Chapter 337 Greed
With Gan Fanren around, the papermaking business will naturally be very smooth and will definitely not encounter any trouble.
If Gan Fanren can really conquer the world one day, then as His Majesty's man, he will naturally enjoy endless benefits.
Miao Yiren simply calculated in his mind and immediately agreed.
"Twenty percent is really too little. I'm just running errands for you. This method was thought up by you. How can I take eighty percent?"
"Fifty-fifty, at least fifty-fifty."
Gan Fanren said with a smile, "Fifty-fifty is not necessary. I have an unwelcome request."
"I hope Brother Miao can give ten percent of the profit to the papermaker, and ten percent to the people."
"Of course, of course."
Hearing Gan Fanren's words, Miao Yiren realized that Gan Fanren was not a person who sought fame and reputation. He really wanted to do something for the people.
Miao Yiren deeply admired Gan Fanren's character.
"It is a blessing for the people to have a lord like you."
He sighed deeply.
The bureaucrats in Dayun were more corrupt than each other. When he did business, 80% of the profits were used to honor various officials. After deducting various expenses, there was not much left in a year.
Now that Gan Fanren came, he canceled the tax for three years and did not take the initiative to look for these businessmen to donate money.
Originally, they thought that war was a terrible thing for them. When the new master came, it was inevitable that he would find a way to skin them.
If they lost, the original court officials would certainly find a way to recover the losses of the war.
Therefore, whether they lost or won, it was not a good thing for them.
This situation made him feel good about this new master. When he heard that this master was the benefactor who saved his daughter, he spontaneously and proactively offered money.
Not long after he left with Ru'er, the servants in the house brought silver.
Dozens of boxes of gold were carried in, attracting the attention of many people along the way.
"Miao Yiren usually keeps quiet, why did he suddenly send so much silver to our new emperor?"
"Needless to say, of course he wants to build a good relationship with the new emperor."
"War is the most expensive, no amount of silver is enough, he is sending money now just to show his face to the new emperor."
"This Miao guy is quite calculating, we can't let him outsmart us, why don't we also send some money." Miao Yiren sent money, and others were afraid of being outsmarted by Miao Yiren. They sent gold and silver
one after another. These gold and silver solved Gan Fanren's financial difficulties in an instant. Gan Tian took advantage of everyone's "inattention" and quietly came to the box of gold and silver, stretched out her little hand and put some gold and silver into the system. In order to earn gold coins, she had been planting and selling vegetables in the system every day some time ago. Now she finally has the opportunity to not have to plant and sell vegetables every day. She collected the gold and silver quickly, not taking more. She took one from each row, so that the silver was very evenly distributed. She took it all equally. If it wasn't weighed, it would be difficult to tell that there was less silver just from the way it was placed. Although she had tried very hard to collect the silver, she was still young after all, and her walk was still a little unsteady. No matter how fast she speeded up, it was still a little slow. In order to collect the silver, she tired herself out and sweated. Fortunately, everyone was chatting and no one noticed her. She didn't know that her sneaky look had been discovered by everyone. But because of her thin skin, no one dared to show it, and had to cooperate with her, pretending that they were busy and chatting. Gan Tian looked at the gold coins in the virtual city system and showed a satisfied smile. With these gold coins, there is nothing to worry about in the short term. Seeing that the young man had collected all the gold coins, Gan Fanren put away the gold and silver. Just as he put it away, the servants came to inform that someone was at the door. When the wealthy businessmen saw Miao Yiren coming, they were all anxious. The bureaucrats in Dayun before were greedier than each other. If these bureaucrats were not fed, they would certainly not let them off easily. Seeing that Miao Yiren took so many treasures, they had already determined in their hearts that the benevolence and righteousness that Gan Fanren had shown before were all fake. Those kind deeds were all for winning people's hearts. Look! Behind the backs of the people, he blackmailed Miao Yiren. Otherwise, Miao Yiren must be a fool to take out so much money on his own initiative. Although it hurts, money is not as important as life. It's worth it to buy life with money! They came to Gan Fanren's door with money in their hands, fearing that they would be remembered by Gan Fanren if they came too late. They all had bitter faces, and they looked as if someone had died in their family. None of them had a smile on their faces. Gan Fanren originally thought that these wealthy businessmen, like Miao Yiming, wanted to do something for the people, but when he saw their expressions, he immediately understood that they might have misunderstood. "You should take back the money. We Shunyi Army will not accept your money." Several wealthy businessmen looked at each other. They saw that Miao Yiren took a lot of money, box after box. Why did they accept Miao Yiren's money but not theirs? Did they think they gave too little? Everyone's faces became worse and worse. Greedy! The Shunyi Army is too greedy! They took a lot of money! "Everyone, we Shunyi Army are different from Dayun officials. We don't accept money from the people." "Sir, do you think we give too little?"
"You tell us the amount, and we will definitely do it."
The rich businessmen were so heartbroken that they didn't even have the strength to raise their heads.
"You didn't come here because you saw Miao Yiren bringing money?" Gan Fanren waved his hand: "You misunderstood." "
Miao Yiren and I are old acquaintances. I saved her daughter. She knew that I was in financial difficulties, so she came to help me."
"Now the money is enough, please go back."
After hearing Gan Fanren's explanation, everyone was skeptical.
They always felt that things were not that simple. They
had suffered too many losses at the hands of Dayun's bureaucrats, and they no longer believed that these bureaucrats would let them go so easily.
Although they didn't know what Gan Fanren's intention was, it was definitely not that simple.
The wealthy businessmen returned home and waited for several days but Gan Fanren's tricks did not come.
Some of them lost their patience and went to find Miao Yiren.
But they found that Miao Yiren was recruiting people.
"Are you going to open a new shop?"
"What kind of shop needs to hire so many people!"
Miao Yiren did not hide it from everyone and said proudly: "I am going to open a new shop and do a lot of business."
"The situation is unclear now. Aren't you afraid of losing money if you do business at this time?"
"Of course not. This transaction is unprecedented and I will definitely not lose money."
"And this recipe was given by our new emperor. As long as he is here, I will definitely not lose money."
