Guo Dan came to Weihui Mansion this time, mainly to do two things, to create an external environment and to create an internal environment.

Externally, he is taking a long-range approach, pulling a gang, fighting a gang.

Internally, he adopted a quantitative policy to try to make everyone adapt to life in Weihui as soon as possible, as a village, you can keep your beliefs and traditions, but as a commercial city, you have to give up some traditions and beliefs, make everything popular, so that outsiders can integrate into the local area as soon as possible.

To put it simply, he is building a platform suitable for businessmen.

That's all.

He would never say, be a father and a mother, and teach them how to do business, or tell them how to develop technology, what looms, what steam engines.

He wouldn't, but he knew there was no need for it.

The emergence of these technologies is not occasional, but inevitable, as long as there is capital, they will naturally try their best to expand production, this man dies for money, birds die for death, even life can be thrown away, just a steam engine, naturally it is not a problem.

Who doesn't have a brain.

In fact, the humble training base is enough to illustrate the problem, this businessman is crowded, there are many workshops, but there is an extreme shortage of craftsmen, this is in demand, naturally there will be supply, and the training model will appear immediately.

If you take care of everything, then no one will use their brains, because there is no point in using their brains, you don't care about anything, they will find a way to solve it themselves.

After all this, Guo Dan was ready to leave for Beijing.

Five guns.

"Guo Dan, you came just in time."

When Guan Xiaojie saw Guo Dan's sudden arrival, he immediately looked excited, "Show you something good." ”

As he spoke, he handed over a picture album.

Guo Dan didn't even look at it, pushed it away directly, and said angrily: "I have been guarding like a jade for so many days, and before leaving, you are still here to tempt me." ”

"Hypocrisy!"

Guan Xiaojie immediately despised Guo Dan, took back the album, and said, "Are you leaving?" ”

"yes!"

Guo Dan said: "I'm just here today to ask you if you want to go together." ”

Guan Xiaojie thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back in two months, just before the New Year's Festival." ”

"Whatever you want." Guo Dan said again: "But Xiaojie, although you are young now, you are always soaked in the pile of women here, and your iron body can't stand it." ”

Guan Xiaojie said: "What do you know, I'm doing business, how can I be as filthy as you think." ”

"After a long time, I became filthy, which is really unreasonable."

Guo Danzhi rolled his eyes.

Guan Xiaojie said: "Don't believe it, do you know how much our five guns have earned in the past two months under my management?" ”

"How much?"

Guo Dan asked.

Guan Xiaojie snorted: "Ten thousand taels." ”

"How much?"

Guo Dan said excitedly: "Ten thousand taels? Earn 10,000 taels? ”

"Hmm."

Guan Xiaojie nodded arrogantly and said, "You wait for a while." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly returned to the back room, and after a while, he took out an account and handed it to Guo Dan, "Take a look for yourself." ”

Guo Dan really didn't believe it, took the account book and flipped through it, and said in surprise: "You have produced 20,000 copies in this month?" ”

"See."

Guan Xiaojie handed over the album in his hand again.

Guo Dan took it this time, opened it and took a look, only to see that the painting on it was the most luxurious suite in the Hot Spring Pavilion, and the women in it were all ... He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, his hips tactically pouted back, and his thighs were clamped, but unfortunately it was too long and ......

Can't look more, can't see more. Guo Dan hurriedly closed the album and handed it back to Guan Xiaojie, "You mean, these albums sold 20,000 copies?" ”

Guan Xiaojie nodded and said, "Do you know, my album was sold to Luzon." ”

"Rub! All went abroad. ”

Guo Dan exclaimed.

Guan Xiaojie said excitedly: "You can also say that, how about it, is it much stronger than your peerless elegance." ”

"It's so unfair to compare those who wear clothes to those who don't."

Guo Dan said, and put another hand on Guan Xiaojie's shoulder, "But you kid really has some skills." ”

"That's it."

Guan Xiaojie said triumphantly: "Do you know, just those courtesans in the Hot Spring Pavilion, now whoever we want to be the Oiran is the Oiran, haha.....!" ”

The most profitable workshop in the entire Weihui Mansion is actually a very low-key five guns, which even Guo Dan didn't realize, he didn't actually care, Guan Xiaojie was busy working, this guy does have talent in this area, the key is to like it, when he participated in the art exhibition for the first time, he was immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.

But later, Guo Dan stipulated that he couldn't show his neck down, and he didn't talk about art, but he didn't talk about feelings, which made him very depressed, but in Weihui Mansion, he didn't care so much, so he didn't want to go back.

These five guns almost monopolized the luxury goods of the entire Weihui Mansion, regardless of whether they were locally produced or imported high-quality raw materials, seventy percent of them were bought by five guns.

Engage in this kind of art painting, and paint it so well, there is no doubt that going out is a monopoly, and those spring palace paintings in the past have become garbage, and no one will resist them, and now the scholar class is also very rotten, and they themselves buy a lot of it and go home to study and study.

This time it spread from Jiangnan to Fuguang, and then from Fuguang to Luzon.

It's really invincible.

When I'm older and thick-skinned, I'll change careers and kick this guy out. Guo Dan glanced at him very jealously, and said, "By the way, don't transport this money back to Jingshi for the time being, and put it in Weihui Mansion, and I will use it at that time." ”

Guan Xiaojie nodded and said, "I know." ”

At this moment, Ji Gui suddenly came here, "Guo Dan, you are really here." ”

Guo Dan turned his head, frowned and asked, "Father-in-law, is there something wrong?" ”

Ji Gui just nodded.

The two of them came to the chamber of the five guns.

"What?"

Guo Dan was surprised: "Buying people's hearts? Horses? Iron smelting? Doesn't that mean I'm going to rebel? ”

"You'd rather be quiet!" Ji Gui looked left and right with a weak heart, and said in a low voice: "That's what it means, now this rumor is spread everywhere." ”

Guo Dan said angrily: "Does anyone believe this?" Father-in-law, you can see it, I can't do anything, how can I rebel? ”

Ji Gui said: "Of course I know this, but this person's words are terrifying, and if it is passed on, it may become true, so you have to deal with it carefully." ”

Guo Dan frowned and asked, "Who does my father-in-law think this is?" ”

"Who else could there be?" Ji Gui Dao.

"The eight lambs of the king."

Guo Dan scolded and said, "I still hope that my father-in-law will teach me how to deal with it?" ”

Ji Gui said: "I've seen a lot of this kind of thing, you must not compete with them on this matter, the more you compete with them, the more you will only smear and blacken, but you can't stay in Weihui Mansion for the time being, you have to go back to the capital quickly, as long as you are in the capital and by Your Majesty's side, these rumors will be self-defeating." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I'm also planning to go back." ”

"That's good!"

Ji Gui nodded, and said: "But Guo Dan, if this kind of thing happens, you still have to be careful, if someone always says this in His Majesty's ear, it will be very unfavorable to you." ”

This is actually a very common routine in officialdom, constantly creating rumors, constantly blowing the wind, then the person concerned will also feel panicked because of this, because he doesn't know if the emperor will believe him, many people will find ways to protect themselves, once they leave a way back for themselves, then there will be problems, since you have reservations, then the emperor will also have reservations about you.

Officials are very keen on this trick because of the low cost, it is completely based on one mouth, and it spreads very quickly.

Guo Dan has just left here, and the capital over there is already a lot of rumors.

Because Shilin is keen to talk about this topic, they are willing to talk about what is not good for Guo Dan anyway, and they control this public opinion.

A no-tooth line.

Office of the President.

"Alas... It's been a few days since I was born, but how could this kind of thing come out again. ”

Kou Shouxin said very depressedly.

Kou Zhuansha smiled and said: "Daddy, please rest assured, this clear person is self-purifying, I believe that it is impossible for my husband to do such a thing." ”

"But what a terrible thing to say!" Kou Shouxin sighed: "If this kind of rumor appears, most of them will have problems, so we businessmen should still do our duty to do business, and if we want to do something else, there will be problems." ”

Kou Zhuansha comforted: "Daddy, don't be anxious, this incident is enough to prove that they have nothing to do with their husband, so they made this decision, I believe that Your Majesty will never be affected by these rumors, because your husband has no power in Weihui Mansion, and it is all in the hands of His Majesty's people." ”

Kou Shouxin suddenly looked at Kou Zhuansha in surprise and said, "How do you know this?" ”

Kou Zhuansha was stunned for a moment and said, "Husband told me before. ”

......

This Shilin is already about to be high, doesn't Wanli know?

East Pavilion.

As soon as the cabinet meeting began, Wanli said: "Recently, I have heard a lot of gossip about Guo Dan in Weihui Mansion. ”

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "There are some." ”

"More than that."

Wanli swept his eyes and said, "What do you think?" ”

Shen Shixing and other cabinet ministers were silent.

They all knew that this was impossible, and it was impossible for Wanli to believe it.

But at this time, say a word more, if there is really a problem, then whether it is slander or true, they may be implicated because of this sentence, they have no relationship with Guo Dan and no reason, there is no need to say more.

There are also many people who sue Li Chengliang, but Shen Shixing will definitely help them speak, because they are originally on one side.

Wanli looked at Zhang Whale on the side again and asked, "Minister, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Whale said: "Back to Your Majesty, from the perspective of Wei Chen, this is impossible, it's not that the minister underestimates him Guo Dan, Guo Dan doesn't have the ability to rebel at all, this must be someone spreading rumors behind him." ”

Wanli nodded, and asked expressionlessly, "Then have you found out, who is behind the rumors?" ”

Zhang Whale replied: "This Weichen has not yet been ascertained, but in Weichen's opinion, these rumors will emerge sooner or later, and it is impossible to stop them." ”

Wanli asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Zhang Whale said: "Although this is unlikely to be true, everyone's worries are not unreasonable, after all, now Weihui Mansion is independent of all state capitals, except for Your Majesty, no one can control Guo Dan, what he is doing, the surrounding state capitals don't know, it is inevitable that there will be some speculation about him." ”

Zhang Cheng secretly glanced at Zhang Whale, and said in his heart, it's really murderous without seeing blood!

Zhang Whale said this, it is nothing more than two meanings, first, it is impossible for Guo Dan to rebel. Second, it is normal for people to suspect him, because Wei Huifu is already in the system, and no one can control him except the emperor.

At this moment, a little eunuch walked in along the wall and whispered a few words in Zhang Cheng's ear.

Zhang Cheng nodded, and said to Wanli again: "Your Majesty, Guo Dan has returned to Beijing." ”

Wanli snorted: "How can this be true, the rebellion has come to the capital, I don't know how many troops he brought?" ”

"Uh... Minister... The minister forgot to ask. ”

Zhang Cheng said with an embarrassed face.
