I give will be more sincere. We can assure you that within one year, these prices will definitely be lower than the current price, and the decline will be greater than the price of grain."

Liang Kui said in surprise: "How is this possible?"

Guo Tan smiled and said, "This will be written into the contract. If you can't do it, I will make up the difference for you."

When these landlords heard this, they couldn't help but whispering to each other.

If this is the case, then the price is really sincere, tax-free, and price reductions. Relatively speaking, the price of grain is rising.

Nowadays, ordinary people cannot afford to buy food, and their food cannot be sold. If you transport it to Kaifeng Prefecture to sell it, the cost will inevitably increase. If you sell it to Guo Dan on the spot, the price is still OK.

Having said that, as far as the current situation is concerned, Guo Dan can actually be a little more ruthless, and they may have to sell it.

Liang Kui nodded slightly and said, "If this is the case, we can consider it."

The others nodded one after another.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Why do you always feel that I am begging you for your tone? We give you such generous conditions, but it is not for nothing. Why don't you ask me what conditions are?"

Liang Kui frowned slightly and said, "What are your conditions?"

Guo Dan said: "I only have one requirement for you, that is, from now on, the tenant farming system will be abolished and the employment system will be adopted."

“This is impossible.”

One man immediately stood up and said, "If this is the case, there is nothing to talk about."

Guo Dan smiled and said with a serious expression: "If this cannot be done, there is indeed nothing to talk about. I will say it clearly. If you do not agree to my conditions today, I will send someone to collect taxes tomorrow. From now on, there will be no tax-free land in Weihui Mansion and no hidden land. Whoever belongs to the land will have to pay taxes. No matter who you rent it to, no matter what matters, I will ask the owner of the land for it."

Old man Xue said angrily: "You dare."

Guo Dan looked at Old Man Xue with a slanted look and said, "This elder is the father-in-law of the Prefect He, Xue Fang."

Xue Fang snorted: "So you know my identity."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Of course I know. I didn't say that it was giving you face. At this point, you still dare to be so arrogant. Do you think your son-in-law can come back? I can tell you now that your son-in-law's official position has been lost. Listen to it clearly, it is an official position, not just a prefect."

Xue Fang's old eyes widened and said in a trembling voice: "You...what did you say?"

The rest of the people also changed their faces.

"You'll find out soon."

Guo Dan smiled slightly, his expression calmed down a little, "Everyone, you are all famous families, gentry, and gentry of Weihui Mansion. I came here to revitalize Weihui Mansion. We should have common interests, not hostile.

Do you think I said tax exemption is not required to pay taxes? No, the court will still collect taxes, but I will help you pay the tax. If you don’t believe it, you can go and inquire. It’s hundreds of thousands of taels a year.

This sincerity alone is enough to prove that I am not here to deal with you. In this situation, it is not too difficult to deal with you, but it will only cause both sides to lose money. Then why not cooperate and win-win? We will make you richer instead of exploiting your money.

Is it because I am just a businessman that we are going to be enemies with me? This is obviously not a wise move!"

Guo Dan is a big stick and red dates.

Liang Kui thought for a while and said, "This matter is of great importance, we need to discuss it carefully."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Of course, but I hope I can get a reply the day after tomorrow. I can afford it, but the people can't."

Liang Kui nodded.

"Goodbye."

Guo Dan bowed and then turned around and left with Xu Jirong and Zhu Yiliu.

As soon as he left, someone immediately said, "Brother Liang, don't you want to agree to them, right?"

Liang Kui sighed: "It's not a question we want to do or not, but we have no choice now. I just said that I'm just trying to think about it, but it's just to find a way for us. If we don't agree, he can not only instigate the people to come and rob us of our food, but also collect our taxes. Besides..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Xue Fang again.

If even He Zhiyan could not come back, I was afraid that other magistrates would be doomed. It can be seen that the court's support for Guo Dan had never thought of letting them come back.

.........

Guo Dan and the others left the Liang family compound and found that there were crowds of people in front of the door, with expectations and fear in their eyes.

Guo Tan smiled confidently and said loudly: "Friends, everything will be fine. I hereby solemnly promise you that in three days, despair will completely disappear in Ji County. As long as you are willing to work hard, there will be food, clothes, and meat."

"Is this...is this true?"

The people seemed to be unable to believe that in three days, despair would disappear. Is this magic?

"Um."

Guo Dan nodded.

The people immediately cried with joy, holding each other's clothes, and their excitement was indescribable.

Just because of those dozens of chariots of money, they had unconditional trust in Guo Dan.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "You go home first. Come to the county government tomorrow to see the notice. I still have a lot to prepare now, so I will say goodbye first."

After saying that, he got on the carriage.

Zhu Yiliu and Xu Jirong also squeezed in.

"Hey, why are you here for me? Go in your own carriage."

"Dan, it's so boring to sit in a carriage alone."

“That’s right.”

Zhu Yili asked again: "Guo Dan, where did your money come from? Why didn't I know that you are so rich, was it my emperor brother who borrowed you?"

"Speak quietly"

Guo Dan looked out the window cautiously and whispered: "The first two cars are all silver, and the rest are covered with stones."

Zhu Yili was shocked and said, "You are really brave. When they took a look at it, wouldn't it be a mistake?"

Guo Dan said: "The result is that they didn't see it."

Come to the government office.

When Dong Ping saw Zhu Yiliu, he hurriedly stood up.

Zhu Yili waved his hand and said, "Just call me Akun here."

This guy is now addicted to being Akun. Although the prince's identity has made him extremely noble, Akun makes him more free, doing whatever he wants and doesn't have to care about other people's gazes.

Dong Ping nodded and sat back.

Guo Dan lowered his arrogance and clasped his fists to Dong Ping and said, "I am not aware of the polite commander."

Dong Ping sighed: "Your humble job really makes me feel mixed. I really don't know who is a humble job!"

Guo Dan said embarrassedly: "I dare not, I dare not. I just came to help. If you don't have any masters here these days, how could you be so calm as you are today?"

Dong Ping said: "Don't be humble. Haven't you arranged everything before I come? Don't you even know those who lead the trouble."

Guo Dan said awkwardly: "You really can't hide anything from you."

He didn't send anyone here, he just bribed some people.

Dong Ping is the three giants of the Jinyiwei. How could he hide the activities of Guo Dan from him?

Dong Ping waved his hand and said, "Okay, what are you going to do next? Oh, I'm asking about public security, I don't care about anything else."

He didn't want to stay here. Guo Dan was just a little captain, but if he was here, he could hear Guo Dan, so he just wanted to complete his mission as soon as possible and return to the capital. He just came over to fight the battle. After the situation was controlled, he would return to Beijing immediately. He would not stay here for a year.

Of course, even if he leaves here, he will not leave this aspect to Guo Dan. Guo Dan had already made it clear in the court that he did not care about this aspect, and if he wanted to, he would not be able to come here. Finance and military affairs are all in your hands, then this land is really not from the Ming Dynasty.

Guo Dan pondered for a moment and said, "There is actually no major adjustments to the officers and soldiers. But I will take back all the fields owned by the court and then contract them to others to plant them. The officers and soldiers no longer need to farm. I will pay them the silver they earn on weekdays, and the treatment will never be less than now. In addition, I hope to draw some people to maintain local public order."

Dong Ping asked: "Is that all?"
