"Business spy?"

Wanli seems to be a little unfamiliar with this word.

Of course he knew this, it was easy to understand, but spies are usually used in military and political affairs, and they have never been bound to business. Instead, spies often pretend to be businessmen.

It is a bit exaggerated to discuss things, based on the commercial scale of the Ming Dynasty, commercial spies appeared.

At present, it's still on defense.

However, once foreign trade is carried out, this scale will expand rapidly and commercial spies can play a role.

Guo Dan proposed this concept, which is actually for the future layout.

"Yes."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I thought that the reason why Jiang Feng happened was mainly because we didn't know that Jiang Feng existed and did not know about his engagement with Li Shouqi. If we could detect it in advance, then this matter would not be possible. The business spy specializes in collecting all information about business. In this way, it can prevent such things from happening again and share the pressure on Hu Zheng's shoulders. In this case, Hu Zheng dares not leave the capital."

Wanli nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "Actually, I should have done this long ago. I have allowed this matter, so you can do it."

He felt a little regretful when he heard this, and he blamed himself for not considering it carefully. Although Guo Dan had the ability to make money, he did not have the ability to protect the money. He had to find a group of people to specifically protect the money.

Guo Dan looked at Wanli in surprise.

Wanli said curiously: "What? Isn't it right?"

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is indeed a bit inappropriate. A humble position is just a businessman, so you can't do this. If someone discovers this, you may even be punished with a serious crime of treason."

Wanli frowned and felt that it seemed something was wrong. Although it was his concession, the problem was that this matter could not be exposed. Under this premise, if Guo Dan set up such an organization, once he was arrested, Wanli could not admit that it was his concession.

This question is very big.

"Then what do you think should be done?" Wanli asked.

Guo Dan pondered for a moment and said, "I believe that your Majesty is responsible for this matter. You are responsible for helping you from the side, such as telling those people how to collect information about business."

Wanli said angrily: "If I can come forward, it would be better for me to allow you to make arrangements, I just can't come forward."

“That’s true.”

Guo Dan nodded a little, thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, the ranch over there is about to be completed. I bought horses from outside the pass, and this year it should be here. If the horse runs inside every day, it would be better to let some Jinyiwei train riding in it, and manage horses by the way, reduce the burden on the horse farm, kill two birds with one stone. Your Majesty can set up a special ward there, and then select some Jinyiwei to go there, and the Taipu Temple and the horse farm jointly take charge of their salary."

Wanli thought for a while and said, "This is OK. I will set up a thousand-household office there. However, where there is still money in the horse farm, the Taipu Temple will be responsible for it. At that time, this article will be added to your cooperation contract. Let the Taipu Temple allocate funds to the horse farm with the expenses of the thousand-household office, and then the horse farm will allocate them to the thousand-household office."

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise."

This person is very simple. I will listen to anyone who pays it. Guo Dan asked the Taipu Temple and the horse farm to be responsible. The meaning is very obvious, that is, to leave the original institution, and naturally, he will not be controlled by the Dongchang.

Of course, Wanli knew in his heart that even if Guo Dan didn't say that, he would do so.

Because he didn't know how many people in the court wanted to deal with Guo Dan. Although he trusted Zhang Jing very much, he couldn't guarantee that Zhang Jing would not deal with Guo Dan. Therefore, this thousand households must be completely independent and he and Guo Dan were directly responsible. However, the money from the horse farm was his money. After losing so much money, he was unwilling to pay the money again and had to find a sucker.

Taipu Temple naturally took on this role.

Xu Mengchong, the scapegoat, has been forgotten for a long time.

He asked Taipu Temple to allocate funds to the horse farm first, and then the horse farm will allocate funds to the Qianhu House. It can be seen that the Qianhu House is not under the control of Taipu Temple.

"I will arrange this matter immediately."

Wanli suddenly remembered something again and said, "By the way, what kind of hand do you hide about cotton armor is related to King Lu?"

Guo Dan was stunned for a moment and said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty already knows it."

Wanli said: "The King of Lu has told me two days ago."

In fact, Lu Wang didn’t know what Guo Dan’s purpose was to borrow someone, but now Lu Wang has completely understood it.

Guo Dan hurriedly explained: "Bei Zhi did this just to cover up the eyes and ears. Therefore, Bei Zhi did not dare to let his own people do it, so he could only borrow someone from Lu Wang."

"I don't mean to blame you. You have considered this very carefully. If you can't hand over the cotton armor at that time, I will be very troublesome."

Speaking of this, Wanli suddenly asked, "But I don't understand at all. Making cotton armor requires very exquisite craftsmanship. Can those village women do it well?"

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured about this. In fact, those village women are only doing part of it. For example, one village is responsible for slapping cotton and another village is responsible for thick threads. The most difficult one is the iron sheets and copper nails in the cotton armor. These are all made in Tianjin wu, and they are all well protected. The only thing that burns is just cotton.

Therefore, it is enough to transport all these parts to Weihui Mansion and assemble them. In fact, originally Beizhi planned to transport them to Tianjin Wei for work, but he did not expect that there would be an additional Weihui Mansion in the middle. With the current scale of Weihui Mansion, it would be completed in less than a few days. After this incident, Beizhi ordered them to transport them to Weihui Mansion quickly, and now they should almost arrive at Weihui Mansion."

"So that's it, it's wonderful, it's wonderful!"

Wanli breathed a sigh of relief. This was a great blessing in disgrace. There was no problem with this matter. In fact, the killer move of the whole case was here. Wanli had already covered him once before, and if he wanted to cover him up for the second time, it would really hurt the hearts of the soldiers.

Wanli didn't dare to be so willful, and said again: "When it comes to Weihui Mansion, I haven't rewarded you well yet. Even Jiang Yinglin's hard bone has praised you for what you did in Weihui Mansion. However, there is one thing I still don't understand very well, it's about the tax issue."

In fact, this incident made Guo Dan gain a qualitative change in his mind. The reason is that Guo Dan did not take power and did not regard himself as a respect. If he did this, it would be understandable. After all, he contracted it and the military power was not in his hands. However, he didn't even want administrative power, and at the same time he did it. How could such a person be worried?

It is worthy of being Wanli, and he is only interested in money. Guo Dan muttered to himself and explained these two taxes to Wanli again.

Wanli nodded slightly when he heard this, and then asked, "Do you think this deed tax can be used for other prefectures and counties?"

He always wanted to increase the commercial tax, but he did not get support. This deed tax gave him hope. As for the income tax of that person, it was impossible. No landlord would be willing to bear the tax on hiring farmers.

Guo Dan shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work."

“Why?”

"Because other prefectures and counties do not attach much importance to contracts, many landlords break contracts, and tenants have no choice. The main reason why they can collect this deed tax in Weihui Mansion is that there is no official in Weihui Mansion, and everything is based on contract."

When Wanli heard this, he couldn't help but look depressed.

In fact, Wang Jiaping told him this, but he still had a glimmer of hope for Guo Dan and might be able to give a different answer.

Guo Dan had already achieved his goal, but the emperor was always unhappy, which was not good for him. It seemed that he had only had no achievements and had no achievements. He still had to say something that made him happy. He smiled: "I'm not hiding this, in fact, the situation in Wei Hui Mansion has exceeded the expectations of Bei Zhi. Bei Zhi really didn't expect that he would receive so many orders so soon. According to Bei Zhi's budget, Wei Hui Mansion's tax revenue is definitely more than 200,000 taels, and it is very likely to double it."

“Double?”

Wanli opened his eyes wide and said.

Guo Dan nodded and said, "It is absolutely possible to continue to develop with the current momentum."

Wanli took a breath of air conditioning, then breathed, and then breathed. During this breathing, his brain was quickly calculating that more than 200,000 taels, more than 400,000 taels were doubled. Compared with the loss of 80,000 taels, it was considered a ball!

Guo Dan asked again: "Your Majesty, how do you calculate the extra money?"

"This is still a question, of course I'm my fault."

Wanli's face suddenly looked ferocious, but soon realized that he had lost his composure. He coughed lightly and said seriously: "This Weihui Mansion was contracted to you. The contract stipulates how much you give it. The extra money is considered to be profitable, and naturally it belongs to me."

The money Guo Dan brought with him was all from Wanli, and Yashang did not invest in it. But then again, he is actually the boss of every state prefecture.

"I understand the humble position."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, it's not just that. I haven't given up the transportation of Weihui Mansion. Once everyone puts the goods to Weihui Mansion to produce them, how much goods are going to be, the transportation cost will definitely be terrifyingly high."

"Okay, okay! Haha!"

Wanli smiled so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.

Li Gui, who was standing beside him, was relieved. Wanli hadn't been so happy for a long time, and even was depressed in the harem. He was really afraid that Wanli would get sick.

It can be seen that this heart disease still requires heart medicine.

"Guo Dan, don't worry. If you do your best to do your best to do your business for me, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. Let's do this. I will give you a hundred pieces of silk and twenty maids first, and then give you a mansion." Wanli waved his hand and said boldly.

If you want to calculate the commission, it's more than that.

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "I will not hide it from Your Majesty. I have to ask Your Majesty for your blessings. My Majesty's Yaxing has also made a lot of money with Your Majesty. How dare I reward you?"

"That's what you earn, it's what I reward you."

"But... but this maid is forgot. Bei Zhi is afraid that his wife will have any objections. After all, Bei Zhi is just a son-in-law."

"Are you still a son-in-law in your home?"

Wanli said in surprise.

"Yes." Guo Dan nodded.

"This is really strange!" Wanli smiled and said, "Okay, I will reward you with some tributes sent from all over the country. Then I will have someone to send them to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Guo Dan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is still a small matter in his humble position. I hope Your Majesty can agree."

"What's up?"

"It's about Yang Feixu. She is good, but she is a woman after all. It's so inconvenient to follow Beizhi. Can Your Majesty change a bodyguard for Beizhi?"

"I asked her to protect you at the time, but because there was something inconvenient at that time, now, I don't need to worry so much. Moreover, I also feel that it is difficult for her to protect you alone. Okay, I will send four more guards to protect you."

Wanli agreed immediately.
