This wedding painting was a great success as soon as it was launched, and even concealed the light of tradition. During this year's Lantern Festival, everyone's attention was on the album, not the lantern market or fireworks.

But as far as the Xu family proposes marriage, marriage paintings only have the effect of fueling the fire.

Although Xu Jirong has dominated the "first waste in the capital" for many years, there have been many people who have proposed marriages. Nothing else is because the Xu family has a great career, from grain to silk, tea to wine, as long as it is closely related to the lives of the people, the Xu family has almost all involved. Otherwise, Xu Jirong would not be able to make a fortune like this.

Throughout history, family marriages are inevitable. No matter who it is, if you get such a great financial support from the Xu family, it would be a great wing.

No matter how Xu Mengchong is in charge of Taipu Temple.

The key is that this guy is still a single passerby in the ninth generation, and the money is all his.

As for talent and loyalty in the face of money, it seems insignificant.

However, in the past, my parents wanted to marry the Xu family. Now that the marriage was drawn, the girl was willing to marry into the Xu family, which led to a sudden increase in the enthusiasm for coming to the Xu family to seek intimacy.

But Xu Mengchong and Xu Jirong and his grandson have always refused, and this time is no exception.

While Xu Mengchong was furious, the gate of five guns was almost bursting. Young people were eager to enter the picture album. Married people also came to inquire if they could help them draw a wedding painting.

But they all have to line up.

Zhu Yiliu, Guan Xiaojie and the others naturally get the moon first, followed by the Qixi Festival couple. As long as they are willing, Wudiao will help them draw a wedding painting for free. This is a surprise for those Qixi Festival couples.

I can only say that they made a profit, but Guo Dan lost money.

However, the end of the Lantern Festival also indicates that the holiday is approaching, and officials have to start work again. They live a very hard life, and they have only had dozens of days off!

As the emperor, Wanli could not work with them. Living this hard life must have the emperor's exclusive personality. Therefore, the first court meeting in the fifteenth year of Wanli was naturally cancelled by Wanli.

As ministers, we are naturally very wronged. We are all at work, and it is really outrageous if you want to rest.

The memorial flew to the cabinet like snowflakes.

Almost all of them asked Wanli to be crowned the crown prince. After all, the eldest son Zhu Changluo Xu was five years old. They also listed Ming Yingzong's two years old and Ming Xiaozong was appointed crown prince at the age of six.

Wanli was just so simple that he didn't even look at it, so he just let Zhang Cheng take it to burn it.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial that Wang Jiaping just handed over."

Zhang Cheng handed over a memorial.

"Didn't you let it burn?"

Wanli waved his hand.

Zhang Cheng said: "Your Majesty, this memorial has nothing to do with the establishment of the crown prince, but it has something to do with Guo Dan."

"Guo Dan?"

Wanli was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Take it over."

"yes."

Zhang Cheng hurriedly handed over the memorial.

After reading it, Wanli closed the memorial and said to himself: "Financial statements?"

Zhang Cheng said: "I have never heard of this."

Wanli pondered: "Even Grand Secretary Wang treats the financial statements made by this businessman differently and asks them to be promoted in the court. That must be its uniqueness!"

Although Fang Fengshi once suggested contracting with Guo Dan, Wang Jiaping did not mention it in the memorial that he was still a relatively traditional scholar. He thought this suggestion was outrageous. He just asked the Ministry of Revenue to adopt this form of financial statements.

After a while, Wanli suddenly said, "Go and call Guo Dan."

"I obey the order."

In fact, he was not too lazy to care about anything, but he was tired of the struggles in the court. After meeting the ministers, after a few talks about political affairs, the ministers began to talk to him about etiquette and etiquette. This was really boring, but he was still very interested in what was related to Guo Dan because Guo Dan represents money.

Although Guo Dan did not expect that Wang Jiaping hoped to promote such financial statements in the court, it had nothing to do with him whether he would promote them or not. He also brought Yaxing's financial statements into the palace very readily and explained them carefully to Wanli.

"You guys made so much money last year?"

After hearing this, Wanli said immediately.

This guy is really sensitive to money. After hearing this, Grand Secretary Wang thought about the country, but you thought about my money. Guo Dan smiled embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, this money seems to be a lot, but the investment is also great. If you spread it to dozens of shareholders, there will be not much."

Wanli just smiled, watching the leeks grow vigorously, which was always gratifying, and asked again: "Then do you think the financial statements are worth promoting in the court."

Guo Dan pondered for a little, and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the financial statements are just charting accounts, which makes people clear at a glance. There must be help, but the premise is that the accounts are real. If they are not real, they will cover up more problems."

Wanli smiled and said, "Even you, a small businessman, knows that the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue are often fake."

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is not what it means. It is just saying..."

Wanli raised his hand and said, "Don't use explanation, I know much more than you." As he said that, he looked at the financial statements hanging on the wall, thinking about something.

Guo Dan secretly gave Zhang Cheng a wink, as if asking, what was going on?

Zhang Cheng replied, our family didn't know it either.

Wanli suddenly asked Zhang Cheng: "Master, you should be able to understand this financial statement now."

Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "Guo Dan explained clearly just now, and Weichen can understand it now."

Wanli said: "But if Guo Dan doesn't analyze it, can you get the same analysis as Guo Dan from this financial statement?"

Zhang Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't have this ability."

Wanli smiled and said, "I don't have this ability, but without such analysis, the role of this financial statement will be greatly reduced, and there is not much difference between having and not having."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is too much reward, and you dare not take the position of humble position."

"I just talk about the matter."

Wanli thought for a while and suddenly looked at Guo Dan and said, "Only by adding you Guo Dan can you really help the national finances. If you just promote it blindly, it will not have much effect."

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, those who have made vows cannot enter the court to become officials."

"Don't worry, I don't plan to let you enter the court as an official, I'm just..."

Wanli glanced at the financial statements again, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I just want to contract the court's financial statements for you to do."

"Inherit...contract to a low-ranking position?"

Guo Dan was stunned immediately.

Zhang Cheng was also a little panicked and said, "Your Majesty, how can this be done? How can the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue be contracted to a merchant."

"Why not."

Wanli said: "Guo Dan is much better than the officials of the Ministry of Revenue in terms of financial management. Moreover, if Guo Dan does it, I am more at ease. Don't think I don't know. Many officials use fake accounts to fool me."

Zhang Cheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is right, and I am very convinced, but the ministers will definitely not agree."

"That's not necessarily."

Wanli smiled strangely at the corner of his mouth and said to Guo Dan again: "Guo Dan, are you willing?"

Guo Tan was a little dizzy. Although he had always been talking about "contracting", this time, he was really uneasy. The country's accounts involved too much interests. He, a merchant, intervened in, would undoubtedly seek death!

Seeing that Guo Dan was silent, Wanli said again: "If you have any difficulties, you can tell me."

"Your Majesty, Huye is just a businessman. His ability is limited and it is difficult to count the national finances, because it requires a lot of energy and financial resources, which is definitely a loss-making deal."

Speaking of this, Guo Dan suddenly changed his subject, "But today's function is entirely up to Your Majesty's care, and it is the honor of your majesty's position. How dare you say "no"?"

His policy is very clear. For Wanli, he will offend anyone, and Wanli is his core interest.

He also firmly believes that there are all kinds of dog licking.

"Okay! I did not see the wrong person."

Wanli laughed and said seriously: "Go back to the point, I will order someone to summon you into the hall and ask about the financial statements in front of all the civil and military officials of the court. You just need to truthfully tell the benefits of the financial statements to the national finances. As for the contracting matter, you don't have to worry about it. I have your own way. If you think about me like this, I will not make you embarrassed."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Guo Dan hurriedly saluted.

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Guo Dan wondered: "Master, how did Your Majesty contract financial affairs to me? This..."

Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Don't you like contracting very much? Why? You don't want to contract again this time."

Guo Dan said embarrassedly: "Insider, I am just a small businessman. The previous contracting can make money, but contracting this financial statement will not make much money, and it will cause a lot of trouble."

Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "You are smart and clever, but you still don't know anything about the affairs in the court. If you enter the officialdom, you may not be able to live for three days."

Guo Dan said seriously: "I'm not humble. Not to mention three days, I can't even survive for a day."

Zhang Cheng laughed a few times and said seriously: "Your Majesty's intention is entirely for the Ministry of Revenue. He really wants to borrow your talents to make the finances better."

So great.

Guo Dan glanced at Zhang Cheng suspiciously.

Zhang Cheng said, "Don't you believe it?"

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "I believe it, of course I believe it."

Zhang Cheng said: "Whether you believe it or not, it's the truth. Think about it, if the Ministry of Revenue has money, His Majesty will live a better life. If the Ministry of Revenue has no money, he may have to ask His Majesty for money. In the past two years, the Ministry of Revenue's finances have been getting worse every year, and a lot of money is given by Taipu Temple."

What he said was just a very secondary reason, and another main reason was that when Zhang Juzheng was alive, the finances were moving upwards, and it was better to pass one year, but after Zhang Juzheng died, the finances seemed to go downwards and didn't even turn around.

This made Wanli very embarrassed. He always wanted to prove that I was better than the teacher, but the facts proved that this was not the case. Moreover, the Ministry of Revenue involved money. If he wanted to make some moves, all parties would come to reason with him. He was helpless about this. He had never controlled the Ministry of Revenue and often failed to get money.

He was already disheartened because after he took power, all indicators were not as good as Zhang Juzheng, and he was depressed, but Guo Dan's appearance gave him a glimmer of hope.
