"Father Emperor Shengming!"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi with disgust again, "You kid, don't you even want Guo Qing to take precautions?" ”

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly shook his head, "Father misunderstood......"

Zhu Di's face suddenly appeared a trace of unhappiness, "Then is it possible that you kid are afraid that we will be suspicious of Guo Qing when we think about it in the future?"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head again and again, with a smile on his face.

"Humph!"

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaochi, "We're not that kind of person!" ”

"The money that Guo Qing made for our Daming has long exceeded several Guo Islands.

In addition, just because Guo Qing does not choose the rich places of Beiping Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, and Hangzhou Mansion, and would rather suffer a loss, and choose Guozhou, which is the farthest away, we have no reason to be suspicious of Guo Qing here......"

As he spoke, Zhu Di took a deep look at Zhu Gaochi again.

"Guo Qing chooses Guozhou, he will definitely have his own plans, but he definitely doesn't have any unfavorable thoughts for our Daming.

You kid don't have any cranky thoughts in the future, everyone has selfish intentions, Guo Zhou must have good things to attract Guo Qing, but that place is too remote, too far away from my Daming.

Everyone wants to put their food in the Ming Dynasty, or in the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty...... No one would want to go there except Guo Qing......"

"Moreover, although Guo Qing can often research some good things, especially firearms...... However, Guo Qing is a person who is greedy for enjoyment and is reluctant to leave Daming.

There are not many people in Guozhou, and they are still so far away from Daming, so they can't pose any threat to Daming! ”

"Sons remember the teachings of their father!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded again and again.

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaochi again and said, "Now, you can rest assured!" ”

Zhu Gaochi was startled.

And Zhu Di had already lowered his head and looked at the book again.

……

Dingguo Mansion.

After Guo An went back, he informed Liu Baiwei about the household.

At the same time, he also took out the map with a smug face.

It's just that after Liu Baiwei figured out the distance on the map, the faces of the two of them suddenly became ugly.

"Master, this place is so far away from the Ming Dynasty, there are no natives, and even those maritime trade fleets don't pass through here, why did you choose here?"

"Yes, sir, it's so far, we need to go for a year to go once, right? I've heard that it's dangerous to sail in the sea......"

Guo An was stunned for a moment, and then smiled helplessly.

"Sister, Yuelan is not in a hurry, I know what you two mean. However, the two of you think that if we have 10,000 eaters in Daming, it is almost a state or half of the government's tax, and now Your Majesty feels that we have made a great contribution to Daming, even if we are distressed, we can bear it.

However, if we wait until we get old, will the Ming Emperor behind me feel distressed?

And if my Dingguo Mansion loses the favor of later emperors, and there are some traitors who want to target my Dingguo Mansion, what should I do? ”

"This ......"

Liu Baiwei and Yuelan were stunned, but when they thought of the 20,000 eaters, they were still a little reluctant.

"But sir, that's 20,000 eaters......"

"Contentment and happiness!"

Guo An smiled slightly and continued: "Now, do I have a lot of property in the Dingguo Mansion? Is there a lot of input per year? ”

"Many!"

Liu Baiwei and Yuelan nodded slightly.

"So, what's the use of the 20,000 eaters? If those 20,000 eaters are placed in Daming, maybe it will do more harm than good to my Dingguo Mansion.

The tree is a big wind......"

"Also, eggs need to be placed in two baskets to be safe.

If the 20,000 eaters are placed in Guozhou, His Majesty and the magnates of the Ming Dynasty will soon forget about the 20,000 eaters.

Let those 20,000 eaters have been slowly building Guozhou, and if I can't stay in Daming in the future, there will be a place to take refuge.

As for now, I Dingguo Gong is one of the richest nobles in Daming, and what he needs is to be low-key, and he can't be more high-profile! ”

"Hmmm! Everything is up to the master! ”

Liu Baiwei and Yuelan nodded slowly.

Guo An said: "Actually, although Guozhou is remote, it is a barren land in everyone's eyes, because that big island is isolated from other continents, and no one goes.

However, the land is fertile and abundant, and there are many minerals and natural harbors......

As long as those 20,000 eaters go there, plus the support of our Dingguo Mansion, cultivate there, build schools and various workshops, it will definitely soon become rich and become a paradise! ”

"The most important thing is that it is very big, so big that it is comparable to the entire Central Plains region of the Ming Dynasty and the land south of the Yangtze River, my Guo family occupies this place first, as long as my Guo family develops there for one or two hundred years, it will completely become my Guo family's ......"

"Comparable to the Central Plains and the land south of the Yangtze River?"

Hearing this, Liu Baiwei's eyes lit up and she stared at Guo An tightly.

"Master, in such a rich place, how can only the two boys Guo Shen and Guo Lu manage it?"

Yuelan also hurriedly said: "Yes, master, on such a big island, there is only one son-in-law in the Dingguo Mansion, and there are not a few brothers to help him, how can he manage it?" ”

"Yes!"

Guo An couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

"Master, the concubine is willing to give birth to a few more heirs for the Guo family!"

"Master, the concubine is also willing to ......"

Liu Baiwei and Yuelan couldn't help but stare at Guo An with anticipation, and there seemed to be a flash of green light in their eyes, which made Guo An panic.

Seeing that Guo An didn't speak, Liu Baiwei said a little aggrieved, "If the master dislikes the two of us, he can also take a few more concubines, and the Guo family's fiefdom must be guarded by someone!" ”

“……”

Guo An hurriedly said, "Sister, don't think about it, my sister and Yuelan are both so young and so beautiful, ...... they're so beautiful."

The corners of Liu Baiwei's mouth curled slightly, and she glared at Guo An with disgust, "So, then the master agreed?" ”

Guo An gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely, "Sheng, give birth to a few litters of cubs, if they dare to disagree with their brothers in the future, we will whip them hard!" ”

“……”

It's night.

In the bedroom of Dingguo Gong, it was very lively, and the movement made the maids waiting on both sides around them full of shyness.

And so it went on for several days.

It wasn't until Guo An, the Duke of Dingguo, had dark circles under his eyes, collapsed on the soft chair in the main hall from exhaustion, and couldn't climb back anymore, that the Dingguo Mansion regained its tranquility.

And the influence of the new prince of the Ming Dynasty has also begun to dissipate.

But.

There are more and more concerts of impeachment against the Duke of Dingguo.

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi took a pile of concerts and reported to Zhu Diyu with a helpless face: "Dad, the wording of those imperial histories' impeachment is becoming more and more violent, if the cabinet doesn't give an answer, those imperial histories will really make a fuss!" ”

"Humph!"

Zhu Di still had a disdainful attitude, "A group of thieves who are different from the outside, how many crimes have they done, and they dare to make trouble?"

Let them make trouble, Guo Zhou is worried about the criminals who are not exiled! ”

Zhu Gaochi: "......"

Come to think of it, that's exactly what happened.

Let these thieves and officials scourge everywhere in the officialdom, it is better to let them go crazy, take advantage of the situation to kill them all, and exile the people in their clan who are not guilty of serious crimes to Guozhou.

If you go there, without the support of those officials and gentry, those people will be handed over to the teacher to be trained well.

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Zhu Di asked again: "By the way, what has Guo Qing been doing these days?" What's going on? ”

Zhu Gaochi was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly reported: "Back to my father, I have been busy with various government affairs these days, and I haven't had time to visit the teacher!" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and didn't say anything more.

Zhu Gaochi took his leave and left.

Following.

Zhu Gaochi ascended to the Dingguo Mansion.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Teacher?"

Seeing Guo An, Zhu Gaochi was a little afraid to recognize each other for a while, "Teacher, what's going on?" Why do you look so tired? ”

“……”

Guo An was stunned for a long time, and he hadn't come up with a suitable reason yet.

Zhu Gaochi asked again: "The teacher has always been in poor health, but this expedition has made his condition worse?" ”

"This ......"

Guo An nodded slowly, "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, but I've been thinking about it for the past few days, and now it's just a matter of building Guozhou, and it took some effort to recover, and I will recover in a few days!" ”

"What kind of medicine is missing in the teacher's home? When I got back, I sent someone to bring it to the teacher! ”

Zhu Gaochi still asked with some concern.

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern!"

Guo An looked grateful, "However, Weichen, the Dingguo Mansion, has still earned a lot of money in the past few years, what medicine can be bought!"

Besides, Weichen is just a new prince, so that His Royal Highness and His Majesty are so favored, it is easy to provoke criticism, especially the jealousy of those thief officials! ”

Zhu Gaochi asked with some surprise: "The teacher also heard that Chen Ying and the other imperial historians have been impeaching the teacher for the past few days?" ”
