Chapter 194 Gao Li hasn’t paid back the money yet?
Ming Dynasty: Huddle around Beiping and be the magistrate of the county Chapter 194: Gaoli hasn’t paid back the money yet? Latest website: As Shen Zhuang left, Jin Zhong suddenly looked full of admiration.
"I have always heard that Guo Changshi is the chief financial officer of Prince Yan's palace. Today I saw it and admired him greatly."
Guo An smiled softly and said with an incomprehensible expression: "Do you think the Shen family will agree?"
Jin Zhongxin said: "If we return to Guo Changshi, the Shen family will definitely agree.
Merchants pursue profits, and with His Majesty's current ban on the sea, the Shen family's business is not as good as before.
Now, by cooperating with Prince Yan's Palace, they can not only monopolize all the sugar in the south, they can even board the big ship of Prince Yan's Palace. At least no official dares to deduct the Shen family's caravan at will.
If they don't agree, when Prince Yan's Palace builds sugar workshops in Fujian and Guangdong, not only will they have no money to make, but the Shen family's share of sucrose will even be reduced."
Guo An nodded with a happy face, "In this way, Prince Yan's Mansion has another stable source of wealth."
"Exactly."
Jin Zhong said with certainty.
“Very good!”
Guo An nodded slightly, and then made arrangements: "Now, it will be the time of autumn harvest soon.
Go and inspect. How are the preparations for the farms under Prince Yan's residence?
In addition, how prepared are the people of Wanping County?
If you still have any shortage, can you borrow it from Prince Yan’s Mansion?
In short, everything focuses on the autumn harvest..."
"Here!"
Jin Zhong responded and retreated.
……
A few more days passed.
Guo An came to Cunxin Hall with some doubts, "Your Highness, are you looking for me?"
"Yeah."
Zhu Di sat above him with a gloomy look, motioned for Guo An to sit down, and said coldly.
"Guo Qing, we heard that the Korean envoy has come to pay tribute to our country twice this year."
"Hmm...huh?"
Guo An nodded subconsciously, then realized something and his face lit up.
"May I ask, Your Highness, if the envoy from Goryeo hasn't paid back the money to Prince Yan's Palace?"
"Exactly... hmm?"
Zhu Di looked at Guo An with a displeased look on his face, "Guo Qing, why are you so happy when that little Goryeo official dares to default on the money he owes us?"
Guo An replied honestly: "Your Highness, you still remember that when Wei Chen persuaded His Highness Jian to use a loan to sell transparent glass and winter vegetable planting technology to Korea, he had no intention that Korea would return the money to His Highness!"
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then his face became angry.
"But the small country of Goryeo can't repay us even a penny, right? We have a deed signed by the King of Goryeo himself with his seal!"
Guo An sighed slightly, "Your Highness, I forgive you. I never expected that the Goryeo Kingdom would be so bold."
Zhu Di was still a little unwilling, "What can Guo Qing do?"
Guo Andao: "For the current plan, we can ask Zhu Changshi to write a letter to the court crying that the Goryeo Kingdom is ungrateful.
Your Highness trusted the Koryo Kingdom so much that he lent them 210,000 taels of silver. Not only have they not repaid a penny, they have not even paid back the interest. Please ask the imperial court to issue an order to reprimand the Koryo Kingdom.
At the same time, His Highness can also send someone to send a message to the Koryo Kingdom to urge them to pay back the money..."
Zhu Di asked again: "So, what if they keep saying they have no money?"
Guo An grinned, "Your Highness, you have just established three Mongolian cavalry units."
"Good!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly, "The money from our Prince Yan's Mansion is not that easy to get."
Go ahead, Zhu Di said to Ma He on the side: "Summon Zhu Changshi."
"Here!"
As Ma He went down, Guo An also stood up and said: "Your Highness, I have to go to the farm to check around today, so I'll take my leave first."
"Hmm!"
Zhu Di waved his hand very casually.
Guo An quickly resigned.
After returning to the public house, Guo An dragged Jin Zhong, who had not yet left, and rushed to the farm without waiting for the old man Zhu Fu to come back and glare at him.
"Chang Shi, the farm has only planted 200 acres of grain this year, plus 100 acres of experimental fields, but there are more than 300 veterans on the farm, and there are always a hundred households stationed around, so there is no need to worry about the autumn harvest.
”
On the carriage, Jin Zhong said slowly.
Guo Andao: "We know."
Hearing this, Jin Zhong's eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't say anything more.
The carriage swayed on the road.
After a while, Guo An frowned slightly, "Nowadays, the farm can be regarded as a more important project in our Yanwang Mansion. Why are the roads still so dilapidated?"
Jin Zhong opened the car curtain, glanced at the road outside, and said: "Back to Guo Changshi, it has rained a lot during this period, and no one has smoothed it, so the road has some potholes."
Guo An said directly: "Let's build cement roads."
"Cement roads?"
Jin Zhong was surprised, "Chang Shi, wouldn't this be a waste..."
"No need to worry."
Guo An said quietly, "In just the past two years, the farm has earned enough money for the family to build a cement road.
Moreover, the farm will inevitably expand in the future, and this trail alone is no longer of sufficient use!"
"Yes, Guo Changshi!"
Jin Zhong nodded and replied, "As soon as the autumn harvest is over, the villain begins to gather the laborers and craftsmen to start laying cement roads."
"Hmm!"
Guo An nodded slightly.
……
The farm of Prince Yan's Mansion has expanded a bit.
Although he hasn't been here for a long time, Guo An can clearly feel that the farm has definitely expanded again.
