Ming Dynasty: Huddled in Beiping County as Magistrate Chapter 370 Xu Xiang returned from Japan "Your Highness..."
Guo An thought seriously for a long time and said with a serious face: "In my humble opinion, Your Highness does not need to consider matters five years from now!"
"Huh?"
Zhu Di's expression condensed, "What does Guo Qing mean?"
Guo Andao: "Your Highness, five years is too long. According to that person's fear of Prince Yan's Mansion, there will definitely be great changes within five years.
Moreover, within such a long period of time, our country, Goryeo and Yan, will definitely be in great power.
The children of the wealthy families in our Beiping Mansion will have children from each family who will become officials of the Goryeo State of Yan in our Prince Yan Mansion.
These wealthy gentry families will inevitably start their own businesses in the Goryeo Kingdom or among the Japanese pirates."
"Moreover, most of the wealthy households that Your Majesty moves to are those with more than 700 acres of land.
However, now I am a powerful and wealthy household in Beiping Prefecture who owns so many fields..."
As he said that, Guo An's expression became a little strange.
Zhu Di's heart moved, "Guo Qing's family's fields, as well as the Guo family's and Liu's families' fields, are already more than a thousand acres!"
Guo An nodded slightly: "Your Highness is wise!"
Zhu Di said with a teasing smile: "Don't worry, Guo Qing, the powerful and wealthy households my father suppresses are all powerful and wealthy households who like to bully the common people.
We still understand the family tradition of the Guo and Liu families, and I will definitely appeal to my father for mercy when the time comes!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Guo An quickly thanked him.
I just hope that in the future, you will not suppress the Guo and Liu families!
Two days later again.
Guo Anzheng and Zhu Di were discussing some government affairs of the Yan Palace in the main hall.
Liang Hu hurriedly walked in from outside, followed by an official holding an edict.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has an edict to deliver!"
Seeing Zhu Di, the official said solemnly: "Your Majesty has an edict!"
"Zhu Di takes the imperial edict!"
Zhu Di, Guo An and others quickly accepted the edict with respectful expressions.
"King Zhu Di of Yan, although the Tatars in the north are weak, they hide deep in the desert all day long, and they are still like a secret poisonous snake to our Ming Dynasty.
Since you have the responsibility to secure the border carefully, you must secure the border well.
Now I will teach you ten things to prepare for the border:
1. Be careful to criticize, deploy widely, be careful and considerate, and try to take precautions.
Second, you must choose someone to lead the elite cavalry to hide and look out.
Third, set up ten roads to attack the fortress and wait for news.
……
10. Check military pay."
"My son takes the imperial edict!"
After listening to this very straightforward edict, Zhu Di and Guo An were not surprised at all.
Because this is the kind of edict that Zhu Yuanzhang could write.
After handing the edict to Zhu Di, the envoy took out a book and handed it to Zhu Di respectfully.
"Your Highness, this booklet contains some detailed strategies and specific measures for border preparation written by Your Majesty. I hope Your Highness will read it carefully!"
Zhu Di said solemnly: "Since it was written by my father, we will read it carefully!"
When the angel left, Guo An offered his hand to Zhu Di with a happy face.
"Congratulations to Your Highness, it seems that Your Majesty still relies on Your Highness very much!"
Zhu Di sneered and said: "What a pity, that boy Zhu Yunzhen, now he wants to let his father kill us!"
Hearing this, Guo An was also filled with doubts.
He couldn't figure out why Lao Zhu still had to add more burdens to Zhu Di when the situation was like this!
Moreover, you didn’t try to persuade Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen to make peace?
Zhu Yunwen's intention of undermining the vassal vassal has been exposed in advance. Who in the entire court does not know?
Could it be that he had to wait until after his death, all the vassal kings in the entire Ming Dynasty would start a war to get rid of Zhu Yunwen?
However, Guo An only thought about these doubts in his mind and did not say them out!
……
The other side.
Zhu Gaochi, who Guo An had never paid much attention to, was making very smooth progress in recruiting fifty scribes for the Yan Palace.
Zhu Di also personally tested the fifty scribes he recruited.
At least, these scribes know something about craftsmanship, water conservancy, roads, farming and other matters.
There are even a few who are considered proficient.
This is enough.
The most important thing is that these are enough to prove that the crown prince Zhu Gaochi can handle some government affairs on his own.
After the fifty scribes were settled, Zhu Di asked: "Guo Qing, what do you think the prince should be responsible for?"
"Chang Shiji!"
Guo An said without thinking.
"Huh?"
Zhu Di was stunned, looked at Guo An with some confusion, and asked: "Did Guo Qing have already thought about this matter?"
Guo Andao: "Your Highness, I just feel that Zhu Changshi is a little too old. In addition, now that Prince Yan's Palace Chief Shi Division has become larger and larger, there are more and more government affairs that need to be handled. Zhu Changshi has also handled some of them."
Don’t come.
It just so happens that you can ask the prince to go to the Changshi Division to help Zhu Changshi handle some government affairs, and you can also have a thorough understanding of all the affairs of our Prince Yan's Mansion!"
Hearing this, Zhu Di nodded slightly, "What Guo Qing said makes sense! In this case, let the prince go to the Changshi Division!"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Guo An quickly said with a happy face.
On the side, Zhu Gaochi also saluted Zhu Di with a face full of joy, "Please rest assured, father, I will definitely handle the government affairs of Chang Shisi!"
"Humph!"
Zhu Di couldn't help but glared at Zhu Gaochi helplessly and said, "Do you think your teacher really cares about Zhu Qing?"
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhu Di said: "He is worried that in the past few years, Zhu Qing will become older and older and will no longer be able to handle the administrative affairs of the Chief Secretary. He can just leave it to you, so as not to bother him to deal with those trivial matters of the Chief Secretary!" Zhu Gaochi immediately realized that what his father said was absolutely right.
"Dad, the teacher has a lazy temper and cannot handle these government affairs calmly. It just so happened that the child went to the Chief Secretary to share the worries between the father and the teacher!"
