Whether it is Wang Yihe or Zhao Feijiang, they know very well in their hearts that Guo Dan's remarks at the salt merchant conference undoubtedly kicked off the prelude to this war.

Of course, the other party will not easily give this salt profit to others.

Although there are many interests involved, in fact, salt profit is not the most critical, but Guo Dan first started with salt merchants, so salt profit is naturally a very critical area.

Neither side is likely to make the slightest concession.

After Wan Jian left, someone immediately came to the door, not giving Wang Yihe and Zhao Fei a chance to breathe.

This made Wang Yihe and Zhao Feijiang also feel great pressure.

There is no way, Wanli is going to perform major surgery on the whole country this time.

At this point, anything can happen.

After leaving the military department, Wan Jian immediately went to the Wei State Mansion.

This Wei Duke Xu Weizhi is the descendant of the founding meritorious Xu Da, after all, Xu Da is the first hero of the founding of the country, is a family of two dukes, one is in the north of Zhili, was named the Duke of Dingguo, the other is the Duke of Wei, the current Duke of Wei Xu Weizhi served as the garrison outside Nanjing.

The Nanjing garrison is divided into internal and external garrisons, and the internal garrison is naturally held by eunuchs who hold great power, while the outer garrison is generally held by meritorious personnel, and the power is not as good as the internal garrison.

However, Tian Yi, the previous Nanjing garrison, was suddenly transferred to the capital a year ago to serve as the governor of Dongchang, because Wanli did not immediately arrange someone to come to Nanjing to succeed him, after all, this position is very important, and Wanli must also consider it carefully, so for the time being, a eunuch named Luo Zhi by Tian Yi's side served as the internal guard.

Since it was only temporary, and Luo Zhide's ability was far inferior to Tian Yi's, the power that originally belonged to the internal garrison was temporarily controlled by the military department Shangshu, the Nanjing Admiral and the Nanjing Outer Garrison.

"Childish!"

Xu Weizhi snorted lightly: "I really can't imagine that Wang Yilu is so naïve, the matter has come to this point, if he still wants Nanzhili to be peaceful, then Guo Dan must be driven out of Nanzhili, otherwise, how can this Nanzhili be peaceful, do we want to give everything to Guo Dan, a businessman?" ”

As a powerful person among the powerful, Xu Weizhi is naturally very opposed to the New Deal, Yanli is only secondary, as long as they have power, even if they give up Yanli, sooner or later they will come back, the key is to cancel the tax-free privilege, which is very fatal for a powerful person like them, coupled with the reform of the military system, it will seriously hurt their interests.

His family has land, but all the soldiers are planting it.

He had been tolerating it before, but it can be seen that Wanli has weakened the rights and interests of the powerful step by step, and at the same time suppressed the powerful forces in the court, and he can't sit still.

Wan Jian said: "Grandpa Guo, that cannon sounded, but scared those salt merchants to the point that they were urine, if we don't do anything, those salt merchants may choose to take refuge in Guo Dan, although those salt merchants are not worried, but their surrender will make more people choose to surrender to Guo Dan, we must immediately fight back against Guo Dan." ”

Xu Weizhi nodded and said: "I should also give Guo Dan a little color to see, otherwise, he really thinks that he can cover the sky with one hand." ”

"Amitabha!"

A middle-aged monk who had been sitting next to him was silent and suddenly said: "Just a businessman, how can you do it yourself, if Grandpa Guo does not think that the poor monk has a meager ability, the poor monk is willing to share this worry for Grandpa Guo." ”

Xu Weizhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "If the abbot of the Miaofa is willing to help me, it would really be great." ”

The Miaofa monk clasped his hands together: "Amitabha." ”

......

The sky gradually darkened, and as the bell rang, the noisy city of Nanjing finally gradually quieted down.

"Looks like your plan has worked."

Aunt Xu in front of the window turned around and said to Guo Dan: "Wang Yiyu finally chose neutrality. ”

In fact, after they returned to Yaxing, they were also a little nervous.

It stands to reason that he has done so many things today, Wang Yihe has every reason to call him for questioning, and they are not sure that Wang Yihe will definitely remain neutral or lean to his side, but until dark, there is still no movement on the official side, which shows that Wang Yihe was really frightened by Guo Dan.

Guo smiled lightly: "No one wants to see outsiders fighting in their own homes, because no matter who wins or loses, they must be a loser." ”

Aunt Xu said: "It's a pity that Wang Yiyu can't represent everyone, there are many powerful people in Nanzhili, and they are deep-rooted, and your actions today will undoubtedly anger them, this battle has just begun." ”

Guo Dan asked, "What does Madam think they will do next?" ”

Aunt Xu pondered for a while, shook her head and said: "It's really hard to say, the best case is that they continue to find a way to put pressure on Wang Yiju, or try to use the authority of the government to deal with us, so that we can still deal with them, and the worst case scenario is that they will do everything against us, which is unguardable." ”

Guo Dan nodded, and said: "But this is not a game of chess, if you take a step, you have to wait for the other party to take a step, and then you can take the next step, I have asked Kou Yi to ask those big landlords to come tomorrow to discuss cooperation matters, which also involves some powerful people, as long as I can sign a long-term cooperation contract with them and give them enough benefits, then they will naturally not oppose me." ”

At the end of the day, it's all about the rhythm.

He wants to give full play to the power of capital, which is why he has to deal with those salt merchants as soon as he comes up, salt merchants are also merchants in the end, and he expects to use capital to fire this first shot, so that this battle can be carried out in his rhythm.

......

Three watches.

The office of the tooth shop is lit by candlelight, where are the capitalists, there is 996!

But the capitalists are working overtime alone, and even Kou Yi has already gone to rest, but Guo Dan is the only one sitting inside, checking the information of those big landlords and wealthy businessmen, after all, he will negotiate with these people next, and this involves the supply of armaments, he must be cautious.

Don't look at his usual negotiations, he is confident, full of self-confidence, and has been able to succeed repeatedly, but in fact, all this is not based on talent, but on hard work.

Suddenly, there was a burst of aroma outside, Guo Dan subconsciously shook his nose and looked up at the door.

Squeak.

When the door opened, I saw Aunt Xu walking in with the maid Ning Dong, who was holding a tray with both hands, a soup cup and a bowl on the tray.

"I've watched it for so long, let's take a rest first, I let Ning Dong cook a bowl of ginseng soup." Aunt Xu said with concern.

"I'm a little hungry when you say that." Guo Dan put down the information, came to the sofa and sat down, Ning Dong hurriedly served a bowl for him, smelling the strong aroma, Guo Dan drank the whole cup of ginseng soup cleanly like a wind, and leaned back on the sofa, "Whew!" It's so comfortable. ”

Ning Dong put away the dishes and chopsticks and walked out.

"Give."

At this time, Aunt Xu handed over another cup of tea.

Guo Dan drank several sips in a row, only to feel refreshed, and suddenly said to Aunt Xu: "Madam, what is the mystery of your tea, since you drink the tea you brewed, the tea made by others can't be eaten at all." ”

Aunt Xu smiled lightly: "Don't say these flattering words, I won't eat you." ”

Guo Dan glanced at it, suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled her to sit on his lap, gently hugged her, and asked with a smile: "Then I don't know which set Madame eats me?" ”

Aunt Xu pondered for a while, and replied very seriously: "I think it should be your attitude towards your career, although you have thousands of family wealth, you have never stayed for a moment, to covet pleasure, although you .....!" ”

At this point, her red lips suddenly closed.

Guo smiled lightly: "Although I have two beautiful wives of the country, I have not been immersed in women. ”

Aunt Xu was silent.

At the beginning, Xu Mengxi disappointed her the most, that is, she was too conservative, she was not self-motivated, she stopped at Taifu Temple, and finally did not enter the power center of the cabinet, which shows that she admires the kind of self-motivated, ambitious, and not afraid of difficulties, and keeps forging ahead.

Guo Dan sighed again: "Originally, this should have been the time when our husband and wife were like glue, but I was sitting here, looking at those boring materials, alas, .....! ”

This is already in the same bed, and their relationship should have made a further breakthrough, but unfortunately he has been working until three or four watches in the past two days, and this mind is also on work, of course, he doesn't want to take Aunt Xu's first time in a hurry.

Aunt Xu smiled, "That's why you were able to defeat them. ”

"Isn't Madame going to give me some encouragement?" Guo Dan winked at Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu's skillful face was slightly red, but she looked even more delicate.

It's better to do it yourself. Guo Dan poked his head over, and when he was about to kiss Fang Ze, someone suddenly came outside the door: "Consultant Guo, are you inside?" ”

It was Li Hu's voice.

Aunt Xu subconsciously stood up.

Damn it! Guo Dan couldn't help but curse secretly, and asked in an unhappy tone: "What's the matter?" ”

Li Hu outside the door said: "Consultant Guo, something happened." ”

"So fast?"

Aunt Xu couldn't help but open her beautiful eyes, and glanced at Guo Dan again, and a sense of ominous premonition arose.

......

I saw more than 30 guards holding torches, illuminating the street in front of Yinuo Yaxing.

And in the midst of them stood a horse, constantly kicking and beating its front hooves, and yet, behind this horse, there was a corpse in tow.

"The horse suddenly ran over and was stopped by our people, never thinking that there was a corpse dragging behind it."

Li Hu reported to Guo Danyu.

Guo Dan glanced at the corpse slightly, almost didn't spit it out, and quickly looked away.

"What's wrong?"

When he saw the corpse, he first screamed in fright, and his soul was scattered, but suddenly he felt that the corpse looked a little familiar, and he mustered up the courage to take a step forward, and immediately pointed to the corpse and said, "This is not... Sheet... Zhang Binghuai. ”

This corpse is Zhang Binghuai, who has a good relationship with Yinuo Yaxing.

Aunt Xu turned her head to look at Guo Dan and said, "Now we are in trouble." ”
