Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 24 It's easy to take people, but hard to let them go!
On the side, Zhu Fu sensed Zhu Di's embarrassment. As Yan Wang Changshi, he wanted to solve his own prince's worries and problems!

Therefore, he stood up directly and cupped his hands at Zhu Di, "Your Highness, since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, the Wanping County Yamen must be in chaos because of the Guo Zhi County incident.

If not, let Guo Zhixian go back to appease all the officials in Wanping County Yamen? "

Zhu Di nodded again and again, "Yes, yes!"

After speaking, he said to Guo An: "So, go back quickly, so that your family and the officials in the county government don't worry!"

Guo An shouted loudly: "I will not go back!"

"Uh-huh?……"

Zhu Di was startled suddenly, and looked at Guo An full of surprise.

"Why don't you go back?"

Guo An suddenly seemed to be wronged by the heavens, and cried directly: "Your Highness, your Highness sent someone to bring you to the Palace of Yan Palace so unclearly, if you go back so unclearly, wouldn't your official be changed?" Are you confused?"

She was so strong just now, but this meeting is such a rascal...

The corners of Zhu Di's eyes twitched slightly, and he said helplessly, "What do you want me to do?"

Guo An instantly looked at Zhu Di expectantly, "I implore Your Highness to give an order that everyone in the hall, no matter when they arrive, must not spread the news that the official was gagged by jersey just now!"

Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief, and said directly: "Yes!"

Li Wang, Zhu Liang and the others nodded in succession.

Guo An continued: "Besides, the lower officials can't suffer this injustice for nothing!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di looked at Guo An in surprise, "Do you want me to apologize to you, or to compensate you?"

Guo An smiled embarrassedly, "Your Highness, I am not so hypocritical!"

Zhu Di was a little puzzled, "Then what do you want me to do?"

Heh heh, it's easier to invite God than to send God away!
Guo An hummed softly in his heart, and saluted Zhu Di respectfully, "Reporting to Your Highness, I was planning to spend a few days as an official, and brought all the food chiefs and village chiefs under my command to find Your Highness, help me Tens of thousands of people in Wanping County solved the difficulty of reclaiming wasteland.

Unexpectedly, before the subordinate officials brought all the grain chiefs and village chiefs to see His Highness, His Highness sent someone to arrest him.

Such a great opportunity, how dare I miss it? "

Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes widened and he looked anxious.

"Damn it, you rogue little official, are you relying on me?"

Guo Andao: "Your Highness, forgive me, I have no choice but to, I have tens of thousands of people in Wanping County, it is really too hard!"

On the side, Ning Daguang and Lu Yan waited for the old man to knelt down with miserable faces and kowtowed to Zhu Di again and again.

"Your Highness, please take pity on the tens of thousands of people in Wanping County. In order to reclaim [-] hectares of land before the food is exhausted, you get up every day before dawn and go to the wilderness to reclaim the fields. It's too dark to see. , just go back!"

"Your Highness, it's really hard for us. In just these few days, several pieces of iron shovels, iron catalpas, and shovels in our homes have been damaged!"

"Your Highness, in order to reclaim wasteland, we really put all our belongings into it..."

On the side, Zhu Di, Zhu Fu, Dao Yan and the others had strange expressions on their faces.

These words are inexplicably familiar!
After a long while, Zhu Di's expression became angry, "Damn it, you complained the same to those merchants on the street, right?"

Guo An: "..."

"Your Highness is wise, it is true!" Li Wang and Zhu Liang hurriedly bowed their hands together.

Hearing this, Ning Daguang and Lu Yan waited for the old man's face to change slightly, then hurriedly lowered their heads, their voices were even more miserable, and tears flowed from their eyes.

"Your Majesty, it is clear that you have not lied to Your Majesty. We are really short of agricultural tools to reclaim the wasteland, and we are also short of food. Moreover, these words of ours did not deceive those merchants..."

Zhu Di took a deep breath and said angrily, "Hmph, there are more than 1 households in Wanping County, and they need tens of thousands of iron tools such as iron shovels and shovels.

How can there be so many catties of pig iron in this palace?Moreover, to make so many iron tools, at least hundreds of blacksmiths are needed. Where can I recruit so many blacksmiths? "

Guo An was overjoyed, and quickly said: "His Highness, you can buy pig iron from those merchants, and you can also recruit my craftsmen from Wanping County to go to the iron mine in Shangzhuang Village not far away to mine iron ore for a month!
In this way, it also replaced the corvee and gangsters of the people in Wanping County this year.

In addition, no matter how much iron ore the craftsmen in Wanping County have reclaimed in the iron mines of Shangzhuang Village, they will only borrow [-] catties of pig iron from His Highness to forge farm tools such as iron shovels and shovels!
As for the summer tax, it was decided by the imperial court.

In the end, if it is really necessary, the people in Wanping County can only sell the reclaimed land for one or two acres!

Alas, no matter what happens, in the end, all the sufferings still need to be borne by the people who work the hardest all day..."

Zhu Di's eyes gradually widened, and finally he flew into a rage, "Guo An, who fell into your mother, came to fool the king again, there are only a few blacksmiths in Erwanping County.

Even if all the blacksmiths are sent to work on the iron mine in Shangzhuang Village for a month, how many catties of pig iron can be forged?
You bandit officer has a wishful thinking, just relying on a few blacksmiths, you want to replace the corvee and helpers of the entire Wanping County people this year?

Want to cheat another [-] catties of pig iron? "

"[-] catties of pig iron, do you know that if all of them are forged into military swords and guns, at least [-] troops can be equipped!"

"Also, do you know how iron-deficient Daming is now? If my lord lends you [-] catties of pig iron to make farm tools, and if the emperor knows about it, how much scolding will this lord receive?
All the generals in the imperial court know, how much trouble will this king have? "

"You don't think [-] catties of pig iron is enough, and you want to cheat the summer tax from the people of the entire Wanping County from this king. You, a thief magistrate with a dark heart, are not afraid of being arrested by Jin Yiwei and sent to prison. ?”

"Forgive me, Your Highness. I'm just a small magistrate of Wanping County. How dare you deceive Your Highness?"

Guo An looked indifferent, and his tone was indifferent, "It's just that the reclamation of wasteland is a government order issued by His Highness. The corvee, gangsters, and summer taxes are all compulsory for the people of Wanping County to serve and pay!

People in Wanping County are desperately trying to reclaim wasteland, but they don't have any farm tools in their hands.

As the magistrate of Wanping County, Xiaguan can't just watch the people under his rule end up exhausted and starved to death!

This matter is just the best method that the lower officials can come up with. If His Highness can just watch the people in his own country die from exhaustion and starvation, the lower officials can't do anything! "

"I implore Your Highness to save me..."

Ning Daguang, Lu Yanxian and the others also quickly knelt down, pleading.

Zhu Di's eyes widened, and he smiled angrily, "Damn it, you thief officer can really embarrass me!"

"Your Highness, whether it's pig iron, corvees and gangsters, or even summer taxes, the people of Wanping County can borrow them!"

Guo An raised his head and said loudly: "As long as the people in Wanping County have land, they can pay back with grain in just two years! In Beiping Prefecture, grain is the most valuable thing!"

"Your Highness, the people of Wanping County are His Majesty's people, the people of the Ming Dynasty, but as the King of Yan, you only have the people of Beiping Mansion!"

"The people of this king..."

Zhu Di's expression changed for a moment, and finally his face became ruthless!
"My king borrowed it, and I will borrow it for you! But, you have to write an IOU!"

"Thank you Your Highness..."

"Damn it..."
