When you want to gain something, then you have to be prepared to lose it first.

Of course, Wang Xijue is also prepared for this, if this impeachment is not successful, he will inevitably resign, and he has no face to continue to rely on the cabinet.

Then again, he couldn't stay if he wanted to.

Because he originally blamed Li Weien and the current imperial court's disaster relief system, which was tantamount to praising Guo Dan and Guo Dan's disaster relief methods from the side.

Now that the results are in, what will the officials think?

You, Wang Xijue, betrayed us and chose to mix with Guo Dan.

Who will take care of him in the future?

His prestige was gone.

Therefore, on the same day, Wang Xijue released Li Weien and set off for Beijing at the same time.

"Two adults, the lower officials have to be busy with disaster relief, so as not to be impeached again, and they can't be sent far away, I hope the two adults will take care of it!"

Li Weien sent it to the front of the government and stopped to say goodbye.

But what kind of goodbye is this, this is more like sweeping the enemy away.

Wang Xijue just glanced at it contemptuously, smiled, and then got into the carriage and walked away.

After they left, the chief bookkeeper beside Li Weien said: "My lord, they are all cabinet scholars, are you doing this well?" ”

Li Weien smiled: "They are now unable to protect themselves!" Ha ha......! ”

......

Daimyo's house.

"Really?"

A middle-aged man with a big belly looked at Li Tong in surprise and said, "Li Tong, there are so many warehouses, you will sell them all to me for two thousand taels?" ”

Li Tong nodded.

The middle-aged man was surprised: "But this is good, why don't you do it?" ”

Li Tong smiled: "I give you this price, I just don't want you to ask so much, if you don't want it, tell me now, I have to rush to talk to others, many people want these warehouses." ”

"Yes! How could not. ”

The man hurriedly said, "Then let's sign the contract now?" ”

Soon, the two parties closed the deal.

Because this is the Daimyo's mansion, the other party is not afraid of Li Tong's tricks.

"That's right! Do you still want those fleets? ”

"I'm going to sell it too, are you interested?"

"Then sit down a little longer, and we'll talk."

"Okay!"

......

Weihui House.

"Unexpected... I didn't expect this to be a void in the end! ”

Zhou Feng staggered out of the Chen Lou conference room, and suddenly slapped his head hard, "Hey", looking extremely annoyed, "How can this be." ”

Qin Zhuang whispered, "What are you doing here?" Guo Danke hasn't lost yet. ”

Zhou Feng said: "It's another thing to lose or not, the question is how much money we have to lose during this period!" ”

Cao Da snorted: "Now you still have the strength to care about this money, and the most important thing is to keep these deals." ”

Zhou Feng looked left and right and asked, "It seems that you all plan to follow Guo Dan." ”

Hu Yuan smiled: "I won't tell you, if you want me to go back and do that little business, I really can't be interested." ”

Qin Zhuang and the others also nodded.

I'm used to living in a big house, and suddenly I live in a birdcage, who can stand this!

.......

Tea.

"Third brother, we don't necessarily have to help Guo Dan."

Xu Han said: "Actually, I have always felt that it is a bit outrageous for a businessman to contract four state capitals, but now it is normal for the imperial court to take it back, and I also think that Guo Dan has little hope of winning this battle." ”

"You can use this sentence for anything before, and you don't need to change a word, but what is the result?" Hu Du asked.

Xu Han nodded slightly: "This is also true, the third brother has to mean that he intends to help Guo Dan"

Hu Du pondered for a while and said, "Although it is outrageous for Guo Dan to contract four state capitals, have you ever thought that our Jin merchants can achieve such a scale in any state capital?" ”

Xu Han shook his head.

Hu Du said: "Isn't this over, let's help Guo Dan, it's still beneficial, besides, Guo Dan notified us of this matter in advance and asked us to stop continuing to lend money, which can be regarded as a great help to us."

But you're right, Guo Dan may not win every time, this time he will lose very badly! We have to make preparations with both hands, didn't Guo Dan ask us to secretly help him raise copper coins? Then let's help him secretly, anyway, not many people know, in case he wins, then he still owes us a favor, if he loses, we will immediately cut him off.

Wait for the officials over there to come here to receive it, and we will send someone to check it up and down when the time comes, and we will not lose money in this transaction. ”

.......

Nanking.

A no-tooth line.

"Big butler, are you looking for me?"

"Li Feng, you immediately go to the racecourse and tell them that from now on, all the silver taels from the horse race will be deposited in the bank, and we will use the materials to do good deeds." Kou Yi commanded.

"Yes."

As soon as Li Feng went out, another tooth man walked in.

Kou Yi instructed again: "Xiong Lei, you go and invite me all the proprietors of those small textile workshops." ”

"Yes."

......

Capital.

A no-tooth line.

"Little sister, what's your name?"

Xu Jirong bent over and propped his arms on the table and asked Zhu Yaoyuan.

"Huh? I... My name is Li Fangchen. ”

"Li Fangchen? Well, it's really a name. ”

Xu Jirong grinned and said, "My name is Little Uncle." ”

"Is your name Little Uncle?"

Zhu Yaoyuan said in surprise.

Xu Jirong said: "My name is Xu Jirong, but the emperor gave me the name Little Uncle, I can be called Little Uncle alone, my grandfather is Xing'an Bo, Taifu Siqing, our Xu family is very rich, I am even richer, how much money do you give you a month?" ”

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting from behind: "Guo Dan, why didn't Sister Xu come?" ”

Xu Jirong turned his head abruptly and said, "Which sister Xu is my brother talking about?" ”

Zhu Yihua said: "Your aunt." ”

"Uh-huh.....!"

Xu Jirong let out a beast-like moan from his mouth, and looked at Zhu Yihua angrily, "Brother wants to fight?" ”

Zhu Yihua said: "If you want to harass Li Fangchen again, I will find your aunt when I go." ”

Xu Jirong blinked, suddenly turned his head to look at Li Fangchen, and said with a little regret: "Hello, little sister-in-law." ”

Zhu Yaoyuan suddenly looked confused.

"Poof!"

Guo Dan couldn't help laughing, he was really sensible.

Xu Jirong said to Zhu Yihua again: "Brother, are you satisfied this time?" ”

In his mind, no woman can compare with Aunt Xu, not even her toes.

Zhu Yihua touched this living treasure, and his head was big, "Okay, okay, come over quickly." ”

But I also have to say that with Zhu Yaoyao sitting here, it suppressed Zhu Yihua's royal spirit to a certain extent, and he didn't dare to tease them casually.

"Oh."

Xu Jirong drooped his head, walked to Guo Dan's desk, and sat in a row with Zhu Yihua, Liu Xinmou, and Guan Xiaojie.

Zhu Yihua suddenly smiled at Guo Dan: "Guo Dan, this time you are finished." ”

Liu Xinmou turned his head to look at Zhu Yihua and said, "Little prince, are you gloating?" ”

"No, how can it be."

Zhu Yihua's eyes turned upward, in fact, he really had a little bit, after all, he didn't have any business in it.

Guo Dan looked at Liu Xinmou depressedly, as if to say, who asked you to call him? Does this have anything to do with him?

Liu Xinmou is innocent, he wants to come, and I can't stop him!

Guo Dan said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about anything else, I invite you to come over today, mainly because there are two things, the first is about five guns, I want five guns not to buy raw materials for the time being, first consume the inventory and then say, but we must save, the newspaper only left serials and horse newspapers, and only one issue was issued on the tenth day, and the rest of the printing stopped, as for those hoarding goods, sell them quickly, all of them were exchanged for silver, and deposited in Yinuo Money Bank."

The second thing is that all the money from Marseille will be handed over to my dental shop, and then our dental shop will use materials to donate to those temples and Taoist temples, and I have already sent Xiao An to those abbots to negotiate. ”

This was just the beginning, Xu Jirong was already drowsy when he heard it, and said, "Just this little thing, can you invite us over?" ”

Liu Xinmou looked at Xu Jirong in surprise, is this still a trivial matter?

Guo Dan was very excited: "I just asked Xun Mou and Xiaojie to come over, I don't know why you two are sitting here?" ”

Xu Jirong immediately looked at Zhu Yihua aggrievedly.

Zhu Yihua said in a low voice: "It's all your fault, what kind of mouth do you have, it's a shame this time." ”

Xu Jirong said: "Then I'll go talk to Fangchen?" ”

Zhu Yihua said: "Then I'll go find your aunt." ”

“.......！”

Liu Xinmou asked Guo Dan, "Why is this?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Because my current power can no longer take care of so many transactions, we must first shrink comprehensively, and look at the situation, at this time I only believe in silver." ”

"Really?"

Liu Xinmou said suspiciously.

Guo Dan said: "Think for yourself." As he spoke, he looked at Guan Xiaojie again, and saw that the fat man was holding a plate of pastries, eating happily, and said, "Xiaojie, how do you eat, you will die of fat." ”

Guan Xiaojie said vaguely: "What do you know, only fat people will have women like them." ”

Guo Dan was puzzled: "Really fake?" ”

"Of course it's true, fat means that the family has money, do you look at those ordinary people, is there a fat man?"

Guo Dan frowned, this fat man really made sense.

Guan Xiaojie waved his hand again and said, "My godfather said, everything is up to you, you can do whatever you want." ”

Guo Dan said thoughtfully: "But your godfather is also very thin!" ”

"Huh? Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......! ”

......

East Pavilion.

"Shen Shoufu, this is the list they recommend."

Yang Wei, the secretary of the ministry, handed a list to Shen Shixing.

Generally speaking, the Ministry of Officials is not controlled by the Cabinet, but Yang Wei is actually Shen Shixing's person, but the Ministry of Officials has its own traditions and glory, Yang Wei can only cooperate with Shen Shixing on the side, but he doesn't dare to get too close to the cabinet, and other officials in the Ministry will oppose it.

Shen Shixing didn't look at it, so he nodded and said, "The cabinet has no opinion." ”

Yang Wei hesitated for a moment and said, "But the people above are all against you." ”

Shen Shixing smiled bitterly: "Is there anyone who doesn't object to decay now?" ”

At this time, Xu Guo walked in, "Shen Shoufu, these are two letters from the Guide Mansion, and they are the resignations of Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping." ”

Shen Shixing was just about to reach out to pick it up, but after hearing it, he took it back, was silent for a while, and sighed: "Leave Wang Jiaping's, as for Yuanyu's, take it and present it to Your Majesty." ”

Xu Guodao: "Shen Shoufu ......!" ”

Shen Shixing said: "We can hold this resignation, but we can't keep Yuan Yu anymore." ”
