Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 101 Wei Chen Has No Complaints (First Order)
The chief of the prince's mansion, Shi, was very special in the Ming Dynasty. He was both a government official and a state official.

Changshi is in charge of the government decrees of the palace, assisting the prime minister in planning, and in charge of the affairs of the palace.Even all requests for names, seals, marriages, favors and thanks, as well as offerings, etc., were all given to the court by the head of the palace Shizuo.

And if the vassal king made any mistakes, the emperor would have to take the long history to question him.

To put it bluntly, the long history of the Ming Dynasty is the prince's protector, an official who monitors the prince. Of course, he can also become the prince's scapegoat in the end.

In any case, the chief history of the palace of the Ming Dynasty is a job that even a "dog" would not want to do.

Therefore, as the imperial decree of Lao Zhu arrived at the Wanping County Yamen in Beiping Prefecture, all the officials in the Wanping County Yamen looked at Guo An with strange expressions in their eyes.

"Congratulations Guo Xianzun!"

"Congratulations Guo Changshi..."

The Dian Shi Wang was really happy, but the scribes of Liufang and the government servants were full of regret.

In the Wanping county yamen, Han Zhiren, the county magistrate who had already been somewhat hopeless about his official career, was ecstatic with his lord Bo Shi Dazhen.

The indestructible mountain that was pressing on their heads was finally removed, and they looked ten years younger.

God knows, during the days when they took office, the county magistrate, the clerk of the sixth office of the county government, and the servants of the third class worked together to live up to the two assistant officials. How did they spend their days in the Wanping county government office? of?

Although Guozhi County became Guo Changshi, they still couldn't afford to provoke them, but their future became clearer.

"Happy together, rejoice together!"

Guo An replied dryly, but he was still in a trance.

Why did he suddenly become an official, and even became the chief history of Yan Wangfu?
And is he the kind of scapegoat for King Yan?
But deep down, there is still such a trace of relaxation and joy?
Immediately, he was a little worried again.

As for the official position of magistrate of Wanping County, he is not very nostalgic.

What he was worried about was that he became the governor of King Yan's mansion, so how would he divide the money for the barbecue restaurant that he and King Yan jointly opened?

However, since he was no longer the magistrate of Wanping County, Guo An didn't stay long, and took Guo Erniu to the back office to tidy up, and then handed over to the county magistrate Han Zhiren, master Bo Shi Dazhen, and Dian Shi Wang Zhen. After a while, go home first.

Then, go to Yanwang Palace to meet the future boss Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was a little surprised at first that Guo An became the right chief official of Yan Palace Chief History Mansion, but then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, without Guo An's consent, he wrote to his father and brother to ask for Guo An, and Zhu Di felt a little guilty.

But he didn't expect that his father had already arranged for him to be directly promoted to Changshi Fuyou Changshi, and the official promotion to one level was also considered as a complement to Guo An.

It's just that Shi Zhufu, head of Yanwangfu, looked at Guo An beside him, and his whole body was not well.

When Guo An was only a county magistrate, he was already close to His Royal Highness Yan Wang, and he did some drastic things in Beiping Mansion.

But now, wouldn't it be even more unscrupulous to become the right chief of the Yan Palace?
So, can Prince Yan's Mansion, and even the entire Beiping Mansion, be peaceful?
Especially how much trouble does he, the chief of Yan Wang Fu, have to bear?Is this punishing Guo An or Zhu Fu?
It's a pity that His Majesty personally appointed Guo An as the right chief of the Yan Palace, even if Zhu Fu didn't want to, he could only force a smile on his face.

"Guo An, my father appointed you as the right-hand secretary of Yan Wangfu, I wonder if you have any complaints in your heart?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhu Di stared into Guo An's eyes and asked.

"Your Highness can rest assured, being able to be an official in Yanwang's mansion is something the lower officials can't ask for, so I don't have any complaints."

Guo An's heart skipped a beat, feeling something was wrong, but he quickly expressed his opinion.

"Really?"

Zhu Di was very surprised, he actually felt that Guo An's words were sincere.

"The lower officials never dare to lie to His Highness!"

Guo An's face was firm. In Daming, there is really no more promising and safest place than being an official in Prince Yan's Mansion.

As an official in various states and counties, if you are not careful, you may be implicated in some crimes committed by upper officials.Take the case of Guo Huan a few months ago as an example, killing so many officials and merchants at once, Guo An does not believe that there are no innocent officials who were not implicated!
However, under Lao Zhu's fury, Jin Yiwei handled the case, even if someone complained, he would directly suppress it.

As for being an official in the Prince Yan's Mansion, at least as long as he gets Zhu Di's approval, then absolutely no one would dare to wrong Guo An at will, and his life would be safe.

Moreover, if he did a good job in Prince Yan's Mansion, he would be able to be a Marquis for his descendants if he made some credits when Jing Nan was over ten years later!
"Very good!"

Zhu Di stared at Guo An for a while, and then laughed heartily.

"However, it is indeed a bit of a grievance for you to be our magistrate. If you have any requests, you can ask them now!"

"Really?"

Guo An's face brightened.

"Ok?"

Zhu Di's face darkened, "When did we ever lie to you?"

Guo An quickly laughed, "Your Majesty, you have never lied to me. So, did I say so?"

Zhu Di: "Say!"

Guo An said anxiously: "Although the lower official has become a subject in His Highness's mansion, I still hope that His Highness will continue to distribute the dividends from the barbecue shop to the lower official!"

"Damn it..."

After saying that, apart from Zhu Di's anxious voice, the entire hall was silent, especially Zhu Fu, Li Wang and others, the corners of their mouths twitched.

His Royal Highness Yan asked you to make a request, but you still think about the little money in the barbecue shop?
"If His Highness disagrees, then the official will not say anything."

Seeing Zhu Di staring at him blankly, Guo An said cautiously.

Zhu Di said angrily: "You thief officer, in your heart, we are people who are greedy for money and not trustworthy?"

"Your Highness forgive me."

Guo An quickly apologized and said, "I am a servant of His Highness at the beginning, so I have no experience."

"No fart experience..."

Zhu Di was enraged by Guo An's words again, and directly said angrily: "You don't have to worry, you guys, we never covet Mo Chen's money, and the money of the barbecue shop will still be distributed to you.

Moreover, if you come up with something to make money in the future, we will still give you a share. "

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Guo An was overjoyed again.

"Ok?"

Looking at the corners of Guo An's mouth that was about to grin below his ears, Zhu Di suddenly noticed something was wrong, "You don't really have other money-making things, do you?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness forgot, isn't fishing in the sea just a way to make money? Also, are the carpenters from the Gongzheng Institute in the house about to manufacture the textile machine arranged by Wei Chen?"

"In a few days, Ying Guogong Fu Youde will arrive at the Bohai Sea with [-] sailors to carry out large-scale fishing. How much money can you earn from fishing?

As for selling some textile machines to the people of Beiping Prefecture, how much money can they make? "

Zhu Di didn't care.

"The sea is vast and boundless, and there are endless big fish in the sea. Even if His Majesty sends [-] sailors to go fishing in the sea, it will not prevent His Highness from making money from fishing."

Guo An smiled lightly, and continued: "As for the looms, Your Highness must not forget the Songjiang Mansion.

The textile machine is not just a craftsman's equipment, behind it is the clothing of the people in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty. "

"Can you really make money?"

Zhu Di's expression changed, but he was still a little unsure.

"Then His Highness will hand over the fishing and the loom to the minister?" Guo An asked tentatively.

This request stunned Zhu Di, Zhu Fu and others.
