Chapter 441: The Most Painful Choice

Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

Wanli couldn't help but laugh happily, and glanced at Guo Dan approvingly, "Guo Dan, you are still clever, and you have thought of a wonderful way to do it this time." ”

He was dizzy for a while, and some people dared to grab Lao Tzu's cake, I'm afraid that I'm not tired of it, this money has been earned by you, how can I raise this fat body?

So he forgot that Marseille was nominally Guo Dankai, but not his.

He can't have anything to do with Marseille.

And now in this situation, if Guo Dan wants to go to Nanjing to open a horse race, the difficulty is conceivable, Nanjing is the capital after all, it is not an ordinary place, it will be hindered in every way, in the end, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, so borrowing the corpse to return the soul or backdoor listing is undoubtedly the safest way.

Anyway, what they want is money, and besides, Marseille will not increase any prestige.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

Guo Dan first bowed, and then said: "But Your Majesty, we may have to discuss this matter carefully, how to operate it, and we must not let those ministers know, otherwise, this will be a failure, or even more than worth the loss." ”

"I can save it. Hehe. ”

Wanli nodded understandingly, his eyes flashed rapidly, and he looked extremely excited.

He has fallen in love with the feeling of cooperating with Guo Dan to pit those ministers, because he used to cooperate with others to make money, and every time he was scolded half to death, because those collaborators were eunuchs, and they were sure that your emperor gave orders, but with Guo Dan, not only would he not be scolded, but he could also pretend to be forced, which could really be said to be standing and earning money.

Who says you can't have both?

It's a wonderful feeling.

It's also worth revisiting.

However, this has to be considered in the long run, and there is no rush for this time and a half anyway.

"By the way, how did you come back quickly, how did you handle the affairs of Kaifeng, Huaiqing, and Zhangde, did we make money or lose money?" Wanli asked suddenly.

Wow... You are too explicit, and you also express your concern for the people of Kaifeng! If you open your mouth, you will make a profit, and you are really a businessman more than me... No, then Dong Ping must have reported to him, otherwise, how would he know that I arrived in the capital today, but Dong Ping doesn't know whether I made money or lost it.

Guo Dan hurriedly patted his horse and said: "With His Majesty's holy light, you don't need to do anything at all, you can easily earn a sum of money with blood." ”

"Blood-earned?"

Wanli really fell in love with this word at first sight, and was immediately excited: "I don't know what kind of blood earning method?" Tell me in detail. ”

When it comes to money, he is absolutely patient.

Guo Dan first presented an account, and then reported the general situation of Kaifeng Mansion to Wanli.

Wanli was fascinated by what he heard, especially when he heard the process of the auction, it was really boiling with beast blood, as if he was there.

It's so exciting.

After Guo Dan finished reporting, he said truthfully: "It's just that due to too much loss last year, we can only use this year's surplus to make up for last year, but as long as we get through this year, we predict that our profit in Sanfu next year will reach between 200,000 taels and 300,000 taels, and it will continue to increase in the next three years." ”

"Good, good! You did a very good job. ”

Wanli was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, which was about to catch up with his year's salary.

Now he is convinced of Guo Dan's college economy.

Not only does this stuff make money, but it also leads to the right thoughts.

"Your Majesty, this is just a small profit."

Guo Dan smiled and continued: "In fact, the biggest benefit still comes from those vassal kings, if the overseas plan goes well, the vassal king will bring us millions of taels of income, which is not counting overseas income." ”

"On... Millions of taels. Wanli immediately took a breath of cold air.

Their strategy was to concentrate the property in the name of the vassal king first, so that the minister would not be able to say anything, and then move the vassal king overseas step by step, and then take the vassal king's property for himself.

But after the excitement, Wanli couldn't help but feel sad again, and said melancholy: "So many officials manage Kaifeng Mansion, but they still lose so much, and you go alone, single-handedly, not only can make up for the losses caused by them, but also make so much money, what is the court raising them for?" ”

Guo Dan immediately turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the lowly position can make money is mainly because of the private college, and the state government can no longer contract the lowly position, and the lowly position is too busy now." ”

Wanli glanced at him, and smiled, as if to say, don't be modest, you kid, when you contracted Weihui Mansion, you also said the same, but isn't it good now?

Guo Dan was bitter in his heart, and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the lowly position is really too busy, and there are more and more people who are offended by the lowly position. ”

"Is it easy for you to contract the state capital? Rest assured, I have no intention of letting you continue to contract the state capital. ”

Wanli comforted Guo Dan very perfunctorily, and he still had to let Guo Dan go when he had the chance, and said: "As for Huang Daxiao and them playing to impeach you, you don't have to worry, I won't believe them, and he himself has a confession." ”

"Your Majesty."

Guo Dan shouted, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, there is a matter of humble duty that I almost forgot to report to Your Majesty." Humble... When he was in Weihui Mansion, he was forced to have no choice but to falsely convey the holy will and ask His Majesty to spare his life. ”

Saying that, he pounced and knelt on the ground.

"False Divine Will?"

Wanli was also startled and asked, "When did you fake the holy will?" ”

Guo Dan hurriedly told Wanli about Li Rusong, and of course, he did not mention the issue of firearms production.

"Oh, that's what you said."

Wanli nodded with a smile and said: "Actually, that's what I mean, but I think you don't understand this, and it has nothing to do with you, so I didn't tell you in detail, I never thought that you were crooked, not only did you have no fault, but also meritorious." ”

Speaking of this, he sighed and said: "Although Li Rusong is talented, he is arrogant, and it is difficult to get along with his colleagues no matter where he is, and I am also very troubled by this. Get up and speak, get up and speak. Hehe. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing your life."

Guo Dan stood up, in fact, where did he have this ability, this was all told to him secretly by Zhang Cheng, it can be seen that Wanli looked calm and knew that Wanli must have known about this a long time ago. I can't help but secretly rejoice that I didn't pretend to be smart and hide this matter.

Wanli coughed lightly, and said: "Guo Dan, you have made such a great contribution this time, but I can't make you an official, if you reward money, you are not short of money, I don't know how to reward you, you say it yourself, what do you want?" I try to satisfy you. ”

Who said that I am not short of money, but you iron rooster is definitely not willing to reward me with a lot of money, but you can't always do this, it makes me feel like a tool man, which is also not in line with commercial principles, no, this time you must not be cheap this fat house. Well? Fat house?

Guo Dan's heart suddenly moved, and said: "Your Majesty's kindness to your humble duties is like a mountain, and no matter how many things you do for Your Majesty, it will be difficult to repay your humble duties." Speaking of this, he changed his words, "But there is really a small request for the humble position, and I hope that Your Majesty can agree to the humble position." ”

As soon as Wanli heard it, he knew that this guy was not asking for money, in fact, he was not unwilling to give some bounty, he often gave money to the minister, but the problem was that Guo Dan was too rich, how much should he give, so that Guo Dan could feel the majesty of Longen, and asked: "What is the request, but it doesn't hurt if you say it." ”

Guo Dan said: "Back to Your Majesty, in fact, one of the main reasons for rushing back to the capital as soon as possible is that the new racecourse area is about to open in the near future. ”

Wanli was immediately stunned, he never expected Guo Dan to make such a request, and said in astonishment: "You said let me go to the new horse racing area?" I am the Son of Heaven, but I can't leave the palace casually. ”

Guo Dan hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the lowly position is actually doing this for the sake of Marseille, since the Tianjin Wei fire case, that Marseille has been suspended until now, and the lowly position is not sure now, which can ensure that the Marseille opening will be as sensational as before."

Besides, now that many people have gone to Kaifeng Prefecture, if the new horse racing area is not opened well, we may face losses.

In addition, the increase in equestrian competitions was also to attract the dignitaries and their families to watch, and if His Majesty could be there in person, then it would be safe and sound. ”

"You don't seem to be unreasonable!"

Having said that, Wanli seemed very entangled, and it was indeed a little difficult for him to let him out of the palace with a fat house.

He even worshiped his ancestors, but he was too far away and had too many things to do.

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can go to the Royal Horse Farm to rest and rest first, and then just come by the way to have a look, as long as Your Majesty can come, I think that this income may be doubled." ”

"Really?"

Wanli asked with wide eyes.

"It's a must!"

Guo Dan said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and this time I don't want to talk about it." ”

This is even more tangled when Wanli says this.

Money and the house are his favorites.

Wanli was thinking about it left and right, and he was so entangled that he even felt a little headache, and waved his hand and said, "Let me think about this matter again." ”

Wow! I helped you make so much money, and you didn't even agree to this request from me, be a person, no, I have to fool you out.

Guo Dan really didn't want to fix Wanli, because he was not here at the most critical time when the new racecourse area opened, which made him feel a little less confident, after all, he didn't do enough publicity.

If Wanli came in person, it would really be better than all publicity.

In this ancient world, which spokesperson could compare to the emperor.

Xu Jirong?

Get out of the way!
