Chapter 442: Take Zhu Gaochi to General Mountain
"What, there are thieves who dare to print treasure money without permission?"
"How dare they dare to make such an important thing as treasure money?"
After listening to Erhu's words, all the Jinyi guards commanded the servants, the pacification envoys, and the thousands of households, all of whom were full of shock.
Immediately, it was a matter of gnashing teeth.
Those thieves are really impatient.
"Your Majesty is furious, only give me a month to wait for Jinyiwei, if you can't find those thieves, everyone in this house must raise their heads and ask Your Majesty for their guilt!"
Erhu said with gloomy eyes again.
"One month ......"
At this moment, all the brocade guards couldn't help but change their faces slightly.
Immediately, they all bowed with solemn faces, "Please also rest assured that the inferior people will do their best to find those thieves!" ”
"In addition, last year's evaluation of officials, you should also pay attention to it!"
"Yes!"
"Commander, don't worry, as long as they are in Daming, they won't be able to escape the palm of our Jinyi guards......"
……
A few days later.
Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty officially canonized Zhu Gaochi as the crown prince.
The canonization ceremony is the same as Zhu Di being made the crown prince.
Cumbersome, majestic.
The entire canonization ceremony lasted for two days.
The eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Gaochi, was officially canonized as the crown prince and entered the East Palace.
Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, was concurrently served as the crown prince, Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao, was concurrently the crown prince, and Guo An, the Marquis of Dinghai, was the prince and the prince......
The two veteran nobles in front of them, who also served as auxiliary ministers of the East Palace, did not attract the attention of many officials and nobles.
However, Guo An, the Marquis of Dinghai, was concurrently served as the crown prince and prince, what qualifications does he have......
When these officials and nobles inquired, it turned out that as early as the time of the Yan Wangfu, Zhu Gaochi, who was still the prince of the Yan Wang, had officially worshiped Dinghaihou Guo An as his teacher, so it was not an exaggeration for Dinghaihou to serve as the prince and prince.
In view of this, a monk actually became a guest of the prince, which did not attract much attention.
As for the rest of the officials in the East Palace, most of them were divided among the civil officials.
……
"Your Highness thinks that those civil officials actually dare to unite and instill their ideas in His Highness every day, and want to use this to change His Highness's mind?"
Dinghai Marquis Mansion, after listening to the complaint of the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, Guo An couldn't help but be angry.
"Exactly!"
Zhu Gaochi nodded slowly.
If the officials of the East Palace saw Zhu Gaochi who would be in this meeting, they would definitely be full of surprise.
In their eyes, the crown prince, who has always been gentle and benevolent, will have a black face.
Guo An said: "Letting His Highness argue with so many civil officials is indeed a little too wronged His Highness!" ”
"What the teacher said is very true!"
Zhu Gaochi sighed helplessly, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the teacher has to do?" ”
After thinking for a while, Guo An said: "Your Highness just said that most of the officials in the East Palace are officials from the south? ”
"Exactly!"
Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly.
Guo An said: "In this way, Your Highness can tell Your Majesty to transfer some officials from the north, or from among those officials from the Goryeo Yan Kingdom, some officials will be transferred to the East Palace." ”
Zhu Gaochi's eyes suddenly lit up, "What does the teacher mean, is it to let those northern officials argue with those southern officials?" ”
"Your Highness is wise!"
Guo An praised in passing.
"Your Highness, the scholars know the scholars best, and the only ones who can deal with the scholars are the scholars, give those northern officials a chance, let them help His Highness to refute those southern officials, Your Highness will definitely be much cleaner!"
"Thank you for your teachings!"
Zhu Gaochi was overjoyed.
Guo An chuckled.
Another moment passed.
Zhu Gaochi didn't know what to think of, so he asked with some curiosity: "Teacher, I don't know what happened to the people in General Mountain?" ”
“……”
Guo An was stunned, and he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.
"Wechen hasn't been to General Mountain for a long time, Your Highness is free today, can you go and have a look with Wechen?"
Zhu Gaochi nodded hurriedly, "Thank you for your kindness!" ”
Guo Anzhong sighed slightly, and his guess was confirmed.
"Your Highness, please!"
"Teacher, please ......"
Half an hour later.
A team of carriages went out of the gate of the capital division, followed the Qinhuai River, and came to the opposite side of the General Mountain.
Then, two men dressed in fine clothes got out of the carriage.
One fat and one thin!
It was Guo An and Zhu Gaochi.
After getting out of the car, the two of them looked up and looked around.
In the vicinity of the entire General Mountain, both sides of the Qinhuai River have undergone earth-shaking changes compared with before.
The most conspicuous thing is that on the Qinhuai River, I don't know when, a cement bridge has been built.
On each side, there is a flat cement road that directly connects to the cement bridge.
And from time to time, a few people walked on the bridge.
Obviously, the bridge is real!
"This ......"
Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened directly, his face full of disbelief.
"Teacher, how can this be?"
Guo An, on the other hand, was already standing on the bridge and stomped his feet vigorously, very thick and strong.
"I wonder why Your Highness is surprised?"
Guo An had known about the changes here for a long time, so he was not much surprised.
Zhu Gaochi said: "Teacher, this road, this bridge ......"
Guo An said: "Your Highness, it was almost built last year!" ”
Zhu Gaochi was still full of disbelief, "How can it be so fast?" ”
Guo An smiled slightly, "Your Highness, as long as you are paid and given food, you can hire at least a thousand laborers and craftsmen near the Jingshi!"
With so many people, it's easy to build a bridge and two concrete roads! ”
"I see!"
Zhu Gaochi nodded thoughtfully, "I didn't expect that the people near Jingshi are also very poor. ”
"Alas......"
Guo An sighed, "Your Highness doesn't know that the people near Jingshi may be even poorer......
As he spoke, several large ships carrying various materials stopped at the dock opposite.
Immediately, a group of people came out, quickly boarded the ship, unloaded the materials, loaded them into the carriage, and went away.
Not far away, a construction site is in full swing.
A trace of curiosity flashed in Zhu Gaochi's eyes again, "Teacher, when will these workshops be completed?" ”
"It's summer!"
Guo An said.
"Summer ......"
Zhu Gaochi muttered to himself, and asked again: "Teacher, I don't know how much money it will cost to build these two cement roads, plus the cement bridge, and this workshop?" ”
Guo An thought for a while, and then replied: "Back to Your Highness, it should cost 300,000 taels of treasure money!"
The exact number will not be known until everything is built! ”
"Three hundred thousand taels of treasure money?"
Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened directly, "Do you need to spend so much treasure money?" ”
"Hmm!"
Guo An nodded slowly.
