Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 265
According to this calculation, there are a total of 8000 people in the Yan Kingdom of Korea.

Moreover, many Koreans want to move to Yan every day.

There were even several nobles from Korea who voluntarily became citizens of Yan.

Guo An naturally welcomes this.

a few days later.

Guo An was a little bored.

Then Yu Wending and Kang Shanxin and other Korean nobles were summoned to the palace.

"The villain sees Guo Changshi!"

Goryeo nobles such as Yu Wending and Kang Shanxin were very cautious and humble.

"You don't need to be so nervous!"

Guo An showed a smile that he thought was very gentle, which made Kang Shanxin and the others shudder.

"We heard that you seem to be jointly mining gold and silver mines?"

Hearing this, Kang Shanxin, Yu Wending and the others changed their expressions greatly, their bodies tensed up, and hurriedly said: "Back to Guo Changshi, those gold mines and silver mines are all mines passed down by villains and other ancestors.

After so many years of mining, it has long been barren..."

"You don't need to worry!"

Guo An chuckled lightly and said, "We don't have the idea of ​​being a bandit, but just want to inform you.

Since there are gold and silver mines, they should be exploited as soon as possible, and there is no need to work hard to cover them up.

Daming has a vast land and rich resources, and there are no good things, just a few gold mines and silver mines, which are not in the eyes of my Yan Palace.

In the future, my Ming Dynasty will have more and more good things, and everyone's money will also increase..."

Kang Shanxin, Yu Wending and other Korean nobles breathed a sigh of relief, then rolled their eyes and started crying.

"Guo Changshi Mingjian, although we have a barren gold and silver mine, we can only dig out a little gold and silver every month.

After more than half a year, my family has no more belongings, I wonder if the price of Daming's goods can be cheaper..."

Guo An was taken aback for a moment, and then he went up and down to carefully look at the Korean nobles Kang Shanxin and Yu Wending.

"Wait, are you treating me as Chang Guoting and Jin Zhong, those idiots?"

On the side, Jin Zhong and Chang Guoting's expressions froze.

Kang Shanxin, Yu Wending and the others also changed their expressions slightly.

"Is it possible that you are using all the goods that you have bought through business with my Prince Yan's Mansion?
Isn't it resold to other Korean nobles or wealthy businessmen at a very high price? "

Guo An looked disappointed, "If that's the case, then I have to consider whether to involve those Korean nobles who have always wanted to cooperate with my Yan Palace."

Kang Shanxin, Yu Wending and the others couldn't hold back any longer, they looked terrified, "Guo Changshi calm down, Guo Changshi calm down, just keep the original price."

"Humph!"

Guo An snorted coldly, "In terms of business, Daming is the ancestor of Koreans like you, don't play tricks.

All right, let's all go down. "

"The villain retire!"

As they left, Jin Zhong and Chang Guoting couldn't help blushing.

Guo An clicked his tongue and smiled, "The merchants are cunning, and these Korean nobles are even more cunning. You should pay special attention in the future."

"Please punish Guo Changshi!"

Chang Guoting responded quickly.

"No need for this!"

Guo An smiled faintly, "Those Korean nobles lied to your feelings, and they didn't fool us. What should we punish?"

Jin Zhong and Chang Guoting were stunned for a moment, and then they looked annoyed.

"okay!"

Guo An waved his hand and said, "You and the others have been in Korea for several months.

Now that the situation in Korea has stabilized, if you want to go back to Beiping Mansion, you can go back with us.

Stay for a month, wait until the next fleet, and then return to Korea! "

"Thank you Guo Changshi!"

Jin Zhong, Chang Guoting and the others were overjoyed.

"There's no need for that."

Guo An smiled and said: "Nowadays, there are four chief and deputy chief officials in every government office.

In the future, the four of you and others will go back to Peiping with the fleet every four months to visit relatives. "

"Guo Changshi is so sympathetic to Xiaguan and others, Xiaguan and others are very grateful!"

Jin Zhong, Chang Guoting and the others expressed gratitude.

"Guo Changshi, great joy!"

At this time, Yan Xiangwu, who had just returned to Korea from Beiping Mansion with the fleet, walked in from the outside with a look of excitement.

"What's the big deal?" Guo An asked.

"Guo Changshi, Huang Boqian, the candidate of our Beiping Mansion, won the Huiyuan! In addition, Zheng Fan, Cai Ting and other candidates have all been admitted to Jinshi!"

"Huang Boqian won the Hui Yuan?"

"They all passed the Jinshi exam?"

Guo An, Chang Guoting and the others were suddenly surprised.

Afterwards, Chang Guoting and the others couldn't help but see a gleam of gloom flashing in their eyes.

Seeing this, Guo An chuckled and said, "Are you unwilling?"

"Guo Changshi, that's a Jinshi!"

Several people in Chang Guoting sighed softly, which scholar doesn't want to get the title of Jinshi?

Guo An asked: "What happens after being admitted to Jinshi?"

Chang Guoting said: "The title of the gold list, the glory of the ancestors!"

Immediately, he quickly explained: "Guo Changshi shouldn't misunderstand, I just enviously glanced at it, and didn't have any regrets!"

"It's okay!"

Guo An nodded lightly, "It's useless for you to regret after becoming an official of Prince Yan's Mansion."

Chang Guoting: "..."

Guo An chuckled and said, "You can't have both.

Even if he became the number one scholar, he was only rewarded with some money and was awarded a sixth-rank official.

Or, he was valued by some big gentry and merchants and recruited as his son-in-law. "

"And then? Maybe you can grow up to be a chief envoy, an envoy, or even become a senior official such as a scholar, six ministers...

However, you ask yourself, do you have such talent to become a first-class Jinshi?
Or, can your family have a background that allows you to go further? "

Chang Guoting subconsciously shook his head.

Guo An said again: "As for ordinary Jinshi..."

"How much money can you make in a year? How much do you earn now? Moreover, you are all in Koryo Yanguo, and you are all talkative, controlling the lives and deaths of thousands of Koryo people.

The most important thing is that you can always make money, and you are not afraid of being implicated by your boss or subordinates..."

Hearing this, Chang Guoting and the others trembled subconsciously.

After a few reminders, Guo An didn't dare to continue, "Okay, wait a while and prepare well. The results of the palace examination are also out now, I hope Huang Boqian can win the exam and get into the first class..."

"Yes, Guo Changshi!"

Chang Guoting and the others quickly responded and walked down quickly.

……

Five days later.

The fleet sets sail.

Kang Shanxin, Yu Wending and other Korean nobles stood together at the harbor pier, watching Guo An go away, with tears in their eyes, and finally sent the evil star away.

This time around, the weather was much warmer.

Guo An didn't stay in the cabin all the time, but came out for a walk from time to time, which made him feel much more comfortable.

After half a month.

The fleet sailed directly into Dagukou.

Two days later, they arrived at Zhangjiawan Wharf.

After only going out for more than two months, Guo An found that the Zhangjiawan Wharf was much more prosperous.

The most obvious thing is that near the Zhangjiawan Wharf, there are dozens more houses made of bricks, stones and cement.

Even beside the concrete road leading from Zhangjiawan Wharf to Beiping City, rows of houses were sparsely built.

Peking Mansion has been developing.

……

"Huang Boqian is the No. [-]? Zheng Fan is Tanhua?"

After returning to the house, Father Guo and Liu Huiyuan hadn't left yet.

"That's right, who would have thought that Huang Boqian and Zheng Fan, who are ordinary in talent, would be able to make their names in the Golden Palace, winning first place in the first place!
This time, Ning Yi made great contributions to my Northern Shilin. "

As he spoke, Liu Huiyuan looked at Guo An with burning eyes.

"Ning Yi, the students in the academy can't let go now, do you want to expand the academy?"

Guo An was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "May I ask Mr. Yuezhang, can he enter the academy to teach students?"

"This……"

Liu Huiyuan couldn't help but hesitate.

Guo An asked again: "I don't know if the dozen or so great Confucian scholars can stay in the academy and teach students?"

Liu Huiyuan shook his head again, "Ning Yi, more than half of those great Confucians have their own families, so they probably won't stay in the academy forever."

Guo An sighed slightly, and said: "Yue Zhang, there are already enough students in the academy, if we expand the academy, there will not be enough masters."

"Ugh!"

Liu Huiyuan couldn't help but sigh.

Guo An comforted him and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law. It's too late for anything to go too far. The tree attracts wind. His Royal Highness King Yan is just a vassal. The size of the academy at this time is just right. If it is bigger, it may cause unreasonable disasters!"

"..."

Hearing this, both Liu Huiyuan and Father Guo couldn't help but concentrate.

"What Ning Yi said is reasonable. King Yan is just a vassal king, who controls tens of thousands of elite troops in Beiping Mansion. If there are too many civil servants, it will be a bit difficult not to attract suspicion!"

"In this way, Ning Yi needs to control the number of places in the academy!"

Guo An smiled slowly, and said: "Father, my lord, the students of the academy need to be divided into three groups.

A group of humble, but talented students.

A group of students from related households need to spend money if they want to come in.

The other group is students from Beiping Prefecture. As long as they meet the academy's recruitment principles, these students can all enter the academy! "

Liu Huiyuan nodded slightly, and said: "Ning Yi, don't let any southern students in!"

"Don't worry, father-in-law, that monk Daoyan will definitely control this matter!"

"Daoyan?"

Hearing this, both Liu Huiyuan and Father Guo couldn't help but a trace of worry flashed in their eyes.

"Ning Yi, I heard that Daoyan is from Changzhou? And he has a close relationship with Lin Daru, a great scholar in the south.

Even, in the past few days, some scholars from the south went to look for Guo Daoyan! "

"Is there still this?"

Hearing this, Guo An couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and then smiled lightly: "Father, father-in-law, you two don't worry, that Daoyan is a smart person, and he will never tell the southern scholars about it."

Liu Huiyuan was still a little worried, with a cold light in his eyes, "Ning Yi, the matter of the small class is related to the rise of scholars in northern China. If you are not sure, I will make that Dao Yan never speak about the matter of the small class again." ..."

Guo An was shocked, and quickly said: "Yue Zhang, absolutely not. That Daoyan is a monk bestowed by His Majesty today. He is closely related to the leaders of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in Ming Dynasty, and he is also deeply trusted by His Royal Highness King Yan. He must not come out. any surprises.

Otherwise, His Highness will definitely be furious, and His Majesty will also send people to investigate..."

Liu Huiyuan said: "Ning Yi, don't worry, no one will notice!"

"That's not allowed!"

Guo An hurriedly said: "Yue Zhang, there's no need to do this. Even if the small class is exposed, my northern candidate is just a fair competition with the southern candidate.

There is no need to risk the lives of several big families and tens of thousands of people..."

Liu Huiyuan said: "Then please ask Ning Yi to have a good talk with that Daoyan!"

Guo An quickly said: "Don't worry, Father-in-law, I will go to Dao Yan tomorrow!"

"good!"

……

Watching Liu Huiyuan and Father Guo go out slowly, Guo An couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

These aristocratic families are really crazy, is Dao Yan so easy to kill?

Moreover, isn't it just a matter of introversion?
Is it worth shouting and shouting?
Then, with a helpless smile, he got up, teased Guo Han and Guo Shen, and left.
