Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

"Ok?"

After three drinks and five dishes, Guo An suddenly remembered something and his expression froze.

"Shizhong, do you have any heirs?"

There was a sudden silence in the entire main hall, and everyone looked at Jin Zhong with strange expressions.

In this era, being childless is the greatest shame for a man.

Jin Zhong was not angry, but his face was slightly red. He slightly cupped his hands towards Guo An and murmured: "Back to the Marquis, I am ashamed that I have no heirs yet!"

Guo An asked: "Can you find a famous doctor to diagnose?"

Jin Zhongdao: "Back to Lord Marquis, when I was in Peiping, I went to find good doctors in my house, but nothing worked!"

"Then we'll look for him again. Now that we have a glorious ancestor, how can we have no heirs? Isn't it a great regret in life?"

As he said that, Guo An glared fiercely at Shang Kezhou, Chang Guoting and others.

"You all have children, but you let Shi Zhong do nothing. What a bunch of unscrupulous friends!"

Shang Kezhou couldn't help but laugh and said: "Master Hou Mingjian, Brother Jin's disease cannot be cured by Han Liang doctors. Who else in the Ming Dynasty can treat it?"

"Humph!"

Guo An snorted coldly, "Shizhong has not been injured or has any illness. Why is he so ill? Don't talk nonsense!"

"And you, Shizhong, since you can exercise the power of a man, you are not ill. As for the fact that you still have no heirs after so many years, it can only be because the tadpoles in your body are too little active, or your method is inappropriate... You should do more Exercise your body and bones, have more sexual intercourse, and seek more medical treatment from good doctors...

From what we see, you are not a childless person! "

"Really?"

Jin Zhong's face suddenly became overjoyed.

"When have we ever lied to you?"

Guo An smiled softly. Jin Zhong did have an heir. It was just that he had a son in old age a year before his death.

However, he felt that it was probably because of the poor quality of Jin Zhong's tadpoles, coupled with his early disappointment and failure to cultivate the land well, that he had no heirs. It was not until he was old that he gave out his second spring, and then he planted them. Heir!
"Thank you Hou Ye!"

Jin Zhong quickly thanked Guo An, poured a large bowl of wine, and drank it.

"Congratulations, Brother Jin!"

"Congratulations, Brother Jin!"

"..."

Shang Kezhou, Chang Guoting and others also congratulated him.

"Haha, thank you all!"

Jin Zhong drank another large bowl of wine, his eyes red with excitement.

Guo An said that if he could have an heir, he would definitely have one!
Jin Zhong, Shang Kezhou and others have long believed in Guo An's words.

"in addition……"

Guo An nodded slightly and looked at the people below again.

"We know that most of you come from poor families, even if you are from a gentry or merchant family, you are still a small gentry or a small businessman!

In the past, when you were in Yan State, the officials in Beiping Prefecture didn't think much of it.

But now, if you come back to the capital and become an official in the capital, or go to Yunnan, Fujian, or Guangdong to become an official, you can control the life and death of more than [-], or even hundreds of thousands, of people, and involve a lot of interests..."

"Therefore, those officials and merchants will inevitably use various methods to please you like hunting, but they are much more sophisticated than the dignitaries of Yan State...

Invite you to drink and eat, and arrange for young girls... to give you gifts, all kinds of gold and silver... to farm fields...

Even, start with a group of relatives from your hometown..."

"You must have heard this a lot, but I still remind you that nothing is free in this world. The price is already marked the moment it is given to you...

Some things are just human nature. If you fall into the trap of those gentry and merchants and are caught by them, they will corrupt and exploit the people...

Everyone, we won’t be able to save you until then.

Moreover, you should also understand at all times that the Ming Dynasty can still operate as usual without anyone, even if I, Guo An, are not there, it is not a big deal..."

"You should remember what happened to those arrogant and domineering founders during the time of Emperor Taigaozu..."

Hearing this, Jin Zhong, Shang Kezhou and others couldn't help but express their expressions, and bowed their hands to Guo An with solemn faces.

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

"We just don't hope that in a few years, we will hear the news that your homes have been confiscated and your clans have been exterminated!"

Guo An sighed softly.Then, he waved his hand and said, "Come on, you guys finally come to our house. I won't say these spoiler words and enjoy the food and wine!"

"Master Marquis, I would like to propose a toast to you..."

"Master Hou..."

……

"Dinghaihou really told Jin Zhong and Shang Kezhou officials like this?"

In Fengtian Hall, Zhu Di looked at Zhao Hu in front of him in surprise.

On the side, Zhu Gaochi also looked strange.

Zhao Hu said solemnly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, these words are the original words of Marquis Dinghai. Wei Chen and others have not changed a word!"

"Guo Qing is still so straightforward!"

Zhu Di nodded helplessly, "Okay, we already know, you can go down first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Hu nodded slightly and then retreated.

Zhu Gaochi said with some worry: "Dad, Jin Zhong, Shang Kezhou and others were promoted from the Yan Kingdom. I wonder if they can adapt to the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty..."

"No need to worry!"

Zhu Di waved his hand casually, "Don't underestimate Jin Zhong, Shang Kezhou and others!"

"Yes, Dad!"

……

Two days have passed since Jin Zhong, Shang Kezhou and others came to visit.

Liu Sheng entered the Dinghaihou Mansion with two personal guards and two pamphlets.

"I will see you at last, Lord Marquis!"

"Okay, okay, you and I don't need to be so polite!"

Guo An waved his hand helplessly and motioned Liu Sheng to sit aside.

Seeing this, Liu Sheng just smiled, found a seat very skillfully, and sat down.

"Master Hou, this month's school entrance examination results are out!"

"How's it going?"

Guo An took it casually, looked at it, and asked.

Liu Sheng said with a happy face: "Reporting to the Marquis, all the brothers in the Shenji Camp can basically read [-] words each!"

"Very good!"

Guo An nodded with satisfaction. Five hundred words were enough for daily needs.

Then, he continued to ask: "Where is the arithmetic?"

Liu Sheng replied again: "Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of three-digit numbers are all fine!"

"it is good!"

Guo An was even more happy, "They finally became a real Shenji camp soldier!"

"..."

Liu Sheng was startled, his face full of surprise.

"Master Marquis, have they truly become soldiers of the Shenji Battalion?"

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

Liu Sheng said: "Master Hou, the performance of the sons of the Shenji Camp in places such as Fujian and Yunnan has far exceeded those of the hundreds and thousands of households in the Ming Dynasty military camp!"

"Give them such good resources, and if they don't perform well, then they should be held accountable!"

Guo An smiled faintly, "Since they can already read five hundred words, three-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, their cultural courses can be changed!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis..."
