Judging from Shen Shixing's attitude, it is obvious that he wants to accept this defeat calmly.

It's just willing to gamble and lose.

Therefore, he didn't have much thought about the price to pay.

In fact, he had thought of it a long time ago.

On the other hand, if they win, the other side will also have to pay a heavy price, and they will definitely have to remove a large number of officials.

Before, they also sent a lot of officials home.

But this man often walks by the river, and there is no one who does not get his shoes wet.

And all this is just beginning, wet shoes are a trivial matter, and many people will directly push him into the river.

East Plant.

"Duke, do you think Your Majesty will really approve Wang Xijue's resignation?" Xing Shangzhi asked.

Zhang Whale smiled and said: "Even if Your Majesty does not approve it, Wang Xijue will no longer be willing to stay in the court, and this matter is probably a foregone conclusion." ”

Xing Shangzhi heard this, but said with a sad face: "If Wang Xijue really leaves, it will be equivalent to breaking one of Shen Shixing's legs, and the elderly and lame Shen Shixing is afraid that it will be difficult to make a difference in the future!" ”

There was a hint of concern in his tone.

Zhang Whale sneered: "Doesn't he still have a leg?" ”

"Li Chengliang?"

Xing Shangzhi was surprised.

Zhang Whale nodded.

Xing Shangzhi seemed to be a little incredulous, and hurriedly said: "But Dugong, haven't you always adopted a balancing strategy. But in the current situation, the cabinet is already in danger, if the cabinet is eliminated, I am afraid that the group of officials will concentrate their forces against us, and at this time we should help the cabinet. ”

This Zhang Whale is not a great eunuch with superior wisdom like Feng Bao, although Feng Bao is a eunuch, he has extremely high political wisdom, and he also has the talent to govern the country.

Zhang Whale is not as lucky as Liu Jin, when he meets the nonsensical Zhengde Ancestor, he meets the very, very stingy Wanli, no matter how strong the outer court is, Wanli will never give too much power in his hands to the eunuchs.

In history, Wanli has been in the palace for so many years, but there has never been a big eunuch who leans towards the government and the opposition, and similarly, there has not been a minister who leans towards the government and the opposition.

He remained firmly in control of power, and the consequence was that the entire court was in a state of semi-paralysis.

These two points have caused Zhang Whale to never be able to control the outer court, but he can get mixed up to this point, he is by no means a general, he has always adopted a balancing strategy, that is, he does not allow the outer court to dominate.

In the past, when Shen Shixing was very strong in the outer court, he chose to help the Yanguan group, but he would not blatantly help Yanguan, he only helped each other secretly, you must know that there are many Yanguan who also scold him every day.

This caused Shen Shixing to be very jealous of him, and Shen Shixing was unwilling to push Zhang Jing down to the Yanguan Group.

But now that the situation has been reversed, the cabinet has become precarious, and the entire cabinet team seems to be about to collapse, the impact of this on the cabinet is too great, Shen Shixing may be difficult to convince the public, when the cabinet chief assistant can not control the six departments, then he is occupying the pit and not, and it is a matter of time before he leaves.

Nowadays, there are many ministers who no longer support Shen Shixing.

It stands to reason that Zhang Jing should immediately concentrate on helping the cabinet tide over the difficulties and avoid the Yanguan group becoming dominant.

But Zhang Whale mentioned Li Chengliang at this time, and Li Chengliang is Shen Shixing's biggest fulcrum outside, if Li Chengliang also falls, Shen Shixing will almost be abolished.

"You're right, but there is also a Guo Dan involved."

Zhang Whale frowned, and said: "This kid once made me helpless, and also made His Majesty closer to the Prime Minister, now this matter has reached such a point, if the cabinet is relieved, they will definitely fight back, if they succeed, then Guo Dan will also come back, this opportunity is a golden opportunity, I would rather spend more effort to help the next cabinet, and never allow Guo Dan to have another chance to turn around." ”

He judged that after this incident, this cabinet has been completely bound to Guo Dan, it is both glory and loss, and Guo Dan has a close relationship with Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng has a very big threat to him, no matter how arrogant the official is, it is impossible to replace him, but Zhang Cheng can.

Weighing the pros and cons, he felt that Guo Dan and Zhang Cheng were a greater threat to him, and it was a big deal that when the official was strong, he endured it for a while and waited until the next cabinet came to power.

Zhang Whale said: "Send the evidence we have collected to Li Zhi and them." ”

"The subordinate obeys."

Xing Shangzhi hugged his fists and saluted.

He had a hunch that the entire court would face a reshuffle.

But again, their efficiency is a little too slow, and the business world led by Guo Dan has begun to reshuffle.

In fact, in recent years, the commercial development of the Ming Dynasty is more or less inseparable from Guo Dan's shadow, precisely because Guo Dan's large workshop, Guo Dan's assembly line, completely changed the production model, but also promoted the prosperity of commerce.

And not almost, or all businessmen admit that Guo Dan is the richest businessman in the Ming Dynasty.

No one can stand side by side with it.

It's a big family.

And now this boss is fully contracted, and it is very thorough, except for Xinxing and Yaxing, almost everything that can be sold has been sold, and even the fleet and warehouses have been bought, you must know that these are the two major weapons that Guo Dan relies on to survive, otherwise, he will not be able to control the entire trade.

Then the business world is naturally surging.

Three watches.

"Husband, even if you don't want to rest, others have to rest!"

Kou Liansha came to Guo Dan's office and reminded carefully.

"Huh?" Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Zhu Yaoyuan, who was full of fatigue, and said with a smile: "Fangchen, you go back to rest first." ”

Li Fangchen hurriedly said: "I... I'm not tired. ”

I have to say that being Guo Dan's secretary is really painful and happy, because Guo Dan often goes out, and when Guo Dan is not there, there is nothing to do, but Guo Dan has to be busy, and he often works all night, and they can only accompany him.

Guo smiled lightly: "It's not a question of whether you're tired or not, you have to learn to be obedient in the future, obviously the president wants to talk to me about something you don't want to hear." ”

This pot was thrown so naturally, Kou Zhuansha was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Guo Dan in confusion, do I mean that?

Li Fangchen took it seriously, her delicate face suddenly turned red, she stood up hurriedly, and nodded hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll go out first." ”

After Li Fangchen went out, Kou Zhuansha came to her senses and immediately asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Guo Dan said: "She has always wanted to prove that she is not worse than others, including physically, there are still many people doing things outside, but you let her go back to rest, which will frustrate her confidence, she has not much confidence, my statement can make her more acceptable." ”

“......！”

Kou Zhuansha knew that this pot was set by herself, because Guo Dan said it was too reasonable, she sat down, handed a copy of the data to Guo Dan, and said: "This is just counted by the Ministry of Finance, if next month, we can sell all those that should be sold, then our existing reserves will be able to last until next year." ”

Guo Dan asked again: "Then did you tell those employees that we will pay them in the future with materials instead of silver taels?" ”

Kou Zhuansha nodded and said, "I said it, and they all agreed, but I heard Chenchen say that some of the employees who were sold by us have a lot of complaints about us!" Because the new proprietor is not as generous as we are. ”

Guo Dan shrugged and said: "There is no way to do this, everyone can live in this way, if I don't measure myself and leave them behind, then everyone will die together, it is better to die than to live." ”

Kou Zhuansha said again: "In addition, there is also the matter of selling, although the specific amount has not yet come out, but according to the current transaction situation, it will not be sold for much money at all, and all of them together may be sold to ...... at most!" ”

"One hundred thousand taels." Guo Dan said first.

Kou Liansha was stunned for a moment and said, "You know? ”

Guo Dan nodded and said: "I have calculated before, they are all some houses and warehouses, how much can this sell for, and our printing technology and statistical technology are not sold, 100,000 taels is already very good." ”

"But it cost us a lot of money to build all this. ”

Guo smiled lightly: "But those warehouses and workshops are always there, and we can get them back at any time, and at a lower price." ”

Guo Dandu is already selling his property, and the imperial court has not yet announced the news of recovering the four mansions, because they also know that this matter is black, and they have to make a lot of preparations to turn this black into white.

After many days, the imperial court finally issued an announcement to take back the four prefectures.

Although this was drafted by Yang Mingshen, it did not criticize Guo Dan, but only explained that Guo Dan contracted the four mansions, although the performance was very good, but it also made the imperial court unable to manage it in a unified manner, especially when encountering difficulties, which would add a lot of difficulties to the imperial court, so as to explain the unfavorable problem of the disaster relief in the Guide Mansion, and blame part of the responsibility on the inability of the Henan Daobu political envoy to make unified arrangements, so it was decided to take back the four mansions.

In the end, they have ghosts in their hearts, and they are also worried that if it is all pushed on Guo Dan's head, the people of Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion will definitely scold their mother.

But even so, it still caused an uproar in the capital.

Regarding the disaster relief situation in Henan Province, it has been transmitted to the capital, and everyone is still talking about Guo Dan's incomparably magical disaster relief operation, but he didn't expect it to be such a result.

Of course, there is no shortage of schadenfreude.

And it's not just the powerful, but also many ordinary people who are gloating.

After all, hatred of the rich is also human nature.

Many ordinary people think that everyone is a common man, why is he Guo Dan so rich, this is not fair.

And when the news reached Weihui, Kaifeng, Zhangde, and Huaiqing.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

There is also this kind of operation.

The people of the four prefectures were very fortunate that they were in Weihui Mansion or Kaifeng Mansion, and they were even proud, especially when they saw the tragic situation of the Guide Mansion on the side.

And Guo Dan's prestige has also risen to a higher level.

Sage!

God!

Everyone thinks that it is not too much to praise Guo Dan this time.

But they never imagined that they would be greeted by a return to the embrace of the government.

This... What's the difference between that and going back to hell?

Fake!

This must be fake!

The people of the four provinces could not believe this fact.

Nor is it acceptable.
