Chapter 257 Your Highness, you can apply for the imperial examination
Ming Dynasty: Living in Beiping County as Magistrate Chapter 257 Your Highness, you can seek for the imperial examinationLatest website:Hearing Zhu Di's words, Guo An thought about it and did not object.
"What His Highness said is absolutely true.
However, we don’t have that many taels of silver in our house, so we can only use treasure banknotes, copper coins, or gold, grain, sweaters, cotton... these to replace it!"
"It doesn't matter."
Zhu Di asked again: "Is Guo Qing willing to take over this troublesome matter with the capital?"
Guo An shook his head repeatedly, "Your Highness, Zhu Changshi is familiar with this matter. Therefore, it is better to ask Zhu Changshi to hand over the matter!"
Zhu Di nodded, "If that's the case, then just follow what Guo Qing said!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Talking about the fact that the river is frozen after winter.
Guo An said again: "Your Highness, before the cold winter, I think we can gradually transport the goods that our Prince Yan Mansion plans to sell to Goryeo to Dagukou to prevent the river from being frozen and the ships unable to operate.
In addition, Prince Yan’s Mansion needs to build several huge warehouses again in Dagukou.”
"Yes!"
Anyway, during this period of time, Prince Yan’s Mansion has been expanding its warehouse.
Zhu Di added: "Anyway, I want to hand over 1.5 million silver to the capital.
Why not, for the next few cargo ships, we only need to transport the goods from our house to Peking City, and the remaining ships will be transported directly to the capital, which will be used to deduct the 1.5 million taels of silver!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Zhu Di continued: "This time when we go back to the capital, our father changed the main courtyard of the Dazong into the Zongren Mansion, and the second brother Zhu Feng became the Zongren's order, and we are the right Zongzheng!"
Guo An quickly congratulated: "Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Zhu Di raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "In addition, during this period of time, Mongols have appeared in Daning, Quaning and other places.
My father ordered us to be prepared to patrol Daning, Quaning and other places with our elite cavalry after the new year!"
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Guo An lost no time in complimenting him again and said, "Your Highness, would you like to send back those Mongolians from Goryeo?"
Zhu Di said: "Return two thousand Mongolians and replace them with four thousand elites!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
……
It’s more than half a month later.
The fleet returned to Beiping Mansion again.
This time, the fleet brought back news that made Zhu Di and Guo An angry.
In the Jeolla Province of Goryeo, another wave of nearly 10,000 Japanese pirates appeared.
These Japanese pirates are still very rampant, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.
"Your Highness, Goryeo has now become the property of Prince Yan's palace, and Japanese pirates will not be allowed to wreak havoc!"
Zhu Di ordered: "I order you, Chen Shou and others to send five thousand troops, and Goryeo to send 20,000 troops to destroy those Japanese pirates!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Chen Zhi, the fleet commander this time, responded quickly.
On the side, Guo An said again: "Your Highness, there are so many Japanese pirates. If possible, it is best to capture some and let them go mining and calcining cement.
As long as those Korean people are watching, these Japanese pirates will never be able to change the world."
“Very good!”
Zhu Di nodded.
Chen Zhi also nodded repeatedly.
Zhu Di added: "Next time, except for some goods from our house, all the goods on the fleet will be transported to the capital."
"At that time, Zhu Changshi will go with you and others!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Then, Zhu Di explained it in detail, and once again sent two thousand soldiers to follow the fleet to Goryeo.
……
The weather is getting cooler.
Several brick kilns appeared in Beiping Prefecture.
At the same time, some gentry families also discovered that King Zhu Di of Yan, Chang Shi Zhu Fu, Guo An and others were not so malicious towards them gentry.
In fact, even bullying and extortion of property did not happen.
In particular, Chief Shi Guo An not only did not ask for property, but also often sat with them and discussed matters with them.
The way to wealth, the way to development, the way to study things and gain knowledge.
At first, they thought it was a bit ridiculous.
However, in view of Guo An's status, they did not dare to make any mistakes and could only deal with it with a smile.
However, although these gentry have no fame, each of them still has thousands of books in their home, and now it should be tens of thousands!
In addition, when running a family, the knowledge and insight in their hearts are already different from others, and they can be regarded as the top elites in Beiping Mansion.
So, after listening to it several times, each of their expressions became more solemn each time.
Finally, he came to Yanwang Palace every two days.
Follow the methods of the ancestors and continue to exploit the people? Take advantage of the disaster years or wars to seize the people's homes and fields?
Then, were they discovered by Lao Zhu, or were they found out by King Yan, and their homes were confiscated and their clans were exterminated?
Of course, the most important thing is that according to the development of Beiping Prefecture, even in a disaster year, will those farmers continue to let them cheat and manipulate them just for a few bites of food?
Even, based on the prosperity of Beiping Prefecture, will there be any disaster years in Beiping Prefecture?
It's not that they don't want to think about these things, it's just that they have been blinding themselves. Facing the increasingly powerful Yan Palace, they are powerless!
In this way, only what Guo An said is the way to wealth, the way to development, and the way to learn from things.
As long as a good new object is invented, it is like digging up a mountain of gold. How profitable is it?
In the past two years, they have watched helplessly as Prince Yan's Mansion unearthed several mountains of gold!
But now, there are thousands of wealthy merchants in the Ming Dynasty, all of whom want to lie at the feet of King Yan and become King Yan's loyal dog.
These gentry are also envious of these things.
However, on the one hand, it is the ancestral law and the bastion of class status.
On the one hand, there is the naked temptation of money, and the pressure from Prince Yan's palace is getting stronger day by day.
