Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 298

"Guo Qing, we don't have much money in the Palace of Yan now!"

Zhu Di said with a straight face.

Guo An smiled slowly, and spread out all five fingers of his right hand, "Your Highness, although the palace has indeed spent a lot of money in recent years.

However, you have conquered Mobei several times, and you have seized countless property. The humble minister may not be able to calculate or estimate the money.

However, just based on the major shops under our Yanwang Mansion, as well as the property of Korea and Japan, there should be this number. "

"no!"

Zhu Di simply shook his head, his eyes full of vigilance.

"Guo Qing, although our Yan Palace does earn a lot of money, there are more places to spend it."

"Okay, then Wei Chen guessed wrong!"

Guo An sighed helplessly, and said: "Your Highness, I just think that every year the canal will be frozen for several months in the cold winter, and large ships are not feasible.

In these few months, it will not only affect the control of my Yanwang Mansion over Koryo and Japanese pirates.

It even affected the business between my Beiping Mansion and those merchants in the south.

And if such a cement road is built, it will be much better.

The fleet at Zhangjiawan Wharf does not need to rest in the cold winter, and can go directly to Dagu Port to pull goods. Within a few years, the money spent on building the cement road can be earned back! "

"Can you really earn it back?"

Zhu Di's expression was a little loose.

He naturally knew that Guo An seemed to lose money every time he spent money, but in the end, he would not lose money.

However, this time, the direct paving of a nearly [-]-kilometer concrete avenue cost the most money.

"It's natural!"

Guo An nodded affirmatively.

Zhu Di said again: "However, how much labor is required for such a long cement road?"

Guo An smiled faintly, "Your Highness, now my Yan Palace controls Korea and Japan. How much labor does Your Highness want? Isn't it just a matter of a word?"

"Gorino and Japanese slaves?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes lit up.

"If that's the case, then according to Guo Qing, build a concrete avenue!"

Guo An said: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhu Di asked again: "Guo Qing, how is the situation of the Wa Kingdom?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, I have captured more than 500 Japanese slaves and are digging silver mines. Now, nearly 30 taels of silver should be mined every month.

In addition, Weichen also asked those craftsmen to search around the silver mine, preparing to dig out a few more mine openings.

However, because the coal in the Wa country is far away from the silver mines, a large number of slaves are needed to transport the coal, and it is difficult to increase the output of smelting silver..."

"I, Yanshan Guard, are in the Wa Kingdom. After all, there are only 1 horses. Even with the [-] Korean army, I dare not occupy the capital of the Wa Kingdom. I can only guard near the silver mine!"

"With the two Japanese kings in hand, and the entire royal family of the Japanese country, I built a city of Yan not far from the silver mine.

The two Japanese kings issued an edict to the outside world, asking the big landlords and powerful families of the Japanese country to pay taxes to Yancheng every year!

If there are Japanese who refuse to hand over, directly lead troops to attack them!
Many big landlords and dignitaries of the Japanese kingdom dare not disobey! "

"Guo Qing has worked hard!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the Japanese are all low-spirited.

As long as the Weichen is ten years old, the Weichen will survive those Japanese dignitaries and old Japanese people.

The newly grown-up Japanese people, under the deliberate training of my ministers, will definitely regard me, Daming, as their great father.

My Prince Yan's Mansion can occupy the capital of the Wa Kingdom in a fair and honest manner, and even drive those Koreans back to Korea..."

"ten years?"

Zhu Di was immediately surprised.

"Guo Qing, are you going to stay in Japan for ten years?"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Your Highness is wise!"

Zhu Di frowned, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you have to stay for so long?"

Guo An replied: "Your Highness, because the pirates are capricious, they need my Yan Palace to suppress them all the time."

Zhu Di said solemnly: "This king wants to hear the truth!"

Only then did Guo An reply: "Your Highness, calm down, I just feel that my Palace of Yan's palace has been too sharp in recent years."

Zhu Di said bitterly: "Yes, there are many people in this world who can't see my good Yan Wangfu!"

"Ok?"

Guo An was taken aback, "May I ask Your Highness, what happened?"

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "In the past few days, the entire Beiping Mansion has been spreading rumors that our Yanwang Mansion has suffered heavy losses in attacking the Japanese Kingdom, and the Yanshan Guards have suffered countless casualties!"

"Really?"

On the contrary, Guo An looked happy, "Your Highness, those people are so fast?"

Zhu Di looked at Guo An blankly.

Guo An still said to himself: "His Royal Highness, did anyone say that because my Yan Palace dug the grave of the Huailiang old thief, it made those Japanese furious?
Or, it was Wei Chen who led troops to conquer the capital of the Japanese people and robbed a lot of property, which caused countless deaths and injuries to Yanshan Guard?
Or, Yan Shanwei encountered a strong wind in the waters of the Wa Kingdom..."

Zhu Di said: "Guo Qing, why are you so self-defiled?"

Guo An looked at Zhu Di, and said seriously: "Your Highness, if His Majesty has not officially issued an order to allow my Yan Palace to raise troops to attack overseas vassal states, then Your Highness can only make a fortune in silence!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Let's go back and give the emperor father a memorial!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

……

then.

A few days later, several rumors circulated again in Beiping Mansion.

When Yanshanwei attacked the Japanese country, it was hit by a strong wind, and the fleet was seriously damaged!

In addition, Yanshan Guard suffered heavy casualties in the Japanese country, and it was also because Yanshan Guard dug the grave of Prince Huailiang of the Japanese
Everyone accepts this reason.

The Japanese were already poor, and they all came all the way to Daming to rob.

In the end, you, King Yan, directly sent someone to dig up his ancestor's grave, and even robbed him of his money. It's no wonder that Japanese didn't fight for you!

Of course, although some people still feel that there is something strange about this matter.

However, all officials and gentry in Ming Dynasty believed in this reason.

Those who did not believe also gradually believed.

Capital.

Inside Fengtian Temple.

After listening to Erhu's report, Zhu Yuanzhang looked gloomy.

"Where is Jiang Yu?"

half an hour.

The commander of Jin Yiwei made Jiang Yu hurried in.

"Wei Chen sees His Majesty!"

"Yanshan Guard suffered heavy casualties in Japan, what news do you, Jin Yi Guard, have about this?"

Jiang Yu hurriedly replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, although everyone is talking about this matter. However, Jin Yiwei was in Beiping Mansion, and did not see any military households belonging to Yanshanwei hanging white silk, nor did they see any military households Lixin. grave!"

A strange look flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and then he said: "Okay, we know, you can go down.

Don't tell anyone about this. "

"The minister obeys the order!"

Jiang Yu hurriedly backed out.

After leaving the main hall, Jiang Yu didn't stop for a moment, and hurriedly walked to the Jinyi Weiwei.

Jin Yiwei couldn't get involved in this matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhao Hu who was at the side again, and asked, "Er Hu, where is the prince today? Why didn't the prince come to look for us when Zhu Di made such a big commotion?"

"Forgive me, Your Majesty. I don't know where His Royal Highness is today, so I will send someone to inquire."

"Ok!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and then began to approve the memorial.

As for the two tigers, they quickly retreated.

Soon, he hurried back to the hall again.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to look for His Royal Highness King Qin today!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, "Why is the prince looking for that evil Zhu Xi?"

Erhu bowed his head, not daring to answer.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask again, which made Erhu heave a sigh of relief.

but.

Wait until an hour later.

Prince Zhu Biao walked in panting.

"Father, my son heard that the fourth Yanshan Guard was defeated in the Japanese Kingdom, with heavy casualties. Guo An fled back to Daming with the remaining Yanshan Guards!"

In the hall, both Zhu Yuanzhang and the two tigers couldn't help but look surprised.

"Biao'er, the fourth brother could have dug the grave of that old Huailiang thief, robbed dozens of boats of property, used hundreds of carriages, and traveled to thousands of Yanshan Guards. Gukou transported to the city of Beiping, how could it be a big defeat?

Also, who said that Guo An escaped? "

"It's good if you don't lose a lot!"

Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief, "Father, those people outside are spreading such rumors, which startled the child."

Zhu Yuanzhang comforted: "Don't worry, Biaoer, how could the fourth Yanshan Guard be defeated by those Japanese!"

Zhu Biao nodded slowly, "That's what Dad said, but now the whole capital is spreading these words, it's very weird!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "Some people can't see the words of the old fourth Yan's palace, and the fourth one just has the intention of hiding his clumsiness!"

"Hidden clumsy?"

Zhu Biao frowned slightly, "Attacking the Wa Kingdom, no one in my Ming Dynasty would like it, what is the fourth brother worried about?"

"is it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a faint smile.

A trace of suspicion flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes, "What does the emperor mean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a sneer: "Then why is it that the old four's mansion just spread a word casually, and those people outside are happily spreading it?"

"This……"

Zhu Biao was startled, and he couldn't believe it, "Father, you mean that those rumors outside came from Lao Si's house... Those who have been spreading such rumors all want to see Lao Si's defeat?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled self-deprecatingly, "Biaoer, don't look at those people outside in front of you, they are all loyal ministers who care about the country and the people.

However, people have ulterior motives, and they have their own calculations all day long. "

"father……"

Zhu Biao wants to say something.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay attention, but continued to say: "Those civil servants did one thing in front of you, and another behind your back.

And those military generals followed us to conquer the world one by one, so they want to be called princes, want to oppress the people, and try their best to collect money for their houses!

They even look down on us, thinking that we are just a cowherd boy, and now that we are the emperor, we are still a cowherd boy..."

On the side, Erhu's pupils constricted, wishing to plug his ears tightly with donkey hair.

As for Zhu Biao, his complexion also changed drastically.

"Father, there are still generals and civil servants who are loyal to you."

"Humph!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered again, "Aside from our own family, who else would be sincerely loyal to our Daming?"

"Now, even the idiot of the second child, after taking over Xi'an, he forgets everything, indulges in pleasure all day long, exploits and oppresses the people!"

Zhu Biao hurriedly saluted, "Father, my son just came back from the second child. Since the second child was summoned to the capital by the father, the second child has been terrified and remorseful all day long!"

"Okay, don't plead for that evil obstacle!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand casually, then picked out a memorial from the side, and handed it to Zhu Biao.

"Biao'er, this is the memorial handed over by the fourth child, take a closer look!"

"The fourth son's memorial?"

Hearing this, a trace of curiosity flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes.

Immediately, he opened it and looked at it.

After reading it, a strange color flashed in Zhu Biao's eyes.

"Father, the fourth child wants you to make an order to allow him to attack those vassal kingdoms in a legitimate manner?"
