Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

A trace of cruelty flashed in the eyes of Chen Ying, the censor of the right capital, and he bowed his hands to Zhu Di again.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to summon the generals and ministers from the Yi army to come for questioning!"

Zhu Di glanced at Chen Ying and nodded slightly.

"Go and summon!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yi Shiha responded and walked away again.

In the hall, the Minister of War, Tie Xuan, and the Minister of Personnel, Bao Zhao, frowned.

This time, the civil servants were obsessed with this matter, just to suppress the military officers, especially the military generals who would have more say in the DPRK through this great achievement.

However, he had no intention of offending Cao Guogong Li Jinglong.

just.

They were also a little wary of Chen Ying, the censor of Youdu.

Not only is this person favored by His Majesty, he is also petty, vicious, and likes to frame others.

Yang Jing, the censor of Zuodu, was speechless, and they, the older ministers, could not say anything.

soon.

Liu Sheng, Zhang Yu, Lu De... and other military attachés and ministers were summoned to the palace.

After everyone had finished their salutes, Zhu Di said directly: "Please tell me in detail what happened to those remnants of the thieves who pretended to be the children of the Chen family and assassinated Duke Cao Guo. You must not hide anything!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Liu Sheng, Zhang Yu, Lu De and other military attachés and ministers were surprised, and then they spoke quickly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, not long after our army defeated the main force of the Hu thieves and captured the Hu thieves alive, some Annan people came to see the general, claiming to be a descendant of the Chen family.

However, Wei Chen and others did not pay too much attention at that time.

In addition, at that time, Wei Chen and others were responsible for exterminating the remnants of the traitors, and it was the general who met these remnants of the traitors alone...

However, not even an hour later, I heard the cry of killing coming from the general's side... Then, I found out that those Chen family disciples were the remnants of the thieves pretending to assassinate the general! "

"wrong!"

Chen Ying glared at Liu Sheng angrily and asked: "After an hour of meeting, those Annan talents took action against Cao Guogong. If those Chen family disciples were thieves pretending to be thieves, why didn't they take action earlier?"

Zhu Di also looked at Liu Sheng and others and asked curiously: "Why is this?"

Liu Sheng's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, even this humble minister doesn't know!"

"I don't know?"

Chen Ying became angry again, "As partial generals in the army conquering the barbarians, how could you not know this?"

Liu Sheng, Zhang Yu and others ignored Chen Ying and still saluted Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty clearly knows that Wei Chen and others really don't know!"

"I certainly believe you!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "You go down first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Liu Sheng, Zhang Yu and others resigned.

Chen Ying said angrily: "Your Majesty, I suspect that these generals have secretly colluded with Cao Guogong.

Wei Chen heard that when they captured Thang Long City and other major Annan cities, although Cao Guogong, Dinghai Marquis and others did not order troops to plunder, they forced the Annan dignitaries and merchants to spend more than half of their wealth. , and distributed all the money to all the soldiers! "

Hearing this, Zhu Di frowned slightly.

"Chen Ying, do you know how much money the army brought back this time was handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

"what?"

Chen Ying was stunned.

Zhu Di continued: "The property of nearly a hundred large ships, only gold and silver and other money, is worth more than three million taels of silver, as well as various jade, jewelry, spices, cloth, grain..."

Chen Ying was stunned and slowly opened her mouth.

As for Bao Zhao, Zheng Yi, Sun Xian and other ministers on the side, they looked at Yu Xin, the minister of household affairs.

Yu Xin looked serious, but he couldn't hold back the joy in his eyes.

This time, no matter what, his household will make a lot of money.

If all the wars of the Ming Dynasty could be like the conquest of Annan, everyone in his household would definitely give their full support.

"Now, all the ministers will talk about how to reward Cao Guogong, Dinghaihou and other generals who conquered the barbarians..."

……

"Dad, is this the fiefdom of our house?"

On the Qinhuai River Bridge in Jiangjun Mountain, Guo An and his three children, each wearing a cotton hat, put their hands into each other's sleeves, curled their necks, and looked around with curiosity on their faces.

"Yeah!"    Guo An nodded slightly and walked straight forward.

"On the other side of the river, this field has a total of 20,000 acres. It is the field of my house. As for the mountains and forests on the other side, it is really my fiefdom, Marquis Dinghai."

"Look at the docks, workshops, streets, and various shops. They are all properties of the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce. Most of them are owned by His Majesty, and we only have a small share in the house!"

Hearing this, Guo Lu couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Dad, since this is our family's fiefdom, why is your Majesty the boss of these industries?

Why can't everyone in our family occupy it? "

Guo An smiled lightly, "Lu'er, are our families short of money?"

"No shortage!"

Guo Lu shook his head repeatedly.

Guo An added: "Since there is no shortage, why should we occupy all these industries?

These industries can make money.

If our house is fully occupied, it is not impossible to earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a month, or even millions of taels of silver! "

"So much money?"

Guo Lu, Guo Han, and Guo Shen could not help but open their mouths with curiosity on their faces.

"Yes!"

Guo An nodded slowly and then said: "However, money and silk have moved people's hearts since ancient times! Our family makes so much money, but those powerful people, even the princes, princes, and His Majesty only make a few thousand taels a month. Silver, or tens of thousands of taels of silver, do you think they won’t be jealous of my family?”

"definitely will!"

The three little ones nodded again.

Then, the three little ones looked at Guo An with wide eyes and admiration on their faces.

"Dad, you are so smart!"

"Your Majesty makes so much money, and my family only makes a little bit. It doesn't attract anyone's attention, and with His Majesty's protection, my family can make a fortune silently!"

"Exactly!"

Guo An nodded happily.

"You three, remember, our family is already very prominent and has made a lot of money, so there is no need to make more money, and there is no need to fight for anything. Just live our family's small life!"

"Yes, Dad, we remember!"

The three little ones nodded in succession.

Immediately, the three of them were jumping coldly.

"Dad, it's so cold here!"

"Yes, Dad, we are still hungry..."

"Hahaha, let's go to the front to eat!"

Guo An laughed and walked forward again.

This time, there was still no carriage.

The three little ones did not think of riding in the carriage and followed Guo An forward.

After entering a restaurant and getting warm, the three little ones took a long breath.

"Master Hou?"

Seeing Guo An, the restaurant manager looked in disbelief and wiped his eyes to confirm that he had not mistakenly identified the person.

“The shopkeeper’s business here is still so good!”

Guo An smiled faintly, looked around, and found a seat by the window to sit down.

"Today, I will eat at this table!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

The shopkeeper quickly bowed and responded.

"I wonder what these three young gentlemen and girls eat?"

Guo An said directly: "It's still the same dishes as before!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

The shopkeeper glanced at Guo An and the three little ones strangely, then hurriedly went to the kitchen to give orders.

As for the three little ones, they were looking around with curiosity on their faces.

Especially the diners in the restaurant were stared at non-stop by the three little ones.

but.

Among them, half of the people, although they did not know Guo An, had heard of him. Therefore, facing the three little ones, they all responded with gentle faces.
