Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Damn it, you’d better not let me know who did it!

Otherwise, if we don't break his ribs, he'd be considered strong!

Just then, an official rushed in from outside.

"Dobu..."

"Ah? Your Majesty?"

The clerk seemed very anxious. He was halfway through his words when he realized that the emperor was also here, and he quickly bowed to him.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor..."

"What happened?"

Zhu Youxiao frowned and looked at the clerk.

"Your Majesty, the Zheng and Zhengcunba factories have been surrounded..."

"Hundreds of people surrounded the gate, all clamoring to buy watches..."

After the clerk finished speaking, he obediently stepped aside.

But Wu Chunfu's heart was completely chilled!

He finally got rid of the suspicion, but with so many people wanting to buy the watch, the suspicion was brought back to him!

After all, the Ministry of Industry is the one that benefits from selling watches.

In the face of facts, all sophistry...

Wait a minute?

The Ministry of Industry gets no benefit at all!

It was clearly the Ministry of Revenue that took away the bulk of the money, right?

Wu Chunfu understood, and immediately excitedly bowed to Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, I know. This must have been done by Mr. Guo!"

"For one watch, he takes 50% of my tax!"

"I have to hire a craftsman to make the watch, but he just sits in the Ministry of Revenue and does nothing but wait to collect the money."

“He is the biggest beneficiary!”

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. Please help me..."

At the end of his speech, his voice became choked up and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Damn, it’s so frustrating!

Damn Guo Laokou!

I really want to take Chengying and shoot him...

▄【┻┳═一∵∴∷∶∵ (∵_,∵)＞＞＞＞

"Let's go to the Ministry of Revenue!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youxiao pulled his arm and walked out of the Ministry of Works lobby.

The six ministries are all together. Turn left and walk south for 300 meters to reach the Ministry of Revenue.

Guo Yunhou was sitting in the lobby, his left leg crossed over his right leg, a pipe in his mouth, smoking happily.

What happened yesterday was caused by him.

He was already imagining a future where he would be making so much money that he could not even hold his money.

A watch, one hundred taels of silver.

Needless to say, as long as the Ministry of Industry can sell 100,000 watches every year, that would be 10 million taels of silver!

This is enough to catch up with the Ministry of Household Affairs’ revenue in two years!

The most important thing is that this idea was thought up by Lao Guo himself, so the sense of accomplishment is extreme!

"boom!"

Just as I was daydreaming, I saw the door of the palace being kicked open.

Guo Yunhou turned his head and was instantly struck by lightning.

"Your Majesty, why are you here......"

He stood up in a daze, and the pipe slipped from his hands to the ground.

"Mr. Guo, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!"

"Get out of my way!"

As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he walked over and pushed him away, then sat down on the chair that was still warm.

This was the first time Guo Yunhou had seen such an attitude, and he immediately panicked.

"I am deeply troubled. I beg Your Majesty to make it clear..."

Zhu Youxiao just glanced at him and didn't say anything.

"Mr. Guo! Your Majesty, please don't ask me. I want to ask you, what did you do yesterday?"

Wu Chunfu, who was standing by, seized the opportunity and grabbed Guo Yunhou's beard.

Damn it, you grabbed my collar yesterday!

His beard was grabbed and a burning pain went straight to his brain. Guo Yunhou began to beg for mercy on the spot.

“It hurts, it hurts…”

"Master Wu, please tell me what I did!"

Wu Chunfu glared at Guo Yunhou and pointed at his forehead to question him.

"People are saying that the reason why the queen was able to find out that she was pregnant was all thanks to that gold watch. Did you spread this news?"

Guo Yunhou's body trembled violently when he heard this.

wipe!

Did you find it on your own head so soon?

No, I can't admit this, even if you kill me!

The person who passed on the news was his own son. In order to ensure that no Jinyiwei eavesdropped, he took his son to the brothel to tell the news.

Therefore, there is no way this matter could get out...

"Your Majesty, I really didn't do this!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at him and sneered, "Do you think I believe it?"

Guo Yunhou:........

How to answer this kind of question?

I guess you would like to guess?

If you dare to say that, I guess you won’t even be able to see the sun tomorrow…

He didn't dare to look Zhu Youxiao in the eye. He lowered his head, and his eyes began to roll wildly.

No, we must think of a solution quickly...

Got it!

After a moment, he turned his gaze to Wu Chunfu, and, changing his previous nervousness, spoke jokingly.

"Old Wu, what you did was not very kind in this matter......"

The beard was still in Wu Chunfu's hand, and the distance between the two was already very close.

Guo Yunhou straightened his chest and raised his head, and took a step forward intentionally or unintentionally, so that their faces were almost touching.

All the breath he used when he spoke was sprayed on Wu Chunfu's face without any waste.

It's so addictive!

Chapter 571: The Abacus is Really Good

"Nonsense! What does this have to do with me?"

Seeing that he dared to point the finger at him, Wu Chunfu immediately became furious.

I had finally extricated myself from this matter, how could I let him push me into it again?

"Mr. Guo, you'd better explain it to me clearly!"

"If you dare to slander me in front of His Majesty, His Majesty will peel off your skin!"

Guo Yunhou pulled the beard out of his hand with an indifferent look.

"Then let me ask you!"

"The wristwatch was your Majesty's idea, and the pocket watch was also your Majesty's."

“It can be said that without His Majesty, there would be no watches today.”

"But you sent His Majesty away with a gold watch. Do you treat His Majesty as a beggar?"

Wu Chunfu felt sick after listening to it.

Damn it!

Aren’t you talking about rumors? Why are you bringing this up again?

"Mr. Guo! That's not what you said!"

"It was you who gave me the idea of ​​selling the watch!"

"I thought you really wanted to help me, but what did you do?"

"For one watch, they're going to take half of my tax!"

"You have been plotting against me from the beginning, wanting the Ministry of Works to profit for your Ministry of Revenue!"

"So, you are because......"

"Because why?" He was interrupted by Guo Yunhou before he could finish his words.

I saw Lao Guo standing in the middle of the lobby with a righteous look on his face, pointing at his nose and shouting with spit flying everywhere.

"As the Minister of Revenue, I am in charge of the finances of the Ming Dynasty. What's wrong with me trying to find a way to generate revenue for the Ming Dynasty?"

"Do you think I am like you, with only myself in my mind?"

"I am doing this for the people of this world!"

“Where did the tax money go?”

"Won't it eventually turn into food and end up in the stomachs of the disaster victims?"

"It turned into weapons and armor and ended up in the hands of the soldiers from the Nine Frontiers?"

"I dare to say that I have never had any selfish motives!"

"But what about you?"

"The watch was made by His Majesty. This is a business that makes a lot of money every day. You actually sent His Majesty away with a gold watch."

"Wu Pifu, you are shameless!"

"If this matter were to happen to me, I would at least give Your Majesty 60% of the net profit!"

"After all, without His Majesty, there would be no watch!"

These words were spoken with such righteousness that Wu Chunfu retreated repeatedly.

He felt good after scolding, but Wu Chunfu felt like he was caught in a heavy rain, his face was wet, and his heart was cold...

Damn it!

This old stingy guy really lives up to his last name!

This pot is thrown away...
