Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 147 Goryeo envoys come to Peiping?
After speaking, Guo An dragged Liu Baiwei, sat under the candle, and watched carefully.

The ancients obviously paid great attention to the picture albums in this area. Not only were the details of the characters clearly drawn, but even the tricks were clearly drawn.

Therefore, after reading two pages, Guo An became a little distracted and fancied.

Looking at Liu Baiwei at the side, blood was about to drip from his face.

Now, Guo An couldn't bear it anymore, he threw the picture album aside, copied it with both hands, and hugged a princess.

Warm jade in my arms.

Liu Baiwei exclaimed, "Husband, I haven't finished the album yet..."

Guo An said domineeringly: "Today, we will study the first two pages first, and the picture book at the back, and we will learn while reading it later..."

There is no more voice in the house.

The candlelight was flickering, the shadows were faint and rustling.

The bright moon in the sky couldn't help being a little shy, and slowly covered her eyes.

……

The next day.

Guo An also got up very early.

On the first day, the bride greets her in-laws.

On the third day, the newcomers returned home.

Guo An and Liu Baiwei came to Liu's Mansion with a cart full of gifts.

After some greetings, Mother Liu took Liu Baiwei to the backyard and whispered.

As for Guo An, he stayed with Liu's father, talking about his official career and political affairs.

"Ning Yi is now at such an age that he is already the head of Yan Wangfu. Do you intend to enter the court as an official in the future?"

Guo An replied: "Thank you for your kindness, but Ning Yi wants to learn from his ancestors, and he will not be an official career in his life, only to study knowledge.

But in Yanwang Mansion, Ning Yi is very free and comfortable, never needing to worry about the intrigues in the officialdom. "

Father Liu sighed slightly, "Your Guo family's temperament is always like this, that's all, that's fine, now in the official world... the old man is a bit slippery.

However, with Er's personality like this, the old man can rest assured that Wei'er will be handed over to you. "

Guo An said: "Don't worry, Father-in-law, Guo Anding will live up to Bai Wei."

Father Liu was relieved, "It's good if you have this heart."

Later, Liu's father asked again: "Is there anything Ning Yi can do for the old man to help? Although the old man is not in the officialdom, but in places like Shandong and Henan, the old man still has some face."

"Thank you, Father-in-law, for your concern."

Guo An thanked again, but he was not polite to Liu's father, but said directly: "Ning Yi wants to start a big industry in Beiping, it is the knowledge of craftsmen, and the study of utensils that benefit the country and the people.

Therefore, if Yuezhang meets some scholars who like craftsman's things, or are depressed scholars, please ask him to recommend Yanwang Mansion. "

"Just for this?"

Father Liu was a little surprised.

Guo An nodded affirmatively, "Just for this!"

Father Liu said: "So, Ning Yi, don't worry, as long as the old man meets someone with the same ambition as Ning Yi, he will definitely recommend him to go to Beiping Mansion."

"Thank you, Mr. Yuezhang..."

……

Next, Guo An followed Father Guo to pay respects to some elderly people.

Afterwards, he told Father Guo carefully.

The general meaning is that he, Guo An, was always able to make money by following Yan Wang Zhu Di in Beiping Mansion.

At least tens of thousands of taels of silver a year.

If the Zhangjiawan Wharf is built again, it can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver every year.

The Guo family will never be short of money!

Father Guo can go and don't learn from those virtuous gentry who hide their fields or oppress the people.

Especially those side branches who are optimistic about the Guo family.

With the one from Yingtiancheng present, whoever dares to act recklessly will surely not be able to escape the destruction of his family.

In this regard, Father Guo nodded repeatedly.

In this regard, Guo An is quite relieved. People in the Guo family seem to like to touch utensils and research things since they were young.

I didn't develop the bad habits of oppressing the people or iron cocks.

In this way, after staying at Guo's house for five days.

Guo An took Liu Baiwei and set off for Beiping Mansion.

This time, there are more young people in the team, and some older people.

These are all the people in Guo Village, or some of the offshoots of the Guo family, who want to follow Guo An to Beiping.

Just in time, Guo An felt that he had to start buying some properties for his family, and these people knew the basics, and his family did not refuse.

at the same time.

A team with a strange composition also came from Yingtian City to Beiping Mansion.

……

ten days later.

The moment Guo An saw the city gate of Beiping Mansion, Guo An felt inexplicably relaxed.

Only Beiping Mansion can make him feel at ease.

Then go back to the house and settle down a group of people.

On the second day, Guo An was on duty every day.

"My minister sees Your Highness!"

Above, Zhu Di grinned as he looked at His Highness Guo An, whose face was glowing red.

"Guo Qing came back just in time. A group of envoys from the vassal state will come to Beiping mansion in the past few days."

"A foreign envoy?"

Guo An couldn't help being slightly taken aback, "Your Highness, why did the envoy of the feudal kingdom come to Beiping Mansion if he didn't go to the capital?"

Zhu Di said with a strange expression: "He came from the capital, and he was accompanied by the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple."

"Accompanied by the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple?"

Guo An was even more puzzled, "Does your Highness know why they came here?"

"It should be the glass of our Prince Yan's mansion, and even the technology of growing vegetables in winter."

Zhu Di replied calmly.

"This...isn't it nonsense..."

Guo An didn't know what to say.

"Those foreigners are wishful thinking!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "What Guo Qing said is absolutely true, they are all wishful thinking!"

"them?"

Guo An keenly sensed something was wrong, and quickly looked at Zhu Di.

"His Highness refers to..."

Zhu Di glanced at Guo An, and said in a low voice, "Don't make wild guesses. If the emperor and the emperor want this technology, send a letter, and we will send it directly."

"Weichen understands."

Guo An nodded slightly, "So, please His Highness send another hundred households to the farm to prevent those bastards from sneaking into the farm and defrauding the trust of those old soldiers.

In addition, those craftsmen who built the farm also need to send people to watch some. "

Zhu Di said: "We have already explained this matter."

Guo An said: "Your Highness is wise!"

At this time, Li Wang walked in from outside the hall and reported directly: "His Royal Highness, the Korean envoy has arrived at Zhangjiawan Wharf.

They are watching the newly built concrete houses in Zhangjiawan Wharf, and they are also interested in cement roads. "

"As long as they don't interfere with the construction of the dock, don't worry about it!"

Zhu Di waved his hand casually and said.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Li Wang responded and withdrew.

"Your Highness, it seems that these barbarians will be able to reach Beiping Mansion tonight." Guo An said.

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, with an annoyed look on his face.

"These Koryo envoys will definitely come to visit us tomorrow, Zhu Qing is too honest and safe, we are afraid that Zhu Qing will fall into the tricks of those thief officials and Korean envoys.

At that time, Guo Qing will come forward to receive these people. "

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Guo An nodded slowly.

Without Zhu Di opening his mouth, Guo An would not miss tomorrow's scene.

A group of barbarians, as well as a group of treacherous ministers who can only engage in intrigue, actually wanted to get his idea of ​​glass and greenhouses.

Moreover, it seems that they have taken a fancy to cement again?
How dare they?
Sure enough, in the afternoon, the Koryo envoys brought by the Honglu Temple entered the capital city of Beiping.

Yu Rentian, the magistrate of Beiping Prefecture, greeted him with all the chief officials of the Beiping Prefecture Yamen.

But the chief envoy, the inspector, and the commander of the capital ignored this group of people, let alone sent someone out to greet them.

Hearing this news, Guo An couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"That Fu Zun is really pitiful!"

"Master, why is this dignified man so pitiful?" Guo Erniu looked puzzled.

"Tsk!"

Guo An sneered, "In such a city, there are three or four mothers-in-law in charge of the mansion lord, so it's not his turn to do good things, and it's him who offends people.

Do you think he is not pitiful? "

"That's what the master said!"

Guo Erniu nodded slightly, and then said: "However, to become the lord of a family is something that no one can ask for!"

"I didn't expect you kid to become smarter!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "However, there will be no meat in your meal today!"

"Ah, master, no..."

……

The next day.

Li Shihou, the Korean envoy, and Bi Wenxuan, the right Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, handed over the greeting cards.

Afterwards, King Zhu Di of Yan summoned Li Shihou, an envoy from Korea, in the Chengyun Hall, Bi Wenxi, You Shaoqing of Honghe Temple, and a group of Honghe Temple officials accompanied him.

However, at this time, all of Koryo began to imitate Ming Dynasty, the domestic imperial examinations for scholars, speaking Chinese, and even the entire Koryo country also imitated Daming to wear crown clothes.

Bi Wenxi, You Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, is a true companion.

After some greetings, Zhu Di really didn't want to talk to these Korean envoys, so he asked straight to the point.

"Goryeo envoy Li Shihou, after you paid tribute to my Daming, why didn't you go back to Koryo as soon as possible, instead you stayed in my Daming, and even came all the way to my king's place?"

Hearing this, Li Shihou was stunned, he didn't expect that this king of Yan was different from the Ming officials he had come into contact with, and he was so forthright.

However, this is exactly what Li Shihou wanted.

Immediately got up, and saluted Zhu Di respectfully.

"His Royal Highness Yan Wang is wise, foreign minister Li Shihou came to Beiping Mansion this time, and he really wanted to see His Royal Highness Yan Wang."

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Di asked quietly.

Li Shihou replied with a look of admiration: "The Koryo country where the foreign ministers live, has regarded the Central Plains Dynasty as the suzerain since the beginning of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the kings of all dynasties have paid tribute to the suzerain.

Now, the King of Koryo regards the Ming Dynasty as the orthodox of China, so I worship all kinds of new objects that appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

For example, the glass made in the mansion of His Highness the King of Yan, and even a fetish like cement? "

"Since then, the foreign ministers have paid tribute to Daming, and under the order of our king, they want to ask Daming for such gods as glass and cement."

"In addition, I would like to ask His Royal Highness Yan Wang to forgive foreign ministers for their boldness. I heard that His Highness Yan Ren Ren Xian innovated, and he was able to grow fresh vegetables in the cold winter covered with heavy snow.

And the foreign minister Koryo country is extremely cold every winter, so the foreign minister boldly begged His Royal Highness King Yan to bestow this technology on the foreign minister.

The officials and subjects of the Goryeo Kingdom will be very grateful for His Highness King Yan's generosity! "

Silence!
After Li Shihou finished speaking, all the officials in the entire carrier hall stared at Li Shihou in the center with dumbfounded expressions.

No one expected that Master Li would be so shameless and shameless!
"presumptuous!"

"Shameless You!"

In the hall, Zhu Fu and Guo An scolded with angry eyes.

"You bastards, you are extremely poor!"

"You mere Koryo feudal kingdom, how can you have the technology to grow vegetables in cold winter? Even the fetishes of glass and cement, how can you and other Koryo feudal kingdoms be equipped with it?"

"You are so cheeky to ask His Royal Highness King Yan to give it to you? The barbarians want to covet my Da Ming's fetish, but it's not good to bully my Da Ming's soldiers?"

"This……"

Li Shihou's face froze, full of grievances.

"I don't know why the two superiors insulted the subordinates so much?"
