When Zhu Gaochi and Guo An left, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di.

"Fourth, what do you think of Guo An's son?"

Zhu Di said with a straight face: "Dad, the child has carefully observed Guo An. All Guo An's habits are the same as those of Guo Taishi in the former Yuan Dynasty, indifferent to fame and fortune, and he likes to study the study of craftsmen.

Do things above board, full of goodness in your heart, and a little naïve.

The only thing that distinguishes Guo Taishi is that Guo An likes to enjoy and like money! ”

"Do you like to enjoy and like money?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed slightly.

Zhu Di hurriedly said: "Dad, although Guo Qing's Guo family is in decline, it is also a big family.

In addition, any object that Guo Qing researched can be sold to earn property that he can eat and drink all his life.

Guo Qing likes to enjoy, which means that Guo Qing likes to study food, and also likes to study how to build houses that are more comfortable to live in, how to make more comfortable furniture, more comfortable carriages, and faster and more comfortable boats......

Moreover, Guo Qing is dedicated to the people, likes everyone to make money together, never embezzles corruption, and never oppresses the people! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows stretched slightly.

Do your own research on the best home furniture for yourself?

In this way, this person is also a wonderful person.

Just based on what this son just said, it proves that his talent in his belly is already comparable to Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen. ”

Zhu Di said with a solemn face: "Dad, I think Guo An's talent has already surpassed that of Han Gong and Chengyi!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression froze, "You actually think so highly of this person?" ”

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Dad, just because Guo An is indifferent to fame and fortune and is not greedy for power, he is already stronger than Han Gong;

In addition, Guo An is straightforward about everything, and he never beats around the bush, so he is better than sincerity.

As for the talent and strategy in the belly, Guo An researched the winter planting vegetable greenhouses, cement strange things, and also helped my Yanwangfu to lay down Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom......

These, the two of Han Gong and Chengyi Bo combined, can't beat one Guo An! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said thoughtfully, "You actually attach so much importance to Guo An!" ”

Zhu Di said: "Dad, children sometimes think that Guo An is like a virtuous minister given to children by God!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed, and he said directly: "Since this is the case, you might as well directly crown him as Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi!" ”

Zhu Di looked overjoyed, and then hurriedly said: "Thank you Dad, but Guo An should not want to be a Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi!" ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked stunned and said, "Why is this?" ”

Zhu Di said helplessly: "Dad, Guo An doesn't like to deal with government affairs, he only likes to study things made by craftsmen or run caravans."

When he was in the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping, all the government affairs of the Yanwang Mansion were handled by Zhu Fu, the chief historian.

And the establishment of all caravans in Yanwang's Mansion, the policy and development of workshops, schools, and farms are the responsibility of Guo An! ”

"I see!"

Zhu Yuanzhang realized, "In this case, then we will issue an edict in a while and appoint him as the Shao Zhan Shi of the East Palace Zhan Mansion!" ”

"Thank you, Dad!"

Zhu Di hurriedly thanked.

……

And on the other side.

Along.

Zhu Gaochi turned his head to look at Guo An from time to time.

Guo An couldn't help but ask, "Why does Your Highness look at me so often?" ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "The teacher has passed the imperial grandfather's examination, why aren't you excited?" ”

Guo An smiled lightly, "What will happen if you pass, and what will happen if you don't pass?" ”

"It's passed, it's ......"

As he spoke, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but be stunned.

Guo An said: "As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows my talent and understands my ambitions!" ”

As for His Majesty Lao Zhu, he is about to go offline, and whether he appreciates him or not doesn't have much impact!

"Teacher's ambition?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, his face full of curiosity, "I don't know what the teacher's ambitions are?" ”

Guo An said slowly: "I have eaten the most delicious food in the world and enjoyed the best things in the world!" ”

Zhu Gaochi: "......"

He seems to be a little tired of hearing this sentence.

And, what kind of ambition is this?

"Isn't the teacher tricking me again?"

"If Your Highness doesn't believe it, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns from the palace, you can go and ask!"

……

After Zhu Di returned to the East Palace from the palace, he brought back a holy decree.

“…… Shi Guo'an, the right chief of Fengyan Wangfu, was the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion of the East Palace, and was awarded the ...... of Zhongshun Doctor"

"Weichen Command!"

Guo An respectfully accepted it, and then thanked the eunuch who announced the decree.

The official eunuch said a few polite words with a humble face, and then went back to resume his life.

Guo An asked with curiosity on his face: "Your Highness, I don't know who is the other young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Shi Mansion, and who is that Zhan Shi?" ”

Zhu Di smiled faintly, "Guo Qing is not in a hurry, that Zhan Shi must be Guo Qing's acquaintance."

As for that Shao Zhan, he was transferred from the household department! ”

"Acquaintances?"

Guo An couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Zhu Di smiled faintly and didn't continue to say: "Guo Qing will know tomorrow!" ”

Seeing this, Guo An sighed helplessly and didn't ask much.

……

Following.

Guo An came to the East Palace to be on duty normally.

It's just that as soon as I walked into the main hall, I was stunned.

In front of Zhu Gaochi, there were two figures standing respectfully.

Together, he was very familiar with it.

"Uncle Nie?"

Seeing Guo An, Nie Zi's eyes flashed with joy, and then he said with a straight face: "Guo Shaozhan, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

On the side, a middle-aged man in a scarlet official uniform embroidered with Yun Yan also hurriedly saluted Guo An, "Xia Yuanji has seen Guo Shaozhan!" ”

Guo An was taken aback and subconsciously returned the salute.

"I've seen this Xia ...... Shao Zhan? ”

Xia Yuanji, Zhu Di's money bag, the famous household book in the Yongle period!

"Exactly! Guo Shaozhan is really as wise as a torch! ”

Xia Yuanji said with a smile.

"Xia Shaozhan praised it!"

Guo An replied, and then remembered Zhu Di's words yesterday, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly looked at Nie Zishi on the side, "Uncle Nie is the East Palace Zhan Shi?" ”

"Hmm!"

Nie Zishi nodded slightly.

Guo An's face was suddenly full of joy, "With Uncle Nie serving as the Zhan Shi of the East Palace, Ning Yi is relieved!" ”

Nie Zishi's face couldn't help but darken, "As a courtier, you should be loyal to your ministers and do your best as a courtier, how can you be as casual as Beiping!" ”

On the side, Xia Yuanji was stunned.

Doesn't it mean that this Guo Shaozhan is the long history of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the Yanwang Mansion, and he is extremely favored by His Royal Highness the Prince?

Why is this reprimanded?

Or in front of an outsider like him?

Guo An smiled bitterly, and didn't dare to refute, in the past few years, because of Nie Zishi's relationship with his family, he has been tossed by Zhu Yunwen.

Moreover, when he was in Beiping Mansion, he was taken care of by Nie Zishi.

"Uncle, this matter will be discussed in the future, as the chief official of the Zhan Mansion, it should be subject to the decree of His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"As it should be!"

Nie Zishi smiled gently, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly returned to normal.

Xia Yuanji, who watched it, was stunned again.

Similarly, Zhu Gaochi was also slightly surprised, his father actually found someone who could suppress the teacher's Zhan Shi!

"Let His Highness and Xia Shaozhan laugh at the same time!"

Nie Zishi smiled lightly at Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji was stunned, and hurriedly bowed, "It's a little rare and strange for the lower officials!" ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head lightly with joy on his face and waved his hand.

Guo An said on the side: "It's because we're a little lazy and do something unexpected, Nie Zhan is worried that we will provoke the courtiers to impeach, and Your Majesty is angry!" ”

"This ......"

Xia Yuanji was stunned again.

Just as he wanted to say something, Zhu Di had already walked in from outside the hall.

Several people hurriedly saluted Zhu Di.

"Wechen has seen His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"Daddy!"

"Get up!"

Zhu Di smiled lightly and sat down.

"Sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Nie Zishi and Guo An sat down as they said.

Zhu Di said again: "You should already be familiar with it!" ”

"Your Highness is wise!"

Nie Zishi replied, "Weichen and the others are already familiar with each other!" ”

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "In the future, Nie Qing, Xia Qing, and Guo Qing will be the three of them, who will be in charge of the internal and external affairs of the East Palace, and control the affairs of the Zuo Chunfang, the Right Chunfang, the Department of Economic Affairs and other departments, and the political affairs of the government, the Fang, and the Bureau!" ”

"The three of them must do their best!"

Nie Zishi, Xia Yuanji, and Guo An hurriedly responded with solemn faces.

"Good!"

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "Your Majesty has decided to adjust the mansions of the various vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the sea will be opened.

In less than two days, the edict will be issued!

The three of them can be mentally prepared! ”

"Adjust the vassal king's mansion?"

"Open the sea?"

Nie Zishi and Xia Yuanji were both taken aback, and hurriedly asked.

Zhu Gaochi was already prepared in his heart, so he listened quietly.

"Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, to what extent can the sea be opened?"

Zhu Di said slowly: "The Ming Dynasty has forbidden the sea for so many years, and I don't know what the situation is beyond the sea!" The court will first form a caravan and a large army to explore the outside world.

When we are sure that there are no pirates beyond the sea, and our Ming merchants can safely trade, we will rebuild the Taicang Huangdu City Bosi and the three cities of Quanzhou in Fujian, Mingzhou in Zhejiang, and Guangzhou in Guangdong.

It will also build Beiping Dagukou City and Songjiang City Bosi again! ”

"So much?"

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

"This time, the imperial court caravan will be formed by Guo Qing!"

"I'm responsible?"

Guo An was stunned.

Nie Zishi and Xia Yuanji were also stunned.

Zhu Di said: "Guo Qing is the most experienced in this matter, and Guo Qing is in charge!" ”

"Wechen will do his best!"

Guo An nodded slowly, and then asked, "Your Highness, I don't know how many sea ships can be shipped from the court?" ”

Zhu Di said directly: "There are the most water masters in the court!" The matter of big ships, how many big ships are there in our Yan Wangfu? ”

Guo An said: "Our Yan Wangfu can produce a hundred big ships when it appears!" ”

"A hundred?"

Zhu Di and Nie Zishi were all shocked.

When did Yanwangfu have such a rich heritage?

Zhu Di was a little worried: "Guo Qing, if we have a hundred ships from the Yan Palace, can we delay the trade and transportation of soldiers and generals between the Yan Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom of Goryeo?" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, it will not affect at all!"

Guo An said directly.

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded heavily, his eyes full of excitement.

"In this way, let's send out a hundred big ships from the Yan Palace, and another 10,000 sailors from the court to escort them!"

Guo An's brows furrowed slightly, "Ten thousand sailors? ”

Zhu Di asked, "Huh?" What does Guo Qing think is wrong? ”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, the weight of grain and grass on the way of the 10,000 sailors is a big problem.

Moreover, the Daming sailor has been going to sea for many years, and Weichen is a little worried! ”

Zhu Di asked, "What does Guo Qing mean?" ”

"Your Highness, Weichen thinks that the imperial court only needs to produce five thousand sailors, and our Yan Wangfu will produce another three thousand Yan Mountain Guards!"

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Di nodded slowly, "We will report this matter to my father, and my father should agree!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Guo An said again: "Your Highness, can you recruit a few more businessmen when you go to the West this time?" ”

Zhu Di's eyes flashed, "How many businessmen?" ”

"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

"Your Royal Highness, my Yan Wangfu has never been to the West, and I am not familiar with the place, so it is better to find a few merchants whose ancestors often go to the sea to trade.

In their homes, there must have been a certain number of merchant ships and nautical charts.

With them to lead the way, many dangers can be avoided. ”

Zhu Di nodded directly: "This time, my father handed us full responsibility, so Guo Qing will be fully responsible!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Guo An hurriedly said.

"In this way, Weichen will set up a Kaihai Chamber of Commerce, His Royal Highness accounts for sixty percent, and another seven businessmen are selected to join the shares, accounting for forty percent!"

"Good!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

Guo An said again: "Your Highness, Weichen thinks that the chamber of commerce in our Beiping Yanwang Mansion can occupy one!" ”
