After discussing medical insurance, the meeting ended here.

Guo Dan took advantage of the fatigue of rushing to the road and politely declined their banquet and returned to his exclusive courtyard in Chenlou.

But in fact, Zhou Feng and the others didn’t want to talk to Guo Dan about these things. In fact, they still have a lot of things to talk to Guo Dan. After all, the subsidy plan has just ended and has experienced such a big turmoil, with the reduction of tariffs and the changes in the market.

There are too many things to talk to Guo Tan.

However, the medical insurance plan proposed by Guo Dan made them feel that it seemed a bit out of place to talk about these things at this time.

After all, this medical insurance plan was proposed by Guo Dan. Since they did not agree, they immediately hope that Guo Dan would help him. It seems a little embarrassed.

They didn't bring the topic to this.

"Laby, why haven't you waited for us?"

Guo Dan, who had just returned to the courtyard, saw a maid walking out with a few small bowls.

Aunt Xu said, "I thought you would eat with those merchants."

"How is that possible."

Guo Dan snorted: "I hate eating with businessmen the most in my life. It's really full of the smell of money and makes people feel bored."

Yang Feixu said: "I believe that's the same for lay people."

Aunt Xu glanced at Yang Feixu and nodded with a smile.

What's the meaning?

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment before reacting, and then said to the outside: "Prepare two meals, I want to eat with Yang Feixu."

As he said that, he said to Yang Feixu again: "I feel so disgusting to you."

"childish!"

Yang Feixu rolled her eyes slightly.

Aunt Xu smiled and shook her head, and asked again: "You just came here today. They don't hold a banquet to welcome you, so they will talk about the matter until now?"

She thought Zhou Feng and the others would definitely welcome Guo Dan, but after a while, Guo Dan had not even eaten food.

"It's not them looking for me, but I'm looking for them."

Guo Dan sat down and said, "After all, it's not a matter of asking for money for a day or two. I can't stay in Weihui Mansion for long, so I'll talk to them as soon as possible."

"Try money?"

“It’s medical insurance!”

"Then have you agreed?"

"They haven't agreed yet."

"Medical insurance does not cost much. Did they not even agree to you?" Aunt Xu said in surprise.

She thought Guo Dan had helped them so much and took out one million taels, so this medical insurance should be no problem in Weihui Mansion.

Guo Dan smiled and said, "Labies, we are doing business, not talking about loyalty in the world. How can we pay for money so easily?"

Aunt Xu said: "But after all, they have helped so much."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "But when I helped them, I didn't say that I wanted to collect returns. Since I didn't say that, they didn't have this obligation. No businessman would just take out the money casually because of his feelings. But I think they would agree, but this kind of money is a constant expenditure, and they still need to think carefully about it."

Aunt Xu nodded slightly and said, "It seems that I am still thinking too simple. I think it is easy to use your prestige."

Guo Dan said: "In my experience, when it comes to money, you usually feel disappointed when you think it's easy or take it for granted."

Aunt Xu nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your advice, I remember it."

However, she did not stay here to watch Guo Dan eat. After chatting with Guo Dan for a while, she went back to the house to rest.

Guo Dan was not so relaxed. He didn't come here to see it. He had to finish the game, so shortly after the meal was finished, Cao Xiaodong and Chenchen came.

"I don't really want to see these things yet."

Guo Dan put the information handed over by Cao Xiaodong on the table beside him and asked again: "How much did we spend this time?"

Cao Xiaodongdao: "If it is not included in the losses of the transportation team, we spent a total of 350,000 taels, of which 50,000 taels were spent in the construction of Xinxing and Money Houses, 100,000 taels were spent in helping Weihui Mansion merchants pay interest and rent reductions, and 200,000 taels were spent in the debt and silk acquisitions of Jiangnan. But if we included in the transportation subsidies, it might reach 600,000 taels."

Guo Dan asked again: "How much is the tax left in Weihui Mansion?"

Cao Xiaodong said: "We received a total of 500,000 taels of tax revenue last year. After deducting expenses, we still have 450,000 taels left. Because Xinxing and the money shop did not use it to get money, we still have 150,000 taels left. It is still 30,000 taels left than the taxes paid to the court every year, but our contract can help us fill it."

"Son-in-law, I really feel it's a bit unfair. Why do we pay for this money? They are all paying for money." Chen Chen said with a grievance: "Son-in-law, you don't know. They have made a lot of money recently. Just say that the Qin family has a silk shop. I heard that their profits have doubled compared to before."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Don't feel wronged. I don't want to pay the money."

He asked Cao Xiaodong again: "Can the fiscal revenue of Kaifeng, Huaiqing and Zhangde governments be calculated clearly?"

He has always been paying attention to the financial situation of these places, but he has not counted it in detail.

Cao Xiaodong nodded with an extremely excited expression: "Brother Guo, we have calculated it clearly. We have made a full million taels of fiscal taxes in these three governments alone, and we have spent more than 200,000 taels on the river."

Guo Dan said in surprise: "So many?"

Cao Xiaodong said: "I'm not hiding it from Brother Guo, I didn't believe it before. We all made up several times before we confirmed that we were not wrong."

Guo Danzhi frowned and thought, "I know that during this period, we will bring some profits from Daming Prefecture to Kaifeng Prefecture, but there shouldn't be so much!"

Cao Xiaodong looked around and whispered: "Brother Guo, there should be so many."

Guo Dan said curiously: "How do you say this?"

Cao Xiaodong said: "There were not much tax before, because Kaifeng Prefecture had many lands that did not pay taxes, and many people were forced to escape from Feng Prefecture, leaving many unowned wastelands. Now, those big landlords have to pay taxes, so there are a lot more here. Because there are many people going to Kaifeng Prefecture, many wastelands have turned into vegetable soil, which also has to pay taxes!"

"Yeah?"

Guo Dan chuckled twice: "This is really ironic!"

But in fact, if you can serve as the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, you will never be a foolish official. You must be a capable minister and an official. Kaifeng Prefecture will bear the food in the capital. However, the problem is still the same. If you can work, you will also persuade the farmers and farmers, and continue until you die. Not to mention that they are also affected by the entire system, environment, and ethics.

The upper limit is very, very low.

If not many people go hungry, that is very successful.

Although Kaifeng, Zhangde and Huaiqing have maintained the traditional small peasant economic route so far, the local commodity economy has also developed very rapidly due to the existence of Weihui Mansion and the support of private colleges.

It’s like this inadvertently, the vegetable and soil economy began to rise in Weihui, Kaifeng, Huaiqing and Zhangde.

In the past, I almost always ate it by myself because of the small peasant economy. Everyone grows vegetables, who can you sell them to? The vegetable soil is just to ensure that the people serve food, and it has no impact on the entire economy.

But now it’s different. A large number of people go to the workshop and they need to buy vegetables, which makes growing vegetables very profitable.

However, since Guo Dan not only did not inhibit land annexation, but also accelerated land annexation, this formed a large-scale manor and had relatively strong regulatory capabilities.

The landlords are all calculating, what seasons to grow and what vegetables to combine to make the most profitable.

Because no matter what you plant, you won’t have to worry about selling.

Then this brings many deeds and population taxes that were not previously available.

Not only that, the farmers used to have poor harvests, and the weather was one reason, and they were limited in financial resources and it was difficult to manage the land well. However, now that the landlords take over, it is different. They can manage the land very well.

This has improved regardless of output and tooling.

Because of the developed economy and the growth of population, agriculture has become very popular. Now, no matter what you plant or raise in Weihui Mansion, you have to make a lot of money.

This is also another sadness in the small peasant economy.

The whole country advises agriculture and sericulture and attaches importance to agriculture, but the development speed is far lower than that of agriculture under the commodity economy.

Money can make the devil push the mill.

The commodity economy and capital economy will definitely stimulate agricultural development, because the demand increases, you can make money by planting anything. Those people are trying to find ways to use the same land to grow more crops.

At the same time, we will develop more wastelands. Some barren lands were unable to grow food before, so they became wastelands. But now these wastelands are used, and I will plant whatever I can, which will inevitably require more manpower.

I used to be a tenant farmer, but I don’t care what you plant or how much you produce, and I can’t rent less anyway.

Nowadays, it is very difficult to hire people to farm, because businessmen also need manpower.

This leads to the development of agricultural technology exceeding the development of industrial technology.

The wind power was first used by people.

The next morning, outside the northern suburbs.

"This Weihui Mansion is changing with each passing day!"

Aunt Xu looked at the rows of windmills in the distance and couldn't help but sigh.

When I came at the beginning of the year, I hadn’t seen any windmills. In less than a year, the windmills around the world were everywhere.

Guo Dan said curiously: "Why are there so many more windmills?"

Chen Chen hurriedly said, "Son-in-law, you don't know that now, whether it is a mill or a water wheel, all the windmills can be used in our Weihui Mansion. This is because it was difficult to buy food during that period, and the landlords of our Weihui Mansion all wanted to produce more food. But for a while, this person was not easy to recruit, so they thought of using this windmill instead of people. But in just half a year, our Weihui Mansion had six thousand more windmills. Oh, the old man Franchise also helped."

"Six thousand?"

Aunt Xu was shocked when she heard this.

Chen Chen nodded and said, "It is estimated that it will exceed 10,000 at the end of the year."

Aunt Xu was completely speechless.

This is a monster!

Even if the windmill is easy to use, there is no need to do so much.

Are you crazy?

But this is the capital economy. For those big landlords, the windmill is cheaper and much cheaper than hiring people, so everyone installs the windmill as much as possible. Even if there are people, they try to install the windmill as much as possible.

Guo Dan was also speechless.

Businessmen are really unpromising!

Lose to agriculture in Weihui Mansion, this...!

At that time, he asked them to develop technology and reduce costs, mainly to talk to the merchants, but unexpectedly, the agriculture started to rise first.

Aunt Xu also felt embarrassed.
