Daming: Huddle in Beiping Dangzhi County Chapter 160 The Battle on the Sea Latest website: Although Zhu Di was very dissatisfied with Guo An's lazy character, he thought that there was another sharp weapon in the palace
, the whole person is in a good mood.
After returning to the palace, he quickly ordered He Zhong to send rewards to the craftsmen in the gunpowder workshop.
Even Qiu Fu and the other guards who guarded the gunpowder workshop were rewarded with rewards. Although it was not much, it also made Qiu Fu and other guards full of joy and became more active in patrolling.
Then, Zhu Di thought of Guo An's advice on the carriage to build a cement road from Beiping Fucheng to Shangzhuang Village Iron Smelting Works, so he summoned Guo An over.
But he didn't expect that after hearing this, Guo An shook his head repeatedly.
Zhu Di wondered: "This matter was advised by Guo Qing, and the cement road between Wanping County and Zhangjiawan Wharf was also paved by Guo Qing. Why is Guo Qing unwilling to pave this road?"
Guo An sighed softly, "Your Highness, paving roads is a small matter. The officials who paved roads with me last time can do it.
How can His Highness delay Wei Chen's research with such a trivial matter?"
Zhu Di's tiger body trembled and he stared at Guo An closely with expectation: "Guo Qing's intention, can Guo Qing develop more good objects?"
The corners of Guo An's lips were slightly raised, and he said confidently: "Your Highness, I forgive you. It is no exaggeration to say that the thoughts of this humble minister are like the water of the Yellow River, which cannot be exhausted at all."
“Very good!”
Zhu Di was overjoyed, "Guo Qing doesn't need to worry about paving the road. We'll leave it to Zhu Qing."
Guo An nodded slightly, "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness, but Zhu Changshi may not necessarily know how to pave roads. Your Highness might as well hand it over directly to the officials of the Gongzheng Institute and let them pave it.
Your Highness can just go and supervise from time to time to prevent anyone from committing fraud and embezzling money and food."
"Good."
Zhu Di nodded slightly, then thought of something, changed the topic, and asked again: "Guo Qing should start this matter about building a craftsman school as mentioned by Guo Qing."
Guo An slowly shook his head again, "Your Highness, I have never had any experience in opening an academy.
And Tao Yiping and Yang Ting are the youngest sons and disciples of Tao Wanhu. They have the most experience, so they should shoulder the responsibility."
Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but became angry, "Did Guo Qing forget that Guo Qing gave lectures to our generals?
Those generals rated Guo Qing's lectures very highly. It has only been half a year now, and each of those generals already knows four to five hundred words.
Nowadays, they often talk to us and want Guo Qing to give them lectures in his spare time..."
Guo An couldn't help but shudder subconsciously, "Your Highness, don't say any more. I don't want to teach people how to read and write in my life."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Zhu Di's face, "What a pity."
Guo An hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please don't do this. The masters your Highness invited are the truly knowledgeable people."
After saying that, Guo An stood up directly and excused himself to Zhu Di.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. A very interesting object suddenly appeared in Wei Chen's mind. I urgently need to go to the public room to think about it and draw it... Wei Chen will retire first."
After saying that, Guo An left in a hurry.
Looking at Guo An's back, Zhu Di looked helpless.
However, Guo An did not deceive Zhu Di, and he did have a lot of thoughts in his mind.
It's just that it wasn't just something he suddenly thought of.
On the second day, Guo An went to the glass workshop in person and handed the two drawings to the glass workshop manager.
As for the Craftsman School, Zhu Di could only discuss it with Zhu Fu and leave the Craftsman School to Tao Yiping and Yang Ting.
Hearing this, Tao Yiping and Yang Ting immediately felt as if they had been given a shot of blood. They wished they could immediately put aside their work, personally select the craftsmen and the heirs of the craftsmen's families, and turn the Beiping Craftsman School into something like their Tao family. p>
Fortunately, Zhu Di gave an order that all craftsmen and the heirs of craftsmen's households in Prince Yan's palace can study, but only one person from each family can be born, unless they are particularly outstanding.
Only then did Tao Yiping and Yang Ting stop.
The school is located in the glass workshop next to the gunpowder workshop.
Zhu Di also ordered a new school to be built next to the gunpowder workshop. As for the school layout, it was drawn by Guo An himself.
At the same time, the matter of King Yan building a craftsman's school to teach craftsmen and the descendants of craftsmen how to read caused an uproar in the Beiping Mansion.
And quickly spread it to Yingtian City.
Soon, it caused dissatisfaction among many gentry and great scholars.
In the Beiping Mansion, many gentry or officials advised Zhu Di to change the school into a Confucian school. Would the children of craftsmen be worthy of attending the school to learn literacy?
Zhu Di sneered at this and ignored it.
Later, Zhu Di disappeared from all the officials who came to visit him.
At this moment, Zhu Di's entire attention was focused on the Bohai Sea.
To be precise, it was placed on Xu Xiang and other generals of the Yan Palace who were leading a fishing fleet on the Bohai Sea.
During this period of time, the Japanese pirates seemed to have figured out the sailing patterns of Xu Xiang and other fleets.
The number of Japanese pirates coming to invade is increasing and becoming more frequent.
Fortunately, there are eight large ships and more than 600 guards from the Yan Palace. The sea-going ships are much taller than the Japanese pirate ships. In addition, there are dozens of bowls on the ship. Facing the intrusion of the Japanese pirate ships, we can still protect ourselves.
.
However, Xu Xiang and other Yan Palace guards had never experienced such humiliation. They were harassed by Japanese pirates from time to time, so they could not pursue them too deeply.
Although I didn’t suffer much loss, I was extremely disgusted.
But this time, Xu Xiang was full of expectations when he came out of Beiping Mansion. He wished he could meet those Japanese pirates as soon as he entered the Bohai Sea.
However, it has been two days since their fleet entered the Bohai Sea, and the Japanese pirates have not yet found them.
"Qianhu, can we really annihilate those Japanese pirates this time?"
