Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Facing Zhu Di's expression of coldness, wanting to choose someone to devour, all the officials in the court were full of uneasiness.

Those officials and gentry in Yunnan, Fujian and Guangdong have gone too far!
And this His Majesty is too cruel and ruthless!

A total of eight local gentry, as well as more than a dozen merchants, thousands of people, were killed at will, without even giving any chance to plead for mercy.

Over the past month, everyone in the Ming Dynasty has witnessed the ruthlessness of His Majesty, as if the great emperor was still alive!

Dinghaihou Mansion.

After listening to Zhu Gaochi's words, Guo An's eyes widened with shock and regret, "Killed so many people?"

"Yes!"

Zhu Gaochi sighed with emotion, "Zhao Hu reported that those gentry and merchants not only jointly manufactured counterfeit banknotes, but even secretly sent ships to the sea at home!"

"Going to sea secretly?"

Guo An was startled, "So, these people are not only making money from Ming Dynasty treasures, but also money from overseas barbarians?"

"Exactly!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Gaochi's face was filled with anger.

"I was a little surprised before. The court was already issuing treasure banknotes very slowly, but the Ming Dynasty's treasure banknotes were still growing at an extremely fast speed...

Unexpectedly, it was the gentry and merchants who were printing counterfeit money without restraint! "

Guo Andao: "This time, the officials in the court will have nothing to say!"

Zhu Gaochi's face turned stern, "If they still dare to intercede on behalf of those thieving officials and evil gentry, I will file a report and investigate them thoroughly!"

"How many of them are clean?"

Guo An curled his lips with a sneer, "But this time, Your Majesty will take advantage of this opportunity to purge the entire south!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slowly.

Then, he said again: "Teacher, according to the time, Jin Zhong and Shang Kezhou should be arriving in the capital!"

"Ok!"

Guo An also nodded slightly, "Soon!"

Zhu Gaochi said: "Teacher, you are most familiar with Jin Zhong, Shang Kezhou and others. I wonder what arrangements you have for these days?"

Guo An was startled and shook his head repeatedly, "Your Highness is kind to me, but this matter is the responsibility of His Majesty and the staff. I will never dare to interrupt!"

Zhu Gaochi didn't believe it, he smiled softly and said: "Teacher, don't refuse, the teacher never does useless things. Since the teacher recommended to the father this time, he wants to recall these people, there must be something important to hand over." them!"

Guo An was stunned for a moment, then smiled slowly, "Your Highness is wise!"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up and he looked directly at Guo An.

"I wonder what the teacher has to hand over to these people?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, if Ma He and his fleet come back, Your Majesty will open the sea, and then the Daming City Shipping Department will be established!"

Zhu Gaochi understood instantly and looked at Guo An with admiration on his face.

"Both Shang Kezhou and Chang Guoting were responsible for this matter in Yan State.

Moreover, these two people are both from the Beiping Mansion. They do not have any big family support behind them, and they are loyal to their father..."

"The teacher is indeed very thoughtful..."

"Ugh!"

Guo An sighed softly, and under Zhu Gaochi's puzzled gaze, said: "Your Highness, in fact, in the Ming Dynasty, your prince guest is better at maneuvering and far-sighted than the ministers!"

Zhu Gaochi was startled, "The person the teacher is talking about is Master Daoyan?"

"naturally!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi was shocked, and then he recalled that since he was named the Crown Prince, Master Daoyan had been named the Crown Prince's guest.

Although that person often told him some Buddhist scriptures, he seemed to have never remembered this mage!
However, he clearly remembered that when Master Dao Yan was in Prince Yan's Mansion in Beiping, he often sat with his father and talked about everything!However, these were just thoughts, and Zhu Gaochi didn't pay too much attention.

As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, he has no shortage of wise ministers around him!
Moreover, since he has the Crown Prince and Grand Master with him, he doesn't have to ask other officials for advice!

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi said again: "Teacher, all the matters related to the imperial newspaper in the capital have been almost solved, but the people who transported the imperial newspaper in all the states and counties in the Ming Dynasty are still not found!"

"How many people have you found?"

Guo An asked.

Zhu Gaochi replied honestly: "Teacher, we have already found more than 300 senders who can read and arithmetic, and we still need more than [-] people!"

"There are so many people?"

Hearing this, Guo An couldn't help but be surprised.

"Teacher's intention?"

Zhu Gaochi was delighted.

Guo Andao: "From the early days, there were not necessarily so many gentry and merchants who would trust the transportation provided by Di Bao.

therefore.

One sender per county and state is enough. As for the prefecture, two senders will be sent first!
After that, just recruit senders according to the vacancies! "

Zhu Gaochi looked happy and said hurriedly: "If we arrange it like this, two thousand or three hundred people will be enough!"

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slowly.

"In this way, Di Bao was compiled, reviewed, and published!"

Zhu Gaochi stared at Guo An closely and said excitedly: "Teacher, is it really okay?"

"Your Highness, you should believe in yourself!"

Guo An encouraged Zhu Gaochi: "Your Highness, the Di Bao is a new thing. It is not like the policies of the court that concern the people of the world, and no mistakes are allowed.

However, Di Bao is just a piece of paper with Ming Dynasty decrees and various things written on it.

Even if there is any mistake, the most you can do is lose some money, correct it, write it again, and print it out! "

This was Zhu Gaochi's first time building Di Bao from scratch. How could Zhu Gaochi not be nervous?

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but ask again: "Teacher, I wonder what content can be written in the Zhang Di newspaper?"

After hearing this, Guo An thought for a moment and then said.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is wise and brave, and dares to face mistakes. In order to ensure that the Ming Dynasty officials can govern the Ming Dynasty, he takes drastic measures to severely arrest all officials who are corrupt and pervert the law, and investigate all thieves who forge counterfeit banknotes..."

"This……"

In an instant, Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened with surprise on his face.

"Teacher, can this matter really be known to the whole world?"

"Why not?"

Guo An smiled faintly and said, "Which of these things was not done by His Majesty as a last resort in order to govern the Ming Dynasty?

Moreover, if it is not written into the Di Bao and allowed to be spread by the merchants, maybe it will spread from the south to the north, and the content will completely change! "

"How dare they?"

Zhu Gaochi was furious.

Guo An did not argue, but continued: "If Your Highness is worried, you can report the matter to His Majesty. I believe that His Majesty will agree with your magnanimity!"

"Thank you teacher for reminding me!"

Zhu Gaochi thanked Guo An.

Afterwards, Zhu Gaochi once again discussed with Guo An in detail what needed to be written in the newspaper before saying goodbye and leaving!
