"Yes, Your Highness!"

Guo An saluted.

Zhu Di said indignantly: "Hmph, they dare to put their hands into my Yanwang Mansion and let us find out, it will definitely not make them feel better!" ”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the King of Qin and His Royal Highness the King of Jin have such a move, in fact, it is understandable!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di looked at Guo An suspiciously and asked, "What does Guo Qing mean by this?" ”

Guo An smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, His Royal Highness the King of Qin and His Royal Highness the King of Jin are both His Royal Highness's brothers.

It's a pity that these two highnesses are unlucky, and they don't have a long history of being as talented as Weichen.

So much so that they could only watch as His Royal Highness Yan Wangfu became richer and stronger day by day.

Even, he was able to capture Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, and he made money every day.

And their Qin Wangfu and Jin Wangfu are living a hard life all day long, how can they be willing to do so in the long run? ”

"Hahaha......"

Zhu Di laughed directly, "What Guo Qing said is very true, but we still know people better than them, so we have a virtuous minister like Guo Qing to help." ”

Guo An nodded slightly, "Your Highness, it's just that His Royal Highness the King of Qin and His Royal Highness the King of Jin are both respected and powerful figures."

If they oppress the soldiers or officials of our Yanwang Mansion, for the sake of their families, those soldiers and officials will not dare to disobey this.

Therefore, Wechen begged His Highness to spare their lives and send their whole family to Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom if such poor people were really found.

In this way, they will surely be loyal to His Highness......"

Zhu Di stared at Guo An seriously for a long time and nodded slowly.

"Guo Qing rest assured, we are not such murderous people!"

Guo An's face was happy, "Your Highness is merciful!" ”

"However, Weichen also guessed that His Royal Highness the King of Qin and His Royal Highness the King of Jin actually didn't know the specific situation of Goryeo!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Di looked curious.

Guo An said softly: "Your Highness, now there are twelve minor nobles in Goryeo who have surrendered to my Goryeo Yan Kingdom. The remaining Goryeo nobles are also slowly surrendering to our Yan Kingdom at a steady and slow speed.

In less than a year at most, they will all surrender to our Yan Kingdom. ”

"If His Royal Highness the King of Qin and King Jin knew about this, then they must also understand it, even if they are now starting to organize their army to fight and buy ships.

They will send troops after the beginning of spring next year, and when their army arrives in Goryeo, I am afraid that all the nobles of the entire Goryeo Kingdom will surrender to our Yan Kingdom.

All of a sudden, they were all working in vain......"

Zhu Di was stunned, and there was a hint of surprise.

"Guo Qing, will those Goryeo nobles really surrender to my Yan Kingdom so quickly?"

Guo An smiled lightly and said: "Your Highness, Weichen has already printed hundreds of sets of some historical books from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the end of the Qin Dynasty, and the end of the Han Dynasty, and then asked Jin Zhong to send several sets to each of those Goryeo nobles. ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Guo An continued: "In addition, the 30,000 elite troops of the great nobles of Goryeo are still trapped in the Wa Kingdom.

After being taught a lesson by Chen Shou and Wang Bi and other commanders, these Goryeo troops were a lot more obedient and obedient to my Yanshan guards.

Presumably, those Goryeo nobles should also know the situation of their large army in the Wa Kingdom.

Those Goryeo nobles were smart people who knew what was best for them. ”

"Hmmm! What Guo Qing said is reasonable! ”

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

Those Goryeo aristocrats read a lot of Confucian classics one by one, and even if they are not smart, they will become smarter.

Of course, if there are people who are not interested, that's normal.

Zhu Di was also very welcome, just to give him Yan Wangfu to seize some more gold and silver property.

……

Soon.

It's starting to get cold again.

In the cold winter, Beiping still likes snow.

Fortunately, from Beiping City to Dagukou, a flat and wide cement avenue has been paved, which will not affect the trade of the fleet.

During this period.

Zhu Di also personally took ten big ships to Beijing and sent Lao Zhu every year's tribute silver.

For those tribute silver, Lao Zhu was full of joy.

However, after a period of joy, he criticized Zhu Di again.

As the king of Yan, he should conquer the Northern Yuan, instead of just going to attack Goryeo, which is harmless to the Ming Dynasty, as well as the Wa Kingdom, to collect money.

Regarding Lao Zhu's scolding, Zhu Di replied again and again with a respectful face.

As for the imperial grandson Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di did not treat the prince at all, and it was completely his uncle's tone towards his nephew, which made some close attendants and courtiers very dissatisfied.

However, Zhu Di didn't care.

Anyway, the old man will not give him the position of crown prince, nor will he kill him, bullying and bullying Zhu Yunwen's kid can make him comfortable for a while.

As for the depreciation of the treasure banknote, it was noisy in the court for a while.

However, whether it is Lao Zhu or the courtiers, there is no good solution, it seems that it is over!

Return to Pei Binh Province.

Zhu Di summoned Guo An and told him about everything in Beijing.

However, he was embarrassed to say that he bullied the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen.

However, this kind of thing, without Zhu Di saying, has already been spread to Beiping Mansion!

Regarding the depreciation of the treasure banknote, Guo An didn't have any good suggestions for a while.

Mainly, according to Lao Zhu's operation, Daming is really inseparable from treasure money.

And let the surrounding feudal states share a part of the treasure money for the Ming Dynasty?

Not to mention that Lao Zhu agreed to open the sea, even if the sea was opened, those countries did not have such a large volume to help Daming share the pressure of treasure money.

Guo An didn't ask for trouble, but asked: "Your Highness, after preparing for the New Year's Festival, you will go to conquer the Northern Yuan?" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and did not hide it, "It is the duty of these vassal kings to conquer the Northern Yuan. Moreover, those Northern Yuan Tartars are also getting more and more excessive! ”

Guo An asked, "In this case, does Your Highness need to summon some generals from the Wa Kingdom?" ”

"It doesn't have to be that way!"

Zhu Di shook his head slowly, "In the past few years, among the generals that my father has supplemented to our Yan Shanwei, there are also a few generals who are satisfactory to us, especially that Zhang Yu, although he is a general of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he is loyal to our Ming Dynasty, and he is brave and resourceful!"

Now, there are no generals in the Northern Yuan, just hiding everywhere, making it difficult for my Ming soldiers to find them.

With Zhang Yu, Chen Zhi, and Meng Shan, these generals will go out with us, and it will be enough! ”

"Zhang Yu?"

Guo An was stunned, a famous martyr?

Thinking about it, he nodded slowly.

"Congratulations to Your Highness for this good general, Your Highness will definitely return with a great victory!"

"Hahaha......"

Zhu Di was in a good mood.

……

"Shen Zhuang has seen Guo Changshi!"

"Shen Yuanwai, hurry up and be exempt!"

In the past few years, as the cooperation between the Shen family and the Yan Wangfu has become deeper and deeper, the status of Shen Zhuang's branch in the Shen family has become higher and higher, and Shen Zhuang's belly has become more and more round.

At the same time, Shen Zhuang also obtained the fame of Xiucai, and finally outside, Gongming Zhengda wore silk clothes, and he became more and more extravagant.

Among the wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, they are even more upright, one class higher than ordinary people.

However, in front of Guo An, Shen Zhuang did not dare to have any arrogance.

After getting up, he asked with a humble face: "Dare to ask Guo Changshi to summon the villain to come, but what is the order?" ”

"Shen Yuanwai doesn't have to be like this!"

Guo An looked helpless, "I invited Shen Yuanwai to come this time, just to invite Shen Yuanwai to be in the southern land and help me Yanwangfu to publicize and publicize!" ”

"Propaganda?"

Shen Zhuang was stunned.

"The craftsman school under my Yanwang Mansion has been expanded again, and all the masters who come to my Yanwang Mansion can go to study and write, and their children can also go to enlightenment.

……”

"Can you all go to school?"

Shen Zhuang was directly stunned.

"Guo Changshi, how much money does this cost?"

Guo An said lightly: "The craftsman is worth spending money on the Yan Wangfu!" ”

Shen Zhuang's expression was solemn, and he hurriedly said: "Please rest assured Guo Changshi, under such conditions, there will inevitably be more masters who want to come to Yanwang's Mansion!" ”

"Hmm!"

Guo An said: "Craftsmanship is the primary productive force, the higher the craftsmanship of the craftsman, the more precious the utensils produced, and the greater the benefits that can be brought to me."

In the same way, the more money you can make.

You and other merchants also understand that only the master craftsmen can bring huge benefits to the family of Er and other good people, as for those Confucians......"

Shen Zhuang's face was grim, and he said directly: "Guo Changshi rest assured, Shen Zhuang understands!" ”

"It's good to understand!"

Guo An nodded with great satisfaction.

"My Yanwang Mansion only needs a master craftsman with good skills, or a small craftsman with good qualifications and potential, as long as there is one satisfaction, their family can come to Yanwang Mansion and be supported and sheltered by my Yanwang Mansion!"

"Yes, Guo Changshi ......"

Soon, Shen Zhuang retreated with a happy face.

They still underestimate the importance that this Guo Changshi attaches to craftsmen!

However, this time it's going to be cheaper for their Shen family again!
