"You have become our food, why should we dislike it?"

Guo An smiled gently, "Don't worry, we don't have other skills, but we will definitely not let the people who follow us go hungry!" ”

Guo An looked at the people of Zuo Village in front of him again, and said slowly.

"In the next few days, I will inform the farmers in the nearby villages that in two days, we will send someone to the housekeeper to come and count the list of you and the number of acres.

In addition, if there is any shortage at home, you can tell the housekeeper, and you will become our food town, and you will never endure cold and hunger again! ”

A child subconsciously licked his mouth, and asked Guo An with a longing on his face: "Master Hou, if we become your food town, we will really be able to eat every day in the future?" ”

Guo An nodded slightly: "This is nature!" ”

"Then do you still need to be bullied by these officials?"

"As long as you don't break the law, you will never be bullied by them again!"

"Thank you, Master Hou! Hou Ye is a good person......"

……

Guo An, Zhu Di and others, under the complicated expressions of the people in Zuo Village, left by boat.

A man said to Zuo: "Village chief, do we really want to become the food of this Dinghai Marquis?" ”

Zuo Lai said expressionlessly: "Is it difficult, are there any other ways to wait?" ”

A group of men: "......"

Zuo Lai said: "However, your majesty is also a son of heaven, straightforward and jealous.

And this Dinghai Marquis can make such a great contribution, and is favored by this majesty, this person must not be far behind, maybe this time, we Diao people are really lucky......"

Hearing Diao Min's words, the surrounding Zuo Village farmers all flashed with resentment in their eyes, but they didn't react much.

……

"Thanks to His Majesty and His Royal Highness coming in person this time, otherwise, Weichen will definitely be wronged!"

On the way back, Guo An thanked Zhu Di with a grateful face.

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Hmph! Guo Qing rest assured, no matter who we find, we will never tolerate adultery! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Guo An saluted again.

On the side, Zhu Gaochi's eyes flashed, and he asked with curiosity: "Dare to ask the teacher, how are you going to govern your thousand food estates?"

But are you going to be prepared to learn from Beiping? ”

Zhu Di was no longer angry in an instant, and looked at Guo An with curiosity on his face.

Guo An pondered for a moment and said, "Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty, the vicinity of Jiangjun Mountain is all barren fields, and Weichen is ready to build the workshops of Beiping Mansion on those barren fields!"

It just so happens that Jiangjun Mountain is close to the Qinhuai River, and the waterway is convenient. ”

Zhu Di was a little surprised: "Guo Qing is going to use those food yi as craftsmen?" ”

Guo An shook his head again and again, "Your Majesty, Weichen sees that those food towns all have a fierce aura, and it's a pity to use them as craftsmen."

They can be used as escorts, as fleet stewards, or as farms......

Of course, what they are interested in, Wechen will use them for! ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and did not object.

"When will those workshops be built?"

Guo An arched his hand and said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to transfer some stewards and craftsmen from those workshops in Beiping Mansion!" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di's eyes narrowed, "What does Guo Qing mean by this?" ”

Guo Andao: "Your Majesty, now King Yan is the second highness, and Weichen is no longer the head of King Yan's Mansion, so he has no right to transfer the workshop manager under King Yan's Mansion!" ”

"We were negligent in this matter!"

Zhu Di patted his forehead and suddenly realized, "After we go back, we will transfer Tao Yiping and Yang Ting, as well as half of the craftsmen in the major workshops." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Guo An hurriedly thanked.

……

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Ma asks to see you!"

As soon as a few people returned to the palace, one of the attendants hurriedly reported.

"Ma and?"

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he was promoted to the rank of internal official and eunuch to show his favor.

At this time, the title of eunuch had not yet been flooded, and only the eunuch in charge of the prison could be called a eunuch.

"Get it in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The little eunuch quickly retreated.

Soon.

The burly Ma He strode in.

"Slaves and maids, see Your Majesty, Your Highness."

"I've seen Dinghaihou!"

Zhu Di said gently: "Get up and talk back!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ma and Yiyan got up.

Zhu Di asked, "Ma He, why are you here?" ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, the slaves and maids have come to report to Your Majesty, the sea trade fleet, a total of 236 large ships, 40 silk, 30 porcelain, 30 liquor......

These supplies are ready to go! ”

"All ready?"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up.

"Exactly!"

Ma He said.

Zhu Di turned his head to look at Guo An and asked, "Guo Qing, what do you think is the auspicious time to leave?" ”

Guo An said: "Your Majesty, I have such a large fleet of ships, I can suppress all overseas barbarians, and it is an auspicious time to set off!" ”

"Very good!"

Zhu Di was overjoyed, "What Guo Qing said is extremely true, under the Putian, it is not the king's land, and when my Ming fleet departs, it is an auspicious time!" ”

"Ma He!"

"The slave is here, half a month later, the fleet will set off!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Spread the edict, promote Xu Xiang to the command of Yanshanwei, lead the thousands of Zhu Neng, Tan Yuan, and Qiu Song to escort the fleet, come to Beiping Mansion, and go to sea with the big ship!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Again, Yan Shanwei commanded Tang Yun, commanded Chen Zhi, Zhang Xing, Chen Tao, and Qianhu Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Tan Yuan, and Meng Shan...... Attacking Goryeo of Yan State has meritorious, opening up territory and expanding territory for my Ming Dynasty, and everyone is a bonus!

As for the hundreds of households, they will be promoted to one level and rewarded with 50 taels of gold, 100 taels of silver, and 1,000 taels of treasure money......"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Guo An hurriedly said.

Soon.

When the edict was handed down, the entire Beijing division was in an uproar.

However, Zhu Di is a reward this time, and those generals do have the merit of destroying the country, which is indisputable, and those officials in the DPRK and China can only envy it.

But immediately after, another piece of news came out, which directly caused an uproar in Beijing.

Liu Wen, the magistrate of Jiangning, and Dai Jiu, the scrivener of the household, insulted His Majesty and the Marquis of Dinghai in the matter of Guo An's choice of food and acres of land for the Marquis of Haihou, and were directly imprisoned by Jinyiwei.

Suddenly.

The entire Jingshi officials began to endanger themselves again!

This majesty, do you also want to follow the example of Emperor Hongwu and reuse those vicious dogs of Jinyiwei?

And at this time.

On the other side of the General Mountain, there is a secluded manor in a remote field, but with convenient transportation and a wide area.

An old man with silver hair and ruddy eyes, the old god looked at a steward below.

"You mean, in the face of His Majesty's questioning, Dai Hufang's face was indifferent at that time, and he was already determined to die?"

The steward hurriedly said: "Back to the master, according to the words of those officials, Dai Hufang should know that he has a chance to live, and he has been begging His Majesty to give him death!" ”

"What a loyal man!"

The old man sighed with compassion on his face, and said: "Since Dai Hufang is so loyal, my Zhang family must not let him down."

Prepare a place, and when Dai Hufang dies, he will take his family away and send them to settle down. ”

"Yes, sir!"

The butler hurriedly answered.

Then, after the butler withdrew, a middle-aged scribe on the side said with a worried face: "Father, the child is still a little worried, Jinyiwei is different from those officials and servants, all of them are ruthless and cruel.

Moreover, there is no oil and salt, in case that Dai Jiu can't bear it......"

The old man laughed and said, very confident, "Dai Jiu is a smart man, he should know what he has done with those scribes and servants over the years?"

He still has two beautiful wives and two smart and lovely children at home, and if he dies, everything will be fine!

If you confess......

Hehe, the nine clans of his Dai family will accompany him down!

Moreover, even if his arm is abolished for a long time and he can't die, someone will help him die! ”

"Father is wise!"

The middle-aged scribe hurriedly complimented him respectfully, obviously very confident.

"Alright, you pick out some good things from your house, visit them, and talk about Dai Jiu.

Our family has finally taken root here, and as soon as he Zhu Laosi ascended to the throne, he wanted to use our land and the people to reward Guo An, and he thought it was a good ......."

"Yes, Father!"

"Alright, let's go!"

"Farewell child!"

As soon as the middle-aged scribe left, two young girls, one carrying a plate of melons and fruits, and the other carrying a plate of books, walked in.

……

"Father, Huang Boqian is a role model, and he is also the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and he is still a person from our Beiping Mansion, and he can enter the cabinet!"

"Good!"

"Father, Yin Changlong is upright and outspoken, and now he is also revised by the Hanlin Academy, and he can also join the cabinet and participate in the maintenance of the machine!"

"Good!"

"Father, there is still ......"

Zhu Gaochi still wanted to recommend it again, but Zhu Di had already waved his hand and said, "You don't have to listen to Guo Qing's words, choose Hanlin Academy for all!"

Let's see that Huang Huai, a scholar in the middle school, studied economics and history intensively, and has deep insights into many government affairs, so let him join the cabinet! ”

Zhu Gaochi was stunned and nodded slightly, "Yes, Dad!" ”

Then.

Erhu hurriedly walked in.

"Weichen see Your Majesty!"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "But did the two thief officials confess?" ”

Erhu said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Liu Wen has explained to many officials, but when you dig deeper, they are all some things to catch wind and shadows.

And that Dai Jiu obviously had a will to die, and the brothers tortured him for a long time, but he still didn't say a word! ”

"Humph!"

Zhu Di's face sank.

Erhu said again: "Your Majesty, someone just came to ask about Dai Jiu!" ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, "Who is it?" ”

Erhu said: "Back to Your Majesty, the right attendant of the Criminal Department is Wen Chang." ”

"Wen Chang?"

Zhu Di frowned slightly, "What is this person doing to inquire about Dai Jiu?" ”

Erhu said: "Back to Your Majesty, there are many files in the Criminal Department, all of which can help in the investigation of the case, and this person will use the reason for this matter......"

Zhu Di said: "In the future, if anyone inquires, let them take a look, wait and keep an eye on the side, as long as Dai Jiu can't die!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Let Jinyiwei check Wen Chang again!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"In addition, copy the home that has not been worn for a long time!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"
