Chapter seven hundred and thirteenth storm surge
Judging from Shen Shixing's attitude, he obviously wanted to accept this failure calmly.
Just be willing to accept the loss.
Therefore, he did not have much thought about the price he had to pay.
In fact, he had thought of it for a long time.
On the other hand, if they win, the other party will have to pay a heavy price, and they will definitely have to replace a large number of officials.
They also ordered many censors to retire and return home before.
But this person often walks by the river, so there is no one who doesn’t have his shoes wet.
And all this has just begun, wet shoes is a trivial matter, and many people will directly push him into the river.
East Factory.
"Governor, do you think Your Majesty will really approve Wang Xijue's resignation?" Xing Shangzhi asked.
Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Even if Your Majesty does not approve it, Wang Xijue will no longer be willing to stay in the court. This matter may be a foregone conclusion."
Xing Shangzhi heard this, but said with a sad face: "If Wang Xijue really leaves, it would be like breaking one leg of Shen Shixing. Shen Shixing, who is elderly and lame, is afraid that it will be difficult to make a difference in the future!"
There was a hint of worry in his tone.
Zhang Jing sneered: "Don't he still have one leg?"
"Li Chengliang?"
Xing Shangzhi said in surprise.
Zhang Jing nodded.
Xing Shangzhi seemed a little unbelievable and hurriedly said, "But Governor, have you always adopted a balance strategy? But in the current situation, the cabinet is already in danger. If the cabinet is removed, I am afraid that the censors will concentrate their efforts to deal with us. At this time, we should help the cabinet."
This Zhang Jing is not the kind of eunuch who is extremely wise as Feng Bao. Although Feng Bao is a eunuch, he has extremely high political wisdom and he also possesses the talent for governing the country.
Zhang Jing was not as lucky as Liu Jin. When he met the nonsensical ancestor Zhengde, he met the very, very stingy Wanli. No matter how strong the outer court was, Wanli would never give up too much power to the eunuch.
In history, Wanli lived in the palace for so many years, but there was never a powerful eunuch who was in power. Similarly, there was no powerful minister who was in power.
He always firmly controlled his power, and the side effect was that the entire court was in a semi-paralyzed state.
Both of these points have caused Zhang Jing to be unable to control the outer court, but he is definitely not an ordinary person to be able to get to this point. He has always adopted a balance strategy, just not allowing the outer court to dominate.
In the past, when Shen Shixing was very strong in the outer court, he chose to help the censor group, but he would not help the censors blatantly. He just helped them secretly. You should know that many censors can scold him every day.
This made Shen Shixing very afraid of him, and Shen Shixing was unwilling to push Zhang Jing down from the censor group.
But now the situation has reversed, the cabinet has become in danger, and the entire cabinet team seems to be about to collapse. This has had too great impact on the cabinet, and Shen Shixing may find it difficult to convince the public. When the cabinet chief minister cannot control the six ministries, he will occupy the pit and not shit, and it will be a matter of time before he leaves.
Nowadays, many ministers no longer support Shen Shixing.
Logically speaking, Zhang Jing should immediately concentrate his efforts to help the cabinet overcome difficulties and avoid the censor group being the dominant.
But Zhang Jing mentioned Li Chengliang at this time, and Li Chengliang was the largest fulcrum outside Shen Shixing. If Li Chengliang also collapsed, Shen Shixing would almost be abolished.
"You are right, but there is also a Guo Dan involved in it."
Zhang Jing frowned and said, "This kid once made me helpless and made His Majesty closer to the inner minister. Now that this matter has reached such a point, if the cabinet is relieved, they will fight back. If they succeed, then Guo Dan will definitely come back. This opportunity is once a lifetime. I would rather spend more effort to help the next cabinet than allow Guo Dan to have another chance to turn the tables."
After he judged this, the cabinet was completely bound to Guo Dan, and it was a prosperous and a loss. Guo Dan was close to Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Cheng posed a great threat to him. No matter how arrogant the censor was, he could not replace him, but Zhang Cheng could.
Weighing the pros and cons, he felt that Guo Dan and Zhang Cheng had a greater threat to him. At worst, when the censor was strong, he endured for a while and waited until the next cabinet came to power.
Zhang Jing said: "Send the evidence we have collected to Li Zhi and the others."
"The lower official obeys the order."
Xing Shangzhi bowed his fists and bowed.
He had a premonition that the entire court would face a reshuffle.
But the same thing is true, their efficiency is too slow, and the business world led by Guo Dan is already beginning to reshuffle.
In fact, in recent years, the development of business in the Ming Dynasty has been more or less inseparable from Guo Dan's shadow. It is precisely because of Guo Dan's large workshop and Guo Dan's assembly line that completely changed the production model and promoted the prosperity of business.
And it was either almost all businessmen admitted that Guo Dan was the richest businessman in the Ming Dynasty.
No one can stand shoulder to shoulder with it.
It's the only one.
Now this boss is shrinking completely, and it is very thorough. Except for Xinxing and Yaxing, he has sold almost everything he can sell, and even bought the fleet and warehouse. You must know that these are the two powerful weapons that Guo Dan relies on for survival, otherwise he would not be able to control the entire trade.
Then the business world is naturally surging.
At the third update.
"Husband, even if you don't want to rest, others will have to rest!"
Kou Weisha came to Guo Dan's office and reminded carefully.
"Ah?" Guo Dan was stunned, then turned his head to look at Zhu Yaotai, who was covered in fatigue, and smiled and said, "Fangchen, you go back and rest first."
Li Fangchen hurriedly said, "I...I'm not tired."
I have to say that being Guo Dan’s secretary is really painful and happy, because Guo Dan often goes out. When Guo Dan is not around, he has nothing to do, but Guo Dan has to be busy and often works all night, so they can only accompany him.
Guo Tan smiled and said, "This is not a question of whether you are tired or not. In the future, you have to learn to be obedient and listen to your voice. Obviously, the president wants to talk to me about things that you don't want to be heard by you."
The blame was so natural that Kou Weisha was stunned and couldn't help but look at Guo Dan in confusion. Is that what I mean?
Li Fangchen took it seriously, and his pretty face suddenly turned red and hurriedly stood up, nodded quickly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll go out first."
After Li Fangchen left, Kou Weisha woke up and immediately asked, "Why do you say that?"
Guo Dan said seriously: "She has always wanted to prove that she is not worse than others, including physically. There are still many people outside doing things, but you ask her to go back and rest. This will frustrate her confidence. She no longer has much confidence. My statement can make her more accepting."
“…!”
Kou Weisha knew that the blame was decided, because Guo Dan was too reasonable, so she sat down and handed a copy of the data to Guo Dan, saying: "This is just counted by the Finance Department. If we can sell all the things we should sell next month, then our existing reserve materials will last until next year."
Guo Dan asked again: "Did you tell those employees that we will use materials instead of silver to pay them wages in the future?"
Kou Weisha nodded and said, "I said it, they all agreed, but I heard from Chenchen that some employees who were sold by us have a lot of complaints about us! Because the new owner is not as generous as us."
Guo Dan shrugged and said, "This is nothing. Everyone can live if they do this. If I overestimate myself and keep them, it means that everyone will die together. It is better to live without dying."
Kou Weisha said again: "In addition, there is also the matter of selling. Although the specific number has not been released yet, according to the current transaction situation, it is impossible to sell it for much money. Adding it together may be sold to... at most!"
"100,000 taels." Guo Dan said first.
Kou Weisha was stunned and said, "Do you know?"
Guo Dan nodded and said, "I have calculated before that it is all houses and warehouses, how much can they cost, but our printing and statistical techniques have not been sold. One hundred thousand taels are already very good."
Kou Weisha said: "But it took a lot of money to build it all."
Guo Tan smiled and said, "But those warehouses and workshops are always there, and we can get them back at any time, and at a lower price."
Guo Dan was already selling his property, and the court had not announced the news of taking back the four deeds, because they also knew that the matter was black, and they had to make a lot of preparations to turn it into white.
After many days, the court finally issued an announcement to take back the four prefectures.
Although this was drafted by Yang Mingshen and others, it did not criticize Guo Dan. It only explained that although Guo Dan performed very well in contracting the four prefectures, it also made the court unable to manage them uniformly. Especially when encountering difficulties, it would add a lot of difficulties to the court, which explained the unfavorable problem of the disaster relief of Guide Prefecture this time, and blamed part of the responsibility on the Henan Road Administration's inability to arrange the arrangements, so he decided to take back the four prefectures.
After all, they have a ghost in their hearts, and they are also worried that if they are pushed to Guo Tan's head, the people of Weihui's mansion and Kaifeng's mansion will definitely curse.
But even so, it still caused an uproar in the capital.
Regarding the disaster relief situation in Henan Province, it has been spread to the capital, and everyone is still talking about Guo Dan's extremely magical disaster relief operation, but he did not expect such a result.
Of course, there are many people who gloat about it.
And not only the powerful, but also many ordinary people are gloating.
After all, hating the rich is also human nature.
Many young people think that everyone is a commoner, why is Guo Dan so rich? This is unfair.
And when the news reached the four palaces of Wei Hui, Kaifeng, Zhangde and Huaiqing.
Everyone was stunned.
There is also this kind of operation.
The people of the four prefectures were very fortunate that they were in Weihui Mansion or Kaifeng Mansion, and they were even proud, especially when they saw the tragic situation of Guide Mansion next to them.
Guo Dan's prestige has also been further improved.
saint!
god!
Everyone thinks that it is not too much to praise Guo Dan this time.
But they never expected that what they would be greeted would be to return to the arms of the government.
This...what is the difference between this and going back to hell?
Fake!
This must be fake!
The people of the four prefectures could not believe this fact.
Chapter completed!
