Chapter 163: Poor Wanli

Back in the box, the atmosphere was completely different, Chen Xusheng and Wu Guansheng's tone and demeanor towards Guo Dan gradually became friendly, not as hostile and unhappy as before, because they found that having such a God of Wealth was not necessarily a bad thing, at least every three or five days, they could come here to have a good meal.

For Guo Dan, he prefers this kind of atmosphere, if it is a serious meal with his boss, it is actually part of the work, to greet everyone, so that everyone is satisfied, this can even be said to be a science. But it's not that Guo Danqing is tall and unwilling to shoot this sycophant, he also started as a younger brother, but he didn't plan to mix with officialdom, and it doesn't make sense to pat sycophants or not.

After talking for a while, the wine and food came up, Chen Xusheng and Wu Guansheng began to focus on eating, eating meat and drinking a lot, they didn't care about bragging, this meal is rare for them, not to mention a year, a few years.

"Don't you drink?"

Guo Dan suddenly looked at Yang Feixu, who was sitting by the door, and asked.

Yang Feixu just glanced at him slightly: "I'm on a mission." ”

"Professional."

Guo Dan gave her a praising look, then raised the wine glass and saluted Tong Li, and said, "Head, I toast you." ”

Tong Li raised his glass and touched him, drank it all, and then looked at Chen and Wu who were eating wildly opposite, and wiped his sweat slightly, really ashamed! He whispered to Guo Dan again: "Guo Dan, you have also seen it, we usually don't have anything to do here, in fact, it's not a big deal, I know you're very busy, so you can usually not come, if there is really something, I will ask Xiao Wu to inform you." ”

"Thank you so much for your understanding, I'll give you another drink."

Guo Dan raised his glass again.

In fact, he has already figured out why Wanli arranged for him to come here, it is nothing more than to let him hang a post, not to let him dare to work as a Jinyiwei, his main duty is to make money for the emperor.

This meal lasted for more than an hour, I have to say, Chen Xusheng and Wu Guansheng can really eat, so many dishes, they were all eaten, when they went out, they both went out with their stomachs, and they drank 2525, the two hooked their shoulders and backs, chatting about the girls in the kiln, and they looked obscene.

When they came to the stairwell, the two of them suddenly shook their spirits at the same time, the obscenity on their faces disappeared, they became energetic, and they saluted very respectfully, "Gongzi Xing." ”

I saw Xing Quan walking up with two servants.

Xing Quan looked at them with heavy eyebrows, "Why don't you run to this third floor ......." ”

Halfway through his words, he suddenly looked at Guo Dan, who was walking behind, frowned, and then strode up.

Chen Xusheng and Wu Guansheng staggered to the side.

"Gongzi Xing."

Guo Dan bowed.

Xing Quan glanced at Guo Dan, as if he was a little hesitant, and after a while, he suddenly spoke: "When will you become a Jinyi guard?" ”

Guo smiled lightly: "I just took office today. ”

Xing Quan glanced at the flying fish embroidery on Guo Dan's shoulder again, "Your Majesty rewarded it?" ”

He is worthy of being a godgrandson and has insight. Guo nodded innocently.

A touch of unhappiness flashed in Xing Quan's eyes, and he glanced at Tong Li and the others on the side, and said, "You go down first, I have something to talk to Guo Dan." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Wu Guansheng and Chen Xusheng hurriedly went downstairs, but Tong Li hesitated slightly, but still followed.

Xing Quan's godfather is the governor of Dongchang, and the factory guards are very scared when they see him.

"Didn't you hear me?"

Xing Quan suddenly saw that Yang Feixu was not moving at all, and couldn't help frowning.

Yang Feixu glanced coldly: "You have no right to order me." ”

"You..."

"Gongzi Xing." Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Don't blame her, she is just protecting me by the emperor's orders." As he spoke, he whispered again: "Gongzi Xing wants to ask about Chacha?" ”

When Xing Quan heard "Cha Cha", he immediately didn't care about Yang Feixu and nodded.

Guo Dan said: "Don't hide it from Xing Gongzi, I have really tried my best in this matter, in fact, in addition to Xing Gongzi, there are many sons who have come to me, but I refused, because they are all married men, this is not in accordance with the rules, where do I dare to say it." Only Xing Gongzi matter, I personally inquired about it. But there is really no way, because Cha Cha's father is also her daughter, and his father is planning to recruit a son-in-law, of course Xing Gongzi can't be this son-in-law, and he doesn't have the guts, so there is really no way to do it. ”

Xing Quandao: "I don't need you to help me figure it out, I just need you to tell me their names and where they live?" ”

Wow! The poisoning is so deep, alas ... I really have a lot of things to do, otherwise, I can get you a few more bucks. Guo Dan was embarrassed: "Gongzi Xing, this is not in accordance with the rules!" ”

Xing Quan frowned and said, "That means you don't want to tell me." ”

Guo Dan said: "Please forgive Xing Gongzi, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't do this, I Guo Dan can have today, all by virtue of the word 'letter', if you lose your trust in others, then it will be a devastating blow to our tooth industry, and we will not be able to do Tanabata online dating in the future, it is really difficult to obey fate." ”

Xing Quan looked directly at Guo Dan for a while, suddenly laughed, and patted Guo Dan's shoulder: "Okay!" is really worthy of being the son-in-law of the Kou family, it is really not ordinary, since this is the case, then I will not force you. ”

"Thank you Gongzi Xing for your understanding."

Guo Dan bowed and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first." ”

"Walk slowly."

"Farewell."

After that, Guo Dan and Yang Feixu went downstairs.

When Guo Dan went downstairs, an idle man beside Xing Quan said in a surprised tone: "Young master, this kid is a toast and doesn't eat and drink, so we can't be polite to him." ”

Syllable!

Xing Quan slapped him directly in the face, and then turned around and entered the private room.

If he could do it Guo Dan, he would have done it a long time ago, he didn't even go to Yaxing during this period, and went to Guo Dan to ask for an understanding in person, but he happened to meet him today, so he couldn't help but ask. Because Zhang Whale over there had repeatedly instructed him not to provoke Guo Dan for the time being, because even Zhang Whale didn't know very well what status Guo Dan was in Wanli's heart.

In addition, when he saw Guo Dan wearing a flying fish suit, he also knew it in his heart.

As soon as he got out of the drunken Xiao Tower, Tong Li, Wu Guansheng, and Chen Xusheng, who were waiting at the door, hurriedly greeted him.

"Guo Dan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine!"

Guo Dan looked at them curiously: "What are you doing here?" Xing Gongzi is a good person. ”

"Good guys?"

Chen Xusheng and Wu Guansheng glanced at each other.

Are we talking about a Xing Gongzi?

"Isn't it?" Guo Dan asked rhetorically.

"Of course... Yes, yes. Xing Gongzi is of course a good person. Hehe. Wu Guansheng had a fake smile on his face.

Tong Li coughed lightly and said, "Guo Dan, we are going to go back, if you have something to do, you can go busily." ”

He knew that Guo Dan had a special identity, and he couldn't control Guo Dan's affairs.

Guo Dan sneered: "Head, I really have some things to deal with this afternoon." ”

Tong Li said: "Then you go busy, let's go back first"

"Thank you. Thanks a lot. Head, you walk slowly. ”

After Tong Li and the others left, Guo Dan suddenly asked Yang Feixu: "You don't seem to be afraid of Xing Quan at all?" ”

Yang Feixu asked rhetorically: "Why are you afraid? ”

In fact, Xing Quan really didn't have the idea of beating Yang Feixu, after all, she is the first beauty of Jinyiwei, although she is just a woman, but who can resist the temptation of this uniform, fortunately, Xing Quan cherishes his own life more, this thorny rose is really unprovoked, and there is no need to risk giving up the entire forest for the sake of a tree.

"That's right, why be afraid."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Let's go." ”

"Where to go?"

"The Chen family."

.....

When Chen Fangyuan saw Guo Dan, his mouth was long enough to fit two eggs.

"Yes, I am now a brocade guard, you are not mistaken, this is a flying fish suit, not stolen, it is rewarded by His Majesty, don't ask again, I have answered many times today."

Guo Dan really regretted wearing a flying fish suit, this flying fish suit was worn on him, it was indeed too eye-catching, he was an acquaintance, so he had to ask a few words.

Chen Fangyuan's mouth closed, and he arched his hand again and again: "Oh, this is really gratifying, virtuous nephew, congratulations, congratulations." ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Guo Dan arched his hand very perfunctorily.

Chen Fangyuan leaned over again and said, "Virtuous nephew, you are now a Jinyi guard, and this concubine ......." ”

"Stop!"

Guo Dan wanted to cry without tears and said: "Uncle Chen, if you want to do this again, I won't come to you if there is a big deal next time." ”

"Big deal?"

Chen Fangyuan blinked his eyes and hurriedly asked, "What a big deal?" ”

"Let's talk about it when we come inside."

Guo Dan said to Yang Feixu again: "You wait for me outside the door." ”

Yang Feixu didn't even look at him.

Chen Fangyuan noticed Yang Feixu at this time, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable for a while, no wonder the virtuous nephew didn't look down on my granddaughter.

Entering the house, Chen Fangyuan personally made a cup of tea for Guo Dan, and then sat next to Guo Dan, expectantly: "Virtuous nephew, what kind of big deal is it?" ”

Guo Dan said: "I need you to help me collect all the information about silk inside and outside the capital, including the silk that will arrive in the capital in the near future." ”

"Silk?"

Chen Fangyuan blinked and said in a low voice: "Virtuous nephew, the buying and selling of silk has always been controlled by the official teeth, if you want to buy and sell silk on a large scale, then you have to do it through the official teeth, you should know this rule." ”

Guo Dan sighed: "Don't you say that I forgot, by the way, help me collect information about all the officials inside and outside the capital, and which ministers of the DPRK and China are behind them." ”

Chen Fangyuan was immediately stunned.

What are you going to do?

Half an hour later, Guo Dan came out of Chen's house, and then took a carriage back to Kou's house.

Halfway through, I happened to meet Kou Yi.

"What a coincidence, butler! What are you doing here? Guo Dan lifted the curtain and said with a smile.

Kou Yi wiped his sweat and said, "Uncle, I came to you on purpose, and the prime minister is here." ”

"Insider?"

Guo Dan frowned slightly.

.....

Hurriedly returned to Kou's house, only to see that there were forbidden troops everywhere inside and outside the courtyard.

"What's going on?"

Guo Dan was startled.

Kou Yi said uneasily: "I don't know, if the minister doesn't say it, where do we dare to ask." ”

Guo Dan was also beating drums in his heart, and hurriedly entered the courtyard, only to see Zhang Cheng sitting in the hall, with two little eunuchs standing on the left and right.

"Guo Dan has seen the inner phase."

Entering the hall, Guo Dan bowed.

Zhang Cheng looked at Guo Dan and said with a smile: "This flying fish suit is quite good on you." ”

When Guo Dan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "The prime minister has won the award, but I think so too." ”

"You kid really hasn't changed at all." Zhang Cheng chuckled a few times.

Guo Dan asked cautiously: "I don't know what the Prime Minister is here today, what is the order, and... And with so many people. ”

"Don't worry, our family is not here to raid the house." Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "Our family was ordered to transport this silver back to the palace. ”

Guo Dan chuckled in his heart, this is even more terrifying than raiding his house.

This silver represents Wanli's fat legs!

Take away the silver, but you just withdraw your legs!

Zhang Cheng glanced at Guo Dan, and then said, "You all go down." ”

"Yes."

After everyone retreated, Zhang Cheng stood up, walked in front of Guo Dan, and said: "This silver nominally belongs to the inner treasury, and it can't always be placed here. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then whispered: "But what Your Majesty means is that for the time being, only 100,000 taels will be shipped back, and the rest will be placed here." ”

Come on. I'm going to swallow it all. Guo Dan said: "Prime minister, just go through the process, there is no need to ship back so much as 100,000 taels, the more money I have, the more things I can do, and the more I earn." ”

He also told Wanli about this truth.

Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Didn't you say it, this egg can't be put in one basket." ”

It also depends on whose basket it is, my basket has a lid and cushion, but it can't be broken. Guo Dan pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's only 100,000 taels, for Your Majesty, it's nothing." ”

Zhang Cheng said angrily: "Do you think Your Majesty really wants to transport this silver back, not to mention that you have to do a lot of tricks and feet on the account to be able to hide it from those people in the household department, and once the silver enters the inner treasury, the household department will look at it, but now the inner treasury really has no money, to put it mildly, Your Majesty is waiting for the 100,000 taels to go to dinner." ”

In name, the inner treasury also belongs to the household department, although Wanli wants to use the inner treasury money, they have no way, but the household will still supervise on the side, once the country needs money, and the treasury can not allocate money, the household will let Wanli open the inner treasury, this less than 200,000 taels, in fact, it is very troublesome, fortunately, all the people who take care of the inner treasury are eunuchs, which can be operated.

Dinner? Guo Dan was immediately stupid and said, "This is impossible, Your Majesty is so poor?" ”

Zhang Cheng glared at him.

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Prime minister, I... I didn't mean that, I meant ....... ”

"Alright, alright, don't explain, it's also true." Zhang Cheng sighed: "Otherwise, how could Your Majesty go to the trouble of talking to that Xing'an Bo for a mere 20,000 taels." ”

Speaking of this, he let out a long sigh again, and said, "You don't know, King Lu got married three years ago, but the entire inner library was hollowed out, and it hasn't been relieved yet." ”

This is indeed the most impoverished time for Wanli, and now he has not completely shameless, that is, he is crazy to send eunuchs to collect mining taxes everywhere, and because of King Lu's wedding, Wanli will be able to spend all the money, even the tens of thousands of taels copied from Zhang Juzheng's house, all of them have been put in.

Later, it was Concubine Zheng who gave birth to a child and canonized the imperial concubine, but it cost a lot of money.

Wanli really has no money now, otherwise, he really wouldn't have valued Guo Dan so much.

Wow! Who is this King Lu, just getting married, as for being so ruthless, he has emptied the emperor's money bag. However, this is not a bad thing for me, if the emperor is not poor, there is no place for me. Guo Dan immediately promised: "Please also ask the Minister of the Inner Cabinet to tell Your Majesty that Guo Dan will live up to the emperor's grace, and within three years, I will make the inner treasury full." ”

Although his plan is to swallow it all, but now that Wanli is waiting for the money to start a meal, what else can he say.

"This is like a sentence, our family will tell you about it." Zhang Cheng nodded, and said: "Your Majesty will come over some accounts when the time comes, and this silver can't be placed in your house, so as not to be noticed, our family will find another place to store it, and all the money earned at that time will be placed there." ”

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Yes, I know." "But I thought to myself, this emperor is really much more shrewd than I thought.

and sent a book office to supervise it, and changed another place to store it, Guo Dan is obviously a housekeeper who specializes in financial management.

Moreover, it can also be seen that Wanli does not want to deposit the silver in the inner treasury, but wants to use this to build a small treasury outside, so as to avoid the household department from filling the inner treasury and asking him to open the inner treasury at every turn.

It can only be said that this poor man's abacus is fine.
