"Do you think I'm handsome?"

Guo Dan suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhu Yaoyi, who was sitting behind the secretary's desk, and asked in a deep voice.

"ah?"

Zhu Yaoyi was stunned and then shook her head suddenly.

"No?" Guo Dan couldn't help but wonder, "Then why did you stare at me for a long time without even blinking?"

How did he know that he was thinking about things just now! Zhu Yaoyao's face was red and she lowered her head silently.

This child can't even lie, but fortunately he is not a salesman. Guo Tan smiled and said, "Fangchen, I heard that many people have come to harass you recently?"

Zhu Yaoyao looked up at him and said helplessly.

Guo Dan laughed and said, "This is a good thing!"

"It's not a good thing." Zhu Yaoyao muttered.

"Why?"

Guo Dan smiled and said, "I think this is also a recognition of you!"

Zhu Yaoma said, "I just want to do my job well now, but they always come to disturb me. If you are not here, I dare not stay here. I can only do things in the treasury. I have to ask Xiaoxiao and others to help me..."

Speaking of the latter, she couldn't help but look guilty again.

"Oh my God! Another workaholic." Guo Dan couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Huh?" Zhu Yaoma looked at Guo Dan in confusion.

Oh! This must not be known to the wife. Guo Dan coughed lightly and said seriously: "If you really don't like it, I have a plan to help you solve this problem."

Zhu Yaoyi asked hurriedly, "Tell me quickly."

Guo Dan said: "It's very simple. If you set up a sign outside the door, the first line says 'Standards for choosing a husband' and the second line says 'Guo Dan', and they will get out of trouble."

"It's so simple..." As soon as he said that, Zhu Yaoyi suddenly woke up and spat: "I won't be fooled by you."

Guo Dan laughed.

Suddenly, the back door opened and Kou Weisha walked in with his slightly raised belly.

"lady!"

Guo Dan suddenly stood up.

Kou Weisha smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous?"

"Nervous? How is that possible? Why am I nervous?" Guo Dan said with a haha.

Zhu Yaoyi suddenly stood up and said, "President, I still have something to do."

Kou Weisha glanced at Zhu Yaoyi, saw that his face was flushed, and nodded with a smile: "Then you go quickly."

Zhu Yaomu left in a hurry.

"Hey! Fangchen, do you understand the market? If you do this, it will make people misunderstand." Guo Dan shouted anxiously.

"Okay."

Kou Weisha gave Guo Dan a blank look: "This person has left, you don't want to pretend."

Guo Dan hurried forward and gently supported Kou Weisha and said, "Madam, don't get me wrong, I'm just bored and talk."

"Of course I know, but my husband should not forget her identity."

Kou Weisha gave a little reminder. She felt that her husband was good at everything. He shouldn't have no door-to-door words. As he said that, he would let himself go. He sat down and said, "I heard that you were having trouble, so I came here to take a look, but it seems that this is not the case."

"There is a word called "Strong smile", and the other is "Taking joy in hardship." Guo Dan laughed at himself and said: "The old man Wang Xijue had a very disgusting idea. They want to use the money from the treasury to acquire our Grand Canyon."

Kou Weisha couldn't help but sigh, thinking that nothing could go well, and said, "What is your attitude?"

She believes that this kind of thing is of course mainly based on Wanli.

Guo Tan said: "Your Majesty also has difficulties for you."

Kou Weisha hesitated for a moment and said, "Since Your Majesty is powerless, let's just let it go."

“That’s impossible.”

Guo Dan said firmly: "I must not let them succeed. In fact, the key is not whether they acquire the Grand Canyon, but that they want to set up an investment department similar to our Tooth Bank. This is really terrible. They can invest in the Grand Canyon today and to our Tooth Bank tomorrow. In the end, all my efforts are just to make wedding dresses for them."

Kou Weisha glanced at Guo Dan and asked, "But this shareholding system is what you are good at, can't you think of a way to deal with it?"

Guo Dan narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't know what they plan to do now. If they want to acquire a large scale, then I have a way to mess with them. But if they cast a wide net, Yachang acquires 10% of the shares, Grand Canyon acquires 10% of the shares, and Wutiao Gun acquires 10% of the shares, then I will really have no choice but to do anything to them for a while. The special status of the court makes them not need to acquire a large number of shares, but only a little bit can affect us."

As he said that, he said with a little regret: "It's really abominable. If I were one year later, I wouldn't be afraid of them at all. It's so hateful that I have not integrated our and Your Majesty's estate yet."

Guo Dan's attitude is very firm, but Wanli's words...

His perspective is a bit different from Guo Dan's, because Wanli has the advantage of everyone facing. Even if the court acquires the Grand Canyon, he is also the master of the court, and this has to be controlled by him. He is not so worried, but he still has some doubts. He is observing the reactions of the ministers in the court.

"Report to Your Majesty, Wang Xijue's memorial has caused great discussion in the court." At this point, Zhang Jing paused a little and said, "But most ministers support this suggestion."

Wanli said curiously: "Is that true?"

He thought to himself, aren't they against each other?

Zhang Jing nodded and said, "Yes, because everyone thinks that the most advanced firearm in the Ming Dynasty, controlled by a group of merchants, will put the country in danger. No dynasty has done this since ancient times."

Wanli asked expressionlessly: "Is this just their excuse?"

Zhang Jing said: "Maybe it is an excuse for some people, but Weimin also believes that letting the court acquire a little shares in the Grand Canyon can alleviate some suspicion of the court about the Grand Canyon and avoid causing trouble in the future. In addition, Guo Dan often said that eggs should not be placed in a basket."

Wanli couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

......

Imperial City.

"I heard that Wu Qinghou, the Duke of England chose to support you?"

Shen Shixing asked Wang Xijue while walking.

Wang Xijue asked with a smile: "Didn't Ke'er tell you? At present, I asked him to deal with Li Sancai. After all, if I want to come forward, Li Sancai always feels a little uncomfortable!"

Shin Shixing shook his head and said, "It was me who intentionally avoided him. I don't want him to feel that I'm taking care of him."

Wang Xijue nodded and said, "They all believe that if they let the Grand Canyon develop, their interests will be lost sooner or later. After all, now everyone knows that Your Majesty is the real owner of the Grand Canyon. If the imperial court acquires the Grand Canyon, they can also influence the Grand Canyon.

But what’s interesting is that Chen Younian and the others are trying to use the court to acquire the Grand Canyon and eliminate military and political corruption. Although their purpose is completely opposite, they all choose to support the acquisition of the Grand Canyon. Ke'er's trick is really good to use."

"It's too early to talk about this now!"

Shen Shixing shook his head and said, "If the imperial court really acquires the Grand Canyon, will the water here continue to remain clear or become muddy, not necessarily, but there will be a fierce battle."

Wang Xijue said: "I thought of this too, but with our support and Guo Dan's methods, it is very difficult for them to think about doing whatever they want before."

Shen Shixing said: "By the way! What is Guo Dan's attitude?"

Wang Xijue shook his head and smiled, "It seems that he doesn't agree. I have had a lot of dealings with that kid. Although he looks respectful to us on the surface, he actually looks down on us at all."

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "I feel this too, otherwise he would not have tried everything he could to do. If he doesn't become this official, but it would be impossible to let him develop like this!"

......

Xing'an Bo Mansion.

"Dad, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Aunt Xu said: "Your Majesty is in a dilemma. Once you take out the Taipu Temple, your Majesty will inevitably be inclined to you. After all, Your Majesty has been coveting the Taipu Temple for a long time, and the generals will certainly support Daddy. By then, Daddy, you will become the Chief Minister of Finance of the Ming Dynasty and will no longer be suppressed by the six cabinet ministries."

Xu Mengchong glanced at her daughter and suddenly realized that she had not changed at all over the years. She asked, "What is Guo Dan's attitude towards this matter?"

"He is firmly opposed."

Aunt Xu said: "But my daughter thinks that if he can stop him, then he can also stop his father. If he can't stop him, why don't our Xu family seize this opportunity? For Guo Dan, cooperating with our Xu family is better than cooperating with other ministers."

Xu Mengchong didn't hesitate and sighed, "Daughter! If Dad stepped in, he would never be able to pull it out again. All he had done over the years was left to waste. Dad just wanted to enjoy his old age, and he didn't want to leave too many grudges for Rong'er."

A flash of disappointment flashed in Aunt Xu's eyes, and she nodded and said, "Daughter understands."

.........

"It seems that the layman did not convince Xing'an Bo!"

Aunt Xu just returned to Yaxing when she heard Guo Dan smile.

Aunt Xu was a little stunned and asked with interest: "You have guessed that I will go and lobby for my dad?"

Guo Dan nodded and said, "I have to admit that the layman's move of mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind him. I may not be able to withstand it. Xing'an Bo will also be able to participate in it with this supreme minister and with my help in the future, and then I will continue to maintain your Xu family's position in the court."

"Thank you for your praise." Aunt Xu sat down and smiled bitterly: "It seems you have guessed that my father cannot agree."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Actually, if Xing'an Bo really wants to get to power, he has a lot of opportunities before. It's not that he can't see it, but that he doesn't see it. He can't easily let all his efforts go to waste after all these years of hard work."

"I didn't expect that I would know Dad better than an outsider."

Aunt Xu couldn't help feeling a little depressed, and couldn't help looking at Guo Dan again and said, "But you don't seem to mind."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "There is a saying that looks good, so no matter what the layman does, it is right."

Having said that, it was actually because he was only working with the Xu family, which was not something he could not accept. His initial idea was also him. Xu Mengshen and Wanli formed an iron triangle, but unfortunately Xu Mengshen was not up to the point. He just thought that this operation was very complicated and the risk was too great. Once Taipu Temple became an investment department, would they be able to defend Taipu Temple from being intervened by those people?

The difficulty coefficient is very high.

Aunt Xu was stunned for a while before she realized it. She rolled her eyes slightly and spat, "Don't talk sweetly here. You don't mind because you have never thought about cooperating with the court.

But this time I really don’t understand. In fact, at present, you have the advantage and you can negotiate with the court. With your talents, it is not impossible to gain the lead. Just like the tariff reform, why are you unwilling to try this time and refuse directly?

If you perform too strongly, it will inevitably trigger a greater rebound, and then you and the court will become insoluble again."
