Chapter 993 Gift List

The court officials who supported the cabinet were all looking forward to the cabinet's improvement and examination and implementation, but none of the powerful people in the court were looking forward to it because they all knew that it would definitely not benefit them.

It's a mess.

Wuqing Hou Mansion.

"The Ministry of Works has suffered a considerable blow this year. If the financial power is still assigned to the Ministry of Revenue, what will the Ministry of Works do?" Mo Ruoyou's hair turned white.

The Ministry of Works actually involved a large part of the finances, and some of them were contracted by Guo Dan, which was severely damaged. Now that the six ministries are reorganized, the rest will be sucked away by the Ministry of Revenue.

Chen Yinzhao sighed bitterly: "I'm afraid our canal transportation will not be spared!"

Li Gao snorted: "I knew that the old fox Shen Shixing was uneasy. When he took over Zhang Siwei, he wanted to speak up for Zhang Juzheng. There were really many people who opposed Zhang Juzheng at that time. In order to calm the public anger, he was forced to follow Xiao Gui and Cao Sui. Now he can be regarded as giving him this opportunity."

Chen Yinzhao said depressedly: "Now many people are busy dealing with Guo Dan. However, I thought that this cabinet would suddenly stab us with a knife. We are unable to resist the enemy from both sides!"

It's really fatal.

Originally, the government and the people worked together to deal with Guo Dan, and were so crazy that they stopped Guo Dan's expansion in the south. The cabinet suddenly popped up and their overall plan was disrupted. The cabinet was not about leading them to deal with Guo Dan, but about reform.

Guo Dan wants their interests and the cabinet wants their power.

It's really uncomfortable!

Li Gao sat down and said, "We can't control others, but we have also made bets on Guo Dan's side. If the cabinet is too much, don't blame us for being ruthless."

Chen Yinzhao said: "What the Marquis means is, let's turn to Guo Dan?"

Li Gao nodded and said, "At least Guo Dan is willing to cooperate with us, but the cabinet will not be willing to cooperate with us."

Mo Ruoyou shook his head and said, "At this time, Guo Dan has the upper hand, but we don't need us. If we take the initiative to cooperate with Guo Dan, we will only let Guo Dan slaughter. Why don't you stand up and make the decision for us?"

His meaning is very simple. Nowadays, the powerful group is surrounded by enemies, and there is only one person who can carry the flag. If anyone dares to carry the flag, he will definitely respond to it.

When Li Gao heard this, he hurriedly said, "I can't do it, the Empress Dowager will blame me."

He is not stupid. He usually makes trouble, but he dares not cross the bottom line, because the emperor is behind the two camps, but the emperor did not say that he would establish a third camp. Whoever wants to carry this flag is the emperor's number one enemy.

However, the same problem is also placed in front of Xu Mengchong.

Xing'an Bo Mansion.

"Our Taipu Temple has always been very loyal to His Majesty. To this day, His Majesty still has many IOUs in Taipu Temple. Now His Majesty kicks us away, which is really unkind."

"This Taipu Temple has always been in the Ministry of War. If it is transferred to the Ministry of Revenue, what are we?"

"Master! You have always been very supportive of Your Majesty and have been deeply trusted by Your Majesty. At this moment, you should stand up and make decisions for us!"

Xu Mengchong was really confused when he looked at these old subordinates. This time he was really shot while lying down. If he didn't care, no one would follow the Xu family in the future, but he would have to care. He asked himself that he didn't have the ability to care.

When a person is in the court, he can’t help himself!

"Uncles and uncles, it's not that my father doesn't want to make decisions for you, but that the general situation in the court has been decided and is irreversible. If you go against it, you will only destroy yourself."

Aunt Xu suddenly walked in.

The young minister of Taipu Temple, Lu, immediately said dissatisfied: "What the situation has been decided, I don't believe that Shen Shixing can cover the sky with one hand."

"I don't believe it either." Aunt Xu walked to Xu Mengmeng and smiled and said, "Even if Taipu Temple is transferred to the Ministry of Revenue, the cabinet will not be able to cover the sky with one hand."

Xu Xu, the deputy secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "That's not necessarily the case. Our Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue have always been in a good way to avoid rivers. Once Taipu Temple is transferred to the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue will definitely find a way to suppress us."

Aunt Xu said: "But the imperial court had signed a military pay contract with Guo Dan before."

Xu Xi said angrily: "We have already talked about this with my uncle before. We don't know how to do business, and we can't follow Guo Dan and a tooth merchant to join us. Our family has been an official for generations, but we can't afford to lose face."

"Uncle Xu misunderstood me." Aunt Xu smiled and said, "My younger generation means that no matter whether Taipu Temple is in the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Revenue, we will represent the interests of the army. As long as this remains unchanged, the status of Taipu Temple will not change."

Master Lu asked, "How do you say this?"

Aunt Xu explained: "Military system reform is promoted by Your Majesty, so naturally, it will never allow military system reform to fail. The most important point in military system reform is to ensure that military pay will be paid in full.

According to our dynasty's system of using civil and military control, once finance is unified, the army must have someone to speak for them in the Ministry of Revenue. My father is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and my husband is the contractor of military pay.

In order to ensure that the military pay can be contracted to my husband in full, Your Majesty will surely ensure my father's status in Taipu Temple, prevent the Ministry of Revenue from making things difficult for my husband and delaying his Majesty's major affairs."

Everyone looked at each other with all eyes.

Aunt Xu said again: "Therefore, we should not disobey the Holy Will and prevent the Taipu Temple from being transferred to the Ministry of Revenue, but at the same time, we must also express our attitude. We will defend the interests of the army. In addition, my husband has a relationship, we will definitely get the support of the army."

When everyone heard this, they immediately turned their worries into joy.

The country must need the army, and the interests of the army are constant. If this part of the interests can be represented, their status will not be shaken, because the army will in turn support them.

Master Lu smiled at Xu Mengchong and said, "My uncle, I envy you the most, but you have raised such a good daughter, you are really as good as a man."

Xu Mengchong glanced at him and thought to himself, your face became so fast.

Xu Xi said, "I also hired a good son-in-law. If Mr. Bo doesn't like my humble status, I would rather be in-laws with you."

Xu Mengchong hurriedly said, "My grandson is still missing!"

Before he could finish his words, Xu Xi said, "I am not referring to Rong'er, but your son-in-law. Can't Guo Dan marry into an unlimited marriage?"

"Guo Dan?"

Xu Mengchong opened his eyes and was thinking, is this a relationship between in-laws?

Master Lu said, "You save money, no matter how much you turn, it's not your turn. The British Duke gave the betrothal gift early in the morning."

"Ha ha!"

They returned with satisfaction this time.

Aunt Xu helped them analyze it very clearly.

Military system reform represents the core interests of the emperor, which will be one of Wanli's great achievements. In fact, in a sense, the trend of using civil and military control has been weakened, and it is necessary for civil and military to go hand in hand.

If the military pay can still be randomly assigned to the civil servants, then it is not going to be in the same direction.

Even if the finances are not unified, based on the new military system, the military must have someone to help them stare at the civil servants at the Ministry of Revenue to avoid the army's losses, because they often suffered losses in the past. To put it bluntly, there must be someone who will ask for money for them. That is to say, if Taipu Temple can represent the military, it will also represent the interests of the emperor.

Xu Mengshi was deeply trusted by the emperor. In addition, Guo Dan was the military pay contractor. If he also supported Taipu Temple, Taipu Temple would definitely become a representative of the military.

Then the status of Taipu Temple will only increase but not decrease

With a creaking sound, Guo Dan helped Zhu Yaoyao push open a door.

He stretched out his hand slightly and smiled, "Please, General Manager Li."

Zhu Yaoyao looked at Guo Dan shyly and stepped into the door. There was a very spacious and bright office with simple and elegant decoration, without a single extra device, which was very simple and generous, which was also in line with the culture of Yinoyaxing.

This is the temperament that Kou Weisha injected into Yi Nuoyaxing. It is very simple and never pursues luxury.

“Satisfied?”

Guo Dan asked with a smile.

Zhu Yaoma hurriedly said, "I don't need such a big office."

Guo Dan said: "It's not that you need it, but that Yinuo Food Store needs it. If the office is too small, people will mistakenly think they have gone to the wrong place."

After Guo Dan decided to build Yinuo Grain Store, the office was built in less than half a year, just around the corner to the right of Yinuoya Store. This is Yinuo efficiency.

It will be opened next year, so Guo Dan specially brought Zhu Yaoyao to get to know each other today, who will serve as the general manager of the first Yinuo Grain Store.

"Don't just stand, sit! Try how it feels."

"oh."

Zhu Yaoyi sat down with a little nervousness, and suddenly saw Guo Dan sitting opposite her again. She felt very uncomfortable because the two of them had completely transferred their seats. She suddenly asked, "Guo Dan, can I ask you a question?"

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Of course, what do you want to ask?"

Zhu Yaoma said: "Did you let me be the general manager of Yinuo Grain Store because of my identity?"

Guo Tan nodded and said, "This is of course a reason. If you don't have that identity, you will not be able to enter the core field of our Yinuoya Store. It is precisely because of this identity that I focus on cultivating you. I hope you can stand alone, but you did not disappoint me. Now, in terms of ability, you are the most suitable candidate."

"Yeah?"

Zhu Yaoma still seemed a little unconfident.

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Then you say someone who is more suitable than you, but not to mention my two ladies, they all have their own things to do."

Zhu Yaoyao thought for a while, "I think Xiao An is very good. He is good at talking to people and rarely makes mistakes in his work."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Xiao An is not bad in all aspects, but one thing is worse than you, and it is impossible to compare with you. He does not have the commanding temperament of you."

Zhu Yaoma looked disbelief.

Why don't I know it myself?

Guo Dan said: "I mean, when you go out with Xiao An, no matter how shabby you are dressed, everyone will think that he is just your follower. In fact, Chenchen and Cao Xiaodong were both driven to the shelves, and in the future, they would be either rich or noble, not ordinary businessmen, Xiao An and the others could not suppress the scene. But you have an innate advantage. Even if you face a great official, you will not feel stage frightened, and you don't need to bow down to them."

Zhu Yaoma said depressedly: "But I am a little nervous now."

Guo Dan said, "That's because I'm sitting here. I'm your immediate boss. If you don't have a stage fright, then I'll be very disappointed. In fact, you're pretty good. If it were Xiaoxiao, you'd probably be on the table."

Zhu Yaoxian glanced at Guo Dan slightly, as if she was blaming Guo Dan for his little joke. On the other hand, she felt that Guo Dan's words seemed to make sense.

"If you don't feel confident enough, there is something that may help you increase your confidence a little."

Guo Dan suddenly bent over and picked up a leather bag from the corner of the table, took out a handkerchief from the bag, handed it over, and smiled and said, "Congratulations on becoming the general manager of my Yinuo Grain Store, a small gift, and I will show my heart."

"Thanks!"

Zhu Yaoyao never thought there would be a gift, but seeing that the gift was not very expensive, he took it with both hands. When he took it, he found that there was a young woman embroidered on the handkerchief, wearing a net scarf, a slim purple skirt with a standing collar, and a string of pearl necklaces hanging in the jade neck. She held her cheek with her jade hand, sitting noble and elegantly on the chair.

"This is?"

"This is the general manager of our Yinuo Grain Store. Do you think our Yinuo Grain Store is very trustworthy when you see this person?" Guo Dan smiled.

Zhu Yaoma felt dizzy on her cheeks and said shyly: "How could you say so well?"

Guo Dan pointed at her: "You are just naked jealousy."

Zhu Yaoyao laughed and nodded again, "That's right, I hope I can be as good as her in the future." As she said that, she glanced at the handkerchief, her eyes full of joy.

“Absolute.”

Guo Dan suddenly stood up and said, "I'll take you to the lounge and have a look."

"Oh, I'm working hard!"

Zhu Yaoniu quickly stood up.

When I came to the lounge inside, I saw a bed, a dressing table, and a wardrobe.

"ah?"

Zhu Yaoma suddenly exclaimed.

I saw a purple long skirt hanging in the open wardrobe, a jewelry box on the dressing table, which contained a string of pearl necklaces, a gold leaf bracelet, and a pair of black high heels.
