As he was talking, Guo Dan suddenly found that Wanli looked strange and remained silent, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Your Majesty also supports doing this?

If the emperor supports it, he can only agree.

He tentatively said, "If Your Majesty makes other arrangements, then the humble position will of course cooperate with you."

Wanli was stunned and glanced at Guo Dan, knowing that he must have misunderstood, and sighed: "Of course I don't want them to do this."

This Grand Canyon is his, the country's money, at least he thinks it is his, which means that the court takes his money to acquire his shares and then control his business. That is a huge loss. It is precisely because he is unwilling to summon Guo Dan.

"Then why..." Guo Dan said curiously.

Wanli sighed and said, "Because Wang Xijue said it very reasonably, the Grand Canyon is not my nominal, but the merchant's. It is wrong to control this firearm in the hands of the merchant. Moreover, he suggested that the court offer a reasonable price to acquire shares, not to take over the robbery. If all the civil and military officials of the court support this...!"

After all, he is the emperor and has to take the overall situation into consideration. He can only take care of Guo Dan while being rational. If he doesn't care, he will not be too biased towards Guo Dan because he has started this, so others can learn to do this.

However, for Guo Dan, he could only think of letting the fat man stop him for the time being. He had to allow the court to acquire it. Since you took out the shares and sold them, you could acquire them as long as you have money.

The Emperor and Shang did not discuss any results at the moment.

They all hoped that the ministers would fight each other as before.

As soon as Guo Dan left the Qianqing Palace, he heard a laugh, "You'll be in trouble."

"Inner phase?"

Guo Dan turned his head and saw Zhang Cheng standing by the wall, hurried over and said, "Princess, I'm just about to find you."

Zhang Cheng said: "Do you want to ask, what do the ministers think of Wang Xijue's suggestions?"

Guo Dan nodded.

Zhang Cheng said: "Our family tells you that most ministers support it."

Guo Dan said depressedly: "Do even those censors support me?"

Zhang Cheng nodded.

"Why?"

Guo Dan said incredibly: "Aren't they incompatible with the cabinet?"

Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "You can't understand this. Now the court has completely lost control of you and no one can stop you. You have been doing it frequently recently, but the court has not said a word. It's not that they don't want to say it, but that they don't know how to say it. This canyon is in your hands, and no one can interfere except His Majesty, but if the court buys it back, then anyone can reach out."

Speaking of this, he whispered: "In addition, although Your Majesty asked Wang Xijue to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Li Sancai's power in the Ministry of Revenue should not be underestimated. If the Ministry of Revenue pays for it, it may not be controlled by the cabinet."

Guo Dan frowned and asked, "Is there any way for the ministers to make their sects fight?"

Zhang Cheng shook his head and said, "Our family has no choice. You are making great progress now. Even the East Factory is currently retreating from you. The ministers are afraid of you. They can restrain you. The ministers are happy to see you. Our family advises you to find a way out of business. Your Majesty can only ensure that this is a fair deal."

Guo Dan sighed: "But the problem is that after the acquisition, it will become unfair."

This is really not awesome news.

......

East Factory.

"Ouch! That Wang Xijue is enlightened!"

When Zhang Jing heard this news, he couldn't help but say happily.

Liu Shouyou said: "Governor, this suggestion was not thought of by Wang Xijue."

"Who is that?" Zhang Jing asked hurriedly.

Liu Shouyou said: "It was the solution that Cao Ke, the son-in-law of Shen Shixing."

"Cao Ke?"

Zhang Jing thought about it and remembered such a person, saying, "This person has always been unknown in the court!"

Liu Shouyou said: "Maybe this was instructed by Shen Shixing. It seems that Shen Shixing intends to promote Cao Ke."

Zhang Jing said: "Don't say that he promoted his son-in-law, even if he promoted his son, it was not as threatened as Guo Dan."

Liu Shouyou said: "The governor means that we also support the cabinet."

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "At least we shouldn't object."

......

Yinuoyaxing.

"In the past, officials in the court used their authority to attack you, and it was indeed unfair to you, and you should be angry. But this time...!"

Gu Gu Xu looked at Guo Dan with beautiful eyes and said curiously: "This time, Wang Xijue wants to acquire shares in the Grand Canyon in compliance and legal manner, so you won't be so angry."

Guo Dan rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you know their true purpose?"

He snorted: "Is it just acquiring shares? When I am a three-year-old child, once the imperial court controls the Grand Canyon, we have to convince them first of all we do.

I can convince Zhou Feng and the others because we trust each other, but I will never easily convince the court, because we lack trust between us, which will only make the Grand Canyon like the court. A very simple question is that we can make a year of quarrel, and what kind of firearms are produced? Forget about raising pigs, no, even raising pigs is probably not good."

Aunt Xu nodded and said, "Of course I know, but can you replace the court? A country always needs a government. I thought you could also try to cooperate with the court. If the court invests in it, everyone's interests will be consistent and you will have more room for it."

"impossible."

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "I will never cooperate with them even if they are not successful or have enough trouble."

Aunt Xu said: "Maybe this is just your prejudice."

"I don't deny that I am full of prejudice against the court."

Guo Dan spread his hands and said aggrievedly: "But I can't blame me for this. They have never succeeded. They often make things a mess. Why do I believe them? Moreover, the country uses my income tax to buy my shares. Does the layman think this is reasonable? If the court takes out the money and cooperates with me to build roads and help the people, I will never object."

Aunt Xu said calmly: "At least it is much more reasonable than before."

Guo Dan looked at Aunt Xu and said, "Laby, we never argue about right or wrong."

Aunt Xu said: "But the solution I can think of is to cooperate with the court, for example, let Taipu Temple take on the heavy responsibility of acquisition."

"Taipu Temple?"

Guo Dan was stunned and said, "Your father?"

Aunt Xu said: "Taipu Temple became a financial department by chance, but now the financial responsibilities of Taipu Temple have never been clarified. Moreover, the status of Taipu Temple is very special. Why not use this to transform Taipu Temple and let Taipu Temple be completely independent from the Ministry of War."

Taipu Temple was always under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, but after Wanli took power, he did not like Taipu Temple to be too much checks and balances by the Ministry of War. He hoped to turn Taipu Temple into his own small treasury, resulting in the power of Taipu Temple becoming increasingly greater, but it still needs to be controlled by the Ministry of War.

The interest groups around Xu Mengchong are actually related to the Ministry of War.

Guo Dan pondered for a while and said, "In this way, Master may be above the Ministry of Revenue."

Aunt Xu did not deny that this was also an opportunity for their Xu family to rise, and she smiled and said, "But you also benefited from it. Rong'er was the major shareholder of your Yaxing, and Your Majesty also trusted my father very much."

Guo Dan thought for a while and said, "If your Xu family wants to take control of my Yashang, I agree with it, but Taipu Temple, after all, that is a state department. Who knows how long can Bo Ye control Taipu Temple?"

If he wanted to say this, Aunt Xu could not object. After all, Xu Meng was old and smiled: "Then you can only use trading methods. Isn't this what you are best at?"

Guo Dan sighed: "This time is really a bit tricky. If the imperial court had to acquire it with integrity, I really don't know how to deal with it."

If you follow the business principles and regard the country as giving a customer, and the country spends money to buy it properly, of course he cannot object. If he opposes, he violates the shareholding contract, which is a waste of himself.

Although he does not care how many shares he owns now, it is because everyone has equal relations, but the consequences of the court must be an unequal existence, no matter how many shares the court holds.

Will those shareholders dare to choose to oppose the court and support him at the meeting?

This may be possible.

......

Wanli was not idle there, and he captured the king first, so he quickly called Shen Shixing to ask.

I trust you very much, but you play this trick with me.

Is your cabinet trying to rebel?

"Report to Your Majesty, this suggestion was indeed proposed by Cao Ke, but I did not know about it in advance. It was Wang Xijue who told me." Shen Shixing said truthfully.

Wanli said: "But Shoushen also supports it?"

Shen Shixing hesitated for a moment and said, "I do support it."

Wanli said without saying a word: "I want to hear what you have to think."

Shen Shixing said: "Your Majesty, this firearm can only be used in the army, not in the civilians. However, the arms produced in the Grand Canyon are the best in our Ming Dynasty. There is no doubt that this is not a problem, but the nine border towns cannot purchase the firearms of the Grand Canyon.

Your Majesty should also know the reason. As Your Majesty said at the beginning, our Ming Dynasty cannot put on better weapons without using them. Once the court acquires the Grand Canyon, it would be natural for our Ming army to use the firearms produced by the Grand Canyon.

Of course, I also know that the Grand Canyon has today is all due to Guo Dan's contribution. He is good at managing it. If someone else is used to manage it, it will be counterproductive. I suggest that the court acquire only a small number of shares to make the Grand Canyon have a court background. In this way, everything is legitimate, and it can also make up the strengths of both and flourish our Ming Dynasty."

Wanli's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Not bad!

At present, the Grand Canyon only produces firearms from the Huguang Shenji Camp, but that is only a partial army, and the elite troops are all in the north. If the Grand Canyon has a court background, then you can get more military orders from the court.

Then he will make more money, and the imperial court will have to pay for the shares to buy!

Shen Shixing secretly glanced at Wanli and smiled secretly.

He also knew Wanli's weakness.

......

Ministry of Revenue.

"Does Mr. Li also support doing this?"

Zhang Heming asked.
