Chapter 311: The People Are Rich
It's just that Guo An never expected that his reception of these dozens of people was just the first wave of vanguards.
In the next less than half a month, more and more people in Wanping County, and even people in Daxing County, came to buy cement.
In the end, even Zhu Di was shocked.
"Guo Qing, we heard that many people have begun to pay for themselves and want to buy cement and build houses for them?
In just half a month, not only did the cement of the cement workshop be bought out, but even the cement for the construction of the cement avenue was almost bought? ”
Guo An smiled faintly and replied slowly: "Your Highness Qiqi, there is indeed such a thing. However, Wechen has already spread the word that cement will no longer be sold to the outside world this year.
By next year, the cement avenue will be paved and they will be able to sell cement again! ”
Zhu Di said: "Guo Qing, didn't it delay the major event of those people building houses, can you bring back some cement from Goryeo?" ”
Guo An said: "Your Highness, the cement used in the cement avenues in those sections of Dagukou is all transported from Goryeo.
Weichen didn't expect that the people of Wanping County and Daxing County would be so rich in the past two years.
Weichen ordered that the cement workshop in Beiping Mansion and the cement workshop in Goryeo should be doubled together! ”
"Good!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then he also sighed.
"Don't say it's Guo Qing, and this king didn't expect that now the people of our Beiping Mansion can afford to buy cement and green 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 people are rich, our Yan Wangfu will also be rich!" ”
Guo An said, "Your Highness is wise! ”
Zhu Di said: "However, whether it is Wanping County, Daxing County, or other states and counties, those people can't just focus on planting chili peppers and abandon food!" ”
Guo An nodded slightly, "Your Highness, rest assured, as long as you find such signs, Wechen will correct them in time!" ”
"Hmm!"
Zhu Di nodded again.
At the same time.
The major gentry of Wanping County, Daxing County, and Tongzhou were also very happy.
The steward of the Huang family ran all the way into the mansion from the outside with a happy face, "Master, the green bricks fired by the four brick kilns in our house 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 20 households want to buy green bricks, do we build two more kilns in our house? ”
"Twenty households?"
Huang Bi squinted and pondered, and after a while, he waved his hand directly and said, "No! ”
"Yes, sir!"
The steward replied and asked, "Master, is that going to increase the price?" ”
"Price increase?"
Huang Bi's eyes widened, and he glanced at the steward in disbelief, his face full of solemnity.
"It's not allowed to raise prices, and it's not allowed to secretly do those shoddy things for us!"
"Sir?"
The steward was a little puzzled.
"Humph!"
Huang Bi said sharply: "The people can be bullied, but the Yanwang Mansion cannot be bullied." It was not easy for us to gain the favor of His Royal Highness King Yan and Guo Changshi.
Only then did those farmers donate green bricks for a long time, and they had already made a lot of money.
In the future, you will earn more. ”
"If I wait to make black money with my conscience and annoy Guo Changshi, Yanwangfu will inevitably directly build many brick kilns, so from now on, whether our Huang family's brick kilns can survive is not to say, let alone think that it can make money!"
"However, the young master is the eye of the example, and he is also the ...... of the 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 with the Huang family! Otherwise, the lord will definitely be punished heavily! ”
"Yes, sir!"
The steward hurriedly answered, and then as he was about to leave, he remembered something and stopped.
"What else?"
"Master, the villain heard that the brick kiln in Li Yuanwai's house seems to have not only risen by one percent, but many green bricks are ......."
"Humph!"
Huang Bi snorted lightly, "That old man is looking for death, don't pay attention to it." ”
"Yes, sir!"
……
Jingshi, Ying Tiancheng.
The two tigers hurriedly walked into the Fengtian Temple.
In the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was taking the new emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen to review the chapters.
"See Your Majesty, see His Royal Highness!"
"What?"
"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan has sent someone to send this year's fleet silver taels and the silver tribute of the Wa Kingdom!"
Erhu hurriedly reported.
"Very good!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was overjoyed, and he asked, "How much silver did the fourth hand over this year?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, there are 500,000 taels of silver, all kinds of gold artifacts, and there are ten chests in total!
There are still some treasure notes and some rare objects left. ”
"You go and bring someone to count us carefully, register and make a book!"
"Obey the order!"
Erhu hurriedly answered and withdrew.
On the side, Zhu Yunwen looked at the unconcealed joy in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the imperial grandfather, how much silver did the fourth uncle hand over?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunwen and said slowly: "The fleet of trade with Goryeo is 1.5 million taels of silver, and the Wa Kingdom will hand over 1 million taels of silver to us!" ”
"Two and a half million taels?"
Zhu Yunwen's eyes couldn't help but widen, and his face was full of shock.
"The fourth uncle turned in so much?"
"Hmm!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, "Yun Wei, if any vassal king wants to lead troops to attack the vassal kingdom in the future, let them go."
When a vassal state is created, they hand over a million taels of silver to us every year, and five years later, the heritage accumulated by those vassal states over the years will be included in the imperial court.
The remaining poor and white vassal kingdoms will be completely handed over to those vassal kings, they can toss as much as they want, and they don't have to feel distressed! ”
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Zhu Yunwen hurriedly responded.
"Hmm!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, then picked up the next book and read it.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen on the side also picked up a book and read it slowly.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Zhu Yunwen exclaimed in a low voice.
"Yun Wei, what's wrong?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a gentle face.
Zhu Yunwen hurriedly handed the piece in his hand to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Grandpa Huang, someone actually impeached Duke Liangguo?" ”
"Oh?"
A trace of curiosity flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, took the concerto, and looked at it curiously.
The more I looked, the darker my face became.
"Someone!"
"Command the Jinyi Guards to summon Jiang Xuan!"
“……”
……
Pei Binh Province.
As the weather gradually cooled, the snow in Peiping Province has covered a stubble, and those construction sites in Peiping Province have begun to gradually stop.
The cement avenue from Zhangjiawan Wharf to Dagukou is only half 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?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, Weichen has liked craftsmanship since he was a child, and he feels that craftsmanship can cause some.
And it just so happens that in the past few years, Wechen may stay in Beiping Mansion to collect some craftsman's talents! ”
"Then why don't you use the name of Yanwangfu?"
Zhu Di was a little puzzled.
Guo An was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand, Weichen just thinks 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, the green bricks don't have much profit, and now those gentry in Beiping Mansion have also built brick kilns, so they give them the profits of the brick kiln!" ”
Zhu Di thought for a while, and looked at Guo An with some surprise, "Guo Qing, are you going to subdue those gentry?" ”
Guo An hurriedly shook his head, "Your Highness, Weichen doesn't have such great ambitions. ”
A hint 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 Mansion honestly.
This time, even if those gentry are smart, follow our Yan Wangfu and donate some green bricks to the people who have suffered from the disaster. ”
Such a kind act not only gave a wave of advertising to their green bricks, but also made those farmers reacquaint themselves with them.
It's only been a few months, and the money they have earned is several times as much as they have given bricks! ”
"Good!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly, "If these gentry want to make money, they have to go honestly with our Yan Palace!" ”
Guo An: "......"
That's not what we mean!
Then.
A Yan Shanwei ran in from outside the door.
"Your Highness Qiqi, Guo Changshi, Xu Qianhu and three thousand brothers have returned from the Wa Kingdom, and the fleet has docked at the mouth of Dagu!"
"Xu Xiang is back?"
Zhu Di and Guo An are both happy.
"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, our Yan Wangfu also needs a large number of craftsmen and a large number of scribes, we want to recover the entire Goryeo and capture the entire Wa Kingdom!" ”
"Your Highness, that Weichen will send a reward to those merchants, and let them search for all kinds of craftsmen in the Yanwang Mansion!"
"Good!"
……
Ten days later.
Xu Xiang and Tan Tong thousands of households returned to Yanwang's Mansion.
"The last general will see His Royal Highness King Yan, and I have seen Guo Changshi and Zhu Changshi!"
"Everyone, please get up!"
Zhu Di laughed and said: "Ma He, quickly instruct the back kitchen, serve us hot pot and juice!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Not long after Ma He withdrew, a team of chamberlains walked in with pots of steaming copper pots.
In an instant, the entire hall was filled with a rich smell of meat.
"Xu Xiang, Tan Tong, how is the situation in the Wa Kingdom?"
After eating half full, Zhu Di began to ask.
"Returning to Your Highness, now in the Wa Kingdom, there have been four big landlords who have completely surrendered to our Yan Palace."
"Hehe, Your Highness, those Japanese people are really cheap, the last general and others have killed so many Japanese people, they are all respectful to the last general and others, even if the last general and others insult them, they are all full of respect!"
"However, these Japanese people despise those Koreans from the bottom of their hearts, and they are not afraid of the Koreans at all......"
"Very good, this king wants to conquer the Goryeo Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, according to Guo Changshi's orders, the last general has really found two mines in the Wa Kingdom!"
"Huh? Can you take it? ”
"Your Highness, what those Japanese people value most is some iron ore and grain, and they don't pay much attention to those mines!"
"Good ......"
……
As Xu Xiang, Tan Tong and other generals returned with three thousand Yanshan guards, the entire Beiping Mansion began to cheer again.
Subsequently.
Under the leadership of Zhu Di, more than 20,000 Yan Shanwei began another wave of year-end bounty distribution.
As a result, the military households in Beiping Mansion began another wave of wealth.
Each family got at least more than 30 yuan.
These military households are also starting to be a little nervous!
