The cabinet is also a bit confused.

It was in full swing, but why did the other party suddenly make a 180-degree turn? The key point was that the memorial did not seem to be dealing with Guo Dan, but instead it seemed to be throwing out the can and join forces with Guo Dan.

Everyone knows that there must be a conspiracy.

Because it is impossible for the censors to join forces with Guo Dan to deal with them. If that were the case, the censors would be completely finished. Why do they usually make words in the court? Isn’t it just morality and ethics?

They were determined not to cooperate with Guo Dan.

Just as Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue and Xu Guo were discussing how to deal with it, Song Jingsheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, suddenly asked for a meeting.

The Minister of Revenue Song Xuan was on the side of Shen Shixing, but Song Jingsheng was not from Shen Shixing.

"Sir, today the clerk of the household department, Jiang Yinglin suddenly came to our Ministry of Revenue for inspection."

The six departments have low positions in charge of officials, but they have very great power. Their position is to inspect the six departments. Although the cabinet controls the six departments, it is supervised by the six departments and the censors. This is why no matter how annoying the censors are, Wanli will not kill them because they can check and balance the cabinet well.

"Inspection?"

Shen Shixing frowned slightly and asked, "What is he inspecting?"

Song Jingsheng replied: "It's about the taxes of Weihui Mansion."

Wang Xijue said: "At this time they suddenly asked if this matter would be related to the memorial."

Song Jingsheng nodded.

Shen Shixing glanced at him and said, "If you know, just say it out."

Song Jingsheng hurriedly said: "Sir, the senior official, I heard that the initial rumors were deliberately released by Guo Dan. The purpose was to provoke the relationship between the cabinet and the censors, so that the court had no time to review the tax income of Wei Hui Mansion."

As soon as these words were said, Shen Shixing and others were stunned at first, and then they looked angry.

A businessman dares to play with the cabinet minister?

It’s because I’ve eaten the courage of the bear heart and the leopard!

"Is there any evidence for this matter?" Shen Shixing asked.

Song Jingsheng shook his head and said, "There is no evidence, but Huang Daxiao and others firmly believe in this, so they submitted the memorial. They wanted to force Guo Danlai to be responsible for this matter."

Wang Xijue wondered, "But why I look like I'm helping Guo Dan!"

Song Jingsheng immediately explained the reason.

After hearing this, Shen Shixing said with a blank expression and said, "I understand, does Mr. Song have anything else?"

Song Jingsheng was a little stunned, and then asked awkwardly: "The official is here mainly to ask whether the tax revenue of Weihui Mansion will continue to be reviewed?"

Shen Shixing said: "Of course we need to investigate this. Not to mention Weihui Mansion, the Ministry of Revenue must review the tax income of any state prefecture. Do I need to teach you how to do this?"

"The official understands."

Song Jingsheng bowed again and then went out.

After he left, Shen Shixing asked Wang Xijue and Xu Guo: "What do you think?"

Wang Xijue said anger: "I thought there was really a possibility. Now that I think about it, it would be too coincidental that the rumors appeared. If this matter was not discovered, then we would not seriously review the tax revenue of Wei Hui Mansion."

Xu Guo snorted: "If this is the case, then we will lose all our face."

Shen Shixing pondered and said, "But have you ever thought about why this matter was discovered again at this time? There was no sign of any sign in advance."

Wang Xijue said: "The chief minister means, is someone manipulating this matter?"

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "There are too many strange things in this matter, so it is not advisable to make arbitrary judgments."

"Can it be Guo Dan?" Xu Guodao: "Guo Dan first used rumors to provoke our struggle with censors, and then used the anger of censors to stimulate them to contract the three Henan governments to him. Whether he contracted the ranch or Weihui mansion, he used all the tricks of provoking him."

Wang Xijue shook his head and said, "This is unlikely. If Guo Dan uses rumors to provoke discord, it may be true. But it is difficult to use this to stimulate the censors and contract the three Henan governments. If he has any confidence, Huang Daxiao and the others will definitely do this, unless Huang Daxiao and others collude with him, but this is even more impossible."

“That’s true.”

Xu Guo nodded slightly.

If you anger the censors, they may not necessarily think of contracting the three prefectures of Henan to Guo Dan, unless Guo Dan tells them how you should deal with me.

Shen Shixing said: "If this is the case, we will still keep our troops and do what we should do. They will do the rest."

Wang Xijue and Xu Guoke are both veteran drivers, so they understood it as soon as they heard it.

What does it mean to do? For example, letting the Ministry of Revenue review the tax income of Weihui Mansion is undoubtedly to provide reasons for the censor.

Why is the tax revenue of Wei Hui Mansion high? It is because Guo Dan snatched away all the people. Of course, one is increasing and the other is declining. Then Guo Dan naturally has to be responsible for the three governments, but at the same time he also handed over the offense of Wanli to those censors. Anyway, they also like to quarrel with Wanli.

It can be seen that Shen Shixing is versatile. The reason why he raised questions just now was not to analyze the matter, but to not want to arouse the cabinet's anger towards Guo Dan. It is not necessarily that Guo Dan is doing something wrong, but to find out the matter clearly before talking about it.

Because he knew that Guo Dan’s money was Wanli’s money. If he wanted to rob Wanli’s money, he would definitely offend Wanli.

But at the same time, he also felt that the rumor was most likely released by Guo Dan. At the same time, it would be of many benefits to doing so. First of all, the cabinet and the censor could stop fighting. If they continue to fight on this matter, it would be detrimental to him.

Secondly, it can save money and food for the national treasury.

.....

At the same time, Wanli has not responded for a long time, which also made the officials know that Guo Dan does not want to contract, proving that their choice is right.

Since you don't want to, you just want to contract.

Soon, the ministers in the court divided the troops into two groups with a very tacit understanding and double-teamed Wanli.

One party asked to review the accounts of Weihui Mansion so that the taxes of Weihui Mansion can be collected as soon as possible and collected from the treasury.

The other party asked to contract Kaifeng Prefecture, Huaiqing Prefecture and Zhangde Prefecture to Guo Dan.

Not only the censors reported the memorial, but also the bureaucrats such as Yang Mingshen also submitted memorials, demanding that Guo Dan be responsible for the matter.

I don’t know if Taizu was a little too cruel to the officials at the time, which led to the unprecedented unity of the Ming Dynasty officials in dealing with the emperor.

Wanli gradually couldn't stand it. He could block the first wave, the second wave, the third wave.

First of all, the tax bills and tax income of Weihui Mansion must be paid. This is the rule. If Weihui Mansion becomes an exception, other prefectures will definitely use this as a reason to conceal the local tax income. Wanli cannot give up the world for the benefit of a government.

Secondly, the problems of the three prefectures in Henan must also be solved, because the vassal kings involved, which is actually mainly the vassal kings. As for whether the leeks are dead or alive, who would care? They are all relatives of Wanli. Even if they don’t want to care, they have to find a reason. Just leave it alone, which is not morally and ethically unreasonable.

However, this matter is indeed related to Wei Hui Mansion.

Because according to the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty, the people could not go around casually, but now, these rules are useless, and the household registration system has become nameless. The Zhang Juzheng One Whip Law also has this consideration. This person can leave, but the land cannot leave.

If you hand over the tax bill from Weihui Mansion, you will see that you have so much tax and your Weihui Mansion is full of capitation taxes. Where did the capitation come from?

In desperation, Wanli summoned Guo Dan again and Zhang Cheng also came to discuss countermeasures.

Seeing that the fat man looked depressed, Zhang Cheng bowed his head and said nothing, fearing that others would look at him, and knew that he would be unable to hold on. He couldn't help but think, if they couldn't hold on and would be entangled in the court, I wouldn't be able to help. It would be better to put me as the main force and I would be the main force, and they would help at the side.

After thinking about it over and over again, Guo Dan said, "Your Majesty, this money is made by our ability, not stealing or robbing. What can you say? We just made so much money and let them know? What if it is written on the contract, then how to calculate it. We just don't give it to you. If they can rob a low-ranking position, Your Majesty can rob them."

Zhang Cheng immediately scolded: "Guo Dan, when will our family change your unrestrained habit? Your Majesty is the noble of the Nine Five, what are you robbing..."

Guo Dan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty forgives your crime, but your humble position is just anger..."

Wanli waved his hand and said, "What are you guilty of? You are right. If these ministers can rob them, can I only be robbed by them?"

Zhang Cheng looked embarrassed and thought, too, you haven't snatched it before.

Wanli said again: "The problem now is that they attribute the crisis of Kaifeng Prefecture, Huaiqing Prefecture, and Zhangde Prefecture to you. It is not that you make a lot of money and ask you to pay it out, but that you are responsible for this crisis. Didn't I tell you before that they want you to contract these three prefectures."

"Yes! That's fine. As a businessman, there is no business that cannot be done."

Guo Dan nodded.

Wanli was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you say before that you will definitely lose money after contracting?"

Guo Tan said: "The reason why Bei Zhi said that he lost money is based on the fact that they may put forward very harsh conditions."

Wanli said: "Do you think they won't do it now? I'm afraid they have already thought about how to deal with you."

Guo Dan said: "If a low-ranking position cannot make a profit from it, then a low-ranking position will not accept it. It is not that a low-ranking position underestimates them. If this matter is discussed as a transaction, they will only be together with their ability to settle accounts. What are the fears of a low-ranking position?"

This is so bold!

Wanli was deeply infected and slapped the table and said, "Okay, let's talk to them."

But as he said that, he said depressed again: "What should I do if I don't have a good agreement?"

Guo Dan said: "If you don't have a good deal, just waste it first to see if you can drag some turnaround."

He really has no way to operate those prefectures now, so he can only drag it on first.

Wanli seemed a little confused.

Zhang Cheng quickly reacted and said hurriedly: "You can afford to hold on, but those vassal kings cannot afford to hold on."

Guo Dan said: "Then... let the local government give you some food first to ensure that they are not hungry. Then I will say that I will pay the money now, and I won't be able to pay so much."

Even if he was allowed to operate, it would take some time. Now that the merchants have invested in Weihui Mansion, they have no money to invest in Kaifeng Mansion. The Lumi of the vassal king is about to be given, but they are very delicate and have no habit of saving.

Wanli nodded helplessly and said, "Just do it like this."

ps: Oh my God! I only found out today that the daughter of the family upstairs was suffering from depression. Now, I stood in the kitchen and got a kitchen knife and a lighter, saying that she wanted to light the gas and commit suicide. At this moment, many policemen came and the entire building was closed. After I uploaded this chapter, I had to go to someone else's house to beg for food. This is really terrifying.

I don't know when it will be solved.
Chapter completed!
