Chapter 311 The Common People Are Rich
However, Guo An never thought that the dozens of people he received were just the first wave of vanguards.

In less than half a month, more and more people from Wanping County and even Daxing County came to buy cement.

In the end, even Zhu Di was alarmed.

"Guo Qing, we heard that many people have started to pay for themselves, want to buy cement, and build houses for them?

In just half a month, not only did he buy out the cement from the cement workshop, but he almost bought the cement for paving the cement avenue? "

Guo An smiled lightly, and replied slowly: "His Royal Highness, there is indeed such a thing. However, the minister has already spread the word that he will no longer sell cement to the outside world this year.

Next year, the cement avenue will be paved, and they can sell cement to them again! "

Zhu Di said: "Guo Qing, didn't you delay the big event of building houses for those common people, can you bring some cement back from Korea?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, the cement used in the sections of the cement avenue at Dagukou was all shipped from Korea.

Weichen did not expect that the people in Wanping County and Daxing County have become so rich in the past two years.

Wei Chen then ordered that the cement workshop in Beiping Prefecture and the cement workshop in Korea be doubled in size! "

"good!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then he also expressed emotion.

"Don't say it's Guo Qing, this king didn't expect that the people in our Beiping Mansion can afford to buy cement and blue bricks to build houses!"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, this is a great thing!"

"It's a great thing!"

Zhu Di said with emotion, "When the common people get rich, so will our Prince Yan's Mansion!"

Guo Andao, "Your Highness is wise!"

Zhu Di added: "However, whether it's Wanping County, Daxing County, or other prefectures and counties, those people can't just focus on growing peppers and abandon food!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Your Highness, as soon as you find such a sign, I will correct it in time!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded again.

at the same time.

The gentry in Wanping County, Daxing County, and Tongzhou were also very happy.

The steward of the Huang family ran into the mansion from the outside with a full face of excitement, "Master, the green bricks fired by the four brick kilns in our mansion have been sold out!"

Huang Bi looked surprised, "So fast?"

"Yes, sir, it's not enough to sell at all!"

The steward said: "Master, there are still two households in East Village, three households in Lijiazhuang, and six households in Ding Village...

At least [-] households want to buy blue bricks. Will we build two more kilns in our house? "

"Twenty households?"

Huang Bi narrowed his eyes in thought, and after a while, he waved his hands and said, "No need!"

"Yes, sir!"

The steward responded, and then asked, "Sir, do you want to increase the price?"

"Price increase?"

Huang Bi stared, and looked at the steward in disbelief, his face full of solemnity.

"No price hikes are allowed, and we are not allowed to secretly do those things that are not good enough for us!"

"master?"

The steward was a little puzzled.

"Humph!"

Huang Bi sternly said: "The common people can be bullied, but the Palace of King Yan cannot be bullied. It was very hard for us to gain the goodwill of His Royal Highness Yan King and Guo Changshi.

It's only been a long time for those farmers to donate green bricks, and they have already made a lot of money.

In the future, you will earn more. "

"If I continue to make black-hearted money with no conscience, and annoy Guo Changshi, the Yan Palace will inevitably build many brick kilns directly. From now on, let alone whether the brick kilns of our Huang family can survive, let alone think about it." You can make money!"

"But, the young master is the second place in the ranking, and he is also a Beijing official..."

"Hmph, His Royal Highness King Yan is still a prince!"

"Pass it on, no one in my Huang family is allowed to bully the people by relying on the Huang family! Otherwise, the master will definitely punish him severely!"

"Yes, sir!"

The steward hurriedly responded, and then when he was about to leave, he remembered something and stopped again.

"What else?"

"My lord, I heard that the brick kiln in Li Yuanwai's house has not only increased by [-]%, but also a lot of green bricks are fake..."

"Humph!"

Huang Bi snorted softly, "That old man is looking for death, so don't worry about it."

"Yes, sir!"

……

The capital is Yingtian City.

The two tigers walked quickly into Fengtian Hall.

In the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang is leading the new emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi to review the memorial.

"The minister sees His Majesty, sees His Royal Highness Taisun!"

"What's the matter?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan has sent someone to send this year's fleet silver and the Japanese tribute silver!"

Erhu hurriedly reported.

"Very good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked happy, and asked, "How much silver did the fourth brother hand in this year?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are 50 taels of silver, all kinds of gold utensils, and there are ten boxes in total!
There are some treasures and some rare items left. "

"You go and bring someone to count it carefully for us, and register it!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Erhu hurriedly responded, and withdrew.

On the side, Zhu Yunwen looked at the unconcealable joy in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the emperor, how much silver did the fourth uncle hand over?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunwen, and said slowly: "The fleet trading with Korea is 150 million taels of silver, and the Japanese kingdom will hand over 100 million taels of silver to us!"

"250 million taels?"

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of shock.

"Fourth Uncle turned in so much?"

"Ok!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, "Yun Wen, if any vassal king wants to lead troops to attack the vassal state in the future, let them go.

When we build a vassal state, they will hand over 100 million taels of silver to us every year. After five years, the background accumulated by those vassal states over the years will be collected by the court.

The remaining poor and white vassal states should be completely handed over to those vassal kings. They can do whatever they want, and they don't have to feel bad! "

"Yes, Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Yunwen responded quickly.

"Ok!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, then picked up the next memorial and read it.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen, who was at the side, also picked up a memorial and read it slowly.

"what?"

Suddenly, Zhu Yunwen exclaimed in a low voice.

"Yun Wen, what happened?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a gentle face.

Zhu Yunwen quickly handed the memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Grandfather, someone actually impeached Duke Liang?"

"Oh?"

A trace of curiosity flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, he took the memorial and looked at it curiously.

The more he looked, the darker his face became.

"Come on!"

"Call the Commander of Jinyiwei, Jiang Yu!"

"..."

……

Beiping Prefecture.

As the weather gradually became colder, the snow in Beiping Mansion had already covered a crop, and the construction sites in Beiping Mansion began to gradually stop.

Only more than half of the cement road from Zhangjiawan Wharf to Dagukou has been built.

However, there is a trend of craftsmen in Beiping Mansion.

"Guo Qing, we heard that you posted a notice to recruit a large number of craftsmen?"

"Returning to Your Highness, I have been fond of crafting since I was a child, and I think crafting can make some.

And it just so happens that in the past few years, the humble minister may stay in Beiping Mansion, just to collect some craftsmen! "

"Then why not use the name of Prince Yan's Mansion?"

Zhu Di was a little puzzled.

Guo An was taken aback, and then quickly explained: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand, I just think that there are enough craftsmen in the house!"

"not much!"

Zhu Di said directly, "We don't even have a decent masonry workshop in our house!"

Guo Andao: "Your Highness, there is not much profit from green bricks, and now the gentry in Beiping Mansion have also built brick kilns, and the profits from the brick kilns are given to them!"

Zhu Di thought for a while, then looked at Guo An in surprise, "Guo Qing, are you going to subdue all those gentry?"

Guo An quickly shook his head, "Your Highness, I don't have such big ambitions."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.

Guo An continued: "However, if those gentry want to make money, they have to follow our Yan Palace honestly.

This time, those gentry were smart and followed our Yan Palace to donate some blue bricks to the people who suffered from the disaster. "

"Such a kind act not only advertised their blue bricks, but also made those farmers know them again.

In just a few months, the money they earned was several times what they donated green bricks! "

"good!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "If these gentry want to make money, they have to follow our Yan Palace honestly!"

Guo An: "..."

We didn't mean the same thing!

At this time.

A Yanshan guard ran in from the door.

"His Royal Highness, Guo Changshi, Xu Qianhu and three thousand brothers have returned from the country of Wa, and the fleet has already docked at Dagukou!"

"Xu Xiang is back?"

Both Zhu Di and Guo An were delighted.

"Quickly dispatch the convoy to meet Xu Xiang!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

As the soldiers went down, Zhu Di looked at Guo An again, "Guo Qing, we also need a large number of craftsmen and scribes in the Yan Palace. We want to recover the entire Goryeo and conquer the entire Wa Kingdom!"

"Your Highness, that humble minister offered rewards to those merchants, asking them to search for various craftsmen for the Yan Palace!"

"good!"

……

ten days later.

Xu Xiang and Tan communicated with thousands of households and returned to Yanwang Mansion.

"At the end of the day, I will meet His Royal Highness King Yan, and meet Guo Changshi and Zhu Changshi!"

"Everyone, please get up!"

Zhu Di laughed loudly and said, "Ma He, quickly tell the kitchen to serve us hot pot and fruit juice!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Not a moment after Ma He left, a team of servants came in with pots of steaming copper pots.

In an instant, the entire hall was filled with a strong meat aroma.

"Xu Xiang, Tan Tong, what's the situation in Wa Kingdom?"

After he was half full, Zhu Di began to ask questions.

"Reporting to Your Highness, now in the country of Wa, four big landlords have completely surrendered to our Yan Palace."

"Hey, Your Highness, those Japanese people are really cheap. The general and others have killed so many Japanese, and they are respectful to the general and others. Even if the general and others insult them, they are full of face Respect!"

"However, these Japanese despise those Koreans from the bottom of their hearts, and they are not afraid of Koreans..."

"Very good, this king wants to conquer Goryeo and Wa as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, according to Guo Changshi's instructions, the general finally found two mines in the country of Wa!"

"Huh? Can it be captured?"

"Your Highness, what those Japanese value most are some iron ore and food, and they don't actually pay much attention to those mines!"

"good……"

……

As Xu Xiang, Tan Tong and other generals came back with three thousand Yanshan Guards, the entire Beiping Mansion began to laugh again.

Subsequently.

Under Zhu Di's leadership, more than 2 Yanshan Guards began another wave of year-end bounty distribution.

As a result, the military households in Beiping Mansion began to get rich again.

Each family received at least another 30 yuan.

These military households are also starting to get a little ready to move!
