Ming Dynasty: Being the Magistrate of Beiping County Chapter 365: Isn’t this a big battle? In Beiping Prefecture, Zhu Di also received information about what happened in the capital.
Zhu Di couldn't help but look at Guo An with a strange look, "Guo Qing, is this the role of the two million and a half million taels of silver?"
"This..."
Guo An was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I have no intention of showing off Prince Yan's palace, and I have not arranged for any merchants to go publicize this matter, nor have I even let anyone reveal it!"
Hearing this, Zhu Di's expression condensed, "So, how did a mere merchant know about our tribute of silver to our father?"
Guo An slightly cupped his hands towards Zhu Di, "Your Highness, I think we should send Yanshan Guards to patrol the Beiping Mansion now to see who is talking about tribute silver!"
Zhu Di was a little confused and asked: "What does Guo Qing mean?"
Guo Andao: "Your Highness, I am worried that someone is trying to frame Your Highness through this matter!"
Zhu Di looked disapproving, "It's just a tribute of 2.5 million taels of silver. Who in the court doesn't know that we have silver mountains in Japan?
What kind of articles can they make on this matter?"
Guo An quietly reminded: "Your Highness, I wonder if your Majesty will put these tribute silver into the national treasury or into the palace's internal funds?"
Zhu Di said directly: "According to my father's temperament, I naturally put in the internal funds!"
"However, nowadays the court is very short of money. If the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Personnel know that His Majesty still has millions of taels of silver hidden in his internal funds, then..."
Guo An did not continue speaking.
However, Zhu Di could already imagine what would happen, even more detailed and serious than Guo An thought.
In an instant, Zhu Di's expression darkened.
"Liang Hu!"
Liang Hu immediately ran in from outside the palace: "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"Quickly arrange for a group of Yanshan guards to patrol the city of Beiping for me to see who is talking about tribute silver!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"In addition, please inform the Beiping Prefecture Yamen General Judge Wang Zhen and ask him to send someone to investigate secretly for us!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Soon, Liang Hu retreated with a solemn expression.
Guo An added: "Your Highness, I think we need to conduct strict inspections at Zhangjiawan Wharf."
"It's extreme!"
Zhu Di's eyes widened and he nodded quickly.
Guo An continued: "In addition, you can also inform the merchants and gentry in Beiping Mansion who are close to our Prince Yan's Mansion, so that they can keep an eye on them and report them to our Prince Yan's Mansion at any time!"
"Great kindness!"
Zhu Di couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"You can also say hello to those who are trustworthy, such as the liangzhang and jiangzhang!"
"Good!"
"Your Highness, the convoys traveling between Zhangjiawan Pier and Peiping City must also be notified!"
"Good..."
When Guo An stopped talking, Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.
Immediately, he asked with a face full of surprise: "Guo Qing, why do some thieves in this area need to use such a large array?"
On the side, Zhu Gaochi had already widened his eyes and looked at Guo An blankly.
Although he didn't expect that someone would dare to use Grandpa Huang to slander his Yan Palace.
What's more, I didn't expect that after so many years, he, the teacher, seemed to be governing Beiping Mansion, setting rules for the gentry and common people in Beiping Mansion, and leading them to make money.
But in fact, Beiping Mansion has been woven into a large and airtight network!
Guo An was also surprised by Zhu Di's words.
"Your Highness, it's just a few words to tell the gentry, merchants, and coachmen to pay attention to some thieves. It's not a big battle!"
Zhu Di opened his mouth, and finally said slowly: "It's really not a big battle!"
Zhu Gaochi also nodded subconsciously.
Indeed, it only takes a few words to make the Beiping government officials, gentry, merchants, merchants, and cart drivers, and tens of thousands of people all work for the Yan Palace to keep an eye on those thieves who want to frame the Yan Palace. It is really nothing.
Big battle!
But, what is a big battle?
However, Zhu Di and Guo An did not give Zhu Gaochi a chance to react.
Soon, some scribes were summoned and gave some instructions.
Afterwards, the scribes went to summon their respective stewards, merchants, and gentry!
It takes less than a day.
The entire city of Beiping, including the surrounding Tongzhou and Liangxiang counties, all the well-known local gentry, merchants, merchants, or government servants knew the words passed down from Prince Yan's Mansion.
In the past few days, they are not allowed to discuss any affairs of Prince Yan's palace at will.
If you hear anyone talking about the people who paid tribute to His Majesty, His Majesty the King of Yan, please do not speak out and report directly to the nearest Yanshan Guard.
This is the first time these words have been passed down from the Yan Palace.
Although no reward was said, everyone began to wander outside all day long, with their ears pricked up, as if they were treasure hunting, hoping to find those unlucky thieves.
Indeed.
He actually dared to come to Beiping Mansion and provoke Prince Yan's Mansion, and Prince Yan's Mansion knew about it in advance. Isn't he the most unlucky traitor they have ever seen?
Do you really think that Guo Changshi of Prince Yan’s Mansion is easy to bully?
It's a pity that they, the gentry, thought that Guo Changshi was a kind person. After so many years, they suddenly realized how dark Guo Changshi's heart was!
The knowledge books, land, scholars, and even the businessmen who make money for them as gentry are all under the control of Guo Changshi without knowing it!
Especially those stupid people, military households, and craftsmen households regard the Yan Palace as a god!
Poor Beiping Mansion, it has already become Prince Yan's Mansion with a single word!
All the gentry were complaining secretly in their hearts while pricking their ears and searching carefully.
