Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 192
"Your Highness, that Song Guogong really hid some good horses, and even went out to drink with Naha's wife and daughter at night?"

On the way back, Guo An asked curiously while there was no one around.

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Is the emperor still wronging Feng Sheng? Moreover, it was Chang Mao who personally exposed this matter."

"Ugh!"

Guo An subconsciously sighed.

Zhu Di said bitterly: "Cao bandits!"

"Cao Thief?"

Guo An glanced at Zhu Di in surprise, why did Zhu Lao Si have such a grudge against Cao thief.

Zhu Di reacted, and waved his hands impatiently, "Okay, this expedition has been going on for so long, Guo Qing should take a good rest after returning, don't ask about these things."

"The humble minister obeys the order!"

Guo An nodded slightly, and didn't ask any more questions.

After Zhu Di said so, he was indeed homesick.

Moreover, after calculating the time, his child should be born.

The more he thought about it, Guo An's thoughts couldn't stop suddenly, and he rushed out crazily.

Similarly, the closer they got to Beiping Mansion, the faster the pace of the Yanshan guards.

Half a month later, Guo An hurried into the familiar Chunshu Alley with Guo Erniu.

"Master is back!"

With a cry of surprise, Guo An quickly walked into the house.

"Father, Mother, Master Yuezhang, Mother-in-law..."

There was a group of people facing him, and Guo An couldn't help being surprised.

"You bastard, you've been away for more than half a year, go wash up and meet Bai Wei and your child!"

"child?"

Guo An's eyes lit up, he hurriedly cupped his hands towards Father Guo, Father Liu and the others, and walked in quickly.

Sure enough, in the innermost room, Liu Baiwei was sitting on the bed, and in the innermost part of the bed, there was a small person who was babbling.

"Sister, we're back!"

With a soft shout, Guo An hurried over.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Guo An was stunned, his eyes widened, and he looked at the little man who appeared in the bed with a face full of disbelief.

"Sister, two...how could it be two?..."

"Why can't there be two? The twins have wronged you?"

Before Liu Baiwei could reply, Mother Guo appeared behind her and slapped Guo An's head hard. Although her mouth was full of disgust, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.

"Hey, I didn't expect that the girl is so powerful that she can give birth to a dragon and phoenix twin for my Guo family!
The girl is really a great hero of our Guo family..."

As he said that, Guo An walked over cautiously, and made Liu Baiwei blush.

"Husband, is mother still there?"

"It's okay! You are my wife..."

Guo An didn't mind at all, so he turned his head and teased the two little things. Although they were still small, their skin was wrinkled and ugly, but in Guo An's eyes, they were extremely kind.

This is his cub, or two at a time!
As for Guo's mother, she gave Guo An a disgusted look and walked out.

"In the past few months, I have wronged my sister!"

Inside the house, Guo An said affectionately.

"My husband, what are you talking about? My concubine has someone to take care of me when I eat and drink. Unlike my husband, who has been out for more than half a year, the whole person is black..."

"..."

In the house, the two were talking sweet words.

Outside the main hall, Father Guo, Father Liu and others were asking Guo Erniu in front of them with solemn faces.

……

After resting at home for two whole days, Guo An went to Yan Wang's mansion to do some work.

Then, after reading a few account books, Guo An already had a clear understanding of the development of Prince Yan's Mansion.

"See His Royal Highness King Yan!"

In the Cunxin Hall, after two days of rest, Zhu Di sat on the throne alive and well.

Zhu Fu and Guo An sat down with a listless look on their faces.

As the head of Yan Wang's residence, all matters, including how to arrange for the 8000 yuan army to surrender, are all on Zhu Fu's shoulders. The old man has been exhausted in the past few months.

Guo An, on the other hand, just hasn't slowed down yet.

Zhu Di asked: "Guo Qing, the 8000 Yuan soldiers were brought back at your request. I don't know how you plan to arrange them?"

Hearing this, Zhu Fu's expression darkened, and he turned to stare at Guo An.

In the past two days, he was worried about resettling the eight thousand Mongols. As a result, he never expected that the eight thousand bastards were actually brought back by Guo An's request.

"Those eight thousand Mongols don't know how to farm, and we don't have grassland for them to graze in Beiping Prefecture. I don't know what is the use of Guo Changshi bringing these Mongols back to Beiping?"

"Zhu Changshi, don't worry, don't worry!"

Guo An was taken aback for a moment, wondering why the eight thousand Mongols provoked the old man, and quickly said: "The eight thousand Mongols, regardless of men, women, or children, are all big-bodied and thick-waisted. A good hand.

Moreover, these [-] Mongols are all defeated by my Yanshan Guard. As long as my Yanshan Guard takes care of them, forgive them for not being dishonest.

In this way, they are laborers who are easy to use and free of money! "

Zhu Fu said angrily: "Hmph, but they are also good at eating.

Guo Changshi knows that in just these two days, the eight thousand Mongols ate a lot of food from my Yan Palace, and they even clamored for meat!
The soldiers of my King Yan's Mansion don't have much meat to eat, just their Tartars... My King Yan's Mansion supports 8000 of them, it's better to raise [-] Yanshan Guards! "

Guo An smiled lightly, and said, "Zhu Changshi, if those Mongols use it in the right place, they will be much easier to use than Yanshanwei."

"Oh?"

A trace of curiosity flashed across Zhu Di and Zhu Fu's eyes.

"What does Guo Qing want these Mongolians to do?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, you can let these Mongolians go to the farms to raise pigs, sheep, and cattle... You can also let these Mongolians enter the caravan under my Yanwang Mansion. With their strength, they are good at work. , and know horses best...

And let them go in to burn cement...

If there is a matter of building a concrete house, they can also be asked to participate...Of course, if they want to farm, then my Yan Palace has plenty of land, and they can cultivate it as they like..."

Zhu Di frowned slightly. He didn't bring back these eight thousand Mongolian Tartars to ruin these Mongolians.

As for Zhu Fu, he also frowned slightly.

"Guo Changshi, these Mongolian Tartars are wild and unruly. None of them can do the work you mentioned."

Guo An looked confident, "Zhu Changshi, these Mongolian Tartars are all fearful of power and not afraid of morality. As long as I, Yanshan Guard, can calm them down, they can't do it, but they have to do it."

As he spoke, Guo An thought of something, and said: "Besides, half of the [-] Mongols are women and weak, so give them land and houses.

Didn't they adapt well when they ruled my Central Plains?

How could this happen? Let them plant some land, but they can't do it? "

Zhu Fu was thoughtful, "So..."

Zhu Di suddenly coughed and said, "Zhu Qing, Guo Qing, we want to use these Mongolians to form a fine cavalry, what do you think?"

Both Zhu Fu and Guo An were subconsciously taken aback.

Guo An tentatively asked: "Your Highness wants to make those Mongols into cavalry?"

"What is Guo Qing's strategy?"

Zhu Di asked with some expectation.

Guo An shook his head slowly, "Your Highness is disappointed, I don't understand military affairs, so I'm afraid I can't give His Highness advice.

However, Weichen is a little worried. These Mongols are capricious, unless they are subdued all the time.

Otherwise, they may rebel again if they get the chance. "

Zhu Di asked again: "If all their family members are left in Beiping Mansion, if they dare to rebel, they will be executed directly?"

"This……"

Guo An sighed slightly, "Since Your Highness has such an idea, I can only support His Highness. However, I will still doubt the loyalty of these Mongolians."

Zhu Di showed a smile on his face, "Guo Qing, don't worry, we will send someone to take care of those Mongolians."

As for Zhu Fu on the side, Zhu Di didn't ask any more questions.

And Zhu Fu just opened his mouth depressed, and didn't say much.

Of the eight thousand Mongols, half of them are their family members, so if they want to use these Mongols to form cavalry, the most they can do is to form three thousand-man teams.

Guo An and Zhu Fu were very sensible and did not interfere with such a sensitive matter as forming an army.

In just half a month, Zhu Di seems to have been formed.

After hearing this, Guo An sighed slightly again.

Wouldn't it be good for these Mongols to become caravan guards, to serve as coachmen on weekdays, and to serve as cavalry in wars?
Now it's so conspicuous?

……

One month after Guo An came back.

A businessman came to the door enthusiastically.

"Craftsman Shen Zhuang met Guo Changshi!"

"Shen Zhuang?"

Seeing Shen Zhuang, Guo An couldn't help being taken aback. Speaking of which, he hadn't seen this member of the Shen family for a long time.

"You came to look for this officer this time, but the objects on the portraits that this officer handed over to you have been found?"

Shen Zhuang said with admiration: "Guo Changshi is wise."

"what?"

Guo An stood up abruptly, staring at Shen Zhuang closely, "You didn't lie to me, did you really find it?"

Shen Zhuang was startled, he didn't expect Guo An's reaction to be so big, and said quickly: "Reporting to Guo Changshi, the things on those portraits are all weird, the grass people just found one, but the grass people are not sure whether it is It is what Guo Changshi needs, so I brought it for Guo Changshi to appraise it, and also asked Guo Changshi not to get excited..."

Guo An said directly: "Take it out quickly."

"Yes!"

Without hesitation, Shen Zhuang quickly put his hand into his sleeve, and then took out a small cloth bag from inside.

After carefully opening the small cloth pouch, a few bright red finger-length objects were exposed inside.

Xu Shi was afraid that Guo An would not believe it, so Shen Zhuang quickly said: "Guo Changshi should not think that this thing is not like chili peppers. Caomin heard from the old man at home that when this thing just came out, it looked like what Guo Changshi painted. .

It's just that, after drying this thing, it will look like this! "

"I know."

Guo An said excitedly.

He recognized at a glance that the object in Shen Zhuang's hand was pepper.

Immediately, he took one, wiped it with his hands, carefully licked it with his tongue, and immediately inhaled.

So spicy!

Shen Zhuang was shocked immediately, "Guo Changshi must not, this chili is poisonous!"

"Ok?"

Guo An paused, his face full of shock.

"What poison?"

Shen Zhuang said: "Guo Changshi doesn't know that in Yunnan and other places, the more red the thing is, the more poisonous it is. Although this thing is from overseas, it is also very poisonous.

After ingestion, it will sting people's skin and intestines and stomach, although the poison will not kill people, it will also make people's lips red and swollen, in severe cases... it will also make people have diarrhea, and even the pain is unbearable..."

Guo An couldn't help but look weird, what kind of poisoning is this?
However, Guo An's expression misunderstood Shen Zhuang, so he explained: "Don't worry about Guo Changshi, although this thing has poison, but eating a small amount will not cause any serious problems."
