Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

"no!"

Guo An still looked determined.

"how can that be?"

Zhu Gaosui couldn't accept it and still looked at Guo An expectantly.

"Marquis Guo, how come you don't have any solution?"

Guo An looked helpless, "Your Highness, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!"

Zhu Gaosui said: "But, when we were in Beiping, Beiping Mansion wasn't like this?"

Guo An smiled lightly and said, "Your Highness, Beiping Prefecture has the Grand Canal, and can also go out to the sea from Dagu mouth. At that time, Beiping Prefecture was heavily guarded, and there were often merchants transporting grain and salt... I don't know which prefecture your Highness is talking about. What’s so special about it?”

Zhu Gaosui said: "There is... there is Prince Zhao's Mansion!"

"Forehead……"

Guo An was stunned, then smiled helplessly, "Your Highness, you should know best what the situation is like in your Zhangde Mansion!
Besides its vast territory and large population, what else is special about it?

Well, there are several small rivers where you can farm!

However, you also know how to farm, and even the farmers on the farm in Beiping Prefecture can ask for it from His Highness King Yan, or from His Majesty. With these alone, the people of Zhangde Prefecture can eat A full stomach is completely enough!

However, what you want is to make money. If the business in Zhangde Mansion cannot develop, you will not be able to make money..."

Zhu Gaosui's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "Marquis Guo, then let the business of Zhangde Mansion develop!"

"The lower officials are incompetent!"

Guo An shook his head slowly.

Zhu Gaosui said firmly: "Marquis Guo must be capable!"

On the bar?
Guo An was a little impatient and said sternly: "Your Highness, King Zhao, you have to be reasonable. In addition to the vast land and tough people, your vassal has no commercial potential. How can you develop business in it?"

The light in Zhu Gaosui's eyes dimmed, and he was a little depressed, "The second brother has the prosperous Peiping, and the eldest brother is the prince. It's a pity that I only have such a vassal, but I can only farm. How sad..."

"Ugh!"

Guo An also sighed slightly, "then he lifted his legs and walked forward!"

Zhu Gaosui's face froze.

Is this gone?

He is the majestic King Zhao of the Ming Dynasty, the most beloved son of His Majesty and the Queen, the devil incarnate in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and he is about to cry in front of you, Guo An?

Did you, Guo An, just sigh?Leaving with such indifference without saying a word?Are you so disliked?
"Guohoumo, run!"

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaosui's face became anxious and he chased after him.

"Marquis Guo, last time I begged you, you asked me to wait. The time has come. Is it possible that Marquis Guo wants me to wait any longer?"

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

Zhu Gaosui: "..."

"What does Marquis Guo want me to wait for?"

Guo Andao: "Wait for Ma He to come back!"

Zhu Gaosui was startled, "The eunuch Ma He who took the fleet to sea?"

Guo An nodded, "Exactly!"

Zhu Gaosui said: "But Marquis Guo, Na Ma He has been out to sea for more than a year, and no news has been sent back. It is so dangerous overseas, there is no guarantee that nothing will happen!"

"Ma He and others will definitely return safely!"

Guo An is very serious.

Zhu Gaosui was a little surprised, "Is Marquis Guo so confident?"

Guo An was a little speechless, "Your Highness, Ma He brought three thousand Yanshan Guards and goods worth millions of taels from the Sea Trade Chamber of Commerce. Don't His Highness want him to come back?" Zhu Gaosui was stunned, and hurriedly laughed and said: "I myself I want Ma He to come back!”

"Yes!"

Guo An nodded slowly, "As long as Ma He and others return safely, the sea route to the West will begin to open, and we can officially open the sea in the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the kings of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the great nobles and merchants, will send ships to the sea... to do business overseas and occupy the ownerless lands overseas...

At this time, if His Highness does not train His Highness's Changshan Three Guards well so that when the sea is opened, they can go out to sea to expand territory and establish a feudal country, why should they cling to a mere Zhangde Mansion? "

"Going to sea to expand territory?"

Zhu Gaosui looked at Guo An blankly, "Just the three guards of this king?"

Guo An smiled lightly and said: "Your Highness should also know that when Your Majesty was still King Yan, he only had [-] troops to attack Goryeo and Japan!"

"But……"

Zhu Gaosui still had some concerns. He often participated in military affairs and was very courageous.

However, I also learned a lot about the situation overseas.

There are not only barbarians overseas, but also various poisonous insects, evil beasts, and natural disasters. It is not as easy as those merchants said.

Guo An said directly: "Does His Highness King Zhao want to compete with His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"how can that be?"

Zhu Gaosui was immediately startled, "Why did Marquis Guo say that? It's not like you don't know how much your father dotes on your eldest brother. Why should you dote on the boy Zhan Jina?"

Guo Andao: "Your Majesty also favors His Highness a lot!"

"That's no big deal, I still know myself!"

Zhu Gaosui slowly shook his head again, not surprised that Guo An dared to talk about their royal affairs like this.

"Moreover, the eldest brother handles so many government affairs and memorials every day, and I can't handle them well!"

Of course, with your Dinghaihou Guo An here, neither King Zhao nor King Yan will have any chance.

Zhu Gaosui had already figured this out a few years ago.

Guo An nodded slowly and said, "In this case, His Highness King Zhao, could you please give me some advice?"

Zhu Gaosui looked at Guo An fiercely, and suddenly smiled with a huge smile on his face.

"Even if Marquis Guo says it bluntly, I will definitely accept it all!"

Guo An showed a smile on his face and bowed slightly to Zhu Gaosui.

"In the past two years, Your Highness has led troops to fight against injustices in various places in the capital, causing some officials and dignitaries in the capital to avoid them like tigers. However, I know very well that Your Highness has a kind nature, and has practiced martial arts and learned the art of war diligently since he was a child. He is definitely not the ordinary people. It looks like that!

His Highness also wants to be like His Majesty, doing civil and martial arts, opening up territory and expanding territory for the Ming Dynasty, and making achievements to fulfill his ambitions. "

"Marquis Guo still understands me!"

Zhu Gaosui's face was filled with joy, and his eyes when looking at Guo An were even brighter and friendly.

Guo An continued: "It's just that His Highness is still young now, and His Majesty and the Queen dote on His Highness, and are reluctant to bear His Highness' hardship, but they ignore His Highness' abilities... His Highness is trapped in the capital, and has nowhere to display his talents... "

Zhu Gaosui nodded subconsciously.

Guo An added: "I feel that your Highness' domain is vast and has a large number of people, so we can first vigorously plant food.

In recent years, Beiping Mansion Farm has also trained many farmers.

Your Highness can ask for it from His Majesty. Your Majesty will definitely be very pleased and will select dozens of farmers with the best planting skills for Your Highness...

Even if His Majesty is in a good mood, it is not impossible to allocate the seeds needed for His Majesty's domain directly to His Majesty! "

"In this way, in just two years, the people of Changde Mansion, the domain of His Highness, will become rich.

When those people become rich, His Highness can recruit corvees, distribute money and food to those people, and build roads in Zhangde Prefecture... Your Highness should also know how important roads are to the development of a state capital! "
