Chapter 243: Darkness Chen Cang

After Zhou Feng and the others left, Kou Zhuansha walked out.

She looked at the door and said to herself, "I can't believe they would agree so easily." ”

Guo Dan asked rhetorically: "Then the lady said, why don't they agree easily?" ”

Kou Liansha pondered for a while, and then said cautiously: "This is not a money-making deal, and the other party is the imperial court, even if the contract is made, the risk is still not small, they should consider it carefully." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "But I put forward the concept of OEM, even if they lose money, they will be willing to try." ”

When Kou Liansha heard this, she couldn't help but open her eyes, "Is it because of ......." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said: "Since silk can find OEM, the rest of the industry can also be the same, in fact, I just raised that problem, they have all encountered it, if they can succeed, they will all benefit from it." ”

Kou Zhuan Sha asked again: "Of course, this OEM production is so magical?" ”

Guo Dan said: "It's not magical, at most, it can only make my Ming production go to the next level." ”

Kou Zhuansha was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Guo Dan, "Nonsense." ”

Guo Dan just smiled.

There was a hint of suspicion in Kou Liansha's eyes, and she thought, is it true?

Of course it's true, as long as it's well run, this foundry factory can activate the productivity of the entire Daming, which is really not an exaggeration at all.

However, if he could, Guo Dan didn't want to do it himself, because he didn't do this business, he preferred the work of the tooth shop, playing with money every day, but there was no way, it couldn't be produced, and there was nothing to buy and sell for him, productivity was always the basis of capital.

He is the only one who can do this.

At the same time as he finalized it, the court also reviewed it, and the two sides finally signed the contract.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's done.

Then the next thing is production, Kou Yi is also going very smoothly in Tianjin Wei, it is difficult not to go smoothly with money, and successfully acquired twelve textile workshops, which sounds like a lot, but in terms of the current scale, it is actually not a lot, Guo Dan's goal is to acquire twenty, he mainly wants people, not the small workshop.

Guo Dan also hurriedly sent tooth people and some craftsmen over to guide them in production.

As for the materials, during this period, Kou Liansha has already been contacted.

This time, no one dared to speculate, buy and sell, and the tea in the homes of the four official teeth was not yet cold.

At the same time, after discussion with the cabinet, it was decided to give it to the Liu family, and let Liu Zongcheng become the manager of the official tooth.

In fact, every line has official teeth, but the cabinet did not discuss seniority this time, but directly chose Liu Zongcheng, this is because Shen Shixing They believe that these official teeth have backers, and it makes little sense to choose from among them, and the Liu family is a private tooth, and there is no big backer in the court, the most critical point is that in fact, many official teeth have participated in the resale of silk, but the Liu family has always been very low-key, and did not do anything out of the ordinary during the period.

At the same time, he only chose the Liu family, and did not say that he would choose four official teeth to fill it, this is because they hoped to enhance the power of the leader of the official teeth to specifically balance Guo Dan, and now Guo Dan is too strong.

It can be seen that Guo Dan is not in their consideration at all, although the strength of the Kou family is already the first in the capital, but many officials believe that if Guo Dan is given more power, it will be more difficult to control him, and it should be restricted, and it is the most appropriate way for the tooth people to check and balance the tooth people.

The Yanagi family.

"Grandpa, now that we have finally become officials, why are you not happy at all?"

Liu Chengbian saw that Liu Zongcheng was holding the tooth sticker, and there was no joy on his face, so he couldn't help asking.

Liu Zongcheng sighed and said, "I can understand now why Guo Dan wanted to cooperate with the old man in the first place, because he knew early on that no matter what, he couldn't become an official, so he found us." Although he didn't become an official, he helped us up, and the old man didn't know whether to be happy. ”

Liu Chengyan listened, and his expression looked a little gloomy.

This Guo Dan has not been silent for three years, and he is a blockbuster, and soon, he can't even see Guo Dan's back, and he even avoids meeting Guo Dan now.

Liu Zongcheng glanced at Liu Chengbian, and suddenly realized that he shouldn't show this kind of thought in front of Liu Chengbian, so he raised his head and said, "Chang'er, it was Grandpa's poor consideration at the beginning that caused our Liu family to be trampled under Guo Dan's feet all the time. ”

Liu Chengbian was stunned and hurriedly said: "It's the grandson who is incompetent......" ”

Liu Zongcheng raised his hand and said: "This has nothing to do with you, it was grandpa's misjudgment at the beginning, and he always asked you to learn from Guo Dan, but you are not Guo Dan, his set, don't talk about you, no one can learn, we still have to go our own way, now that we have become official teeth, then we should manage this official tooth well, so that other official teeth will look forward to our Liu family." ”

Liu Chengbian nodded firmly and said, "Grandpa, please rest assured, your grandson will not disappoint grandpa again." ”

At this time, a slave walked in, "Master, the shopkeeper Yu of the piano shop and the butcher shopkeeper of the meat shop are here, saying that they are here to congratulate you, master." ”

Liu Zongcheng showed a smile on his face and said, "Guo Dan, although you are all thanks to you, if you want to treat our Liu family as a puppet, then your calculation is wrong." ”

Today is really a grand occasion in the tooth shop, and almost all the tooth people have come to Liu's house to congratulate, whether it is an official tooth or a private tooth.

Only the Kou family did not send someone to congratulate them, of course, this was ordered by Guo Dan, and he caused this hostile situation, so that the officials of the DPRK and China would support the Liu family.

Kou Shouxin is also very much in favor, he was not happy with Liu Zongcheng before, but now that the Kou family is of such a scale, the Liu family can become an official, it is all arranged by my son-in-law, how can I put the Liu family in my eyes, and Guo Dan is really not available today, he was pulled to the house by Zhu Yihua, the king of Lu, to paint a wedding painting.

Luwang Mansion.

"Princess, are you satisfied?"

Zhu Yihua asked a sixteen-year-old girl with a pretty look on her face.

This girl is officially Princess Lu, Li.

Li glanced at the wedding painting that had just been hung up, his eyes were full of joy, and he saw that the scene in the painting was on the steps in front of the gate of King Lu's Mansion, she was dressed in court clothes, wearing a colorful crown, standing side by side with Zhu Yihua, with a plaque of King Lu's Mansion hanging on her head, but the most important thing was that all the concubines standing behind them were King Lu's concubines.

The lineup is very luxurious.

With such a foil, the demeanor of the hostess is undoubtedly displayed, and there is no doubt that she is also the most beautiful.

"I didn't ask you to invite Zhu Gongzi to paint, presumably they are all laughing at the concubine now." Li said with a red face.

The one who can marry Zhu Yihua is by no means an ordinary woman, she must have received a good education, is knowledgeable, virtuous and virtuous, not the shrew, but the painting is too annoying, absolutely noisy, and Zhu Yihua has to hang at home, so she is so angry, but now she feels embarrassed and seems to be stingy.

"They dare."

Zhu Yihua shook his domineering spirit, and said: "Didn't I tell you, I saw this wedding painting very good that day, and the first thing that came to mind was you, the princess, this is what I made with them earlier, you can rest assured." ”

Li squinted at him, "Really?" ”

"Of course it is."

Zhu Yihua, the old driver, did not change his face, and pointed to the painting again: "Look at them, who can compare with you." ”

Li was even more embarrassed by the praise, and said, "Okay, you go and entertain Zhu Gongzi and Little Uncle, but don't snub them." ”

......

At this time, Guo Dan and Liu Xinmou, Zhu Lizhi, and Xu Jirong were in the garden, watching the plum blossoms in full bloom, but in fact, it was Zhu Lizhi who was really watching, he stood alone in the corner of the wall to paint plums, and Guo Dan was sitting in the pavilion with Liu Xinmou and Xu Jirong drinking and farting.

"Tsk, this Luwang Mansion is really big!"

Guo Dan looked at it a little and couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Xinmou smiled: "You really haven't seen the world, this is just a temporary Luwang Mansion." ”

"Temporary?"

Guo Dan was surprised.

Liu Xin conspired: "Of course it's temporary, don't you know, according to the custom, the prince has to go to the territory to become a vassal, but he can't stay in the capital all the time." ”

Guo Dan thought for a while, nodded and said, "It seems that there is such a thing." ”

The princes of the Ming Dynasty all adopted the captive system, that is, they gave you a piece of land, so that you can enjoy all the glory and wealth inside, just like the pig, you will sleep when you eat, and you will eat when you sleep, don't think about it.

Liu Xinmou said: "King Lu's territory is in Weihui, and the palace there has been built for several years, but it has not been built, which shows how big the scale is. ”

Xu Jirong said angrily: "I've been looking forward to it for many years, if my brother goes over there, let's go out to play, and we also have a place to visit." ”

Liu Xinmou nodded and said, "That's right." ”

"What are you talking about?"

I saw Zhu Yihua walking over proudly.

Guo smiled lightly: "Lord, is the princess still satisfied?" ”

"The princess is very satisfied, hehe, thank you for your hard work." Zhu Yihua said with a smile.

Guo smiled and groaned: "Isn't the prince going to appreciate something?" ”

Zhu Yihua rolled his eyes and said, "I don't have much else in this house, just a lot of women, why don't you reward your two concubines?" ”

Xu Jirong said happily: "I don't have the courage to do it. ”

The corners of Guo Dan's mouth twitched, and he said, "It's still a little uncle, you know me." ”

Xu Jirong said triumphantly: "Then there is no need to say, we are the double fools of the capital." ”

"If you don't want it, then it's no wonder this king." Zhu Yihua smiled shamelessly.

You think you've taken advantage of it, and it's really worth spending this money to invite you and the princess to do publicity. Guo Dan smiled secretly in his heart, and said: "I'm just joking, the prince has helped me so much, where do I dare to ask for a reward." ”

"It's good that you know, by the way, this person and the king have arranged it for you, when will your money be delivered?"

"Little uncle, don't I have some money from you, you can help me get a thousand taels to the prince." Guo Dan suddenly looked at Xu Jirong.

Xu Jirong sighed, and suddenly looked at Zhu Yihua and said: "Brother, you still seem to owe me two thousand taels, count it, you still owe me one thousand taels now, just come today, you can also give me the one thousand taels by the way." ”

Zhu Yihua suddenly felt that he had nothing to love.

.....

In the south of Zhoukou County, Kaifeng Prefecture, there are several small villages, because of the remote location, the road is blocked, so few outsiders come here, but today there is a convoy slowly coming this way, which immediately attracted the attention of nearby villagers.

Everyone gradually gathered at the entrance of the village and stopped the convoy.

An old man with a hunched back and a cane stepped forward and said, "Who are you, what are you doing in my Xiagou Village?" There's no way out here. ”

At the head of the convoy was a middle-aged man in his thirties, who stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said, "We are here to find you." ”

The old man said in a panic: "Find... Looking for us? What are you looking for from us? ”

"I'm going to give you money."

The middle-aged man turned his head and raised his hand.

I saw that the guard escorting the vehicle pulled open the tarpaulin covering the car, and on it were large wooden boxes.

As soon as the box was opened, all the villagers gasped, only to see that the box was full of silver.

They had never seen so much silver in their lives.

The middle-aged man turned around again, "You don't have to farm this year." ”
