Everything was as Guo Dan expected. His refusal made the court even louder, as if he had decided to believe Guo Dan and even threatened Guo Dan. If Guo Dan did not accept this business, he would have to close the Marseille.

Fortunately, this is under the expectation, otherwise Wanli would have been panicked.

Marseille is definitely not shut down, it is the chicken that lays golden eggs!

Wanli sent Zhang Cheng to Kou Jiaya Shop to discuss with Guo Dan.

"Oh, no matter what you do, you're all very upset!"

When Zhang Cheng saw Guo Dan, he couldn't help complaining.

Guo Dan laughed and said, "Don't blame me for being annoyed, it's a good thing."

"What's the good thing? Now you and Your Majesty don't come forward. It's all our family who is busy with work." Zhang Cheng snorted.

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "I will never dare to let the inner minister work in vain. After this transaction is taken, there will be more money."

Zhang Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he wondered: "Our family really doesn't understand this. If you want to make more money, you can only cut corners like a businessman named Hu. But if you do enough, there will be no money to earn, which is not as good as Marseille."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "It's only a lot of money to cut corners. After waiting for a few years, he still risked his life and earned more than 100,000 taels. He can't afford to buy my cheap life."

"Your low life is really unaffordable!"

Zhang Chengle joked and asked again: "Then you talk to our family, where is the profit?"

"Industry standard." Guo Dan said.

“Industry Standard?”

Zhang Cheng was confused.

Guo Dan nodded and said, "This time I not only want to take on this deal, but I also want to make the best cotton armor ever."

Zhang Cheng wondered: "Then what else can I make?"

Guo Dan said: "I don't have much money to make, but if others do it according to my standards, they are afraid they will have to lose money."

"Why do others do it according to your standards?"

"Why don't the inner minister think about it? It's also the border army, and the cotton armor in this battalion is particularly good. Compared with the cotton armor next door, it's some garbage. The court allocates the same money. Will the generals and soldiers be willing to do it? And without thinking, you know that there must be something tricky about it.

But only I can do this. At that time, the transaction will not fall into our hands. As long as I can monopolize all the military supplies, even if I make small profits and high sales, I will definitely not be more than 100,000 taels. Besides, I can also produce civilian products. I have such a big market, and those cotton merchants and cloth merchants have to sell me cheaply. In other words, I have both the market and the supply of goods in my hands, so who can beat me?

At that time, as long as the inner minister engages in this business, no matter what he does, he will definitely make a fortune."

Speaking of the latter, Guo Dan smiled thornyly.

He doesn't need to hide too much in front of Zhang Cheng, because Zhang Cheng is also very greedy. Guo Dan just wants to tell him that no one can give you more than I can. We are just a trench.

"It seems that's the reason."

Zhang Cheng's eyes were slit in a crack. Although Zheng Chengxian would bribe him, that technique seemed too low in front of Guo Dan. For example, Wuzhao Gun's shares, how stable the money was, and he made it while lying down without any risk. He asked again: "Then what are you waiting for now?"

Guo Dan said: "I'm waiting for them to give me more orders. I have told Fang Shangshu and others that I built a shop to make this cotton armor. I can't say how many years to take a break. The court has to take the order and fill in my past few years."

Zhang Cheng's eyes shook a few times and whispered: "Guo Dan, this may not be a problem. If you just mention a few words, they will definitely agree."

Guo Dan hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by the inner minister?"

Zhang Cheng hesitated for a while before saying, "The Imperial Concubine and his family are from Daxing. They have a very complicated relationship in Liaodong. Jiang Yinglin and the others are definitely willing to hand over all the projects in Liaodong to you. After all, they are all from Jiangnan. These contracts to you will not harm their interests."

Judging from this statement, Zhang Cheng obviously gradually favored Guo Dan. Zheng Chengxian had to bribe many eunuchs. After the balance, he couldn't get much, and was far less than Zhang Jing. However, Guo Dan was different. Guo Dan did not need to bribe too many people, he just needed to bribe him, and at the same time it could also weaken Zhang Jing's power.

Guo Dan's eyes flashed a few times and said, "If this happens, the Zheng family will definitely fight back."

Zhang Cheng blinked, pointed at Guo Dan excitedly and said, "You kid is really smart. You figured out this truth so quickly."

Guo Dan smiled

After Zhang Cheng returned, he told Fang Fengshi and the others, but Guo Dan refused. If he wanted to close Marseille, he would have to pay for it. Our family had a good relationship with Guo Dan, so it was hard to say anything.

The implication is that I won’t be this bad guy, I want to do it for you.

Fang Fengshi and the others didn't force Zhang Cheng, you stayed there. This time they wouldn't run to Yashang in person, but instead called Guo Dan to the Censorate.

When Guo Dan came to the Censorate, his eyes swept away. Except for Fang Fengshi and Wang Jiaping, all of them were enemies, Jiang Yinglin, Li Zhi, and Huang Daxiao.

Never seen such an obvious Hongmen Banquet.

Guo Dan said, "Sir, I can take this deal."

Jiang Yinglin and the others almost bit their tongues. Why do you always don’t play according to the old ways? We have not yet shown our official power, so you are timid.

Fang Fengshi was stunned for a moment, then he said angrily and hilariously: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you changed?"

I have never seen you as sensible.

Guo Dan said very straightforwardly: "This is because I saw Lord Jiang and the others here, and I knew I couldn't hide."

Fang Fengshi kept twitching.

Jiang Yinglin lowered his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by this? Could it be that I am a sarcastic official who will bully the small ones for the big ones?"

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "If you don't force me, then I won't agree."

"."

Jiang Yinglin immediately petrified.

It turns out this is a crater!

Good boy, there are some tricks. Fang Fengshi smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang and others are well-read and reasonable, so they will naturally not bully you, but I didn't say that. I'll ask you to come to the Censorate today, and I'll bully the small ones for the big."

Guo Dan looked at Fang Fengshi in shock, "Sir Shangshu, I heard that you are an honest and honest official, compassionate with the people, and both civil and military. This is it."

Fang Fengshi smiled and said, "I also come to see people. I speak people's words when I see people, and I speak people's words when I see people."

Damn! Isn’t this my line? But I’m praising you, but you use it to belittle me. Guo Dan secretly glanced at Li Zhi and Huang Daxiao, “Two sirs, aren’t you the Censors?”

Fang Fengshi smiled and said, "They are the censors, and their power is to supervise civil and military officials, as well as officials from various prefectures, especially to monitor whether those officials have forced the people, oppressed the people, and bullied the small. If there is any offense, report to me immediately, because I am their superiors."

"Well."

Guo Dan immediately became depressed.

It's so satisfying!

It's so cool!

Li Zhi and Huang Daxiao really exclaimed when they saw Guo Dan’s depressed expression!

The boss is still cruel enough.

The boss is mighty!

Boss domineering!

This is what it should be to deal with Guo Dan. This kid is just a hooligan. He can only deal with a hooligan than him. The words of a saint have no effect on him at all.

Wang Jiaping smiled and said, "Guo Dan, we don't want to force you, but you also have to know how to repay kindness. Without the protection of the court, how is it possible now? You are the only one who can hold the Marseille, but many people also want to hold this Marseille."

Guo Dan frowned and said, "Mr. Wang said, but I don't know how to repay kindness. I can make less money or even lose money. But this matter is not just a matter of money, but there are many problems. Even if I do 100%, I may be framed by someone to cut corners."

Wang Jiaping said: "You can rest assured that this is the only way to supervise Fang Shangshu at this time."

Guo Dan said: "I am a businessman. I only believe in the contract. The contract must state everything. At the same time, there must be a very transparent and strict process to check whether the cotton armor is qualified. However, as long as it passes the inspection, anything will have nothing to do with me in the future. This cotton armor may be ten taels of cotton in the capital, and it is possible to give birth to a three tael in Liaodong."

Jiang Yinglin and the others were shocked when they heard this.

This is their line. No one has ever said that he would take on the court's projects and have to carry out a very strict inspection procedure to test his own.

Fang Fengshi nodded and said, "Of course, even if you don't say it, we will do this."

Guo Tan said: "But I have to participate in the development of the inspection procedures because I have to make sure I cannot be framed."

Fang Fengshi said: "Since you are a producer, of course you have to participate."

Guo Dan said: "I have another requirement, I will only make this order. This contract must be written very clearly. You can't find me next time."

Fang Fengshi frowned and just do it once, that is a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause!

Li Zhi said, "Is it just a Marseille game?"

Guo Dan smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, if I lose more than I do this order, I will take it as a reward for the court. But if I do it for me next time, I will really not be able to afford it!"

Wang Jiaping said: "This is a business, and the court will allocate funds to you as much as possible. This is calculated by the Ministry of Revenue. If you lose money, you may not pay it back. Maybe because the construction period is relatively fast, you will make less money, but the next time will definitely be better than this time."

Guo Dan said: "Sir, I said last time that I was worried about transferring this to others. I had to do it myself. I had to build a factory, recruit people, buy tools, etc. This time, I would lose money if I did it again, but I would have to do it again every five years. Then I would lose so much money every year, and I really can't afford to lose this!"

Li Zhi suddenly said to Fang Fengshi: "Sir, I think Guo Dan's words are not unreasonable. The officials think that if Guo Dan does a good job this time, he can make more cotton armor from the Liaodong border army for him."

Fang Fengshi actually had this idea. As the Minister of War, he knew the situation of the Ming army was very bad. Many soldiers fled and asked Guo Dan again: "What do you think?"
