Chapter 372: Lobbying Guo An?
"Being able to win the love of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, Guo An was very moved and cried with joy."
After listening to the lobbying words of the businessman in front of him, Guo An's face was suddenly moved.
However, after thinking about it for a while, I couldn't help but be depressed.
"However, in Beiping Mansion, this official does not dare to have the slightest dissent.
The Guo family and the Liu family have already purchased land in Beiping Mansion, and the Guo and Liu families already have dozens of children, all of whom have entered the Yanwang Mansion as officials.
Now, most of them have gone to Goryeo Yan Kingdom......
If I, Guo An, am disloyal, I will directly turn my back on King Yan. So, what do you think of the Guo and Liu families?
And what will happen to the children of the Guo and Liu families who went to Goryeo? ”
"Guo Changshi thinks twice!"
Hearing this, the merchant was first overjoyed, and then his face was full of surprise, a little unwilling, and at the same time full of disbelief.
The history of the prince of a small palace dared to disobey the edict of the imperial grandson?
"The imperial grandson is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and now the body of the saint is ......"
"Guo Changshi, as long as we serve the imperial grandson in advance, it will be from the dragon's work. In this way, when the emperor's grandson succeeds to the throne, then I will be glorious and rich......"
"Now, in the entire Ming Dynasty, no one knows that the imperial grandson has begun to suspect His Royal Highness King Yan.
After the imperial grandson succeeds to the throne, His Royal Highness the King of Yan, and even the entire Yan Palace, will be ......"
"You businessman is so bold!"
Guo An was speechless, sneered, and said, "Do you think that if you are doing something for the imperial grandson, no one will dare to kill you?" ”
The merchant was startled, then remembered something, and hurriedly said: "The villain knows that Guo Changshi is a smart person.
Moreover, with so many lives of the Guo family, Guo Changshi will definitely not do anything unwise! ”
Guo An smiled faintly, "This official will not be so unwise!" ”
The merchant looked relieved.
Guo An smiled slightly, and said with a gloomy face: "However, do you know that a few months ago, there was a businessman named Jia Zhengju, and at the behest of that person, he just publicized a piece of news in the Jingshi.
Subsequently, he rushed to Beiping Mansion and publicized a piece of news.
was immediately caught by His Royal Highness King Yan......
Then, His Majesty had already sent the internal guards to capture the merchant back to the capital, and chopped it up and fed it to the dogs! ”
"This ......"
The merchant couldn't help but tremble, and his face turned pale.
In this matter, they have been staying in Beijing all year round, and they have heard some rumors.
Unexpectedly, this matter turned out to be true.
Seeing this, Guo An's face became sincere, "You are just a businessman, Your Majesty is the most disgusted traitorous businessman, and those gentry and officials look down on it."
In their eyes, the merchant is just a plate of leeks, and when they are short of money, they will bring you and harvest them.
Then, after a while, when it grows, it will be harvested again......
Do you think that you are fighting for your life to do things for that person, and you are that loyal minister? ”
"Huh...... If you think about it, if you are a businessman, is it important to have a slave in the eyes of that person? ”
The merchant's face couldn't help but fall silent, and he laughed at himself helplessly.
"What Guo Changshi said is right, I am waiting for these businessmen, in the eyes of that person, I am afraid that they are not even as good as a slave beside him!"
"Hahaha...... We are the fast-growing leeks of those powerful people! ”
Guo An added mercilessly: "Even, when you are useless, they will abandon you without scruples!" ”
The merchant suddenly realized something, and chuckled at Guo An: "Isn't the same for Guo Changshi?"
Although that Guo Taishi is admired by the world, he is now the world of gentry and literati.
Guo Changshi seems to be only proficient in the skills of many craftsmen, and he also likes to do business.
The villain also heard that in the Yanwang Mansion, although Guo Changshi is called Changshi, he has no opportunity to deal with government affairs.
In the Yanwang Mansion, all government affairs are controlled by Zhu Changshi alone, Guo Changshi only has his name, but he has no power, and he is not valued by them like our businessmen! ”
“……”
Guo An stared at the merchant in front of him for a long time with a stunned face, and then asked a little strangely: "This official is not valued by His Royal Highness King Yan, who did you listen to about this?" ”
"Isn't that so?" The merchant looked puzzled.
Guo An's heart that refused to admit defeat suddenly exploded.
"Then do you know that we were awarded the title of Doctor of the Fifth Rank by His Majesty?"
"This ......"
"Do you know that we are still the teacher of the prince of Yan Wang? The only teacher who did the apprenticeship? ”
"How is this possible?"
"You go and ask those gentry in Beiping Mansion, or the officials and Yanshan guards in King Yan's Mansion, in King Yan's Mansion, do the official's words work?"
"Guo Changshi ......"
"If you have the ability, then ask His Royal Highness King Yan, who will work between our words and Zhu Changshi's words?"
The merchant had gradually opened his mouth wide and looked suspicious.
They don't know any of these things.
"Humph!"
Guo An sneered again and said, "Let's tell you, in the entire Ming Dynasty, His Royal Highness King Yan attaches the most importance to merchants.
Otherwise, the business environment in Peiping Province could not be so good? ”
"Do you know that the Shen family was so frightened that they didn't dare to cooperate with the Yan Wangfu because of that person's words, and Shen Zhuang came to apologize to His Royal Highness the Yan King."
"Even so, His Royal Highness King Yan just asked him to hand over all the skills and secret recipes, and sent the craftsmen over, so he forgave the Shen family's disrespectful behavior!"
"The Shen family?"
The merchant looked incredulous again.
"It's the Shen family ...... in Jiangnan"
Guo An nodded slightly, and said: "His Royal Highness King Yan is broad-minded and can accommodate all things, which is rare in the world, and treats officials, gentry, merchants, craftsmen, and ordinary people equally.
As long as you don't play any conspiracy against Yan Wangfu behind your back, and don't endanger Yan Wangfu, everything can be discussed!
Although this official has no fame, we are proficient in craftsmanship and can make a lot of money for Yanwangfu, and our status in Yanwangfu is still above that of Zhu Changshi. ”
As he spoke, a trace of helplessness flashed in Guo An's eyes.
"That's exactly why, His Royal Highness King Yan also looks at this official very closely, and he won't let us leave King Yan's Mansion at all!"
Hearing this, the merchant couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Why did he suddenly feel that the Guo Changshi in front of him was not only not valued by His Royal Highness the King of Yan, but also had a person who liked to exaggerate?
"Okay, this official is blessed, I'm afraid I don't dare to serve that grandson."
Guo An waved his hand casually and continued: "However, you are just a small person, who you want to work for, as long as you don't say it, no one will know."
If you look around and feel that His Royal Highness King Yan is a master, you can come to work for His Royal Highness King Yan.
As for waiting for the one to succeed to the throne, he will not be able to tolerate His Royal Highness King Yan at all, and His Royal Highness King Yan can also take the top and bottom of King Yan's Mansion to retreat to the Yan Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom of Goryeo.
Not to mention, that person is only an imperial grandson now, and he has not yet succeeded to the throne......"
"No matter how bad it is, you can also use the Goryeo Yan Kingdom and the Japanese Kingdom as ports to go to other overseas countries.
Wherever I go up and down in the Yanwang Mansion, I can live a very good life.
If you can recruit some businessmen for His Royal Highness King Yan, this official can replace His Royal Highness King Yan and give you a great credit!
His Royal Highness King Yan will never treat meritorious people badly, no matter what his identity is......"
"Thank you Guo Changshi for your kindness!"
Looking at Guo An, who was righteous and honest and sincere, Shang Jia couldn't help but look confused.
Suddenly, this Guo Changshi became a lobbyist, and he became the one to be persuaded?
However, that is the emperor's grandson!
wants him to turn his back on the imperial grandson, turn his back on the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and go to a vassal king who has been obviously suspicious of the Ming Dynasty, he is not so stupid.
But despite this, after leaving the Guo Mansion, the merchant still had a feeling of unreality.
Is this really the case with King Yan?
You must know that these businessmen, in the eyes of those powerful people, are not even as good as mud legs!
Thereupon.
Day 2.
Early in the morning, he found a businessman from Beiping Mansion who he often cooperated.
"Brother Wang, I heard that Guo Changshi is in the Yanwang Mansion, and he is a long history who is not worthy of the name, only the name of the long history, but he does not have the right to the long history......
"Shut up!"
The shopkeeper Wang's face changed dramatically, and he directly interrupted him without waiting for the merchant from Jingshi to finish speaking.
This businessman couldn't help but look surprised, "Brother Wang? ”
The shopkeeper raised his head, looked around nervously, and after finding that no one had heard it, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he said to the merchant with a solemn face: "Brother Zhang, we don't know where you heard this, but that person must want to kill you!" ”
"Huh?"
The merchant surnamed Zhang looked stunned.
Shopkeeper Wang continued: "Whether it is in Yanwang Mansion or Beiping Mansion, that Guo Changshi is an existence that cannot be provoked. ”
The merchant surnamed Zhang was even more puzzled: "Why is this?" ”
Shopkeeper Wang said: "Do you know the most famous academy in Beiping Mansion? ”
Shang Jia surnamed Zhang nodded hurriedly and said, "In the academy of His Royal Highness King Yan, more than a dozen scholars are admitted to the Jinshi every year!"
I heard that all the scholars in the north are proud to enter the academy to study! ”
The shopkeeper said: "Then do you know that the academy is actually Guo Changshi's advice to His Royal Highness King Yan, and then Guo Changshi presided over the construction.
Even, those great Confucians were all found by Guo Changshi's relationship.
The 100,000 classics in the academy were also found by Guo Changshi.
Also, I heard that those scholars in the academy were able to take the Jinshi examination, and Guo Changshi alone took half of the credit! ”
"Hiss......"
Shangjia, surnamed Zhang, couldn't help but gasp, his eyes full of shock.
"In this way, the entire Beiping Mansion, or the entire northern scholars, respect that Guo Changshi very much!"
The shopkeeper Wang said helplessly: "What do you think? ”
"It's the little brother who is ignorant!"
The merchant surnamed Zhang nodded very cautiously.
Shopkeeper Wang continued: "Also, the farm in Beiping Mansion, Zhangjiawan Wharf, and the workshops under the Yanwang Mansion, the craftsman school, and the medical hall were also built by that Guo Changshi! ”
"How is this possible?"
The merchant surnamed Zhang looked incredulous.
In this era of extremely underdeveloped information, as long as the Yanwang Mansion does not deliberately publicize it.
What happened in Beiping Mansion could not be transmitted to Jingshi for several years.
Suddenly hearing such a shocking news, if he didn't know the person of the shopkeeper Wang, the businessman surnamed Zhang would have thought that the shopkeeper Wang was teasing him.
Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Wang couldn't help but say again: "The chili peppers in Beiping Mansion are also found by Guo Changshi......"
"Chili?"
The mouth of the merchant surnamed Zhang opened wide again, and he had also heard of how much money that red and spicy gadget had made for hundreds of thousands of people in Beiping Mansion.
"In this way, don't the people of the entire Beiping Mansion also respect that Guo Changshi very much?"
"More than that!"
Shopkeeper Wang smiled faintly and said proudly: "The good rice planted by the people of Beiping Mansion is also researched by Guo Changshi and his clansmen on the farm!" ”
