Dong Pavilion.

"Prime Minister, this is a letter from Tongzhou just now. The two thousand good horses sent by Liaodong General Li Chengliang have arrived in Tongzhou and will arrive in the capital soon."

Xu Guo handed a letter to Shen Shixing.

Shen Shixing took it and looked at it.

Wang Jiaping asked, "These two thousand good horses should have been bought by Guo Dan, right?"

Xu Guo nodded and said, "Last year they had agreed to send the good horses here and then transport the 10,000 pieces of cotton armor back to Liaodong."

At that time, Guo Dan asked the court to allocate funds directly to the Liaodong area. To buy horses, it was equivalent to using cotton armor to exchange horses.

Yu Youding said: "It seems that Guo Dan is going to complete the task ahead of schedule."

Everyone has forgotten the contract for the horse farm. No one is still thinking about finding faults from this, because there is no suspense about this. After all, gambling horses is so profitable, and at the same time, Guo Dan took back all the land he had lost before, and raising three thousand good horses is more than enough.

Wang Xijue snorted: "This time I want to go and see if every horse is a good horse."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Guo, Wang Jiaping and others smiled bitterly.

It looks very awkward.

This is because the court also bought horses in front of him, but many of them were given inferior products as good ones, and most of them could only be used to pick up goods and could not go to the battlefield at all. This time, Guo Dan bought them. Although the horses had not arrived yet, they all knew in their hearts that every horse must be a good horse.

Guo Dan said it very clearly at the time that if you give enough money, you should be as much as possible. But if you use inferior products as good ones, I will deduct your cotton armor. When will you take good horses and when will I give you cotton armor?

But in fact, this horse belongs to the court, but it was contracted by Guo Dan. If the results are different, it can explain many problems.

The court bought it by itself, but the result was that the quality was mixed. Guo Dan bought it, which may be a good horse.

The reason is obvious, because of officials.

For officials, the money belongs to the court, or it can be said to be public. Of course, it is to make money if you can make money. For Guo Dan, it is all his money. Whoever wants to make money is to make money, of course he will not cheat, and he will make money himself.

But he didn't dare. All the civil and military officials in the court were staring at him. He could only do better. If there were any mistakes, the memorials to impeach him would definitely be filled with the rituals and supervisors.

Wang Xijue said again: "When talking about Guo Dan, he has made a lot of moves recently. He has established a Marseille Education Fund, Temple Alliance, and Taoist Alliance. This seems to be a different point of view!"

Xu Guodao: "But strangely, this time it seems that there is no uproar, and there are very few people talking about it."

Yu Youding said hehe: "They want to discuss it, but they are more afraid that His Majesty will take advantage of the issue and order to restrict private colleges. Haven't they learned enough lessons?"

Wang Jiaping sighed: "We used to pick the truth and look at people in the cracks. We always thought that Guo Dan was a treacherous businessman and could not succeed. This was not done by a gentleman, so he was defeated again and again. If we don't learn from the lessons, we will probably suffer even more in the future!"

Yu Youding and the others nodded slightly.

They wanted to do a lot of things, but they didn't do it. For example, Ma Zheng couldn't solve it, but Guo Dan did it.

As the chief assistant, Deshen Shixing had not made any noise, but just pretended to look at the letter. He finished reading this letter at a glance.

Since he was punished to kneel last time, he has also seen some tricks clearly. Moreover, from the results, Guo Dan made a fuss, which seemed to be good.

He originally wanted to reconcile the struggle between the court, but ended in failure. He was exhausted physically and mentally and could not integrate the power of the court, so that everyone could unite and build the country well. He now plans to rest and rest and watch the tiger fight in the mountains. If he has the chance, he will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Guo Dan set up an education fund, which obviously targeted factors. Everyone knows, because the college, especially the private college, had a very important position in the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, Zhang Juzheng would not have taken special action against the private colleges.

Many public opinion comes from the academy, and these public opinion are regarded as the voice of the people by officials in the court to restrict the emperor.

Moreover, some factions in the court also came from the academy, and the famous Donglin Party came from the Donglin Academy.

Therefore, this academy is very important to the bureaucratic group. Now that Guo Dan wants to join in, everyone feels uncomfortable, but few people oppose this matter. The reason is that Zhang Juzheng had previously banned private colleges and has just recovered.

They were really afraid and opposed Guo Dan, but they ended up opposing themselves. This was the usual routine of the Emperor and Shang combination.

If this is the case, then it would be really a shooting of himself in the foot. Guo Dan hadn't. If you don't allow him to build it, he wouldn't lose anything. If Wanli took advantage of the issue and banned private colleges, it would definitely hit the bureaucratic group severely.

They won't say it.

Let's take a look first.

It can be seen that this person should be strong when he should be strong. If he simply endures, it will only become more severe. Never believe in the nonsense of repaying grievances with kindness.

When Guo Dan started to fight back, they were a little afraid and dared not underestimate Guo Dan anymore. After all, Guo Dan first used Dongchang as an appetizer this time.

This bureaucratic group has also wanted to open up, and the East Factory can tolerate it, and it is not embarrassing that we can tolerate it.

Therefore, the education fund's success was very smooth and there was no obstacle.

But it is never easy to do business.

Yinuoyaxing.

"Husband, can you see if you can settle the accounts with your Majesty first?"

Kou Weisha came to Guo Dan's office with a bill.

Guo Dan was stunned and said, "Is Yashang short of money?"

Kou Weisha sighed: "The existing money of Yass is less than 5,000 taels. From the first half of last year to now, Yassss has been investing outside. The profits are mainly from stock increase, but the transaction of cotton armor is a loss. The new horse racing area and Weihui Mansion have not yet started to make profits, and now the Marseille has suspended, which seriously affects Yass' income."

In fact, she has always been very modest and thought she could not keep up with Guo Dan's footsteps. But then again, investment like Guo Dan is a very high-risk one, because he invests too fast and too strongly. As long as one mistake is made, he will immediately fall into trouble.

Although he avoided this time, it had a great impact on the tooth shop, because the fault tolerance rate of the tooth shop was too low and he could not withstand too much impact.

Fortunately, Kou Weisha is in charge of the business. She is very careful and saves as much as possible. If it were someone else, she might be owing money.

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to make the bill there soon. In addition, I will settle the bill for the education fund first."

Although Guo Dan is preparing for the education fund, he still hires the Yasper to help.

Guo Dan sighed again, "This period is indeed the most difficult, we must be mentally prepared."

Kou Weisha smiled bitterly and said, "I'm already prepared. I'm just worried that you are used to spending money, husband, you are used to spending money. You have to invest again on impulse. This time I really can't afford it."

Guo Dan smiled awkwardly and said, "I seem to be really overestimating myself. Don't worry, I will be a little relaxed lately."

Kou Weisha shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm just that I want to ensure I won't spend any more money."

"ensure."

Guo Dan quickly raised his hand. Having said that, he still raised money with him when he had the chance. The merchant is so virtuous and owed money, and sighed, "It seems a bit unprofitable to cut a piece of meat from the East Factory by 100,000 taels."

Kou Weisha pretended to be angry and said, "You are just awakening now, it's too late."

Guo Dan said: "Learn from the lesson, I will break one of his legs next time they come."

Kou Weisha immediately glanced at him and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"General manager."

"Come in."

A secretary came in and handed a very small bronze mirror to Guo Dan: "General Manager, a Taoist nun just sent a bronze mirror, saying that it was sent by Mr. Wusi, who asked her to send it."

"Brother's aunt?" Kou Weisha said.

Bronze mirror? What's this? Guo Dan was also stunned for a moment and took the bronze mirror, "You go out first."

After the secretary went out, he looked carefully, then handed it to Kou Weisha and said, "Madam, look, is there any mystery in this bronze mirror?"

Kou Weisha was a woman after all. After taking the bronze mirror, he saw, "This bronze mirror is very ordinary, and this is the cheapest sold in the market. Husband, why did Mr. Wusi give you this bronze mirror?"

Yes! Why did you suddenly give me a bronze mirror? Guo Dan pondered for a moment and suddenly realized, thinking, this woman is really hateful, I can look down on you, that is your blessing, you don’t know what’s wrong, it won’t take long before Yang Feixu will teach you a lesson. Seeing Kou Weisha looking at him curiously, her eyes turned: “Why else, isn’t it just coveting my appearance?”

"Pretty?"

"Yes!"

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I didn't tell you because I'm afraid you're jealous. In fact, this lay Buddhist Wusi has always admired my appearance very much. She may want to express her love in this way."

Kou Weisha was not willing to believe it, and snorted: "I think it must be that you did something shameless again, so Mr. Wusi gave you a mirror to let you recognize yourself well."

"Why are you coughing, don't believe it, your husband has many people snatched it."

Guo Dan said guiltily, thinking, is this the legendary "woman's intuition"? This is really terrifying.

Kou Weisha just smiled but didn't say anything.

Guo Dan wondered: "Madam, you really have a lot of adults. Such a beautiful woman suddenly gave you a gift to your husband, and you were not jealous at all."

Kou Weisha asked, "What do you think I should do now?"

Guo Dan said: "Of course I'm asking the bottom line and then I'm punished me to kneel on the washboard."

"Okay!" Kou Weisha reluctantly said: "Then you go and kneel on the washboard first, and I will dig into the bottom of the matter after kneeling."

"Hahaha! Just a joke, Mrs. Don't take it seriously." Guo Dan whined, why did he get himself in? "Actually, what I admire most is that my wife's mind is, well, big and upright."

"Big and strong?"

Kou Weisha was stunned, then reacted, blushed, and spat, "It's really vulgar."

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

The knock on the door sounded again, "General Manager, just now, the letter from the city gate has been sent, but Butler Kou is back."

Guo Dan and Kou Weisha were stunned at the same time.

Kou Weisha breathed a sigh of relief: "It's been here, I almost got killed by these cotton armor this time."

Guo Dan said: "It's a blessing to lose his horse. We will soon have money."

Kou Weisha said: "Why do you say that?"

Guo Dan said: "As soon as this batch of cotton armor arrives, Your Majesty has the confidence and won't give us a few more orders. After this deposit, will you have money to turn over?"

Kou Weisha hurriedly said, "Don't do this business, you can't make a lot of money, and you have to be scared."
