Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 229
As for the so much money in the mansion, the old housekeeper Guo Lin has been envious for a long time.

With Guo An's words, the old butler quickly started to act.

With the prosperity of the Zhangjiawan Wharf, many refugees from the disaster in the south came to Beiping Mansion to seek a living.

Moreover, these days, in Beiping Mansion and Wanping County, they can serve as a nursing home for Guo Changshi.

For those young and strong, it is a kind of honor.

Even being a tenant farmer to Guo Changshi, the common people are vying for many things.

So, less than a few days.

There were ten more nursing homes in the Guo Mansion.

As for the fields under the name of the Guo family, there are more than 3000 mu more, all purchased at a premium.

The money in the Guo family's mansion was finally reduced by more than half.

at the same time.

Finally, under Zhu Di's repeated urging, Guo An began to go to the palace to be on duty.

A few days ago, I first looked at the account books.

Furthermore, it is to go to the farm, or each workshop, to inspect one by one.

During this period, Guo An was so busy that he didn't bother to look for Zhu Di.

As for Lan Yu's slander to the prince, Guo An didn't inquire a word, as if nothing happened.

Regarding this, Zhu Di was full of emotion in his heart.

Guo Qing is indeed Huai Jin's generation.

But he didn't know that Guo An knew clearly about the future of him, the King of Yan, or the prince Zhu Biao, or even Lan Yu and others, and he didn't have any curiosity at all.

Of course, in Guo An's eyes, the workshops, academies, farms, and Zhangjiawan Wharf in Yanwang Mansion are more important than sapphire.

As for the gunpowder workshop, let Tao Yiping and Yang Ting study how to make better firearms, and let him teach the students of the artisan school.

These are all the future craftsmen of King Yan's Mansion.

Let's take a closer look to see if anyone is embarrassing these craftsmen's workshops.

However, fortunately, in the past two years, Yan Wangfu's money has been very rich.Even if these artisan workshops are gold-swallowing monsters, no one dares to embarrass these workshops.

As for the academy.

When Guo An followed Zhu Di to conquer Goryeo, there were a few more rows of houses behind the academy.

Although the geographical location is not as good as those in front of the house, the space is larger and the layout is more exquisite.

Therefore, the selling price is 100 taels more expensive than the previous houses.

In the academy, there are dozens of students from poor families.

As for the Zhangjiawan Wharf, it has been expanded again.

Now, there are hundreds of merchants who come in and out of Zhangjiawan Wharf every day, which is already more prosperous than Tongzhou City.

Of course, what pleased Guo An the most was the rice on the farm.

In the [-]-acre field, the rice grains are full of grains, which are obviously larger than the rice in the nearby fields.

After staring at it for a long time, Guo An looked happy, "Congratulations brothers, the rice improvement is successful!"

On the side, Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi, whose faces were already purple and black, were also grinning and their eyes were full of smiles.

"Thanks to Ning Yi for this matter, I never thought that the rice could be improved like this!
Moreover, it can be planted..."

"There are rules in everything."

Guo An continued to praise: "However, with this hundred acres of rice, the reputation of the brothers can surpass that of the ancestors!"

Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi were shocked and waved their hands again and again.

"Ning Yi was joking, what a great talent Guo Taishi is, how dare we compare with Guo Taishi?"

"Food is paramount to man!"

Guo An said with a serious face, "This paddy field must be [-]% more productive than the paddy field next to it. Who in the world can compare to this kind of great achievement?

Brothers, don't be humble..."

"ah……"

Suddenly, Ding Shang, the farm steward who had been standing aside with a smirk on his face, stared and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

In Guo An's hands, there are already two ears of rice.

"Guo Changshi, why are you doing this?"

Ding Shang felt distressed all over his face.

If someone else dared to spoil such a good rice, Ding Shang could not help but break that person's hand.

You know, since the paddy was planted, he led people to guard it day and night, weeding, digging, watering, even if there was a bird flying over the sky, he would lead people to shoot it down.

However, now Guo An actually grabbed the rice in front of him.

Ding Shang could only stare anxiously!
Guo An smiled slowly and said, "Old General Ding, don't worry, this piece of rice has turned yellow and is ready to be harvested.

For such a great achievement, I will take this rice back and dedicate it to His Highness! "

"Dedicated to His Highness?"

Ding Shang was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of excitement. He had never thought about this before.

"It should be dedicated to His Highness, it should be dedicated to His Highness..."

On the side, Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi were also happy.

Guo An asked again: "Brothers, how is the orchard this year?"

Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi immediately said with excitement on their faces: "Ning Yi, we have grafted apricots the size of a child's fist, sweet and sour... Also, big and sweet peaches... and plums ..."

The more Guo An listened, the happier his face became.

"Please also ask some brothers to take me to have a look. I will also take these good things back for His Highness to taste!"

"it is good!"

Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi led Guo An to the other side,
Ding Shang said cautiously, "Guo Changshi, once these peaches and apricots are ripe, I will pick them and send them to the palace!"

"Really?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Guo An's eyes, "Why haven't I seen it before?"

Ding Shang couldn't help but get a little weird.

Guo An continued: "This time, I will definitely pick some more!"

However, Guo An was disappointed.

In a hundred-acre orchard, there are still half-sized trees.

There are at most ten peaches, apricots, and plums hanging on each tree!
"Ning Yi, how many abstracts do you have?"

Guo Bingyong turned his head and asked.

Guo An was not polite, "A basket!"

"it is good!"

Guo Bingyong did not hesitate, and directly picked it up with Guo Zhi and others.

As for Guo An, he looked up to find a few golden apricots and plums, then wiped them on his clothes a few times before eating them.

His eyes were full of satisfaction.

"This time the taste is right..."

"Ok?"

On the side, Guo Zhi, who was passing by, looked at Guo An with some doubts.

"What doubts does Ning Yi have?"

Guo An quickly said, "No, no..."

Guo Zhi nodded slightly, ignored Guo An, and went to search for good-looking peaches and plums again!
……

After coming out of the farm.

In Guo Erniu's hands, there are already a basketful of peaches, plums, and apricots!

On the basket, there are still two ears of rice.

While walking, Guo Erniu was still muttering.

"Master, why do I feel that you don't seem to be offering it to His Highness, but you want to eat it yourself?"

Guo An glared at Guo Erniu with contempt on his face, "You don't want to eat? Just now in the fruit forest, did you eat less than me?"

"hey-hey……"

Guo Erniu couldn't help but smiled, and couldn't help looking at the basket in his hand again.

"Master, this is the first time I have eaten such delicious peaches, plums and apricots!"

Guo An said: "Don't worry, after we go back, let Lin Bo buy another ten mu of orchard and plant these fruit trees.

Next year at the most, Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi's skills will mature, and if Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi teach two fruit farmers to our Guo Mansion, our Guo Mansion will also have our own orchard! "

"Master is wise!"

Guo Erniu complimented him sincerely.

Guo An smiled slightly, he couldn't keep pulling Zhu Di's wool all the time!
In Yanwang Palace.

Following Guo An and Guo Erniu, he walked in with a basket of fruit with two ears of rice stuck in it.

become the focus of everyone.

"Guo Changshi, why did you bring a gift? Could it be that His Royal Highness King Yan has some happy event?"

Although he was asking for advice, Zhu Liang kept staring at the basket in Guo Erniu's hands, his eyes shining brightly.

Guo Erniu quickly hid the basket behind his back.

Only then did Zhu Liang look at Guo An with regretful eyes.

"A great joy!"

Guo An said slowly.

"Really?"

Zhu Liang's face brightened, and then he asked with some doubts: "Why doesn't the general know?"

"Don't say you don't know, even His Highness himself doesn't know!"

Guo An smiled lightly and walked in.

Zhu Liang couldn't help being dazed for a while, and then hurried to follow, he became even more curious.

"Congratulations Your Highness!"

After saluting to Zhu Di, Guo An congratulated Zhu Di.

"Oh?"

Zhu Di looked puzzled, "Guo Qing hasn't seen you for a long time, why did you congratulate us as soon as you came? I don't know why we are so happy?"

"Please look at this, Your Highness!"

Guo An took out the ears of rice in the basket and shook them in his hands.

"Rice ears?"

After Zhu Di pondered for a moment, his face brightened, "Is the rice ready for harvest?"

"Exactly!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

An anxious look flashed in Guo Erniu's eyes, he knew what kind of happy event his master had come to announce to King Yan!

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and said indifferently: "So, then I will order the farmers in the Zhuangzi in the mansion to start picking the harvestable rice and start harvesting!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Guo An nodded in response.

However, Zhu Liang on the side was anxious.

"Guo Changshi, you just said a great thing, why is it that the rice can be harvested?"

Guo An asked: "The rice on the farm can be harvested, isn't that a good thing?"

"It's a good thing, but it's not a great thing..." Zhu Liang looked confused.

"Paddy from the farm?"

Above, Zhu Di suddenly remembered something, stood up abruptly, and grabbed the ears of rice in Guo An's hand.

After staring at it seriously for a while, he put it in his hand and gestured again, his face full of excitement.

"One inch longer than our palm, the grains are huge and full, good rice, good rice..."

"Guo Qing, are these ears of rice from the farm's rice field?"

"Your Highness is wise!"

"How many acres of this rice are planted?"

"There should be one hundred acres!"

"That's all?"

"Almost... Your Highness?"

As soon as Guo An finished speaking, Zhu Di turned around and walked out.

"Go, follow us to the farm!"

"This……"

Guo An was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed.

On the side, although Zhu Liang followed quickly, he still looked confused.

Isn't it just an ear of rice?

However, no one paid any attention to him.

Now, a wide and flat cement road has been built from the farm to Wanping County.

From King Yan's Mansion to the farm, the speed is much faster, and he no longer suffers.

then.

Ding Shang, Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi and others from the farm just returned to the house and haven't had a long rest.

Then I heard that Guo Changshi came down with His Royal Highness King Yan.

Several people were suddenly excited.

When they came out, Zhu Di had already walked into the paddy field, checking every ridge and ridge one by one.

As for Zhu Liang, he also understood what Guo An was talking about through the ordinary rice field next to him!
"This piece of rice grows so big?"
