I have to say that Guo Dan really gave Wanli a problem, Wanli has two hobbies in his life, house and money, before he met Guo Dan, these two hobbies are not in conflict, counting money in the palace is the most enjoyable moment for Wanli, but now, these two hobbies collide together, making Wanli very entangled.

For Guo Dan, if Wanli goes, it will naturally be of great help, but if Wanli doesn't go, it will not affect the entire plan, after all, he has already contracted the ten horse farms.

The Kou family.

"It's true...... It's true? ”

Although Kou Shouxin had known in advance, he still showed an expression of disbelief when he really took the contract signed between Taifu Temple and Guo Dan.

He has been in business for more than 20 years, but he never thought that a businessman could go so far that he could even contract the government affairs of the state.

Guo smiled lightly: "Father-in-law, this is actually nothing, it's just ten horse farms, and it's not the entire capital horse administration, that's interesting." ”

Kou Liansha reminded: "Husband, this is different from ordinary trading, if the ordinary transaction is not done well, at most it will only lose some money, if this transaction is not done well, it may lead to death." ”

Kou Shouxin nodded and said, "Yes!" Virtuous son-in-law, you must be cautious in this matter. ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Father-in-law, madam, don't worry, since I dare to win this deal, I am naturally sure, and the most important thing is that this money belongs to His Majesty." ”

Kou Shouxin nodded slightly,

Kou Zhuansha said: "Now this deal is not a tooth deal, and Zhou Feng and they don't want to have anything to do with this deal, I don't know what the husband plans to do?" ”

The current tooth shop is not their Kou family's, since this is not a trade of the tooth shop, then naturally the resources of the tooth shop cannot be used, even if Guo Dan wants to cooperate with the tooth shop again, Zhou Feng and they will not agree.

Guo Dan said: "I will find someone else to help, and I have already thought about this candidate." ”

"Who?"

"Liu Xinmou, who will lose every gamble."

"He will lose every time he gambles, and you still choose him?" Kou Shouxin was surprised.

Guo Dan nodded and said: "My son-in-law watched the sky at night a few days ago, and found that Liu Xinmou had lost all the money in his life, and he was about to come to Jitai. ”

Kou Shouxin said: "Could it be that the virtuous son-in-law will still observe the heavens?" ”

"Daddy, don't listen to his nonsense." Kou Zhuan Sha glanced at Guo Dan, "Husband, you can't say this casually, we ordinary people can't observe the sky." ”

Guo Dan was surprised: "Can't even watch the sky? ”

Kou Zhuan Sha said: "Naturally not, only His Majesty can observe the heavens in the world today. ”

Guo Dan listened to it, and felt that it was a miracle that he had survived until now.

But this is not the case, if he lived in the Taizu period, it can be called a miracle, fortunately, he lived in the Wanli period, which was also the most relaxed period of the Ming Dynasty.

Let's say that this gambling, because Taizu is born in cloth, I saw many people, because of gambling and the family is ruined, for gambling is a deep hatred, so a very strict gambling ban has been issued, but if gambling is caught, when you have to cut off your hands.

Though the law is still ...... today.

Inside a gambling house in the east of the city.

"Big ...... Big....... ”

"Little ...... Small....... ”

In this foul-smelling, dim, damp room, the gamblers did not lose their enthusiasm in the slightest, and shouted hoarsely, more exaggerated than in the presidential suite......

"Six o'clock small."

The moment the results came out, there was a lot of mourning again, and only a few people were cheering.

"Small money, small money."

Only one person could be heard.

I saw a little guy running over again, and asked in a low voice, "Liu Gongzi, what do you command?" ”

"Go and fetch me fifty taels again."

The little guy hesitated a little, and said with a sneer: "Liu Gongzi, you have been gambling for a whole day and a night, or you should go back and rest first, and come back tomorrow." ”

"What? Are you afraid that I won't give money? ”

"The villain doesn't mean that, the villain is just ......."

At this time, a middle-aged man came over and said, "Liu Gongzi, go back and rest, and come back again, my gambling house is not open on this day." ”

When the boy saw the middle-aged man, he immediately said: "Lao Dong, you came just in time, give me another fifty taels, you can rest assured, we will come back with five guns to pay the bill." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a man say, "Give him a hundred taels." ”

"Guo Dan?"

The person who came was Guo Dan.

And the gambler who asked for money was Liu Xinmou, and now that the canonization ceremony has been completed, Guo Dan also fulfilled his promise and let him take a long vacation, so that he could enjoy gambling.

"Guo Dan, why are you here?" Liu Xinmou was surprised.

Guo smiled lightly: "I'm afraid that you will lose our face with five guns, so let's take a look." ”

Liu Xinmou's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said: "You don't know, I was very lucky in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, alas...... But don't worry, I'll win it back later. ”

Guo Dan said: "I don't mean winning or losing. ”

"What's that?"

"I mean, you only need fifty taels at a time, which is too petty, but you are also the proprietor of five guns, so if you have to be a little more generous, you have to ask for at least one hundred taels."

Liu Xinmou suddenly burst into tears and said, "Guo Dan, I'm ...... I really misunderstood you before...... ”

"It's not too late to find out!"

Guo Dan smiled slightly, and said to the owner of the gambling house: "Go and get a hundred taels for him." ”

The proprietor naturally knows this son-in-law of the Kou family, and recently walked on the street, six or seven of the ten tea shops were talking about the son-in-law of the Kou family, and if Guo Dan had not greeted him in advance, they would not dare to lend so much money to Liu Xinmou, you must know that Liu Xinmou had already lost nearly three hundred taels, nodded and said: "No problem, Guo Gongzi, please wait a while, I will order someone to get it now." ”

Soon, the money was withdrawn.

Liu Xinmou took the money, immediately lay on the gambling table again, threw out three taels of silver, and said excitedly: "Continue to press." ”

"Wait."

Guo Dan said suddenly.

Liu Xinmou turned around and said, "Small? It has been three small in a row, and it is impossible to make it smaller. ”

Guo smiled lightly: "I don't know how to gamble, I mean, these three taels are too little, and if you don't say anything, you have to pay ten taels!" ”

"Ten taels?"

The surrounding gamblers suddenly took a breath of cold air, and the people who came here to gamble were all people from the market, and they were all a few pennies, at most a few dollars of silver, and ten taels was the living expenses of ordinary people for half a year.

They looked at Guo Dan in a daze, as if asking, are you still recruiting people with five guns?

Rao is Liu Xinmou was a little frightened, in fact, he also looked at Guo Dan, and he had the bottom in his heart, so he dared to bet three taels, usually he bet at most one or two pieces of silver, which is usually a few dollars of silver.

However, since Guo Dandu said this, what else did he say, and said arrogantly: "Okay, just listen to you, ten taels." ”

Then he threw out a few taels of silver.

It's a pity that he has pride, but he doesn't have the luck, these eleven taels once, one hundred taels can't afford to lose.

After a while, one hundred taels were lost.

Without waiting for Liu Xinmou to speak, Guo Dan said, "Go and get another two hundred taels." ”

"Interesting."

Liu Xinmou looked at Guo Dan with a touched face.

Guo smiled lightly: "It's a little meaning." ”

The people on the side are stupid, and there is no need to be so capricious if you have money.

Not to mention that the people on the side stopped, even the gamblers on the table next to them came over to watch the excitement, which is even more exciting than their own betting!

Liu Xinmou saw that everyone came to watch the game, and he was also in a surging mood, full of fighting spirit, and gambled with all his attention with the silver, and the people in the entire casino shouted and cheered.

However, this is not a war, and morale is of no use, and after half an hour, two hundred taels will be lost.

Guo Dan said again: "Go and get another five hundred taels." ”

"Sizzle......."

Everyone present gasped.

Liu Xinmou also looked at Guo Dan a little confused.

"Go get it!"

Guo Dan looked at the little guy and said.

"East ...... Proprietors. ”

The little guy trembled slightly, this was the first time someone had asked for as much as five hundred taels at a time in their gambling house.

This son-in-law of the Kou family really lives up to his reputation! Seeing that Guo Dan was always smiling, a flash of praise flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Go and get it for him." ”

After a while, the little guy brought five hundred taels.

Liu Xinmou's eyes were red when he was moved, and said, "Guo Dan, don't worry, this time I will definitely win back all the principal and interest." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "What are you doing, just this amount of money, what are you doing, just for a pastime." ”

Five hundred taels for a pastime?

Even Xu Jirong's loser is not as ruthless as you!

When Liu Xinmou heard this, he felt that it was quite unpleasant, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Guo said lightly: "You continue!" ”

"Oh."

Liu Xin nodded his head in a wooden manner, and then casually threw out a few taels of silver, and he didn't seem to care about how much.

Compared with the previous two times, Liu Xinmou seems to be a little absent-minded this time, every time he bets before, he will carefully consider how much to bet, but this time he seems to be a robot.

At that time, the group of gamblers on the side were even more excited than before, but their psychology also changed, they no longer hoped that Liu Xinmou would win, but hoped that Liu Xinmou would lose, and they wanted to know if Guo Dan would continue to take money to Liu Xinmou.

It's a lot more fun than gambling.

Although it was Liu Xinmou who gambled, Guo Dan obviously became the focus of the audience, everyone was paying attention to him, and he always kept smiling, whether he won or lost.

An hour later, everyone was looking forward to it, and Liu Xinmou lost it again.

Guo Dan said again: "Go and get a thousand taels." ”

This time, even the proprietor of the gambling house was stunned.

As for the other gamblers, they only felt that their hearts were about to stop, and the urge to recognize their godfather arose.

"Guo Dan, are you crazy?"

Liu Xinmou suddenly jumped up and roared at Guo Dan.

Guo Dan said angrily: "Your uncle, Lao Tzu gave you money to gamble, and you still scolded me?" ”

Liu Xinmou said excitedly: "But it's not like you take it like this, play like this, no matter how much money you have, you can lose it all!." ”

Guo Dan said: "It's just a pastime, no, didn't I tell you at the beginning, I must let you have a good time, I came over today, I'm afraid you can't let go." ”

As he spoke, he said to the proprietor of the gambling house, "Make an IOU, I know that a thousand taels is not a small amount to you." ”

The proprietor of the gambling house felt uncomfortable when he heard it, when could this son-in-law of the Kou family talk to him like this, not long ago, his wealth was much more than that of the Kou family.

"No need, I don't gamble."

Liu Xinmou suddenly stood up and walked outside.

Those gamblers are stupid, they have money to gamble on you, but you still don't gamble?

It's really weirder than the other.

"I'll have someone send me money later."

Guo Dan threw down this sentence and followed out.

"If I give you money to gamble, and I offend you?"

Guo Dan walked to Liu Xinmou's side and said with a smile.

Liu Xinmou shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with you, it's just that I feel bored and don't want to gamble." ”

"Why?"

Guo Dan said curiously.

Liu Xin conspired: "Gambling money is to win money, but you don't treat this money as money, so what's the point of gambling." ”

Guo smiled lightly.

Liu Xinmou suddenly looked at Guo Dan and said, "You did it on purpose?" ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "I'm just letting you understand a reality." ”

Liu Xinmou asked, "What reality?" ”

"Let's talk as we go."

Guo Dan walked forward, stretched his waist, and said to himself: "The weather is really good today, staying in there, it's really a waste of time!" ”

Liu Xinmou hurriedly followed.

"The reality is that this is how you should play, not just holding your money bag and calculating like before."

Guo Dan walked as he walked.

Liu Xinmou was stunned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Guo Dan said: "The meaning is very simple, the money you can make with your talent cannot be squandered by gambling, that is to say, gambling can only be a pastime for you, to have fun." ”

Liu Xinmou said angrily: "Thanks to you, I don't have the ability to do this." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "It's because you don't have this ability, or you don't care at all." ”

Liu Xinmou glanced at him: "You seem to have something to say." ”

Guo Dan said: "Everyone lives for themselves, not for the affirmation of others. ”

Liu Xinmou frowned and didn't make a sound.

Guo Dan said again: "Look at me, I was just a son-in-law who even looked down on my subordinates, but now? No one dares to underestimate me anymore, and the situation of the concubine should be much better than that of the son-in-law. ”

Liu Xinmou said: "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Guo smiled lightly: "I have inquired, you have been talented since you were a child, you have a talent that you will never forget, and your talent is far above them, it was only later that you slowly mixed in the market and got involved in these vices, I think this should be that you found that no matter how hard you work, you will never get your father's approval, so you chose to embark on this road." ”

Liu Xin conspired: "This should be the fate of the concubine." ”

"That means you've resigned yourself to your fate."

"What if you don't recognize it, a concubine is a concubine, and this cannot be changed." Liu Xinmou's eyes were full of loneliness.

"You're right, the concubine is always the concubine, and you can't change the concubine, but other than that, nothing can not be changed, maybe you can't get your father's approval, but you can do it above your father, and then you think about whether you should agree with your father."

Liu Xinmou looked at Guo Dan in shock.

Guo smiled lightly: "Last time I promised to let you have a good time, I didn't lose my word, and this time is no exception." ”

Liu Xinmou frowned and said, "Something to do with Marseille?" ”

Guo Dan was slightly stunned and said, "How do you know?" ”

Liu Xinmou said: "There was news last night, and I heard that many ministers are very dissatisfied with this, and they may have already submitted a report to His Majesty to oppose this matter. ”

Guo said lightly: "Then do you think they can make His Majesty take back his life?" ”

Liu Xin conspired: "It depends on your means. ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Then are you interested?" ”

Liu Xinmou hesitated a little and said, "I heard that this Marseille can also bet." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "If you agree, you will soon understand why you keep losing money." ”

Liu Xinmou said: "Hearing you say this, I am a little interested, I have always thought that this has nothing to do with my gambling skills." ”

"Uh...... I think there is still a relationship. ”

Guo Dan's ambition is not small, so he also needs some helpers, and Liu Xinmou was locked by him early on, in fact, whether it was the previous Three Musketeers or the current Five Guns, he didn't care much anymore, and Xu Jirong and Zhu Lizhi are not the ones in charge, Liu Xinmou has always been busy, although he has always complained, but he has handled it very well.

Then Guo Dan inquired again, it turned out that Liu Xinmou was very smart when he was a child, and he taught Zhu Lizhi to paint, but he gradually let himself go, and the reason was because he was just a concubine, no matter how good he did, he never got his father's approval, which made him lose his momentum to work hard.

But it is precisely for this reason that Guo Dan chose Liu Xinmou, and it is still difficult for geniuses to fall.

He talked to Liu Xinmou about Marseille in detail, and Liu Xinmou was excited to hear it, which is much more interesting than simple gambling, and this time he is a banker.

The two chatted and chatted, and inadvertently, came to Liang Yuan.

"Find a place to sit."

After walking for so long, Guo Danfang felt a little tired, it can be seen that Liu Xinmou did not answer, turned his head to look, and saw Liu Xinmou turn his head to look at one place, and couldn't help but follow his gaze again, only to see a group of Confucian scholars sitting on the ground by the lake, which was very common in the Ming Dynasty, many scholars and scholars liked to sit together, comment on current affairs, or exchange knowledge, but Guo Danke had never seen it, and there were women among them.

I saw a beautiful and tall Dao Gu standing in front of them.

It is Xu Jirong's aunt.

"Huh? What are they doing? ”

"I should be listening to Aunt Xu's lecture."

"What?"

Guo Dan exclaimed: "They listen to a woman lecturing? ”

Liu Xinmou said: "Aunt Xu is not an ordinary woman? ”

Not an ordinary woman, maybe she has three breasts? Guo Dan muttered to himself, and then asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Liu Xinmou said: "Aunt Xu is the real genius, if it weren't for a woman, she would have been the champion of high school a long time ago, didn't you see it, this year's champion Tang Wenwen and Cao Keke, the son-in-law of Shen Shoufu, were also sitting there." Let's go and listen. ”

"Hey, we're merchants!"

Guo Dan hurriedly shouted, I don't know if he felt guilty, anyway, he didn't want to be with Aunt Xu, but Liu Xinmou had already walked over.

This guy is really, this deal is not over yet. Guo Dan followed, and when he was about to take Liu Xinmou away, he suddenly heard a Confucian ask: "I don't know what Xu Jushi thinks of my court?" ”

This is the most violent thing recently, and a special court meeting was held to discuss it.

Guo Dan immediately looked at Aunt Xu and thought, this is interesting.

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "I am naturally a very failure in Ma Zheng, which is also a well-known thing. ”

"I don't know why it failed?"

"Failure because of people." Aunt Xu replied.

"The layman is talking about Father?"

Aunt Xu replied: "Yes, but no, although my father is in an important position, he is only a servant Siqing, and he is not able to make the entire Ma Zheng fail." In fact, not only Ma Zheng, but also many aspects of the system of our dynasty are becoming extinct in name, and the reason for this is that there are too many people talking and too few people doing things. ”

Tang Wenwen asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Aunt Xu said: "I heard that today's Lord Shoufu puts personal morality in the first place when selecting officials, I don't know if Tang Zhuangyuan thinks it is right or wrong?" ”

Tang Wenwen said: "Of course, if the personal morality is not good, how can you expect him to benefit the society." ”

He cherishes his reputation very much, similar to Hai Rui, has a moral cleanliness habit, and naturally supports Shen Shixing very much.

Aunt Xu asked: "Then I don't know what Tang Zhuangyuan thinks of the morality of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty?" What is the morality of Tian Khan Tang Taizong? What is Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's morality? ”

"It's ......."

"Then I wonder if the three of them have benefited the community?" Aunt Xu asked again.

Tang Wenwen wiped the sweat from his forehead, but he didn't know how to respond.

If these three people want to talk about morality, the cliff will be sprayed to death, and they don't need keyboard warriors to play, but they have all created a prosperous era.

Aunt Xu sighed: "This is the root of my Daming's illness, Shen Shoufu is the first assistant of the cabinet, the first task should be to govern the country, and the evaluation of officials should be based on ability and talent, not morality, and ministers like Shen Shoufu abound, they control power, but they are focused on this etiquette and morality, which is really putting the cart before the horse." ”

Tang Wenwen said: "According to the layman, isn't morality important? ”

Aunt Xu shook her head and said: "I didn't say so, morality is important, but education is the responsibility of parents and teachers, and after a person has received education, whether he can become a moral person lies in his self-cultivation, not the supervision of others.

Those ministers of the DPRK and the central government talk about the etiquette system every day, in fact, it is meaningless, those who are well-cultivated will naturally abide by the etiquette system, and those who are not cultivated will only serve the yang and the yin, and they only need to set an example is the best way. As an official, we should not focus on morality, but on technology, and governing the country requires skill, not morality. Let's just say that this horse politics problem, it is difficult to raise horses, and the income of pasture is not as great as that of cultivated land, how can this be improved with morality? ”

Cao Ke smiled: "Presumably this is Mr. Yangming's 'unity of knowledge and action'." ”

Aunt Xu shook her head and said: "The unity of knowledge and action is broad and profound, and everyone has a different understanding, but the reason why Mr. Yang Ming is respected is not because he proposed the unity of knowledge and action, but because he made great achievements in the world. ”

Guo Dan was a little confused when he heard this, what kind of society am I in, yesterday my wife told me that I can't watch the sky, and today this woman openly talked about the cabinet minister, and also criticized it all over again.

Cao Ke nodded, suddenly looked back, and said, "Presumably Captain Guo must have a different opinion. ”

The captain is actually the officer in the Jinyi Guard, and he has no official position.

Aunt Xu had also discovered Guo Dan a long time ago, and couldn't help but look at him as well.

Guo Dan blinked and said, "I'm just passing by." ”

Cao Ke said with a smile: "I heard that Captain Guo put forward a very unique opinion on Ma Zheng, a Marseille can solve the problem of Ma Zheng, and can benefit the country and the people, but unfortunately he was not present at the time, and he didn't know very much, since he talked about Ma Zheng, Guo Xiaowei might as well talk to us." ”

A Confucian scholar muttered, "It's ridiculous that a little tooth merchant is talking about national affairs." ”

Aunt Xu smiled: "That's better than doing nothing." ”

She looked up at Guo Dan and said, "I also want to hear your opinion." ”

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, and there was a feeling of flattery.

Liu Xinmou rolled his eyes and said, "Guo Dan, this hospitality is difficult to resist, and if you don't say it, others will think that there is something greasy in it." ”

You bastard, you fuck me. Guo Dan glared at Liu Xinmou angrily, it could be seen that everyone was looking at him, if he didn't say something, he was afraid that they would really think that there was something greasy in it, and after a little groaning, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "What did you say just now?" ”

Cao Ke said: "The unity of knowledge and action. ”

"Mr. Yangming's unity of knowledge and action, don't you know?"

"I don't know much."

Guo Dan smiled and said, "But my philosophy is somewhat similar to his. ”

"It's nonsense, how can you compare with Mr. Yang Ming."

Cao Ke asked, "I want to hear about it." ”

Is this kid trying to avenge his father-in-law and make a fool of me? Guo Dan glanced at Cao Ke and said with a smile: "My concept is the unity of brains and farts. ”

"Brains and butts?"

"Not bad. To put it crudely, it's the head and the ass in one. ”

Aunt Xu frowned slightly, she had already experienced it once.

"It's really rude, you merchant, go away quickly, don't disturb us and others." A Confucian said angrily.

In fact, the Confucian scholars looked at each other angrily and asked Guo Dan to leave immediately, for fear of being polluted by Guo Dan. Even Tang Wenwen shook his head.

Listen to the words of the sage, the unity of knowledge and action, even if you don't understand, you can feel very knowledgeable, and then listen to the unity of this brain, how disgusting.

"Okay, okay, you guys, I'll go first." Guo Dan nodded hurriedly.

Cao Ke said: "This brain ...... What does unity mean? ”

The rest of the people looked at Cao Ke in puzzlement, the son-in-law of your dignified Shoufu family, it is really not ashamed to talk about such vulgar words with this kind of person.

Guo Dan sighed: "It's very simple, it's the butt that decides the head." ”
