Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Half an hour later.

Guo An followed the chamberlain and walked into Fengtian Hall.

Inside the palace.

There were only two people, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi.

However, the atmosphere is a bit depressing?

Guo An raised his head and glanced at Zhu Gaochi strangely. At this moment, the little fat man probably didn't dare to argue face to face with Zhu Di.

Thinking about it, Guo An already bowed and saluted.

"I have met with Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Guo Qing, wake up!"

Zhu Di waved his hand directly, anger still emerging in his eyes.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, but something big happened?"

Zhu Dihan said in a loud voice: "Annan Kingdom has been destroyed!"

"what?"

Guo An was confused.

Annan Kingdom, also known as Vietnam in later generations.

In this era, because Annan Kingdom was ruled by Li Zhaohuang, the empress of Vietnam's Li Dynasty, the throne was given to Chen Yuan, the founding emperor of Annan Kingdom.

Therefore, the Tran Dynasty, also known as the Annan Kingdom, called itself Dai Viet internally and Annan to foreign countries!

At this time, Annan State still had more than three million people, and it was a large country.

Zhu Di continued: "All the Chen family members of the Annan royal family were wiped out. It seems that only a few Chen family members escaped!"

"The Annan royal family, the Chen family, is in such a miserable state!"

Guo An sighed and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, how could Annan be destroyed? Who did it?"

Zhu Di said bitterly: "It's the Annan Prime Minister Hu Jiya. As a relative of Annan abroad, he is also the prime minister. He controls the power inside and outside the Annan court. He is deeply trusted by the Annan royal family. However, he did such a treasonous thing. He also changed the country’s name to Dayu!”

"That bastard is really treasonous!"

Guo An hurriedly agreed, "To deal with this kind of traitor, we should send troops to destroy him and avenge the death of the Annan royal family!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di's expression softened a lot.

"However, what worries us the most is that such a major event was not reported to the officials of Yunnan and Guangxi. Instead, someone wrote the matter on a letter and gave it to the postman of the Dibao. We were able to learn about it when it was delivered to the capital. …”

"This……"

After listening to Zhu Di's narration, Guo An couldn't help but frown.

"Your Majesty, do you suspect that among the generals and officials in Yunnan and Guangxi, there are thieves who have colluded with that rogue?"

"If not, why were they able to trace those postmen?"

"Your Majesty, is it possible that the officials in Yunnan and Guangxi don't understand the situation in Annan?

Is it just that the thief colluded with a few gentry? "

Zhu Di looked at Guo An quietly.

Guo An smiled coquettishly, "Wei Chen is just guessing at random, and it needs to be subject to Wang Zhen's secret investigation!"

Zhu Di said again: "We think there is a problem with the Jinyiwei in Yunnan and Guangxi!"

Guo An's expression turned serious, "Your Majesty, would you like to go to Shenji Camp for a walk?"

"Let's wait for Wang Zhen's news!"

"Those royal guards shouldn't be bold enough to dare to attack Wang Zhen, right?"

"Before Wang Zhen left, we gave him a hundred grenades and twenty fire weapons!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"Tell me, are those thieves who advocate banning the sea involved in this?"

"This……"

Guo An couldn't help but frown, and then twisted his brows with his hands.

"Your Majesty, I am stupid and can't figure it out. However, no matter whether he is involved or not, since Your Majesty uses the opening of the sea to fish, then open the big net. As long as they get in, catch them all and slowly identify them. Can!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di glanced at Guo An's movements, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

"What Guo Qing said is absolutely true. No matter what kind of thief he is, as long as he is caught, we will deal with them severely!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

……

"Tsk, tsk, there are so many monsters and ghosts hidden under the Ming Dynasty!"

After leaving the palace, Guo An clicked his tongue twice with a strange expression on his face, then got into the carriage and headed home.

Annan was destroyed!

Then, with Zhu Di's urine, Annan will definitely become the state capital of the Ming Dynasty!

As for the few surviving children of the Chen family of the Annan royal family, they will definitely disappear without a trace.

So, when the time comes, can we send people to Annan to find some jade mines?

After thinking about it, after returning to the house, Guo An ordered the housekeeper beside him: "Find Shen Zhuang!"

"Yes, sir!"

The housekeeper responded and walked quickly without saying anything else.

soon. Shen Zhuang hurriedly came to Guo An as he was in charge of the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce.

"Meet the Marquis, little man!"

"No need to be polite, sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

After Shen Zhuang sat down and drank a few sips of herbal tea, Guo An said, "How is the situation of the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce these days?"

Shen Zhuang quickly replied: "Reporting to Lord Marquis, everything went very smoothly!"

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

"only……"

At this time, Shen Zhuang frowned slightly again, his face hesitant.

"Just tell me if you have something?"

Guo An said directly.

Shen Zhuang whispered: "Master Marquis, I don't know when the boss of His Royal Highness's bank changed and he became a monk!"

Guo An's expression suddenly became strange.

Shen Zhuang continued: "Master Hou, that monk looks kind and kind, but when he does things, he is very cunning and meticulous.

The villain saw that in just a few days, he had joined forces with the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce, Jiangjunshan Workshop, and the Auction House to lay many traps for many merchants and gentry! "

Guo An nodded slightly and asked, "Are there any consequences?"

Shen Zhuang replied: "Hui Lord, no!"

Guo Andao said: "In that case, there is no need to pay too much attention to it. After all, the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce and the bank are all His Majesty's properties.

I am just working for His Majesty and making some money on the side.

As long as it's not harmful to nature, treasonous, or causing our family to be destroyed, then don't take some things too seriously, and don't pay too much attention to them! "

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your teaching!"

Shen Zhuang nodded with gratitude, and then said with a wry smile: "Master Hou, actually according to that monk's method, even if you let the villain take care of it, the villain will not dare to go!"

"That monk is indeed a bit cruel!"

Guo An echoed.

Shen Zhuang suddenly looked strange, "Master Marquis, do you know that mage?"

Guo An glanced at Shen Zhuang and said, "In the early years, you also stayed in Beiping Mansion for a few years. Have you never seen that monk?"

Shen Zhuang looked startled.

Guo An waved his hand, "Okay, don't ask too much, don't say too much. Anyway, that monk will not cause trouble at will, harm you, nor will he take your seat for no reason!"

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for reminding me!"

Shen Zhuang expressed his gratitude again.

Guo An nodded slightly and asked directly: "Your Shen family is engaged in extensive business. Do you know that there is a stone similar to jade in Annan?"

"Annan?"

Shen Zhuang frowned and thought quickly.

After a moment, Shen Zhuang raised his head and said tentatively: "Master Marquis, are you talking about Cuisheng Jade?"

"Cui Sheng Yu?"

Guo An was a little confused.

Shen Zhuang said quickly: "Master Hou, the caravans from Yunnan brought some stones from the mainland. After cutting those stones, there will be very beautiful jade inside!

However, these jade stones are not as mild as other jade stones, but come in various colors and patterns!

Nowadays, these green jade are also very popular among some noble people! "

Guo An's face lit up, "That's it!"

Shen Zhuang also looked at Guo An expectantly, "Master Hou, can you find this kind of stone in Annan?"

Guo An nodded, "There should be a large number of such stones in Annan! However, we can't go looking for it yet!"

Shen Zhuang was a little confused, "What does the Marquis mean?"

Guo Andao: "Recruit a few more old craftsmen to the Chamber of Commerce who can explore and find jade veins. They will play an important role when the time comes!"

Shen Zhuang was overjoyed, "Yes, Lord Marquis!"

Guo An ordered: "This matter must not be disclosed to the outside world. Otherwise, it will not be me who is causing trouble for you, but the Jin Yiwei!"

Shen Zhuang was startled and nodded quickly with a solemn expression.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Hou, I will definitely not reveal a single word!"

"Very good!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

"You should hear some news in a few days. Don't pay too much attention to it and just do your work with peace of mind!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

Shen Zhuang nodded again.

Immediately, after talking about some things in detail, Shen Zhuang left!
