Wanli finally made a move.

This proves that their previous guess was not wrong, Wanli has always been on Guo Dan's side, and the purpose is very likely to be to ask for contractor tax.

Whether it is Wang Jiaping or Wang Xijue, they are all prepared in their hearts.

In the face of Wanli's extreme pressure, they are not very afraid, as long as they can control the situation so that Wanli can't grasp any handles, Wanli will not be able to risk the world's condemnation, and it is clear that they want to oppose the entire bureaucracy.

But at this critical time, they still need to be more cautious.

Therefore, after the cabinet meeting ended, Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue brought in representatives of various forces.

"That's a good thing!"

Li Zhi couldn't help but say happily when he learned about Wanli's extreme pressure.

Wang Xijue, Wang Jiaping, Song Jingsheng and others all looked at Li Zhi in surprise.

Li Zhi said excitedly: "If Guo Dan can deal with it, then how can Your Majesty make a move, it can be seen that Guo Dan has reached the end of the crossbow, and Your Majesty saw that the situation was not good, so he stood up to protect Guo Dan." ”

Yang Mingshen nodded and said, "Li Yushi is reasonable!" ”

Wang Jiaping frowned and said, "But why did Guo Dan suddenly go to Nanjing?" ”

Li Zhi smiled: "Your Majesty has already given us an answer to this point. ”

Wang Jiaping was surprised: "How do you say this? ”

Li Zhi said: "Your Majesty now asks for a thorough investigation of whether there are officials deliberately targeting Weihui Mansion, but there is nothing to find out about this matter in Weihui Mansion, because Weihui Mansion does not have a banknote customs, and the closest contact with Weihui Mansion is the Jiangnan region, which is also prone to problems." I think Guo Dan went to Jiangnan this time, not for anything else, but to find fault. ”

"It must be so."

Song Jingsheng nodded.

Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

Wang Jiaping said: "No matter what Guo Dan's purpose is, we must do our best, as long as we have a clear conscience, even if Your Majesty thoroughly investigates this matter, we don't need to feel any worries." ”

The reason why he has the confidence to say this is mainly because Wanli sent Fang to investigate the matter at the right time, coupled with Zhang Whale's statement over there, they have reason to believe that Wanli is not going to be a hooligan this time, he has obtained solid evidence.

All parties agree with this.

They have also become more united, because the facts have proved that Guo Dan is the end of the crossbow and is about to collapse, and at this critical time, nothing can go wrong.

The whole court and the central government are happy about this, in fact, they also want to end this matter as soon as possible, for the lazy Da Ming, they also feel a little depressed to suddenly implement the new law with such a big force, but in order to kill Guo Dan, it is all worth it.

......

Hung Yen Bo House.

"Let go of me, let go of me, I'm a little uncle, you guys dare to kidnap me?"

I saw that Xu Jirong was tied up and carried into the lobby.

Xu Mengxi, who was sitting in the house, glanced at him and put down the teacup, "You are the little uncle, I am the old uncle, do you think I can tie you up?" ”

"Grandpa!"

Xu Jirong was immediately stunned.

"Get on your knees."

Xu Mengxi suddenly burst out.

Xu Jirong pounced and knelt on the ground honestly.

Xu Mengxi said: "The old man asked you, where are you going?" ”

Xu Jirong's eyes rolled and said, "Go to the racecourse and have a look." ”

"Huh?"

"Go find a faint touch."

Xu Jirong lowered his head.

Xu Mengxi was furious and said: "How many times has the old man told you, don't go to Guo Dan, why don't you listen." ”

Xu Jirong argued: "Now it is difficult to be faint, only his grandson can save him." ”

Xu Mengxi was extremely puzzled: "Where did you get your confidence?" ”

Xu Jirong said: "It's my grandfather who said that as long as my grandson cooperates with Yidan, we can be invincible." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Mengxi was so angry that he jumped around, "How many times does the old man have to talk to you, the old man has not said this, it was all Guo Dan who lied to you." ”

Xu Jirong snorted: "My grandson didn't believe it, but my grandfather didn't deny it at the time. ”

“......！”

Xu Mengxi was speechless for a while, but it was really a mistake that turned into a thousand hatreds, and the thing he regrets the most now is that he met Guo Dan.

At that time, he just wanted to find a housekeeper for Xu Jirong, but he didn't know that Guo Dan was a hidden hungry wolf, and since then, he has been out of control.

At this time, Xu Mao suddenly spoke: "Little young master, even so, you don't need to go to Guo Dan, remember the last time the little young master helped Guo Dan get through the difficult time......!" ”

Xu Mengxi was surprised: "Which time?" How could the old man not know? ”

Xu Jirong still has this ability?

Xu Mao said embarrassedly: "It's the last time the little young master bought the stock of Yinuo Yaxing." ”

“......！”

Xu Menghui was speechless.

Xu Jirong couldn't wait to say: "Big butler, you go on!" ”

Xu Mao said: "The young master didn't meet Guo Dan last time, didn't he also save Guo Dan's life, and this time the young master can do the same." Didn't Guo Dan take out one million taels to save Wei Hui Mansion, and the young master could donate some money to Wei Hui Mansion, so it could be regarded as cooperating with Guo Dan. ”

"Great idea!"

Xu Jirong's eyes lit up, and he said to Xu Mengxi: "Grandpa, you can take a good look, grandson wants to save Guo Dan this time." ”

What a shame! Xu Mengxuan glanced at it slightly, and instead of being angry, he smiled and said, "Okay!" Grandpa looked at it, if this time, you can save Guo Dan again, then grandpa will not care about you in the future. ”

"Really?"

"Don't worry, but if you fail, you will have to listen to grandpa for everything in the future."

"Good! That's it. ”

"Let go of me, let go of me!"

Xu Jirong suddenly struggled.

The man looked at Xu Mengxi, who nodded slightly. They immediately let go of Xu Jirong.

"Chunchun! Bring a piece of paper. ”

With a whoosh, I saw Xu Chun rolling in with a piece of paper.

Xu Jirong took off the seal engraved with "Xu Jirong" from his waist, covered it on the paper, and instructed Xu Chundao: "You immediately ask someone to take three thousand taels and send it to Weihui Mansion, send this paper over, and tell Dan that this little uncle will cooperate with him and bear the loss of Weihui Mansion together." ”

Xu Mao was shocked, that's a million taels, can you afford it?

Xu Mengxi stopped him.

......

Go to pieces?

The end of the crossbow?

Aunt Xu looked at Guo Dan, who was hangover in front of her, but she didn't believe that Guo Dan was borrowing wine to kill her sorrows.

"I didn't expect the villagers in Yangzigou to be able to drink so much, but it really killed me."

Guo lightly rubbed his forehead and groaned depressedly.

After that day's feast, there was a small banquet for several days, and Guo Dan came back drunk almost every night.

It's a pity that Yang Feixu and Aunt Xu are both better than him, and it is difficult to have drunk and disorderly sex.

Aunt Xu handed him a cup of tea.

"Thank you!"

Guo Dan took the teacup and took a sip, "It's so comfortable!" ”

At this moment, Yang Feixu suddenly walked in, "Two more groups of people came today, and now the entire Yangzigou is under the surveillance of others." ”

Guo Dan said: "Can you tell them that you are not allowed to spread my drunken ugly state." ”

Yang Feixu said: "Do you mean it really? ”

"Of course it's fake."

Guo smiled lightly, in the era when there was no camera, Lao Tzu was afraid of a ball.

Aunt Xu suddenly asked, "What are you waiting for?" ”

Guo Dan was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "If I say that I am waiting to be killed by my opponent, can the layman believe it?" ”

Aunt Xu said: "Judging from your situation, I can't help but believe it. ”

Guo smiled lightly: "How can you say it." The reason why the layman has not seen through it this time is because the layman patronized and stared at me, but from beginning to end, this choice is not in my hands, life and death, success or failure, are all in their own hands, it depends on how they choose. In fact, there is very little I can do, and I plan to help Yangzigou build a good college during this period. ”

Aunt Xu looked at Guo Dan suspiciously, and was silent.

She really hasn't understood this game.

Judging from the chips of both sides, it is impossible for Guo Dan to win.

At this time, Kou Yi suddenly walked in and said, "Uncle, recently I found out that the banknote customs has sent more people, and the review is more strict. ”

"Really?"

Guo Dan smiled and thought to himself, it seems that the fat house has made a move. said: "You also send someone to keep an eye on me." ”

"Yes."

......

The news of Guo Dan's arrival in Nanjing had already spread in the city of Nanjing, and this immediately attracted the attention of the Nanjing bureaucrats.

If this good one does not come, the one who comes is not good!

They all sent people over one after another to "secretly" monitor Guo Dan's every move.

In addition to the absence of an emperor in Nanjing, the rest of the official offices are almost the same as those in the capital, and there are also six ministries, as well as the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and so on.

But most of these institutions have become pension institutions, without real power, Nanzhili is really in charge of the military department Shangshu Wang Yiyi, the garrison eunuch Tian Yi, and the commander of the Nanjing military affairs General Zhao Fei.

The reason why the three of them are in power is because they are all involved in military power.

However, Nanjing did not control the literature by force, because there were many literati here, and the scholars were very powerful, and they also had to be checked and balanced by civil forces.

"Building an academy?"

Wang Yiyu looked at the spies who came to report in disbelief, "You said that Guo Dan is building an academy?" ”

The spy nodded and said: "Yes, Guo Dan has been helping Yangzigou build an academy in recent days, saying that it is to let the children of Yangzigou study for free in the future, and become a jinshi to fulfill Guo Dan's father's last wish." ”

Tian Yi was angry and said with a smile: "Could it be that this kid is really here to worship his ancestors?" ”

We're like a great enemy here, you kid is building a primary school there, aren't you deliberately playing with us?

If you want to repair it, you tell us, we can help you repair it, the price is negotiable, what are you doing here, it makes it difficult for us to sleep.

General Zhao Fei didn't bother to guess, and said, "Why don't you just call him over and ask clearly?" ”

Tian Yi said: "Can he tell the truth?" ”

"He dares!"

"Don't forget, but His Majesty is protecting him."

.....

Wang Yihe glanced at General Zhao Fei slightly, and ignored him, if he could solve it like this, he wouldn't be able to wait for him to worry about it, and asked the spies again: "In addition, does he have any other actions?" ”

The spy said: "Guo Dan didn't, but Yinuo Yaxing recently sent a lot of people to the banknote to pick up the fleet of Weihui Mansion. ”

Wang Yihe nodded and said, "It seems that that kid is trying to cover up." ”

Zhao Fei said: "How can Wang Shangshu say this? ”

Wang Yihe said: "I thought that Guo Dan deliberately used himself to paralyze us, and at the same time let their people secretly monitor the banknotes, hoping to find out what he wanted. ”

Tian Yi nodded and said: "Hearing you say this, there is really this possibility, then we have to cheer up!" ”

General Zhao Fei sighed: "When is this a head!" ”

The three of them are in charge of Nanjing's armaments and rations, and in this change, the three of them have suffered heavy losses!

Wanli's extreme pressure not only did not deter the ministers, but made the new tariff law more strictly enforced, and the result was that as long as the fleet of Weihui Mansion paid full taxes, it could go wherever it could go unimpeded.

Even Mao Shen and Zhao Fengyuan didn't dare to make any small moves.

The two sides seem to be locked in a protracted war.

But the entire bureaucracy doesn't believe that Guo Dan can fight a protracted war with them, they just make a little less, and they are limited to the tariff part of the oil and water, and there are still a lot of places to get it, but Guo Dan can throw money into it.

How can this be consumed.

Not to mention that the bureaucracy did not believe it, even Li Tong did not believe that they could continue to consume it.

He calculated the days, as if the 100,000 taels given to him by Guo Dan should be almost used, so he went to the account room to check the accounts, and prepared to let the boatmen go to the money bank to receive their wages.

"How much money do you have left for us?"

"Tongye!"

The bookkeeper looked up at Li Tong blankly.

Li Tong sighed: "How much is left, you just say it, and we can't blame us for this." ”

"No... No. ”

The bookkeeper shook his head again and again, and said, "Yes... That's right, two days ago, Shin Bank had already helped us calculate the accounts, but I found out... Found... We made a lot of money. ”

"Earn... Made a lot of money? ”

Li Tong almost didn't bite his tongue.

The bookkeeper nodded straight and said: "Yes, in fact, since the beginning of last month, we have been making a profit, even if we have paid everyone's wages, we can still have a surplus of five thousand taels." ”

"How is this possible?"

Li Tong took a breath of cold air and said, "We have been losing money all the time, and we haven't done anything recently, why did we suddenly become profitable." ”

"It's true, Lord."

The account room simply handed the account book to Li Tong.

Li Tong hurriedly took it, opened it and looked at it.

The bookkeeper added: "We have also compared the previous accounts, and they have basically not changed, but there is only one thing that has changed, that is, the amount of goods we have transported has more than tripled. ”

Li Channel: "More than twice as much, it should be more of a loss!" ”

"That's right. But. ”

The bookkeeper said: "But in fact, our expenses have not increased much, because the ships and warehouses have already been built, and we have increased some wages, but before, many of our warehouses were not full, and it was impossible to use all the ships at the same time."

And now all our warehouses are full, although we only collect half of the money, but these money is too much, together is really a lot, the ships are also day and night non-stop to transport goods, but usually even if it is not moving, we have to pay the boatman, just a little less, here has added a lot of money, compared to the boatman's wages, is nothing at all. ”

Li Tong's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized: "I see, I see." What a trick the proprietor has made! ”
