The final result is done.

No one expected this to be the result in advance, and it happened so suddenly. In fact, all parties were ready for a protracted battle. For the defensive party, dragging is actually a very useful move, because it is often dragged and dragged, and it is left alone.

It can only be said that Aunt Xu's move is light and makes a big move. It seems very simple, but it is extremely exquisite. She accurately judges the psychology of all parties and the core interests of all parties, and then throws out Ma Zheng.

However, it is better to say that no one wants the other party to get the fat piece of meat than to say that no one wants the other party to get the fat piece of meat. For all parties, they can accept it because they can intervene.

Therefore, this result seems to be sudden, but it is actually the only choice for all parties.

After Li Zhi and the others were in the officialdom for so many years, they really didn't expect that this might be Guo Dan's conspiracy, but they dared not gamble. If Wang Jiaping really reaps the benefits of the fisherman, it would be like picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.

Since the ministers all supported it, Wanli was much more relaxed. He quickly struck while the iron was hot and issued a formal order to authorize Guo Dan to hold the right to charity horse racing and the right to sell the right to charity.

Although selling is prohibited by Ming Dynasty laws, the final interpretation is in the hands of the court. This is a charity selling, not a selling. Don’t think so dirty.

This is really a monopoly of imperial edicts. Only Guo Dan is allowed to hold it alone. Others are illegal. You should know that this is a Wanli transaction. Whoever wants to steal his transaction will make you worse than death.

Wanli directly ordered the Dongchang to set up a department to specifically track the matter. Similar Marseille will definitely not work. Even if it is the traditional Marseille in the past, as long as it is for the public, it must be declared to the court and must be approved by the emperor before it can be held.

Well, that's so shameless.

After the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar...

Especially the businessmen, they couldn't believe it.

That's OK?

Everyone is a businessman, why is there such a big difference?

This really hurts self-esteem!

However, they are not very clear about the details and are not easy to make arbitrary judgments.

However, Guo Dan really has no time to promote it for the time being, and he still has to prepare a lot of work. First, it is to build a racecourse.

Today, Guo Dan and Xu Mengchong came to the intersection of Beijing, Xianghe and Wuqing...

“Not here yet?”

Xu Mengchong looked at Guo Dan in surprise.

Guo Dan shook his head and said, "I didn't say no, I just said I wanted to build something."

Xu Mengchong said anxiously: "This was a horse farm trained by the imperial guards in the capital. It was the best in this area. Only the Royal Horse Farm in Sanhe County is better than here. Where else is the construction needed, you can just hold it as soon as possible."

No wonder Xu Jirong is a prodigal son, it turns out to be hereditary. Guo Dan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, I want to hurry up, but this is just a training horse farm. I want to hold a horse race to accommodate the audience. This is not the same thing, it must be built."

Xu Mengchong said bitterly: "Guo Dan, you are still young after all. I don't know that the affairs in the court are changing rapidly. Some things cannot be delayed. If this is too late, it will change."

Although the general situation is decided at present, he is still very nervous because if the Marseille doesn't start for a day, he doesn't know whether it will be successful or whether there will be any mistakes. Once there are any mistakes, he will definitely be impeached. Those people are not sincerely supporting them.

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Of course I know this, but it's even more terrible that I'm making a mistake in my busy schedule."

Xu Mengchong nodded and said, "That's true."

At this time, a small official came over, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you have brought you here."

Xu Mengchong turned his head and saw more than ten people standing behind the official, all of whom were shrugging their shoulders, bent over, their eyes were dull and their expressions were dull. He couldn't help but say to Guo Dan: "These people are the swordsmen who manage this generation of ranches. Are you sure you want to use them?"

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Confirm."

"Look clearly." Xu Mengqiu felt anxious: "If they have the ability, they would not stay in these wasteful pastures."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "But I think that if they have a relationship, they won't stay here, which shows that they are a master of this pen and pen."

Xu Mengchong said: "With that being said, do you look at their appearance and look like capable people?"

Guo Dan shook her head and said, "Whoever stays here will become like this. It has nothing to do with ability."

Xu Mengchong felt very uncomfortable and said angrily: "What do you think has something to do with it?"

"Hehe..." Guo Dan could only smile awkwardly.

Xu Mengchong glared at him and said helplessly: "Okay, since you are determined to use them, I won't say much. In fact, they can really use them for you, and I am happy, otherwise, I'm afraid they will become beggars."

According to the original agreement, the officials and yamen runners of these ten ranchs had to be laid off, and even some small officials had to be laid off. Without so many ranches, there would be no need for so many officials, that is, the institutions were streamlined. After all, they had to spend money to support them when they stayed here, and the annual expenses of these ranches were all given to Guo Dan as a reward.

Now it's time to lay off this side and Guo Dan recruits again, but Xu Mengchong doesn't believe it. If a change of master, these people will become elites.

"Nephew Guo Xian, Nephew Guo Xian."

Suddenly I heard a scream.

Xu Mengchong turned around and saw a round fat man running over, "Isn't this the timber merchant Chen Ping?"

"I asked him to come over to talk about building the horse farm." As he said that, Guo Dan waved to Chen Ping again.

Xu Mengchong was not interested in the business, so he said, "Then you talk, I'll go back first."

"My uncle walks slowly."

Xu Mengqiu walked slowly towards his carriage with his hands on his back, thinking to himself, it's a pity that Rong'er is not good at doing well, otherwise, such a trivial matter would not require me to run around in person. Thinking of this, he suddenly asked Xu Maodao beside him, "Have you ever been looking for Feng'er?"

"The villain had met the eldest lady the day before yesterday."

Xu Mao said embarrassedly.

"Then why are you..." As soon as he said that, Xu Mengchong paused suddenly and turned to say, "She doesn't want to come back, right?"

Xu Mao said: "The eldest lady said that since she has become a monk, she is... and...."

A hint of anger flashed in Xu Mengfeng's eyes and snorted: "Since she doesn't want to, that's fine. I just pretend that I have never given birth to this daughter. By the way, where is Rong'er?"

Xu Mao said even more embarrassedly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, has returned to Beijing recently, and my uncle has always been with Your Highness, Your Highness," he said.

"Why are the two of them getting mixed up again?"

Xu Mengqiu felt desperate and wanted to die, and lamented: "Although I am not a sage, I also asked myself that I have never done anything that hurts the world, so why are these descendants worse than each generation."

...

...

Chen Ping came to Guo Dan, glanced at Xu Mengchong, and whispered: "Nephew Guo Xian, am I disturbing you from talking to Uncle?"

"No, the official came just right, I happened to finish talking to my uncle."

"That's good, that's good."

Chen Ping nodded and asked again: "I don't know why my nephew asked me to come here?"

“Big deal.”

Guo Dan smiled.

Chen Ping said excitedly: "What big deal?"

Guo Dan pointed to the vicinity and said, "I plan to build a large racecourse here. Are you interested?"

“Of course there is.”

Chen Ping was immediately excited. They just didn't want to participate in Marseille directly, but if you want to buy wood, then of course he bought it. In addition, the imperial edict has been released now, so he is not as worried as before.

Guo Dan said: "Don't be excited for now. Not only here, but also those ten large ranches, will be rebuilt."

Chen Ping was really not excited and said in a difficult face: "Ten large ranches, this..."

Guo Tan asked: "Is there any problem?"

Chen Ping hesitated for a while, suddenly sighed and said, "Nephew, I don't hide it from you. Your fangs have not been built yet. You have given me such a big deal. I... I am willing but not capable!"

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Don't be humble, you are the largest timber merchant in the capital, what is this?"

Chen Ping said depressedly: "I don't know anything about it. The so-called first timber merchant refers to only merchants, but in fact, the real big timber merchants are not entirely merchants."

This wood usually has to be bought from Jiangnan. It is a very troublesome thing to transport wood. Therefore, the real big wood merchants are not pure merchants. They may just be the butlers of some big man’s house.

"I see."

Guo Dan nodded and frowned, "But the official, this is a very good opportunity. If you hadn't been good at it, I wouldn't have looked for you."

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "You have to understand that this is still the first phase of the project, at least the second phase and the third phase, because I will have to build some restaurants and tea shops here, and at least three years."

Chen Ping was very moved. This was a big deal, but at the same time he was even more entangled and said, "I... I really want to go ahead, but I really don't have such great ability."

Speaking of the latter, he was full of reluctance, but he didn't dare to force himself, because he knew that this matter was not that simple. If something went wrong, he could not settle it even if he spent money.

Guo Dan sighed, "Since that's the case, I won't force myself to find someone else."

"Wait a minute."

Chen Ping asked, "I wonder how my nephew plans to give the money?"

Guo Dan said: "I can't give it to you all at once. To be honest, this is my private contract. I can't afford so much money. I can only wait until I make a profit and I will give it to you slowly."

Chen Ping frowned and said, "Nephew, such a large project requires a lot of money. If you have to wait until Marseille makes a profit, I can't afford it. Nephew, you don't know that a lot of wood has to be transported from Jiangnan. Our timber merchants have to turn over, which is slower than those tea merchants and porcelain merchants. If you don't know, please find a few more timber merchants and let's do it together."

Guo Dan shrugged his shoulders with regret and said, "Of course I will consider this, but I always think that if the official takes over this transaction, it can make the official's transaction go to a higher level, because it is not only a financial benefit, but also other aspects. After all, this was contracted by the court to me."

Chen Ping was slightly stunned, with a greedy look in his eyes, and said, "Nephew, can I consider this matter? After all, such a big deal."

Guo Dan nodded and said, "Of course, but this matter has been delayed for a long time and cannot be delayed anymore. I will also make preparations for both."

Chen Ping opened his mouth nervously, but then nodded again and said, "I will reply to you as soon as possible."
