This good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil, it is not that it is not not rewarded, but the time has not yet come.

I think that at the beginning, in order to avoid getting into trouble, Xu Menghui made a miraculous strategy and recommended Guo Dan, a tooth merchant, to Wanli, borrowing the talent of a businessman to collect money for Wanli, and also achieved miraculous results, and he himself retreated because of this.

But how long did it take for Zhang Cheng to return these words to Xu Mengxi as they were.

Therefore, Xu Mengxi had no reason to refuse, after all, this was the method he came up with, and it was successful, so when he returned home, he immediately ordered someone to invite Guo Dan.

In the past, Guo Dan came to the Earl's Palace, especially when he was invited, he always felt that it was not a good thing and he was in a bad mood, because he was bent on eating soft rice at that time, but this time it was different, he came to the Earl's Court all the way, and he was very much looking forward to seeing Xu Mengxi.

When Guo Dan saw Xu Mengxi's two national treasure eyes, there was an indescribable joy in his heart, you old fox can be regarded as having today.

"Boy Guo Dan has seen uncle."

"Excuse me! Excuse me! ”

Xu Mengxuan hurriedly stretched out his hand and signaled, "In the old man's place, those red tapes will be avoided, sit and sit." ”

He gestured to the chair he had stepped on.

"Thank you, uncle."

After Guo Dan sat down, Xu Mengxuan smiled kindly: "I heard that you are now serving in the Beizhen Fusi." ”

"Yes."

Guo Dan bowed his hand: "All thanks to the original support of the uncle, the kid has today, the uncle's great kindness to the kid, the kid is unforgettable." ”

But I thought in my heart, now is the time to repay you, I believe you think the same way, we all think together, can this thing be done?

Xu Mengxuan stroked his beard and smiled, and said with relief: "You can still remember this incident, which proves that the old man didn't look at the wrong person at the beginning!" Hehe. ”

"Uncle has won the prize."

Guo Dan nodded, and said, "I don't know what the uncle is asking for the kid to come today?" ”

"What? I can't come to you if I don't have anything to say? ”

"Not really."

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "It's just that the kid is afraid of affecting the uncle." ”

Xu Mengxi was slightly embarrassed, and half-jokingly: "It seems that you not only remember the kindness of the old man to you, but also remember that the old man did not support you at the beginning." ”

"Absolutely not."

Guo Dan immediately said: "Regarding that matter, I have always understood Uncle very well, even if Uncle didn't say it at the time, I don't want to pull Uncle in, because if it's just about me alone, then no matter how much trouble I make, it's just a small matter, and a small thing is easy to solve, but if Uncle is rolled up, it may become a big thing, and it's not good for me or Uncle I." ”

"It's rare that you can think of that!"

Xu Mengxi sighed and said, "It's a pity that the old man was still swept in." ”

He looked sad, hiding left and right, but he still couldn't dodge, he didn't expect that the culprit was sitting here.

"What?"

Guo Dan was stunned and said, "What does Uncle mean by this?" ”

Xu Mengxi sighed: "I don't know who spread the news that the old man recommended you to His Majesty, and also added oil and vinegar, saying that you are the old man's person, specifically for the old man to collect money, and now the old man is really speechless!" ”

This old fox, who is so cunning, is trying to fool me into standing in the same boat with him, and I am really sorry, and now you can only get on my boat, not me. Guo smiled lightly: "Uncle, this clear person is self-purifying, it's a big deal that Uncle and I don't get along with each other in old age, time can prove everything." ”

Xu Mengxi glanced at Guo Dan, old and dead don't get along, what do you mean, is this kid going to break up with the old man now? He said quietly: "It's not that simple, you don't know, you angered a lot of ministers in the DPRK and China about the exhibition, but they thought that I was secretly protecting you, so they thought that if they didn't eradicate the old man first, they couldn't retaliate against you." ”

Guo took a breath of cold air and said, "It's impossible, for the sake of me, a tooth merchant, to offend you, uncle." ”

"You can't say that."

Xu Mengxi waved his hand and said: "Although you are just a tooth merchant, but at the same time you are not in the court, as long as you are law-abiding, plus your majesty protects you, they can't do anything to you, but the old man is different, the old man is in the court, they have to find an excuse to deal with the old man, it is really simple." ”

Guo Dan said curiously: "Uncle, you often don't obey the law?" ”

"Ahem, ahem!"

Xu Mengxi was almost choked to death by this sentence, and said excitedly: "Of course, the old man is law-abiding and has been an official for many years, but he has never taken any money that should not be taken." ”

"Why is that? Guo Dan looked at Xu Mengxi with an ignorant expression. ”

Xu Mengxi sighed: "Do you not understand this matter in the court, even if you abide by the law, but after all, you can't be perfect, if they want to find an excuse, they can still find it." ”

Guo Dan nodded thoughtfully, and hurriedly asked, "What should I do then?" ”

Xu Mengxuan coughed lightly and said, "No matter what happened before, now we are in the same boat, and we should be in the same boat!" ”

You think so beautifully, you are now a backstabber, sheltering me and Your Majesty from the wind and rain. Guo Dan was flattered and said: "Uncle, how can I be virtuous, how can I be qualified to be in the same boat with you, uncle." ”

Xu Mengxuan waved his hand and said, "It's not a question of whether you are qualified or not, but we are already sitting on the same boat." ”

Guo Dan said: "Uncle thinks too highly of me, I am a small tooth merchant, and I have never taken a boat to cross the river." ”

Xu Mengxi sighed: "Do you think that if something happens to the old man, you can still be alone?" ”

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Uncle Mingjian, I never thought so, I always thought that even if you were safe and sound, uncle, if they wanted to deal with me, they would still deal with me." ”

The implication is that with you and without you, it makes no difference to me.

Xu Mengxi suddenly looked embarrassed, this is the case, they want to deal with Guo Dan, but they don't care about Xu Mengxi's feelings, and said: "In this way, you don't plan to be in the same boat with the old man." ”

Guo said lightly: "Uncle, I can't help me with this kind of thing, and if I join in, it won't be a combination of new and old hatreds, but it will drag down Uncle." ”

"The old man can't care about so much now." Xu Mengxi suddenly said excitedly.

"Huh?"

Guo Dan looked at Xu Mengxuan suspiciously, and asked, "Uncle doesn't want to pull a few pads, right?" ”

Xu Mengxi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Is the old man such a shameless person?" ”

"Not really."

Guo Dan shook his head, but scolded in his heart, you shameless old thief, even now, you still want to fool me into getting on the boat.

Xu Mengxi glanced at Guo Dan, knowing that it was more difficult to fool this guy, this kid didn't eat oil and salt, and he didn't eat soft and hard. So he retreated to the next thing: "If you don't want to be in the same boat with the old man, and the old man doesn't force you, then are you willing to think of a way for the old man." ”

Guo Dan smiled bitterly: "Uncle, I know very little about this matter in the court, no, I don't know at all, I really can't help." ”

Xu Mengxi said: "The matter of the court, the old man also knows that you can't help, but my Xu family is not muddy, if they want to deal with the old man, they have to find a good reason, this matter is also related to money, you can help the old man come up with ideas." ”

"That's it!"

Guo Dan hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know what is going on?" ”

Xu Mengxi sighed, and first informed Guo Dan about the stable.

Guo Dan listened to it and said in surprise: "Why don't you build a stable, is it because you have no money?" This problem is easy to solve, just give money. ”

"It's not that simple, it's a long story."

Xu Mengxi probably told Guo Dan about this Ma Zheng.

And to talk about this, the time for two incense sticks passed inadvertently, and he didn't say anything about the issue of the people and herdsmen, so he didn't have the face to say that the people couldn't play at all, because the people couldn't afford it, and it was purely a waste of money for the people.

In fact, the official pasture is almost the same, not to mention that the pasture is encroached upon, such as the bad environment in the northwest horse breeding area, are some exiled officials in the past, how can they be in the mood to take care of this matter, and the power structure of the Ming Dynasty is heavy inside and light outside, even if the local officials want to manage it, there is no power, in addition, there are several departments of Ma Zheng, Tea and Horse Division, Yuanma Temple, Taifu Temple, and a royal horse supervisor, who do not manage each other, and the management is very chaotic.

"Uncle, wait."

Guo Dan interrupted Xu Mengxi's words: "If you keep talking, I can't remember, how to solve so many problems?" ”

"Isn't it?"

Xu Mengxi said aggrievedly: "There are so many problems, how to solve them!" ”

When Guo Dan heard this, he felt that the fall of the Ming Dynasty was really irretrievable, and it had reached the point where the problem could not be solved, similar to cancer, and there was only one way to die, and said: "Uncle has no clue at all, so I have no choice!" ”

Xu Mengxi asked: "Don't think about these questions, you just say, if you were a businessman, what would you do?" ”

Guo smiled lightly and said: "If it were replaced by us businessmen, there would be no such problems." ”

Xu Mengxi was stunned suddenly, stunned for a while, and suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "That's right!" If you were a businessman, you wouldn't have these problems. ”

Isn't this just going to fall into the pit by itself? Guo said lightly: "That's not right! This is Ma Zheng, and it is impossible to change it to a businessman. ”

Xu Mengxi groaned: "But the canonization ceremony of the imperial concubine, it is impossible for businessmen to participate, since the canonization ceremony is okay, why Ma Zheng can't." ”

Guo Dan blinked and said, "What does Uncle mean, contract Ma Zheng to me?" ”

"Contracting?"

Xu Mengxuan blinked, and hurriedly asked, "Guo Dan, to be honest, if it is really contracted to you, can you have a way to improve?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Don't say that it is contracted to me, even if it is contracted to any businessman, it will definitely be better than now, this is a certainty, because there will be no such problems." ”

"Don't talk about other merchants, just talk about you." Xu Mengxi pointed at Guo Dan: "If you want you, what will you do?" ”

Guo Dan said: "I don't have any specific methods, but first of all, I will definitely make horse breeding profitable, let horse breeders become rich, and let rich people in the world raise horses, and the problem will be solved." ”

Xu Mengxi nodded frequently when he heard this, and said, "It's so simple, why can't the imperial court do it?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "This is not the same, my profit and loss from trading is my personal money, who does the money of the court belong to?" ”

Xu Mengxi suddenly realized, and said again and again: "That's the reason, you businessmen are trying their best to make money, and the officials of the DPRK and China... is also trying to make money, but they are all making money from the court, and the court is naturally losing money. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly said to Guo Dan: "If it is contracted to you, do you dare to accept it?" ”

Guo Dan said: "If it is just a simple transaction, and it is profitable, of course I am willing to accept it, I am a businessman, and I will not refuse to make money." ”

"Money is not an issue." Xu Mengxi was straightforward.

"Then I'll be fine."

Guo Dan's answer was also very direct.
