This is obviously a showdown with the entire bureaucracy.

Now that he is rich, soldier and popular, when will he not raise a wave of fat house majesty at this time.

The key can't be hidden.

Now no one in the government and the opposition knows that the emperor is going to deal with them.

Moreover, he always had to give an explanation to his ministers, after all, he still had to rely on the government to manage the country.

And the focus of the war between the two sides is not in the north, but in the south.

The northern military town is under the control of Wanli, and the civilian officials do not have an advantage over there, you must know that the civilian officials and the military generals are also full of contradictions, and this time the military generals promised a key point of reform, that is, he is no longer suppressed by the civilian officials, and the key is that there is nothing in the north, and most of the materials come from the south.

If you can't control the south, you can't hold the north!

And the game of chess in the south needs Guo Dan even more, because the south is the economic center, and the south can't be messed up, and the south is in chaos, and the life of the capital is very difficult.

A no-tooth line!

"Alas... I'm really drunk, my husband went home from afar, but they were all newlyweds, like glue, I came back from a long home, as if... It's like you're still on a business trip......! ”

Guo Dan was in the position of general manager, looking at the two wives in front of him with serious expressions, and couldn't help but sigh.

As soon as he got home, he was forced to this son.

When you work, you don't want to die more than anyone else, and you're embarrassed to say this. Aunt Xu smiled and said, "That's your husband, you are a son-in-law." ”

"Poof!"

Guo slanted his eyes at Zhu Yaoyuan, who was sitting in the secretary's seat, and said, "Hey! Belle! I haven't entered your house yet, don't be too arrogant, sit down quickly. ”

"Yes."

Zhu Yaoyao's face turned red, and she sat down with some information.

Guo Dan's gaze swept over the elegant and noble Aunt Xu, who was as cold as frost and a veil, and was dignified and generous to Zhu Yaoyao's face? sighed: "The more miserable thing in this world than painting bread to satisfy hunger is to look at plums to quench thirst." ”

Aunt Xu immediately rolled her eyes.

Zhu Yaoyuan was puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Because the essence of this painting cake to satisfy hunger is not available and cannot be obtained, and the essence of Wangmei to quench thirst is there but not available?" Naturally, the latter is even more miserable. ”

Zhu Yaoyuan nodded slightly? I just think it makes sense.

Kou Zhuan Sha shook her head helplessly? "Don't talk nonsense, there's still a lot of things waiting for you to decide." ”

Sling the bull?

Zhu Yaoyao couldn't help but look at Kou Zhuan Sha suspiciously, and suddenly understood? Immediately, his face flushed with shame.

Guo Dan coughed lightly? Asked, "How much have we lost now?" ”

Zhu Yaoyuan hurriedly said: "According to our budget last year, the output of the entire Banzhou will reach 500,000 taels this year, but due to the turmoil in Huguang and Jiangxi? Causing cargo blockage? Only 100,000 taels of output this year? And investment in Banshu is stagnating? And the porcelain in Jingdezhen is unsalable? Our losses will be as much as 1,300,000 taels. ”

Isn't this a pure loss? It's just that I didn't make this money, and if I didn't make it, I lost it.

Guo Dan nodded and said, "What about their losses?" ”

Zhu Yaoyuan said: "The other party's loss is about 300,000 taels. ”

"Three hundred thousand taels?"

Guo Dan immediately sat up straight, looking very excited: "What did you guys do, didn't I write to say it?" Do they have to lose more than we do? That's how you can keep playing. ”

Kou Zhuisa said very innocently: "Can't blame us for this? Our profits and losses are all in business? Is this flow of goods very important to us? In Jiangxi, Huguang and other places, most of them are mainly agricultural, and the commercial scale is only a little bit? And local merchants do not sell goods, we will also suffer. ”

Aunt Xu said: "We have calculated that unless we destroy their farmland, otherwise, their losses will not exceed ours. ”

Obviously, it is impossible to destroy farmland.

"What a bunch of poor ghosts."

Guo Dan scolded fiercely, and said: "Since this loss is not equal, we have to find a way to end the fight as soon as possible." ”

Aunt Xu said, "Do you think this is possible?" After their defeat in the north, they shifted all their forces to the south. ”

As she spoke, she showed a map in front of Guo Dan, "Now they occupy Jiangxi, Sichuan, the northeast region of Huguang, part of the southern part of Nanzhili, and most of the rural areas of Fuguang Erzhou, while we control Banzhou, three important military towns in the south of Huguang, and coastal towns in Fuguang Erdi. ”

Kou Zhuansha said: "The most important thing is that they control the rivers in Huguang, Jiangxi, and Nanzhili, which makes it difficult for us to give full play to our advantages. ”

Guo Dan frowned and said, "In other words, we are now at a disadvantage. ”

Kou Liansha shook his head and said: "That's not it, at present, neither of us has a hard time, although we have suffered a lot of losses, but we are a group, these losses are evenly shared, and there are not a lot, and although their losses are relatively small, but for them individually, they are all heavy losses, such as the few big salt merchants who had to deal with us at the beginning, almost lost most of their territory, and the rich merchants who had close contacts with the local government were also attacked by us, and many of their shops were crushed by us." ”

Aunt Xu said: "But the problem we are facing at present is also very serious, that is, they control most of the countryside, and it is deep-rooted, and most of the interests are in the land, I can do everything, but it is difficult to hurt its roots, on the contrary, our business is everywhere, giving them many opportunities to take advantage of." ”

Guo Dan finally realized why as soon as he came back, he was pulled here by them to talk about business, the current situation is not very good, and frowned: "Can it be solved by force?" ”

Aunt Xu shook her head and smiled: "If the reform can be successful by using force, then no one will fail to reform since ancient times." It is conceivable that if we use force to solve all the landlords and gentry, then even if we can succeed, our Ming will be greatly damaged, so we still have to win the support of those gentry and landlords. ”

It's a matter of interest.

If you use force, then the other party will definitely use force as well.

The armed forces of both sides touch, and that's okay.

But if the force is used on the heads of the landlords and gentry in the world, it will set off a large-scale peasant war in the south, and even if it is won, the Ming Dynasty will definitely lose half of its life, and the fat house will stop beating with a small heart.

Since ancient times, so many smart people have not thought of using this trick?

It's not that there isn't, it's that it doesn't.

Either he will be domineering, destroy everything, and rebuild, but this is obviously impossible, in this case, Guo Dan will also destroy everything he has built, or he will still take the traditional royal road line, relying on strategy, just like the reform of the military town in the north, lobbying them to support him.

Guo Dan frowned and said, "Do you think it's possible to convince them?" At present, Weihui Mansion is not replicable, and the success of Kaifeng Mansion is also built on Weihui Mansion. ”

Aunt Xu nodded and said, "I think it's possible, and the key is the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions." ”

Guo Dan was surprised: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang? ”

Aunt Xu said: "At present, Nanzhili and Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are still neutral and have not been involved, and one of the very important reasons is that agricultural business is very important to Nanzhili and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and industry and commerce are also very powerful in the local area, even local officials, families are involved in business.

But at present, there are many magnates, bureaucrats, and gentry in the capital and Jiangxi who are putting pressure and lobbying on the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and once the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions fall to them, then the southern Zhili will inevitably fall to them, which will completely cut off the connection between the north and the south, and at the same time, the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is the granary of the Ming Dynasty, which will surely cause great pressure on His Majesty.

On the other hand, if we can get the support of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, the southern Zhili will inevitably fall to us, then Your Majesty will have no worries, and we will also form a situation of encirclement of Jiangxi and Huguang, and they will also bow down to us. ”

Guo Dan nodded slightly, pondered a little, and asked, "Then do you have a way to persuade the gentry, landlords, and officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to support us?" ”

Aunt Xu's eyes fluttered, and she smiled: "My solution is to dispatch my Xu family's son-in-law." ”

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

This time, even Kou Zhuansha couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Guo Dan didn't feel embarrassed at all, there are gains and losses in everything, if she is not the first son-in-law, how can she get these two great beauties, virtuous help, anyway, it is he who really takes advantage, this woman can only talk fast, when the time is ripe, the short tongue touches, she has to be soft, clapped her hands and smiled: "Clever plan!" Coup! ”

How to lobby is, in the final analysis, a matter of interest.

Aunt Xu is not impossible, but with Guo Dan here, she can't go to the class to get an axe, and she can't do better than Guo Dan, the key is that she is still a woman, and if she wants to go in person, it is very likely to be self-defeating.

But her strategy was undoubtedly correct.

It is basically impossible to lobby the landowners in Sichuan, Jiangxi, and Huguang, and it is very difficult, because they do not involve much business, they just continue to annex land, and they are very conservative in their thinking, hoping to get privileges, and they can easily stand on the opposite side of Guo Dan.

However, industry and commerce in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are very developed, and most of the officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang support the national policy of paying equal attention to agriculture and commerce.

The big business is in their favor.

They are resolutely opposed to driving Yinuo Qianzhuang and Fengchi Group out of Nanzhili, and even many officials oppose it.

But they themselves are vested interests and interest groups, and they are not willing to take back their tax-exempt privileges, knowing that a large number of officials are from there.

They have a chance to stand on Guo Dan's side.

The influence of Jiangsu and Zhejiang officials in the DPRK and China is huge, and at the same time, the local area is rich in products and a transportation hub.

In the case of controlling the nine towns of the border army, and then taking Nanzhili and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region, that is the real general trend has been decided, even if there is a small-scale armed conflict, there is no fear.
