At this banquet, Guo An ate very refreshingly.

Zhu Di is naturally the same.

And on the other side.

After the head of the household department returned to the household department, the newly appointed right attendant of the household department, Xia Yuanji, hurriedly came up.

"Yu Gong, what's the situation?"

Yu Xin's face was full of joy, he sat down and took a sip of tea, and then he praised his face: "Wei Zhe is really not wrong, the Yanshan Wei Lord General from the Wa Kingdom really brought silver on the ship!" ”

Xia Yuanji's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked with an expectant face: "Yu Gong, how much silver?" ”

"I don't know!" Yu Xin shook his head slowly.

Xia Yuanji's eyes darkened, and he asked with a puzzled expression, "Then why did Yu Gong say this?" ”

"Hahaha......"

Yu Xin couldn't help laughing, "Let's tell Your Majesty that there are three million taels of silver on that big ship, and we borrowed two million taels of silver from Your Majesty!" ”

Xia Yuanji's face suddenly became excited, and he stared at Yu Xin tightly, "Yu Gong, it's done?" ”

"It's done!"

Yu Xin nodded emphatically.

"Great work!"

Xia Yuanji hurriedly praised his face, "This time, Yu Gong saved everyone up and down our household!" ”

"Hahaha, the old man doesn't dare to take credit!"

Yu Xin laughed, "This time, if Wei Zhe hadn't found out about this, the old man wouldn't have known that those Yanshan Guardian generals actually sent silver to His Majesty."

Rather, he also gave so much silver! ”

Xia Yuanji hurriedly said: "Xia Guan only occasionally heard that every time the Yanshan Wei Lord of the Wa Kingdom came back, he would bring silver taels to His Majesty, but I didn't expect to transport so much!"

And Duke Yu actually asked His Majesty for two million taels of silver once! ”

Yu Xin slowly waved his hand and said: "Wei Zhe is going to put a high hat on us, we are not asking for it this time, but borrowing silver from His Majesty."

Tomorrow, I will send an IOU to His Majesty! ”

"IOU?"

Xia Yuanji couldn't help but look surprised.

Yu Xin said slowly: "Yes, IOU, these two million taels of silver were borrowed from His Majesty's internal funds by our household department!" ”

"It's time to borrow!"

Xia Yuanji thought for a moment, then hurriedly nodded, "This silver should be borrowed by my household!" ”

Yu Xin's heart eased slightly, and said: "In any case, our household department can prepare sufficient year-end bonuses this time!" ”

"What Yu Gong said is extremely true!"

Xia Yuanji also slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, the money for the year-end bonus has just been gathered, and everyone in their household finally doesn't have to worry about it every day!

Otherwise, by the end of the year, the audit will be completed.

All the officials in the world are waiting to receive the year-end bonus, but their household department can't get a penny, and those officials have to demolish their household department.

As for Your Majesty, you will also ask for the heads of a few of their household heads!

……

"Your Highness?"

Dinghai Hou Mansion, Guo An couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw Zhu Gaochi coming in from outside the house.

"I've seen the teacher!"

Zhu Gaochi was the first to salute Guo An.

Guo An was taken aback, and hurriedly returned the salute, "Your Highness has tormented the minister!" ”

Then, after greeting a few words and inviting Zhu Gaochi to sit down, Guo An couldn't help but ask.

"Ever since His Highness went to help His Majesty with the recital, he has not been idle.

Today, His Royal Highness suddenly came to the Weichen Mansion, but what important things does Your Majesty command? ”

"It wasn't sent by my father!"

Zhu Gaochi smiled slightly and said, "This time, I have doubts in my heart and want to ask the teacher for advice in person!" ”

Guo An asked with some curiosity: "I don't know what doubts His Highness has in his heart?" ”

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment, and then said: "In the past few days, the more I look at the twists and turns, the more I find that a country is difficult to govern!" ”

"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded slowly.

Zhu Gaochi said again: "However, last night, I suddenly realized that the teacher started in the Yanwang Mansion, and it seems that he has been governing the country!" ”

"Governing the country? I? ……”

Guo An looked at Zhu Gaochi with a surprised expression, "How did Your Highness think of this stubble?" ”

Zhu Gaochi looked ashamed, "Teacher, it's the student who is stupid, and I have been following the teacher for so long, and I haven't found the teacher's talent in this area!" ”

“……”

Guo An was still confused.

It's just that, looking at Zhu Gaochi's serious expression, he subconsciously asked, "Did Your Highness have a dream last night?" ”

"Dreaming?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly.

"Teacher, I'm seriously thinking about ......"

"Teacher, any great sage, if he wants to govern the country, he must first change the decree and change the order, which will lead to conflicts between the nobles, officials, gentry, and merchants......

However, the teacher started from the craftsmen and merchants, and directly went up and down the Beiping Mansion, all the people, merchants, gentry, and even officials, as well as the father and the emperor, and the top and bottom of the Yanwang Mansion, all followed the teacher!

Moreover, there has not been the slightest bloodshed and struggle! ”

"Emperor Taizu Gao forbade the sea for decades, and the southern gentry and merchants don't know how many people died.

As a result, the teacher only relied on a few large boats and fishing nets to directly tear a hole......

and that Zhu Yunwen, as the grandson of the emperor, let his father be promoted to the crown prince and ascended the throne, and the sea began to slowly lift the ban......"

"Teacher, which of these are released alone, they are all earth-shattering changes, but the teacher is sitting in the house, sitting and watching the changes in the world......"

Guo An: "......"

Zhu Gaochi stared at Guo An tightly, and said expectantly: "The student is stupid, and he has been thinking about it all day, but he still hasn't come up with any clue!"

Please also ask the teacher for advice! ”

"This ......"

Guo An sighed softly, "Your Highness, if I say that I am unintentional, Your Highness is credible?" ”

Zhu Gaochi just blinked his eyes and looked at Guo An, obviously looking unconvinced!

Guo An sighed helplessly and said, "Your Highness, that Weichen will talk to you at will, and you can listen to it at will, don't go to your heart."

These changes, to put it in cliché terms, are interests, and so that all parties get benefits, and they consciously change. ”

"If you are serious, it can be said: the economic base determines the superstructure!"

"The economic base determines the superstructure?"

Zhu Gaochi frowned directly, he could be sure that he had never seen this sentence in any classics, and he had never heard anyone say it.

"Dare to ask the teacher, I don't know where this comes from?"

Guo An said indifferently: "This should be my dream!" ”

"Dreaming?"

Zhu Gaochi smiled helplessly, "Teacher, don't make fun of me!" ”

Guo An said lightly: "Your Highness has misunderstood, I have never had any disrespectful thoughts!" ”

As he spoke, seeing Zhu Gaochi's expression, Guo An couldn't help but sigh softly, "Since Your Highness doesn't believe it, then be the words that Weichen has studied by himself!" ”

Zhu Gaochi looked in reverence, "The teacher is talented!" ”

“……”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, this statement can be understood literally, for example, when building a house, how much money in the family determines how strong the foundation of the house is?" ”

Of course, it can also be said that the economic base refers to the sum of the relations of production determined by the stage of development of a country or society, and is the foundation of the country, and it can also be said that it can be said that a country's taxes, goods, and military strength.

The superstructure can be a country's system, decrees, as well as the chief officials of various state capitals, courts, and even His Majesty.

The basic demand of the economy determines the emergence and transformation of the superstructure, to a certain extent......

At a certain point, the superstructure will also react on the economic base......"

After Guo An finished speaking, Zhu Gaochi listened with a puzzled face, "The economic foundation ...... Superstructure ......"

It took a long time before I had a faint thought in my heart.

However, it is never broken!

couldn't help it, and looked at Guo An again!

"Teacher, the students are still a little confused!"

Guo An subconsciously said: "I'm also confused......

Zhu Gaochi: "......"

Guo An said slowly: "Your Highness, don't care too much, this is just a special sentence."

In fact, if you take it literally, you can think of the whole country as a big mansion, and every brick, stone, beam, tile, flower and plant that built the mansion ...... They can all be regarded as domestic craftsmen, farmers, merchants, gentry, and officials......

Only when these people have money can this mansion be built better and better.

In the same way, only the stronger the house, the stronger the masonry, beams, tiles, flowers and plants......"

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but widen his eyes, governing the country, can he still understand it like this?

Guo An said again: "Your Highness, Weichen has always believed that everyone has a good side.

However, as long as profit and money are involved, many people's evil will come out.

Emperor Hongwu has seen too many wicked people, so under the iron-blooded means, there are many fewer villains in the Ming Dynasty.

However, as long as people are poor, in order to survive, even if they are good, they will become evil people when they are forced to do so.

Therefore, it is necessary to make the farmers, artisans, and soldiers as rich as possible.

As for the merchants, gentry and officials who are already wealthy themselves, as long as they are watched, they will not dare to do evil.

In this way, the country can be governed......"

Zhu Gaochi fell directly into contemplation.

Guo An didn't urge, sat on the side, and drank tea slowly.

Half an hour later.

Zhu Gaochi came back to his senses and looked at Guo An with admiration on his face.

"The teacher is talented, and the students are taught!"

Guo An hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this is what Wei Chen said at will, Your Highness can listen to it, don't take it seriously!"

The principle of governing the country should be learned from His Majesty! ”

"The teacher is still so humble!"

Zhu Gaochi said helplessly.

Guo An: "......"

This time, Zhu Gaochi finally came out, and after chatting for a long time, Zhu Gaochi left with a reluctant face.

And Guo An finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The more students grow, the harder it is to fool them......

……

Following.

Zhu Gaochi dragged his heavy steps again and went to Fengtian Palace.

Guo An, on the other hand, took Xu Yong and got into the carriage and went to the west of the city with a sad and angry face.

In the west of Yingtian City, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is the most suitable place for the Shenji Battalion to be stationed.

It's been so many days, no matter what, he, the leader of the Divine Machine Battalion, must go and see it.

Inside the Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi in front of him, frowned, and muttered: "The economic base determines the superstructure? ”
