Because Guo Dan's marriage contract with Aunt Xu was only confirmed yesterday, most people don't know about it.

But for Cao Ke, this surprise is really extraordinary.

In the eyes of many people, Aunt Xu is simply unconquerable, you see how long Zhu Yaoyuan has been here, and the scandal between her and Guo Dan has spread all over the sky, based on her rejection of so many sons and scholars, everyone now thinks that Zhu Yaoyuan is Guo Dan's person, but Aunt Xu has been here for so long, and often follows Guo Dan in and out of pairs, that is, those who don't know her, only think that she is Guo Dan's wife, but there are few scandals about them in Shilin.

After all, Aunt Xu had seen the world, and although she had already drawn one hundred and eight circles in her heart to curse Guo Dan, she kept that calm smile on her face, "Dean Cao, you should call him Advisor Xu, or Xu Dan, because the financial advisor of the Ming Dynasty has already joined our Xu family." ”

Cao Ke listened even more confused.

This relationship is so messy!

Xu Dan? You want to be beautiful, I have a marriage contract with you, but you don't need to change your surname, if you really want to call it, it should be called Kou Dan, wow, Kou Dan, what the hell is this. It's still Mrs. Guo who sounds good. Guo Dan snorted and said: "Let's not worry about this title, whether it is the Xu family, the Kou family, or the Guo family, anyway, there are three people sleeping... Ahem, live together, family. Dean Cao, please be seated. ”

As he spoke, he pushed his hand to his desk.

"Huh? Oh! Thanks a lot. ”

Cao Ke came to the desk in a cold sweat, but waited until Guo Dan sat down before sitting down, with a humble gentleman's style.

Aunt Xu and Kou Zhuansha were still sitting on the sofa, and Aunt Xu whispered to Kou Zhuansha: "You don't care about him, nonsense." ”

Kou Zhuansha said: "I didn't say anything about him, but I just can't control it, big sister in the future, you take care of him." ”

Aunt Xu has the heart to die.

"I don't know if Dean Cao came to my tooth shop, do you have any advice?" Guo Dan asked.

To be honest, he really doesn't know Cao Ke very well.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Cao Ke bowed his hand and said, "I came here today to ask Advisor Guo for advice. ”

"Asking for advice?" Guo Dan handed over two inquiring glances.

"Yes." Cao Ke nodded, and said, "I heard that Weihui Mansion plans to subsidize agricultural taxes recently, I wonder if there is such a thing?" ”

When Guo Dan heard this, he couldn't help but look at Aunt Xu, and it happened that Aunt Xu also looked at him.

Well. There is electricity.

Therefore, Aunt Xu immediately turned a white eye and reflected the power.

Guo Dan's embarrassed gaze was closed, and he nodded: "Yes, I plan to go to Weihui Mansion to arrange it in the near future." ”

The key subsidy for agricultural taxes has been set before Guo Dan went to Ningxia, but this matter is more critical and has to be arranged by Guo Dan himself.

Cao Ke asked: "This is really a big news, since ancient times, this has only increased agricultural taxes, but there is no subsidy for agricultural taxes." ”

Wow! What are you pretending to be, you study me every day, don't you know? Guo Dan said very simply: "Because Weihui Mansion has a lot of commercial taxes, and agriculture is the foundation of commerce, so subsidizing agriculture and promoting agricultural development can make commerce to a higher level, and our Weihui Mansion's agricultural tax is actually not much." ”

"I see."

Cao Ke nodded, pondered a little, and asked, "I would like to ask, I wonder if Advisor Guo's responsibilities also include providing some help to our Senate?" ”

Are you really here for advice? Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Within the scope of his ability, of course it is included." ”

"That's great."

Cao Ke stood up, unfolded one of the volumes of information, and said: "This is about the taxes on salt, tea, and wine, and I hope that Consultant Guo will help us calculate whether there is room for an increase in these three types of taxes." ”

Guo Dan glanced at the paper and said, "I can only give you an answer based on the data you provide, but only the data you gave me, not necessarily the correct answer in the real sense." ”

"Of course, of course."

Cao Ke nodded, got up and bowed: "Then there is Consultant Lao Guo." ”

Guo Dan got up and saluted back, and said with a smile: "This is my business." ”

Cao Ke bowed his hand slightly: "If Consultant Guo has no other problems, I will leave first, and I hope that Consultant Guo will have a lot of Haihan if you are disturbed." ”

Guo Dan got up and said, "I'll send Dean Cao." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Cao Ke said again: "I took the liberty to come here to worry about Consultant Guo, and I didn't want to go, how dare I ask Consultant Guo to send him off." ”

As he spoke, he said to Kou Zhuansha and Aunt Xu, "The two... Madame, I have taken my leave. ”

With that, he hurried out, and when he spoke of his wife, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

Guo Dan sent it to the door, and asked Xiaoxiao to send it on his behalf, so he returned to the sofa and sat down, and said to Aunt Xu: "What does Madame think?" ”

It's really addictive.

If it was something else, Aunt Xu probably wouldn't pay attention to him, but this matter was what she was most concerned about, if it weren't for that, she wouldn't have come here today to find embarrassment, and asked rhetorically: "Don't you take a look at the information he sent first?" ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said contemptuously: "I am very strict about data, so I never refer to the statistics of my dynasty literati, which is an insult to data." ”

The literati despise mathematics so much, and they will certainly not be very rigorous, how can Guo Dan believe that the statistics of the literati should not like each other.

Aunt Xu couldn't say anything, after all, this came out of his mouth, and no one dared to question it, in terms of data, no one in the world was at the same level as him, and said: "Obviously, Cao Ke also thought that only by reducing taxes can we get the support of the people and the new policy can be implemented." In addition, he mentioned before that Weihui Mansion subsidized agricultural taxes, obviously hoping to supplement agricultural taxes by increasing income from salt tax, wine tax, tea tax and so on. ”

Kou Zhuansha frowned and said, "But if you want to increase the tax on salt, wine and tea, it's not so easy." ”

Aunt Xu nodded and smiled: "Liansha is right, don't talk about Cao Ke, even if the cabinet comes to find a way, it can't be done, but for your husband, it's ......!" ”

"Ahem, pay attention, I'm also your husband now."

Guo Dan was very dissatisfied.

Aunt Xu was about to be driven crazy by him, and said, "Is this important, or is it important to get down to business?" ”

Guo Dan said seriously: "Of course this is important, the so-called outside must first be at ease, if the family is not harmonious, you can still expect me to go to heaven and not succeed, and then again, this is a matter of the Senate, I am just providing friendship and help." ”

Aunt Xu took a deep breath, that gamble had become the most regrettable thing in her life, even more than when she ran away from home.

It's really eye-catching! Guo Dan's eyes flashed very hiddenly, and he was secretly proud in his heart, now it all belongs to me, wahahaha.

Kou Liansha suddenly said: "Can you not be poor, don't forget what you promised me." ”

Also, I still have to give her some respect in front of my wife, after all, she is also my wife's mentor, but, but this teacher and student are my wife, and this relationship is really... Yo West! Guo Dan said: "Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about business, talk about business." ”

As he spoke, he still didn't forget to say to Aunt Xu full of temptation: "Only Mrs. can restrain me in this world." ”

Aunt Xu said angrily: "Now that I'm helping you, not you, why are you saying as if I have a request for you." ”

Guo Dan blinked and said, "It seems to be the same." What did you just say, and what does it mean for me? ”

Endure! Endure! Endure! Aunt Xu silently recited "forbearance" three times, suppressing her anger, and then said, "For you, it is possible to do it." ”

Guo Dan asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Aunt Xu said: "Take salt as an example, in the past, from salt making to salt selling, it was under the control of the imperial court, but with the corruption of the officials, coupled with the fighting between the salt merchants, the control of the imperial court is becoming weaker and weaker, and the power of the salt merchants is increasing day by day.

But this is a good situation for you, after all, dealing with merchants is what you are good at, coupled with the lack of imperial control, you can play to your heart's content, and you still control the two large salt-producing regions of Ningxia and Banzhou.

Therefore, I think Cao Ke means that it is for you to find a way to monopolize the salt ....... ”

"Then he'll charge me more salt taxes!" Guo Dan interrupted Aunt Xu's words.

Aunt Xu nodded and said, "It should be like this." ”

Cao Ke really plans to do so, and in the current situation, if you want to continue to promote reform, you can only have a chance to reduce taxes, but tax cuts are obviously not conducive to national development, and it is also impossible.

Wei Huifu gave him a hint, that is, to take the commercial tax to make up the agricultural tax.

He thought of the three major taxes of salt, tea, and wine, but the problem was that he couldn't do it, this Ming Dynasty court was a joke, he wanted to control everything, but he didn't have the ability, from the emperor to the minister, how could he know what macroeconomic control, anyway, the more he adjusted, the more chaotic it became.

He could only find a way to find Guo Dan.

"This leek cultivation technique is really much better than mine." Guo Dan snorted, "It's just that he treats me as a tool, lets me monopolize salt, and then asks me to pay more taxes to the imperial court, so as to lay the foundation for his tax reduction policy, it's really beautiful!" ”

Aunt Xu wondered: "At the beginning, Cao Ke just proposed to spread the land into the mu, and this exemption from privileges, didn't you mention it?" It was you who made it difficult for him, and it was about His Majesty's authority, and if the reform failed, you would be able to stay out of it. ”

“......！”

It seems that it was also oh, I brought it up, and they were wiping my ass for me. Guo Dan snorted: "I heard people say that you have always helped relatives and don't help you, how can you help outsiders say this about your husband?" ”

Aunt Xu said: "That means that you admit that you are not reasonable? ”

"That's not the point."

Guo Dan muttered humbly, and then said to Kou Zhuansha: "Madame is facing me." ”

Kou Liansha glanced at him: "I just don't know much about this, so I can't interject." ”

Guo Dan scratched his sideburns and shouted outside: "Little! ”

Xiaoxiao walked in and said, "What does the general manager command?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Let Fangchen bring the financial statements of the household department last year." ”

"Yes."
