Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 213 Scholars, it's time to show off your talents!
Goryeo Wangjing.

Zhu Di and Guo An, as well as Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others, have also fallen into gentle troubles these days.

Chen Shou looked distressed and said: "Your Highness, you can just issue an order, those nobles in Korea are too shameless!"

Hearing this, Guo An also looked helpless, "Yes, Your Highness, it's fine if they offer you their own daughters! They don't even let such a thin civil servant like Weichen go!"

Zhang Xing grinned and said: "Hey, the general and others heard that even the Han family gave Guo Changshi a daughter!"

Guo Andao: "Your Highness, how did I hear that the Liu family of Zhongzhou, the Liu family of Zhenzhou, the Pu family of Pingzhou, the Yu family of Pingzhou, the Kang family of Gushan, the Jin family of Gyeongju, and the Min family of Lixing... these Korean nobles , send young and beautiful women from each family to send to the commanding mansions?"

Now, Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others were not calm, and quickly said: "Your Highness, before those women were sent, the last general and others did not know.

Moreover, the last general and others did not dare to accept any of them! "

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "This king knows about this matter. What's more, what Guo Qing said didn't mean to criticize you!"

"Your Highness, please show me!"

Chen Shou and the others hurriedly asked for instructions.

"After all, this place is the capital of Koryo, and I, Yanshan Guard, only have more than 1 people."

Zhu Di asked: "As you can see, as early as 30 years ago, more than [-] red scarf troops invaded Goryeo and occupied the capital of Goryeo.

The King of Korea was forced to flee with a group of dignitaries, while the Red Scarf Army looted and slaughtered the Koreans in Wangjing.

While the Koreans waited until the Red Scarf Army got carried away and just climbed on the belly of the Korean woman to have fun, then Li Chenggui sneaked into Wangjing with two thousand elite Koreans, killed all the leaders of the Red Scarf Army, and more than [-] Red Scarf Army Directly rout everywhere..."

Hearing this, Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others immediately became solemn.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, the last general and others will definitely guard against those nobles in Korea!"

On the side, Guo An said: "For the women sent by the dignitaries in Korea, the commanders also need to accept two or three of them!"

"Ok?"

Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and the others couldn't help but be puzzled.

Guo An continued: "Not only do the commanders want to accept, but His Highness also needs to accept the three daughters of the nobles in Korea, so as to win over and stabilize the hearts of some nobles in Korea!"

"Three?"

Zhu Di's eyes widened, and he looked at Guo An in astonishment.

"Guo Qing, this king is not interested in female sex!"

Guo Andao: "Your Highness doesn't need to get close to those rich and powerful daughters, just keep them in the royal palace of Korea.

The point is the dignitaries behind those women, as long as His Highness accepts those dignitary daughters, those noble families will believe that His Highness will not embarrass them.

In this way, those dignitaries can let go of their courage... If those dignitaries can rely on their relationship with His Highness to bully and exploit other dignitaries, that would be great...

The same is true for the generals Commander Chen and Commander Zhang, at least two rich and powerful daughters, or three...

Since ancient times, people have always suffered from inequality rather than scarcity.

As long as this is used to separate those Goryeo dignitaries, it is best to stir up conflicts, and the whole Goryeo will become dough in His Highness's hands, let His Highness knead it! "

"Besides, those Goryeo girls are all beautiful, charming and coquettish. Your Highness and the generals are not bad either..."

Zhu Di, Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others couldn't help but feel thoughtful.

Suddenly, Zhu Di thought of something and asked, "So many nobles in Korea gave Guo Qing some concubine daughters, why didn't Guo Qing accept them? Instead, he persuaded the king, Chen Shou, and Zhang Xing to accept them?"

Guo An smiled awkwardly, "This minister is weak, unlike his Highness, Commander Chen and others who are generals, I am afraid that one day those Korean girls will go crazy and want to assassinate this minister, this minister..."

Zhu Di, Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths, their faces full of weirdness.

However, Guo An has psychological barriers, but Zhu Di, Chen Shou and others do not.

It was just a few Goryeo girls. Anyway, after Lao Zhu founded the country, Goryeo often gave tribute girls to Daming.

Soon, Zhu Di accepted a woman donated by a nobleman in Korea.

As for conductors such as Chen Shou and Zhang Xing, they all accepted one.

Seeing this, all the dignitaries in Korea were overjoyed.

On the second day, there will be more than a dozen nobles from Korea in each person's house.

Even in Guo An's house, there are more than a dozen houses.

Zhu Di, Chen Shou and others each took two more.

As for Guo An, he was still a little concerned about the matter of flying the colorful flags outside, and directly refused with righteous words on his face.

As a result, when the Goryeo dignitaries left, everyone looked at Guo An with a strange look.

Another two days later.

Feeling that the time is almost here, Guo An is ready to discuss with Zhu Di about doing business with Korea.

"Your Highness, there are more than 30 nobles in Korea who have expressed their closeness to His Highness, and there are even ten of them with profound backgrounds. After so many years, their families must have accumulated a lot of money. Should Your Highness consider doing business? "

"Commercial?"

Zhu Di was startled for a moment, and then his eyes sparkled.

In the past few days, he was really immersed in governing Korea, and he almost forgot his purpose of coming to Korea.

"What's Guo Qing's plan?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, I am going to send someone to privately inform those Korean dignitaries who are close to His Highness, and talk to them about this matter one by one!
Whatever goods they want to sell to my Ming Dynasty, they can be transported to Jianghua Port, loaded on the fleet of Yanwangfu, and our soldiers from Yanwangfu will transport them to Beipingfu for sale.

Then, whatever things they want from my Daming, they can also be transported by my fleet of King Yan's Mansion, and then sold to them one by one at Jianghua Port! "

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Let Guo Qing arrange this matter!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Guo An nodded in response.

He can finally get down to business!

After returning, he directly summoned all the thirty scholars he had brought.

"Everyone, the time has come to truly prove your talents to Your Highness!"

Hearing this, the thirty scholars couldn't help but be amazed. They have done so many important things in the past few days, and they were even recruited by His Royal Highness Yan Wangfu as the chief history secretary of Yan Wangfu.

Didn't they prove their talents to His Highness King Yan long ago?
Why do they now feel from Guo Changshi's words that what they did before seems to be the feeling of children playing house?
Shang Kezhou said: "I also ask Guo Changshi to show me!"

"When you were in the academy, every month you had to work as clerks in various yamen offices in Beiping Prefecture, as deputy stewards at Zhangjiawan Wharf, as deputy shopkeepers in various shops, and even to learn farming in the fields..."

Guo An grinned and said proudly: "These things are all our suggestions!"

Shang Kezhou, Chang Guoting and other scholars looked at Guo An in astonishment.

Guo An continued: "Now, all of you have joined the Chief History Department of Prince Yan's Mansion, all of you are from your own family.

You may not understand, why do we do that?

Let's tell you the truth now..."

"You are all born in poverty, even if you are allowed to take the imperial examination, or even become a Jinshi, what else can you do besides gaining a reputation?
Even if you become an official, how much salary can you receive every year?
To be an upright official, you will be squeezed out by those corrupt gentry officials... But what if you are a corrupt official?Searching for the fat and anointing of the people, to bully those poor people of your father's generation?Can your conscience survive?
Even, before he has been greedy for a few years, he will be caught by the court, his muscles will be pulled out, his bones will be pulled out, and his skin will be peeled. Why bother? "

Hearing this, the faces of all the scholars changed slightly.

They also know that it is difficult to be an official in Ming Dynasty.However, being an official is definitely better than being a commoner.

If it weren't for the poor family, they would all want to be gentlemen, live in seclusion at home, and be at ease!

Guo An continued: "Therefore, from the very beginning, we did not intend to train you into a scholar who only likes imperial examinations.

We want all of you to become a scholar with real talents, who can use their talents to serve the country at the top, and earn money to support their families at the bottom. "

"Just like now, your chance has come..."

Now, even Shang Kezhou and Chang Guoting's eyes lit up.

Before they came, each of them paid 20 taels of treasure bills, which was very satisfying.

However, after the attack on King Goryeo, everyone was given a reward of 100 taels of silver.

They couldn't earn so much money in the academy for three years.

And now, judging by Guo Changshi's tone, can they earn more this time?

Although they are not greedy for money, they are also children from poor families, and they are all lacking in money. If they can make more money in a 'reasonable' way, they are very willing.

A few scholars couldn't bear it anymore and asked excitedly.

"Dare to ask Guo Changshi, what opportunity is it?"

Guo An said: "Yan Wang's Mansion is in business with Korea!"

All the scholars couldn't help but widen their eyes, their faces full of astonishment.

"Guo Changshi, isn't Your Majesty not allowing me, Ming Dynasty, to do business with these foreign countries? Could it be that His Majesty King Yan obtained His Majesty's permission?"

"No license!"

Guo An shook his head slowly, and said: "But, don't you forget that King Gaoli has rebelled, and now King Gaoli is being captured by His Royal Highness King Yan.

As long as the [-] Koryo army led by Cui Ying, Li Chenggui and others return and surrender to His Royal Highness King Yan, it is not an exaggeration to call Koryo the Kingdom of Yan! "

Thinking of this, all the scholars suddenly understood, and their faces were full of excitement.

However, there are still a few scholars who are more sensible.

"Guo Changshi, when the students are governing the Koryo capital these days, they can still feel that some Koryo people and dignitaries, on the surface, submit to His Royal Highness King Yan, but they still harbor evil intentions in their hearts, and they are unwilling to truly submit to His Highness King Yan...

What if the [-] troops led by Cui Ying, Li Chenggui and others return?Under the combination of their inside and outside..."

"It's okay!"

Guo An smiled faintly, "There are some common people and dignitaries in Korea who are unwilling to submit to His Royal Highness King Yan.

However, how many people and dignitaries in Korea are close to His Royal Highness King Yan now? "

All the scholars couldn't help but their eyes lit up.

Guo An continued: "Besides, you can think about it, if His Royal Highness King Yan does business with those Goryeo dignitaries, even if Cui Ying and Li Chenggui want to continue to rebel and lead troops to attack Goryeo Wangjing? How many Goryeo dignitaries will there be?" Stand up and stop it?"

"hiss……"

Hearing this, Shang Kezhou, Chang Guoting and other scholars immediately understood Guo An's intentions, and their faces were filled with admiration.

In the past few days, they have a deep understanding of the relationship between these Korean dignitaries.

Benefits come first.

Although the in-law relationship among these Goryeo dignitaries is even more complicated, when their interests collide... Moreover, it seems that His Royal Highness King Yan and those commanding houses also have a few daughters of Goryeo dignitaries.

All in-laws?

"Guo Changshi is wise!"

Thinking about it, when all the scholars looked at Guo An, they couldn't help but admire him!
