Guo Dan, an officialdom novice, couldn't guess Wanli's mind at all, he was really unwilling to make any financial statements for the imperial court, because it was meaningless, such as contracting the horse farm, he had absolute control, and he could improve the situation of the horse farm.

But contracting this financial statement, he is just a tool man, without a trace of power, doing technical work, but at the same time it will be disgusting, which is a thankless task.

But he has no choice, he is now on the same ship with Wanli, Wanli is good, he is good, since Wanli took the initiative to contract to him, of course, there is a reason, he can only agree.

But unlike before, he won't use his brains for this, and when Wanli arranges it, he will follow how he acts, and he puts himself in a passive position.

In fact, Wanli also plans to do this, he has no shortage of thinkers and helpers in the court, but Guo Dan is the only one for him, so in this matter, he asked Zhang Whale to operate.

However, Wanli did not go to court, and the hundred officials refused to give up, and they bombarded the cabinet one after another.

But every twist and turn is nothing new, all of them are about etiquette, citing the disadvantages of abolishing the long and standing young in each dynasty, and making a long statement, as if Wanli does not canonize the prince, the heavens will be angry, and they have become superstitions.

This is actually a major drawback in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

The entire bureaucracy has made etiquette the main means of governing the country, but it is technology that is needed to govern the country, not these red tapes, and morality does not solve any problems.

If this is changed to Guo Dan, it is estimated that he will not be able to finish watching a single recital, and he will already fall asleep, which is really not as vivid as "Zuo Biography", which is very boring.

Fortunately, Shen Shixing is used to this boring work, and his main strategy is to appease everyone.

But Wang Jiaping was unwilling, he wanted to make a difference, but his recital was also no news, put down a cookie-cutter recital, he glanced at the rest of the recitals on the side, he really had no interest in looking at it anymore, and couldn't help but say to Shen Shixing: "Lord Shoufu, it's not a way to go on like this, Your Majesty won't canonize the crown prince for a day, everyone has no intention of politics, and this government affairs will probably be wasted." ”

The implication is that we also have to do something to make the emperor hurry up and appoint the crown prince, because there are too many conflicts caused by this matter, which seriously affects the operation of the country.

Shen Shixing didn't want to have a conflict with Wanli because of this matter, but at the same time, he didn't want to offend his colleagues, and sighed: "It's not that we haven't played, but Your Majesty doesn't see anyone, and we can't do anything about it!" I think what we have to do now is to appease everyone, handle government affairs first, and then find an opportunity to discuss this matter. ”

Wang Jiaping nodded helplessly, Wanli's move really made them very helpless.

At this time, an official entered the house and muttered a few words in Wang Jiaping's ear.

Wang Jiaping's eyes widened, "Hurry up and bring it." ”

"Yes."

The official immediately took out a secret piece and handed it to Wang Jiaping.

Wang Jiaping hurriedly opened it, looked at it for a while, and suddenly said angrily: "It's really unreasonable." ”

Shen Shixing asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Jiaping said: "Someone just went to the secret to impeach the magistrate of Yongqing County, embezzled bribes, bent the law for personal gain, and shielded a local death row prisoner. With that, he handed the secret music to Shen Shixing.

Shen Shixing took it and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but have an angry face.

The secret said that the son of a large family in Yongqing County had committed rape and murder three years ago, and had been sentenced to death by the imperial court, but the big family spent 10,000 taels to bribe local officials, and the person is now living freely.

Shen Shixing immediately said: "If this matter is true, it must be strictly investigated to the end." ”

Wang Jiaping frowned slightly, and said: "Lord Shoufu, this Yongqing County is on the edge of the capital, however, this Zhixian is so bold that he is only afraid of ......" ”

He didn't finish his words, but Shen Shixing didn't know what he meant, Yongqing County also belongs to the scope of Gyeonggi, if there is no one in the court, then how dare Zhixian do this, and said, "I don't know what you suggest?" ”

Wang Jiaping muttered a little: "Let's keep quiet first, let Fang Shangshu secretly investigate this matter, and wait for the stolen goods to be obtained." ”

Shen Shixing nodded slightly and said, "That's it." ”

......

However, they didn't know that Wanli, who lived deep in the palace, knew everything about this matter.

"When is the time?"

Wanli looked at Zhang Whale.

Zhang Whale nodded and said, "Wang Jiaping secretly asked Fang to investigate this matter at the right time. ”

Wanli smiled: "So I can rest assured." ”

Zhang Whale said again: "Your Majesty, how to deal with a few secret performances?" ”

Wanli said: "Those few secret performances will be put here first, if you play a few secret performances at a time, I am afraid that it will make people suspicious." ”

As he spoke, he asked again, "When do you think Fang Fengshi will be able to find out?" ”

Zhang Whale said: "Yongqing County is not far from the capital, and the local people know about it. ”

"Five days?"

Wanli thought for a while and said, "You immediately announce that the court meeting on the ninth day of the first month will be held as scheduled." ”

"Yes."

......

At this time, Guo Dan had already forgotten about the contracted financial statements, and he didn't have the extra energy to think about it now.

He has been inspecting the new racecourse for the past few days, and only returned to Tooth today to do so.

Entering the lobby, I heard a noisy sound, since the fifth day of the new year, the lobby of the tooth shop is full, they don't seem to want to be fresh, but really treat this tooth shop as a restaurant, which makes Guo Dan very headache.

"Give each table a pot of champion red, and my young master will treat you."

An arrogant voice was heard.

Wipe! You're really thinking of this as a bar. Guo Dan took a partial look, it was not Xu Chun, and saw Xu Jirong, Zhu Yihua and other sons occupying the bar, so he immediately rolled his eyes, walked over, and said with a smile: "It's really early and coincidental!" ”

Xu Jirong saw that Guo Dan was coming, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, but he said weakly: "Give a pot of wine to Dan Dan." Alas...... ”

As he spoke, he looked up and sighed again, his melancholy eyes full of compulsion.

Zhu Yihua on the other side glared at him, as if he had something in his mouth.

Guo Dan didn't pay attention, and said curiously: "Little uncle, inviting someone to drink, it's boring to sigh, you see that everyone is not in high spirits." ”

Saying that, he was also curious, why did everyone scoff at this person for a drink, although Xu Jirong was a little bit coercive, but his money was not stinky.

Xu Jirong sighed again, "Faint, you don't know, I invited everyone to drink because I was unhappy." ”

Guo Dan asked, "Then when you are happy?" ”

"Please drink too."

"Reasonable."

Guo Dan nodded, very prodigal, and asked again, "Why are you unhappy?" ”

Zhu Yihua said depressedly: "Brother Rong is not happy, you just have a few drinks with him, why do you ask so much?" ”

Xu Jirong said excitedly: "Care about me lightly, what does it have to do with my brother?" ”

Saying that, he immediately said to Guo Dan: "Light, do you know, from the Lantern Festival to today, many people have come to my house every day to propose marriage, hoping to marry their daughters and granddaughters to me, but they annoyed my grandfather and his old man, so I didn't train me less, if you really talk about it, it's all your fault, but put my appearance in the album, you can put my brother's." ”

Countless disdainful gazes shot at Xu Jirong.

Zhu Yihua was even more angry: "Brother Rong, what are you talking about? Didn't you say that my brother's appearance is not as good as yours? ”

Xu Jirong said: "Isn't it? Do you want to find a good family to ask? ”

"You're .....!"

Zhu Yihua was so angry that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage.

Guo Dan finally understood why everyone was sneering at Xu Jirong's wine, and couldn't help whispering to Xu Jirong: "Little uncle, this kind of forced pretending is enough once, always pretending, lacking novelty." ”

"Faint, we're really like two fools."

Xu Jirong was overjoyed when he heard this, hugged Guo Dan, and whispered: "Faint, I recently thought of a big force." ”

"Big force?"

Guo Dan was confused.

Xu Jirong nodded straight and said, "I plan to go to the imperial examination." ”

"Poof!"

Zhu Yihua immediately squirted out a mouthful of stuffy wine and looked at Xu Jirong in shock.

Guo Dan took a big breath of cold air, "Branch... Imperial examination? ”

"Hmm."

Xu Jirong said triumphantly: "Look at my brother's appearance, if I get the top prize in the exam, how beautiful do you say I am, is this a big force?" ”

Guo Dan asked in a low voice: "Little uncle, what is the next sentence on the afternoon of hoeing day?" ”

"Chunchun." Xu Jirong turned his head to look at Xu Chun.

Xu Chun said: "Young master, it's sweat dropping into the soil." ”

"Sweat drops down the soil."

“.....！”

Guo Dan wondered: "Little uncle, where did you get your confidence?" ”

Xu Jirong said confidently: "Of course, it's from the 'Beijing Double Fool', we cooperate, but we have never failed, let's set a small goal first, take the top prize, and then go to fight the Mongols... Faint, where are you going? ”

"My stomach hurts, go to a thatched house first."

The voice was already coming from outside the lobby.

Guo Dan rushed all the way to the president's office.

"Scared the hell out of me! Scared the hell out of me! ”

Guo Dan sat opposite Kou Zhuan Sha and patted his chest, "It's really terrifying." ”

Kou Zhuansha was curious: "What's going on?" ”

Guo said lightly: "Madam, do you know that the little uncle wants to participate in the imperial examination. ”

"Little uncle participating in the imperial examination?"

Kou Zhuan Sha was shocked.

"Look, you're scared like that, too." Guo Dan shook his head and said, "That kid is really crazy." ”

Kou Zhuisa asked again, "But what does this matter have to do with you, husband?" ”

Guo Dan said angrily: "He wants me to help him, I am a little child, he actually asked me to help him take the top prize, I... Madame, do you think he is deliberately mocking me? ”

"I don't know." Kou Zhuan shook his head and asked, "How is the new racecourse?" ”

Guo sighed lightly: "The progress is very good, but Zhou Feng and they are still too slow, and they are ready to increase investment and let Chen Ping recruit more people, it is strange to say, there don't seem to be any homeless people coming to the capital recently, I really don't know how those corrupt officials do things." ”

Kou Zhuansha rolled her eyes slightly, but thinking about it, he dared to call the emperor iron rooster, which was nothing, and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Isn't it because of our tooth shop, the lobby of our tooth shop is now about to become a restaurant, and I am about to die." Zhou Feng and they are even more depressed, which makes them lose face, so they also plan to learn the service of our dental shop, these days, they have recruited a lot of girls over there, and they will come over to discuss this matter, hoping that we can help them train bartenders.

But this is just one of them, everyone likes to stay here, and there is another reason, because because of the pattern, the new restaurants over there are all this pattern, and they are now full of confidence in the new restaurant, so they urged Chen Ping to build it as soon as possible. ”

"I see."

Kou Zhuansha nodded, and said: "Just now there was a letter from Nanjing, saying that the album was a great success over there, and the supply exceeded demand, and I hope we will ship another 100,000 copies over." ”

"100,000 copies?"

Guo Dan rolled his eyes and said: "Who is this letter, opened him, it really doesn't hurt to stand and talk, there is a shortage of supply here in the capital, he opened his mouth to 100,000 copies, and I will send 100,000 copies." ”

Kou Liansha pursed her lips and smiled: "It's a good thing that the album is so popular over there, he just suggested that we decide how many copies to send." ”

Guo Dan groaned a little and said, "Let's send 10,000 copies first." It seems that the Gojo gun side also has to quickly expand the scale of production. ”
