Chapter 213: Scholars, It's Time to Show Your Talents!

King Gyeongnai of Goryeo.

Zhu Di and Guo An, as well as Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others, have also fallen into gentle troubles these days.

Chen Shou said with a distressed face: "Your Highness, you can give an edict, those Goryeo magnates, all of them are too shameless!" ”

Hearing this, Guo An also looked helpless, "Yes, Your Highness, they will sacrifice their own daughter to you, forget it!" Even Weichen didn't let go of such a thin Wenchen! ”

Zhang Xing grinned and said: "Hehe, the last general and others have heard that even the Han family gave Guo Changshi a daughter!" ”

Guo Andao: "Your Highness, how did Weichen hear that the Chungju Liu family, the Zhenzhou Liu family, the Pingzhou Park family, the Pingzhou Yu family, the Gushan Kang family, the Gyeongju Kim family, and the Lixing Min family...... These Goryeo nobles all sent young and beautiful women from various families to the commander's mansion? ”

At this time, Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and the others were not calm, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, before those women were sent, the last general and others didn't know.

Moreover, none of the generals and others dared to accept it! ”

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "This king knows about this." Moreover, what Guo Qing said did not mean to accuse! ”

"Your Highness, please!"

Chen Shou and the others hurriedly asked.

"After all, this place is the king of Goryeo, and I, Yanshanwei, only have more than 10,000 people."

Zhu Di asked: "As you know, as early as more than 30 years ago, more than 100,000 Red Turban troops invaded Goryeo and occupied the royal capital of Goryeo.

The king of Goryeo was forced to flee with a group of powerful people, while the Red Turban Army looted and slaughtered the Goryeo people in Wangjing.

And the Goryeo people waited until the Red Turban Army got carried away and just climbed on the belly of the Goryeo woman to have fun, then Li Chenggui infiltrated Wangjing with 2,000 Goryeo elites, killed the leaders of the Red Turban Army, and more than 100,000 Red Turban Army were directly routed everywhere......"

Hearing this, Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and the others looked solemn directly.

"Your Highness, please rest assured, the last general and others will definitely guard against those Goryeo magnates!"

On the side, Guo An said: "For those women sent by the Goryeo magnates, you commanders also need to accept two or three people!" ”

"Huh?"

Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others couldn't help but be full of doubts.

Guo An continued: "Not only do you commanders want to accept it, but Your Highness also needs to accept the three daughters of Goryeo magnates, so as to win over and stabilize the hearts of some Goryeo magnates!" ”

"Three?"

Zhu Di's eyes widened and he looked at Guo An with a surprised face.

"Guo Qing, this king is not interested in women!"

Guo An said: "Your Highness doesn't need to get close to the daughters of those powerful people, you just need to raise them in the palace of the Goryeo king."

The focus is on the powerful people behind those women, as long as His Royal Highness accepts those powerful daughters, those powerful families will believe that His Royal Highness will not embarrass them.

In this way, those powerful people can be bold...... It would be great if those powerful people could rely on their relationship with His Highness to bully and exploit other powerful people......

The same is true for Commander Chen and Commander Zhang, who accept at least two daughters of powerful people, or three......

Since ancient times, people have suffered from inequality.

As long as you take advantage of this, you can divide those Goryeo magnates, and it is best to stir up contradictions, and the whole Goryeo will become dough in the hands of His Highness, and let His Highness knead it! ”

"Moreover, all those Goryeo girls are also beautiful, charming and enchanting, and His Royal Highness and the generals are not at a loss......"

Zhu Di, Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others couldn't help but be a little thoughtful.

Suddenly, Zhu Di remembered something and asked: "So many Goryeo magnates also sent some concubines to Guo Qing, why didn't Guo Qing accept them?" On the contrary, how many people persuaded this king, Chen Shou and Zhang Xing to accept it? ”

Guo An smiled a little embarrassedly, "Weichen is weak, unlike His Royal Highness, Commander Chen and others are military generals, I am afraid that one day those Goryeo women will go crazy and want to assassinate Weichen, Weichen ......"

Zhu Di, Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and others couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths, and their faces were full of weirdness.

However, Guo An has a psychological disorder, but Zhu Di, Chen Shou and others do not.

It's just to accept a few Goryeo girls, anyway, after the founding of Lao Zhu, Goryeo often has the power to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Soon, Zhu Di accepted a woman from a Goryeo magnate.

As for Chen Shou, Zhang Xing and other conductors, they also received one.

Seeing this, all the Goryeo magnates were full of joy.

On the second day, more than a dozen Goryeo magnates will appear in each person's house.

Even in Guo An's mansion, there are more than a dozen.

Zhu Di and Chen Shou and others each received two more.

As for Guo An, he still had some mind about flying colorful flags outside, and directly refused with righteous words.

As a result, when those Goryeo magnates left, everyone looked at Guo An's expression, which was always strange.

Two days later.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Guo An was ready to discuss with Zhu Di about trade with Goryeo.

"Your Highness, there are now more than 30 Goryeo magnates who are close to Your Highness, and there are even ten of them with profound backgrounds, after so many years, they must have accumulated a lot of money in their families, should Your Highness consider trade?"

"Commerce?"

Zhu Di was stunned, and then his eyes lit up.

In the past few days, he has really been immersed in governing Goryeo, and he has almost forgotten the purpose of his visit to Goryeo.

"What are Guo Qing's plans?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, Weichen is ready to send someone to privately inform those Goryeo magnates who are close to His Highness, and talk to them about this matter one by one!"

Whatever goods they want to sell to our Daming, they can be transported to Jianghua Port, loaded onto the fleet of my Yan Wangfu, and transported to Beiping Mansion by the soldiers of my Yan Wangfu for sale.

Then, whatever they want from my Daming, they can also be transported by my Yanwangfu fleet, and then sold to them one by one in Jianghua Port! ”

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "This matter will be arranged by Guo Qing!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Guo An nodded in response.

He's finally ready to get down to business!

After he returned, he directly gathered all the thirty scholars he had brought.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come to truly prove your talents to Your Highness!"

Hearing this, the thirty scholars couldn't help but be full of surprise, they had done so many big things in the past few days, and they were also recruited by His Royal Highness King Yan as the secretary of the Shi Division, the head of the Yan Wang's Mansion.

Didn't they prove their talents to His Royal Highness King Yan a long time ago?

Why do they now feel from Guo Changshi's words that what they did before seems to be the feeling of a child playing at home?

Shang Kezhou opened his mouth and said: "Please also ask Guo Changshi to show me!" ”

"When you were in the academy, you had to go to various yamen in Beiping Mansion every month to be a scribe, to Zhangjiawan Wharf as a deputy manager, to go to various shops to be a deputy shopkeeper, and even to go to the fields to learn to farm......"

Guo An grinned and said proudly: "These things are all our suggestions!" ”

Shang Kezhou, Chang Guoting and other scholars looked at Guo An in surprise.

Guo An continued: "Now, all of you have also joined the Shi Division, the head of the Yanwang Mansion, and they are all your own family members.

You may not understand, why do we do that?

Let's tell you the truth now......"

"You are from very poor backgrounds, even if you are allowed to participate in the imperial examination, or even to become a jinshi, what else can you do except get a reputation?

Even if you become an official, how much money can you receive every year?

To be a clean official, you have to be excluded by those gentry and corrupt officials...... And if you are a corrupt official? Loot the people's fat and ointment, and oppress the poor people of your father's generation? Can your conscience be acceptable?

Even, if you haven't been greedy for a few years, you will be caught by the imperial court, cramping and pulling out your bones, peeling off the skin and grass, why bother? ”

Hearing this, the faces of the scholars changed slightly.

They also all know that it is difficult to be an official of the Ming Dynasty. However, it is certainly much better to be an official than to be a common man.

If it weren't for the poverty of the family, they would all want to be gentry, hide in their homes, and be at ease!

Guo An continued: "Therefore, from the very beginning, we didn't want to train you to be a scholar who only likes the imperial examination.

We want you to become a scholar with real talents and hard work, who can use your talents to serve the country and make money to support your family. ”

"Just like now, your chance has come......"

At this moment, even Shang Kezhou and Chang Guoting had their eyes lit up.

Before they came, they gave each of them twenty taels of treasure bills, which was already very satisfying.

However, after the attack on the royal capital of Goryeo, each of them was rewarded with a hundred taels of silver.

With so much silver, they couldn't earn it in the academy for three years.

And now, looking at Guo Changshi's tone, can they earn more this time?

Although they are not greedy for money, they are also children of poor families, all of them are short of money, and if they can make more money 'reasonably', they are very willing.

A few scholars couldn't bear it anymore and asked excitedly.

"Dare to ask Guo Changshi, what is the opportunity?"

Guo An said: "The Yanwang Mansion is trading with the Goryeo Kingdom!" ”

All the scholars couldn't help but widen their eyes and their faces were full of surprise.

"Guo Changshi, didn't Your Majesty not allow me to trade with these countries? Could it be that His Royal Highness King Yan got His Majesty's permission? ”

"No concessions!"

Guo An shook his head slowly, and then said: "However, don't forget, the king of Goryeo has rebelled, and now the king of Goryeo has been captured by His Royal Highness the King of Yan."

As long as the 100,000 troops of Goryeo led by Cui Ying, Li Chenggui and others return and return to His Royal Highness King Yan, then it is not an exaggeration to call Goryeo the Kingdom of Yan! ”

Thinking of this, all the scholars suddenly understood, and their faces were full of excitement.

However, there are still a few scholars who are more sensible.

"Guo Changshi, when the students were governing the Goryeo royal capital in the past few days, they could still feel that some Goryeo people and magnates were superficially obedient to His Royal Highness King Yan, but they were still secretly harboring ghosts and were unwilling to truly submit to His Royal Highness King Yan......

What if you wait until the 100,000 army led by Cui Ying, Li Chenggui and others returns? They are combined inside and out......"

"It's okay!"

Guo An smiled faintly, "There are some Goryeo people and magnates who are unwilling to submit to His Royal Highness King Yan.

However, how many Goryeo people and magnates are now close to His Royal Highness King Yan? ”

The scholars couldn't help but light up their eyes.

Guo An continued: "Moreover, you can think about it, if His Royal Highness King Yan trades with those Goryeo magnates, even if Cui Ying and Li Chenggui want to continue to rebel and lead troops to attack Goryeo Wangjing? How many Goryeo magnates will stand up to stop it? ”

"Hiss......"

Hearing this, Shang Kezhou and Chang Guoting and other scholars immediately understood Guo An's intentions, and their faces were full of admiration.

In the past few days, they have a deep understanding of the relationship between these Goryeo magnates.

The benefits are more important than all else.

Although the relationship between these Goryeo magnates was even more complicated, when interests conflicted...... Moreover, it seems that His Royal Highness King Yan and those command mansions also have the daughters of so many Goryeo magnates.

Are they all in-laws?

"Guo Changshi is wise!"

Thinking about it, when the scholars looked at Guo An, they couldn't help but be full of admiration!
