Chapter 690: I'm a political amateur, who am I afraid of?
It's not easy to say!
Since Guo Dan contracted Weihui Mansion, in their opinion, it has always been smooth sailing, they completely ignore that in fact, in the past two years, the harvest has not been very good, and the ministers have also chosen not to mention it, except for slapping themselves in the face, it is really useless.
They are looking forward to accidents in Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion.
This grandfather sued grandma, but it can be regarded as a pan.
This has to be a big deal!
Otherwise, how can you be worthy of those colleagues who lost their jobs because of Guo Dan.
Many ministers echoed Yang Mingshen and criticized Guo Dan for failing to govern Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, so that there was a flood.
They also have a certain truth, not to say that they will spray when they open their mouths, because Guo Dan's taxes to the imperial court have deducted a lot of expenses, such as post station expenses, government expenses, and water conservancy money.
You deduct so much money every year for water conservancy construction, but in the end there is a flood, so you can prove that the money was misappropriated by you, and you did not use it to build water conservancy.
This long gun and short artillery are bombarded in turns.
Wanli must be fair in this matter, and he can't favor Guo Dan on the surface, after all, he still has to rely on officials to govern the place, and asked Guo Dan: "Guo Dan, what is your explanation?" ”
Guo Dan said: "Back to Your Majesty, why do you want to deduct the money for water conservancy construction, it is because floods have often occurred in previous years, and if you use this to demonstrate the embezzlement of public funds by the grass people, it will be unfair to the grass people."
The imperial court can send officials to investigate, the grass people have always been very obedient to the contract, there are no ulterior secrets, so the grass people also hope that the court can abide by the contract and exempt Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion from certain taxes. ”
"Ridiculous!"
Song Jingsheng said: "Not to mention that this matter has not yet been clarified, just say that you make so much money from Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion every year, and the court asks you to pay a little more, and you don't agree. ”
Guo Dan said: "The contract did not let the grass people pay more money to the court." ”
Yang Ming snorted deeply: "I have always said that the contract is unfair, this is really unreasonable." ”
Guo Dan wowed: "Scholar Yang, you didn't say it when you signed it, you only said it now, it's ......!" ”
Yang Ming said shamelessly: "That's because Your Majesty didn't let the old man participate in it." ”
Wanli glanced at the old man fiercely, and wondered in his heart, how did the old man mention the princess last time, alas... Let him dodge a board.
For example, Li Zhi is now in the ass raising.
Otherwise, it will be even more lively today.
Wanli suddenly looked at Shen Shixing, who had been silent, and said, "Shen Shoufu, what do you think?" ”
Shen Shixing didn't know that Wanli's careful thinking was to let himself help him break the siege, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that disaster relief should be the main thing at present, and these things will be discussed when the disaster passes." ”
After hearing this, Wanli was still a little unwilling in his heart, all the money was taken out, what if you didn't make up for it by then.
Of course, he wants the state treasury to give a subsidy!
Don't you know that Yang Mingshen and others are also very unhappy about this.
Yang Mingshen said: "Lord Shoufu, you are really taking the lives of Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion as a child's play!" Since ancient times, it has been the government to provide disaster relief, Guo Dan has never done this, this is a little careless, thousands of people may lose their lives. ”
Shen Shi's behavior was difficult: "I didn't say that Guo Dan would go to disaster relief. ”
"It seems that Shen Shoufu thinks the same as Xiaguan."
Yang Mingshen immediately said to Wanli: "Your Majesty, the old minister suggests that officials be sent to Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion immediately to deal with disaster relief affairs. ”
Did I mean that? Shen Shixing is really dumb and eats coptis, and he can't say anything about his suffering!
You stinky old man, you actually play doves with me to occupy the magpie's nest. Guo Dan couldn't help but curse secretly.
This trick is really too yin, it is said to be disaster relief, but once the officials are stationed in Kaifeng and Weihui, then all the systems established locally will be destroyed, and first of all, the three courts will be completely useless, after all, they are the people, not officials, there are officials, of course they listen to officials.
And this disaster relief is not a matter of one or two days, and it is not surprising that it will drag on for a year, and the people will have to be resettled in the future, so Guo Danke will not have to play.
"Scholar Yang really thinks about the grass people."
Guo Dan smiled and said: "The grass people have not contracted the state government, but they are also very successful, as far as I know, the annual tax money belongs to our Weihui Mansion to pay the most punctual and not a penny." Now that I have encountered this flood for the first time, I wonder why Scholar Yang said that the grass people could not go to the disaster relief? ”
Yang Mingshen immediately said: "The official has never said that you can't provide disaster relief, the old man is saying that you have never encountered this situation, maybe you can do a good job, but if you don't do it well, the consequences can be unimaginable, throughout the ages, how many civil unrest are caused by disaster relief, and the court must not take risks because of this." ”
Many ministers nodded.
Among them were many neutrals, such as Song Qi, the head of the household, and even Wang Xijue and others.
If you can't do it well, the risk is not something you can bear, but the state can bear it, and you can't show any proof, why should we believe you.
These old foxes are really hard to deal with. Guo Dan was depressed to death, he always wanted to pull money away, but Shen Shixing's words made his trick invalid, about tax exemption, wait until this matter is over, and at present, it is mainly disaster relief.
If you want to continue to talk about that, you really can't say it.
Guo Dan suddenly remembered a general election in the lighthouse country, and said in his heart, yes, what am I afraid of this kind of thing, it is they who should be afraid! said with a smile: "Scholar Yang also said that throughout the ages, how many civil unrest have come from disaster relief, but in the past, officials were in disaster relief, that is to say, officials often provided disaster relief. And as far as the grass people know, it's not that they are incompetent, but that they are very greedy and despicable, and they are even greedy for money to help the people, and they are simply inferior to pigs and dogs. ”
A scholar immediately became angry, "Who are you scolding?" ”
The rest of the officials also glared angrily.
This can't be said to be insinuation, just pointing at our nose and scolding.
Guo smiled lightly: "The grass people are scolding those corrupt officials, shouldn't they be scolded?" The grass people don't know why the adults are so angry, is it ......? ”
"You have to be presumptuous here."
Yang Ming scolded deeply.
Guo smiled lightly: "The grass people are just talking about the matter, about the officials taking advantage of the disaster to embezzle and take bribes, it is really everywhere, and the number can not be counted, on the other hand, the grass people, yes, the grass people have never encountered this situation, but it is enough to show that the grass people have never failed."
The grass people dare to say it again, now Kaifeng Mansion and Weihui Mansion are all grass people contracting, if the imperial court sends officials to intervene, if this messes up, then the grass people will really not be able to tell. ”
He has no experience, but he also has no stains, the stains of officials' disaster relief, which are really too many to count.
It can even be said that Guo Dan closed his eyes, came as soon as he opened his mouth, and made up nonsense, he could say that he was right.
Wanli nodded and said, "What Guo Dan said is not unreasonable." ”
What is the reason, you are biased towards him.
Many ministers muttered to themselves.
Song Jingsheng said: "What if you fail? ”
Want to yin me? You're too contemptuous of people. Guo Dan said: "Lord Shilang, we must first define a standard of failure, and we can't say that dying a person is also a failure. The grass people think that we can sum up the losses caused by the natural disasters that we have encountered in the past few years, and then take an average, if I can't reach this average, then even if I fail, I have achieved, naturally I can't be regarded as a failure, at least I am better than half of the officials. ”
I thought to myself, in terms of your efficiency, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that even half of the officials can't compare.
Song Jingsheng was embarrassed, it was okay in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but the further back it was, it was really bad, and this average was really not high.
But he can't say that making all the officials of Guo Dan strong, this seems to be another slap in the face.
Wanli nodded and said, "I think this is also very fair, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?" ”
Song Jingsheng said helplessly: "Your Majesty, it's okay to do this, but the imperial court must also send someone to investigate the cause of the flood." ”
Wanli hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who do you think is more appropriate?" ”
According to the rules and regulations, it is indeed necessary to find out the reason, and Wanli is not easy to refuse, but if Li Zhi and them are sent to investigate, then forget it.
Fang Fengshi suddenly stood up and said: "The old minister recommended Jiang Zhishi, Jiang Zhishi has been in Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion for a period of time, and he knows the situation over there better. ”
Yang Mingshen glanced at Fang Fengshi, opened his mouth, and still didn't make a sound.
Now they don't want to send Jiang Yinglan to go, because Jiang Yinglan is too upright, he will tell the truth, and he won't add oil and vinegar, but Fang Fengshi is the leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate after all, and he is more qualified than them to recommend.
In fact, Wanli didn't want Jiang Yinglan to go, he wanted to send the eunuch to go, for the same reason as Yang Mingshen and them, but he didn't know what to say, so he nodded and said: "Okay, just send Jiang to investigate the cause of this flood in advance." ”
After the meeting, Wanli immediately called Guo Dan to the office.
"Do you know what's going on over there?"
Without waiting for Guo Dan to salute, Wanli asked directly.
Guo Dan hurriedly said: "I don't know the specific situation, but the situation may be better than what the lowly position said." ”
Wanli said: "In that case, why did you say that?" ”
Guo Dan immediately explained the reason.
"I see."
Wanli nodded.
Guo Dan said again: "Your Majesty, although it didn't work, Your Majesty can also use this trick to let those ministers focus on this matter." ”
Wanli said aggrievedly: "The contract is written like this, it should be so, and now it has become an excuse." ”
Guo Dan was speechless.
The problem is that the court is not abiding by the contract at all, but is afraid of your fat house, otherwise, the contract would have been torn to shreds.
If the contract is useful, then the officials need to do something.
Wanli asked again: "Then do you know how much you will lose this time?" ”
Guo Dan said: "I don't know about the humble position for the time being, but the loss is unavoidable." ”
Wanli suddenly felt a burst of angina, how he hoped that Guo Dan could pat his chest and tell him as before, Your Majesty, please rest assured, I can turn losses into profits.
This is a natural disaster!
Unless it's God, how can you turn a loss?
Guo Dan said again: "Your Majesty, don't be sad about this, now that the overseas plan has been launched, that is the most important thing, and that little loss is nothing at all." ”
Wanli's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, that's the big head over there. The face softened a little, but the smile was absolutely none, after all, it was a loss, not making money, for goods, he was distressed by the loss of one or two, and said: "You must do a good job in this matter, but there must be no negligence, otherwise, those people will not let you go." ”
Guo Dan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, your humble position will not disappoint Your Majesty." ”
