For example, the reaction of Zhou Feng and others was actually expected by Guo Dan, because this is an unequal confrontation, the price paid by the two sides is different, if the businessman wins, that is, he will make some money there, and if he loses, it is very likely to be liquidated or even bankrupt.

Now how much profit Weihui Mansion has, they don't know, and it is the first time they have encountered this kind of thing.

And those scholars, officials, did not stop there, everything is inferior only to reading, this is their belief, what the truth is, they don't care anymore.

They just can't tolerate the businessmen achieving such great success, and they continue to create public opinion, saying that the big landlords of Weihui Mansion are colluding with Zhu Yihua and Guo Dan to bewitch the people and use the people, which is a conspiracy.

Their public opinion is deeply popular, the people actually don't care whether Guo Dan is a businessman or not, they don't understand this, what they care about is King Lu, this Zhu Yihua's reputation is really too stinky.

He did a lot of hurtful things, it's really not those scholars who slander him, what people say is the truth, such as Huguang, Sichuan, and the people of Hejian and Daimyo's two mansions hate him very much, so since you Guo Dan and Zhu Yihua are in the same group, then you are definitely not a good person.

Guo Dan also knew that the other party would definitely attack this, but he couldn't help it, because the only one in this world who appreciated him was Wanli, he was cheeky to mess with scholars, and people wouldn't care about him.

Of course, he took on this task mainly because it would bring him huge benefits, otherwise, he would not care, and this matter actually has little to do with him.

Since he has taken over this task, no matter what, he must give everyone an explanation.

Luwang Mansion.

"Tut, this palace is really luxurious, just this stone, we merchants want to get it, I don't know how much it costs, and this wood, tsk, it's really rare!"

Chen Ping followed Guo Dan in the Luwang Mansion while walking, while amazed, he is an expert, at a glance, he knows how much people have to spend on the people's fat and people's ointment, and suddenly asked Guo Dan: "Virtuous nephew, do you really plan to change this palace into a workshop?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Do you think it's inappropriate?" ”

Chen Ping shook his head and said, "I think this is really a tyrannical thing. ”

Guo Dan said: "What is a heavenly thing? A chicken that can lay eggs is a heavenly thing, and this palace is a chicken that can lay golden eggs. ”

Chen Ping thought about it and felt that it made sense.

The two chatted and chatted, and came to the gate of Luwang's Mansion again, only to see many people standing at the door, including Liang Kui, who were all there, and their expressions were a little dazed.

Because today Guo Dan plans to open the Lu Palace, but they can't believe it, Guo Dan has changed this palace into a workshop.

"Why don't you two go in and hang out?"

Guo Dan asked Xu Jirong and Zhu Yihua who were standing in front of the door.

Zhu Yihua snorted: "Why don't I go in, don't you know?" ”

After being frightened by Guo Dan last time, he is afraid when he sees this Luwang Mansion now, at most, he just wanders in front of the gate, and he has never entered, in case he can't get out, how can it be good.

Xu Jirong said depressedly: "I wanted to go in and have fun, but my brother pulled me here to accompany him." ”

Guo Danwan'er came to the front of the steps again, and said aloud to the people in front of him: "Everyone, the Luwang Mansion you see now has been contracted to me, and I will split it into workshops and rent them to merchants, and most of you will work here in the future. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

"How is this possible?"

A scholar snorted: "Then King Lu has hollowed out his mind, worked hard and lost money, and built this Lu Wangfu, how can he contract the Lu Wangfu to you?" ”

"Be careful what you say."

Zhu Yihua whispered.

Guo Dan whispered: "Do you want me to let Xiaojie buy two yo-yos for you to eat, I found out earlier that Weihui Mansion also has to be sold." ”

“......！”

Zhu Yihua was silent.

Guo Dan looked at the people again and said, "The reason why King Lu contracted the Lu Wangfu to me is that he hopes to make up for the mistakes he made before. ”

Everyone looked at each other, as if no one believed it.

Guo Dan continued: "In the whole matter, King Lu is duty-bound, he did not restrain his subordinates, so that those people used the name of building King Lu's Mansion to extort money everywhere, bringing great suffering to the people of Weihui Mansion. ”

Immediately, a scholar said, "But we heard that King Lu connived at his subordinates to do mischief. ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "It's actually not wrong to say this, but you think about it, how old is King Lu, where does he know where the stone is good, where the wood is good, and how can he know how much manpower and material resources are needed to transport the stone and wood."

The officials below told him that the timber in Shu was good, so he asked for timber to be transported from Shudi, saying that the stone in Huguang was good, and he asked for the stone in Huguang, but he just opened his mouth, and he would not think about what a heavy burden it would bring to the people.

However, now, after the incident broke out, King Lu was very painful, he didn't even want to come to King Lu's Mansion to be a vassal domain, he hoped to do something to make up for the people, so he took out King Lu's Mansion, hoping to bring livelihood to the people of Weihui Mansion.

At the same time, he promised that he would never spend a penny on the construction of this Lu Wangfu again. ”

The scholar said: "Even so, you can't forgive King Lu's sins, this person's life is at stake, how can he easily spare King Lu, but we heard that the Holy Lord intends to shield King Lu and not hold him accountable." ”

"It's not that the Holy One intends to cover it up." Guo Dan said: "It was I who suggested that the Holy Lord give King Lu a chance." ”

Zhu Yihua couldn't help but look at Guo Dan in surprise, his heart was full of emotion, this sentence is equivalent to Guo Dan taking all the responsibility on himself.

"Is that you?"

Liang Kui and the others all looked at Guo Dan with wide eyes.

You're going to set yourself on fire!

"It's me."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Everyone knows, I am just a businessman, of course Your Majesty will not talk to me about King Lu, Your Majesty is looking for me to discuss how to save Weihui Mansion and the people of Weihui Mansion." Therefore, I only care about how to make the people of Weihui Mansion live and work in peace and contentment, and let Weihui Mansion recast its former glory.

Based on this, I would prefer to cooperate with a prince who has changed his past and thinks that he is ashamed of the people, and it turns out that I am right, if there is no strong support from King Lu behind me, I would not be able to stand here now, after all, I am just a humble businessman.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, this Luwang Mansion is built here, even if King Lu doesn't come here, it will definitely be given to other vassal kings, who dares to guarantee that other vassal kings won't toss again? At least you can't work in it. ”

His words were definitely from the bottom of his heart, after all, he was familiar with King Lu, he thought that he could use some means to restrain King Lu, and if he wanted to change another vassal king, he couldn't control it at all, and Wei Hui Mansion was very important to him, and he couldn't afford to lose.

Another old scholar stood up on crutches and said, "Do you want us to forgive King Lu, when nothing happened before?" ”

"Of course not."

Guo Dan said: "On the contrary, I hope you will never forgive King Lu, this matter must be pursued all the time, it cannot be regarded as closed, you must keep this matter in mind, and keep your eyes open at King Lu at all times, if he makes a little mistake again, he will immediately turn over the old accounts." Oh, when the time comes, King Lu will also set up a monument of repentance in front of King Lu's mansion to show his repentance, but as far as you are concerned, that is the evidence. ”

Zhu Yihua's eyes widened, looking at Guo Dan in shock, the previous emotion suddenly disappeared without a trace, and after a long time, you are here to trap me.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

I think what Guo Dan said is not unreasonable, this has happened, and severely punishing King Lu can give out a bad breath, but what about after it is over? At that time, another vassal king will definitely be sent here, and this Lu Wangfu has not yet been completed, will the new vassal king continue to toss? No one knows.

At least this King Lu is willing to repent, this opening of the Lu Wangfu is the greatest sincerity, and he also promised not to spend the people's money to build the Luwang Mansion.

There is a saying that the lesser of two evils is chosen.

Guo Dan suddenly stepped aside and said, "If you think you can accept it, then you can go in." ”

After a little hesitation, the people went inside.

Now they only want a bite to eat, and they really can't take care of the rest

This is actually a very sad scene, King Lu is indeed an unforgivable crime, whether it is from the legal system or from the moral point of view, it is not an exaggeration to put Ling Chi to death.

But this is not going to happen.

And the people are always a vulnerable group, they can only choose in a bad choice, choose a not too bad, in fact, even if they kill King Lu, there are thousands of King Lu lined up behind, as long as the Ming Dynasty is still this virtue, then King Lu will always exist.

......

Back at the mansion, Dong Ping immediately ordered the backyard to be closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, because he knew that King Lu was going to go berserk.

"Old K, what do you mean, let them hold me and not let go, I didn't promise to set up any monument of repentance, didn't I say it in advance, it's those counties who are incompetent, and it has nothing to do with me."

Zhu Yihua was furious.

Guo Dan also said excitedly: "What can I do, I have always said so before, but those scholars are holding on to you, I just have one mouth, how can I quarrel with them, you can only regret this road."

And if you think about it, the basis for the people to let you go is that you contributed to the Luwang Mansion, in other words, until the people forgive you, you can come here to become a vassal, otherwise, you can't come here to become a vassal, isn't this what you want? ”

"This..."

Zhu Yihua thought about it, it seemed right, in this way, the minister was embarrassed to let him come to the domain, and said aggrievedly: "But if this matter doesn't pass, they will always stare at me, then I can't do anything." ”

"Ah Kun!"

Guo Dan put one hand on Zhu Yihua's shoulder and said: "Actually, I understand you, but your previous approach was the most stupid, many things can be solved with money, you said that I let the people work inside, and you let them move stones, is there any difference?"

But they are very grateful to me, and they hate you to the core, which is nothing more than that I spend money, not only do you not spend money, but you also ask them for money, in other words, as long as you have money, you can do whatever you want. ”

Zhu Yihua thought for a while and said, "But if I want to make money, I don't have to ask them." ”

"The fact that you can think of this proves that you have understood it."

Guo smiled lightly, he was very right, every penny he used was people's fat and people's ointment, and said: "But now the situation is different, you know me, with your identity, plus the strength of our capital Shuangyu, no matter how much money you have." ”

Xu Jirong grinned and said: "Lao K is right, the three of us cooperate, are you afraid that there will be no money?" ”

Zhu Yihua looked at Guo Dan and said, "How do we get money?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "That's really endless, it's endless, if you want fame and fortune to achieve both fame and fortune, and at the same time satisfy your desires, then we can go outside and toss." ”

"Outside?"

Zhu Yihua squinted at Guo Dan.

"That's right!"

Guo Dan nodded and said: "Think about it, you used to occupy people's women and abduct women, weren't you all scolded for being bloody, but those Franco women you robbed outside, who said half a sentence about you?" ”

"It makes sense."

Zhu Yihua nodded, but then said, "When will I occupy the people's women and abduct women?" ”

"Brother, you have it, have you forgotten?" Xu Jirong said immediately.

Zhu Yihua hurriedly said, "You stay and go." As he spoke, he said, "Let's go to Franc's side to toss?" That's a little farther away. ”

Guo Dan sighed: "As the saying goes, this good thing doesn't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles, this is to tell us that if you want to do bad things, you have to run thousands of miles away to do it, and the distance of the Franc machine is just right, I promise you, if you want to do something harmful to nature and reason over there in the future, I will leave it to you to do, and I can't do this with my heart." ”

Xu Jirong shook his head and said, "I'm also a charity ambassador, and I can't do this, brother, this kind of thing is suitable for you to do." ”

"Go, go!"

Zhu Yihua's face was flushed, and he said excitedly: "I... When did I say that I would do such an unreasonable thing, and you cannot slander me. ”

"If you don't do this, then what are you afraid of?" Guo Dan asked rhetorically.

"I..."
