Chapter 330: Gathering Wealth Invisibly (Happy Chinese New Year's Eve)

Wanli said it lightly, but the ministers were shocked when they heard it.

All?

That's a little too radical.

Yu Youding immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this move must not be done, the weapons used by the Liaodong border army, many production technologies, are all state secrets, how can they be handed over to a businessman to produce." ”

Wanli was stunned, coughed lightly, and said with a little embarrassment: "Yu Qingjia, when I say armaments, naturally I don't include those weapons and armor, such as those armaments, Guo Dan can't produce them, I just said some clothes, cotton armor, cloth armor, leather boots and other armaments." ”

I also wonder how you are usually very smart, and you can't even understand the meaning of this.

Weapons such as firearms are produced by a special manufacturing bureau, so how can they be handed over to others to make them, and no one else can do them.

As everyone knows, these ministers now see Guo Dan and Wanli together, and their hearts jump to their throats. The two of you are together, it is really invisibly accumulating money, if you don't make it clear, the ghost knows what you are referring to, you even dare to contract Wei Huifu to Guo Dan, what else can't be done.

Yu Youding immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But more ministers Wuzi seemed to be very anxious, in fact, they were ready, knowing that Wanli might give more armaments to Guo Dan, but they didn't expect it to be all, and at present, the main enemies of the Ming Dynasty are concentrated in the north, and the Liaodong Border Army is the elite division of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the army with the largest consumption of armaments among the three armies, which involves too many interests.

That Zheng Chengxian made a cotton armor and fished tens of thousands of taels.

Guo Dan saw it in his eyes, and in his heart, don't worry, these are all things that will happen sooner or later.

Jiang Yinglan stood up and said: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, this gentleman has no jokes, Your Majesty should think twice before acting, and should not talk about it." ”

"I see."

Wanli said with a displeased face.

He is very disgusted with this kind of thing, ** big things, they also have to talk about it, the emperor doesn't want to lose face.

Huang Daxiao suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, that contract only states that if Guo Dan can complete it, the imperial court will give him more orders, but the specific amount is not specified. ”

"I know."

Wanli is confidence said: "But Guo Dan was able to complete the task in less than a year, and every pair of cotton armor is well-made, which is convincing, so why not give him more armaments for production." ”

Zhao Dingsheng, the household servant, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, in this transaction, Guo Dan actually did not make money, and lost a lot of money, but it is impossible for a businessman to always lose money to do business, and the minister thinks that this transaction is not enough to explain any problems, so the minister suggests that this matter should not be rushed, and the appropriate armaments can be handed over to Guo Dan for production first, and if Guo Danwu completes it well, then make plans." ”

Immediately, many ministers came forward to second.

This is very reasonable, anyone can do it at a loss, what if Guo Dan is just casting a long line to catch a big fish?

But it's okay if they don't mention it, when they mention it, Wanli's attitude is even more resolute, it's all his money, he has to earn it back!

Wanli endured the grievances in his heart, nodded with a smile, and said: "This deal is indeed not enough to explain the problem, but I think that the long-term arms production should be enough to explain some problems, but no one can be as perfect as Guo Dan." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "There is another thing, I didn't want to mention it again, but since it comes to this, if I don't mention it again, it will be too unfair to Guo Dan." I remember that when I decided to contract Weihui Mansion to Guo Dan, everyone was very opposed, but what was the result? ”

When it came to Weihui Mansion, every minister's face was a little unbearable, this was really a very embarrassing thing, and he silently begged Wanli not to mention it again, his face was already swollen.

The reason why Wanli has not praised Guo Dan's contribution in Weihui Mansion is indeed to maintain the face of the ministers, after all, they are still needed to govern the country, this time Wanli is also to the point, and said: "The court is not the first time to cooperate with Guo Dan, but every time it cooperates, the court has benefited a lot. ”

"The ministers don't dare."

The ministers immediately bowed their hands.

"The armament of the Liaodong border army is directly related to the security of the country, and there is no room for failure, no matter who the other party is, as long as he does a good job, I will hand it over to whomever I do, this matter has been decided, and there is no need to discuss it again."

Wanli's gaze swept away with majesty.

Many ministers lowered their heads, but Yu Guang looked at Shen Shixing and other ministers, but Shen Shixing and the others didn't say a word, they all hung their heads and said nothing.

Shen Shixing made up his mind, he no longer made a noise in matters involving Guo Dan, and in this matter, he was biased towards Guo Dan, because Li Chengliang was his important pillar outside, he didn't want the next Zheng Chengxian to appear, and Guo Dan cooperated, obviously the pressure is much less, you can focus on armaments, and don't worry about other issues, if it is Zheng Chengxian, it involves the harem and the country.

At this time, Jiang Yinglan suddenly stood up again.

Many ministers secretly rejoiced.

Wanli frowned.

Jiang Yinglan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not opposed to contracting to Guo Dan, but the minister thinks that this is a symptom but not a root cause, if you want to cure the root cause and improve the armament of our army, the court must improve the law." As for the inspection a few days ago, the minister has always participated in it, and the minister thinks that the test method is very helpful to improve the armament of our army, and the imperial court should fully popularize that test method. ”

Fang Cai was still secretly happy with the minister, and his face suddenly turned like ashes, you are going to kill people!

As for that set of test methods, except for Guo Dan, who can stand it.

But they didn't dare to say anything, the emperor had already pointed something else, and if he wanted to oppose it, wouldn't he be a thief.

Wanli swept his eyes, muttered a little, and said: "I have also considered this matter, but the situation of the garrisons in various places is different, if the imperial court rushes to promote it, I am afraid that it will backfire, and we need to think about it in the long run!" ”

"Your Majesty."

The ministers shouted.

It's really heartfelt.

But he didn't know that Wanli wasn't thinking about them at all, he had his own little Jiujiu, he actually didn't plan to grab armaments at all, this time, the obstacle was too big, he could only let it go little by little; Second, in order to ensure Guo Dan's advantage, then whoever wants to have another accident in the future can continue to let Guo Dan contract.

Wanli said loudly again: "Dongge University Scholar, the military department is still the book, and the household department is still the book." ”

"The minister is here."

Wang Jiaping, Fang Fengshi, and Song Qi immediately stood up.

Wanli said: "In the future, the cooperation between the imperial court and Guo Dan will be responsible for you." ”

"Your Ministers obey."

When the other ministers had heard this, they said no more.

Because these three people are quite prestigious in the court, both talent and virtue are admirable, Wanli asked them to negotiate with Guo Dan, putting aside their own interests, it is indeed convincing.

It is unlikely that the three of them will be in cahoots with Guo Dan.

Cooperating with Guo Dan, Wanli has always been very relaxed, because he doesn't need to engage in any crooked ways to collect money, he can make money while standing, and said with a smile: "That's it for today, retreat from the dynasty." ”

"Ministers send your majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."

After Wanli left, Fang came to Guo Dan's side at the right time, and said with a smile: "Boy, don't get carried away, the old man is not so easy to fool, he will only be stricter in the future, don't let the old man grab your handle." ”

Scare me? If you talk about officialdom or leading troops to fight, I'm afraid that ten Guo Dan is not your opponent of the old fox, but if you talk about trading, hehe, ten adults are not my opponents. Guo Dan was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "Master Shangshu can rest assured, I, Guo Dan, have been able to mix up to this day, not by virtue of the care of adults, but by virtue of my own integrity, no matter whether the other party is a court or a businessman, I will treat everyone equally." ”

The rest of the ministers looked sideways, this kid is really getting more and more crazy, and he dares to talk to Lord Shangshu like this.

Fang Fengshi snorted: "Let's see." ”

With that, he waved his robe and strode away.

This hasn't started yet, you have to compete with the military department Shangshu, this time there is a good show.

Quite a few people are gloating.

But Shen Shixing, Wang Jiaping and others all smiled and said nothing, and they withdrew from the hall silently.

"Major General."

Guo Dan suddenly spotted someone and hurriedly chased after him.

Li Rumei had no choice but to stop, turned around, and looked at Guo Dan with a strange expression.

Guo smiled lightly: "Young General, look, my cotton armor has been handed over to the imperial court, when will your horse arrive in Beijing!" ”

Li Rumei suddenly looked embarrassed and said, "That's the case, those horses have arrived in the eastern suburbs an hour ago. ”

"Really?"

Guo Dan said excitedly: "That's really good, if the young general has nothing else to do, let's go over and take a look now." ”

"Wait."

Li Rumei raised her hand excitedly.

Guo Dan was stunned and said, "What's the matter? Will the Major General be in trouble? ”

"That's... Not really. Li Rumei smiled awkwardly and said, "I'll tell you the truth, there are a lot of horses this time, although our people have checked them very carefully, but... But it was recently discovered that there were still fifteen inferior horses among them....... ”

The day before, he was really frightened by the test method, what kind of test is this, this is simply fatal, so he immediately ordered the person who escorted the horses, and then took a closer look, sure enough, there are still fifteen inferior horses mixed in it, this proportion is actually very small, in the past, the imperial court bought horses, most of them were inferior horses, and they were looking for good horses from the inferior horses, so this point can basically be ignored.

But Guo Dan's behavior really made Li Rumei feel a little worried, and his subordinates also wrote to him, saying that this was very normal, and it was difficult for the other party to find out, but he thought about it and felt that with Guo Dan's urine, I was afraid that none of them would be able to mix it up, and Guo Dan even dared to scare the secretary of the military department, not to mention that he would be embarrassed if he was found out, so he still took the initiative to admit it.

Guo smiled lightly: "It's okay, I can understand this, and I'm not in a hurry to make up for it, you can make it up to me when the time comes." ”

Li Rumei suddenly felt extremely relaxed and said, "Definitely, definitely." ”

Guo Dan said: "But according to the evidence, I still have to check carefully." ”

Li Rumei said embarrassedly: "Of course, of course." ”

Even in the face of Li Chengliang, Guo Dan also has a saying, just talk about things, how the contract is written, let's do it, he will definitely insist on this, the two sides must be equal, because this armament involves too much interest, if he can't insist, then everyone will come to scrape a sum of money, and this money will be taken to honor the master, then he must cut corners, and he can't do a loss-making deal.
