Chapter 110: Crisis looms for a monthly ticket.)
After telling them the location, Guo Dan repeatedly instructed that this matter should not be made public. The reason is very simple. Now our Yashang is helping His Majesty. At this time, it is reported that there will be changes within Yashang, which will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble. Although this is just a small matter, if His Majesty’s affairs are screwed up, no one can afford it.
Zhou Feng and the others immediately promised that they would never be leaked.
In fact, even if Guo Dan doesn't remind them, they won't say much. Who wants multiple people to share the cake?
Once this matter spreads, it will definitely attract the interest of many people.
However, there is no airtight wall in this world, let alone the Ming Dynasty where spies are rampant.
East Factory.
"This is serious?"
Zhang Jing turned his head and looked at the factory guard standing beside him with a deep eyebrows.
The factory guard clasped his fists and said, "When the governor comes, this matter is absolutely true. We saw the Jinyulou with our own eyes. The people from Zuixiaolou sent the silver to a small courtyard in the west of the city."
Zhang Jing asked again: "How much money is there?"
"The specific number of jobs is not yet clear, but judging from the boxes containing silver, each company should not be less than one thousand taels."
"OK!"
Zhang Jing immediately looked happy and then sneered again, "You little boy, dare to go against this governor. I really don't know the world is high. When you fall into my hands, I will definitely make you live worse than death."
He slapped Xing Quan in the face that day, but in fact he was also slapped in the face. It was so embarrassing to beat his own fucking grandson for a child. If he just let it go, where would he put his face? However, the emperor now attaches great importance to Guo Dan, so he can only endure it for the time being, but he has sent people to monitor Guo Dan day and night.
A middle-aged eunuch beside him said, "Master, why don't we catch people now, so as not to have too many dreams in this night."
"No hurry."
Zhang Jing waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty attaches great importance to this enthronement ceremony. If something happens, this Longyan will be furious and no one can afford it. Moreover... Your Majesty also needs his help now. If you go to arrest people now, you may fail. Let's wait until the enthronement ceremony is over."
As he said that, he said to the factory guard again: "Remember, keep a good eye on me. If there is any news, report to me immediately. Don't let them discover it, so as not to alarm the snake."
"Abide by the orders of humble duties."
......
However, at this moment, Guo Dan knew nothing about it, and he was still trying on his new clothes.
"How about it?"
Guo Dan turned around gracefully, looked at Kou Weisha in front of him, and asked expectantly.
I saw him wearing a black net scarf that was very popular in the Ming Dynasty and a jade-white robe. This robe is not very similar to the ordinary robe today. It must be at least two sizes small, especially the black stripes embroidered from the waist to the hips, which makes the whole robe look more slim and more energetic.
Before Kou Weisha could speak, Xier, who had just helped Guo Dan sort it out, said excitedly: "It looks so good. Son-in-law, please look more handsome when you wear this new clothes."
"Xi'er, can you speak?"
Guo Dan looked at Xier depressedly and said, "You should say that this ordinary robe will immediately look unique when worn by my son-in-law."
Xi'er laughed a little, she was so innocent that she couldn't say such an unwilling thing.
Kou Weisha smiled and said, "Aren't you going to the palace today? Don't talk to me here."
Guo Dan said seriously: "The most important thing today is to please others."
"...Well, it looks pretty good." Kou Weisha nodded helplessly.
"It's good that the lady likes it. Well, let's go out first for your husband."
Guo Dan laughed and went out.
In fact, like Kou Weisha, he has no high requirements for clothes. When he was resting, he used to be jeans and T-shirts, or big shorts and flip-flops, and his hair was also messy. But when he was working, he would become very self-disciplined, and he must have a lot of suits, tie, and watches, and the requirements were very high, because he felt that this was also part of the work. When you communicate with others, your clothes were actually part of the communication, and it also reflected your working status.
After leaving the house, Guo Dan took a carriage to the imperial city.
Because many things cannot be carried out on the Three Musketeers, just like those jewelry that cannot be taken out, they can only be carried out in the palace.
When he arrived at the imperial city, Zhang Cheng was already waiting at the door.
"Yo! Just put it on!"
When Zhang Cheng saw Guo Dan, his eyes lit up. He saw the embroidered pattern on the robe, and immediately joked.
Guo Dan naturally knew that he was implying the matter of clothes, chariots and horses, and bowed: "Let everyone laugh."
Zhang Cheng looked at Guo Dan and nodded and praised: "But it's really good."
This is a truth, because Guo Dan dresses so ordinary, but his foundation is actually pretty good, so if you dress up now, it will naturally make people shine.
But Guo Dan felt it was very strange when he was praised by an old eunuch, and he had goose bumps, so he just said a few humility and followed Zhang Cheng into the imperial city.
While walking, we talked about the ceremony of the enthronement ceremony.
Halfway through the journey, I suddenly saw a man in his thirties, with a straight waist and a dressed in an official uniform walking across the street.
"The lower official has met the inner minister."
When the official came to Zhang Cheng, he bowed, but there was no respect on his face.
"So it was Jiang, it was such a coincidence."
Zhang Cheng just nodded with a smile.
This person is a servant of the household registration department, and Jiang Yinglin was a Jinshi from the previous year.
Jiang Yinglin suddenly glanced at Guo Dan, and saw that he was not wearing official uniforms or eunuch uniforms, and couldn't help but say curiously: "Who is this?"
Zhang Cheng said oh, "He is the tooth merchant in Mashi Street, and their tooth merchants also participated in the enthronement ceremony." As he said that, he said to Guo Dan again: "Guo Dan, why don't you see Jiang Jiaju?"
Guo Dan hurriedly saluted: "Caomin has seen Jiang Zuiju."
"snort!"
Jiang Yinglin's face immediately darkened and he snorted coldly: "When will my imperial city of the Ming Dynasty fall to the point where even a small tooth merchant can enter and exit at will? It's so outrageous." After that, he shook his sleeves and left angrily.
Damn! So arrogant? Guo Dan immediately said to Zhang Cheng: "Inner Principal, this person is so bold. He is so unpretentious to give you face to the Inner Principal."
"Your provocation is useless to our family." Zhang Cheng laughed, not caring at all.
Damn it, this eunuch actually fell in love with military tactics, which is really a headache. Guo Dan smiled and said, "The inner world is really a misunderstanding. I have no intention. I am often ridiculed by others outside and I am used to it. In fact, he is quite gentle. I just don't get used to seeing the inner world being thrown away."
"These censors have harder necks than their mouths. What can we do?" Zhang Cheng smiled helplessly and said, "But you have to be careful."
These six subjects are actually the leader of censors and the ones who can yell the most. Although their official positions are not high and only a seventh-rank official, because the Ming Dynasty had a censor system, they had a very strong voice, and no one in the court dared to scold them.
I have to be careful? I just came here for a walk, and did I step on their tails? Guo Dan suddenly remembered that Liu Xunmou had told him that these censors were very opposed to the emperor's enthronement of the imperial concubine. He immediately understood, oh, it turned out that it was because of this.
Zhang Cheng glanced at Guo Dan and smiled and said, "It seems you know a lot!"
Guo Dan was slightly stunned and sighed: "It's a pity that I didn't think of this before."
Zhang Cheng said curiously: "What are you going to do when you think of you?"
Guo Dan said: "Of course I'm going to fight back. These guys are really ungrateful. Who is the imperial concubine of His Majesty? I care about their affairs. It's really a dog who is used to meddle in other people's business."
Zhang Cheng immediately looked at Guo Dan with admiration. This kid is really unique. He actually wants to talk to the censor. He is very brave. He laughed and said, "Don't regret it, maybe there are opportunities in the future."
It's nothing more than a hint that Guo Dan, they may not let you go.
"Is that true?" Guo Dan said happily: "That's good, I wonder if the inner minister has his family's ancestral genealogy?"
Zhang Cheng said in surprise: "What do you want his ancestral tree?"
Guo Dan said: "I usually start to curse people from the other party's ancestors for the eighteen generations."
"Haha...If you really dare to scold them, our family will find their ancestors for you even if they try their best." Zhang Cheng laughed so happily, and waved the dust again, "Okay, okay, don't show off your power, go quickly, we still have a lot to do today."
Zhang Cheng first took Guo Dan to Wuying Hall, which is usually the place where court painters work, and carvings and printing plates are also here.
I saw many painters carefully painting pieces of jewelry, and even Zhang Cheng didn't know that he was coming.
Zhang Cheng did not bother them, and took Guo Dan around and asked, "What do you think?"
Guo Dan nodded repeatedly and said, "I am worthy of being a court painter. I painted it so vividly, amazingly, and amazingly."
"You have some knowledge." Zhang Cheng smiled proudly. The Wuying Palace was in charge. He said, "But Guo Dan, don't blame us for not reminding you that these jewelry were prepared for the imperial concubine. Not to mention ordinary people, even the children of ministers in the court are not available."
Guo Tan smiled and said, "Please rest assured, if you use it, I won't dare to cooperate with those jewelry merchants."
Zhang Cheng said curiously: "Why is this?"
Guo Dan said: "This folk craft is not as good as the palace. When people want to buy exactly the same ones, those jewelry merchants can't take them out. Then we will become liars."
Zhang Cheng frowned and said, "This is the reason, but why do we become more confused as we listen to it? How did you convince those jewelry merchants to donate money?"
Guo Tan smiled and said, "This is very simple. The imperial concubine is naturally the best. So ordinary people should use it one level or several levels. Isn't this just right? I told them that they can use these jewelry as templates and then make a series, as long as it is a bit similar."
"Oh... our family understands." Zhang Cheng suddenly realized and pointed at Guo Dan and said, "You kid are really smart enough."
