Since Wang Xijue had already given a guarantee, there was naturally no reason for those people to continue to stay here and make trouble, and they soon dispersed.

But this month's guarantee made Wang Yiyu, Tian Yi and others very puzzled.

Does he really have a way to solve the problem?

Therefore, after returning to the official office, Wang Yihe cautiously asked: "I wonder if the adults have any clever plan to calm down this turmoil within a month?" ”

Wang Xijue glanced at Wang Yijue, and immediately smiled bitterly: "I don't have any good ideas, but Your Majesty asked me to settle this matter as soon as possible, if it can't be solved after a month, then the official... The official can only take the blame and resign as a way to apologize to His Majesty. ”

"Oops! This... What a good thing that is! ”

Wang Yiyu immediately looked anxious, but he secretly rejoiced in his heart.

Most of the officials around the canal are against the new tariff law, and those who don't oppose it are only because they are the people who applied for the time, because the new tariff law controls the tariffs in the hands of the cabinet, which of course they don't want to.

Wang Xijue was like a mirror and asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Wang Yiju, Zhao Feijiang, and Tian Yi looked at each other.

"My lord, this matter is really difficult to solve."

Wang Yihe said: "Xiaguan thinks that the best way is to start with Weihui Mansion." ”

Tian Yizhi nodded and said, "Just restrict the goods of Weihui Mansion from coming out." ”

Zhao Feijiang waved his hand and said: "Why is it so troublesome, I think this matter was all done by Guo Dan, the imperial court should not contract Weihui Mansion to Guo Dan, or let the government govern it, then there will be no problem." ”

.....．

Although they have cooperated with Guo Dan, it is just a one-shot deal, everyone takes what they need, in fact, they all hope that the cabinet will fight with Guo Dan, and then lose both, anyway, none of them like it.

Therefore, they put all the responsibility on Guo Dan, and if you go and solve Guo Dan, then there will be no problem.

After Wang Xijue heard this, he just wanted to laugh.

Because Guo Dan seems to think the same way, and has succeeded, the two factions have begun to fight.

Wang Xijue asked rhetorically: "Isn't Guo Dan in Nanjing now, why do you allow him to do anything wrong in Nanjing." ”

Tian Yi hurriedly said: "My lord Mingjian, we have always wanted to drive Guo Dan out of Nanjing, but the imperial court does not allow us to do this." ”

Wang Xijue frowned, and said a little helplessly: "It's not that we don't allow it, but Your Majesty doesn't allow it, because for Your Majesty, the people of Weihui Mansion are also Your Majesty's people, how can Your Majesty favor one over the other." ”

"It's... There's nothing we can do about it. ”

"Tracing back to the source, all problems come from Weihui Mansion, if you can't solve the problem from Weihui Mansion, it's really very difficult!"

.....．

Their meaning is very obvious, we only take care of Nanjing, but the problem is not in our Nanjing, but in Weihui Mansion, so there are so many things, it has nothing to do with us, we are innocent.

By the way, the responsibility is also completely brushed off.

Wang Xijue's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said: "But if the people think that this matter is all because of Guo Dan, not because of the new tariff law, then the official has no choice but to report it truthfully." ”

Wang Yihe was slightly stunned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Wang Xijue said: "In fact, this official thinks the same as you, the fault is not in the new tariff law, but in the Weihui Mansion, but many people do not know, or are confused by Guo Dan, so they oppose the new tariff law, if you can explain this matter to the people clearly, then I believe that all problems will be solved." ”

Tian Yi was not so sure: "My lord, I don't want the people to target Weihui Mansion, not the new tariff law." ”

Wang Xijue shook his head and said with a smile: "This official has no such intention, what this official means is to explain clearly to the people that this is not the fault of the new tariff law, the new tariff law actually protects them." ”

That's what you mean!

"Yes."

Wang Yiyu nodded and said, "Xiaguan knows what to do." ”

Tian Yi and Zhao Fei looked at Wang Yihe at the same time, and then agreed one after another.

Wang Xijue arched his hand and said: "Then there are three Lao." ”

"How dare you, how dare you, this is a matter within the duties of the lower officials."

Wang Yihe and the others hurriedly got up and returned the salute.

After Wang Xijue left, Tian Yi said to Wang Yijue: "Wang Shangshu, why did you just agree to him?" ”

Zhao Feijiang nodded and said, "Let's just watch a good show on the side, hurry up and mix in." ”

Wang Yihe smiled and said, "Gonggong Tian, General Zhao, what do you mean by him?" ”

Tian Yi snorted: "Doesn't he just want to put the blame on Guo Dan and Wei Hui Mansion, and use the public opinion of the people to put pressure on His Majesty, so as to be able to protect the new law." ”

Wang Yihe asked again: "Then do you think he can succeed in doing this?" ”

Tian Yi frowned and thought about it, and said: "It's really hard to say, after all, Guo Dan is quite prestigious in the entire Nanzhili now, and many people still have to rely on him, if you want the people to target Guo Dan, it's really not an easy task." ”

Wang Yihe laughed and said, "Then why not let him try." For a long time, Guo Dan and the cabinet have never clashed head-on, since Wang Xijue wants to use Guo Dan as a substitute for the dead ghost, I think Guo Dan will naturally not sit still. ”

Tian Yi said: "But what if he does?" ”

Wang Yihe said: "The new tariff law is even more meaningless, if Guo Dan wins, then the cabinet will really lose face." ”

"Yes!"

Tian Yi smiled: "It's good to let them fight!" ”

.....．

In fact, for a long time, many officials have asked to directly target Weihui Mansion, just because Wanli made it clear in the main hall that it could not be targeted at Weihui Mansion, and the cabinet also made a guarantee about this.

Therefore, even if Guo Dan is secretly targeted, it is extremely limited, and the cabinet has never had a hard time with Guo Dan.

Guo Dan is also ostensibly in favor of the new tariff law.

But now Wang Xijue's meaning is very clear, why the people are divided into several factions, some against Weihui Mansion, some against the new tariff law, this is not right, it is all the fault of Weihui Mansion, it should be aimed at Weihui Mansion.

This is to shift the responsibility to Guo Dan's head.

Then use public opinion to put pressure on Wanli, and the people hate Guo Dan so much, but it is not the new tariff law.

We are right, it is all Guo Dan who is obstructing it.

Wang Yiyu very much wants to see them dog-eat-dog, and he thinks that this will definitely be a lose-lose situation, because Guo Dan's status in Nanjing is not what it used to be, and it is not so easy to deal with Guo Dan, as long as Guo Dan can hold out for a month, then Wang Xijue will be finished, and Guo Dan will also be injured.

Under Wang Xijue's instructions, they began to become active.

There are still a lot of people in the entire Nanzhili who oppose Guo Dan.

They began to create public opinion and incite the people to target Guo Dan.

We should unify our demands and restrict Weihui Mansion shipments.

As soon as the wind direction changed, Sun Hetian and the others immediately noticed it, and they were really scolding their mothers in their hearts.

What kind of are you doing, we have just taken a breath, and you are going to do something like a moth, do you have to play us to death before you give up?

Now if Guo Dan withdraws, then they will lose a lot, and the key is that they have just seen a little hope.

The court won't lend them money, and if they don't ask for money, they will have to burn high incense.

They immediately ran to find Guo Dan.

A no-tooth line!

"You're here just in time, and I'm just going to talk to you."

Guo Dan said to Sun Hetian and the others with a tired face.

Sun Hetian hurriedly said: "But is it because of recent events? ”

Guo Dan nodded and sighed: "You should also receive the recent news, I plan to withdraw from Nanjing." ”

"Oops! You can't retreat from this! A businessman named Xie Guangfu exclaimed.

Guo Dan said: "I don't want to, I also hope that everyone can do well, we are all about harmony in business, so we are here to help you, hoping to turn the war into a jade silk, but the problem is that others don't think so, and now I have to protect myself, so I want to go back to Weihui Mansion immediately." ”

"Don't worry! Hold your horses! ”

Sun Hetian hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I don't think this matter has reached that point yet, those rumors are just deliberately instigated from above, we must support you." ”

"Not only us, but even our people in Nanjing also support you, you let those businessmen buy the silk materials in the hands of the people, but you also help them make money!"

.....．

All in all, in short, you are gone, but it is all messed up, and you don't know how to calculate this account.

Guo Dan glanced at them and sighed, "But... But I have been blessed ......! ”

"This has nothing to do with Grace."

Sun Hetian paused and said, "Now it is clear that they want to deal with you, and they use this kind of despicable trick, this is definitely not what Your Majesty asked them to do." ”

Guo Dan still hesitated.

Chen Sanyuan said bitterly: "Guo Dan, if you are willing to be this substitute for the dead ghost, then why did you have to take out a million taels to save Weihui Mansion in the first place, why did you come here to help us, now that you go back to Weihui Mansion, you can't hide, they are going to deal with you now." ”

"Yes, if you leave, the people of Nanjing may really hate you, in that case, the situation will be very unfavorable to you, they won't care what the people of Weihui Mansion think, after all, it is not under their control."

....．

Guo Dan frowned, slapped the table fiercely, and scolded indignantly: "What did I do, why did they just refuse to let me go." ”

"You didn't do anything wrong, it's wrong that you're a businessman." Xie Guangfu arched the fire road.

Sun Hetian said: "Guo Dan, we all support you, they are targeting you, then we will target his new tariff law." ”

"Yes! Just fanning the flames, who can't, we don't necessarily lose. ”

Guo Dan's eyes gradually flashed with tears, and he clenched his fists and said: "Everyone is supportive, and there is nothing to repay in the future, please accept the next gift." ”

"You are too much of an outsider, how can we be ungrateful if you help us so much."

"If you really can't do it, you can take out another million taels, then they will definitely not be opponents."

All the merchants nodded.

Let us Nanjing people feel your Guo Dan's courage.

That's certainly impossible to drop!

.....．

Guo Dan's hard work in Nanjing these days can be regarded as paying off.

The wind direction has reversed 180 degrees, and more and more people have begun to criticize the new law.

The momentum instantly overwhelmed the other party.

Because these people support Guo Dan, they are actually supporting their own vital interests, especially those small businessmen, they have just been restored, and if you let them die, then they must be desperate.

They also took the initiative to go to those people and told the people that if Guo Danzhen left, we would not have the money to buy silk for you.

Naturally, the people followed them.

There are also some big landlords who have always cooperated with Weihui Mansion, but they didn't dare to cause public anger before, and they have been holding back without making a sound, and now they see that so many Nanjing people support Guo Dan, so they naturally join the team.

Nanjing Government Office.

"What's going on? Why do the people of Nanjing support Guo Dan so much? ”

Wang Xijue asked angrily.

Tian Yi hurriedly said: "My lord Mingjian, it's only because Guo Dan took a lot of money to help them pay off their debts and help them run the workshop, so those people will support Guo Dan." ”

Wang Xijue wondered: "How much money did he take to buy people's hearts." ”

"That's a long story!"

Wang Yihe also told Wang Xijue about Guo Dan's acquisition of debts, 1510.

"I've heard about it, but I didn't expect it to be so impactful."

Wang Xijue frowned, thought for a while, and snorted: "It seems that this Guo Dan wants to fight with the official to the end, so don't blame the official for not being emotional." ”

He swept his gaze, "This official hopes that from today onwards, no ship from Weihui Mansion will be allowed to dock, and no ship will be allowed to go to Weihui Mansion. ”

Wang Yiyu immediately said: "Yes, the lower officials know what to do." ”

He secretly made eye contact with Tian Yi.

Obviously, Wang Xijue wants to use the power of the government to deal with Guo Dan, and they are very happy to see this happen, the more fierce you fight, the better.

They also incited the people to the banknote pass, and secretly ordered the army of the river to guard the entire river, and even the land route.

This is also the first time that Wang Xijue has blatantly used the power of the government to deal with Guo Dan.

This is really a fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond!

Both sides are facing off at the banknote.

And more and more people are joining it, but there are only two camps left, and some people support Guo Dan. There are also some who choose to support the government.

In this way, the stalemate lasted for half a month, and the canal was completely blocked, and the passing ships were also implicated.

Not only that, but Huguang's transport ships can't pass either.

Neither side is comfortable.

A no-tooth line.

"This Wang Xijue really has some means."

Guo Dan sat at the tea table, playing with the teacup, and said with a smile: "It's so easy and comfortable to cooperate with smart people." ”

Aunt Xu smiled: "I think this heat is about the same." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I have to help Sun Hetian and them find and talk, so that they don't get too addicted to it and can't finish it when the time comes, which will be embarrassing." ”

You must know that Wang Xijue came here, not to deal with Guo Dan, he came to negotiate with Guo Dan, but he can't say that he came here, so he immediately went to negotiate with Guo Dan.

Then everyone knows that you are colluding in secret, and the other party will definitely sabotage it, and it will definitely not be able to negotiate.

In addition, Guo Danfart is not one, what can he decide in Nanjing?

Before coming, Wang Xijue was also very puzzled, how to talk to Guo Dan, even Shen Shixing didn't understand this.

Does Guo Dan have such a big influence?

And when Wang Xijue saw Wang Yiju and them, and went to the banknote to take a look, he immediately knew what was going on.

Wang Yiju pushed the responsibility to the people below, which was actually in line with Wang Xijue's intentions, because he just wanted to talk to Guo Dan, and he was afraid that Wang Yiju and them would cause chaos from it.

But how to make their negotiations meaningful, to become decisive.

Then first of all, we have to create a stalemate, the two sides are facing each other, the flags are clear, and everyone can't stand it.

In this way, Guo Dan's words can convince the public, and their negotiations will have an opportunity and substance.

It can't be said that after the two of them finished talking, everyone didn't support it, which would be very embarrassing.

The key is to put Wang Yiyu and them aside, and let the two factions negotiate on behalf of the people and the court.

......．

On the second day, Guo Dan helped Sun Hetian and others find it.

"Guys, it's not a way to fight like this!" Guo sighed.

Sun Hetian said: "We don't want to fight either, they won't let us go." ”

Chen Sanyuan snorted: "We are uncomfortable, but they are not much better, Wang Xijue said that he will give everyone an explanation in a month, and now more than half a month has passed, if he can't solve it, see how he goes back to restore his life." ”

"Yes, let's hold on for another half a month and see who dies first."

These guys seem to have killed red-eyed.

They are really very angry in their hearts, they have not achieved enough, they have more than enough failures, and it is not enough to come back once, and they have to come back a second time.

"That being said, but ......."

Guo Dan said with a worried face: "But I'm afraid that Wang Xijue will be forced to be in a hurry, and he will jump off the wall in a hurry, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" After all, we don't have any deep hatred and hatred, and we can't make trouble to the point of life and death. Moreover, having said that, after all, he is an official, we are the people, and the people do not fight with the officials. ”

"Admitting defeat is a dead end!" Sun Hetian spread his hands and said.

Guo Dan pretended to ponder, and after a while, he said: "Everyone, we are all seeking money, and if we continue to make trouble like this, we can't solve all the problems, in this case, why don't we try to negotiate with the imperial court and solve all these problems, it's good for everyone." ”

"Is the court willing to talk to us?"

"Didn't you say it too, they didn't feel good, but after all, they are cabinet scholars, how can they bow their heads to us, why don't we lower our posture first and talk to them, if we can negotiate, wouldn't everyone be happy."

"If we can negotiate, then what else to say, of course we are willing." A wealthy businessman said pitifully.

Does defeating Wang Xijue mean anything to them? In fact, it doesn't make sense, after all, they can't be cabinet ministers, and they are all taken advantage of.

Many wealthy businessmen really don't want to continue fighting.

"I'm afraid they won't talk to us."

"If it doesn't work out, then you have to try it! It really doesn't work, let's find another way. ”

"It's okay to try, Guo Dan, you can talk to him on our behalf."

"I'm the only one to go."

Guo sighed: "After all, they have to deal with me." ”

.....．

On the second day, Guo Dan went to Wang Xijue's house, and Wang Xijue had already been waiting for him, and when Guo Dan entered the house, he sat in it alone.

"Grass people, Guo Dan, see the adults."

Wang Xijue blew on the hot tea lightly, as if he hadn't heard it.

Guo Dan straightened up very naturally, and then said with an embarrassed face: "Grass... The grass people thought that the adults would say 'no courtesy'. ”

Wang Xijue put down the teacup and said, "The official also thinks that you won't be able to salute." ”

"How can you!"

Guo Dan said: "This is not a courtesy, but the adults want to cure the sins of the grass people." ”

"Who is now able to cure your sins?"

Wang Xijue sneered, his head tilted slightly, "Sit down." ”

Now that Guo Dan has the upper hand, let Guo Dan stand, he feels embarrassed in his heart.

"Thank you, sir."

After Guo Dan sat down, Wang Xijue sighed and said, "Guo Dan! This time, the official is convinced! ”

Guo smiled lightly: "I thought this was a winner's negotiation, and all those who could participate in this negotiation were winners." ”

"Really?" Wang Xijue snorted: "That official would like to hear the details. ”

Guo Dan said: "Adults pursue law changes, and they also hope that the country will become better and the treasury will become full, not for the sake of greedy power, isn't it?" ”

Wang Xijue only felt a slight heat on his face, in fact, tariffs are not a big deal, his purpose is to strengthen the centralization of power, and plan for future reforms. "But you don't agree. ”

Guo smiled lightly: "This skin does not exist, Mao will be attached, of course the grass people also hope that the Ming Dynasty is getting better and better, about this point, the grass people and adults are absolutely consistent." The grass people just don't agree with the adults.

Adults use the grass people to change the law, first of all, this is very unfair to the grass people, many people secretly target the grass people everywhere, and the grass people will naturally not sit still.

Second, if this is done, the new law will not be reliable, after all, the new law has not won the hearts and minds of the people.

Finally, there are many problems with the new law itself, and you may think that you can lead by example, but profiteers like us often live in the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ”

Wang Xijue just smiled faintly, isn't this good or not, didn't you think of it? He didn't bother to argue, anyway, it was Guo Dan who was right, and asked, "That means that your set will be more popular?" ”

Guo Dan groaned a little and said, "I just think that involving both Qianzhuang and Xinxing will make everyone feel safe, and it is better than one side to control it." ”

Wang Xijue snorted: "Not necessarily! Many officials in the DPRK and China do not feel safe. ”

"Those are the enemies." Guo Dan replied immediately.

Wang Xijue was stunned, and then burst out laughing.

Guo smiled and asked, "Why are you laughing?" ”

Wang Xijue said: "Because the official suddenly thought of what kind of faces those people would be when they arrived. ”

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "When I say this, the grass people want to laugh too." ”

Wang Xijue was indeed laughing at those courtiers, officials, and magnates.

It was precisely because of those people that the cabinet was forced to stand on Guo Dan's side, but it was not Guo Dan who forced them to this point.

If they can really work together, then Guo Dan really has no chance at all, but it's a pity that everyone has their own calculations and can't unite as one.

But they never imagined that Guo Danbu's decision to set up this situation was actually to force the cabinet to cooperate with them, and then deal with them.

It's really ironic.

And Guo Dan must control the river, otherwise, he will have no sense of security, because whether it is the current Weihui Mansion or the overseas plan in the future, it needs transportation, and those corrupt officials control the river, who can stand it, and he can't contract the entire canal, unless the emperor lays off all the officials along the river.

But this is not possible.

He could only choose to cooperate with the faction in the court, let them come forward to control it, and intervene in the back.

Then, of course, he would choose to cooperate with the cabinet.

Wang Xijue asked again: "But there is one thing that this official has never been able to understand. ”

Guo said lightly: "The adult asked about the million taels." ”

Wang Xijue nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

This puzzle has not been solved yet, I made up for it in Weihui Mansion for a long time, and then I came to Jiangnan to make up for it, how many million taels did you take!

Guo Dan groaned for a while, and said: "The grass people also have something to understand, and I hope the adults will tell me." ”

Wang Xijue asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Why don't I take the arithmetic test in the scientific examination? ”

Wang Xijue was speechless.

Guo Dan didn't plan to say it.

Since you don't pay attention to arithmetic, you should suffer in this regard!

Are you embarrassed to ask.

Wang Xijue was really embarrassed to ask again, and said, "Say, what are you going to do?" ”

Guo Dan said: "First of all, greatly reduce tariffs, so that everyone will be happy." ”

"Lower tariffs?"

Wang Xijue said in surprise.

Guo smiled lightly: "Your Majesty has said that you must make great efforts to make the country prosperous, so Your Majesty hopes to reduce the taxes of the people." ”

Wang Xijue was shocked that this is this, sooner or later this tariff will be handed over to the emperor, this reduction is the emperor's money, isn't Wanli just for money? He asked, "But this official thinks that things should not be so simple. ”

Guo Dan said: "Of course it's not that simple, the tariff will also be responsible for the management of the river, so as to reduce the pressure on the government along the way, I think they will all be very much in favor." ”

Wang Xijue was really dizzy when he heard it, and after half a loud sound, he sighed with emotion: "You are very right, why don't you test arithmetic in the scientific examination." ”

PS: Nearly 7,000 words of big chapter, there will be no more in the afternoon.
