Aunt Xu knows Guo Dan better.

In fact, Guo Dan’s plan to go south was not like this at first. He planned to carry out the plan in secret. Just chatting that day, he suddenly remembered that he was from Nanjing.

The Nanjing battlefield is his home court.

He hates himself!

Such important details were ignored.

Since I remembered it, of course I have to make good use of this.

He said several times that every penny he spent was of interest.

Of course, he never thought it was wrong.

After all, the other party also gets benefits, and it is not cheating or lying. This is a win-win situation.

On the first day he returned to his hometown, he threw out several thousand taels, built a college and built a ancestral hall, helped the villagers find livelihoods, and invited banquets to the whole town.

It is conceivable that the villagers in Yangzigou will definitely support Guo Dan.

Nowadays, anyone who wants to provoke regional disputes is that he has no foothold. Guo Dan is from Yangzigou, Nanjing, and is not an outsider. If a gentry from a village wants to trouble Guo Dan in the form of a local snake, he is looking for death. We are also locals.

At most, the villages and villages have to fight. With Guo Dan’s financial resources, who else should I be afraid of in Yangzigou?

When the pigs and ducks arrived at the entrance of the village, Yang Sheng and the others hurriedly arranged for people to prepare for the banquet. Time was tight!

The villagers were dancing happily.

"Son-in-law!"

Only after Yang Sheng and the others were busy did Kou Yi bow to Guo Dan.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "You did a good job in Nanjing."

Kou Yi hurriedly said, "My son-in-law has given me a prize. Actually, I was afraid that I would ruin my son-in-law's big deal a while ago. Fortunately, my son-in-law sent me a message, so I felt a little relieved."

“Be confident.”

Guo Dan patted Kou Yi on the arm and said, "Now, someone in Nanjing City knows that I'm here."

Kou Yidao: "I haven't heard of it yet, but!"

He looked around the villagers who silently visited Guo Dan in the distance, "I think they will know soon."

Guo Dan laughed and said, "Then they will definitely be very surprised."

Kou Yi hehehe: "I don't know if it's shocked or not, but I know that there must be many people who are very distressed now."

Guo Dan said, "How do you say this?"

Kou Yi hurriedly said: "This matter has to start from the end of last year. After the news of the imperial court's reform of tariffs reached Nanjing, many wealthy businessmen hoped to take this opportunity to learn from Weihui Mansion and open some large workshops in the Jiangnan region. At that time, many people supported this idea. After the new tariff law was implemented, there was a crisis in our Weihui Mansion, and more people supported moving the workshops to Nanjing. They not only talked about it, but also worked very enthusiastically at that time. Many businessmen borrowed money to open workshops."

Speaking of this, he smiled, "How come this sudden change, our Weihui Mansion's goods rushed in suddenly, and they were all stunned. Not to mention whether they borrow money or not, the cost may also be a problem.

When the new tariff law was just implemented, the price of silk and grain in Jiangnan had been lowered a little, but now the prices have all risen again. Many people are helping us sell grain and silk from Jiangnan, and then selling our goods to Jiangnan. Now Nanjing is full of goods from our Weihui Mansion. This time, there will definitely be a lot of people to be trapped!"

Guo Dan glanced at Kou Yi with a slanted look, "Why do I feel like you are gloating?"

Kou Yi looked stagnant and said embarrassedly: "Son-in-law, you don't know how they ridiculed me at the beginning."

"Wait a minute, I didn't say you shouldn't gloat."

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "I just think your emotions come too early. Now that's the beginning, you're just gloating. When you wait until later, you'll feel bored and calm down."

Kou Yisha said: "This son-in-law can rest assured. I am already very emotional when you come."

"Go away, this is so disgusting."

Guo Dan glared at Kou Yi and asked again: "By the way! I didn't see a place suitable for me and the lay Buddhists to live here. Have you arranged a residence for me?"

“Yes, yes!”

Kou Yizhi nodded and said, "I bought a small courtyard next to Yangzigou, which is only two or three miles away."

It seems that we have really made a lot of money, and we bought it directly. Guo Tan nodded with a smile, "I'm working hard."

Although many people did not notice that Guo Dan had left Wei Hui Mansion, some people still knew it right away.

And the news soon reached the capital.

"This kid has gone to Nanjing. It seems that all this is still under his control."

After hearing this, Wanli breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said to Li Gui: "Calendars are summoned to the palace immediately. In addition, tomorrow's cabinet meeting will allow Fang Fengshi to participate."

"Sister obeys the order."

Half an hour passed, Zhang Jing hurried to the palace.

"I'm going to see your Majesty."

"No gift."

Wanli raised his hand and immediately said straight to the point: "Caring minister, I am here to find you today. There is an important task to hand over to you, because I have recently heard that some ministers in the court are targeting Guo Dan and Wei Hui Mansion everywhere, so they forced Guo Dan to have no choice but to give one million taels to subsidize Wei Hui Mansion."

Zhang Jing was very surprised and said, "Your Majesty, I have never heard of them targeting Guo Dan, but the new tariff law is indeed unfavorable to Weihui Mansion. I have also mentioned this to you."

Wanli said: "I am not sure about this matter, so I want you to investigate. I hope you can find the true evidence at that time, which is right and who is wrong, and use the truth."

He added the next sentence to let Zhang Jing understand, don’t cheat.

It can be seen that he also knows the darkness of the East Factory.

"I obey the order."

After exiting the house, Zhang Jing frowned slightly and muttered to himself that Guo Dan had just gone to Nanjing, and His Majesty asked for a thorough investigation of the matter. Could it be?

He thought for a little while, suddenly looked at the sky, and then slowly walked towards the imperial city.

When he arrived at the imperial city, it was just the time to release the yamen.

"The two Grand Secretary Wang are inseparable now!"

Zhang Jing quietly came to Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue's side.

"Governor."

Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue bowed at the same time.

Zhang Jing said: "I wonder if you two know that Guo Dan suddenly went to Nanjing."

Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue looked at each other. Wang Xijue said, "We have just heard about this and are still discussing this matter just now. I wonder what kind of advice is the governor?"

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "It seems that you still lack supervision, which has caused His Majesty's dissatisfaction. We want our Dongchang to investigate the matter."

Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue were both shocked.

Everyone knows that Wanli is going to be a hooligan when he comes forward.

Zhang Jing said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you in advance. Don't let me find evidence of your targeting Weihui Mansion, otherwise I will not be able to help you."

After saying that, he left alone.

Wang Xijue frowned slightly and said in confusion: "It seems that he is not trying to cause trouble on purpose! Is there really something wrong with Nanjing?"

Wang Jiaping said: "This shouldn't be true. Now the court is united. Who dares to commit crimes against the wind? Why don't I go there in person?"

Wang Xijue hurriedly said, "No, if you leave, then I will be alone in the court. We must not be able to get rid of our own. If it really doesn't work, we can let Jiang Yinglin go to Nanjing to supervise."

Wang Jiaping thought for a moment, nodded and said, "This is OK, Jiang Yinglin is still more reassuring."

On the second day, they came to Dong Pavilion and found Fang Fengshi was there. They felt something was wrong. Just when they were about to ask, they shouted "The Emperor is here" outside, causing them to get up quickly and come to the door to welcome him.

"I am accused!"

Before he could kneel down, Wanli strode in. Before the man could come back to his senses, Wanli was already sitting on the dragon throne, "This etiquette is spared!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The cabinet ministers and Fang Fengshi sat down tremblingly.

Wanli looked around and said, "I recently received a news that someone used the court's tariff reform to target Guo Dan everywhere, so as to force Guo Dan to lose all his money to save the people of Weihui Mansion. In your eyes, the people of Weihui Mansion are no longer the people of my Ming Dynasty, but Guo Dan's people?"

Wang Xijue immediately said: "Your Majesty clearly understands, I know nothing about this."

Wang Jiaping asked back: "I don't know where Your Majesty learned the news. If it is found out, I will punish you severely and never tolerate it. I am willing to be punished. I am willing to be punished. I am reforming tariffs for the sake of the court and the people. I have a clear mind, and the sun and the moon can be seen, and I will never be directed at anyone."

The silent Shen Shixing just glanced at Fang Fengshi.

Fang Fengshi looked unfair. He didn't know what happened. Today, he came to the meeting in a daze.

"I won't say anything about where I know."

Wanli said: "But Guo Dan did take out a million taels to subsidize the people of Weihui Mansion, you should all know this."

Wang Xijue said: "Report to Your Majesty, I do know this, but I don't know why Guo Dan did this. In addition, as far as I know, the people of other prefectures are very supportive of tariff reform."

Wanli said: "You mean that Wei Hui Mansion is hurt, but you still say you are targeting Guo Dan."

Wang Jiaping immediately said: "Your Majesty, we are not sure about the real situation of Weihui Mansion at present, but everyone has benefited from it, but Weihui Mansion was hurt. The problem should be due to it itself, not because of the new tariff law."

Wanli snorted: "Your father is right, and my mother is right, and I don't know who to listen to."

As he said that, he looked at Fang Fengshi and said, "So I plan to let Fang Aiqing supervise this matter."

Fang Fengshi immediately said: "Your Majesty, our Censorate has sent people to various places for supervision."

He told Shen Shixing and the others about this, and it had nothing to do with me.

Wanli said: "From today, you will be fully responsible."

Fang Fengshi said: "I accept the order."

Wanli said again: "Guo Dan saved Wei Hui Mansion in danger and helped the court a lot. I don't want people to think that the court is going to cross the river to demolish it. Therefore, I promised Guo Dan that the new tariff law is definitely not aimed at Wei Hui Mansion. I believe you all my dear friends and don't want me to be a businessman."
