Ming Dynasty: Huddled in Beiping and became the magistrate of the county. Chapter 412 of the text volume. Guo An was a little unconvinced and directly handed over his hands in salute.
"Your Majesty, I recommend a cabinet bachelor!"
"Oh?"
Zhu Di suddenly looked at Guo An with interest.
"Who does Guo Qing recommend?"
Guo Andao: "Zhu Fu Zhu Changshi!"
"Zhu Qing?"
Zhu Di couldn't help but have a weird look on his face, "When Zhu Qing met you, you were really unlucky for eight lifetimes!
Zhu Qing is already so old. When he was in Beiping Mansion, he dealt with the government affairs you left behind all day long.
Now, we summoned Zhu Qing to the capital, and you asked Zhu Qing to approve the entire Ming Dynasty memorial?"
"Your Majesty has misunderstood the minister!"
Guo Andao: "Wei Chen is doing this entirely for His Majesty's sake!"
Zhu Di curled his lips and said, "We would like to hear what Guo Qing thinks?"
Guo An hurriedly said: "When His Majesty was still King of Yan, Zhu Changshi was His Highness's chief historian and helped His Majesty handle the general affairs of the Yan Palace for more than ten years.
Zhu Changshi is most familiar with His Majesty’s thoughts.
Your Majesty is also most familiar with Zhu Changshi's temperament, conduct, and talents.
Moreover, when Zhu Changshi was in Prince Yan's Mansion, he was very familiar with farmland, farms, merchants, officials, and military affairs.
When the cabinet is established, it is most convenient and at ease for Your Majesty to use the people you are most familiar with!"
"So, Guo Qing really thinks about us!"
Zhu Di said with a smile, but the teasing look in his eyes made Zhu Gaochi on the side couldn't help but tilt his head slightly.
No shame to see.
As for Guo An, he has always been very thick-skinned, and he saluted Zhu Di with a serious look on his face.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhu Di sighed softly and said: "It's just that Zhu Changshi must suffer endless pain of filing documents again!"
Guo An slowly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is wrong.
Wei Chen once heard that there are often many old people who are busy with government affairs. After becoming official, they suddenly become free and have nothing to do. They will be extremely uncomfortable and even become decadent.
Presumably, the same is true for Zhu Changshi.
After joining the cabinet, Zhu Changshi can start busy again and prove his worth to His Majesty. Zhu Changshi should be very happy!"
Zhu Di couldn't help but said: "Guo Qing really understands Zhu Qing. After Zhu Qing knows this, he will definitely thank Guo Qing."
Guo An seemed unable to hear the sarcasm in Zhu Di's tone, and said quickly: "Your Majesty is laughing. After all, Wei Chen has worked with Zhu Changshi for many years!"
Zhu Di couldn't help but admire Guo An's shamelessness.
"..."
Thief Guo has just solved a big problem for us, so it is not appropriate to scold him.
Zhu Di took a slow breath and said again: "Everyone in Prince Yan's palace was able to survive the disaster, and we were also able to be taken seriously by the emperor, promoted to crown prince, and now ascended the throne. Guo Qing has contributed a lot!
I wonder what reward Guo Qing wants?"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi on the side quickly looked at Guo An.
Guo An was also startled, and then he quickly said: "Wei Chen is your Majesty's subordinate in Prince Yan's Mansion. We have already shared the prosperity and loss with Your Majesty. Helping Your Majesty is just rescuing Wei Chen.
But now, Your Majesty has promoted Wei Chen to the fourth rank, Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi, Zhongshun Doctor, and has also allowed Wei Chen to purchase half of the members of the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce. Wei Chen is already grateful and dare not ask for other rewards." Zhu Di asked again: "Do you really don't want it?"
This made Guo An startled and hesitant.
In this world, the greatest achievement is the merit of Conglong!
After all, he had won the throne for him, what greater credit could there be than this?
It's just that the price after accepting the reward...
Thinking about it, Guo An couldn't help but feel embarrassed!
On the side, Zhu Gaochi was anxious!
"Teacher, as a minister, how can I hesitate and refuse the gift from my father?"
Guo An shuddered and saluted quickly, "I thank your majesty for the gift!"
Zhu Di snorted coldly, "This is the first reward we have received since we came to the throne. You don't know what is good and what is good, how dare you hesitate?"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Guo An said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen really feels that the reward your Majesty gave to Wei Chen before was good enough, and Wei Chen subconsciously wanted to refuse.
However, I also think that Your Majesty is so kind to me, and I have to appreciate him!"
"Humph!"
Zhu Di snorted coldly, "You're pretty sensible!"
Guo An quickly apologized and said with a smile, "It's the fault of a minor official!"
Zhu Di suddenly straightened his expression and said, "Guo An listens!"
"The humble minister accepts the order!"
Guo An quickly saluted.
Zhu Di said loudly: "You are an old minister of Prince Yan's palace. You are knowledgeable and talented. You improved rice seeds, blessed thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, and contributed to the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty.
He also improved the secret skills of steel-making and invented several firearms, which helped our Prince Yan's Mansion capture Goryeo and the Japanese Kingdom, pacify the Japanese invasion along the coast of our Ming Dynasty, and open up and expand our territory for the Ming Dynasty. We have outstanding military achievements!
Since the founding of the country by Emperor Taizu Gao, meritorious deeds must be rewarded and transgressions must be punished.
You are still our minister of the dragon, and you should be called Yang Deze and praise your merits...
We now decree that you are the Marquis of Dinghai, with a settlement of thousands of households, 20,000 acres of fertile land, and an iron certificate, which will be hereditary and will not replace you, in order to honor you!"
"Marquis of Dinghai? Marquis?"
Guo An opened his mouth wide and froze on the spot.
He didn't expect that he would be made a marquis directly without going through Jingnan!
Although he is the Marquis of Dinghai, he will surely be responsible for opening up the sea in the future.
But, this is also a Marquis!
Moreover, there are still thousands of households in the city!
When Lao Zhu was in power, there were also examples of rewarding food households. The biggest food reward was to the first founding hero Li Shanchang, who asked Li Shanchang to choose 30,000 Shandong households to support Li Shanchang.
