Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 329 Zhang Yu Appears
"Yes, Your Highness!"

Guo An saluted.

Zhu Di said angrily: "Hmph, how dare they put their hands into my Prince Yan's mansion, let us find out, it will definitely not make them feel better!"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, it is actually understandable that His Highness King Qin and His Highness King Jin behave like this!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di looked at Guo An in surprise and asked, "What does Guo Qing mean?"

Guo An smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, His Highness King Qin and King Jin are both His Highness' elder brothers.

Unfortunately, these two highnesses were in bad luck, and their subordinates did not have a long history of talents like Wei Chen.

As a result, they could only watch helplessly as His Highness Prince Yan's Mansion became richer and more powerful day by day.

What's more, they can even capture Goryeo and Japan, and make gold every day.

As for the Qin Prince's Mansion and the Jin Prince's Mansion, they are living a hard life all day long. How can they be content with this in the long run? "

"Hahaha……"

Zhu Di laughed directly, "What Guo Qing said is absolutely true, but we are still more discerning and discerning than them, so we have a wise minister like Guo Qing to help us."

Guo An nodded slightly, "Your Highness, it is only if His Royal Highness Qin Wang and Jin Wang are both respected and powerful figures.

If they oppress the soldiers or officials of Prince Yan's Mansion, for the sake of their families, those soldiers and officials will not dare not listen to this.

Therefore, I beg your Highness, if such poor people are really found out, please spare their lives and send their whole family to Korea and Japan.

In this way, they will definitely be loyal to His Highness..."

Zhu Di stared at Guo An seriously for a while, then nodded slowly.

"Guo Qing, don't worry, we are not such bloodthirsty people!"

Guo An's face brightened, "Your Highness is merciful!"

"However, Wei Chen also speculates that His Highness King Qin and His Highness King Jin actually do not know the specific situation of Goryeo!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di looked curious.

Guo An said slowly: "Your Highness, there are now twelve small nobles in Goryeo who have surrendered to our Goryeo Kingdom of Yan. The remaining Goryeo nobles are also slowly surrendering to our Yan Kingdom at a steady and slow speed.

Within a year at most, they will all surrender to my country of Yan. "

"If King Qin and King Jin know about this, then they must also understand, even if they are now starting to organize an army and buy ships.

They will send troops after the spring of next year. When their army arrives in Goryeo, I am afraid that all the nobles in the Goryeo Kingdom will surrender to our Yan Kingdom.

At this time, they are all wasting their hard work..."

Zhu Di was stunned and a little surprised.

"Guo Qing, would those Korean nobles really surrender to my country of Yan so quickly?"

Guo An smiled lightly and said: "Your Highness, I have already printed hundreds of sets of some history books of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, the end of Qin Dynasty, and the end of Han Dynasty, and then asked Jin Zhong to send several sets to each of the Korean nobles. "

Zhu Di: "..."

Guo An continued: "In addition, the [-] elite troops of the great nobles of Goryeo are still trapped in the Japanese country.

After being taught a lesson by Chen Shou, Wang Bi and other commanders, these Korean troops became much more obedient and obeyed my Yanshan Wei words.

Presumably, those Goryeo nobles should also know the situation of their large armies in Japan.

Those Goryeo nobles are smart people who know what option is best for them. "

"Yeah! What Guo Qing said makes sense!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

Those Korean nobles read a lot of Confucian classics one by one, even if they are not smart, they will become smart.

Of course, if there are ignorant people, that's normal.

Zhu Di is also very welcome, just to give him some more gold and silver property seized from the Yan Palace.

……

soon.

It's starting to get cold again.

Beiping Mansion still likes snow in the cold winter.

Fortunately, a flat and wide cement road has been paved from Beiping City to Dagukou, which will not affect the fleet's commerce.

During this period.

Zhu Di also personally took ten large ships to the capital to deliver annual tribute silver to Lao Zhu.

Regarding the tribute silver, Lao Zhu was full of joy.

However, after a period of joy, there was another burst of criticism towards Zhu Di.

As the king of Yan, he should conquer the Northern Yuan Dynasty, instead of just attacking Goryeo, which is harmless to Ming Dynasty, and the country of Wa, to collect money.

In response to Lao Zhu's scolding, Zhu Di responded respectfully.

As for the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di had no attitude towards the crown prince at all. It was just an uncle's attitude towards his nephew, which made some close servants and courtiers very dissatisfied.

However, Zhu Di didn't care.

Anyway, the old man would not give him the position of crown prince, nor would he kill him. Bullying that boy Zhu Yunwen would still make him feel comfortable for a while.

As for the depreciation of the precious banknote, there was a lot of noise in the court for a while.

However, neither Lao Zhu nor the court officials had a good solution, and it seemed that it would just end!

Return to Beiping Mansion.

Zhu Di summoned Guo An and explained everything that happened in the capital.

However, he was too embarrassed to speak out about his bullying of the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen.

However, Zhu Di didn't need to say anything about this kind of thing, someone had already spread it to Beiping Mansion!
Guo An didn't have any good suggestions for the depreciation of the banknote.

The main thing is that according to Lao Zhu's operation, Ming Dynasty really cannot do without Baoqian.

And let the surrounding vassal states share part of the treasure money for the Ming Dynasty?

Not to mention that Lao Zhu agreed to open the sea, even if the sea is opened, those countries are not so big and can help Daming share the pressure of the treasure.

Guo An didn't ask for trouble, but asked: "Your Highness, after preparing for the New Year's Day, you went to conquer Beiyuan?"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and did not hide anything, "It is the duty of my vassals to conquer Beiyuan. Moreover, those Beiyuan tartars are going too far!"

Guo An asked: "So, does Your Highness need to call back some generals from Japan?"

"It doesn't have to be!"

Zhu Di shook his head slowly, "In the past few years, among the generals and schools that my father has added to our Yanshan Guard, there are also a few generals and schools that we are satisfied with, especially Zhang Yu, who is loyal to our Ming Dynasty even though he is a general from the Northern Yuan Dynasty. , also fought bravely and resourcefully!

Now, Beiyuan doesn't have any generals, they just hide around, making it difficult for me to find them.

It is enough to have Zhang Yu, Chen Zhi, Meng Shan and other generals accompanying us on the expedition! "

"Zhang Yu?"

Guo An was stunned, the famous hero of Jingnan?
Thinking about it, he nodded slowly.

"Congratulations to Your Highness for winning this good general, Your Highness will surely return home with great victory!"

"Hahaha……"

Zhu Di was in a good mood.

……

"Shen Zhuang met Guo Changshi!"

"Mr. Shen, hurry up and get free!"

In the past few years, as the cooperation between the Shen family and Prince Yan's palace has deepened, the status of Shen Zhuang's branch in the Shen family has become higher and higher, and Shen Zhuang's belly has become more and more full.

At the same time, Shen Zhuang also obtained the honor of a scholar, and finally he was able to wear silk costumes outside, and became more and more luxurious.

Among the wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, they held their heads high and held their chests high, superior to ordinary people.

However, in front of Guo An, Shen Zhuang did not dare to be arrogant at all.

After getting up, he asked humbly: "Dare to ask Guo Changshi to call the villain, but what do you want?"

"Shen Yuanwai doesn't have to be like this!"

Guo An looked helpless, "I invited Yuanwai Shen to come here this time, I just want to ask Yuanwai Shen to help my Palace of Yan promote more in the south!"

"publicity?"

Shen Zhuang was startled.

"The craftsman school under our Prince Yan's Mansion has been expanded again. All the great craftsmen who come to our Prince Yan's Mansion can study and become literate, and their heirs can also be enlightened.

......"

"Can everyone go to study?"

Shen Zhuang was dumbfounded.

"Guo Changshi, how much money will this cost?"

Guo An said calmly: "The artisan is worth the money spent by King Yan's Palace!"

Shen Zhuang looked serious, and quickly said: "Guo Changshi, please rest assured, under such conditions, there will definitely be more masters who want to come to Yan Palace!"

"Ok!"

Guo An said: "Craftsmanship is the primary productive force. The more skilled the craftsman is, the more precious the artifacts will be, and the greater the benefits it can bring to Ming Dynasty.

Likewise, the more money you can earn, the more money you can earn.

You merchants also understand that only great craftsmen can bring huge benefits to the families of you good merchants. As for those Confucians..."

Shen Zhuang looked solemn and said directly: "Guo Changshi, don't worry, Shen Zhuang understands!"

"It's good to understand!"

Guo An nodded in satisfaction.

"My Prince Yan's Mansion only needs skilled craftsmen, or small craftsmen with good qualifications and potential. As long as they are satisfied with one thing, their whole family can come to Prince Yan's Mansion and be supported and protected by my Prince Yan's Mansion!"

"Yes, Guo Changshi..."

Soon, Shen Zhuang withdrew happily.

They still underestimated how much this Guo Changshi attaches importance to craftsmen!
However, this time it's going to be cheaper for them, the Shen family!
