It's too much!

It's really excessive!

It is completely understandable to contract pastures and cotton nails, and the financial statements of the Ministry of Contractors are already very shocking, and it has only been a few days before Guo Dan actually wants to contract the entire Weihui Mansion.

This......

You're not only shameless, you're brainless.

I don't even know where to start with the lesson.

Li Gui and Zhang Cheng were already completely speechless, and they didn't know what to say.

Rao is Wanli was also frightened by Guo Dan, pointed at Guo Dan, and said in a trembling voice: "You... What do you mean by that? ”

Guo Dan said: "Your Majesty, if they admit that they are incompetent, if they don't admit it, then the humble position will tell them with the facts, how incompetent they are, if Weihui Mansion is handed over to the lowly position, Weihui Mansion will be able to recover immediately, and immediately become the premier state capital of my Ming Dynasty." ”

Wanli was taken aback and said, "You still have this ability?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Your Majesty should know that lowly positions will make money." ”

"But it's not making money." Zhang Cheng suddenly woke up and said, "This is governance, and you can't be an official, can't you?" ”

Guo Dan shook his head again and again and said: "If you let the lowly post serve as the prefect, then the lowly post will not be able to do ......" ”

Zhang Cheng said angrily: "What you think is really beautiful, you are a little child, and you still want to be in the state capital." ”

can think that Guo Dan is so shameless, it really doesn't make sense to care about him about this.

"Minister, don't interrupt first." Wanli raised his hand and asked Guo Dan again: "I don't know how you plan to contract Weihui Mansion?" ”

"Everything except the army."

Guo Dan said: "Including taxes, household registration, and so on." In the case of the army, the lowly position will not be managed, but His Majesty must send a general who can cooperate with the lowly position to manage it. ”

"Let's not talk about that yet." Wanli asked: "How to contract this tax, and the taxes of the local people will be handed over to you?" ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "The meaning of contracting taxes is that the imperial court doesn't care, anyway, the taxes of Weihui Mansion are paid by the lowly officials." ”

Wanli took a breath of cold air, "The huge Weihui Mansion, do you know how much tax you have to pay every year?" ”

Guo said lightly: "Back to Your Majesty, how much is how much, just a few taxes, for humble duties, what is the concern." ”

Zhang Cheng suddenly asked: "You are responsible for the tax and household registration, so what do you need the government to do?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Of course the government doesn't want it." ”

Zhang Cheng looked at Guo Dan blankly as if he had been struck by lightning.

Guo Dan explained: "Your Majesty, the lowly position is so angry that they are incompetent and the officials who sue the wicked first, the lowly position is to prove a point, it is those officials who are incompetent, if there is still the government, even if the lowly position is good, it cannot prove this, the government must temporarily withdraw, and wait until the lowly position proves this, the lowly post will be withdrawn, and the government will come in to take over." ”

There is some truth to this.

Zhang Cheng, as an internal minister, was so frightened by Guo Dan that his heart couldn't stand it, which seemed to be beyond his understanding, and he couldn't help but look at Wanli.

Wanli was silent, and after half a loud sound, he shook his head and said: "Your idea is really too bold, the way to govern the country is not a matter of will, you can rest assured, I will not let Marseille have anything to do, I will let Jinyiwei intervene in this matter later, as for the household department, I will slow it down first, anyway, it will not be tight." ”

That's fine, as long as you don't delay the new racecourse, you can do whatever you want. Guo Dan nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Of course he won't force this kind of thing, and it's best if you can handle it.

Wanli said: "You go back first." Oh, you've got the point, but don't leak it out, be careful that your life is at risk. ”

"Your Majesty, it's not that serious, is it?" Guo Dan said in panic.

Wanli said angrily and said: "You have scolded the Manchu Dynasty civil and military all over again, isn't this serious?" ”

It seems to be a little stronger. Guo Dan blinked, looked at Zhang Cheng again, and said, "Inner minister, don't spread it, I... I'm not going to admit what I said. ”

Zhang Cheng was amused by Guo Dan, and said, "You kid is really... Hurry up, hurry up, it will scare our family to death. ”

"Retire from your duties."

Guo Dan saluted and withdrew.

"Your Majesty, this kid is really lawless, and he even wants to contract Weihui Mansion." Zhang Cheng smiled and shook his head.

Li Gui also said: "Who said no, but it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!" ”

Wanli suddenly laughed and said, "I'm not much older than him. ”

Li Gui and Zhang Cheng slowly turned their heads and looked at Wanli in horror.

He wouldn't be trying to .......

That's too scary.

.....．

Cining Palace.

Under the whole world, only in this Cining Palace, Wanli can't be high, and can only sit on the side.

Standing tall above was a woman in her early forties, dressed plainly, with a ruddy complexion and still charming.

This woman is none other than Empress Dowager Li.

In fact, he is also the person Wanli is most afraid of, if Zhang Juzheng did not get the support of the Empress Dowager Li at that time, where would he teach Wanli so much, let alone implement reforms.

This Empress Dowager Li is not the kind of old witch Cixi, but a real virtuous queen, after Wanli became an adult, she immediately returned to Wanli, and then retired to Cining Palace, no longer concerned with government affairs, although Wanli has also done a lot of out-of-the-ordinary things in recent years, it is certainly not what she is satisfied with, but she rarely asks.

It can be seen that she is very clear about her identity and abides by etiquette.

But this person is not perfect, the Empress Dowager Li loves her youngest son Zhu Yihua very much, and allows him to behave indiscriminately, if the rules of the Ming Dynasty are determined, after this adulthood, the prince has to go to the territory to become a vassal, and Zhu Yihua is already an adult, but he asked to stay for two more years, and the Empress Dowager Li also agreed.

Part of the reason why Wanli favors Zhu Yihua so much is because of this Empress Dowager Li.

"What are you talking about, Emperor? How can I not understand it? Empress Dowager Li looked at Wanli with a puzzled expression.

Without waiting for Wanli to speak, Zhu Yihua, who was standing on the side, preemptively said: "Queen Mother, the child understands the words of the emperor's brother, and the emperor's brother's meaning is to contract Weihui Mansion to Guo Dan and let Guo Dan take care of it." ”

Empress Dowager Li glared slightly, and reprimanded: "You caused this matter, you dare to talk too much and stand aside." ”

The tone was full of doting, obviously saying that Wanli had heard it, after all, this matter had brought a lot of distress to Wanli.

Zhu Yihua grinned and stood aside obediently.

With the support of Empress Dowager Li, he has no fear, and he is the least panicked, and it is not Guo Dan who is really lawless, but this Zhu Yihua.

Empress Dowager Li looked at Wanli again and said, "Is that so?" ”

Wanli was a little apprehensive, and after a little time, he nodded, "After returning to my mother, that's probably what it means." ”

Empress Dowager Li immediately smiled and said, "Emperor, you have been in power for some years, do you think this method is feasible?" ”

It's like, don't you even have the ability to judge this bit?

After Wanli snorted twice, he gritted his teeth and said: "Queen Mother, in addition, the sons can't think of any other way for the time being, although the sons have issued an order to severely punish the officials involved, but those ministers still refuse to give up, they have to take the fourth brother to ask for the guilt, and... And they already have the evidence in their hands, and the sons also... Also.... ”

Empress Dowager Li sighed: "I know that it is difficult for the emperor to do it now, but he can't rush to the doctor when he is sick. ”

Wanli shook his head and said: "Erchen is not sick and rushed to the doctor, Erchen really thinks that this method is feasible, if Guo Dan can do what he says, then Erchen can use this as a reason to accuse those counties of being incompetent, so as to reverse the situation." ”

Empress Dowager Li was a little surprised and said, "Do you think Guo Dan can do it?" ”

Zhu Yihua said again: "Queen Mother, the child also knows that Guo Dan, and has cooperation with him, this person is indeed very clever, especially in terms of making money, the child thinks that there are few people in the world who can compare to him, and the child believes that Guo Dan can do it." ”

"Go out and stand."

Empress Dowager Li was stunned.

"The child obeys."

Zhu Yi pursed his mouth, and when he passed in front of Wanli, he whispered: "Brother Emperor, brother supports you." ”

Wanli looked at him angrily and funny.

Empress Dowager Li also shook her head helplessly, and after the bastard left, she looked at Wanli and said: "Emperor, not to mention whether the tooth merchant can do what he says, this kind of thing sounds absurd, if he does this, it will destroy the imperial court system, and the emperor still has to think carefully." ”

Wanli pondered for a moment and said: "Queen Mother, Erchen thinks very carefully, Guo Dan is Erchen's person, Erchen trusts him very much, and he is only responsible for the financial and management of Weihui Mansion, the military and political affairs are still under the control of Erchen, and Erchen will send a special person to help him ...... when he arrives." ”

At this point, he glanced at the Empress Dowager Li slightly, only to see her mother nodding slightly, and then he was slightly relieved.

What a shrewd woman Empress Dowager Li is, she knows what Wanli means, this military power is in hand, and there is no need to be afraid that Guo Dan will have different intentions.

Wanli continued: "As for the destruction of the system that the queen mother is worried about, the son only asked him to prove that this matter is not the fault of the fourth brother, but the incompetence of those magistrates, and then he will naturally return the Weihui Mansion to the imperial court.

If Guo Dan can really do better than those counties, first of all, this is very helpful to the fourth brother, this matter has aroused public resentment in the local area, and when the fourth brother goes to the domain, I am afraid that he will encounter a lot of trouble. At the same time, Erchen also thought that this could also spur those officials and let them know that the court was not inseparable from them. ”

When Empress Dowager Li heard this, she smiled with relief: "Although I still have reservations about this matter, the emperor has indeed thought it through, and now that you are in power, you can do it yourself." ”

Wanli's face was overjoyed, and he said, "Erchen, thank you for the support of the queen mother." ”

He is already in power, in fact, he does not need to report to the Queen Mother, but such a thing is not a military matter, and it is related to Zhu Yihua, which is public or private, and he has to obtain the consent of the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Li nodded and said with a smile: "This tooth merchant named Guo Dan, I have actually heard Si'er mention it, if there is a chance, I would also like to meet this tooth merchant." ”

Wanli said: "Erchen knows. ”
