Chapter 61: Why didn't anyone make a statement to the emperor about this matter?

It starts the next day.

The name of the meat flavor of His Royal Highness Yanwang's barbecue shop began to spread completely in Beiping Mansion.

Zhu Di ignored this, and was still immersed in the pleasure of making money, and did not come out.

However, within two days, Zhu Di noticed that something was wrong and found Guo An, full of dissatisfaction.

"This king is a dignified Yan King, and he is widely known in Beiping Mansion because of his business, which is really embarrassing."

"How can Your Highness say that?"

Guo An was stunned, and then said with a dissatisfied face: "Although it is a small barbecue shop, behind it is a huge group of people raising poultry and livestock, and there is the hope of more than 300 disabled soldiers!" ”

"The most important thing is, didn't Your Highness say that this barbecue shop only needs to be opened for a year, and it can replace the three guards of Yanshan with a stubble of steel armor?

In this way, the barbecue shop can also be the hope of tens of thousands of soldiers and generals of Yanshan Sanwei.

Your Highness thinks about it, if the three guards of Yanshan are all wearing full-body iron armor and go with His Highness to conquer the Northern Yuan, wouldn't it be the Northern Yuan army that can be killed? ”

There was a bright light in Zhu Di's eyes, and after he reacted, he glared at Guo An, "That can't let this king bear the name of a prince of Shangjia!" ”

"It turns out that His Highness is worried, and his opinion in the minds of the people is ah!" Guo An smiled.

"Into the ......"

Zhu Di was furious, although Guo An was smiling, but in Zhu Di's opinion, the thief was laughing at him.

"If this matter reaches Beiping, the emperor will definitely issue an edict to reprimand the palace chief and the king."

As he spoke, Zhu Di remembered something, turned his head to look at Guo An, and a wicked smile flashed in his eyes.

"Especially, what do you think it would be if you let the emperor know that it was your idea to have a barbecue shop?"

"This ......"

Guo An's face changed greatly, and he scolded in his heart, Zhu Laosi, a black-hearted thief, was simply crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

"Your Highness, this matter must not be allowed!"

Zhu Di smiled helplessly, "Do you think this matter is what this king can do?" ”

"Your Highness, if the merchants from the south come to eat and barbecue in the future, they will all have to pay for it with grain.

Or, as long as a southern merchant brings a stone of grain from the south, the shop can directly send him a skewer of barbecue.

If you bring in 100 stone of grain from the south, you don't have to queue up at the barbecue shop with food stamps!

Or, if you bring in 500 stone of grain, not only do you not have to queue, but you can also eat as much as you want in the restaurant......"

Guo An said helplessly.

No, Zhu Di's face was full of joy when he heard it, "This method is very good, in this way, those businessmen who love to be cheap will inevitably bring more food when they come from the south, as long as there is a vacant space on the ship!"

It can also reverse the impression of this king in the hearts of the people and the court! ”

Guo An: "......"

Zhu Di felt that it was not enough, and continued to catch Guo An and asked: "My father has always said that I am a martial artist, and I will only lead troops to fight, and I will not govern places.

Now, this king has reclaimed 2,000 hectares of wasteland, and it will be a bumper harvest year when grain is planted in the spring of next year.

And now, the king has also built a farm, and has raised tens of thousands of horses, cows, sheep, chickens and ducks!

There is also a barbecue shop, which allows those businessmen who want to come to Beiping Mansion to make money, and honestly keep the money they earn in Beiping, and will also send a large amount of food to Peiping Mansion.

However, this king always feels that there is still something missing, and you can tell this king again. ”

"This king is going to impress his father!"

Guo An: "......"

Zhu Di was furious: "What kind of eyes do you have?"

Guo An replied: "Since Your Highness wants to govern Beiping, the lower officials think that they can greatly promote education and develop industry!" ”

"Education and industry?"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little puzzled: "The king of education knows, but there has always been a shortage of education in the north, there is no great Confucianism, and even the family is rare."

Even, to open a few private schools, it will cost at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.

If this matter wants to prosper, it is quite intolerable, and it will be discussed later.

The king is curious, what is industry? ”

"Your Highness, the worker, the craftsman! Industry is based on skilled craftsmen, so that they can develop better objects and help Beiping Mansion prosper quickly! ”

Guo An said.

"What?"

Zhu Di's face changed, and he stared at Guo An tightly, "What nonsense are you talking about?" Since ancient times, agriculture has been the cornerstone of the country, and craftsmen are just cheap jobs! Now you want to encourage the king to pay attention to craftsmen? ”

Guo An said lightly: "Since His Royal Highness wants to make Beiping Mansion prosperous quickly, His Majesty thinks that it is necessary to jointly pay attention to the development of industry, agriculture and commerce.

Agriculture is solid and the country is strong, the industry is strong, and the business is rich.

Of course, these are just the humble opinions of the lower officials, if there is anything wrong, please don't take it to heart. ”

"Foolishness?"

Zhu Di glared at Guo An fiercely, "You thief don't want to give us a sloppy look, this is the first time this king has heard someone say that work can make the country strong!"

The Han and Tang dynasties regarded industry and commerce as cheap industries, and now you actually tell this king that industry can flourish in Beiping?

Aren't you, a thief, coming to deceive this king again? ”

Guo An said casually: "Xiaguan just said that, Your Highness don't care!" ”

Zhu Di said: "How can this king not care? Now that you have said it, you must be sure that you can make the industry prosperous in Beiping! ”

Guo An shook his head again and again, "The lower official didn't!" ”

"No?"

Zhu Di was furious, "If you don't have it, you have to have it!" ”

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is really ......"

"One hundred taels of silver!"

"I don't know if His Highness has an iron smelter?"

"You thief ......"

Zhu Di was angry, "I have it!" ”

Guo An said: "As long as His Highness gives His Highness ten skilled craftsmen, within two months, His Highness should be able to double the iron-making speed of His Highness's Iron Smelting Plant." I don't know, so provable? ”

Zhu Di was taken aback, "Is that really the case?" ”

Guo An said: "When did the lower official deceive His Highness? ”

Zhu Di said directly: "Tomorrow, this king will send you ten skilled craftsmen, and send someone to take you to this king's ironmaking workshop!" ”

Guo An's face was happy, "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

Then, he said again: "However, Xiaguan has one more request. ”

Zhu Di's face turned angry, "You thief official, now you dare to say conditions to this king?" ”

Guo An smiled lightly, in the past few months, he has also figured out Zhu Di's temper.

Although Zhu Laosi is a little quick-tempered, he is not such a tyrannical person. Moreover, he also likes people with strong abilities, especially his kind.

Although Zhu Laosi looked angry, he was actually not angry.

"Your Highness, the official also asked His Highness to keep this matter secret for the official."

"Accurate!"

"Also, Your Highness asks His Highness to pay the salaries of the skilled craftsmen sent!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's face turned dark.

"Do you know that there has never been such a precedent since ancient times?"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Xiaguan knows!" ”

"But Your Highness, these craftsmen do those hard and hard work every day with their own crafts, and they can only receive some subsistence food every month, and when they eat this food, the wives and children of the family have no food to eat.

Your Highness thinks about it carefully, these craftsmen can only use less every day, and try to save some food to take back to support their families.

But if the craftsmen do the same thing, and they can't eat enough every day, where will they have the strength to work?

In this way, it is Your Highness who loses in the end! ”

These are very simple truths, as soon as Guo An said this, Zhu Di quickly understood.

"Why hasn't anyone spoken to the emperor about this matter?"
