This person is selfish, and when things are favorable to him, he immediately says that he is glorious and righteous, and he can't wait to say that the Buddha has come and purified all sentient beings.

But when things don't work against you, conspiracy theories are bound to run wild.

That's what the ass decides the head.

At the end of the day, it's the truth.

I remember that at the beginning, it belonged to the Jiangnan region, and it was the most supportive of the new tariff law, because the Jiangnan region is rich in products and has everything, so according to the new tariff law, their export tariffs must be very low, but the import tariffs must be very high.

Therefore, at that time, the whole of Nanzhili was eager to defeat Weihui Mansion and return to the position of commercial center, and they prepared a large number of looms and built large workshops.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a subsidy program that had never been seen before.

This time they couldn't find the north.

From top to bottom, everyone is troubled.

The ruling class has no oil or water to make at all, because this part of the power has been taken back to the central government, and this power has been taken away, but the benefits have not been reaped at all.

Big landlords and wealthy businessmen are even hardest hit areas.

On the one hand, they invested in large workshops, and at the same time lent money to small merchants.

This time, it's good!

It's not going to land at both ends.

There is not much way for the big workshops to do so, they can only force the small merchants to repay the money and use the interest to make up for their losses.

Gradually, the entire Gangnam region, from top to bottom, was in opposition to the new tariff law.

In fact, there are some businessmen who have a close relationship with Weihui Mansion, but they don't dare to say anything, so they can only make a fortune in silence.

Various conspiracy theories are also emerging.

And Shilin seized the opportunity to shine in terms of public opinion, Yinuo Journal did not come to Nanjing, and it was still the world of scholars.

They mainly said that Wanli was supporting Guo Dan in the back, so Guo Dan was able to come up with so much money.

criticized the Wanli Emperor for colluding with merchants.

What a system this is!

There is also a theory that criticizes the cabinet headed by Shen Shixing and uses the name of Guo Dan to collect their taxes.

All this is a conspiracy of the Cabinet!

The most outrageous thing is that it is said that behind Guo Dan is actually the Mongols, and its purpose is to mess up the Ming Dynasty and give the Mongols a chance.

Wang Yiyu, the secretary of the military department, Tian Yi, the eunuch of the garrison, and General Zhao Fei, the commander of the army, were also under a lot of pressure.

All forces are putting pressure on them!

Plus they themselves are not satisfied,

So they immediately wrote the situation here into a chapter and reported it to the imperial court urgently, hoping that the imperial court would consider it as appropriate.

Although the capital is in the north, a large number of officials in the DPRK and China are all from the south of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, Jiangnan's influence on the imperial court is very large.

And now that the imperial court is in a state of confusion, what is the situation?

This has been "collapsing" for a long time, why hasn't it "collapsed"?

It's just that it doesn't collapse, Guo Dan is still playing well.

All officials are looking for a reason.

But I just can't find a reason, and that's the consequence of not paying attention to mathematics.

However, at this time, the concerto in the Jiangnan region flew to the capital like snowflakes.

All are against the new tariff law.

This was to break the unity within the imperial court, because their alliance was already very fragile.

And those officials who were linked to Cao Yun immediately stood up to support the Jiangnan government's proposal.

They can't bear it anymore.

In fact, they don't want to target Wei Hui Mansion so much, after all, they also have business dealings with Wei Hui Mansion, who would be stupid enough to deal with their big customers, and they still lost money to target Guo Dan, they were forced to have no choice.

What is the end of the crossbow?

It's bullshit.

After playing for a long time, Guo Dan became more and more chic, but he almost killed them.

The transport fleet of Weihui Mansion already controls seventy percent of the canal's private trade.

If this continues, Cao Yun will also join the Weihui Mansion transportation team.

Some people took the lead, and the rest of the people who were originally opposed to the new tariff law naturally also stood up.

East Pavilion.

"Everyone, please stop being angry, this matter is all because of Guo Dan's one million taels of subsidies, as long as we can find out where his money came from, then we can prescribe the right medicine."

Naturally, Song Jingsheng vigorously defended the new tariff law.

Because he brought it up, if he settles the account, then he will be to blame.

"But it is said that His Majesty is supporting Guo Dan in the back." An official said lukewarmly.

"Nonsense! It's just nonsense! ”

Wang Jiaping reprimanded angrily: "Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, how can you collude with a businessman? Besides, if His Majesty really took out one million taels to support Guo Dan, could the household department not know? This is pure nonsense. ”

Song Qi also nodded and said, "It's impossible." ”

Wanli is poor, and last year's New Year was also quite shabby, he just can't take it if he wants to!

Li Zhi said suddenly: "The two adults are right, but this person's words are terrifying, now everyone is speculating how Guo Dan can come up with more money to subsidize Weihui Mansion, so there are so many rumors, although we can't listen to rumors, but we must also appease the people, I don't recommend abolishing the new tariff law, which will damage the reputation of the imperial court, I suggest that the right to clear customs to the local state government, but the right to collect taxes is still in the imperial court." ”

Bang Bang Bang!

Suddenly, there was a round of applause.

Everyone looked at each other, only to see Zhang Cheng looking at them with a sneer, "Li Yushi said it really wonderful!" In this way, the state capitals around the country can refuse the customs clearance of Weihui Mansion's goods, and you just say that you want to target Guo Dan, why bother to cover it here. ”

Li Zhi said: "Prime minister, the lower officials are just talking about things, and now that there is a problem, they naturally have to make adjustments." ”

Zhang Cheng said: "What's the problem? Guo Dan doesn't steal or rob, he pays his own money to help the people of Weihui Mansion, if Nanjing is not satisfied, he can also pay for it, he can't afford to pay for it, so he comes to threaten the imperial court, and slanders His Majesty, I really don't know who gave them the courage, I can tell you, this matter is not over. ”

Zhang Whale said: "Don't forget, Your Majesty also accused you of secretly targeting Guo Dan last time, and now you are still intensifying and blatantly targeting Weihui Mansion?" ”

Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "The gods are also you, and the ghosts are also you, but it is Guo Dan who is wrong." Alas... If you read a lot of this book, it's good, no matter how you talk about it, it makes sense, and our family is convinced. ”

As soon as the two big eunuchs sang and harmonized, the ministers blushed.

The front is blown too fiercely.

How did this end?

Wang Xijue said: "Prime minister, Duke, I still say the same thing, our change is for the sake of the court, for the people, and will never target anyone, and I don't plan to make adjustments, because I don't think there is anything wrong with the new tariff law." ”

As he spoke, he glanced around at the officials seated, "You might as well think about it, is the problem really from the new tariff law?" Without a new tariff law, the situation will only get worse. ”

Without tariffs stuck, the price of goods in Weihui Mansion can be sold lower, and they can't stand it even more.

But, who doesn't know?

Everyone knows that, but they supported the new tariff law at the beginning, and its purpose was to bring down Guo Dan, for which they were willing to pay a certain price, but judging from the current situation, the new tariff law did not bring down Guo Dan at all, but caused them heavy losses.

Some want to go further, but others want to repeal the new tariff law.

Wang Xijue also understands in his heart, but he will definitely not give up easily, he is not targeting Guo Dan, he is trying to strengthen the power of the cabinet.

At this time, he needs Shen Shixing's support.

But at the meeting, Shen Shixing was silent and lethargic.

After the meeting, Wang Xijue and Shen Shixing slowly walked outside the imperial city.

"What are you going to do next?"

Shen Shixing took the initiative to ask.

Wang Xijue frowned and said: "The reason is still on Guo Dan, if you can secretly force Guo Dan to make concessions, you may be able to alleviate the opposition of the court." ”

Shen Shixing shook his head and said: "The words of the Duke of Fang Cai are actually reminding us not to target Guo Dan in particular, otherwise, Your Majesty will definitely take action, in that case, the situation will only be worse for you." ”

Wang Xijue said: "But the matter has come to this, we can't retreat, otherwise, the cabinet will not be able to tolerate us." ”

If the reform fails, someone must be responsible, and taking a step back, even if the cabinet is not held responsible, Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping will not have the face to continue to stay, because no one in the DPRK will believe them.

Shen Shixing nodded and said: "You are very right, so we must adhere to the belief in our hearts, our change is to improve tariffs and solve some shortcomings of the government, not to target anyone, if we even lose this, then we will be defeated." ”

Wang Xijue nodded.

They all knew that the fragile alliance was no longer sustainable, and then they would go back to the old ways, and the court would be torn apart again.

Because the key to the contention is no longer Guo Dan, but the rights of all parties.

In other words, the war will move from the outside to the inside.

East Plant.

"Alas... Guo Dan is really amazing! ”

Zhang Jing, who had just returned to Dongchang, sighed with emotion, and said to Liu Shouyou: "Judging from the current situation, the cabinet may have a new struggle with the courtiers, which means that Guo Dan is already at ease." ”

Liu Shouyou said: "Then what should we do, or stay out of the matter?" ”

"Now that the situation is still unclear, we should not intervene lightly."

Zhang Whale seemed very cautious, because he still hadn't figured out Guo Dan's subsidy plan, and asked, "What is the situation in Weihui Mansion and Nanjing now?" ”

Liu Shouyou said: "Now Weihui Mansion is really on a higher level, everything is thriving, and Nanjing is just the opposite, most people are not having a good time, although the Nanjing government is a bit exaggerated, but Nanjing's complaints about the new tariffs are indeed increasing day by day." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said: "At this time, Guo Dan is in Nanjing, I think he may be planning to disturb Nanjing first, and then use the power of Nanjing to urge the imperial court to cancel the new tariff law." ”

"Hmm. It's a possibility. Zhang Whale groaned.

Over there, Guo Danwu hid in Yangzigou, and the primary school had not yet been built, so he began to build a warehouse.

The people of Yangzigou are really happy to die.

Guo Dan is really the God of Wealth!

Construction requires manpower, and this alone will create a lot of jobs.

"Uncle!"

Guo Dan turned around and said with a smile: "The housekeeper is here." ”

Kou Yi nodded.

Guo Dan turned around and shouted: "Second uncle, you look at it first, I have something here." ”

"You go, you go, I can still handle this little thing." A middle-aged man hurriedly spoke.

"It's hard work!"

Guo Dan bowed, and then went to a pavilion on the side with Kou Yi.

"What's going on out there now?" Guo Dan asked casually, and then took a sip of tea.

Kou Yi said: "At present, everyone's discussion has gradually shifted from your uncle to the new tariff law, and many people have suggested abolishing the new tariff law. ”

"Expected." Guo Dan smiled: "In the face of interests, everyone is Guo Dan." ”

"They can't compare to you, uncle."

Kou Yi casually threw out a sycophant, and then took out another piece of information and handed it to Guo Dan, "Uncle, this is about some loans in Nanzhili, and I also got these news through those Jin merchants." ”

"It's just the right time!"

Guo Dan took it over and looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Most debts are due next month!" ”

Kou Yi said: "But there are many people who can't afford it. ”

Guo Dan shook his head and smiled: "I said that they will definitely be able to pay it back." ”

Kou Yi hurriedly said: "Even if they are willing to use the workshop to pay off the debt now, I'm afraid the other party will not accept it, now their goods can't compete with our Weihui Mansion at all, if those workshops can't produce goods, it's not as good as farmland." ”

"If I say I can do it, I must pay it back."

"Why is my uncle so determined?"

"Because I'll help them pay it back." Guo Dan laughed twice, "Are you ready for the money I asked you to prepare before?" ”

Kou Yi was stunned: "That money, it's... Is it to help them pay off their debts? ”

"Of course."

"But it was you who lent them money in the first place!"

Kou Yi was stunned.

He thought that Guo Dan had lent them money through Jin Shang to create this loan crisis, if you still helped them repay the money, then didn't you take off your pants and fart?

"That's right!"

Guo smiled lightly: "This loan is repaid, they are still grateful to me!" ”

As he spoke, he stood up and stretched out his arm, "This is not coming, it is coming, I can't even enter Nanjing City!" ”
