Chapter 390: First Taste of Defeat

This.......

Song Jingsheng opened his mouth slightly at first, and then slowly closed it again.

As a household servant, he still has this computing ability.

Not to mention the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid that under the whole world, only Guo Dan can do it.

It's not that Guo Dan is the smartest person.

It's just because whether it is the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, or today's wise men, they will definitely choose to take the route of small-scale peasant economy, but there is only so much land, unless they can grow silver, otherwise there will be no such benefit as Guo Dan, because Guo Dan is taking the commercial route, and he can create additional value.

Even if you want to follow the rules, it is very difficult, because Weihui Mansion does not have an official government, it is a contract system, who dares to play like this, contract it by yourself and hand it over to others.

Wang Xijue and others also looked embarrassed.

The hall was surprisingly quiet for a while.

Wanli said eagerly: "What? Could it be that this Manchu Dynasty is inferior to a businessman in civil and military affairs? ”

Wang Xijue and Song Jingsheng are so depressed.

You are deliberately embarrassment to us, take it back, why do you want to make up the latter sentence, what is the half-year period, but it is really a profiteer.

They all knew in their hearts that Wanli was deliberate.

Wang Jiaping suddenly stood up and said: "Guo Dan, even if you are in business, you can't earn this money alone, the amount you set on the contract is based on the previous tax revenue of Weihui Mansion, and now that Weihui Mansion's income has increased, the tax revenue should also increase." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "I don't know how long ago did the adults refer to?" I only know that when I took over, the situation in Weihui Mansion was far worse than before, and if it weren't for me, the treasury would still have to allocate grain for relief, so that the treasury would have received much more than my income. ”

Wang Jiaping frowned slightly, and retreated, this is in business, and he really can't talk about him.

"Why Weihui Mansion has such a tax revenue today, you should know very well in your heart."

Hearing a sneer, Jiang Yinglan, who was in charge of the household, suddenly stood up.

If you are defeated, how can you be brave? Guo Dan glanced at Jiang Yinglan, his attitude was very relaxed, and said with a smile: "Of course I know, I don't steal or rob, I get it by relying on my own wisdom, and I won't be surprised when I knock on the door in the middle of the night." ”

"It's ridiculous!"

Jiang Yinglan snorted angrily: "The success of Weihui Mansion is based on the crisis of Kaifeng, Zhangde, and Huaiqing, and the tax system you set in Weihui Mansion is very clear to me, if there are not so many people, where do you get so many taxes, where do these people come from, don't you know in your heart?" ”

Song Jingsheng suddenly realized, yes! Today's purpose is not to talk to Guo Dan about tax revenue, but to talk about the three provinces of Henan.

"It's even more infuriating to say!"

Guo Dan said matter-of-factly: "Do you know what the biggest expenditure of this Weihui Mansion has been in the past six months? It was the expenditure of the army and the pickets, and the reason for this was that the people of the three provinces always fled to Weihui Mansion.

I tried my best to intercept them, but I still couldn't stop them, so I wondered why this person ran to Weihui Mansion. I remember once I caught a few of them, and I went to ask, and they knelt down, cried, and hugged my thighs, saying that if they were sent back, they would commit suicide, and they would rather go to prison in Weihui Mansion than go back to their hometown. ”

Shen Shixing, who had been silent, listened to his nonsense there, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

This kid is really good.

Wanli was curious: "Why is this?" ”

Guo Dan sighed: "Why else, it's because I can't survive in my hometown that I came to our Weihui Mansion." ”

"There are such things."

Wanli said in amazement.

Song Jingsheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense, before he went, the people of Kaifeng Mansion were living well, but there was a problem when he went." ”

"I do blame it for that."

Guo Danzhi nodded and said, "I shouldn't let the people of Weihui Mansion live too well, causing everyone to want to come." ”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "I finally understand now why I have been reduced to giving up the dignity of a man and being willing to be a door-to-door son-in-law, but there are a few men in the world who are so handsome and can be this door-to-door son-in-law." ”

Where can the ministers not hear his sarcasm, it is nothing more than a sarcasm of the incompetence of officials, he couldn't live before, so he could only eat soft rice, but no one believed that you Guo Dan is like a monkey, you can't live, are you the body of the daughter of the greedy Kou family?

All of them were full of anger.

It's a wide range of hits.

Only Jiang Yinglan was unimpressed, and asked with a smile: "What did you do after that?" ”

"What's hereafter?" Guo Dan was stunned.

Jiang Yinglan said: "How do you deal with those who hold your thighs and cry?" ”

"I...!"

Guo Dan's eyes flickered a few times, and said: "I was just passing by, and I asked a few words by the way, that is not in my charge, the specific officers and soldiers are responsible, you have to ask Tong Qianhu to go." ”

He doesn't care about anything, he just doesn't want to be responsible.

Jiang Yinglan asked again: "Arresting and repatriating can be said to be the power of officers and soldiers, but is it your right to collect taxes?" ”

Guo Dan said cautiously: "Yes." ”

Jiang Yinglan asked: "Then do you know that there are many outsiders in Weihui Mansion who have entered the country illegally, and part of the tax you collect is paid by them." ”

According to the system, not only the Ming Dynasty, but also any dynasty in ancient times, if the people want to go out of the county, they have to go through the formalities, not just say what they can do, not to say what the reality is, according to the law, if they go out without going through the formalities, they are illegal immigrants.

Guo Dan said: "I know that there are some people who enter the country illegally, and I have also talked to Tong Qianhu about this matter, but they can't stop it, as for whether there is this tax, I don't know, I just set the rules of taxation, and they pay taxes themselves." ”

Jiang Yinglan asked again: "Then do you think there is any of them?" Or did they send someone to check and they didn't find out? ”

The second half of the sentence is obviously a threat, if you want to say no, I'll go and investigate.

Guo Dan said: "I think there should be." ”

Jiang Yinglan said: "This country has national laws, and the family has family rules, and you let the local people live well, is that the reason why you can violate the system?" If this is the case, then everyone who violates the system can be said to be for their own families, and there is no need to convict them.

Take Weihui Mansion as an example, with the grain that Weihui Mansion currently grows every year, it is difficult to meet the current population of Weihui Mansion, you can only go to other states and counties to buy, but have you ever thought that once you buy the grain, this will inevitably lead to a decrease in food in other states and counties, then the local people may starve to death because they can't buy food, for you, you only need to take care of the people of Weihui Mansion, you are not wrong, but the court has to take care of the people of the world.

If you think that if you have money, you can do whatever you want, then you are wrong, you are just a small businessman, how can you allow you to destroy the state system, fortunately you are really a businessman, if you were an official, you would have been punished a long time ago. ”

Wipe! This guy came prepared today, and his combat effectiveness is so fierce.

After this reprimand, Guo Dan began to sweat a little.

Jiang Yinglan said very reasonably, Guo Dan only let a small number of people get a livelihood, but the imperial court must take into account the world, and cannot destroy the national system for the interests of a small number of people, which harms the interests of the people of the world.

If you have the ability, you can do it, and if you can do it so well without communicating with the outside world, then you really have the ability.

Guo Dan didn't dare to say that his own set was good, and the others were not good, so he could only say: "You also said, I am just a small businessman, and I contracted Weihui Mansion just to solve the financial crisis of Weihui Mansion, which is my commitment to the imperial court." As for those people who entered the country illegally, it was not I asked them to come, they themselves wanted to come, and the officers and soldiers couldn't stop them, if I sent someone to arrest them privately, it would be illegal, and this was not within the scope of my contract, if I was guilty, then the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture would be even more guilty, he couldn't control it himself, and he could not complain about others. ”

Jiang Yinglan smiled: "If you want to cure your sins, can you still stand here?" This is said to be a thousand ways and ten thousand, the crisis of the three provinces of Henan is all caused by Weihui Mansion, and they did not go to Weihui Mansion to complain, but to sue the imperial court, in the imperial court, even if Weihui Mansion is contracted to you, but Weihui Mansion is still a state capital of the imperial court, under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

Under this whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. Whether you are contracted, or there is a prefect to manage there, in the eyes of the imperial court, this is the same, the imperial court must also take into account the overall situation, so many ministers suggested that you should contract the three provinces of Henan and be responsible for resolving the crisis of the three prefectures. ”

Wanli frowned and said: "Jiang gives things, you are bullying the small with the big, you yourself said, this country has national laws, the family has family rules, everything can be reasonable, Guo Dan didn't let those people come to Weihui Mansion." ”

Don't think I'm a dead man, I'm sitting here, but I won't let you bully Guo Dan.

Song Jingsheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, Weichen Taoist thinks that Jiang Zhishi is very reasonable, when the imperial court contracted Weihui Mansion to Guo Dan, it just asked him to restore the finances of Weihui Mansion, but he did not say that he was allowed to affect the management of other state capitals in order to restore the finances of Weihui Mansion, since Weihui Mansion has affected other state capitals, he should be responsible for this." ”

Wanli was also anxious, and said: "Didn't I say it before, those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, why don't they reflect on themselves, they only know how to blame Guo Dan." ”

Shen Shixing glanced at Wanli depressedly.

.

This was true when they were arguing with the officials.

Wanli's words obviously have the meaning of sowing discord.

Jiang Yinglan immediately said: "Your Majesty, although those prefects have mismanagement, that is another matter. If according to His Majesty's wishes, is it not possible for each state capital to make its own rules for its own actions, regardless of the state system? ”

Of course, this is not possible, otherwise, there will be no centralization, and it will not return to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Wanli didn't even dare to open his mouth, this was a big pit.

Having said that, if Guo Dan didn't do things for him and was not controlled by him, he wouldn't let Guo Dan contract.

Wang Jiaping echoed: "Your Majesty, Jiang is reasonable, when he contracted Weihui Mansion to Guo Dan, it was because of the special situation of Luwang Mansion that he was given some freedom, and this was not set as a long-term plan at that time!" ”

Guo Dan immediately said: "Since the court is not satisfied with me, then you can cancel the contract, why make both parties uncomfortable, but the contract does not state all this, these problems are raised now, and I didn't consider it at the time, is it a little unfair to let me be responsible for this." ”

The more he talked, the more dangerous it became, and he could only retreat.

Jiang Yinglan said: "If the court wants to break the contract, it should be executed according to the contract, and you naturally don't need to pay taxes to the court, which should be compensated to you." But as you said, the contract does not say that you can bring harm to the surrounding state capitals, I am talking about the crisis of the three provinces of Henan, talking about the state system, whether you are the people of the Ming Dynasty, whether you have to comply with the state system, since you caused the crisis of the three prefectures, then you must be responsible for this. ”

Has this guy opened up the second vein of Ren Du? Guo Dan glanced at Jiang Yinglan depressedly, only to feel that this guy's combat effectiveness was bursting today, and every sentence hit the nail on the head, Weihui Mansion did take advantage of the system, why did businessmen run Weihui Mansion, it was because the system was different, whether it was good or bad, Weihui Mansion did have an impact on the surrounding area.

But this was not written in the contract, but it was written in the state system, Guo Dan, as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, was not granted privileges, so he naturally had to obey the state system.

Guo Dan said depressedly: "You are crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, my only responsibility at that time was to restore the finances of Weihui Mansion, I didn't think about other state capitals, and I didn't expect the surrounding people to come to Weihui Mansion." ”

Jiang Yinglan said: "Isn't the court not blaming you now, if the court wants to really investigate it, I'm afraid that the money you earned is not enough to compensate, do you know how much damage you have brought to the entire Henan Province?"

Therefore, the imperial court gave you a compromise solution, and asked you to contract the three prefectures and be responsible for solving the crisis in these three places. The imperial court has always had clear rewards and punishments, you do well in Weihui Mansion, and you also get what you deserve, regarding tax revenue, the contract is set as much as it is, but you also have to be responsible for recovering the negative impact caused by you. ”

GodTM rewards and punishments are clear. Guo Dan only felt angry and said with a smile: "Don't Jiang Zhishi feel that this is self-contradictory?" Contracting Weihui Mansion, you said that you hurt Kaifeng Mansion, Zhangde Mansion, and Huaiqing Mansion, but now you let me continue to contract. ”

Jiang Yinglan smiled: "You also said that we didn't take these into account last time, so there was such a big problem, and we will think about it very carefully this time." ”

Damn, it turns out he's waiting for me here. Guo Dan scolded his mother.

At that time, the harsh conditions will have full support.

"Oops!"

Wanli suddenly groaned.

Everyone looked over and saw Wanli holding his forehead with one hand.

"Your Majesty."

Li Gui hurriedly stepped forward, his face pale with fright.

Zhang Cheng shouted: "Hurry up the imperial doctor, quickly announce the imperial doctor." ”

He also said to Shen Shixing and other ministers: "Your Majesty is unwell, and today's meeting will end here. ”
