Ming Dynasty: Huddle in Beiping Dangzhi County Text Volume Chapter 168 Jin Zhongxin’s Understanding Latest Website: After letting Zhu Di know about Jin Zhong, the newly promoted scribe, Guo An withdrew with confidence.
Anyway, Jin Zhong has become his person now.
In the future, I won’t be able to run away either...
In the hall, Zhu Di thought for a moment and then shouted to one side.
"He Zhong."
"Your Highness, my servant is here."
He Zhong appeared directly in front of Zhu Di.
Zhu Di said quietly: "Send someone to check the details of Jin Zhong. Guo Qing has been in the palace for so long, and we haven't seen him care so much about anyone."
"Yes, Your Highness."
He Zhong responded with a solemn expression and walked quickly.
On the other side.
After Guo An returned to the public house, he saw that Jin Zhong was still holding the account books and looking at them carefully. He didn't even notice that he was back and didn't bother him.
Go to the main seat and sit down casually.
I don’t know how long it took, but Jin Zhong finally came to his senses after reading the account book in his hand.
Later, when he was about to put the account book back in his hand, he suddenly found Guo An sitting behind the desk and was shocked.
"The villain sees Guo Changshi."
"No need to be so polite."
Guo An waved his hand very casually and asked: "Have you finished reading these account books?"
Jin Zhong quickly replied: "Back to Guo Changshi, I have read it again."
Guo Andao: "Do you understand?"
Jin Zhongdao: "Back to Guo Changshi, although these account books are numerous, every item is recorded clearly and clearly, and a villain can understand it at a glance."
"That's good."
Guo An nodded with satisfaction and asked again: "You don't have a place to stay in Beiping Mansion?"
"This..."
Jin Zhong couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Guo Andao said: "It doesn't matter. It's normal that you have just arrived and you don't have a house. You go find the scribe who brought you here today and ask him to take you to the shared rooms of the palace officials at the entrance of the palace and arrange a room for you. After you receive your salary, you can decide how you want to live."
"Thank you Guo Changshi."
Jin Zhong said with gratitude again.
Guo An waved his hand, "Okay, let's go down."
"Yes."
After bowing respectfully to Guo An, Jin Zhong walked away.
Jin Zhong, who had just entered the palace for less than a day, also knew Huo Cai, the scribe, so naturally he could only find Huo Cai.
Fortunately, when Jin Zhong found Huo Cai, Huo Cai had not received any human tasks.
Therefore, after hearing that Guo An asked him to take the new scribe in front of him to find a place to stay, he immediately stood up and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Brother Shizhong is so lucky. I have been in Prince Yan's Mansion for so long, and this is the first time I see Guo Changshi caring so much about the officials in the Prince's Mansion?"
Jin Zhong said sincerely: "Guo Changshi is a good official."
Huo Cai also nodded repeatedly: "This is natural... Ever since Guo Changshi came to Prince Yan's Mansion, we scribes can receive a large amount of rewards every year in addition to our salary.
The life of the officials and scribes in Prince Yan's palace has been much easier.
Even, sometimes, the annual salary that we scribes receive is more than that of a county magistrate."
Jin Zhong couldn't help but be surprised, "So many?"
"This is natural."
Speaking of this, Huo Cai couldn't help but look proud.
"You don't know how much money Guo Changshi has made for our palace since he came to Prince Yan's Mansion? Moreover, His Highness treats us officials, guards, and even the maids and maids very generously.
The most important thing is that Guo Changshi is always kind to others and usually has nothing to do with his scribes..."
As he said this, Huo Cai couldn't help but look envious.
Jin Zhong looked at Huo Cai strangely, "Well, when I first arrived today, Brother Huo specifically told me not to offend Guo Changshi..."
Before he finished speaking, Jin Zhong saw Huo Cai's expression change drastically.
After raising his head and looking around, Huo Cai nervously approached Jin Zhong and whispered: "Brother Jin, be careful... Some time ago, Guo Changshi was purchasing the land at Zhangjiawan Wharf in Tongzhou.
At that time, there were some gentry who were trying to commit suicide with the officials, were dirty in farm matters, and bullied the people, which directly angered Guo Changshi...
Guo Changshi directly took His Royal Highness King Yan and thousands of Yanshan guards to Tongzhou overnight and ransacked the homes of the gentry... After daybreak, he ran to Tongzhou again to inform Tongzhou, Tongpan and others.
Take down the chief officer...
The whole family of those gentry and officials were punished according to the "Great Edict".
A few days later, all the gentry officials in Beiping Prefecture were thoroughly investigated...
Later, I reported it to the court and heard that all the gentry in the Ming Dynasty had suffered..."
"Hiss..."
Jin Zhong's eyes widened and he punished according to the "Great Edict"? Wouldn't that mean that those gentry and their entire family were doomed?
"Why did the entire Ming gentry end up being implicated?"
Huo Cai glared at Jin Zhong with some hatred, "I heard that you are also from a prominent family. Don't you know that those squires hide their fields?"
Jin Zhong was silent, but his eyes were shining brightly.
"Guo Changshi is really a good official!"
"Okay, okay... It's better for us to talk less about Shangguan... There are five or six empty houses in the house in front of me. They belong to my chief historian. Brother Jin can choose one at will..."
……
The next day, morning.
After Guo An finished counting the knots, he took Jin Zhong on a carriage and came to the outside of the city, escorted by several guards from Prince Yan's Palace.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Jin Zhong opened his mouth wide and was stunned.
On hundreds of acres of fields, densely packed craftsmen and young men are working in an orderly manner.
Guo An turned to look at Jin Zhong and said softly: "Shizhong, this is the construction site of the academy, and it is also the most important project of Prince Yan's Mansion this year. From now on, when I am busy with official duties, you will supervise this place.
