Chapter 105: Don't Mess With Me (Ask for Subscription, Ask for Monthly Pass)
Guo Dan immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
But in fact, he doesn't have to be afraid at all, the real purebred businessman is limited, it is difficult to develop, this money is actually in the hands of those dignitaries, royal relatives and relatives, if you want to get this money, there is only one way to go.
Wanli asked again: "Then what do you mean by this?" ”
Guo Dan suddenly sat upright and said: "Your Majesty, most of the income of the imperial court comes from taxes, which naturally also includes commercial taxes, and commercial taxes lie in buying and selling. Nowadays, ordinary people have no money to buy, and rich merchants can't buy anything, so naturally there is not much business tax. If the merchant can buy everything, it will certainly stimulate economic growth, and there will be more buying and selling among the people, and the output will definitely increase, and the weavers and peasant households will also benefit from this, and more commercial taxes will be generated, even if it is thirty taxes and one, as long as this amount is up, the commercial tax is still very considerable.
In addition, this also affects the agricultural tax, the merchant earns money, but can not live like a landlord, not even a piece of embroidery service, which will inevitably lead to many rich merchants have to buy a large amount of land, and this is the most taboo land annexation in the imperial court, not only the commercial tax is less, but also leads to a reduction in agricultural tax, Your Majesty can not lack money. ”
Zhang Cheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, this kid is really capable of pulling, the little carriage and horse are dressed in clothes, and he was actually pulled to the land annexation, the key is that this guy really has a lot of truth.
It turns out that this guy is not digging a pit to bury himself, but wants to change his clothes!
"Hmm... You're right. ”
Wanli nodded thoughtfully, and he didn't know if Zhang Juzheng gave less pocket money, and he was afraid of lack of money, anyway, once this involved financial problems, he would consider it carefully.
Zhang Cheng cautiously reminded: "Your Majesty, regarding the restrictions on the clothing of this carriage and horse, Taizu has set a ....... ”
He just saw that Wanli seemed to be a little tempted, and kindly reminded him that this is an ancestral system, and it can't be changed at will.
"Uh-huh......."
Wanli nodded, but his eyes were looking at Guo Dan.
Guo Dan comprehended and said busily: "Your Majesty, how grand your canonization ceremony is, the grass people think that even the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee will dress very ceremoniously, if those special guests are all dressed in tatters, and there is not much soil, if others see it, they have to be a group of beggars standing there, this may make Your Majesty's canonization ceremony a lot of discolored, and may even cause the concubine to be unhappy." ”
"It makes sense, it makes sense."
Wanli's eyes lit up, this kid was really clever, and said: "Okay, the guests who have been invited to participate in the canonization ceremony, no matter what class of people, can serve in a bright and beautiful manner, oh, they can also come by carriage." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Cheng immediately knew that the emperor was determined to break the restrictions of this carriage and horse.
Wanli is really not a legalistic emperor, his personality is actually very selfish, otherwise, he would not have to canonize Zheng Guifei as the imperial concubine first. In fact, those ministers are not against Zheng Guifei, they just think that there should be a sequence, Confucianism is not about the order of the young and the old, if you want to canonize it, you must first canonize Wang Gongfei.
But Wanli still has to canonize Zheng Guifei first.
Now in Wanli's view, the restriction on the clothing of this carriage and horse is not a businessman, but a silver for nothing, it is his own income, how can he, who loves money like his life, allow this situation to continue to happen, this must be abolished, as for the ancestral system or something, he has never taken it to heart.
And Guo Dan just reminded him that this canonization ceremony is the best breakthrough.
"Your Majesty."
Guo Dan shouted, and said: "If Your Majesty continues to hand over this matter to the grass people, can the grass people make another small request." ”
Wanli immediately said: "It's okay for you to say it. ”
Guo Dan said: "Originally, this number could actually be a little more, because the grass people's tooth line is too small, and it can accommodate a few people at most, resulting in a very slow process, and the grass people originally wanted to buy the houses on the left and right, but this procedure is very slow ......." ”
Before he could finish speaking, Wanli said impatiently: "Okay, I will allow you to buy it... Those houses, such trivial things in the future, you can directly tell the Prime Minister and he will help you. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Guo Dan hurriedly saluted.
After this incident, Wanli attaches more importance to Guo Danna, this kid is not only a small businessman, but also quite knowledgeable, from the restrictions of the carriage and horses, you can see the land annexation, which is very good.
Wanli was good again and calmed Guo Dan for a while.
To sum it up, it's just one sentence--- don't be afraid, my brother will cover you.
And he also did what he said, and really sent a small team of his own guards to escort Guo Dan out of the palace, and also instructed them to protect Guo Dan day and night, if anyone dared to touch Guo Dan's hair, he would be killed directly.
Zhang Cheng was completely speechless, this is a bit too much!
Although he thought so, he still personally Guo Dan out of the Qianqing Palace, this eunuch knows the wind and the rudder the most, and now Wanli values Guo Dan so much, of course he will not give Guo Dan a face, we are on one front.
"Uncle."
As soon as Guo Dan left, a eunuch in his thirties ran over and whispered in Zhang Cheng's ear: "Fang Cai's nephew has already found out that Xing Shangzhi's young son, Xing Quan, had been to the Kou family this afternoon. ”
"Is that him?"
Zhang Cheng couldn't help frowning slightly, but soon his eyebrows expanded, and he smiled: "It's no wonder." ”
It turned out that when he went to report, he had already sent someone to investigate the matter, because he was also in charge of this matter, and if there was any mistake, he would also be responsible, and Guo Dan had just left, and the news came, which shows how powerful their intelligence ability is.
Zhang Cheng thought for a while, and said, "You go and inform the Overseer of this matter immediately." ”
The eunuch looked at Zhang Cheng in surprise.
Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Do you think this matter can be concealed from the Overseer? He'll find out sooner or later, so I might as well be a favor. ”
This overseer is Zhang Whale, the governor of the East Factory, he can't help but control the East Factory, and at the same time control the Jinyi Guard, these two major intelligence systems are in his hands, how can he hide it.
"Nephew understood."
.....
.....
The Kou family.
"Virtuous son-in-law, you can be regarded as coming back, where you went before, I don't say clearly, but the old man is in a hurry, if you have three long and two short, leaving our father and daughter, how can you be born."
Kou Shouxin saw that Guo Dan was back, and tears of excitement were about to flow out, so he hurriedly got up and went out.
Kou Liansha, who was holding him, also looked at Guo Dan with worry.
Guo Dan hurriedly bowed: "I made my father-in-law and his wife worried, and my son-in-law is really sorry." ”
"Don't say these words, we are a family, just come back, come back ......."
As he spoke, Kou Shouxin suddenly saw that Guo Dan was followed by two strong men with knives, and because they were dressed in civilian clothes, he was also difficult to distinguish, and said curiously: "Who are these two?" ”
Guo Dan sighed, "They are the saint's guards. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly bent down slightly, grabbed Kou Shouxin's crutches with his right hand, and supported Kou Shouxin, who was already stunned, and said, "Father-in-law, madam, let's go into the house and talk." ”
After Guo Dan entered the house, the two guards immediately stood on both sides of the gate, their expressions cold, which made the passing maids feel a little scared.
It wasn't until he came to the lobby and sat down that Kou Shouxin woke up like a dream, grabbed Guo Dan's hand tightly with one hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Virtuous son-in-law, you say... You say they are the Holy Guards today? ”
Guo nodded with a smile and said, "The little son-in-law just went to see the Holy Lord, and after the Holy Lord learned about this, he sent a team of guards to protect us. ”
"It's... This.... ”
Kou Shouxin trembled slightly, and suddenly the old tears were crossed, knelt down, and shouted: "Long En is mighty, Long En is mighty, old decay is really dead without regrets!" ”
Guo Dan and Kou Zhuansha wasted a long time before they helped Kou Shouxin up.
Kou Zhuansha smiled: "Daddy, you can rest assured now." ”
"Peace of mind, peace of mind." Kou Shouxin smiled happily, "With Your Majesty protecting us, who would dare to come to us for trouble." ”
His face was full of pride.
When Guo Dan saw it, he couldn't help laughing.
Kou Liansha said again: "Daddy, if it's late today, it's time for you to rest, this body is important!" ”
Kou Shouxin was excited, where did he want to sleep, but he thought that he still had to take care of his body and hold his grandson, so he said to Guo Dan: "Virtuous son-in-law, you can talk to me tomorrow." ”
"Yes."
Guo Dan nodded with a smile.
After sending Kou Shouxin back to the house, Guo Dan and Kou Zhuansha returned to their small courtyard, but the husband and wife did not go back to the house with a tacit understanding, but sat down in the courtyard.
"Husband, I think you should think about this matter carefully, instead of going directly to the Holy Lord for help."
Kou Zhuansha said with a sad face.
Guo Dan sighed: "Why does Madam say this, do you think this is inappropriate?" ”
Kou Zhuansha sighed faintly: "Husband, we are just humble merchants in the end, and the Xing family has a close relationship with the governor of Dongchang, Your Majesty will never punish the governor of Dongchang for us, although those guards outside can protect us for a while, but it is difficult to protect us for a lifetime." ”
Guo nodded with a smile and said, "Madame is reasonable. ”
Kou Zhuansha glanced at Guo Dan in surprise and asked, "Has the husband already thought of this?" ”
"Hmm."
Guo Dan nodded and said, "After you saw through me, Madam, I thought that there might be this day." Madame, think about it, in these few days, we have made 200,000 taels, such a huge amount, naturally some people will be red-eyed, this thing cannot be avoided, and it cannot be avoided.
If I promise Xing Quan today, then there will be more Xing Quan coming to the door tomorrow, and this money is His Majesty's, not ours, if we take His Majesty's money to please them, it is better to go directly to please Your Majesty, so, let alone ten seats, I will not give Xing Quan a penny. ”
Kou Zhuansha nodded slightly, and then asked, "But what should we do in the future?" ”
The corners of Guo Dan's mouth raised a wicked smile slightly: "Since I can use 200,000 taels today to get the protection of His Majesty's guards, then tomorrow I can use 2 million taels to bury the Dongchang Governor alive, and he had better not come to provoke me." ”
Kou Lian Shafeng's eyes widened, and she looked at Guo Dan in shock.
A small businessman actually said that he would bury the governor of the East Factory alive.
She even wondered if she was having auditory hallucinations, but when she came back to her senses, she found that the Guo Dan in front of her had become a little unfamiliar, and her indifferent eyes did not have any tenderness.
Guo Dan saw Kou Zhuansha looking at him blankly, and immediately looked at him, and said with a smile: "Madam, this road is not what I want, and it may not be what you want, but no matter what, we have already stepped on, there is no turning back, and the only thing we can do is to remove all the obstacles on this road." ”
In fact, I pushed him and pushed us down this road, no matter what kind of road it is, I should go down with him. Kou Liansha nodded firmly, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Thank you for today." ”
Guo Dan was stunned and said, "Thank me for what?" ”
Kou Liansha's cheeks were slightly red, and she said, "It's when Xing Quan came this afternoon......." ”
When Guo Dan stood in front of her this afternoon, her heart couldn't help beating, and that scene was deeply imprinted in her mind.
"Oh......." Guo Dan suddenly realized, and nodded hurriedly: "You really have to thank me for this, so I don't know if Mrs. plans to make a promise with her body, or what?" ”
.....
.....
Early the next morning.
Xing Quan was sleepy-eyed and yawned and went out.
An idler hurriedly stepped forward and said flatteringly: "Young master, all the villains over there have already been contacted, as long as this seat is in hand, it can be sold immediately." ”
"Good!"
Xing Quan nodded with a smile, raised his hand and said, "Let's go, go to Kou's house." ”
At this moment, a carriage came from the west, surrounded by more than 30 horsemen and sword guards, and the formation was not small.
"It's Grandpa God's coming."
Xing Quan stepped forward excitedly, knelt in front of the carriage, and said obediently: "Grandson to meet Grandpa." ”
I saw a eunuch about fifty years old come out of the car, but this person was born with sharp-beaked monkey gills, his face was still covered with rouge, his cheekbones were protruding, and his eyes were sunken, but his eyes were sharp. He is the governor of Nadong Factory, and he is the number two person among the eunuchs, but it does not mean that his power is smaller than that of the eunuch who holds the seal of the eunuch, and the relationship between the two of them is very delicate.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Zhang Whale, supported by the two little eunuchs, got out of the carriage, took out a silk handkerchief to cover his mouth and coughed a few times, squinted at Xing Quan who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Get up, my good grandson." ”
Xing Quan stood up and said with a curious expression: "Grandpa, you came so early, do you have something to discuss with my father?" ”
"I'm here for you."
"Looking for your grandchildren?"
Xing Quan was surprised.
Zhang Whale nodded and asked, "Where are you going so early?" ”
"My grandson is going..."
Xing Quan said hehehe: "Grandson just went outside to play." ”
"I think you want to go to the Kou family."
"How does Grandpa know?"
Syllable---!
Zhang Whale suddenly slapped Xing Quan's face, only to see that Xing Quan's left face was suddenly bruised, don't look at this eunuch's incomplete limbs, but when he fights people, he is much more ruthless than normal people.
Xing Quan covered his face and looked at Zhang Whale blankly, the whole person was stunned.
Zhang Whale wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said, "Don't blame Grandpa for beating you, if Grandpa doesn't wake you up today, I'm afraid your little life won't be saved!" ”
Speaking of the back, a sinister look flashed in his eyes.
