In fact, there are many more people who come to pursue Zhu Yaoyuan than Aunt Xu, after all, Aunt Xu's seniority is there, which still has a certain deterrent effect.

Because a man of the same age as her, he did not die young, without exception, he was already married, and now those who want to pursue Aunt Xu are all juniors.

But not everyone is as fierce as the Zhang family.

But Zhu Yaoyuan, who has changed her name to Li Fangchen, has become poor, but she looks like a fairy and is knowledgeable, which can attract a lot of gentlemen, people and talents.

It's just that they don't want to meet Guo Dan now, and they usually wait until Guo Dan leaves before they come to harass Zhu Yaoyuan. After all, once upon a time, Guo Dan was only the most wasteful of the two wastes in the capital in their eyes, and now he has become the financial adviser of the Ming Dynasty, and this gap makes them not know how to face Guo Dan.

In the past two years, basically no one has come to Guo Dan, at most he has made a few sour sarcastic words behind his back.

Of course, Guo Dan is very angry about this, the woman next to me, do you have to ask me first, you don't come to ask me, just pursue it directly, and you don't take me seriously.

This anger is anger, and he hasn't had much time to deal with these things lately.

The large-scale merger and split of the executive branch is really not an easy task.

At the same time, Wanli has returned to the palace from the horse racing area, and a series of personnel changes followed, Chen Younian succeeded Fang Feng as the right capital of the imperial history, and Wang Xijue was also the secretary of the household department.

Both sides can be said to have their own gains.

Even said that Chen Younian's faction still took some advantage, after all, Li Sancai's status in the household department is very high now, even if Wang Xijue is also the secretary of the household department, it is not necessarily Wang Xijue who has the final say.

The two sides are actually evenly matched in the household department.

But in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they are the only family.

Of course, Wang Xijue also understood Shen Shixing's intentions, after all, he was a cabinet minister, and it was impossible to put all his energy on the household department, he was just a transition, and the ultimate goal was to promote Cao Ke to the position, so on the first day he came to the household department, he called Cao Ke over.

"Xiaguan has seen Lord Shangshu."

Cao Ke respectfully and respectfully bowed.

Wang Xijue stroked his beard and smiled: "Ke'er don't be polite, there are no outsiders here, you and my uncle and nephew can be commensurate." ”

"Yes, Uncle Wang."

"Sit down."

After Cao Ke sat down, Wang Xijue smiled and said: "Ke'er, others don't know, I know you well, don't hide it in front of Uncle Wang, it will be a shame." ”

Cao Kecheng said with trepidation: "The younger generation doesn't dare." ”

Wang Xijue nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The proposal you put forward last time was implemented very successfully, not only reducing the expenses of the imperial court, but also avoiding the embarrassment of the household department, so that the household department and those sword and pen officials have steps to go down. I'd like to hear your thoughts on national finances. ”

Cao Ke frowned slightly and remained silent.

Wang Xijue said with a smile: "Ke'er, if you really want to get out of the shadow of Shen Shoufu, you have to show your true skills, the more you do nothing, the more people will think that you can stay in the court by virtue of Shen Shoufu's relationship." ”

Cao Ke glanced at Wang Xijue, struggled a little, and then said: "The younger generation thinks that the national finances are terminally ill, even if Zhang Ge is still alive, I am afraid that there is nothing I can do." ”

Wang Xijue opened his eyes and said, "Terminally ill? ”

Cao Ke nodded and said: "From the imperial court to the local government, and then to the border army, corruption is rampant, and everyone takes care of themselves. As Guo Dan said, everything is man-made, and no matter how good the method is, it will only be worse if it is implemented by a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials. ”

Wang Xijue was stunned.

These words just said the helplessness in his heart!

He was deeply touched by this.

I knew that it would be beneficial to the country and the people to do this, but I couldn't do it.

After a while, Wang Xijue sighed, "I won't tell you, it is precisely because of this problem that I have the idea of going to it, and I also feel that it is difficult to support it alone." After a pause, he asked again, "Is there really no way to get it back?" ”

This is a question he seems to be asking himself.

It's really helpless.

Da Ming is already like a dying old man, unable to move.

Cao Ke hesitated for a moment and said, "Since Elder Zhang Ge, the only success of the imperial court reform is the tariff reform led by Guo Dan. Also, whether it is Weihui Mansion or tariffs, Guo Dan has achieved great success, and his system has been proved to be able to operate well, and now tariffs are a clear stream on the canal, and any state capital is not as clean as Weihui Mansion. ”

Wang Xijue frowned slightly, and said, "Don't you mean to learn from Guo Dan's method to improve the country's finances?" ”

Cao Ke shook his head and said: "It's still man-made, his system, the imperial court can't learn it, if any official goes to Weihui Mansion, even if it is Xiao Gui Cao Sui, it will make a mess, the meaning of the juniors, why not directly contract Guo Dan." ”

"Contracting Guo Dan?"

Wang Xijue was shocked.

Cao Ke nodded and said: "Don't hide it from Uncle Wang, in fact, the younger generation has been observing Guo Dan and studying his way of doing business all these years, and the reason why he was able to achieve today's success is actually to borrow the power of His Majesty and contract the departmental state finance, otherwise, as a businessman, it is impossible to achieve today's achievements."

As soon as the country's corrupt finances passed in his hands, they immediately took on a new look and burst into vitality, whether it was the initial horse farm or the later tariffs, and these were all state finances, which is also the reason why our officials have repeatedly failed in his hands.

When it comes to financial management, he is truly unmatched.

However, the imperial court can also govern his body in the way of others, contract the corrupt finances to Guo Dan, and then draw wages from the bottom of the kettle and contract Guo Dan to complete the rebirth. ”

Wang Xijue was a little foggy when he heard this, and asked: "I understand your reasoning, but the question is how does this Guo Dan contract?" ”

Cao Ke said: "The state treasury paid to acquire the shares of Yinuoya Bank, become its major shareholder, and finally start from Yinuoya Bank to reform the national finances. ”

"Acquisition of Yinuo Yaxing?"

Wang Xijue took a breath of cold air, and immediately fell into deep thought, yes! Why didn't I think that this would be the way of others, he could contract the state capital, and the imperial court could also contract him, as long as the imperial court controlled Yinuo Yaxing, then even if Guo Dan contracted more finances, all this was still in the hands of the imperial court.

After a long time, Wang Xijue said: "Although your method is very clever, it is also very bold, and the rest of the ministers may not agree, especially Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty will definitely not agree easily, but those ministers may not be able to speak."

"What do you mean by that?"

Wang Xijue asked hurriedly.

Cao Ke said: "The younger generation thinks that the imperial court can start from the Grand Canyon, because the production of armaments, in the end, is related to the safety of a country, which should not fall into the hands of a businessman, and the ministers also have reservations about this, and the younger generation believes that this can be supported by the rest of the ministers, so the imperial court can use this to set up an investment department similar to the tooth bank, specifically for Guo Dan to acquire." ”

Wang Xijue's eyes flashed a few times, and he laughed: "This time Guo Dan has met an opponent." ”

Cao Ke hurriedly said: "In fact, Guo Dan's methods are the real skills, and the juniors are just opportunistic. ”

Wang Xijue said: "You don't need to be presumptuous, Guo Danke is not less speculative." ”

......

East Court!

"This is Ke'er's idea?"

Shen Shixing asked Wang Xijue.

Wang Xijue smiled and nodded.

Shen Shixing glanced at Wang Xijue and said, "It seems that you are very supportive." ”

Wang Xijue said excitedly: "I think it is very feasible to start from the Grand Canyon, first of all, the imperial court cannot be controlled by a businessman to control the production of the most advanced firearms in my Ming Dynasty, which is reasonable, even Chen Younian and Li Sancai will support it."

Secondly, the production of armament orders affects the interests of many people, but at present they have no way to do this, but who can guarantee that the armaments of the Liaodong Army will not be put in the Grand Canyon in the future, after all, the firearms produced by the Grand Canyon are the best firearms in my Ming Dynasty, if they are controlled by the imperial court, then they can intervene in it and maneuver.

The only opposition may be Your Majesty, but in the face of the pressure of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, Your Majesty may not be able to hold on. ”

Shen Shixing thought for a moment, then nodded.

......

Qianqing Palace.

"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live."

"No courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Guo Dan raised his head and saw Wanli sitting on the chair, frowning, and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, is something wrong?" ”

Wanli nodded and sighed: "Today, Wang Xijue suddenly made a twist and turn, suggesting that the state should pay for the acquisition of the shares of the Grand Canyon. ”

"What?"

Guo Dan couldn't help but look shocked, he quickly understood, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be agreed, they want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of our victory, in addition, how can they use the state's money to buy private workshops, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”

I scolded angrily in my heart, you damn Wang Xijue, you actually stabbed me in the back, I admired you before, I was really blind.

Wanli couldn't help but look embarrassed and said, "Is this really that serious?" ”

Guo Dan immediately said: "Your Majesty, once they are allowed to succeed, there will be endless troubles, and they may acquire Yinuo Yaxing in the future, and they will be lowly... It is impossible for a lowly office to outweigh the state's finances by one person.

In addition, it will hurt our whole plan, once we have a shareholding system in other industries, then the imperial court can pay for the acquisition. ”

Wanli asked: "If the shares are taken out, isn't it just for people to buy them?" ”

Guo Dan said: "But if it is acquired by an individual, it is still a lowly position, but if it is acquired by the imperial court, the lowly position will be constrained by the imperial court, and it may be the court that has the final say, and the lowly position will no longer dare to be a joint-stock system."

The point is, this is not fair, if you want to contract a state capital, you will inevitably take off a layer of skin, and at present, it is difficult to succeed again, but the imperial court can buy our shares unscrupulously, and we can only be beaten passively. ”
