Guo Dan knew in his heart that Wanli must have been very depressed in the face of such a big failure, so he prepared a piece of cake to stimulate Wanli, and it would be really self-defeating if Wanli was really depressed.

Sure enough.

The fat house is full of joy when he hears it!

Now compared to the Ming Emperor, he is more interested in the position of One Piece and the chairman of the grassland.

Because the Ming Emperor has too many shackles on his body, and One Piece and the chairman of the grassland are completely up to him, but he really refers to where to fight.

His attitude can also be seen from the matter of Cao Yun.

Although Guo Dan had already planned to hollow out Caoyun, he didn't plan to say it now, he would wait until the time was ripe, and then hollow out Caoyun step by step, it was Wanli who took the initiative to mention it, and he informed Wanli of the plan.

It can be seen that Wanli also intends to transfer all the state property to his own name.

After understanding the whole grand strategy, Guo Dan hurriedly handed over an account.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a daily gold!

Especially on the Tianjin Wei side, there is at least tens of thousands of taels of water every day.

The money bank is even more terrifying, in the canal area, basically seventy percent of the silver is operated through the money bank.

Wanli looked at these accounts and couldn't open his eyes with a smile.

After putting down the account book, Wanli said again: "Now I have sent a message to urge Ye Mengxiong to continue to put pressure on Yang Yinglong, I believe that there will be a fight over there soon, how are you preparing here?" ”

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, everything is ready here, during this period, our people will buy grain worth 500,000 taels in the Huguang area, plus the grain of Yinuo insurance, not to mention Bozhou, by the way, Dongwu will be cleaned up." ”

"Five hundred thousand taels?" Wanli's eyes widened.

It's distressing!

Guo smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, these 500,000 taels are spent, at least they can help us earn twice as much." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly found another account and handed it to Wanli, "This is based on some previous logistics data, our army has to spend on logistics, and the biggest loss is actually in the transportation of grain and grass."

In addition, the price of silver and grain in the Huguang area is expensive, and those big landlords seem to have never seen silver in their previous lives. ”

Wanli said: "That's true, but this can't double the earnings!" ”

Guo Dan said: "Your Majesty, this money should come from the imperial court!" I plan to use 500,000 taels of grain for 1,000,000 taels to pay the imperial court. ”

A million taels? Wow! You're even more ruthless than me! Wanli took a breath of cold air, his eyes flashing, "This... Will this work? ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, if you let the treasury allocate money, it is estimated that it will be impossible, but if you use the tax income of Banzhou to offset it, there should be no problem." ”

Wanli frowned and said, "Don't be careless, they may not agree." ”

"Your Majesty, you just have to agree."

Guo Dan said: "Your Majesty, didn't you say, most of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government do not want to use troops against Banzhou, and the treasury will not easily allocate money to Your Majesty, and they will definitely obstruct it in every possible way, Your Majesty, you can directly bypass the treasury at that time, and sign a loan agreement with Yinuo Qianzhuang alone, and borrow 1 million taels from Yinuo Qianzhuang to support the dispatch of troops to Banzhou, and then calculate the interest, with Banzhou's current tax income, then I really don't know what year and month you will have to pay back, and Banzhou will belong to Your Majesty at that time." ”

Wanli's eyes swiped upward, thinking for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, good!" I did it, and I had to do it, and I had to let them know this time that I didn't need the support of their pedantic ministers to do anything. ”

Guo Dan clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty will not be disappointed." ”

Wanli nodded with satisfaction.

Although Guo Dan painted cakes, which made him very satisfied, he still needed some sensory stimulation, so Wanli went to the vault to count the silver.

But for Guo Dan, this is really a kind of torture, he sneered: "Your Majesty, now this is just a small treasury, there is nothing to see, the real big treasury is in the Luwang Mansion, and the silver ingots over there are all one hundred taels and one ingots." ”

"Really? Hehe......! ”

Wanli was very happy to hear it, but he still carefully wiped every ingot of silver, which was an interest, not how many, a hundred taels he could count with relish.

Guo Dan was immediately depressed.

Halfway through the count, Wanli suddenly asked, "Why don't you see Yongning?" ”

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment, and said: "The lowly party has already sent someone to invite it, how can you .......!" Ask again. ”

He got out of the vault, and after a while, he came back again.

"What about people?"

Seeing him come back alone, Wanli couldn't help asking.

Guo Dan sneered: "Back to Your Majesty, she... She's rested. ”

Wanli frowned, stayed for a moment, put down the silver in his hand, came to the chair and sat down, after a long time, he suddenly raised his head, "Guo Dan, do you also think that I am too ruthless to Concubine Wang Gong?" ”

This imperial family affair? I dare to say anything. Guo Dan was silent.

Wanli waved his hand and said: "Just say it, no matter what you say, I will forgive you for your innocence, this matter has been held in my heart for a long time, and I don't know who to talk to." ”

Believe you! If I really want to say a few heavy words to you, you must not hold a grudge against me for the rest of your life. Guo Dan groaned a little, and said: "I believe that there is no hatred in this world for no reason, if those ministers keep their duties and do not interfere in Your Majesty's private affairs, Your Majesty will not treat Concubine Wang Gong like this, after all, Concubine Wang Gong and Your Majesty do not have any deep hatred." ”

Wanli's eyes widened and he looked at Guo Dan blankly.

Guo Dan hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty forgives your sins, humiliation is just nonsense......." ”

Wanli raised his hand and said, "No, you're right, I just didn't expect that you would be able to see this." ”

He nodded, "I admit that I didn't like Concubine Wang Gong much even at first, but I don't hate her, as you said, I don't have any reason to hate her, but since the establishment of the crown prince, every time I see Concubine Wang Gong, the words of those ministers have lingered in my ears, which makes me hate her even more, and I don't even want to see her again." ”

In fact, scumbags can't be used to describe emperors, because almost every emperor is a scumbag, and among hundreds of emperors, there are only a few freaks, after all, the feelings of this emperor are hardly pure feelings, which must involve the country, the court, and the emperor's love is also part of politics.

Whether you love someone or not, and how deeply you can love, you have to consider the views of the ministers first.

If the emperor has a hot fight with any concubine, the ministers must stand up and intervene.

Your dragon dew should be evenly distributed, and you can't give it to a concubine all the time.

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry with your own body for those people, it's not worth it." ”

"That's what I said, but I can't swallow this breath no matter what, I must give them a little color to see." Wanli's casual gaze suddenly became fierce.

It is impossible to admit cowardice.

Then he has only two choices, so stay at home and live longer than anyone, or come out to save face.

But now he can't stay at home, he must get this face back.

At this moment, Li Gui walked in and said, "Your Majesty, there is a secret letter from Guizhou. ”

As he spoke, he handed over a letter to Guo Dan.

Wanli was in good spirits, quickly took it over, took it apart, and after looking at it for a moment, he laughed and said, "This Yang Yinglong really didn't disappoint me!" ”

Before, he had always been a little hesitant about this, after all, this was a war, not something else, but now he longed for a war more than anyone else.

Guo Dan couldn't help but look happy, but it was about to start, and he hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what is the situation now?" ”

Wanli said with a smile: "Yang Yinglong finally couldn't bear it anymore, he repeated his old tricks, led Miao soldiers into Guigui, entered Sichuan, burned and looted everywhere, and it has made the chicken and dog restless over there, in the past, the imperial court could only send him to quell the chaos, and he often took the opportunity to expand his sphere of influence." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "But this time he never thought that he was the object of being flattened." ”

Wanli laughed and said, "I believe that Ye Mengxiong's request for help will come to the capital immediately." ”

The fat house finally did not count the silver in the treasury, and hurried back to the palace, this battle could not be lost no matter what, he had to prepare carefully.

Guo Dan was sent to the door, and after Wanli's team disappeared into the night, he turned around and suddenly found a shadow standing by the door.

Guo Dan sighed secretly, walked over, and said with a smile: "Go to my office and sit down." ”

Zhu Yaoyuan hesitated a little, then nodded.

When he came to the office, Guo Dan sat down and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao must have told you a lot of rumors about Concubine Wang Gong." ”

Zhu Yaoyao hurriedly said: "It's not to blame Xiao Xiao......!" ”

Guo Dan raised his hand and interrupted her words, "I don't blame Xiaoxiao, you are outside now, there will always be someone to tell you." ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, "Actually, I can understand why you don't want to see Your Majesty, this person is not a grass and tree, who can be ruthless, you don't need to feel any guilt about this, and you don't need to suppress your hatred and love, this is very normal, people are like this, I will think a lot about me, but you have to know how to face yourself, this is a sign of maturity, blindly avoid yourself, that will never be able to grow." ”

Zhu Yaoyuan's eyelids drooped, pondering for a long time, and suddenly, she raised her head and said gratefully, "Thank you." ”

Guo Dan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's a pity that there is only so much I can do." ”

Zhu Yaoyuan smiled again, "Actually, you have taught me a lot. ”

What she needs is simple, support, and it has always been.

Guo Dan's words gave her the greatest support.

The tragedy of Concubine Wang Gong, she is the most able to understand, she was also the woman who was ravaged back and forth by political battles, and even almost died, and Concubine Wang Gong's matter stimulated her a lot.

Of course, she blamed her mother and brother in her heart, but she felt that she should not.

She struggled with it.

And Guo Dan didn't tell her what you should do, but told her that no matter what you do or think, it's human nature, don't run away from your own thoughts, things have happened, you have to face them.
