For Guo Dan, what he can do now is to collect information, because Wanli only verbally authorized him to participate in this matter, but there was no explanation of the specific matters.

Fortunately, Wanli didn't let him wait too long, because this opportunity is also very rare for Wanli, and he must do it quickly, so as not to change later.

Today, Zhang Cheng came to Kou's house in person.

If it weren't for Kou Shouxin's knowledge of this matter in advance, he would have to faint in fright, usually speaking, the eunuch came to the door, but there was nothing good, but now he came to be the leader of the eunuchs, how much of a crime he would have suffered.

However, Zhang Cheng didn't look at Kou Shouxin, after all, the status difference between the two was too far, he just came to find Guo Dan, so Kou Shouxin only said a few words of greeting as the head of the family, and then went back to the house very interestingly.

"How can the grass people deign to come here, and if the minister has something to tell in the future, just send someone to inform him." Guo Dan bowed his hand and said.

"You don't have to say these words, Your Majesty attaches great importance to this canonization ceremony, and there must not be the slightest mistake or omission, otherwise, you and I will not be able to protect our heads!"

Zhang Cheng's remarks are not alarmist.

In fact, he has always been skeptical about this matter, first of all, this is something that has never been done before, and he does not know how to operate at all;

Secondly, in many respects, it is also contrary to the traditional etiquette system, and the ancients attached great importance to tradition;

In the end, many people in the DPRK and China are against this matter, and if they are caught, even if they do not have to worry about their lives, they will have to cause a commotion.

He had to be cautious.

"Yes, yes, the minister's earnest teachings, the grass people must take it to heart."

Guo Dan nodded again and again, but he was full of confidence in this, because this kind of operation was about to be played by the group of capitalists in later generations.

Zhang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and said: "First of all, what I want to explain to you is that this canonization ceremony cannot be changed, after all, there is also a system in the palace, which cannot be easily changed." ”

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Of course, this is mainly based on the internal minister, the grass people are just assisting the internal minister, not hiding the internal minister, in fact, the grass people have never thought of changing the ceremony, because the grass people don't know much about this, but.... Doesn't Your Majesty want to be happy with the people? I'm afraid we'll have to make room for the 'people.'" ”

Zhang Cheng was silent for a while, and said: "This has to be carefully arranged, if it is not arranged properly, it may cause extraneous branches." ”

Of course, he knew that Guo Dan must have invited some wealthy businessmen, but the problem was that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military would participate in this canonization ceremony, and if you get a group of wealthy businessmen to stand behind, this will definitely offend the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, which is also a big doubt for him.

Guo Dan said: "That's what I plan, this 'people' is divided into agriculture and industry, then we will arrange it according to this level." ”

"Shinong Gonggong?" Zhang Cheng was stunned and asked, "Do you think this is appropriate?" ”

When Guo Dan talked to Wanli, he was also there, he knew that this "fun with the people" was just a slogan, but it was actually selling tickets, if it wasn't a wealthy businessman, would it be necessary to invite?

Guo Dan naturally knew what Zhang Cheng meant, and said with a smile: "I have thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, and I can't invite them all, so I naturally have to choose some representative, scholars, of course, those ministers and officials in the court to be representatives, and there is no need to invite them separately." As for 'farming', I think those big landlords are the most representative. As for this 'work', the two largest groups of craftsmen in my Ming Dynasty are silk and porcelain, and we can invite some owners of silk and porcelain workshops to participate, in fact, many of them are also craftsmen. In the case of business, it is natural that whoever has money will be representative. ”

"I see." Zhang Cheng suddenly realized, and after half a while, he suddenly laughed, "Wonderful! Wonderful! That's a brilliant idea. ”

After a long time, it is equivalent to inviting a group of rich and noble people to participate, but it is just forcibly named "Shinong Industry and Commerce", but the magic is here, if it is just a group of rich businessmen into it, this is too explicit, and the ministers will definitely feel very dissatisfied, they are usually ashamed to be in the company of businessmen, such a grand canonization ceremony, there is a group of businessmen standing behind them, isn't this used to disgust people, but if it is arranged by the hierarchy, even if they are dissatisfied, he can't say it.

Who wants to be dissatisfied, Guo Dan has to ask him, are you dissatisfied with this hierarchy?

If you dare to be kind, we will be equal.

They were unwilling to associate with the merchants, and they were not defending the hierarchy of the peasants and merchants.

Of course, they did not dare to oppose the emperor's request to have fun with the people.

It's amazing.

Zhang Cheng asked with interest, "Then what do you want?" ”

Guo Dan groaned for a moment and said, "Prime minister, the grass people hope that Your Majesty can be named the contractor of my tooth shop." ”

Zhang Cheng frowned and said, "The name of the contractor? What does that mean? ”

Guo Dan explained: "To put it simply, it means that everyone knows that our Yaxing is responsible for undertaking part of the canonization ceremony under the order of the emperor. ”

Zhang Cheng asked, "Why do you want to do this?" ”

Guo Dan said: "Prime minister, this matter is not a trivial matter, and it has never been done before, if not, this person is not right, and others will not believe in the grass people at all, and the grass people will not be able to do anything." ”

Don't get to the back, you'll be arrested as a liar.

Zhang Cheng nodded slightly, and said with a little doubt: "But this canonization ceremony is very grand and solemn, if I give you the name of the contractor, I am afraid that it will make people laugh." ”

Your sister, is Lao Tzu very embarrassed? Besides, Lao Tzu still has all five limbs. Guo Dan was secretly disdainful, but he said in a sneering voice: "On this point, the grass people have a different opinion from the inner minister. ”

Zhang Cheng hurriedly asked, "Do you want to tell me your opinion?" ”

Guo Dan said: "The grass people think that in order to be sympathetic to the country's finances, Your Majesty is willing to put down his body and use such humble businessmen as the grass people. ”

Is that okay too? Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and immediately pointed at Guo and said with a smile: "You kid is really clever!" ”

"The Prime Minister has won the prize." Guo Dan arched his hand.

Zhang Cheng said again: "But in this matter, our family still has to ask Your Majesty before we can give you an answer." ”

"Of course, of course." Guo Dan nodded.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Cheng left.

In the name of this contractor, if you don't get down for a day, Guo Dan will naturally find it difficult to make a difference, and naturally there is not much to talk about.

Guo Dan, who had just sent Zhang Cheng away and returned to the courtyard, found that Kou Shouxin was standing in the front yard and looking around the door, and when he saw that he was back, he hurriedly asked, "The prime minister is gone." ”

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I just left." ”

Kou Shouxin asked anxiously, "Then how are you talking?" ”

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "It hasn't been negotiated yet." ”

Kou Shouxin's face tightened, and he said, "For... Why? Was there something wrong? ”

"Not really." Guo Dan shook his head and said: "It's just that the son-in-law thinks that this is unfounded, and our businessman pays attention to the contract, so the son-in-law hopes that His Majesty can give the holy decree to the son-in-law." ”

There was a snap.

The cane in Kou Shouxin's hand fell to the ground again.

Guo Dan bent down and picked up the crutches, thinking to himself, it seems that it won't be long before his father-in-law will be able to leave the crutches.

......

After Zhang Cheng returned to the palace, he immediately reported to Wanli.

"Yes, yes, he was very thoughtful. I really didn't see the wrong person! Wanli nodded approvingly.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Shengming, this son does have an old age that does not match his age. ”

Wanli nodded, and said: "As for the title that Guo Dan said, it will be up to you to crown it." ”

Zhang Cheng's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he bowed down and said, "The old minister obeys the order." ”

This Wanli is not easy to fool, he has a lot of careful eyes, the meaning of his words is very simple, that is, money must be earned, but if you want to make a pot, you have to carry it.

In fact, the title of the celebrant is equivalent to the emperor's decree, because the eunuch is completely dependent on the emperor, but compared with the direct decree, the emperor has more room for advance and retreat.

If everyone thinks that this is inappropriate, it will definitely be the eunuchs who scold the celebrant eunuchs, but if everyone agrees, it is of course to praise the emperor Shengming.

In fact, the role of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, that is, for the emperor to take the blame, the emperor wants to do whatever dirty things the emperor wants, let the eunuchs do it, if something happens, they will be held accountable, of course, they have also benefited a lot, so from this point of view, Wanli's arrangement is also very reasonable.
