For Guo Dan, all he can do now is to collect information, because Wanli only verbally granted him participation in the matter, but there was no explanation for the specific matters.

Fortunately, Wanli did not ask him to wait too long, because this opportunity is very rare for Wanli. He must do this quickly to avoid a change if he is late.

Today, Zhang Cheng came to Kou's house in person.

If Kou Shouxin had not known about this beforehand, he would have fainted. Generally speaking, there was nothing good about eunuchs coming to the door, but now he is the leader among eunuchs. How much sin would he suffer?

However, Zhang Cheng did not look at Kou Shouxin at first sight. After all, the status of the two was too far apart, so he just came to look for Guo Dan. Therefore, Kou Shouxin only greeted him as the head of the family, and then went back to the house with great tactfulness.

"What kind of virtue can the people be? Let the inner minister come here in a condescending manner. If there is any order in the future, send someone to inform me." Guo Dan bowed and bowed.

"Don't say these words. Your Majesty attaches great importance to this enthronement ceremony. There must be no mistakes or omissions. Otherwise, you and I will be in danger of your own head!"

Zhang Cheng's words are not alarmist.

In fact, he has always been skeptical about this matter. First of all, this has never happened before, and he doesn't know how to operate it at all;

Secondly, in many aspects, it also goes against the traditional etiquette system, and the ancients attached great importance to tradition;

Finally, many people in the court opposed this matter. If they were allowed to catch the problem, even if they had no life worries, they would have to get flirted.

He must be treated with caution.

"Yes, yes, yes, the inner minister's earnest teachings should be remembered in his heart."

Guo Dan nodded repeatedly, but he was full of confidence in this. Because of this operation, the group of capitalists in later generations were almost playing with it.

Zhang Cheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "First of all, I want to explain to you that this enfeoffment ceremony cannot be changed. After all, there are also palace systems in the palace, and they cannot be changed easily."

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "Of course, this is mainly based on the inner minister. The grass people are just supporting the inner minister. Don't hide it from the inner minister. In fact, the grass people have never thought of changing the ritual, because the grass people don't understand these things very well, but... Doesn't Your Majesty want to have fun with the people? I'm afraid there will be some seats for the 'people'."

Zhang Cheng was silent for a little, and said, "This must be arranged carefully. If it is not arranged properly, it may cause trouble."

Of course he knew that Guo Dan would definitely invite some wealthy businessmen, but the problem was that all the civil and military officials in the court would participate in the enthronement ceremony at that time. If you get a group of wealthy businessmen to stand behind, it will definitely offend all the civil and military officials in the court, which is also his big doubt.

Guo Dan said: "That's what I plan. The people and the people divide the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Then we will arrange it according to this level."

"Scholars, farmers, industrialists and commerce?" Zhang Cheng was stunned and asked, "Do you think this is appropriate?"

When Guo Dan talked with Wanli, he was also present. He knew that "Happiness with the people" was just a slogan, but in fact it was to sell tickets. If it weren't for a wealthy businessman, would it be necessary to invite him?

Guo Dan naturally knew Zhang Cheng's intention and smiled: "I have millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, so I can't invite them all. Naturally, I have to choose some representative scholars, of course, the ministers and officials in the court, and there is no need to invite them any further. For the "agricultural", I think those big landlords are the most representative. As for these "workers", the two largest groups of craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty are silk and porcelain. We can invite some silk shops and porcelain owners to participate. In fact, many of them are also craftsmen. For the merchants, whoever has money is naturally representative."

"So that's it." Zhang Cheng suddenly realized it. After a while, he suddenly laughed, "What a wonderful thing! What a wonderful thing! Your idea is really wonderful."

After a long time, it was equivalent to inviting a group of wealthy people to participate. It was just forcibly named "scholars, farmers, industry and commerce". But the wonderful thing was here. If you just simply bring a group of wealthy businessmen in, it would be too explicit, and the ministers would definitely feel very dissatisfied. They were usually ashamed to be with merchants. In such a grand enthronement ceremony, there was a group of merchants standing behind them. Isn't this to be disgusting? But if it was arranged by hierarchy, even if they were dissatisfied, he would not be able to say it.

Who is dissatisfied? Guo Danfei has to ask him, are you dissatisfied with this hierarchy?

So good, let's be equal.

They are unwilling to join the merchants, isn’t they just defending the hierarchy of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce?

Of course, they were even more afraid to object to the emperor's request to enjoy the people.

This is really amazing.

Zhang Chengrao asked with interest: "What do you want?"

Guo Dan pondered for a moment and said, "Minister, Caomin hopes that Your Majesty can be named as the organizer of my yarn."

Zhang Cheng frowned and said, "The name of the contractor? What does this mean?"

Guo Dan explained: "Simply put, let everyone know that our Yashang was ordered by the emperor to be responsible for part of the matters in the enthronement ceremony."

Zhang Cheng asked, "Why do you need this?"

Guo Dan said embarrassedly: "The inner minister, this matter is not a trivial matter, and it has never happened before. If this is not the case, this person will be unrighteous and will not be able to believe the grass-crowd people at all, and the grass-crowd people can't do anything."

Don't get it behind, you'll be arrested as a liar.

Zhang Cheng nodded slightly, and said with a little doubt: "But this enfeoffment ceremony is very grand and solemn. If you give it to you the name of the organizer, I am afraid it will make people laugh."

Your sister, isn't I looking very embarrassed? Besides, I'm still full of all limbs. Guo Dan secretly disdained her, but said embarrassedly: "Are the grass people have different opinions about this point than the inner minister."

Zhang Cheng hurriedly asked, "Do you tell me what you think?"

Guo Tan said: "Caomin thought that in order to comply with the country's finances, His Majesty was willing to let go of his figure and use humble businessmen like Caomin. Let me ask those wise monarchs since ancient times, who can do this like Your Majesty? And this can also tell others that Your Majesty is eager to seek talent, and it is really a killing of two birds with one stone."

This is OK? Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He immediately pointed at Guo Dan and smiled, "You kid are really smart!"

"The inner minister has been too rewarded." Guo Dan bowed.

Zhang Cheng said again: "But our family has to ask His Majesty for this matter before we can give you a reply."

"Of course, of course." Guo Dan nodded.

The two chatted for a while, and then Zhang Cheng left.

This is the name of the contractor, and Guo Dan will naturally find it difficult to make a difference if he doesn't come down for a day, so naturally there is not much to talk about.

Guo Dan, who had just sent Zhang Cheng away and returned to the yard, found Kou Shouxin standing in front of the yard and looking around outside the door. Seeing that he was back, he hurriedly asked, "The inner minister is gone."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I just left."

Kou Shouxin asked anxiously again: "Then how are you talking?"

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "There has not been agreed yet."

Kou Shouxin's face tightened and said, "Why...why? Did something happen?"

"No." Guo Dan shook his head and said, "It's just that the son-in-law believes that this is empty talk. Our businessmen pay attention to contracts, so the son-in-law hopes that His Majesty can issue an imperial edict to the son-in-law."

With a snap.

The crutch in Kou Shouxin's hand fell to the ground again.

Guo Dan bent over and picked up the crutch, thinking, it seemed that it would not take long before his father-in-law could leave the crutch.

......

After Zhang Cheng returned to the palace, he immediately reported to Wanli.

"No, not bad, he thought very carefully. I did not misunderstand the person!" Wanli nodded in approvingly.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise, this son is indeed a mature person who is inconsistent with his age."

Wanli nodded and said, "As for the naming matter that Guo Dan said, let's take the title of your Silijian."

Zhang Cheng's expression stopped, and then he bowed and said, "Old minister obeys the order."

Wanli is not easy to fool, and he is very cautious. His words are very simple, that is, money must be earned, but you have to bear the blame.

In fact, the naming of the Silijian is equivalent to the emperor's issuance of an order, because the eunuch is completely dependent on the emperor, but compared to direct orders, the emperor has more room for advancement and retreat.

If everyone thinks that this is inappropriate, they will definitely scold the eunuchs in the Silijian, but if everyone agrees, it will of course praise the emperor's sage.

In fact, the role of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty was to take the blame for the emperor. If the emperor wanted to do anything dirty, he would let the eunuchs do it. If something happened, they would be punished. Of course, they also benefited a lot from this. So from this point of view, Wanli's arrangement was very reasonable.
