Chapter 152 The great man of business is for the country and the people
Marseilles? ”
Wanli didn't seem to understand for a while, and looked at Guo Dan suspiciously.
Guo Dan hurriedly explained: "The meaning of Marseille is very simple, that is, let people ride on horses, and then compare to see who can run faster. ”
It's really simple, even unexpectedly simple.
Wanli's chubby face suddenly sank: "It turns out that you are talking about horse racing." ”
"Uh... Your Majesty, this horse race is a verb, and Marseille is a noun, or there is a difference. Guo Dan cautiously corrected.
Wanli said angrily: "Whether it's a horse race or a Marseille, this kind of competition was often held in the capital before, so it's a good way." ”
In fact, in his heart, this can't even talk about a way, he originally expected Guo Dan to come up with a way like a painting exhibition, which has never been done before, just as the so-called hope is great, and the disappointment will be doubled.
It's the same painting, why is it so valuable in my hands? Guo smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, this horse race is just one part of Marseille, and there is another important link called horse betting." ”
"Bet on horses?"
Wanli was stunned.
Guo Dan nodded and said: "It is to let the people bet, press which horse can run the first place, win if you win, lose money if you lose, of course, the gameplay is not so simple, but it is roughly like this." ”
"What kind of horse gambling is this, this is clearly gambling money." Wanli was slightly dissatisfied and said: "Why are you thinking of some crooked ways today, gambling money is not allowed by the imperial court." ”
The previous art exhibitions, albums, champion red, and "Interview with Jinshi" were all high-end and high-grade, but I haven't seen them for a few days, why has it become so cheesy, and all the low-end things are taken up.
It's really a dog, you don't want to think about it, if you allow it, how can you make a sure profit without losing money! Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is right, and the grass people also know. ”
"I know you still say it." Wanli didn't have a good airway.
Guo smiled lightly: "The grass people just think that the court has always banned gambling, but the folk gambling houses are increasing unabated, and they are repeatedly banned, so the grass people think that instead of letting them make this money, it is better to let Your Majesty make it." ”
Wanli blinked, tilted his head slightly, thoughtful.
I have to say, it seems to make a lot of sense.
Guo Dan hit the railway while it was hot: "And as far as the grass people know, those who open gambling houses are all from some scoundrels in the market, and they often force the people to sell their sons and daughters, and go bankrupt. We can even stipulate that we must bet with silver, ordinary people do not have much silver in their hands, so naturally they cannot bet, and those rich children can bet, they do not lack this money, for them, this money is a small gambling pleasure. ”
Saying this, Wanli was very tempted, this money gambling is really too righteous, it is simply to save the people in the gambling sea, and his tone softened a little: "Even if I agree, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will not agree." ”
Guo Dan said: "Your Majesty, the grass people just said that the grass people are contracted to the horse administration, and its purpose is to improve the horse breed, and the profits are also used for the horse administration, but for the right way." ”
Wanli saw that this guy was serious and righteous, and he almost believed it, but fortunately, he suddenly remembered that this guy was a businessman, and sighed: "Is it true that all the profits are used for Ma Zheng?" ”
Guo Dan said: "Your Majesty, let's just say this on the surface, in fact, as long as the horse race is held, the horse breed will naturally improve, and where you need to spend any money." ”
Wanli was surprised: "Nature will improve? Where does this begin? ”
Guo Dan said: "Your Majesty, this Marseille does not mean that we just buy horses to race, it is too expensive, as the so-called solo pleasure is not as good as crowd fun, the grass people mean that everyone can put their horses into the Marseille to race, then it becomes this Marseille is to compare whose horse runs faster, and who has the first horse to run and make money, and those who can have good horses are all princes and nobles, civil and military officials."
As the saying goes, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, which is profitable, and can also be out of the limelight, they will naturally try all kinds of ways to train better horses, and their horses will be raised in our horse farm, we can take the opportunity to cultivate better horse breeds. ”
Wanli's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What about this money?" ”
"Naturally, it belongs to His Majesty." Guo Dan said: "This is the grass people's plan to get everything for Your Majesty, keep it safely and make no losses, and moreover, benefit the country and the people, benefit Your Majesty, and count it in one fell swoop." ”
Li Gui on the side suddenly reacted, and after going around for a long time, he went around again.
In fact, Wanli came to Guo Dan this time, mainly to ask Guo Dan if he had thought of a way to make a steady profit without losing money, and then see how the commission was calculated, and then determine whether to force Guo Dan to be his younger brother.
Jin Yiwei is actually the emperor's follower.
It's just that Guo Dan came to the beginning with a sentence of "there is a book to play", which made them forget about it.
Wanli's eyes also flashed, if it was really as Guo Dan said, then this money was earned, and suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Then you don't make money?" ”
You're thinking too much about it, I'm going to make a lot of money. Guo Dan said: "As long as Your Majesty agrees, the grass people have already earned the money." ”
Wanli was surprised: "How did you earn it?" ”
Guo Dan said: "Taifu Temple will contract the improvement of horse breeds to the grass people, so of course you have to give the grass people a commission!" ”
The corners of Wanli's mouth twitched when he heard this, and an urge to kill arose spontaneously.
He still doesn't know how much profit he has from betting on horses, but he has a lot of experience in making money from Taifu Temple, and there is definitely something to be made in it, maybe it's still a big head, so he still wants to take the opportunity to pay money from Taifu Temple.
Profiteer!
Big profiteers!
Guo Dan looked at Wanli's expression was wrong, and thought, you don't plan to let me do it for nothing, then you still have to figure it out yourself, I'm a businessman and I don't make money, why should I waste this energy.
He wants to swallow the hundreds of thousands of taels, but in business, the remuneration still has to be given, otherwise, it is better to enter the palace with a clean body.
Therefore, he did not say it anymore, and it was not interesting to talk about it.
The emperor also has to be rewarded for his meritorious deeds!
Wanli, who came back to his senses, also noticed that Guo Dan's expression was a little wrong, coughed lightly, and said with a relaxed expression: "Although your idea is good, and your original intention is also for the sake of the country, but those ministers may be difficult to understand, and I am the king of a country after all, ......." ”
The implication is that I have to earn money, but I have to find someone to carry the pot, how can I be the emperor who carries the pot.
This is a tacit understanding! Because Guo Dan also had this intention, he said with a smile: "Back to Your Majesty, the grass people are also a businessman, and the grass people are also panicking when they do this, so it is best to hold it in the name of Taifu Temple." ”
"Taifu Temple?"
"Yes."
Guo Dan nodded and coughed: "The grass people think that the process of this matter should be like this, Your Majesty is deeply dissatisfied with the current Ma Zheng, so he blamed the Taifu Temple, and the Taifu Temple was suffering from not being able to come up with a good way, so the matter of improving the horse breed was contracted to the grass people."
And the grass people's method is to hold a horse race, gather the world's good horses to improve the horse breed, and then the Taifu Temple authorized the grass people to hold a horse race, but the horse race is held with money, and the Taifu Temple can not take enough money to hold the horse race, so it is recommended that Your Majesty, the grass people can bet on horses, and the profits will be used to subsidize the horse policy and improve the horse breed. ”
Wanli took a long breath when he heard this, and then squinted at Guo Dan.
Guo Dan was a little flustered, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, is this idea of the grass people inappropriate?" ”
Wanli was expressionless and silent, and after a long time, he said: "I'll stop here today, you can retire first." ”
"Yes, the grass people are retiring."
Guo bowed lightly, and then withdrew.
"Profiteers."
As soon as Guo Dan went out, Wanli scolded: "This guy is really a big profiteer, hmph, knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, if he is an official, he must be a big corrupt official." Li Gui. ”
"The slave is here."
"You go and get me the latest piece of impeachment against Ma Zheng at once."
"Huh?"
Li Gui looked at Wanli in astonishment, you are a little anxious about this turn.
Wanli frowned and said, "You are stunned, don't go quickly." ”
"The slave obeys."
Li Gui is really wrong this time, Wanli scolded Guo Dan because he felt that Guo Dan wanted too much, and he wanted to make money from Taifu Temple, not that this idea was bad.
In Wanli's opinion, this idea is really wonderful.
The meaning of Guo Dan's words is very simple, that is, let Xu Mengxi be the person who carries the blame, if something happens, he can only blame Taifu Temple, blame Xu Mengxuan, Guo Dan He is just a contractor, and he can only contract if Taifu Temple bids first, Wanli is just dissatisfied with Ma Zheng, which is also normal.
It is equivalent to the two of them putting Xu Mengxuan on the fire to roast.
But the money was earned by the two of them, and Wanli was dissatisfied that the money should be earned by him alone, not two people.
This trick is really ruthless and poisonous.
Guo Dan is really specially designed for Xu Mengxi, this is how Xu Menghui got him at the beginning, pushed him to the cusp, and broke his dream of eating soft rice, this is really as deep as the sea, he must also let Xu Mengxi taste this feeling.
......
"Father-in-law. Madame is there too! ”
"Husband."
Kou Shouxin saw Guo Dan coming back, stood up, and asked, "Virtuous son-in-law, did His Majesty summon you to the palace again?" ”
When he spoke, he was proud, which merchant had this treatment, and he was summoned by the emperor at every turn.
Guo Dan nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Kou Shouxin asked again, "I don't know why His Majesty summoned you?" ”
Guo Dan sighed: "It's not a big deal, Your Majesty just wants to ask me if I want to be an official in the household department." ”
Kou Zhuansha hurriedly said: "Husband, don't always joke about this kind of thing, if you are heard, you may get into trouble." ”
"It's true."
Guo Dan said: "There is nothing to joke about this kind of thing, Your Majesty praises me for my financial management, so I want to borrow my talents to manage the country's finances." ”
"Really... It's true? ”
Kou Shouxin's mouth began to tremble.
Guo Dan cried and laughed: "It's true, if your father-in-law doesn't believe it, the next time the prime minister comes, you can ask him." ”
Kou Shouxin's eyes gradually moistened, and he bit his lip and asked, "Then I don't know what official Your Majesty has sealed for you?" ”
"This son-in-law doesn't know."
Guo Dan nodded and said, "Because Your Majesty just proposed it, I directly rejected it, and I didn't have time to say it." ”
Click.
The crutches in Kou Shouxin's hand fell to the floor again.
