Chapter 231 Zhu Gaochi becomes apprentice to Guo An
Ming Dynasty: Huddle around Beiping as Magistrate County Chapter 231 Zhu Gaochi becomes apprentice to Guo AnLatest website:Xu Miaoyun smiled helplessly.
"Your Highness, Guo Changshi is thinking about you!"
"Think about me?"
Zhu Di was a little confused.
Xu Miaoyun said: "Your Highness, you are just a King of Yan, and Guo Changshi's official position is already the highest in our Yan Palace. He has no other choice but to love money!"
"..."
After being stunned for a long time, Zhu Di sighed softly.
"We have wronged Guo Qing!"
Xu Miaoyun said: "Your Highness, please don't think like that, Guo Changshi is not that kind of person who likes power.
Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty, only His Highness could trust Guo Changshi so much and let Guo Changshi unleash his talents..."
"No, Guo Qing has made such a great contribution, we have to reward Guo Qing..."
……
The next day.
Guo An just finished ordering Mao.
Zhu Di then sent someone to look for Guo An.
"I wonder what the important matter is for Your Highness to find a minister?"
Zhu Di said sincerely: "Guo Qing has done a great job in finding a way to increase grain production for our Ming Dynasty. We will reward Guo Qing greatly!"
"Ah?"
Guo An was stunned and looked at Zhu Di in surprise.
He really didn't know how Zhu Di, who was just a vassal king, had the confidence to reward him so highly.
Is it possible to reward money? However, Zhu Di is also very picky...
"Thank you so much, Your Highness!"
Thinking about it, Guo An quickly cupped his hands towards Zhu Di and thanked him.
"However, the increase in rice production has always been the work of the four clan brothers Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi, and all the veterans on the farm. In fact, the humble ministers have not had any credit!"
Zhu Di had a firm look on his face, "Guo Qing, don't be humble. Without Guo Qing, Guo Bingyong, and Guo Zhi, how would the four of them know how to cultivate improved rice varieties and how to cultivate them successfully... Guo Qing deserves a lot of credit for this matter."
No.
If Tao Chengdao can become Tao Wanhu, and Guo Qing has made such great achievements, how can we wrong Guo Qing?"
Guo An looked at Zhu Di in surprise, "Your Highness, can you still grant a small minister a land reward?"
Zhu Di's eyes widened.
Guo An smiled and asked: "Your Highness, I don't have much ambition, and I don't want to have much power. I am satisfied with the money my Highness gave me!"
Zhu Di said: "Guo Qing, I know that you have always been kind, but some people will not bully you just because you are kind!"
Guo An was a little confused and said: "Wei Chen is the chief historian of Prince Yan's palace. I wonder who else in Beiping Mansion dares to bully Wei Chen?"
Zhu Di said: "There are people who dare to bully us, but no one dares to bully Guo Changshi?"
"Huh?"
Guo An's expression condensed and he said angrily: "Your Highness, someone is interested in doing business with Goryeo?"
"Humph!"
Zhu Di sneered, "There are some gentry and wealthy people who are greedy for the benefits of trade with Goryeo. Not only are they jumping up and down in the capital court, but they also instigate the princes and brothers to send people here, hoping to add more than ten large ships to our fleet.
!"
"With more than a dozen large ships, they actually want to take our Prince Yan's fleet to go to Goryeo to trade on their own?"
Guo An was shocked again.
Zhu Di said bitterly: "A group of people who are greedy for profit dare to think about anything, and they even want to buy Korean maids in large quantities!"
Guo An was speechless, those guys are so brave.
"Your Highness, I absolutely dare not agree to this matter. With such huge profits from trade with Goryeo, the gentry and wealthy businessmen in the south, and even some people in the capital, are trying day and night to find a way to use Your Highness to take away the right to trade with Goryeo. If His Highness agrees to those people, I am afraid that the matter will be reported to His Majesty as soon as His Majesty's fleet sails out of Dagokou!"
Zhu Di looked disdainful, "Guo Qing, don't worry, we are not the kind of people who are greedy for profit.
However, if they dare to be unkind to us, don’t blame me for being rude to them!"
Guo An nodded slightly, "Your Highness, whatever you do, can even announce the matter directly and tell it openly and honestly. Prince Yan's Mansion will no longer have any business dealings with those merchants who harbor evil intentions!"
"Good!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly, looked at Guo An and said again: "However, those merchants and gentry dare not provoke me, but Guo Qing has to guard against it!"
Guo An was shocked, "Your Highness, the minister is just a small official of the palace..."
Zhu Di said: "But Guo Qing's virtuous reputation may have already reached the ears of all the gentry and wealthy businessmen in the Ming Dynasty."
Guo An looked depressed.
Zhu Di continued: "Therefore, we are going to ask Guo Qing to be Chi'er's teacher!"
"Teacher Shizi?"
Guo An was shocked and shook his head repeatedly.
"Your Highness has high regard for Wei Chen. Apart from his hobby of studying craftsmanship, Wei Chen has no other talents. How can he be the prince's teacher?"
"No problem!"
Zhu Di waved his hand indifferently, "Guo Qing is Chi'er's teacher, so those people will be more wary of Guo Qing!"
Guo An asked: "May I ask, Your Highness, Mr. Luo Guanzhong from before?"
A strange flash appeared in Zhu Di's eyes.
"Don't worry, Guo Qing, Mr. Luo won't mind at all!"
"This is how disrespectful a humble minister is!"
Guo An cupped his hands and responded.
Zhu Di's face was filled with joy, "Don't worry, Guo Qing, we will take Chi'er to become our disciple tomorrow!"
"It's all up to Your Highness!"
At this moment, Guo An felt as if someone had forcibly matched the little girl.
However, the more involved he is with Prince Yan's Mansion, the less likely others will touch him.
And if King Yan Zhu Di personally brought his eldest son Zhu Gaochi to become his disciple, then this teacher was a teacher with a long history, and he was by no means the kind of professor from the palace who only had a reputation!
The next day.
Zhu Di took Zhu Gaochi and Shu Xiu to the Guo Mansion to become apprentices.
Except for everyone in the Guo Mansion, there was no one watching the ceremony.
However, when Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi entered the Guo Mansion, the news of Zhu Di taking his eldest son to become a disciple of the chief minister Guo An had already been spread under Zhu Di's secret instructions.
