God Horse?

Three hundred thousand taels, you just agreed in one go?

This doesn't look like the emperor we know!

You didn't let go of the thousands of taels in the minister's house in the past.

"His Majesty."

Shen Shixing suddenly woke up and hurriedly said, "This is not possible!"

If pure 300,000 taels of silver is really a sum for the national treasury. The income from sterling silver for the national tax on a year is only 4 million taels, which is equivalent to taking out nearly one-tenth of the tax to pay a merchant. Many policies will be affected, and other ministers will not agree.

Are you crazy?

Seeing Shen Shixing's panicked expression, Zhang Cheng almost laughed out loud, and at the same time gave Guo Dan ten thousand thumbs in his heart. This move was really amazing.

"Why is this?" Wanli looked at Shen Shixing in surprise and said, "Don't you always warn me that this person will not establish without trust, and a career will not prosper without trust. If the country does not have trust, it will decline. Since the court signed a contract with Guo Dan and stated the compensation matters in the contract, of course, compensation should be paid as promised. If you do not have faith, how can you convince the public? My Ming Dynasty will decline."

At this moment, he was in a rushing mood, and he felt that he was invincible.

Continuing to execute the contract is a long and steady flow. If the court unilaterally breaks the contract, it will instantly earn 300,000 taels. This requires several Zhang Juzheng to copy. The key is that in the future, you can find an excuse to start the Marseille.

What a book about Wanli!

Shen Shixing, who was full of knowledge, was exhausted for a while and didn't know what to say. The saint said was his catchphrase. He advocated conquering people with virtue. This time, Wanli gave him the same way, which made him a little unbearable.

If he is shameless this time, then Wanli will be even more shameless in the future, such as the matter of establishing a crown prince.

Wang Xijue suddenly said: "Your Majesty, we are not going to unilaterally break the contract. We just hope that Guo Dan will close Marseille."

"That's how it works!"

Wanli looked at Guo Dan again and said, "You have heard what Guo Dan, Grand Secretary Wang said. Are you willing to close Marseille? Oh, don't be afraid. My ministers are all wise people and will never bully the small ones. If you don't want to, the court will naturally compensate you."

Wang Xijue only felt that this was strange. Who are you on the same side?

Xu Guo said kindly: "Guo Dan, the court will naturally not let you lose money. The court will provide you with the money you spend in this matter."

This kid won't fall into the trap, right? Wanli quickly winked, as if saying, "You can't agree."

Wang Jiaping and Zhang Jing saw it, and they felt so depressed.

What the hell are you doing?

The king of your country actually wants merchants to make money from the treasury.

Of course Guo Dan would not agree. He smiled and nodded and said, "Caomin knows that all the adults are reasonable people. Caomin only wants to ask you one question. If Caomin did not complete the task, what would the end of Caomin?"

Before Shen Shixing and the others spoke, Wanli said seriously: "Of course I will be asking you for your fault. This horse politics is a major event in the country, so it is not a joke. I made an exception and allowed the ranch to contract you, but I was under great pressure. If you cannot complete the task, it will make everyone in the world laugh at me. I will never spare you."

Speechless!

Shen Shixing and the others were all looking at Wanli speechlessly.

There is nothing more shameless than this!

Guo Dan bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise, so do Caomin thinks."

"this......"

Wanli pretended to be embarrassed and looked at Shen Shixing and others.

Shen Shixing and the others have the desire to die. You have said that, what else can we say?

Wang Jiaping suddenly asked, "You really spent 100,000 taels?"

He looks serious and majestic.

Scaring me? Scaring me in my bgm? What are you kidding? Guo Tan smiled: "Sir, 100,000 taels are just the approximate budget of Cao people. The specific compensation will naturally be determined according to the contract. Cao people will also provide corresponding proof. The amount is as much as it is. Cao people are just a civilian, so how dare they blackmail the court."

Isn't this blackmail?

Even the governor of the East Factory is not as cruel as you!

It's 300,000 taels to open your mouth.

Seeing that Guo Dan was fearless, Wang Jiaping felt unsure.

If we talk about the contract, it is Guo Dan's bgm. The contract was drafted by Guo Dan and belongs to the capitalists. Of course, it is beneficial to the capitalists. However, they do not understand business and seem reasonable, but in fact there is a lot of mystery.

Guo Dan said that he would be less than 300,000 taels. He could really count to 400,000 taels, anyway, he just couldn't afford to pay.

"I don't think you don't have the courage," said Wanli: "Then let's figure it out first. The matter will be supervised by the Sili Supervisor, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Taipu Temple."

Silijian? Taipu Temple? Ministry of Revenue?

This is a two-for-one situation!

Then don’t get the whole 400,000 taels.

Shen Shixing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this matter needs to be discussed for a long time."

Wanli said a little impatiently: "My dear, these black and white words are simple, so why should I make a long-term plan?"

Shen Shixing was extremely depressed. Wanli and Guo Dan cooperated perfectly, and one was the emperor and the other was a businessman. This combination had never been seen before, and he didn't know how to deal with it for the time being.

After a moment of passing, he sighed and said, "How about this, it would be a Marseille held once a month."

"One month?"

When Wanli opened his eyes, he almost broke out. Fortunately, he held back and asked Guo Dan again: "It's feasible?"

"feasible."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "According to the contract, if Party B does not violate any violations, Party A must pay compensation if he wants to interfere with the Marseille competition system. It is not impossible to hold it once a month, but the court must provide two to three times the subsidy every year."

Wang Xijue wondered: "All these are written?"

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Page 8, Article 28."

Wang Jiaping said angryly: "It's really outrageous. Who decided this? If you kill someone and set fire, the court cannot intervene?"

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "If there is any violation, the court can certainly control it and punish it. However, the contract says that if the court wants to interfere with the internal management and planning of Marseille, it will need to provide more subsidies. This is because the grass people contracted these pastures in order to share the worries for the king. Therefore, the profits in this are not very high. Each step must be accurately calculated. Only once every seven days can the grass people make a profit. If it changes, it will naturally give more subsidies."

Wanli was stunned when he heard this, and the invincibility was bursting out again. No matter how you calculate it, you can't lose money!

Wonderful! Wonderful!

Wang Jiaping frowned slightly, as if he had a little impression. This clause seemed to have been discussed at the time.

The purpose is to ensure that the ministers in the court cannot destroy the operation of Marseille with their power, thus preventing Guo Dan from completing the task. When Guo Dan proposed it, Xu Mengding strongly supported it and the cabinet agreed. It sounded reasonable, but he did not expect that today would be.

Of course, it also states that the court has the power of supervision and will be punished if it violates the law. But the problem is that Guo Dan did not violate the law. So far, everything Guo Dan did is based on the contract.

But if you give double or even triple subsidies, then a fool can complete the task. This contract is another ten-year period, and the court will die of losses.

This is impossible to agree.

These old drivers who play with pens actually fell into such a big frustration on the black paper and white characters.

It's really embarrassing.

Shen Shixing closed his eyes and sighed, then said to Wanli: "Your Majesty, this matter is a matter that the ministers are not considering. Since the court has spoken first, it is naturally impossible to speak without trust."

Wanli said: "That's not considered a lack of faith. Don't it state that the contract can be terminated, but the other party needs to be compensated."

Shen Shixing's old face turned red and said to the truth: "But if he had to pay 300,000 taels of compensation, it would be difficult for the court to afford it."

"That's how it works!"

Wanli was a little disappointed, but he couldn't tease them anymore. He looked at Guo Dan again and joked: "Guo Dan, let you go for a waste of time. Do you want to compensate me?"

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "The people who are in charge of the people are not afraid. The two sides should maintain exchanges. If there are any problems, everyone will discuss and resolve them. This is the matter of the people who are in charge. In the future, the people who are in charge of the people may have to come and trouble the court frequently."

Wanli snorted: "Then you take your leave."

"The grass-roots people leave." Guo Dan quickly left.

After Guo Dan surrendered, Wanli glanced and said, "I held a cabinet meeting today. I wanted to talk to you about government affairs with you, but I never thought, alas... Forget it, I am a little tired, so let's stop today's meeting."

As he said that, he got up and walked towards the gate.

Shen Shixing quickly gave a great gift, "I respectfully send you Your Majesty, long live my emperor..."

Everyone looked embarrassed.

Wang Jiaping's face was as red as a monkey's butt. He didn't talk about anything serious, but he turned aside for a long time and was still accused of being untrustworthy. More importantly, if Wanli didn't hold a meeting next time, it would be reasonable to say it.

This time I really lost my wife and my army!

In this matter, the censor group stood firmly with them, so Huang Daxiao and the others were waiting for news in Dongge.

Seeing that Shen Shixing had come back, he hurried forward to ask.

"Three hundred thousand taels?"

After hearing this, Huang Daxiao couldn't help but be furious: "He Guo Dan is so brave that he actually asked the court for compensation. Could it be that all the lords will let him openly provoke the majesty of the court?"

Xu Guodao: "But the contract is clearly written. What can we say even if it is clear."

"It's just a contract. How can it be compared with the long-term stability of the country? There are differences in all matters!"

"Since that's the case, we can only compensate you. You can't let us advise Your Majesty that it is right to go against your word without trust."

"How can this be said to be without trust? It is obvious that Guo Dan had premeditated it. Who knew that the Marseille would be so crazy at that time?"

"You're right, Guo Dan did plan ahead."

Shen Shixing shook the thick contract in his hand. This time he came back, he didn't pay attention to Huang Daxiao and others. He quickly found the contract and looked at it carefully. Today they lost because of this contract. He heard him say: "This time we lost, it's not unfair to lose. Guo Dan took everything into consideration very carefully and wrote it into the contract. We never thought about it carefully. He always thought that we were ministers in the court and he was just a small businessman. We had the final say in this matter. Therefore, if we blamed it, we can only blame ourselves for not considering it carefully at the beginning."

Seeing that Huang Daxiao and the others refused to give up, Xu Guo said bluntly: "Your Majesty also believes that since the court signed a contract with Guo Dan, the contract should be strictly enforced and cannot go back on his word. You may as well think about it. If this matter can go back on his word, then can the matter of the country be abolished and established the eldest child?"

Huang Daxiao and their eyes opened.

If that's the case, then let's just forget it.

Although Wanli did not express this meaning, who can guarantee that Wanli would not take advantage of the issue? This is the critical time for establishing the crown prince.

Jiang Yinglin suddenly said, "So I said, I have to urge Your Majesty to make the eldest son the crown prince."

You took advantage of the issue first. Shen Shixing said: "Even if this is the case, if the court goes back on its word, Your Majesty can go back on its word at that time. Let's explain the matter of Marseille first."

Wang Jiaping asked: "Did the Prime Minister think of a solution?"

Shen Shixing said with great pain: "At present, I can only talk to Guo Dan for a good person."
