Ming Dynasty: Huddled in Beiping and became the magistrate of the county. Chapter 201 of the text volume: The envoy of Goryeo comes againLatest website:Yanwangfu.
As sleet began to fall from the sky, Guo An sat in the public room, warming himself by the stove.
Jin Zhong walked in slowly, "Chang Shi, Shen Zhuang is asking for an audience outside the palace gate."
"Shenzhuang?"
A bright light flashed in Guo An's eyes, "Let him in quickly."
"Yes!"
Not long after, Jin Zhong led the dusty Shen Zhuang in from the door.
"Caomin Shenzhuang meets Guo Changshi!"
"Get up."
Guo An looked gentle and asked Shen Zhuang to sit down.
As soon as he sat down, Shen Zhuang took out two deeds and apologized to Guo An.
"I also ask Guo Changshi to forgive me. It took a long time for Cao Min to go to Suzhou, but the elders in the family agreed to cooperate with Prince Yan's Mansion and signed a contract!"
Guo An took the deed, glanced at it, and then looked at Shen Zhuang.
"So, you elders of the Shen family have also heard about what happened between the Yan Palace and the Goryeo Kingdom."
Hearing this, Shen Zhuang's face froze slightly.
"Such shameless things in the small country of Goryeo have spread throughout the Ming Dynasty."
Guo An looked at Shen Zhuang and said quietly: "If the Kingdom of Korea does not pay back the money, His Highness King Yan will definitely send troops to invade the Kingdom of Korea...
Since the Shen family has signed a contract with Prince Yan's Mansion, they will cooperate with Prince Yan's Mansion honestly. Otherwise, no matter how big the Shen family's fortune is, they will still be members of the Ming Dynasty.
It is much easier for Your Highness to punish the Shen family than it is to punish the Goryeo Kingdom."
Shen Zhuang felt slightly relieved and nodded quickly.
"Thank you, Guo Changshi, for your teachings. I, the Shen family, will never dare to deceive His Highness, King Yan.
Moreover, please rest assured, Guo Changshi, our Shen family’s ability to become a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River depends on our integrity.”
Guo An sneered, "Your Shen family's business all comes from sea trade, don't think we don't know."
Shen Zhuang was stunned.
Guo An waved and stood up directly.
"Okay, let's send this deed to His Highness King Yan for review, and stamp it with a big seal. Then you can go back and build the sugar workshop."
"Thank you Guo for your long history."
Shen Zhuang's face was filled with gratitude.
After a while, Guo An came back with a deed stamped with a big seal.
Shen Zhuang thanked him respectfully, took the deed, and then, under the leadership of Jin Zhong, went to the sugar workshop to learn the sugar technique.
The first snowfall of winter in Beiping Prefecture lasted only one day and then stopped.
Immediately, the entire Beiping Mansion became lively again.
Especially at Zhangjiawan Wharf, taking advantage of the fact that the river was not blocked by ice, all the merchants speeded up the transportation of goods, at least to stock up on goods that the people of Beiping Prefecture needed for the whole winter.
At the same time, some merchants from Beiping Mansion, especially some goods from Prince Yan's Mansion, are also being loaded onto ships and shipped to the south.
The cement road from Wanping County to Zhangjiawan Pier is full of traffic and a scene of prosperity.
……
This year, Guo An spent more than half of the year traveling with the army.
After returning, in addition to being on duty at Prince Yan's Mansion, when he had nothing to do, he and Zhu Di studied in detail a map of Goryeo that was as tall as a person.
After that, I stayed at home and teased the two little ones at home. Time passed very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it's the end.
Before the New Year's Day.
The envoys from Korea also hurried over.
A group of dozens of people had no choice but to get off the boat from Dagukou because the river was frozen, and found the Dagukou Qianhu Station.
Thanks to the spread of the loan incident between the Yan Palace and the Goryeo Kingdom a few months ago, thousands of households in Dagukou also heard about it.
Therefore, when I heard that the envoy from Goryeo was going to Beiping Mansion to pay a visit to His Highness King Yan.
Dagukou Qianhu Office immediately sent a general flag and a team of troops to escort the Korean delegation to Beiping Prefecture.
"Your Highness, does Korea agree?"
After hearing the news about the Goryeo mission, Guo An went straight to Zhu Di with a happy face.
Zhu Di said with a slight smile: "The Korean envoy did not bring any money, so it should be regarded as agreement!"
Guo An had a feeling of disbelief, "The King of Goryeo is so soft?"
You know, since ancient times, kings have treated matters concerning a country's territory as their lifeblood.
Nowadays, it is directly related to a battle for a city, but no weapons are used, and no one has heard of much commotion in Goryeo, so you give in so easily?
Guo An frowned slightly, always feeling unreal.
In this regard, Jinyiwei did not penetrate into Goryeo, and Zhu Di did not know the inside story.
So, I waited for five days.
The Korean delegation finally arrived at Beiping Prefecture.
For the group of Dagukou soldiers escorting the Goryeo mission, Guo An ordered the officials of the Prince of Yan's Palace to entertain them with delicious food and drinks.
Members of the Koryo mission were received according to the procedures.
First, the Korean envoys handed over greeting cards. On the second day, Zhu Di received a group of Korean envoys in the Chengyun Hall.
"Cao Minxiu, the minister of the royal family of Changcheng Palace in Goryeo, comes to see His Highness King Yan!"
"What's going on with the emperor's family in Changcheng Prefecture?"
Hearing this, Zhu Di, Guo An and others couldn't help but express their feelings.
This kind of official position in the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to being a Duke and a Minister of the Six Ministries.
However, in Zhu Di's eyes, the prince of the small country of Goryeo was not as important as the earl of Ming Dynasty. After coming back to his senses, he waved his hand lightly.
"Get up!"
"Thank you, His Highness King Yan!"
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhu Di's attitude, Cao Minxiu still remained humble as he knew the purpose of his visit.
Afterwards, Zhu Di didn't go around in circles and asked directly: "Cao Minxiu, the King of Korea sent you here to hand over your credentials to us?"
