Chapter 589: Extreme Pressure

It's still Aunt Xu who knows Guo Dan better.

In fact, Guo Dan's plan to go south was not like this at first, he planned to do it secretly, and when he chatted that day, he suddenly remembered that he was a native of Nanjing.

The Nanjing battlefield was his home turf.

He hated himself!

Ignoring such an important detail.

Now that I think about it, of course I have to put it to good use.

He himself has said several times that every penny he spends has its own interest attribute.

Of course, he never thought it was wrong.

After all, the other party also gets benefits, and they are not cheating people, nor are they deceiving people, this is a win-win situation.

On the first day he returned to his hometown, he threw out thousands of taels to build a college, build an ancestral hall, help the villagers find a livelihood, and entertain the whole township.

It is conceivable that the villagers of Yangzigou will definitely support Guo Dan.

Now who wants to provoke regional disputes, that is no place to stand, Guo Dan is my Nanjing Yangzigou people, and not outsiders, if the gentry of any township want to find trouble with Guo Dan in the form of a local snake, it is looking for death, we are also locals.

At most, the township has to fight with each other, and with Guo Dan's financial blessing, who else does Yangzigou need to be afraid of.

When the pigs and ducks came to the township, Yang Sheng and the others hurriedly arranged for people to prepare a big feast, and the time was urgent!

The folks were really dancing happily.

"Uncle!"

After Yang Sheng and the others were busy, Kou Yi saluted Guo Dan.

Guo smiled lightly: "You did a good job in Nanjing. ”

Kou Yi hurriedly said: "Uncle has won the award, in fact, I... Some time ago, I was afraid that I would ruin my uncle's big event, but fortunately, my uncle sent a message, so I was a little relieved. ”

"Be confident."

Guo Dan patted Kou Yi's arm and said, "Now there are people in Nanjing City who know that I am here." ”

Kou Yi said: "I haven't heard of it yet, but ......!" ”

He looked around at the villagers who were silently looking at Guo Dan in the distance, "I think they will know about it soon." ”

Guo Dan smiled and said, "Then they will definitely be very surprised." ”

Kou Yi said: "I don't know if I'm surprised, but I know that there must be many people who are very distressed now." ”

Guo Dan sighed: "How do you say this?" ”

Kou Yi hurriedly said: "This matter has to start from the end of last year, when the news of the imperial court reform tariff reached Nanjing, many wealthy businessmen hoped to take this opportunity to learn from Weihui Mansion and open some large workshops in the Jiangnan area, at that time there were many people who supported this idea, and after the implementation of the new tariff law, there was a crisis in our Weihui Mansion, and more people supported the workshop to move to Nanjing. ”

Speaking of this, he smiled, "Who knows that this sudden change in the situation, the goods of our Weihui Mansion rushed in all of a sudden, and they were all dumbfounded, not to mention whether they borrowed money or not, this cost is also a problem."

When the new tariff law was just implemented, the price of silk and grain in the whole of Jiangnan was lowered, but now the prices have all risen, and many people are helping us sell grain and silk in Jiangnan, and sell our goods to Jiangnan. This time it must be planted a lot of people! ”

Guo slanted his eyes at Kou Yi, "How do I feel that you are gloating?" ”

Kou Yi's expression froze, and he said embarrassedly: "Uncle, you don't know how they ridiculed my ...... in the first place." ”

"Wait, I didn't say you shouldn't gloat."

Guo Dan shook his head and said: "I just think that your emotions came too early, this is just the beginning, you are so gloating, wait until later, then you will feel bored about what you do, calm down." ”

Kou Yi said stupidly: "This uncle can rest assured, I am already very emotional when you come." ”

"Go, go, that's disgusting."

Guo Dan glared at Kou Yi and asked again, "That's right!" I don't see a suitable place for me and the laymen to live here, have you arranged a place for me to live? ”

"Yes, yes!"

Kou Yi nodded and said, "I bought a small mansion on the edge of Yangzigou, which is only two or three miles away from here. ”

It seems that we really made a lot of money, and we bought it directly. Guo smiled and nodded, "I'm tired." ”

......

Although many people didn't notice that Guo Dan had left Weihui Mansion, there were still some people who knew it at the first time.

And the news soon spread to the capital.

"This kid can be regarded as going to Nanjing, it seems that all this is still under his control."

After hearing this, Wanli breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said to Li Gui: "Immediately summon the factory ministers into the palace, and in addition, tomorrow's cabinet meeting, let Fang also participate in the time." ”

"The slave obeys."

After half an hour, Zhang Whale hurriedly came to the palace.

"Wechen see Your Majesty."

"No courtesy."

Wanli raised his hand and said, "Factory minister, I came to you today because I have an important task to give you, because I recently heard that some ministers in the court are targeting Guo Dan and Wei Hui Mansion everywhere, so that Guo Dan has no choice but to take out one million taels to subsidize Wei Hui Mansion. ”

Zhang Whale was very surprised, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has never heard that they are targeting Guo Dan, but the new tariff law does have disadvantages for Wei Hui Mansion, and this point has also been mentioned to your Majesty." ”

Wanli said: "I am not sure about this matter, so I want you to investigate, I hope that you can find solid evidence when the time comes, which is right and which is wrong, and take the real evidence." ”

He added the latter sentence, which is to let Zhang Whale understand that you don't deceive.

It can be seen that he also knows the darkness of the East Factory.

"Wechen obeys."

After withdrawing from the house, Zhang Whale frowned slightly, and muttered to himself, As soon as Guo Dan went to Nanjing, His Majesty asked for a thorough investigation of the matter, is it ......

He thought for a while, suddenly glanced at the sky, and then walked slowly towards the imperial city.

When he came to the imperial city, it was just the time to release the government.

"The two Wang scholars are inseparable now!"

Zhang Whale came to Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue silently.

"Governor."

Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue bowed at the same time.

Zhang Whale said: "I don't know if the two of you can know that Guo Dan suddenly went to Nanjing. ”

Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue glanced at each other. Wang Xijue said: "We have just heard about this matter, and we are still discussing this matter, I don't know what the governor has to say?" ”

Zhang Whale smiled and said: "It seems that you still lack supervision, so that Your Majesty is dissatisfied, and you want us to investigate this matter." ”

Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue were both shocked.

Dongchang came forward, and everyone knew that Wanli was going to be a hooligan.

Zhang Whale said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you in advance, don't let me find your evidence against Weihui Mansion, otherwise, I won't be able to help you." ”

With that, he walked away.

Wang Xijue frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "It seems that he didn't mean to make trouble!" Don't... Could it be that something really went wrong in Nanjing? ”

Wang Jiaping said: "This shouldn't be, now that the DPRK and China are united, whoever dares to commit a crime against the wind, or I will go over in person." ”

Wang Xijue hurriedly said: "No, if you leave, then I will be alone in the court, we must not mess with ourselves, it really can't work, let Jiang Yinglan go to Nanjing to supervise." ”

Wang Jiaping thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's okay, Jiang Yinglan is still more reassuring." ”

On the second day, they came to the East Pavilion and found that Fang Fengshi was also there, and faintly felt that something was wrong, and when they were about to ask, there was a "The emperor has arrived" outside, which made them quickly get up and come to the door to greet them.

"Wechen ......!"

Before he knelt down, Wanli strode in directly, this person has not come back to his senses, Wanli is already sitting on the dragon chair, "This ceremony is exempt!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ministers sat down tremblingly with Fang Fengshi.

Wanli looked left and right, and said: "I recently received a piece of news that someone used the imperial court tariff reform to target Guo Dan everywhere, so that Guo Dan was forced to go bankrupt to save the people of Weihui Mansion, is it in your eyes, the people of Weihui Mansion are no longer the people of my Daming, but the people of his Guo Dan?" ”

Wang Xijue immediately said: "Your Majesty is clear, the minister knows nothing about this matter. ”

Wang Jiaping asked rhetorically: "I don't know where Your Majesty got the news, if it is found to be true, the minister will severely punish and never tolerate it, and the minister is willing to be punished." The reform of tariffs by ministers is for the sake of the court and the people, and the heart is clear, and the sun and the moon can be seen, and there is absolutely no intention to target anyone. ”

The silent Shen Shixing only glanced at Fang Shi Shi slightly.

Fang Fengshi was wronged, he didn't know what was going on, and now he came to the meeting in a daze.

"I won't say how I learned about it."

Wanli said: "But Guo Dan did take out a million taels to subsidize the people of Weihui Mansion, you should know this." ”

Wang Xijue said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister does know about this, but the minister doesn't know why Guo Dan did this. In addition, as far as the minister knows, the people of other state capitals are very supportive of the tariff reform. ”

Wanli said: "Qing's meaning is that Wei Hui's Mansion was harmed, and then Qing also said that it was not aimed at Guo Dan." ”

Wang Jiaping immediately said: "Your Majesty, we don't know the true situation of Weihui Mansion at present, but everyone has benefited from it, but Weihui Mansion has been harmed, and the problem should come from itself, not because of the new tariff law." ”

Wanli snorted: "You say that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and I don't know who to listen to." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Fang Fengshi and said, "Therefore, I plan to let Fang Aiqing supervise this matter. ”

Fang Fengshi immediately said: "Your Majesty, our Metropolitan Procuratorate has sent people to various places to supervise. ”

He told Shen Shixing about this, and it had nothing to do with me.

Wanli said: "From today on, you will be fully responsible. ”

Fang Fengshi said: "Weichen receives the order." ”

Wanli said: "At the beginning, Guo Dan saved Weihui Mansion from danger and helped the imperial court, I didn't want people to think that the imperial court was going to cross the river and demolish it, so I assured Guo Dan that the new tariff law was definitely not aimed at Weihui Mansion. I believe in all Aiqing, and I don't want me to lose my word to a businessman. ”

"The ministers don't dare."
