Above, Zhu Di also looked happy.

"Are you all willing to be the officials of our Yan Palace?"

A group of people hurriedly responded: "Back to His Royal Highness King Yan, the villain and others are willing!" ”

Zhu Di continued: "You should also know that our Yan Mansion does not have so many official positions, and if you want to be an official of the palace, you need to go to Goryeo. ”

"The villain and others are willing to go!"

The group continued.

Before, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, these two families were still the descendants of the Northern Yuan officials.

In addition, the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang has been killing officials and implicating officials.

These people have also been living in Shunde Mansion and dare not easily enter the court as officials.

And now, the Ming Dynasty has stabilized, Guo An is deeply relied on by King Yan, and he also captured Goryeo, and the Wa Kingdom will not be too far away, and the Yan Wangfu lacks a large number of officials.

In particular, the development of Beiping Mansion is too prosperous, and the treatment of officials in Yanwang Mansion is really good.

As an official, you can not only educate the people and govern the Yan country, but also earn a lot of money!

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then asked, "I don't know if you have a reputation?" ”

"Your Highness, the student is a lifter!"

"Your Highness, the student is a showman!"

"Your Highness, the student is also a talented ......"

On the side, Zhu Di couldn't help but look surprised.

They didn't expect that among the twenty-five Guo and Liu families, there were actually two lifters and twelve talents.

"Very good!"

Zhu Di said directly: "You can be the scribe of the Yan Palace, familiar with the government affairs of the palace, and after two months, you will go to Goryeo as an official!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

A group of people from the Guo and Liu families hurriedly thanked.

However, Guo An's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, in this way, there are thirty-five scribes of the Guo and Liu families in the entire Yanwang Mansion!"

Now, how many scribes are there in the Long History Division?

My Guo and Liu families occupy half of it, so it's not good!

Even ......"

Hearing this, all the people of the Guo and Liu families were also stunned.

Zhu Di waved his hand, his face full of indifference.

"Guo Qing is too worried, they have only been in the Changshi Division for two months, and they are going to Goryeo!"

"So, that's fine!"

Guo An hesitated for a moment, but only nodded slowly.

Then, he directly instructed the scribes of the Guo and Liu families in front of him: "Your Royal Highness is very fond of my Guo and Liu families, exempt from the exam, and directly recruit you into the Yanwang Mansion as scribes, or even officials."

You must be grateful for your kindness.

Beiping Mansion is okay, but when I went to Goryeo Yan Kingdom, there were only 5,000 Yanshanwei troops, and the rest were thousands of Ming generals and officials who were exiled.

In the country of Goryeo Yan, you are the most trusted officials of His Royal Highness, and you must do your best, do not be greedy for cheap, do not deceive Your Highness, and do not do things that damage the Yan Palace!

Thou shalt not join together or oppress other officials......"

"Thank you Guo Changshi for your teachings, and please rest assured that Weichen and others will be loyal to His Highness, educate the people of Goryeo Yan Kingdom, and govern Goryeo for His Highness!"

A group of newly promoted Yan Wangfu scribes hurriedly responded.

"Very good!"

Zhu Di was overjoyed.

Suddenly, a member of the Guo family hesitated, and said cautiously: "Your Highness Qiqi, Weichen is only a shallow learner, I'm afraid that I can't be an official!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di and Guo An were both stunned.

"Thirteenth brother, what are you talking about?"

A scribe of the Guo family next to him also followed and said: "Your Highness, Guo Changshi, Weichen is also a shallow learner, I'm afraid I can't be an official!" ”

Zhu Di's brows furrowed slightly, "Since you don't want to be officials, why do you want to come to our Yanwang Mansion?" ”

"Please forgive your highness!"

The two Guo family scribes hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Wei Chen and the others are short-sighted and sparse, they just want to learn from the fourth brother and study some things!" ”

"Research objects?"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and was a little incredulous, "Are you going to be a craftsman?" ”

On the side, Guo An hurriedly said: "Your Highness, these brothers are all scholars, proficient in mathematics and astronomy, even if they go to the workshop, they should be in charge of the workshop!" ”

Hearing this, the Guo family scribes immediately nodded again and again.

And Zhu Di couldn't help but take a deep look at these Guo family scribes, "I don't know where you want to go?" ”

"Your Highness, Weichen wants to go to the craftsman school!"

"Your Highness, Weichen wants to go to Gongzheng!"

"Wechen wants to go to the camp ......"

"Yes!"

Zhu Di nodded directly.

Although it is a pity, they are unwilling to be officials, and Zhu Di does not force it.

It's just that he never thought that these people in the Guo family would be such a character, they didn't want to be officials, they just liked to study those objects and be a craftsman.

But.

As a craftsman, he can make more money for his Yan Wangfu.

The next two days.

In the palace of King Yan, there were twenty more scribes of the Guo and Liu families.

In the Gongzheng and Camp of the Yanwang Mansion, there are also five more Guo family stewards.

In this regard, Guo's father and Liu Huiyuan, as well as a group of people from the Guo and Liu families, were all full of joy.

even, he thanked Guo An again and again.

Guo An was humble again and again, followed by a stern admonition.

Although he is the head of King Yan's mansion, if those people don't do a good job as officials, they will still be severely punished by His Royal Highness King Yan.

The people of the Guo and Liu families are naturally very understanding.

……

this day.

The news brought by a caravan steward shocked both Zhu Di and Guo An.

"What? Great drought in the Central Plains? ”

The steward said with a heavy face: "Back to Your Highness, Guo Changshi, Henan Province, as well as the Daimyo Mansion and the De'an Mansion...... It hasn't rained in these houses for three months.

The crops in the fields have not even borne ears!

Although the people in these places can barely have enough food this year, the autumn harvest is nothing, and after the winter, they will all starve.

Even, many people will not survive these winters! ”

"Now, the price of food in these places has begun to skyrocket......"

"Alas!"

Zhu Di let out a long breath of turbidity and looked at Guo An.

"Guo Qing ......"

Guo An said directly: "Your Highness, my Beiping Mansion has a bumper harvest this year!" ”

Zhu Di said: "My father should transfer grain from my Beiping Mansion!" ”

Guo An thought about it and said, "I still have a lot of grain in Beiping Mansion last year!" ”

"Good!"

Zhu Di was relieved.

A few more days passed.

Zhu Yuanzhang's edict really went down to Beiping Mansion.

The Central Plains was in drought, and the people had no harvest, so they heard that Beiping Mansion had a bumper harvest, so they ordered the military horses of Beiping Mansion to prepare 300,000 stone of grain and send it to Henan to relieve the victims.

Zhu Di looked happy, "In the past, it was Jiangnan that delivered grain to Beiping Mansion to provide disaster relief, but I didn't expect that now, my Beiping Mansion can actually deliver grain to the Central Plains and relieve the victims!" ”

Guo An chuckled, "These are all the merits of His Highness!" ”

"Hahaha......"

……

For the transportation of grain, the Yan Wangfu is only the duty of the inspector.

The specific matters are all in the responsibility of the political envoys of the Beiping Prefecture and the Yamen of the Imperial Envoys.

As for this matter, although these officials of the yamen were a little distressed, they were also full of pride.

These grains are the achievements of these officials.

They in the north finally began to no longer need the south to send food for disaster relief.

this day.

Zhu Di and Guo An were thinking about the remaining abandoned city walls in the northern part of Beiping City.

Suddenly, a Yan Shanwei, with a strange lieutenant, hurriedly walked in.

"The last general will see His Royal Highness King Yan, my Royal Highness King Ning has a letter to send to His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, opened the letter, and read it for a long time, his brows furrowed slightly.

Then, he said to the captain, "You go down and rest for a while!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

When the captain went down, Guo An asked curiously.

"Your Highness, but what happened to Daning Biansai?"

"There are no Tartars offending!"

Zhu Di shook his head slowly and said, "It's King Ning who wants to buy some cement from our Yan Palace!" ”

"Buying cement?"

Guo An asked, "What does His Royal Highness King Ning do when he buys cement?" ”

Zhu Di said slowly: "I want to strengthen the city wall, build houses, and pave roads!" ”

"So many ......"

Guo An's eyes narrowed slightly, "His Royal Highness King Ning shouldn't just want to buy cement!" ”

"Guo Qing's meaning, does King Ning want the secret recipe for cement?" Zhu Di also said thoughtfully.

"Your Highness, the secret recipe of cement, my Yan Wangfu will definitely not sell it to the outside world!"

Guo An shook his head slowly, "His Royal Highness King Ning should also know about this, so he may, want to let me Yan Wangfu build a cement workshop in Daning!" ”

"Huh?"

A bright light flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.

"Guo Qing, is this feasible?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, as long as the cement has charcoal and a stone mountain, it will be fine!"

In Daning, there seem to be carboniferous and stone mountains!

So, it should work! ”

Zhu Di was a little puzzled and said: "However, if I, King Yan's Mansion, build a cement workshop in Daning, wouldn't King Ning also know the secret recipe for cement calcination?" ”

Guo An sighed lightly, "Your Highness, the imperial court already knows the secret recipe for cement, so as long as His Royal Highness King Ning gives me enough benefits from King Ning's Yan Mansion, why not let His Royal Highness King Ning know?" ”

"Good!"

Zhu Di was overjoyed, "Guo Qing, Daning and other places, what can make money?" ”

"Your Royal Highness, dozens of cities under the command of Daning, vast and thousands of miles, King Ning has 80,000 armor and 6,000 leather cars!

Although Daning is relatively barren, it is better than the number of people.

Moreover, Daning grazes more.

And my Yanwangfu needs wool, and my Yanwangfu also needs a lot of cattle......

In addition, the cement calcined by the cement workshop is not worried about being sold in Daning.

If a cement workshop is built in Daning, and His Royal Highness King Ning is under the care of him, no one will dare to fight the idea of a cement workshop.

In this way, it is equivalent to His Royal Highness King Ning being the manager of my cement workshop and working for Yanwang Mansion to make money......"

"Let Lao Seventeen work for our Yan Mansion to make money?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and then he was a little suspicious.

"This method is good, but why does Old Seventeen take care of our cement workshop like this?"

Guo An said lightly: "Your Highness, I will give fifty percent of the money made by the cement workshop to His Royal Highness King Ning!" ”

"Fifty percent?"

Zhu Di's eyes glared directly, "The cement workshop is ours, and the secret recipe is also ours, why do you give him so much silver?" ”

Guo An said: "Your Royal Highness, Daning is so far away from my Beiping Mansion, let His Royal Highness King Ning build a cement workshop, let His Royal Highness King Ning recruit craftsmen, let His Royal Highness King Ning be responsible for the coal and stone mountain, and let His Royal Highness King Ning take care of the cement workshop, and my Yanwang Mansion only needs to send one or two stewards, an account room, and a few old craftsmen......"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, still a little reluctant, "It's just that fifty percent is a bit too much!" ”

"Then forty percent!"

Guo An said, "These things still need to be discussed between His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness King Ning!" ”

"Good!"

Zhu Di said directly: "In general, it is still the old seventeen who takes advantage of us, we have to discuss it with him!" ”

"Your Highness is wise!"
