Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 30 Wanping County Government Office

Yanwang Palace!
Inside a side hall.

Guo An stared blankly at Zhu Laosi in front of him, a little in disbelief.

"Your Highness, did those rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River really hand over all the [-] shi of grain to the Beiping chief envoy?"

Zhu Di smiled and said, "At this moment, the one hundred thousand shi of grain is being transported to the granary of the Beiping chief envoy. If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look!"

Guo An subconsciously yelled: "These rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are really dark-hearted. They would rather pay the food to the Beiping government chief envoy than sell it to us and other common people. They must be treacherous people!!

From now on, several of their trade names have been blacklisted in my Wanping County, so don't even think about doing business in my Wanping County! "

Zhu Di looked at Guo An with disdain, "You are a small Wanping County, what interesting things do you have that can make people come all the way to find you?"

Guo An looked confident, "Don't worry, Your Highness, within five years, Wanping County will definitely attract those wealthy businessmen from the south of the Yangtze River!"

Zhu Di didn't believe it, and looked contemptuous.

"This king doesn't want to listen to your nonsense. Now that the food is also under the control of the chief envoy, what are you going to do with the food of the people in Wanping County?"

However, after I finished speaking, I regretted it.

Sure enough, when he turned around, he found that Guo An was looking at him with a smile on his face!

"Your Highness, the tens of thousands of people in Wanping County are all your subjects!"

Zhu Di was furious, "You black-hearted magistrate, there are tens of thousands of people in Wanping County, how can I lend them so much food?"

Guo An didn't even look at Zhu Di's face, and lowered his head and said, "Your Highness, I don't care about this matter. Anyway, Your Highness promised that as long as the people of Wanping County If you reclaim two thousand hectares of land, you will lend me enough food for the people of Wanping County!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's face was darkened.

"However, His Highness doesn't have that much food for the time being, but the Chief Political Officer of Beiping has it! In the big case last time, the Chief Political Officer of Beiping should have confiscated a lot of food.

Plus now, those black-hearted wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River have paid another [-] shi of grain to the chief envoy of Beiping!

Now that there is no war in Beiping Mansion, so much food is still stored, and next year, or even the year after, it will become old food, some will become moldy, rotten, and may even enter the pockets of those corrupt officials. How about lending it to the people of Wanping County.

When the autumn harvest comes tomorrow, the people of Wanping County will not only give them back the new grain, but also pay back [-]% more!
Even if such a matter that benefits the country and the people is reported to the imperial court, His Majesty will readily agree to it! "

Zhu Di smiled faintly, "Then you have to ask the Beiping chief envoy first, and ask him to play the emperor's father!"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, after the big case a few months ago, how can His Majesty trust the chief envoy? Only you can get His Majesty to agree to this matter!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "Are you going to rely on me for this matter?"

Guo An sighed helplessly, "Your Highness, it's not that you are a lowly official, but you are the only person in the world who can be trusted by His Majesty and who really cares about the people of Wanping County!"

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, stared blankly at Guo An for a moment, and said arrogantly: "This matter is not an example!"

Guo An replied subconsciously: "Then please His Royal Highness King Yan, next time don't call me the people of Wanping County who are so exhausted to reclaim wasteland!"

Zhu Di's face darkened, "Huh?"

Guo An quickly replied: "Your Highness loves the people like a son, and I admire you so much. Next time, if Your Highness needs anything else, your Highness and the tens of thousands of people in Wanping County will definitely actively help His Highness solve problems!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly!
……

With Zhu Di's action, Beiping Chief Envoy also intends to cooperate, and soon Lao Zhu, who is far away in Yingtian Mansion, agrees to lend food to the people of Wanping County.

At the same time, regarding the fact that the people of Wanping County were able to reclaim [-] hectares of land in more than two months, they praised Zhu Di, King of Yan.

In response to this, Zhu Di walked around the main hall of Yan Palace more than ten times in the palace directly and excitedly.

You know, since he was a child, he has always been beaten up by his father, and this is the first time he has been praised!

However, no matter how he walked, the joy in his heart could not be vented.

"Li Wang, Zhu Liang, follow me out for a walk!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Soon, Zhu Di in plain clothes was wandering around the streets of Beiping Mansion with several burly men with fierce faces hanging behind him.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Zhu Di seemed to have seen something strange, and hurried forward a few steps.

At the same time, look up.

Wanping County Government!

After confirming that he was not mistaken, the expression on Zhu Di's face was even more astonished.

Looking around carefully, there was actually a group of elderly people sitting under the gate of the Wanping County Yamen. They lined up from the shaded place at the gate of the county government office to the inside of the county government office.

But the strange thing is that these old people don't seem to be complaining, but all of them are sitting leisurely, gathering together in twos and threes, talking about their respective affairs.

After listening for a while, Zhu Di understood that these old people should be all old people under the administration of Wanping County.

At the same time, Zhu Di also became interested and joined in front of several old men.

"Dare to ask the elders, all of you are squatting at the gate of the county government office in the morning, what are you doing?"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di's sudden appearance immediately startled the neighborhood chiefs who were chatting enthusiastically.

"Who are you?"

However, after seeing the exquisite silk clothes Zhu Di was wearing, the expressions of all the old people changed rapidly.

After the founding of the country, His Majesty has stipulated that the common people can wear clothes made of silk, gauze, silk, and cloth.And those merchants can only wear clothes made of silk and cloth.

However, these ordinary people are busy all year round, they can eat enough with simple tea and light food, and they are satisfied with wearing warm clothes of coarse cloth.

As for the young man in fine silk in front of him, he could only be the noble young master of which family!
"I don't know who this noble man is? What's your business in Wanping county government?"

"Elders, don't be polite. It's the first time I've seen so many old people gather at the gate of the county government office, with such a relaxed expression, I can't help being curious!" Zhu Di asked with a gentle face.

An old man chuckled and replied: "Hahaha, I'm afraid this son is not from Wanping County! We are all village chiefs in various villages under Wanping County, and this time it is routine to report the government affairs of our respective villages to the county lord. Come!"

On the side, several old men nodded their heads.

"I see!"

Zhu Di continued to ask curiously as if meeting these village chiefs for the first time: "I heard that Wanping County has reclaimed [-] hectares of land under the administration of that magistrate.

I wonder if you can borrow food? "

Hearing this, a group of old people looked at Zhu Di with vigilance, "I don't know who this young master is, why do you want to inquire about such secrets in Wanping County?"

Zhu Di was subconsciously taken aback, "Secret matter?"

However, these district chiefs no longer had the good looks they had just now, and started to push people away, "This matter is a secret matter of my Wanping County. If this young master is fine, please leave quickly!"

"Exactly, this is a matter of my Wanping County, please forgive me for not telling me!"

"..."

Zhu Di was full of astonishment, why didn't he expect these old men to change their faces so quickly!
Behind him, guards such as Li Wang and Zhu Liang rushed up to protect him!

"Bold, this is His Royal Highness King Yan!"
