Oh my God! O Buddha! O Bodhisattva!

Get a bolt of lightning and kill this kid!

This is the only thought of Wanli and the two eunuchs at this moment.

Who are they?

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the three giants of the Ming Dynasty! Although two of them were castrated.

But in their eyes, such a serious matter, so much silver, in the eyes of this little tooth merchant, is not worth mentioning. If according to the Ming law, so much money, and it is the emperor's private property, it is not an exaggeration to copy the whole house.

What's even more odious is that people went to his house to deliver silver, and this kid was not happy.

You say it's not angry.

This is simply the anger of people and gods!

Wanli's inexplicable cheeks were hot, and he asked himself if he was too unstylish as the emperor, and he was startled, but the other party was calm and relaxed, and he laughed out loud, so angry that he immediately asked Zhang Cheng to go to Kou's tooth shop to have a look, and he didn't care about government affairs, so he sat here and waited for news.

He really doesn't believe in this evil!

And one of the most annoyed is Zhang Whale, this thing is different from what he expected, it shouldn't be like this, according to the previous process, this person got the stolen goods, Wanli will not give Guo Dan so many opportunities, he should be sent to the East Factory for "further study", after further study, a bag of mats, everything is fine.

However, facts speak louder than words.

When Zhang Whale saw the look on Zhang Cheng's face when he came back, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

"You've been around for so long, what's going on?"

Wanli didn't pay so much attention, he was already waiting impatiently, so he asked directly. As soon as the words came out, he glanced at Guo Dan on the side again, and saw that this guy was standing staggering, as if he was asleep, and he was even more angry.

Zhang Cheng was slightly embarrassed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, when the minister first arrived at the Kou family's tooth shop, there were only one or two businessmen who were discussing with the Kou family's housekeeper about investing money in the tooth shop, but it was ....... ”

He wanted to speak, but he stopped.

Wanli said eagerly: "But what, you said it!" ”

Aren't we afraid that you will lose face? Zhang Cheng muttered in his heart, and said truthfully: "But then... And here came a lot of people, among them businessmen, big landowners, and even... There are even some butlers of princes and nobles, and many of them really brought silver, and... And the housekeeper of the Kou family really didn't accept it, saying that he would wait for Guo Dan to go back before he could decide. ”

Zhang Whale was shocked: "This... How is this possible? ”

Zhang Cheng looked at him in embarrassment, and whispered, "Overseer, this... This is all true, our family has also quietly asked a few people, they really want to cooperate with the Kou family's tooth shop, and... And the news really came out in the morning. ”

Zhang Whale suddenly looked confused!

This is even more exaggerated than Guo Dan said.

Is this guy still modest?

I want my own life!

Guo Dan whispered: "Prime minister, you... Did you also ask? Wouldn't that be a sight to behold, hey, it's still a curfew today, and I don't dare to go back tonight. ”

"Shut up."

Zhang Cheng glared at this guy.

He didn't know if this kid was really stupid, or pretending to be stupid, just now he really pinched a cold sweat for Guo Dan, Zhang Whale obviously wanted to put him to death, generally speaking, basically Guo Dan was dead, but this guy didn't realize it, and he was still thinking about this kind of trivial matter here.

Why hasn't the lightning come yet.

It's easy to hear!

This Nima is really embarrassing!

Wanli secretly glanced at Guo Dan, seeing that this guy seemed to be still concerned about whether he would go home tonight, he was inexplicably a little apprehensive in his heart, he actually valued Guo Dan's talent very much, and the canonization ceremony achieved unprecedented success, and among them, Guo Dan was a great meritorious, and he should have been rewarded for his meritorious deeds, but it turned out to be such a trouble, will this Guo Dan have any mind in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and he couldn't help but look at the culprit Zhang Whale, and said: "Factory minister, if the matter is not investigated clearly in the future, don't sue me here." ”

The tone was already quite unpleasant, and the pot was thrown without leaving a trace.

"It's the minister's mishandling, and I ask Your Majesty to condemn you!"

Zhang Whale hurriedly knelt down and admitted the punishment.

Don't look at Wanli, he is often cute, but when he was in power, there was absolutely no eunuch like Wei Zhongxian, and whoever had signs had to die.

Guo Dan suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, you can't blame the overseer for this matter, he is just doing his duty for His Majesty and the court, if he doesn't report it, it will be a dereliction of duty, and it is the grass people who mishandled it, so that there is such a big misunderstanding, if the grass people put the silver at home at that time, maybe there will not be such a thing." ”

Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then a touch of praise flashed in his eyes, it seems that our family still underestimated this kid!

Except for a little bit of hatefulness, this kid is pretty good. Wanli hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, this is just a misunderstanding." Minister, hurry up. ”

Of course, he will not punish Zhang Whale for this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Whale still pretended to be sincerely frightened and stood up, and glanced at Guo Dan again, with a complicated light flashing in his eyes. He didn't expect that Wanli would make an appearance of him and show it to Guo Dan, which shows what status Guo Dan has in Wanli's heart.

Wanli couldn't care so much at this time, and hurriedly asked Guo Dan: "Guo Dan, tell me quickly, what's going on?" Why do those people want to invest money in your tooth shop? ”

He loves money like his life, but he has always been helpless, and always deigns to blackmail various financial departments, if he can also be like Guo Dan, sit firmly in Diaoyutai, and those financial departments desperately send him money, how happy it is.

You have to study hard.

It can be seen that Wanli is definitely a good student who is sensitive and studious, and is not ashamed to ask questions, but... He's an emperor, which seems to be a bit out of business.

Guo Dan was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, it's not that the grass people don't want to say it, it's just that Your Majesty doesn't know how to do business, if you really talk about it, it's a long story!" ”

"I happen to be fine today, just tell me." Wanli said with a smile. Collecting money is the biggest hobby in his life, and the emperor is just a profession, and he is forced to be helpless.

"Yes."

Guo bowed lightly and said, "Actually, this is a businessman." ”

"This is the merchant?"

Wanli was slightly stunned.

Guo Dan nodded and said: "The main thing that merchants do is to use money to make money, even if it is to produce porcelain and silk, they also invest money in it first, and then earn returns." Therefore, as a businessman, the most taboo thing is to put money in the warehouse. This money is not a pig in the end, it is kept in the warehouse, and it can give birth to a group of cubs, and the more it is raised, whether it is silver or copper money, if it is placed in the warehouse, it is useless except for rust. ”

Wanli's face was a little red, and he nodded a little embarrassedly, "That makes sense." ”

Zhang Cheng slowly lowered his head.

Because he knew that Wanli loved to put the silver in the warehouse and raise it, and then run to count it every night.

Guo Dan continued: "This silver must be moved, in order to continue to earn returns, and then more and more, this is why the richer businessmen, the richer the richer the richer they will become, because their investment is large, so they earn more returns, we businessmen have a consensus, that is, only fools will put silver in the warehouse as decoration." ”

Smack.

Zhang Cheng's dust fell, and he bent over to pick up the dust with a pale face, and said in fear: "Your Majesty forgives me, and the minister was distracted for a while." ”

Where is he distracted, he was frightened by Guo Dan, if this is a manifestation of stupidity, then the one sitting on it is the biggest stupidity in the world.

Wanli's heart was like a mirror, his face was red and white, but he couldn't make a sound, coughed lightly, and asked, "What do you say have to do with this matter?" ”

Zhang Whale was depressed, they were all scolding you for being stupid, you didn't send him to the East Factory for "further study", what is the use of me building the East Factory?

"It's a big deal."

Guo Dan didn't seem to know at all, he scolded the emperor again, and said: "Actually, speaking of which, thanks to Your Majesty, you contracted the canonization ceremony to the grass people, so that the grass people's ability can be brought into play, and those businessmen also know that the grass people will make money, and now that they have this opportunity, they are naturally willing to invest their money in the grass people's tooth shop." In fact, this can also be said to be a way of managing money, they all know that this money is in their hands, and they may only be able to earn a penny, but in my hands, they may be able to earn five cents, or even ten cents, so they are naturally willing to put the money in my hands. ”

"Do you have what it takes?"

Zhang Whale blurted out.

Without waiting for Guo Dan to answer, Wanli laughed: "He has this ability." ”

Again, facts speak louder than words.

In the past, the canonization ceremony cost money, but this time it made a lot of money.

"Your Majesty has won the prize." Guo Dan said with a smile.

Wanli was depressed, he scolded me, and I had to praise him.

"And that's not all." Guo Dan continued: "Oh, didn't the prime minister mention that there are many big landlords who go to our tooth shop? ”

Zhang Cheng nodded dumbly.

Wanli was curious again: "Is there any mystery in this?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, all the big landlords who go to my tooth shop today are definitely smart people, and it is not luck that they can achieve today."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Those big landlords are not businessmen, but they know how to invest in businessmen precisely because they understand that they must not put their eggs in one basket. For example, the landlord's main income is to farm and collect rent, but there are unforeseen circumstances, all the money is invested in the land, in case there is something that day, it may be bankrupt, a reasonable way to manage finance, should be to invest money in various fields, put some at home, land investment a little, business investment a little, usually can make money, and when it is endangered, there is a loss in a certain field, but the profit in other areas can also be subsidized in this field, in general, it is difficult to meet all the fields of accidents, so there is only a share of investment, which can last forever. ”

"I see."

Wanli nodded frequently when he heard it.

Even Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale were thoughtful.

It's nothing more than telling them that if you're not a businessman, you're investing in me more.

Guo Dan looked at them secretly, thinking, I have said everything to this point, and there are facts to prove it, if you are still not moved, then I will go and die headlong.

After a long time, Wanli suddenly said: "Today's events are all misunderstandings, and you are not allowed to mention them again in the future." After a pause, he added, "I'm a little tired, so you can retire." ”

"The minister retired."

Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng bowed.

Guo Dan said: "Your Majesty, this silver is ......." ”

Wanli glanced at the box of silver, and his eyes flashed.

This was all sent to the palace, the fate was deep, and it was going to be taken out again, but Wanli did ...... good job.

Depend on! I helped you earn 300,000 taels, and you still think about my 10,000 taels, so I'm relieved. Guo Dan immediately said: "Your Majesty, since this silver has been transported to the palace, let's just put it here." ”

Wanli was overjoyed to hear it, and he really understood my heart!

Who knew that Guo Dan added again, "The grass people can take it directly from the more than 300,000 taels." ”

Wanli Fang remembered that he still had more than 300,000 taels in Guo Dan's house, and he couldn't lose a big one because of a small one, so his white and chubby face suddenly collapsed, and he waved his hand with an unhappy face: "Factory minister, you can send this silver back." ”
