Every penny that Guo Danhua has his own interest attribute, so there is no reason to bear two burdens for free.

"Since the prince is going, you have to do some fun activities, otherwise, you will be too boring and will make you bored," Guo Dan said with a smile.

"There is an activity for you?" Zhu Yiliu said excitedly: "Dandan, you really understand me more and more. Tell me quickly, what is the activity for you?"

"No, no, let's find a place to discuss it carefully. Either don't play, you have to have fun if you want to play."

"Let's go and talk to our house."

Zhu Yili was so excited that he really was going to play.

"Please, please."

It is spring, and when all things are revived, the suburbs are full of vitality, so many literati and scholars will come to the suburbs to have a spring trip. However, there are many people coming to the suburbs this year, but they are not here to have a spring, but they are criticizing the court for contracting Wei Hui Mansion to Guo Dan.

Shilin's view on this was very consistent, that is, he firmly opposed the court's contracting Wei Hui Mansion to Guo Dan.

Although they could not stop it in the court, they created great public opinion among the people.

Of course, the people also favor them. Most people have no good impression of merchants and think that merchants are all treacherous people. This is of course a fact.

In a pavilion in the eastern suburbs, an old man carried his hands on his back, looking at the Confucian scholars who were talking non-distance, not only frowned, but said: "These people are all full of benevolence, righteousness, but they are extremely selfish in their hearts. They are not the people, they care about the people, but the status of scholars and the tradition of Confucianism."

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh, "I really don't know where their sage books are read?"

The Taoist nun sitting in the pavilion said, "I wonder what the difference between what Guo Dan did at this time and what Liu Jin, Wang Zhen and others?"

The old man was Fang Fengshi, and this nun was naturally Aunt Xu.

Fang Fengshi turned around, looked at Aunt Xu in surprise, and said, "I remember that the layman favored Guo Dan. Last time in the cotton armor case, it was the layman who recommended Guo Dan to Lao."

Aunt Xu shook her head and said, "I am not very fond of Guo Dan. I just thought that Guo Dan was humble at the time, and he was not a person in the officialdom. He also made many enemies in the court, but at the same time he was favored by His Majesty. Therefore, he did not dare to seek personal gain from it."

Fang Fengshi said, "In other words, the lay Buddhists do not support Guo Dan in this matter."

Aunt Xu smiled and said, "As I said just now, the reason I recommended to Guo Dan to Shangshu Fang that day was because of his special identity and the environment around him. If there were no such scolding or obstacles in the court, I would definitely not recommend Guo Dan to Shangshu Fang, and I would not be optimistic that Guo Dan would make a difference in Weihui Mansion."

Fang Fengshi asked again: "Does the lay Buddhists now think that Guo Dan can make a difference?"

Aunt Xu said, "Guo Dan should know that he cannot fail, and he cannot even have any flaws, otherwise." She looked at the scholar in the distance, suddenly frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully: "I think it may be a lie he compiled for Guo Dan's swearing not to enter the court to become an official."

Fang Fengshi thought for a while, then suddenly stroked his beard and smiled, "I understand, I understand."

.

However, these remarks will naturally affect the businessmen in the capital.

Yinuoyaxing.

"My nephew, it turns out that you have only contracted for one year."

Qin Zhuang looked embarrassed and said, "What should I do after this year?"

Guo Tan smiled and said, "It's true for a year, but you don't need any cost and won't let you lose money."

Zhou Feng said: "That's true, but you should also know that many people oppose contracting Wei Hui Mansion to you. Of course, we believe that it is impossible to lose money if we manage it by nephews. But if you risk offending so many people, you will only do it for this year, which is a bit unprofitable!"

The others nodded, and they all looked embarrassed.

Their customers are basically those literati, talented, and high-ranking officials, which puts them a lot of pressure.

Of course, Guo Dan was able to bring them profits, and he could not offend them. They felt very embarrassed about this.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Don't be embarrassed, are I such a person? You have always forced me, but I have never forced you. I have said that I will bear all the risks. I will go first and settle the matter. You are watching. If you feel that there is a chance, go, and if you think it is not worth it, don't go. What a big thing, it really won't be so mobilized and so entangled, which makes me embarrassed."

"Oh! We are even more embarrassed when you say this." Qin Zhuang felt a little guilty when he heard it, and said kindly: "Nephew, if we don't go, will you be there alone?"

Guo Dan waved his hand and said, "I called you because I was afraid that you would blame me for not calling you then. In fact, whether you go or not will not affect the overall situation. Don't have this pressure. Just stay in the capital and do your own business well. Oh, when I am not here, try not to add burden to my wife, and I will be really satisfied."

Zhou Feng and the others looked at each other, their faces full of embarrassment.

They had thought they were very important before and were still making things difficult for themselves. They never thought that they were so unimportant in Guo Dan's eyes.

This made them feel very uncomfortable.

At the same time, they also kept their hands and kept the decision to invest in Weihui Mansion, and they had to wait and see.

After they left, Kou Shouxin, who had been silent, immediately complained, "Son-in-law, I think you are really a little nice to them. They only earn money, and we will bear all the risks. You can't be too kind in business."

"Dad, don't be angry, now we really want them."

Kou Weisha whispered beside him.

"But didn't the son-in-law just say that whether they go or not will affect the overall situation?" Kou Shouxin said in confusion.

Kou Weisha glanced at Guo Dan and said, "I don't think my husband wants them to know how important they are to us, so as not to take the opportunity to raise the price."

"Son-in-law, is that true?"

Kou Shouxin asked Guo Dan.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Of course not. Although the son-in-law is kind, he is a businessman. Everything is still based on making money. The reason why I say this is to make some money from them and make them speechless."

Kou Weisha asked in confusion: "Get some money from them?"

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I have no intention of taking them with me at all. I will go there first. I hope they will invest after the general situation is settled, because before that, if they don't go, I will buy them all, and then split them and sell them, earn tens of thousands of taels from them and supplement the travel expenses."

Kou Weisha said in surprise: "Back up all?"

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, this doesn't require much money, everything is ready-made."

"I see."

Kou Shouxin smiled and said, "Son-in-law, don't ask them to be too kind. If we can earn 20,000 taels of them, we will never make 10,000 taels. We are not the God of Wealth, why should we help them take risks and make money?"

Guo Dan laughed and said, "Yes, my son-in-law remembers it."

Kou Weisha pursed her lips and smiled, and asked again: "I wonder when my husband plans to go to Weihui Mansion?"

Guo Dan said: "It should take some time to go there. It will take some time for the government to withdraw. If you go early, it will be embarrassing if you encounter it by chance. Besides, I have to arrange the matter here. We are not in a hurry. It is so anxious that it is those people. I really stepped on their tails this time."

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye. These days, Guo Dan either stayed in the Tooth Shop or went to the new horse racing area. He was dealing with Tooth Shop, which made people feel a little scared.

Because at first many people also guessed that Guo Dan might ask businessmen to invest, just like the new horse racing area, because at the beginning, Guo Dan talked to Zhou Feng and the others, and the news was leaked soon.

Shilin put pressure on Zhou Feng and the others. This matter cannot be borne by you businessmen. If you are not careful, you will be sued. Don’t tie yourself to Guo Dan.

How could I know that Guo Dan really did what he said. Since that day, Guo Dan has never found any businessman to discuss this matter. In fact, some businessmen were instructed by the boss behind the scenes and deliberately came to test him. Guo Dan ignored him and tried to avoid him as much as possible.

Three more days passed.

Imperial City.

Just now, the officials walked out of the imperial city one after another.

"It seems something is wrong."

Huang Daxiao whispered to Li Zhi beside him.

Li Zhi asked, "What's wrong?"

Huang Daxiao said: "At the beginning, we all thought that Guo Dan wanted to use the same trick again and found a group of businessmen to go there, but as far as I know, Guo Dan didn't have to let them go. In the past few days, Guo Dan had never consulted anyone about this matter. He had no action at all. I really don't know what he sold in this gourd."

Li Zhi snorted: "No matter what medicine he sells, this matter cannot be successful. I heard that the famous families and noble families in Weihui Mansion were so angry that they jumped up and wrote many letters to the ministers in the court. They firmly opposed Guo Tan's takeover of Weihui Mansion, and threatened that the court would be responsible for anything that happened."

Another person came up behind him. It was Ding Zhunlu. He smiled and said, "It's not just Wei Hui Mansion, but the entire Henan Road is opposed, I'm afraid that Guo Dan will be made difficult on the road."

Huang Daxiao sighed: "That was also what Guo Dan asked for. This matter had nothing to do with him. If he wanted to make a contribution, he could offer advice to the court, but he was ungrateful and wanted to contract Weihui Mansion. Isn't this going to be an enemy of the officials in the world? That's fine, he's finished this time."

At this time, Wang Shixing hurried towards him and gasped slightly, "I just wrote a letter from Weihui Mansion that the prefect He has withdrawn from Weihui Mansion."

Huang Daxiao said: "So fast?"

Wang Shixing sighed: "We think it's fast, but the prefect He still feels slow. When they heard the news, they took their families away from the government office on the same day. This is really insulting. They have worked hard to build the Lu Wang Mansion over the years, but they have been scolded for being white, and their hair has turned white. However, now, something happened, they are even blamed for being incompetent. Everyone left. I heard from the Ministry of Personnel that they have accepted the joint resignation of 13 officials including He and Prefect He."

“Hey, this is really done.”
