Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 301 Zhu Di pours tea and asks Guo Qing to speak bluntly
There was a dead silence in the entire hall.

Zhu Di, Zhu Fu, and Guo An didn't expect that the magistrate of Tongzhou would be so brazen?
The matter of looting and trading Goryeo girls and Japanese girls is so righteous and awe-inspiring.

As for those county magistrates, they were shocked by how this Jiao Zhizhou dared to talk about it so brazenly in front of Yan Wang Zhu Di!

"You guys are really calculating!"

Zhu Di sneered directly, stared at Jiao Jia and said, "How many Korean maidservants and Japanese maidservants do you want, and how much money can you pay, we will send someone to catch you!"

Jiao Jia's complexion changed drastically, he got up quickly, and explained to Zhu Di: "Your Highness misunderstood, I didn't want to satisfy the Koryo maidservant and the Japanese girl, and my family is so poor that I'm afraid I can't even afford a Korean slave." !"

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but stared at Jiao Jia suspiciously for a while, then tsk-tsk-smiled and said, "Then which dignitary are you serving as a pawn?"

"Your Highness misunderstood!"

Jiao Jia hurriedly got up with a face full of panic, bowed respectfully to Zhu Di, and reported solemnly: "His Highness, I just heard that His Highness can capture some slaves from Korea and Japan to serve as slaves for those Korean women and Japan. Women feel unfair and want to rescue them."

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, since he didn't believe Jiao Jia's nonsense, but he didn't continue to ask.

"Okay, let's not talk about this matter again, the paving of the cement road is important, and within ten days, we will count the number of laborers who can be recruited.

So that Guo Qing has an idea in mind, so that he can arrest the laborers! "

Hearing this, Jiao Jia and the other county magistrates looked solemn, and hurriedly bowed their hands in salute.

"I would like to obey His Royal Highness's order!"

In this era when communication is underdeveloped and people have to walk to convey everything, ten days is really a bit tight for these prefects and counties.

Immediately, they quickly bid farewell and left.

Of course, for such a big matter, although Zhu Di can ignore officials such as the Yamen and the chief envoy of Beiping Prefecture.

However, they, the prefects and counties, still have to report to their immediate superiors.

"Zhu Qing, Guo Qing, what's your opinion on the matter between the Korean maid and the Japanese girl?"

When the prefects and prefects retreated, only Zhu Di, Zhu Fu, and Guo An were left in the hall. Zhu Di pondered for a moment, then asked.

"My minister obeys His Highness's orders!"

Guo An can be regarded as Zhu Di directly promoted from a master Bo to a county magistrate, and then promoted to the Youchang Shi of Yanwangfu.

Therefore, although the name is a court official.However, whether it was Guo An himself or all the officials of the Ming Dynasty, they all regarded Guo An as the official of the King of Yan.

As for Zhu Fu, he was really an official of the imperial court.

However, in the age of men in Daming, the status of women was pitifully low.

In particular, some women from foreign vassals are like slaves.

Zhu Fu didn't even think about it, and said directly: "This matter, I will completely follow His Highness's orders!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di didn't ask much.

After a while, Zhu Fu's heart tightened, and he said goodbye to Zhu Di, "His Royal Highness, I suddenly remembered that I still have a lot of government affairs, so I will leave first!"

"Zhu Qing, let's go!"

Zhu Di nodded quickly.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhu Fu arched his hands slightly, then glanced at Guo An with resentment on his face, then turned and left.

"Your Highness, Zhu Changshi is really the pillar of our Yan Wangfu's Chief Shi Si, and I am ashamed to make Zhu Changshi so tired!"

Seeing Zhu Fu going away, Guo An said with a face of shame.

"Yes!"

Zhu Di also subconsciously sighed, and then changed the subject, and said directly: "Guo Qing is also the right-hand man of Yan Palace, why don't you help Zhu Qing with some government affairs!"

Guo An trembled, and then waved his hands again and again, "Your Highness, some government affairs can only be done by one person. If there is a second person to intervene, it is easy to miss or make mistakes, so I have always rarely interfered in the affairs of the Chief Secretary.

Furthermore, Weichen will leave in half a month, so I won't cause Zhu Changshi any trouble! "

"Guo Qing is so eloquent!"

Zhu Di couldn't help looking at Guo An and said with emotion.

Guo An smiled awkwardly, and quickly explained, "Your Highness misunderstood, this humble minister is just lazy."

"Yes, Guo Qing is very lazy."

Zhu Di sighed subconsciously, and a smile just appeared on Guo An's face.

But soon, it froze directly.

Because Zhu Di stared into Guo An's eyes very seriously, "Guo Qing, we really don't understand why a lazy person like Guo Qing has been able to let go of Beiping Mansion in the past two years and only want to go overseas. run."

Guo An smiled sheepishly, and quickly said: "Your Highness misunderstood, I just think that our Beiping Mansion needs a lot of money if we want to develop and repair water conservancy houses and roads.

And Goryeo and Wa Kingdom are the closest to our Beiping Mansion, and these two vassal states also have some money and labor, which can just be borrowed to develop Beiping Mansion. "

"Really?" Zhu Di still looked suspicious.

Guo An nodded heavily, "Your Highness, it is absolutely true!"

Zhu Diwu smiled, picked up an iron pot from the stove beside him, and was about to add water to Guo An's teacup.

"We remember that ever since Guo Qing served as the magistrate of Wanping County, no matter how big the matter was, she never concealed it from us.

We really don't know, over the past few years, what did we do wrong that Guo Qing started to hide it from us? "

Guo An jumped up in fright, with a face full of panic, and said repeatedly.

"Your Highness, don't insult this humble official, I will lose my life, let this kind of matter come to this humble official, and the humble official can just tell the truth!"

Zhu Di smiled slightly, "No need, with Guo Qing's contributions to our Yan Palace, he deserves our cup of tea!"

Afterwards, Zhu Di waved his hand slowly, and all the servants in the hall hurriedly retreated.

"Guo Qing is blunt!"

"Ugh!"

Guo An sighed helplessly, and bowed his hands to Zhu Di, "I didn't intend to deceive Your Highness, I just thought that His Highness, as a party involved, should be more worried."

"Ok?"

Zhu Di's expression froze, "What does Guo Qing mean?"

Guo An said slowly: "Your Highness, do you still remember the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion of the Han Dynasty?"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, then furious, staring at Guo An, "Fart, no matter how unbearable and cruel our brothers are, it is impossible to raise troops..."

Guo An smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, it is impossible for your generation of vassals, but what about the next generation? Or, your Majesty and His Royal Highness also believe that some of you will not, but what about the emperors after His Highness?"

"..."

Zhu Di was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "So, they will cut down the feudal clan?"

Guo Andao: "Your Highness, Your Majesty trusts Your Highness and others, because Your Highness and others are His Majesty's sons and brothers of His Highness the Crown Prince.

His Majesty felt that if His Highness and others had soldiers in their hands, they would be the support of the imperial court and the strongest assistants of His Highness the Crown Prince! "

Zhu Di subconsciously nodded.

"However, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the various vassal kings will also be replaced. Then, how much kinship will still remain between the various vassal kings and His Majesty the Emperor in the court?"

After finishing speaking, Guo An stood up and apologized, "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I am talking nonsense, and I am not ashamed..."

"Okay, okay!"

Zhu Di waved his hands with a face full of irritability, "So, in the future, we in the lineage of King Yan will have to move to Korea and Japan?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, please forgive me, I don't know the temperament of the future king.

However, as long as they are not wiped out, the lineage of King Yan's Mansion can also live in Beiping Mansion, at most they will lose their military power. Anyway, at that time, Koryo and Wa Kingdom will definitely become the countries of His Highness. "

Zhu Di sighed, got up and said to Guo An: "Guo Qing has worked hard!"

"Your Highness is serious, this is the responsibility of the minister!"

Guo An quickly replied.

It was also for self-protection. Since he has been imprinted with the lineage of King Yan, it doesn't matter whether Jing Nan can happen or succeed.

He will work hard for his future!
Zhu Di said with emotion again: "It's just, how should I deal with myself?"

Guo An replied: "Just wait and see what happens!"

"Wait for it to change?"

Zhu Di looked at Guo An subconsciously.

Guo An hurriedly said: "All the ministers listen to His Highness!"

Zhu Di slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Then let's wait and see what happens!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Guo An responded.

Zhu Di asked again: "Guo Qing, what do you think is the action of Tongzhou Zhizhou Jiaojia today?"

Guo An replied honestly: "Please forgive me, Your Highness. I have been overseas often in the past two years, and I don't know that Jiao Zhizhou well!"

Zhu Di said: "We know this person. He is from Ji'an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province. He has been the magistrate of Tongzhou for nearly four years. He has never been promoted, and he has never squeezed money from the people."

Guo An continued to look at Zhu Di, still waiting for Zhu Di to continue talking.

As for Zhu Di, he also looked at Guo An quietly.

Guo An had no choice but to say: "Your Highness, does this person want to make money on this matter?"

"naturally!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "However, it is also possible that this person wants to take advantage of this matter to climb onto the big ship of our Prince Yan's mansion!"

"Also an ambitious person."

Guo An echoed without hesitation.

Zhu Di: "..."

Suddenly lost the interest to continue talking with Guo An.

……

Two days later.

The entire Beiping Mansion was completely boiled because of the construction of the cement road.

Even some chief officials of prefectures and counties came to see Zhu Di eagerly, and wanted to build some concrete roads for their counties.

It's a pity that these prefects and counties didn't even enter the gate of King Yan Palace.

He could only blushing enviously envious of those prefects and counties who were already bustling and bustling, and the gentry under the joint rule recruited labor labor in advance.

ten days later.

"Twelve thousand people?"

Hearing the number of people Zhu Fu said, both Zhu Di and Guo An were shocked.

Zhu Fu reported loudly: "Your Highness, I have heard that the people in Tongzhou, Huo County, Wuqing County, Zhigu, Dagu and other places have actively served when they heard that His Highness wants to pave concrete roads for them.

Even, some people's families, including father and son, all want to serve in the army! "

Guo An said: "There are so many people, then there is no need to go to Koryo and Japan for labor!"

Zhu Di was also full of joy. So many people wanted to serve hard labor, which proved that he was deeply trusted by the people as King Yan.

"We still need to reduce some labor!"

"No need!"

Guo An shook his head quickly.

"What is Guo Qing's strategy?"

Both Zhu Di and Zhu Fu looked at Guo An curiously.

Guo An said: "His Royal Highness, you can make every state and county work hard, and build the cement roads in their nearby counties.

In this way, the cement avenue can be divided into ten sections, or even dozens of sections for paving.

Wait until the end to connect these cement avenues end to end..."

"Excellent!"

Zhu Di nodded in agreement.

Zhu Fu thought for a moment, frowned and said: "Your Highness, it is good to pave so many sections of concrete avenues. However, each section of cement avenue needs to be managed by craftsmen who are proficient in paving concrete avenues. There are not so many craftsmen in our house." !"
