Ming Dynasty: Huddled in Beiping and became the county magistrate Chapter 396 Guo An went to see Zhu Yuanzhang "Your Majesty called me?"
Guo An couldn't help but be surprised.
Zhu Gaosui on the opposite side laughed directly and said: "Guo Changshi, you are miserable. You must have done something wrong. Grandpa Huang wants to beat you!"
Guo An was not upset because Zhu Gaosui was beaten many times by Zhu Di in front of him.
"Your Majesty, Third Highness, I am a humble official with a low position. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, you will not send someone to summon me. You can just issue an edict!"
As he said that, Guo An had already stood up.
However, just as he was about to take a few steps, he remembered something and turned to Zhu Gaosui and asked: "His Majesty, the Third Highness, is bored. I wonder if I can go to see His Majesty with my ministers?"
Zhu Gaosui shrank his neck and shook his head repeatedly.
"Guo Changshi wants to trick me again, I won't fall for it!"
"Alas!"
Guo An sighed helplessly, "Maybe it will be a good thing for me to go this time! Since His Highness is unwilling, then I will go alone!"
Zhu Gaosui still shook his head firmly, "I won't be fooled!"
A flash of surprise flashed in Guo An's eyes, and he quickly followed the waiter and walked out.
Outside the temple.
Standing there was a burly and cold-faced general.
Seeing this person, Guo An couldn't help but be surprised, and quickly saluted: "I have met Commander Zhao!"
Seeing Guo An, Erhu's expression softened a little, "Your Majesty summoned Guo Changshi, and asked Guo Changshi to follow me quickly. Don't keep your Majesty waiting!"
"Yes!"
Guo An responded quickly.
Immediately, Erhu took Guo An and walked into the palace.
Along the way, the two tigers were walking in a hurry, as if they were very anxious.
Guo An, on the other hand, was also a little wary of Zhu Yuanzhang, the highly trusted commander of the inner guard.
Therefore, no one spoke.
After entering the Fengtian Hall, the two tigers reported to Zhu Yuanzhang above: "Your Majesty, Shi Guo'an, the Chief of the Yan Palace, is here!"
Looking up at the old man with silver hair and an old face, but always giving people an intimidating aura, Guo An felt a tremble in his heart and quickly knelt down to pay tribute.
"Guo An, a humble minister, pays homage to His Majesty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly turned his head, glanced at Guo An curiously, and said softly.
"Get up and speak!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Guo An stood up quickly, but did not dare to look at Zhu Yuanzhang.
He always felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes could see through his heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang said quietly: "Guo An, a native of Shunde Prefecture, a descendant of Taishi Guo of the former Yuan Dynasty, was born in the 25th year of Zhizheng! He likes calculations and craftsmanship, and has a lazy temperament. He is very similar to Taishi Guo!<
/p>
The method of forging steel, cement, transparent glass, the art of growing vegetables in winter, hand-thrown bombs, landmines, incendiary bombs, artillery...
There are also chili peppers, sugar, and high-quality rice worth thousands of gold. These rare items hidden in Prince Yan’s Mansion were all invented by you!”
"Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch, and there is nothing to hide from your subordinates!"
Guo An's heart trembled and he said respectfully again.
On the side, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi were also shocked.
They thought that they had hidden these things extremely closely, but they did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang actually knew them so carefully.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and continued to say to Guo An: "Although you are a little restless, the fine rice seeds developed at Yanwangfu Farm alone are a great contribution to our Ming Dynasty.
The prince wants you to serve as the Young Master of Zhanshi Mansion in the East Palace, and we agree."
Guo An saluted again, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best to assist His Majesty the Crown Prince!"
"Hmm!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and asked again: "I heard that you suggested that the prince want to build several workshops and farms near Yingtian City?"
"Wei Chen dare not hide it from Your Majesty. This suggestion is exactly what Wei Chen put forward!"
Guo An quickly said: "However, someone previously suggested that His Highness move the workshops and farms in Beiping Prefecture to the capital.
Wei Chen is worried that without those workshops and farms in Beiping Prefecture, the people of Beiping Prefecture will become poor again.
Therefore, Wei Chen suggested that His Royal Highness the Prince could build several more similar workshops in Yingtian City.
In this way, there is no need to move the workshop in Beiping Prefecture!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, turned to look at Zhu Di, and asked: "We heard that people can make a lot of money by going into workshops.
What if a workshop is opened near the capital, and all the people go to the workshop to make money instead of growing food?"
"This..."
Guo An frowned slightly, thought for a long time, and then said cautiously: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I feel that Your Majesty may have neglected something!"
The expressions of Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi suddenly changed.
"Guo An, don't be arrogant in front of your father!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Zhu Di, and then asked Guo An: "Tell me, what did we neglect?"
Guo Andao: "Back to Your Majesty, I feel that the food grown by the people in our Ming Dynasty is enough for the people!"
"Huh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
Zhu Di was shocked, wondering when Guo An, who had always been timid, became so bold.
However, he still hurriedly apologized to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, forgive me, Guo An was so excited when he met his father for the first time!"
"Shut up!"
Zhu Yuanzhang directly scolded Zhu Di, then stared at Guo An and asked: "Tell me carefully, we would like to know, since the people of the Ming Dynasty grew enough food to eat, why is there always not enough in every year of famine?"
Eat, and thousands of people will starve to death!"
Guo An saluted and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, that's because many people hoard food for money and raise the price of food to sky-high prices."
