Chapter 174 Lai Di profiteer(1/2)

"It's reasonable!"

Wanli nodded repeatedly and was the first to express his opinion, "The gambling shops among the people not only do not pay taxes, but also often oppress the people. They harm the country and the people, and have no profit. However, the matter of selling is repeatedly banned, so it is better to be supervised by the court."

In fact, his original intention is that instead of letting you make money, I would rather make money.

"Your Majesty's wiseness."

Xu Mengchong quickly bowed and shouted.

The cooperation between the three of them was quite tacit. Whether it was the cabinet minister or the governor of the East Factory, they were starting to be confused, so why did they fall into this pit?

Zhang Cheng knew it, so he remained silent all the time.

Shen Shixing suddenly said: "Today's discussion is about horse politics reform. Why do we talk about this selling? Even if this move is really beneficial to social stability, what are the benefits of raising horses?"

Guo Dan hurriedly replied: "Reply to Master Huosu, hosting a Marseille, so there are three major benefits for our country's horse politics."

Shen Shixing asked, "I wonder what are the three major benefits?"

Guo Dan replied: "First, the benefits obtained from the Marseille can be used to supplement the high cost of raising horses. I believe that all the adults are clear about the ten pastures taken out by Taipu Temple. Not to mention a thousand good horses, I think even a thousand medium-sized horses are difficult to raise, but on the basis of the Marseille, I can raise two thousand good horses."

Wang Jiaping was shocked and asked, "Are you serious about this?"

This has doubled directly!

Guo Dan nodded and said, "As long as there is no natural disaster, there will be no problem. If I can't pay the horse at that time, I'm willing to compensate you as much as possible. This can be written into the contract."

Could this kid know the magic of immortals? Wang Jiaping asked himself that there was no way to raise two thousand good horses with 60,000 acres of land. This was doubled based on the regulations, and this regulation was founded by hundreds of generations. Raising a war horse requires such a large land.

Guo Dan continued: "The second is to improve the breed of horses. The horses will be able to attract the best horses in the world to participate in the competition. When these horses are mixed together, they will naturally be able to cultivate the best horses. The good horses I mentioned earlier are not ordinary good horses, but one of the best war horses in the world. In addition, they can also cultivate the riding skills of the people of the Ming Dynasty in case of the emergence of the times."

It is easy to understand this point, and Shen Shixing and the others nodded slightly.

“Third.”

Guo Dan said: "It is also the most important point. In fact, horse racing is just a throwing brick and jade. Once the horse racing is held successfully, it will arouse everyone's love for horses, cherish them, and encourage more people to raise horses, because as long as you raise a good horse, you can earn a lot of money for you. Only in this way can my horse politics continue to operate well."

"good!"

Wanli said excitedly: "It's so good."

As soon as he said that, he realized that he seemed to be overly excited, and coughed twice tactically, saying, "What do you guys think?"

Wang Jiaping looked at Shen Shixing and saw Shen Shixing frowned. If Guo Dan could do it, it would be very good. But the problem is that this selling thing is a side-minded and violates morality. Shen Shixing attaches great importance to ethics and morality, and always feels that it is still inappropriate.

Having said that, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the country was not governed by benevolence or by law. In essence, it was governed by virtue, technology, etc., which were second. This morality ranks first, resulting in many policies that were obviously beneficial to the country and the people, but because of the violation of etiquette and ancestral system, it could not be implemented in the end.

But ironically, many of the people who defend these are selfish hypocrites, who treat themselves leniently and discipline others strictly.

This is why some problems were found when Zhang Juzheng were liquidated, but then again, if Zhang Juzheng was like Hai Rui, he would never be able to succeed in the reform. He had to use methods. For example, if you become a shoveler, you would not expect that after shoveling, you would still be full of fragrance.

This is also one of the reasons why Shen Shixing could not become Zhang Juzheng, because he attached too much importance to moral issues. Morality is not bad, but what is needed to govern the country is technology. As the chief assistant, technology should be put first.

Xu Guo saw what Shen Shixing was worried about, so he said, "Your Majesty, even though he said that, it is against morality and etiquette that publicly authorizes the sale, and it may cause dissatisfaction among the people of the world."

Wanli looked at Xu Guo with a little dissatisfaction.

This stopping people from making money is like killing parents!

Guo Dan immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have forgotten to say something about the humble rank."

Wanli hurriedly said, "Say."

This attitude is completely different.

Guo Tan said: "I am grateful to the great grace of the emperor. If you don't have the favor of Your Majesty, I will not be as good as today. Therefore, when you do anything, the first thing you think of is Your Majesty's kindness. Although the position is humble, you also long to share your worries. The same is true for hosting Marseilles. The issues mentioned by several great masters have also been carefully considered. If you cannot benefit the country and the people and cannot share your worries, then don't do it."

It was so righteous that his heart moved the world.

"If all the ministers in the court were like you, why should I be so worried?" Wanli couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't agree. He asked this kid to be an official, and he used his dead father as a shield. The Jinyiwei also took a lot of effort to impose on him. Why do you share your worries? I can't tell at all.

Shen Shixing and the others were ashamed and could only politely say, "I have not shared my worries for you, and my ministers and others should die."

Wanli hurriedly said, "Dear everyone, please give up the courtesy. I am not saying it."

Xu Guo stood up and asked again, "I wonder how this Marseille is beneficial to the country and the people?"

Guo Dan said: "If I get the authorization of the court, I will name this Marseille 'Ming Dynasty Charity Marseille'. Its purpose is to "help the elderly and help the disabled, help the poor and save the orphans." Every year, I will use 30% of the profits obtained from Marseille as charity funds to specifically help those people living in poverty."

"So much?" Wanli blurted out.

Shen Shixing and the others immediately looked at Wanli in surprise.

You, the iron cock, I will definitely be back when you play me last time. You don’t think I am just going to take revenge on the old fox Xu Mengshen. Guo Dan smiled secretly and said, “What is this money counting when you can share your worries and repay the emperor’s kindness.”

It’s not your money, of course you say that. Wanli Yuguang secretly glanced at Shen Shixing and others, then squeezed out a smile and nodded and said, “It’s rare that you have this heart. I’m very moved, very moved.”

He was so motivated that he waived Guo Dan's commission, but Guo Dan's commission was at most 10%. It was really not worth the loss when he spit out 30%.

"Thank you for your praise."

Guo Dan pretended to be stupid and said to Shen Shixing and others: "All the great masters are capable of governing the country. They should also know that the gap between the rich and the poor in our dynasty is getting bigger and bigger. The rich are very rich, but those who have no money are all problems. If this continues, it is probably a major hidden danger. And this horse is definitely not something that the poor can play with. Generally, only the rich can support it, and only the rich can understand the horse. This charity Marseille can gather many rich people, guide them to do good together, and help more poor people."

Shen Shixing, Wang Jiaping looked at Guo Dan with a little surprise.

A businessman actually realized the gap between the rich and the poor. This overall view is really incredible!

Although Guo Dan said this very beautifully, everyone knows in their hearts that gathering rich people to do good is to win money from rich people and help poor people. Only rich people can afford to play horses, but poor people cannot understand it.

Wanli nodded and said, "This idea is indeed good. It can not only improve the horse's politics, but also benefit the country and the people and maintain public order. It is beneficial without any harm."

"His Majesty."

Guo Dan hurriedly said, "This strategy is not a benefit but no harm."

Wanli was stunned for a moment. I endured 30% of the pain and spoke for you, but you were still sing a contradictory tune to me here. It was really outrageous. But he said, "I don't know what the harm is?"

Guo Tan said: "Report to Your Majesty, if our Majesty is running well, we naturally don't need to do this. After all, there is no precedent for this matter. What is the result? It is still unknown. It is only because our Majesty is difficult to maintain, so we have a humble position to take this inferior policy and hope to achieve miraculous results."

This kid is so swearing! A smile flashed in Wanli's eyes and nodded, "That's true." He glanced at him and asked again, "I wonder what you all my dear friends think?"

Shen Shixing, Wang Jiaping and others looked embarrassed. Guo Dan's words were obviously mocking them. If you hadn't done this, I wouldn't have the chance to stand here and give advice.

The iron-like facts are in front of them. What else can they say? In the past, they were all in charge, but in the end they managed it.

Shen Shixing finally let go and said, "I think I can give it a try."

Wang Jiaping and others also nodded, saying that they could try it, which shows that they still have some reservations.

Wanli looked at Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng again, and they immediately expressed their support.

Wanli said: "Then do it."

Xu Mengchong suddenly said: "Your Majesty, why not sign a contract with Guo Dan here? With Your Majesty, the Chief Supervisor, the Minister, the Governor, and all the cabinet ministers here to supervise, you can also avoid mistakes."

Wanli glanced at Xu Mengchong, do you think I am mentally retarded?

Zhang Cheng understood it and smiled and said, "This is just an attempt. There is no need to mobilize others like this? Xing'an Bo has made some big fuss. Just be authorized by your Taipu Temple."

Xu Mengchong hurriedly said, "Although this matter is a trivial matter, it conflicts with our law after all, and this is not the power of Taipu Temple. If you only have the authorization of Taipu Temple, it will be difficult to convince!"

Wanli often deals with Xu Mengshen. Don’t you know the intention of this old fox, it is clearly to pull them into the water. He and Guo Dan were discussing that Xu Mengshen would take the blame and waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, Xing’an Bo, this matter has been discussed, and the cabinet has agreed. Just authorize it to the Taipu Temple. I am a little tired, and today’s meeting will end here. You can take your leave.”

"His Majesty......"

"I respectfully send you my Majesty, long live my emperor."

The words of Shen Shixing and others immediately drowned out Xu Mengchong's voice.

They are not the ones who dominate this matter, so why should they take responsibility? It would be good if they can promise you.

When Xu Mengchong met Wanli, who was like a scoundrel, he could only secretly curse in his heart.

Guo Danke saw it all and thought, the people standing here are so beautiful, I can't fight them head-on. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Xu Mengchong beside him, thinking, fortunately, my uncle is sheltering me from the wind and rain.

After leaving the hall, Shen Shixing and the others left silently, as if they knew nothing.

Xu Mengmeng grabbed Guo Dan, opened his eyes wide and said, "Guo Dan, things have come to this point, you can't give up the trouble for me anymore."

Guo Dan said seriously: "Please rest assured, uncle, I will help uncle get this done."

Xu Mengchong felt that it was still unstable. This kid was too cunning. He laughed and said, "This man naturally believes in you. Let's go and sign the contract quickly."

What if you promised to believe me?

In order to avoid the long and long nights, Xu Mengchong immediately pulled Guo Dan to Taipu Temple and quickly drafted the contract. One hour later, the two parties signed a ten-year contract.

"Huh...it's been decided."

Xu Mengmeng took the contract and breathed a sigh of relief. He had been sleeping all these days and muttered to himself: "Although that kid is cunning, if he had signed the contract, he would still do it. He has never disappointed me."

As he said that, he looked at the contract again. Suddenly, he frowned, "No, it seems something is wrong. It is written in a little more detailed way, as if it had been thought about it, but he thought of it last night. Wait, how could the news suddenly come out?..."

He carefully sorted out the past and after the incident in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more strange he became. He suddenly slapped the contract on the table and roared: "Oh! I've been trapped."

......

"Haha...it's really easy to get it!"

Guo Dan, who came out of Taipu Temple, couldn't help but laugh proudly. This drama was really avenge, and he got all the money, but Xu Mengchong was the one who took the blame, especially because he took 30% of the money from the iron cock Wanli to do charity. It was not his own money, but he earned a reputation. It was so enjoyable.

Just when he was proud, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Guo Dan, Guo Dan."

Guo Dan turned around and saw that it was Li Gui who ran over. He quickly looked down and bowed, "So it's Eunuch Li."
