Chapter 434: Standing Wood at the South Gate

In fact, Guo Dan himself is not against gambling houses, because he himself is engaged in Marseille, how can he hate gambling.

However, he banned gambling houses in Weihui Mansion, but he did not engage in any double standards, in fact, his philosophy has always been firm.

He's just a businessman, and no matter what he does, it's definitely from the perspective of profit.

The existence of the gambling house in Weihui Mansion will hurt his vital interests, of course he has to prohibit it, Marseille can make money for him, then of course he supports it, it's as simple as that.

Wang Yu, Xue Wenqing, and Yan Shen agreed very much with this, because the gambling house will breed a lot of right and wrong, which will consume a lot of resources of the three courts.

No one wants to get themselves in trouble.

In fact, if the object was not Li Rusong, they would also consider this problem.

But it was Li Rusong, in Xue Wenqing's view, Li Rusong was the wood that Shang Ying stood in front of the city gate, as long as he was taken down, the system of Weihui Mansion would be well consolidated, and no one would dare to make trouble here easily in the future.

Therefore, the court was very eager to let Li Rusong be punished, and its purpose was not to target Li Rusong, but to defend the system of Weihui Mansion.

Therefore, when Guo Dan said that Li Rusong might be sent back to Jingcheng, they were still a little dissatisfied, and they felt that even if they wanted to send Li Rusong back to Jingcheng, they should be punished in Weihui Mansion first.

But Guo Dan is also reasonable, the system of Weihui Mansion is given by the imperial court, so naturally it cannot be above the imperial court.

This priority still needs to be clearly distinguished.

And that night, Li Rusong asked to see Guo Dan again.

After all, Guo Dan only gave him half a day to think about it.

Guo Dan also immediately rushed to the picket.

"I don't know what the general has to tell me when he comes to me?" Guo Dan clenched his fists and asked.

Li Rusong looked at Guo Dan with a torch in his eyes, and said, "Let me ask you again, what you said during the day, but is it true?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Regarding the truth of this matter, after the general returns to Beijing, he can be famous to His Majesty, if it is false, then I am falsely preaching the holy will, this is a capital crime, and then the general can sue me in front of His Majesty, and any grievances will come out." ”

Li Rusong frowned slightly, looked directly at Guo Dan, and after a while, he said: "I will not leave Weihui Mansion, I am willing to accept the court's judgment." ”

For him, it was really tormenting for half a day, and he was tormented by guilt all the time. He felt that he was ashamed of Wanli and lived up to Wanli's expectations, you must know that in ancient times, this courtier failed to live up to the grace of the saint, it was really unforgivable, where did he still have the face to see Wanli.

If he is killed now, he will not leave the Wei Hui Mansion.

If you choose to leave, there is no need for you to stay here. Guo smiled lightly: "Many years later, the general will definitely be glad that he made this decision." ”

Li Rusong immediately asked, "You already expected me to do this?" ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "People's hearts are unpredictable, how could I have expected this, I am not a god, the fate of the general has always been in the hands of the general himself, fortunately, the general has chosen a very correct path." ”

"Really?" Li Rusong asked expressionlessly, "How do you say this?" ”

Guo Dan said: "The general has been on the battlefield for a long time, I don't know what the general thinks is the most important thing for an army?" ”

Li Rusong groaned for a moment, and asked instead of answering: "I want to hear your high opinions?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "My answer is strict military discipline and money." ”

Li Rusong nodded with a smile and said, "It's almost these two points." ”

Guo Dan shrugged and said: "But looking at my Ming Dynasty's hundreds of state mansions, only Weihui Mansion has these two points. ”

"It's a shame." Li Rusong snorted.

"I'm humbly saying it."

Guo smiled lightly and said: "The general should understand that these soldiers are all from the people, if the people themselves are accustomed to discipline, then strict military discipline is naturally not a problem, why is the Qin Dynasty so strong, is it not because the legal system is strict, the people are used to discipline, and they are a qualified soldier when they take up arms."

And now that the general is sitting here, it has fully demonstrated that the law of Weihui Mansion is strict, which has laid a good foundation for a well-trained army. The general does not need to use his prestige for this purpose at all. ”

Li Rusong was silent.

This is already an indisputable fact.

When he was arrested in the barracks at that time, except for his cronies, all the soldiers present thought that Li Rusong should also abide by the laws of Weihui Mansion, instead of blindly supporting Li Rusong.

This shocked him at the time, as it was hard to see in any army.

Speaking of which, this is actually all the credit of Tong Li, because Tong Li is a strict self-disciplined person, if you ask him to clean up the streets and ditches, he will also complete it seriously, and will never be perfunctory.

"That's just one of them."

Guo Dan continued: "Second, fighting a war is money, and without money, it is difficult to win a war. And most of my Ming army is very corrupt, not to mention the reward money given to the soldiers, even the armor that protects the soldiers and the weapons that kill the enemy, they are all a mess, and they are miserable to see. ”

Li Rusong couldn't help but nodded.

Let's just say that the Liaodong cotton armor case, the Liaodong Army is currently the most capable of fighting the army in the Ming Dynasty, and it is all treated like this, it is really Zheng Chengxian's appearance is too ugly, if he has a little conscience and keeps the soldiers from freezing, then he will never make trouble in the court.

Not to mention other armies.

Guo Dan used to go to the Ministry of War to see it, and he could see the problem at a glance just from the production records.

In any country, when the military starts to become corrupt, it is enough to prove that the country has begun to decline.

"And this will never happen in Weihui Mansion."

Guo Dan said confidently: "If the general gets a pair of inferior armor from Wei Hui Mansion, he will definitely be able to see it at a glance, because it will be written that it is inferior armor, and the reason must be that he spent less money." In addition to weapons and armor, there are also horses, the general has been coming to Weihui Mansion for some time, does the general think that this Weihui Mansion will be short of horses? ”

There is really no shortage of this Weihui Mansion, and it is even about to exceed the scope of Weihui Mansion.

The Mongols now only had to trade with Weihuifu, so a large number of horses and livestock were sold to Weihuifu.

Guo Dandu also plans to build some more pastures in Kaifeng, Zhangde, and Huaiqing.

After these words, Li Rusong's eyes began to flash with excitement, and he was already looking forward to what kind of army he could build in Weihui Mansion.

The production capacity of Weihui Mansion ......

It's inspiring just to think about.

Guo Dan sighed and continued: "Having said that, the reason why the general has traveled to many places over the years is because the general is not subject to civilian discipline, but what is the difference between the general and those civilian officials who are doing things now?" The general thinks that civilian officials should not be above military generals, so generals think that military generals should be above the heads of the people, is that true? There is a saying, do not do to others what you would not do to yourself. ”

Yang Feixu on the side felt that this scene was familiar, and she didn't look forward to the newly built guard house in Marseille at the beginning, so that she finally returned to Guo Dan's side.

Guo Dan went back and forth with such a move, knowing that it was profitable.

Taking what the other person needs most and exchanging it with the other party is making a deal.

Li Rusong glanced at Guo Dan and said: "I have heard of you a long time ago, but I have always thought that you are just good at slapping horses, so you got the grace of Your Majesty to have today, and now it seems that I was wrong." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "I thought that the general had already realized this, after all, the general also won the favor of His Majesty, but ......." ”

When Yang Feixu heard this, he immediately closed his lips, for fear of laughing.

"You're .....!"

Li Rusong's eyes flashed with fire again.

Guo Dan stood up, tidied up his collar and sleeves, and said: "General, I might as well tell you directly, everything in this Weihui Mansion belongs to His Majesty, I am just responsible for helping His Majesty take care of money, my responsibility is not to spend a penny indiscriminately, and I don't need to prove anything for this." But if the general wants to get the support of the Weihui Mansion, there are still many things that the general needs to prove, maybe there is no shortage of things in this world that are not earned for nothing, but it will definitely not work with me, I hope that the general can carefully consider whether he should stay here. If nothing else, I'll take my leave. ”

He bowed and walked out with Yang Feixu.

As during the day, Li Rusong was unaware of Guo Dan's departure and fell into contemplation.

.....

Soon after Guo Dan left, Li Rusong told the picket that he was willing to accept the court's sentence.

This news immediately plunged the three courts into a carnival, and many litigators shed tears.

In the Weihui Mansion, the law finally triumphed over the powerful.

They are all a group of fart people, many of them are just showmen, or even showtalents, but they convicted the famous Li Rusong.

This is unimaginable anywhere.

This is definitely a historic victory.

Following.

"Ahh

A gorgeously dressed boy came out of the hot spring pavilion yawning, followed by three or five idlers.

It happened that an old man with a burden came over, "Everyone, please let me go." ”

"You little old man, you really don't have long eyes, you dare to ask my son-in-law to give way to you, get out of the way."

"Oops!"

I saw a burly idler push the old man to the ground.

The boy squinted, snorted, and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard someone in front of him say, "Brother Liu, where are you in a hurry?" ”

"Don't you know, then Li Rusong has already confessed to the law, and I'm about to go over and take a look."

"Are you talking about the son of Ning Yuanbo?"

"Yes!"

"How is this possible? Li Rusong also injured the owner of a gambling house, which is a big deal. ”

"The notices have been posted, and there can be fakes, I heard that not only will you lose money, but Li Rusong himself will have to go outside the city to clean up the garbage."

The boy suddenly stopped his steps, turned his head suddenly, looked at the old man lying on the ground, hurriedly stepped forward, helped the old man up, and said, "Uncle, I'm really sorry, you didn't fall, right?" There's a little bit of silver here, and you must take it. ”

As he spoke, he stood up again, slapped the idle man who had just made his move, and scolded angrily: "How does this son usually teach you, you must know how to respect the old and love the young, help others for pleasure, and never bully the weak......!" ”

The old man was holding the silver, and he was in a state of confusion the whole time.
