A moment later.

A large pile of fresh and tender green vegetables was carefully placed in the Fengtian Hall by a group of guards.

"Father, this ......"

Zhu Biao leaned down his fat body with some difficulty, buried his head in front of the pile of vegetables and looked at them one by one for a long time, and then slowly got up, his face full of excitement.

"Father, the fourth child really planted vegetables in Beiping, this is really a great blessing!"

Lao Zhu also stared at the big eyes, and took the bunch of vegetables in front of him one by one and looked through them one by one, his face was full of joy, and he was even more excited than Zhu Biao.

"This is indeed a newly planted vegetable, we thought that the fourth bastard wanted to plant vegetables in winter, or the cold land of Beiping, it was whimsical, but I didn't expect it to be really planted."

As he spoke, Lao Zhu raised his head and looked at the two tigers on the side.

"Is the person who sent Fury still there?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the last general has arranged for someone to take them to rest." Erhu hurriedly replied.

"Very good."

Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction, "Each person will be rewarded with another hundred taels of silver." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Erhu hurriedly responded and retreated.

In the main hall, Lao Zhu looked at the vegetables in front of him again and walked around excitedly twice, and then directly took out a courgette, regardless of the ice residue still frozen on the courgette, he wiped it directly with his hand, put it in his mouth, and ate it with a click.

"Biao'er, when we were young, the poor family didn't even have enough chaff every day, who would have thought that now we are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and even in winter, the fourth child of our family can still grow such tender and sweet vegetables in winter?"

"Biao'er, you can also taste it, the courgettes from the old four kinds are sweeter and crisper than the courgettes grown by the people in Zhejiang and Fujian......

"Yes, Father!"

Zhu Biao also picked up a courgette, carefully wiped it a few times, and then put it in his mouth, took a bite lightly, and frowned slightly.

Ice, hard!

As for the so-called sweet crunch, none of them.

However, Zhu Biao still endured and ate it.

"Father, what do you do with so many vegetables?"

Lao Zhu Hu's body was shocked, and he snorted coldly and said: "Didn't those ministers all complain to you that the fourth child is in Beiping Mansion, and he hires a group of people to do some strange and skillful things all day long, and he doesn't do anything about production.

Then let's use the two carts of vegetables offered by the fourth child to hold a Furui banquet, let them all see for themselves, how much importance does the fourth child who can grow vegetables in winter pay attention to farming?

Look at whether these ministers still have the face to say that the fourth child is not engaged in farming......"

"Father is wise!"

Hearing this, Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, thinking of the expressions of those ministers after seeing these vegetables from the old four, his whole body revealed a comfortable energy.

Soon, as Lao Zhu's will was handed down, the entire Yingtianfu Context, the hundreds of military officials and nobles, one by one, were full of disbelief.

In the bitter cold land of Beiping, the land is as stiff as hard stone in winter, and there is no grass, so you can still grow vegetables?

No matter what you think, the civil officials can't think of how King Yan can grow vegetables, does that King Yan dare to bully the king?

As for those generals and nobles, their faces were full of joy.

Especially, after waiting for a news to come out of the Zhongshan Palace, the generals were even more proud.

And those civil servants were dumbfounded, did the Yan King of Beiping Mansion really grow vegetables?

Immediately, news came from Beiping Mansion one after another.

The Yanwang Mansion distributed vegetables to the courtiers and subordinates.

Yanwangfu sells vegetables to the people of Beiping Mansion.

A pound of vegetables and a tael of silver, but the gentry and merchants of the entire Beiping Mansion are scrambling to buy it?

At least thousands of catties of vegetables were sold in one day......

Suddenly, some people were shocked, and some people were red-eyed.

Even Lao Zhu scolded the bastard indignantly.

However, Beiping Mansion is thousands of miles away from Yingtianfu, and even if you have other ideas, it will be useless.

Immediately afterwards, with the beginning of the Furui feast, the ministers in the capital also stopped.

There is no way to stop, there is Lao Zhu suppressing them, and they don't dare to have any substantive thoughts about those princes of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, it is also the king of swallows who can grow vegetables in winter!

And in Pek Binh Province.

After receiving Lao Zhu's will, Zhu Di flashed a cold light in his eyes, and said hatefully: "These bastards who eat inside and out." ”

Looking at the list handed over by Zhu Liang and others, Guo An was also full of hatred.

"Your Highness, these fools dare to complain to those courtiers in Yingtian City and frame Your Highness, their sweaters, iron stoves, glass, and vegetables are gone this year.

Not only is it gone this year, but it will not be there next year. ”

Zhu Di said coldly: "Hmph, it's time to teach these gentry some lessons." ”

"Wechen understands."

Guo An nodded solemnly, and then directly in front of Zhu Di, Zhu Fu and others, he instructed Zhu Liang and Li Wang below.

"The lord humiliated the ministers to death, these gentry were so immoral, seeing that the wind was rain, they complained to His Royal Highness to the ministers of the capital division, which led His Majesty to apply for His Royal Highness, and this revenge had to be avenged.

Order, all the shops in our house are not allowed to sell a single object to these fools from now on. ”

"Yes, Guo Changshi!"

Zhu Liang and Li Wang hurriedly responded.

Zhu Fu's eyelids twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.

As for Zhu Di, he went to the inner court with an expressionless face.

Not to mention the power of the Yan Wangfu itself, even if it is the important identity of controlling all the glass, vegetables, charcoal, iron stoves, and sweater upper workshops in Beiping Mansion.

As soon as the ban on the Yan Wangfu came out, those gentry felt uncomfortable.

The lack of charcoal, iron stoves, sweaters, and vegetables didn't affect them too much.

However, some officials, gentry, merchants, and even some ordinary people, because of their cooperation with the shops under the Yan Wang's mansion, were worried about being affected, and they were all subconsciously alienating them.

Overnight, those gentry experienced the taste of rebellion and rebellion against the entire Beiping Mansion.

Thereupon.

After holding out for a few days, the gentry all brushed their brushes and begged for forgiveness.

It's just that they haven't killed chickens and monkeys for a long time, how could Zhu Di and Guo An let go so easily.

At the same time.

With the news that Yanwang planted vegetables in winter, it also spread to Shanxi, Shaanxi, Shandong, Henan and other places.

The kings of Qin, Jin, Zhou, Qi, and Lu all sent people to Beiping Mansion, and the purpose was self-evident.

In this regard, Zhu Di had all kinds of helplessness, and he could only send two truckloads of glass and one cart of vegetables to each brother.

Naturally, the vegetables of Ying Tianfu are also inevitable.

A hundred acres of greenhouses is still missing!

Regarding these acts of the Prince of Daming coming to rob, Guo An looked at it and felt a pain in his heart.

You must know that even he can only send a large cart of vegetables to his hometown in Shunde Mansion every ten days.

And this time, so much was sent directly to these princes.

But the distress is distressed, and the days have to live.

It is said that Lao Zhu's official is difficult to do, unless he is beheaded, or he basically has to be a cow and a horse for Lao Zhu's family throughout the year, and he works hard and complains.

If someone complains about this, Guo An may have the same sad face and empathy on the surface, but there is no moral sympathy in his heart.

Other officials can basically only rest for three days a year, namely the Chinese New Year, the winter solstice, and Lao Zhu's birthday.

As for the rest, sick leave, as for sick leave, the review is even stricter.

However, when Guo An came here, it was a leave.

In the Yan Palace, most of the government affairs of the palace were in charge of Zhu Fu.

As for the eating, drinking, and entertainment of His Royal Highness King Yan, those eunuchs or a group of military generals and guards are in charge.

The only thing left for Guo An, the right long history, is to make money, or to work in the main office and the iron smelting office.

And these two offices basically have workers or stewards in charge.

Therefore, Guo An is extremely relaxed.

At the same time, the money earned for Yanwangfu can also make Zhu Di grin when he sleeps.

Naturally, Guo An has some overly demanding requirements, and Zhu Di will meet them.

During the Chinese New Year, it is easy to give 20 days off.

Although it is relatively hurried to go back to my hometown, if there is heavy snow on the road, or something major happens, the leave can be postponed.

So, early, Guo An said goodbye to Zhu Di and rushed back to Guojia Village, Shunde Prefecture.

met with the elders, or with the parents of Shunde Mansion for a day.

It's Chinese New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve.

The New Year's customs of the Ming Dynasty are actually similar to the customs of later generations.

They are all lanterns, worship ancestors, eat dumplings, eat delicious food, go to relatives and friends, and pay attention to a reunion and liveliness.

And when it comes to Guo An, it is necessary to add an engagement, send a letter of appointment, Najib, recruitment, and an invitation.

In the few days after returning home, Guo An's tasks were very heavy.

It is mainly Guo and Liu's two families, both of which can be regarded as scholarly families, and the three books and six ceremonies must be complete.

And Guo Anyuan was on an errand in Beiping Mansion, and finally came back for this trip.

In addition, both parties are older, so Guo's father and Liu's father discussed it and arranged the process to be compact.

So, as soon as the invitation period ended, Guo An's leave was also consumed, so he hurriedly took Guo Erniu and a few guards to Beiping Mansion.

The eighteenth year of Hongwu passed like this.

Guo An felt like a dream, he watched hundreds of officials being killed, and then he became a county magistrate in a daze, and finally changed the boss and followed Zhu Di.

Then, the entire shop and workshop of Yanwang's Mansion can be left to his own devices.

And in this hurry, most of the tasks that he did not complete in his later life have been completed in this life.

not only earned tens of thousands of taels of silver, but also booked a daughter-in-law who admired him a little.

If it is left in the afterlife, it will be a proper winner in life.

It's a pity that in this era of nothing, the task is still very arduous.

Thinking casually, a figure walked in from outside the public house.

"See Guo Changshi."

Guo An's thoughts were closed, and after seeing the person in his eyes clearly, he said with a gentle expression.

"Xu Gong is getting up quickly."

"Thank you, Guo Changshi."

The person who came was the worker's work.

Guo An asked, "Xu Gong is coming to look for us, but what's the matter?" ”

"Back to Guo Changshi, as the weather gradually warms, His Royal Highness King Yan ordered that the young men of the glass workshop should start going home."

Xu Yun hurriedly replied, "I don't know what other arrangements Guo Changshi has?" ”

"Tell those young men to clean up their respective workshops, and write down some of the young men who have performed well, so that if they are idle in the future, they can be called to continue working."

Guo An said.

Xu Yun responded: "Yes, Guo Changshi." ”

Guo An continued: "Also, have the wages and bonuses of these craftsmen been settled? ”

Xu Yun said: "Back to Guo Changshi, it's all settled." ”

"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "I will personally take the time to find a few young people and ask them, and no steward is allowed to deduct the wages and bonuses of these young people." ”

Xu Yun looked furious, "Yes, Guo Changshi." ”

Guo An instructed again: "In addition, the workshops near the iron smelting plant have also been repaired, and according to the drawings we gave you, they will be built with cement, and we will send people to study some new things." ”

Xu Yun perked up and hurriedly responded: "Yes, Guo Changshi." ”

Subsequently, Guo An explained in detail, and Xu Yun retired with a red face.
