"Teacher, this ......"

Zhu Gaochi's pupils shrank, and his face changed greatly.

He has been familiar with all kinds of history books since he was a child, and he understands that since the tyrannical Qin, every dynasty has been forced to do so because of conscription, which has allowed corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the whole world to run rampant, and the people have no livelihood...... Then, the dynasty fell!

But.

What impressed him the most was that when he was a child, he listened to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms told to him by Mr. Luo.

In that book, the miserable situation of all the people was described to him in detail.

Just three Taoist priests who know how to point the water can actually set off such a big rebellion in the Han Dynasty.

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but say: "But teacher, the Ming Dynasty's millions of troops, as well as tens of thousands of officials, all need to rely on the people's forced labor and taxes to support!" ”

Guo An smiled faintly and asked, "Your Highness, the million-strong army of the Ming Dynasty and those officials really rely on conscription to provide for it?" ”

Zhu Gaochi: "......"

Naturally not.

Guo An shook his head slowly and walked forward.

Since you, Zhu Di, father and son, want to see how we govern the more than 1,000 households in Jiangjun Mountain, as well as 20,000 acres of fertile land, then you should take a good look.

After going back, Zhu Gaochi was still full of contemplation.

In his mind, he was still full of Guo An's words.

How bitter is forced labor for the people?

Do you want economic circulation?

Only Guo An on the other side continued to lie on his soft chair with a comfortable face.

Mingrenzong, Mingrenzong, shouldn't it be a waste of fame, right?

For so many years, he doesn't seem to have deliberately changed Zhu Gaochi's development path, but has been stabilizing his position!

It was more than ten days later.

Zhu Di summoned Guo An into the palace with a happy face.

"Guo Qing, we have found five places where locusts gather!"

Hearing this, Guo An's eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, are you going to go on a campaign against Tatar?"

"Exactly!"

Zhu Di's face was full of fierceness, "We have just ascended the throne, and the Tatar thieves can't wait to jump out, we must get their wishes." ”

"Your Majesty, this expedition is bound to be a great victory!"

Guo An flattered lightly, and asked with some curiosity: "I don't know who Your Majesty is going to send as the main general?" ”

Zhu Di smiled faintly.

"This time, I want to drive the expedition in person!"

"Your Majesty wants to drive the expedition?"

Guo An was stunned, although your position is the general of the Ming Empire, but you have just ascended the throne for less than a year, and the court is not yet stable, why are you in such a hurry to go to the expedition?

"Your Majesty, is this matter reconsidered? Starting from Beijing and conquering Tatars, it will inevitably take several months, or even half a year.

What if there is some chaos in the court? ”

"With Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong assisting the prince, and Jinyiwei watching, what kind of mess can happen?"

Zhu Di chuckled with disdain on his face, and waved his hand directly: "This matter is so decided."

I will find Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong in a while, explain them, and set off in five days! ”

"Five days?"

Guo An's eyes widened again, in such a hurry? Zhu Di must have passed down the secret decree a long time ago.

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Guo Qing will go back as soon as possible to prepare, and follow us to the north in five days!" ”

"Wechen is also going?"

Guo An's eyes widened again, his face full of unacceptability.

When is he going to go to the north?

Isn't he so rare for military exploits?

Moreover, with you Zhu Di here, even if you slaughter all the Mongolian Tartars in the north of the Ming Dynasty, no one else will have any credit!

However, this will Zhu Di, obviously he didn't know that Guo An had so many ideas, but he bowed slightly.

"Guo Qing will also go with us!"

"Wechen obeys!"

Guo An nodded helplessly.

Immediately, Guo An hurriedly walked out of the palace and went to the Dinghai Marquis Mansion.

Happened.

When he walked out of the palace gate with a anxious face, Xu Huizu, Li Jinglong and others had also received the edict and walked over from a distance.

"Dinghai Hou looks so hurried?"

"Could it be that Your Majesty has made any moves again?"

"Your Majesty summoned you and me alone, this matter must be intrivial!"

“……”

After entering the Fengtian Hall and listening to Zhu Di's words, Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong hurriedly asked for advice.

"Your Majesty, although Weichen is a martial artist, he rarely goes north. This time, His Majesty is driving in person, and Weichen is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses! ”

Li Jinglong glanced at Xu Huizu beside him in some surprise, and hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is also willing to go with Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty......"

"Okay, we just set up the crown prince, and the prince doesn't have much prestige in the court.

Therefore, the two of them need to guard the capital for us and assist the prince! ”

“……”

Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong looked unwilling.

Zhu Di said again: "There are so many Mongolian Tatars in the north, there will definitely be two opportunities to go out in the future!" ”

"Wechen obeys!"

In the end, the two could only respond with an unwilling face.

……

Dinghai Hou Mansion.

Liu Baiwei and Yuelan were also reluctant after listening to Guo An's words.

"Now, the master has become the prince and the prince, and he has been named the Marquis of Dinghai, why do you still have to follow His Majesty to conquer in person?

Those Mongols, all of them are like jackals, tigers and leopards, extremely dangerous, why does Your Majesty still have to drive the expedition in person......"

"Be careful!"

Guo An hurriedly said.

"This time, Your Majesty is personally driving the expedition, and there is a new secret weapon for those Mongol Tatars to taste.

Your Majesty will not go deep alone, so rest assured! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Liu Baiwei and Yuelan are not unreasonable people, and after complaining, they nodded slightly.

Then, he asked again.

"Since the master is on the northern expedition with His Majesty, the two concubines stay in Beijing, and there is nothing to do.

I don't know if the two concubines can take Guo Shen and a few people to Beiping? ”

"To Beiping?"

Guo An was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously, and said a little apologetically, "It's we who made the two sisters worried!" ”

Liu Baiwei said: "Master, Guo Shen should also reach the age of school!" The concubine wants to send him and Guo Liu's two families of the same age to enroll in school together! ”

"This ......"

Guo An thought for a while, then nodded lightly, "It's according to the sister's wishes!" ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Liu Baiwei was immediately overjoyed.

……

Two days later.

With the edicts issued from the Beijing Division, everyone in the Beijing Division knew that Zhu Di was going to drive the expedition in person!

this day.

Liu Sheng, the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion, went directly to the Dinghai Hou Mansion.

"Master Hou, this time Your Majesty is driving in person, why is there no army with my Shenji Battalion?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Guo An was stunned, and then asked with some doubts: "Liu Sheng, the Shenji Battalion has only been established for a few months, and even the weapons of each soldier have not been completely built, how can Your Majesty let the Shenji Battalion go on the expedition?" ”

Liu Sheng's face suddenly became anxious.

"Master Hou, you are the commander of our Shenji Battalion, how can there be a reason for the commander to go out with the army and leave behind his soldiers?

Moreover, the soldiers of my Shenji Battalion have already been fully armed, and they are even more elite divisions of the Ming Dynasty! ”
