Don't talk about making money, even if you don't make money, if you can protect your capital, Guo Dan will also take this transaction.

The reason is very simple, when you want to earn eight million taels, then you are a devil.

Now the entire bureaucracy regards Guo Dan as a devil.

But when you're going to spend eight million taels, then you're God.

That's when people love each other, and flowers bloom.

Not to mention the winter of the Xiaoice Age, it is the winter of the Great Ice Age, but it can't stop people from rushing to Yinuoyaxing.

Merchants, magnates, landlords, scholars.

Ubiquitous.

It's a mix of dragons and snakes!

For several days, Guo Dan didn't spend a penny.

Because he knows that once the money is spent, then he is not God.

Now it's the other party who is in a hurry, not him.

A no-tooth line!

"This beautiful day starts with spending money!"

Guo Dan came to the office and said with a smile.

"But so far, you haven't spent a penny." Aunt Xu said with a smile.

"The big taboo of spending money is that you can't be in a hurry, because people who make money are racking their brains, and that's very scary." Guo Dan sat beside Kou Zhuansha with one butt, held Kou Zhuan Sha in one hand, and said, "What is Madame looking at, so serious?" ”

"Let it go!"

Kou Zhuansha slapped Guo Dan's hand away, and said: "But husband, you are quite reasonable, you see, the same British government got vegetable oil, and the price given to us was twice as low as the price given to the imperial court." ”

Aunt Xu said: "But he can still make a lot of money." ”

Kou Zhuan Sha nodded.

"You can't count accounts like that."

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "No one in this world is a fool, the court officials spent a high price to buy vegetable oil from the British public, but they were promoted to make a fortune, it can be seen that the British public paid not only vegetable oil, but also the blessing and support of power. ”

Aunt Xu's eyes lit up and said, "Therefore, you plan to do the opposite." ”

"Clever."

Guo Dan said: "There are so many powerful people and businessmen in the world, and the quality of the goods is almost the same, it depends on who can bring us additional help and support." ”

Aunt Xu said again: "Merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang." ”

"Madame is really smart."

Guo Dan smiled and said: "This outsider often says that I Guo Dan has iron teeth and copper teeth, and the dead can say that they are alive, but they ignore the most critical point, that is, I am not painting cakes to satisfy hunger?" It's about giving them a big bread so they can listen to me. In order to be able to get the support of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we must give them a little sweetness? Waiting for the spring flowers to bloom tomorrow? I'm going south with eight million taels? I'd like to see who dares not welcome me. ”

Aunt Xu smiled: "No wonder you don't care about the situation in Jiangnan at all, it turns out that you have a plan." ”

"It's not a plan, it's a ......!" Guo smiled and groaned: "I will do this too?" Not like Madame? It's a trick. ”

Thinking back then, when Guo Dan contracted Weihui's Mansion for the first time, he pulled several truckloads of copper coins.

It was crazy!

Aunt Xu said: "I can only make one move." ”

"Dispatch your Xu family's son-in-law."

"Correct."

"But how did I hear that the main duty of a son-in-law is to have children?" Guo Dan smiled at Kou Liansha again: "Madam? Do you say yes? ”

"Don't get involved with me."

Kou Zhuansha's face turned red? He asked again: "But what should these powerful people in the capital do?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "We just have to negotiate the price and contract with them?" But who to choose? It is up to His Majesty to decide. ”

Of course, the emperor still has the emperor's considerations? For example, his father-in-law Zheng Chengxian? There are also relatives of the Empress Dowager Li's family, how can they not give it at all.

But it cannot be said that the security of the country is sacrificed to give.

It should still be given, but it should be reasonable.

Guo Dan negotiated a reasonable price, and then the emperor decided how to distribute it.

Guo Dan asked again: "Fangchen, what is the current stock price?" ”

Zhu Yaoyuan immediately said: "How many days have the stock transactions been zero? This share price is not clear. ”

"Do you know why?"

"Because they know that the general manager, you will definitely increase your shares? It is more cost-effective to wait until after the share increase before trading. ”

"Correct."

Guo Dan said: "Wait until the financial statistics of the major workshops come out? Do we need to make a share increase plan immediately? and the shareholding system of Yinuo Qian Zhuang and Yinuo Insurance. ”

Kou Zhuansha said: "But this southern problem has not been solved, this Nuoqian Zhuang and Yinuo Insurance are joint-stock at this time, I am afraid that there will be risks." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "But you can also look at it from another angle?" The more this is the case, the more we need the joint-stock system, and only by tying everyone's interests together, will we have more and more supporters, so isn't the south opposed? Then I still prefer to carry out the joint-stock system there, not only that, but I also want to let Yinuo Qian Zhuang expand over there. ”

The three women glanced at each other, only to feel that from a different perspective, they came to a completely different conclusion.

However, compared to the high morale of Yinuo Yaxing, the imperial court was lifeless and lifeless.

It was not that they were beaten down by Guo Dan, but they gradually discovered that there was nothing to do.

The Senate is in charge of the new policy.

The river is in charge of the banknote customs.

Now even the military pay has been lost.

What's even more miserable is that the fat house has almost abolished the palace etiquette system of worshipping ancestors and worshipping the sky.

So what's there to be busy with.

Partisanship between the DPRK and China is almost gone.

Everyone's bowl is empty, what else is there to fight for, the official doesn't like to impeach Shen Shixing now, and stares at Guo Dan.

Shen Shixing is really idle.

And the mud is really out of the realm.

Many officials are just messing around all day long, look, there are even many officials who write to make money.

According to Dongchang's investigation, eight out of ten copies circulating on the market today were written by officials.

Writing today can be very profitable.

Because the citizen class has risen, there are more and more people who can read and write, but the cultural level is not very high, and the articles or other things still can't be understood, which is the favorite of the citizens.

Wang Xijue and Chen Younian, who returned to the dynasty by the way, couldn't help but sigh when they saw such a scene.

But who is to blame for this?

On the third day after Wang Xijue and Chen Younian returned, Wanli suddenly held a cabinet meeting and invited some ministers to participate.

Wuying Palace.

Wanli looked at these ministers and ministers, and an elusive smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Hubu squire." ”

Li Sancai was stunned, stood up and said, "Weichen is here." ”

Wanli said: "I heard that when you discussed the contract with Guo Dan, you were humiliated by Guo Dan in every way. ”

Li Sancai's face suddenly turned red and bloody, and he was really embarrassed and wanted to cry.

Wanli asked again: "How can you allow a merchant to be humiliated like this?" ”

Why else, isn't it because of you? Li Sancai only felt very aggrieved.

Shen Shixing and Xu Guo were curious, wasn't today's meeting held because Wang Xijue and them came back? Or is it that the emperor is holding this meeting to humiliate us and others?

Wanli smiled and said, "Do you blame me for favoring Guo Dan in your heart?" ”

Li Sancai said: "The minister doesn't dare." ”

"It's just that I don't dare, not that I don't blame."

Wanli smiled, swept his eyes again, and said: "I know that you all blame me in your hearts, you all feel wronged, and you all feel unconvinced, because you think that it is not that you are incompetent, but that you have been restrained too much, so that you have no ability, but you have no place to show it, but I don't want Guo Dan, with my protection, you can be unscrupulous." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Wang Jiaping and said, "Wang Aiqing, I didn't say anything wrong, right?" ”

Wang Jiaping was slightly stunned and said, "Your Majesty... Minister.... ”

Wanli asked again, "Did I say something wrong?" ”

Wang Jiaping bowed and said: "Your Majesty, whatever the ministers think, you can't escape Your Majesty's eyes. ”

Wanli laughed a few times, suddenly changed his expression, and said: "I will give you this opportunity now, I want to see how much ability you have, I have decided to resume the test method." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked.

Because the deep meaning behind the examination law is actually to strengthen the power of the cabinet, now the six ministries are directly responsible to the emperor by bypassing the cabinet, and once the examination law is restored, the six ministries will be responsible to the cabinet first, not directly to the emperor.

The first thing Wanli did in his pro-government was to abolish the examination law and take back power.

After that, no one dared to mention the reinstatement of the test method.

Because it seriously hurt the imperial power.

No one could have imagined that Wanli would take the initiative to reinstate the test method.

Wanli explained: "Guo Dan has proved again and again that officialdom is corrupt, the ministers of the court are mediocre and incompetent, they only know how to be greedy for pleasure, fight for power and profit, and they are not enough to succeed and more than to lose. As for how to restore the test method and how to improve it, it is also up to you to discuss it. I will give you a chance now, if you can't do it again, then don't blame me for favoring Guo Dan. ”

With that, he got up and strode out.

Leaving a group of ministers and ministers looking at each other.

After a long while, they suddenly knelt down to the door in unison, "Your Majesty is magnificent, and the ministers will bow to their best and die." ”

Wang Jiaping, Wang Xijue, and Chen Younian fell to the ground and shed tears.

It's finally time to show your ambitions.

But they also felt that it was a little unrealistic.

Happiness came so suddenly.

But Shen Shixing stared at the door in a daze, and said in his heart, it is really true that Zhang Ge Lao wrote the "Emperor's Illustrated Book" for you back then, teaching you the art of the emperor, and now you have really turned your hands into clouds and covered your hands into rain.

If the examination law was not abolished at the beginning, how could the emperor take back the imperial power, and now the examination law is restored, it is because Wanli has already controlled the military power and financial power through Guo Dan's talent, so of course he can rest assured that this administrative power can be handed over to the cabinet.

No matter how much trouble you make, you are only targeting the corrupt officials below, and it is impossible to threaten my imperial power again.

At the same time, Wanli also needs a force that can balance the merchants.

Of course, he is not very diligent emperor, but he is a very smart emperor, he hopes to be able to use the least amount of energy, to achieve his reputation as an emperor through the ages, and at the same time not let the power go by.

Instead of being like Taizu, in order to grasp the power, he tired himself half to death.
