Go back to Beijing today?"

Guo Dan looked at Gao Shang in surprise.

Gao Shang said: "Yes! I just received the oral order from Your Majesty, but Guo Dan, Your Majesty is so anxious to summon you back. There must be something wrong. Go and prepare quickly."

Guo Tan asked, "In other words, my father-in-law doesn't know what it is?"

Gao Shang nodded and said, "Your Majesty's oral order has not been mentioned."

Guo Dan couldn't help but frowned, thinking, this imperial edict was really the wrong time.

Now it is the final stage, he has to arrange for the future economic development of Kaifeng Prefecture, otherwise, when Kou Yi sent his letter, he would have returned to Beijing.

"Tomorrow. I will set off to return to Beijing immediately tomorrow." Guo Tan thought for a while and said to Gao Shang.

"tomorrow?"

Gao Shang seemed a little hesitant because Wanli asked him to return to Beijing today, but he also knew that Guo Dan was not easy. He just came over and nodded and said, "Okay, you have to leave early tomorrow morning."

"yes."

After Gao Shang left, Guo Dan rubbed his eyes in distress and said to himself: "But the plan really can't keep up with the changes!"

As he said that, he looked at Xu Wei again and said, "Mr., today I am afraid that I will not be drunk with the old man."

"The future is long." Xu Wei smiled discontently.

"Yes, the future is long."

Guo Tan nodded with a smile, and said to Li Shizhen again: "Doctor Li, fortunately you are here. Regarding medical school, you may have to ask Doctor Li to take care of it more."

Li Shizhen nodded with a smile.

Guo Dan glanced at Aunt Xu, stammering and seemed a little hesitant.

He originally wanted to keep Aunt Xu here to take charge of the overall situation, but he didn't know what the situation was in the capital. In comparison, of course, he was important to him.

Xu Wei saw it, knew Guo Dan's concerns, and suddenly said, "Guo Dan, if you feel at ease with me, I will help you watch it here."

"Old sir?"

Guo Dan looked at Xu Wei in surprise.

Xu Weifuxiu smiled and said, "Although I am old, I can still deal with this Xiao Gui and Cao follow me."

This is nothing more than telling Guo Dan, don’t worry, I won’t do anything randomly, everything will be based on your plan, I just watched.

"Thank you, Mr. for your generous help."

Guo Dan immediately bowed his hand.

Although Xu Wei was crazy, Guo Dan knew that if he was not sure about a conceited genius like him, he would never have spoken. Since he had spoken this, he would definitely do it well.

With the help of Xu Wei and Li Shizhen, Guo Dan suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Several people sat down in the hall. Guo Dan first explained to Li Shizhen about recruiting teachers in the medical school. Regarding this, it was really necessary for experienced medical scientists like Li Shizhen to take action.

Because medical school recruits teachers without taking exams, mainly looking at medical records and interviews, Guo Dan doesn't quite understand these.

Guo Dan decided to let Li Shizhen take the doctor of the Zhou royal family to preside over the matter.

Xu Wei is responsible for the academician college.

After Xu Wei and Li Shizhen said goodbye, Guo Dan called Chenchen and Cao Xiaodong and told them some things about enrollment and trading.

The third day.

"Have you finished giving me instructions?" Aunt Xu came to the hall and looked at Guo Dan, who was slightly tired, and asked.

Guo Dan smiled bitterly and said, "I have not finished the instructions yet. After all, I have not thought about it carefully for such a short time." As he said that, he asked Aunt Xu again, "Did the layman guess what happened in the capital?"

"I've been thinking about this just now."

Aunt Xu said: "I think it may be related to what you did in Kaifeng Prefecture. Because calculating the days, Jiang Yinglin's memorial should have arrived in the capital. Your Majesty will not immediately call you into the palace for other things."

Guo Dan frowned and said, "But the remarks I asked myself were not wrong."

Aunt Xu said, "If you want to add a crime, you will be in trouble."

"That's right, this is also my deepest impression of the court." Guo Dan shook his head with a wry smile.

The next morning, Guo Dan immediately set off and returned to Beijing.

The only thing that is thankful is that Kaifeng Prefecture is not too far from the capital, and the roads are very flat. With the rise of commerce, traffic measures are also becoming more and more perfect.

After half a month of walking, he finally arrived in the capital. As before, Guo Dan had just arrived in front of the city gate and was sent to the palace by the eunuch waiting there.

Ganqing Palace.

"I am a humble person and I will live my emperor."

"No gift! No gift!"

Wanli waved his hand weakly.

Guo Dan raised his head and immediately his expression stopped.

Wanli also noticed his strange little eyes, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Guo Dan was stunned and said, "I dare to ask, Your Majesty, have you been going to beat the pill every day recently?"

Wanli blinked and said, "Where do you start?"

Guo Dan said: "I just feel... I think His Majesty seems to have been reduced a lot?"

When he saw Wanli this time, he felt that this fat man had lost a lot of weight. Could it be that he worked hard to lose weight this summer? This is a good thing.

Wanli was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Isn't it all your fault?"

"That's...that's my fault?"

Guo Dan looked confused.

Wanli immediately became furious: "Of course it's all your fault. If you hadn't been talking nonsense in Kaifeng and saying that I would work hard to govern, how could I have been tortured so badly by them? I would have been so angry."

Guo Dan was confused when he heard this and said carefully: "Don't Your Majesty want to work hard to manage?"

"I......!"

Wanli opened his mouth and his eyes gradually moved upwards.

The air seemed to solidify.

Guo Dan stared at Wanli without blinking.

I don't know how long it has passed...

Wanli suddenly coughed lightly and said, "Of course I want to work hard to cure, but... But work hard to cure is not to watch the ministers quarrel every day."

Guo Dan became more and more confused as he listened, "I don't understand very well."

Wanli slapped the table and said annoyedly: "I didn't expect that how things would be like this."

He told Guo Dan about the reason.

It turns out that all this has to start with his "Go to Guantuzhi" that day.

There are three main reasons for his purpose in holding that court meeting. First, find this reason to not wear a crown, because his neck is relatively fragile.

Secondly, this is the most important point to warn the minister not to preach to him every day.

Finally, I would like to express my support for Guo Dan.

Working hard to manage is just an excuse.

He has no idea how to work hard to manage it.

However, his acting skills are a little too realistic, making others take it seriously.

Especially Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue, they felt that Wanli was determined to work hard this time, and they were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

Moreover, they also felt that Wanli was right. If we don’t talk about virtue, virtue is the basics. If we stand here, we are virtuous people, so we will talk about governance.

They first asked the court meeting every day to discuss national affairs.

Wanli immediately became depressed.

He didn't expect Wang Jiaping and the others to be so serious.

For the emperor, the word "works hard to govern" is just a catchphrase.

But after saying it, Wanli was not easy to refuse. Since he wanted to work hard to govern, he would always lead by example. If he still hid in the harem every day to eat, drink and have fun, he would be scolded to death by the ministers.

Wanli is difficult to get rid of the tiger. After thinking about it, he felt that as long as you don’t preach to me every day and really discuss national affairs, it would be okay to open up. It would be the best to work hard to revitalize the Ming Dynasty and be famous throughout the ages.

As a result, there was a problem when the opening was opened.

Because to work hard to govern, we must first solve the current problems. The reason why these problems exist is that the old system cannot solve these problems at all, so the only way is to reform.

The reformists led by Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue began to propose reforms.

In fact, they have been ready to move, especially after Guo Dan appeared, which greatly stimulated them. Are we even worse than a businessman?

But they had no idea how to start before, so they could only watch Guo Dan pretending.

but.......

Reform again?

Before Zhang Juzheng's body was cold, you want to reform again?

Have you forgotten how our comrades died tragically under Zhang Juzheng's butcher knife?

Many ministers in the court already had a sense of fear of reform.

Conservatives are strongly opposed.

It just can't be changed.

This directly triggered a new and old party struggle in the Northern Song Dynasty.

But the two are a little different.

At that time, Song Shenzong was young and energetic. He wanted to make a difference. He spared no effort to promote reform. However, although Wanli was also very young, he was already an old driver and his spirit had been exhausted. Guo Dan appeared and helped him recover his blood and cheer him up again.

But he was not determined to reform.

Now that the two parties are competing in the court, they are evenly matched. If your emperor prefers, that faction will definitely have the upper hand.

If you, the emperor, do not speak out.

The result is that both sides quarrel every day.

Wanli watched them quarrel every day, and his heart was always right.

Of course, Wanli would not say that he was indecisive and lazy. He gave all the blame to the ministers and Guo Dan. First of all, it was you, Guo Dan, who said that I worked hard to govern, and in order to support you, I went to govern, but in the end, I directly split the court.

They quarrel every day for their own selfish desires, so how can I try to cure it?

Although this was an excuse from Wanli, this was indeed the most far-reaching influence left by Zhang Juzheng to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Juzheng's reform brought great impact to the entire bureaucratic group.

They were all scared.

Since Zhang Juzheng, the Ming Dynasty basically had no reforms. As for the later acquisition of Wei Zhongxian, Tianqi, and Chongzhen, it was all a power struggle and had little to do with reform. In fact, at their level, they could not change it, either.

Wanli did not have Taizu, and he could not suppress the courage of Chengzu at all.

As long as we talk about reform, we will be in a big quarrel, so we basically didn’t care about it in the later period of Wanli. I will do my own business, and you can play with you, so we will not overturn the river.

Guo Dan understood, but he couldn't figure it out, "Your Majesty, there is no way to solve such a humble position. Humiliation is just a famous Jinyiwei."

What are you calling me back in court struggles? Are you feeling uncomfortable to make money in Kaifeng Prefecture?

Even if you blame me, I can't bear it!

"Don't worry, just listen to me."

Wanli said: "About a month ago, this matter turned around again, mainly because Song Jingsheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, proposed to reform tariffs."

“Reform tariffs?”

Guo Dan blinked and said, "Your Majesty, did he say that he should avoid the influx of cheap goods from Weihui Mansion into other places, injuring small workshops in various places, and the large-scale purchase of grain in Weihui Mansion, causing the grain prices in other states to rise, so he proposed tariff reform."

Wanli said in surprise: "How did you know?"
