For the outside situation.

Guo An didn't pay attention to it, and when the edict of the king was issued, there were more things he had to be busy with.

Especially.

Two days ago, the gate of the Dingguo Mansion was closed, and it was rumored that the Dingguo Mansion was infected with a cold, and some officials and magnates who wanted to give gifts in advance were not allowed to enter.

Thus.

As soon as the holy decree was made, the Duke of Dingguo should be called the king of Shunde County, and he recovered bizarrely.

With such a good opportunity, the powerful officials of the entire Beijing Division have all come to the door.

The first living king with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty, they not only have to make good friends, but the most important thing is to be blessed.

Perhaps, they can also have great luck, even if they can't seal the king with a different surname, they can be like the merchant Jia Shenzhuang, get a viscount, even if it is a baron, they are satisfied!

But.

For these door-to-door gifts, one by one, he had to be cheeky and drag the powerful officials or gentry who had been gossiping about him, Guo An dealt with it for a while, and coughed a few times with a rapid face.

Immediately, his face turned pale and weak, as if an old disease had recurred.

Under the concerned gaze of everyone, Guo Ang took two servants and sent them into the back house.

The entire Guo Mansion is finally a lot quieter.

As for the serious illness of Guo An, the king of Shunde County, it was spread throughout the entire Beijing Division.

Back house.

After Liu Baiwei calmed down, she suddenly looked at Guo An with a worried face.

"Your Highness, all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty must leave Beijing to become vassals. Your Majesty suddenly named you the king of the county, do we all have to leave Jingshi and go to Guozhou? ”

On the side, Yuelan was also full of sorrow, "Yes, old ...... Your Highness, Erniu and they have only been to Guozhou for more than a year.

Now, I don't know if the house in Guozhou has been built? ”

"Don't worry too much!"

Guo An smiled lightly, "It is not written in the edict, and we will drive our family to Guozhou."

Moreover, our Shunde Palace, in the Jingshi General Mountain, also has a fief.

Xingtai County, Shunde Prefecture, is also our fiefdom, and those civil officials dare to force our family to go to the domain, let's go to Jiangjun Mountain to become a domain, or go to Xingtai County to become a domain! ”

Liu Baiwei and Yuelan listened, and the worry on their faces disappeared suddenly.

Next.

Guo An wore a crown of wings and a red dragon robe, and under the escort of Xu Yong and other Yanshan guards, he entered the palace to thank him.

This time, it was still in the martial arts.

Zhu Di had already sat lazily on the soft chair, resting quietly, and the table on one side was empty, and there was no movement.

Guo An respectfully stepped forward and thanked him.

Zhu Di smiled slightly, "How do you feel after becoming the king of the county?" ”

Guo An's face was suddenly full of sincere fear, "Let Your Majesty smile, Weichen is afraid, I am afraid of living up to Your Majesty's love!" ”

Zhu Di asked: "The entire Jingshi has spread all over the world, you, the new king of Shunde County, are seriously ill, how are you doing now?" ”

Guo An hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty is worried, but Weichen's health is very good now, yesterday was just a cold wind, and there were more people who came to the house, and Weichen was tired, so he was a little uncomfortable!" ”

"That's it!"

Zhu Di glanced at Guo An lightly, and said: "We have already explained to the kings about you being the king of the county, and they will not embarrass you."

As for those officials in the court, they are too late to slap you in now, let alone stare at you and find trouble with you! ”

"Your Majesty is so gracious, the minister can't repay it!"

Guo An's face was full of emotion.

Zhu Di said: "If you find more good seeds for our Daming, and build more useful objects, it will be a reward for us and Daming!" ”

Guo Andao: "The minister will do his best!" ”

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded with great satisfaction, and then continued: "As for the matter of opening your mansion, you decide for yourself, all the officials, we don't have to ask."

Your Shunde two guards, personnel supplements, and it is easy to do.

The one guard in Guozhou will be transferred to you Shunde Wei, and as for the remaining other guard, Xu Yong and other Yanshanwei in your house will be directly merged.

For the rest of the personnel, we will transfer some generals to you from the several armies of the Beijing Division.

These two guards, one guards Guozhou, and the other guards the palace. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Guo An hurriedly thanked him.

Zhu Di said again: "As for your palace, we know that you like to run a mansion, and your current mansion has been renovated by you without knowing how much effort you have spent on it."

We won't give you another palace, let's give you the two houses on both sides of your house, and you can renovate it yourself! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Guo An replied again.

However, Guo An's expression is still a little different from before.

After all, he is no longer a Ming noble, but a king with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty.

From the moment he accepted the holy decree, the entire imperial history of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the civil officials, were staring at him closely, wanting him to make mistakes.

Zhu Di said again: "Guo Qing, we took the risk of violating the ancestral system, opening a precedent for the Ming Dynasty, and naming you as the king with a different surname, because when you were in Beiping Mansion, you used your meritocracy to gradually improve the Ming Dynasty.

Even when the emperor is alive, when he sees your contribution to the Ming Dynasty, he will be crowned king.

You can still do what you think you need to do as you always do! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Guo An replied again.

Seeing Guo An like this, Zhu Di was also a little helpless in his heart, when he was a child, he had just been crowned king by the imperial examination, and he was only happy for a few days, and then he felt the pressure of being crowned king.

Therefore, he didn't continue to say more, just waved his hand, "Go, let's hope to see a new picture of Daming again!" ”

"Yes, Weichen retires!"

Guo An saluted respectfully, and then led by a chamberlain, he left the palace.

It's just that as soon as I walked out of the palace gate, I was stunned.

Shen Zhuang and Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi, Guo Changchen, and Guo Shanyuan, these five people are standing respectfully at the gate of the palace.

Seeing this, Guo An couldn't help but walk over, and asked with some doubts: "Why are you here, but what happened?" ”

"I've seen Your Highness!"

Shen Zhuang, Guo Bingyong and others hurriedly saluted Guo An.

Immediately, he explained: "Your Highness, nothing happened! ”

"What about you?"

Guo An asked with some confusion.

Guo Bingyong said: "Your Highness, we are here to enter the palace to thank you!" ”

"Shane ......"

Guo An reacted at this time, and his eyes were a little emotional.

Shen Zhuang and Guo Bingyong and others are already viscounts, the magnates of the Ming Dynasty!

Thinking about it, Guo An instructed again: "Treat Your Majesty, you should be respectful, honest, and don't hide anything!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Shen Zhuang, Guo Bingyong and others nodded again and again.

Now, for Guo An, they are also more restrained.

Guo An also saw this.

But he couldn't do anything, just nodded slightly, got into the carriage, and headed home.

At the same time.

Shen Zhuang and Guo Bingyong and others, under the leadership of the palace attendants, also came to Wulou.

It will.

Zhu Di has been promoted, and a pile of concertos has been placed on the table.

Shen Zhuang, Guo Bingyong and others came in, bowed their heads tightly, and saluted respectfully according to what the eunuch taught yesterday.

Zhu Di responded gently, and after letting a few people get up.

Then he instructed: "At this point, you will be my Ming Viscount, although there is no official position, but also for me Ming magnates."

You can't bully people, you should do more practical things for me......"

Guo Bingyong and Guo Zhi said with solemn faces: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen and the others have no great ability, they can only fiddle with the fields and cultivate good seeds."

Weichen and others are lucky to have such a love from His Majesty, Weichen and others will definitely work harder to cultivate new good breeds for my Ming Dynasty! ”

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction.

Shen Zhuang also followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't have much ability, he can only do business and manage shops!"

Wechen will do his best to manage the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce for His Majesty! ”

“……”

Shen Zhuang, Guo Bingyong and others all spoke very simple and straightforward.

However, it also made Zhu Di even more satisfied.

He didn't know how many times he had heard those words that were like springs and lotus flowers.

Such straightforward and sincere words are what he likes to hear the most.

It's just that, although he is satisfied with Shen Zhuang and Guo Bingyong and others, but in the end he is just a viscount, Zhu Di said a few words again, and then asked the chamberlain to take Shen Zhuang and Guo Bingyong and others out.

Out of the palace gate.

Not a few steps yet.

Shen Zhuang, Guo Bingyong and others were blocked from the road.

After being rewarded as viscounts, they were already considered the magnates of the Ming Dynasty.

No matter how many people look down on them, there will still be many people who want to slap them!

But.

Today, they are someone else who simply can't deal with it.

Since they entered the palace to thank them, they had to go to the Shunde palace to thank them.

In this matter, they are not afraid of those imperial histories holding on!

Anyway, from the very beginning, they have already been labeled as Guo An.

Not to mention, their viscount was brought to them by Guo An!

Shunde Palace.

After Guo An came back, he lay directly on the soft chair, thinking about Zhu Di's words today.

Now, Zhu Laosi feels that he Guo An can still take out some things in his mind that are beneficial to Daming.

Zhu Laosi was right, there were indeed a lot of things in his mind, and he didn't take them out.

However, just with the ones he took out, the Craftsman School, and the master craftsmen in so many workshops in Jiangjun Mountain, couldn't eat it through.

Da Ming can't use it!

That's some system?

However, Boss Zhu's madness set up a corresponding system for everything and everyone in Daming, and let him change it?

He is tired and doesn't say anything, and even changes the Ming system, which is getting worse and worse!

So what else can he do......

No, Boss Zhu hasn't handed over the corn and sweet potatoes promised to him yet!

Thinking of this, Guo An's eyes widened, and he regretted it very much, he didn't play well in the palace today!

At this time.

Guo Ang slowly walked into the main hall and said to Guo An: "Your Highness, Viscount Shen and the four viscounts of the Guo family ask to meet!" ”

"Shen Zhuang them?"

Guo An looked up and asked.

"Exactly!"

Guo Ang nodded hurriedly, but didn't say anything more.

Now, he is already the chief manager of the Shunde Palace, and the more rigorous he is, the more rigorous he is.

"Let them in!"

Guo An had already thought of the purpose of Shen Zhuang, Guo Bingyong and the others.

But.

At the thought of being able to bring out five viscounts, he still had a hint of pride in his heart.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Guo Ang bowed in response, and then retreated lightly.

Guo An smiled faintly and didn't say much.

What else can a steward who seeks progress say?

Less than a moment.

Guo Ang led Shen Zhuang, as well as Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi, Guo Changchen, and Guo Shanyuan, and walked in.

The five of them stood in front of Guo An in a row, bowing respectfully, their faces full of gratitude.

"We can be named a viscount by His Majesty, glorify our ancestors, and be crowned a wife and son, all by His Royal Highness, such great kindness and great virtue, we will definitely remember it!"

"It doesn't have to be this way!"

Guo An still has the same attitude as before, "Although I have help in this matter, I have waited for one by one, and I have not held back." ”

Saying that, Guo An remembered something, so he looked at Shen Zhuang, "Boxi, although you are now a viscount, there will still be some officials who are jealous of you, and they will stare at you if they have nothing to do."

Unless you do something great, you can silence those officials completely.

The tomatoes and potatoes we are talking about, you also have to pay attention to them, but you can't relax.

If you can find the potato, it will be a great achievement.

Although it is impossible to give you the title of marquis, this great achievement will inevitably make Your Majesty grow a long face, and it will also benefit the people of the Ming Dynasty!

At that time, His Majesty's reward will inevitably be indispensable! ”

Hearing this, Shen Zhuang's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, that after I go back, I will send more people again.

As long as there are such potatoes in the hands of overseas barbarians, they will definitely be recovered! ”

"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded slightly, and said lightly again: "Because of corn and sweet potatoes, the five of you have been named viscounts, and I have also been named the king of the county."

In this way, the powerful officials of the entire Ming Dynasty will inevitably pay more attention to those grain crops in the hands of overseas barbarians.

If you are one step late, and the potatoes are brought back by those people first, and handed over to Your Majesty, then you will have no chance! ”

At this moment, Shen Zhuang was shocked and nodded again and again.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reminder!"

"If only you understood!"

Guo An didn't say anything more.

As for Guo Bingyong, Guo Zhi, Guo Changchen, and Guo Shanyuan on the side, although they were curious about potatoes.

However, he was not as anxious as Shen Zhuang.

That's the confidence of technicians!

No matter who brought the potato back, when the time came to cultivate it, it would definitely not be able to bypass the four brothers.

The credit for it must be given to them!

Forthwith.

Next, Shen Zhuang, Guo Bingyong and others talked to Guo An again for a while, and then began to say goodbye and leave one by one.

Although they have also become powerful people in the Ming Dynasty, they are still a little restrained in the face of Guo An, the king of the county.

……

Following.

The plaque of the Shunde Royal Mansion was completed, and Xu Yong and others carefully replaced the plaque of the Dingguo Mansion and hung it.

Meantime.

The land deeds of the two courtyards on both sides of Guo's mansion were also lost and personally sent to Guo An.

As for the arrangement of the two guards in Shunde, Guo An also found Xu Yong.

"Our Shunde Palace, there will be two guards. The first guard is the one guarding Guozhou, and the other guard, Your Majesty is ready to start forming on the basis of your hundred households.

You have been following me for so many years, and when you have the opportunity, I will promote you to a thousand households first, is it feasible? ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, the last general is willing!"

Xu Yong's face was full of joy.

"As for the brothers of these 100 households, they all have the opportunity to be promoted, you look for an opportunity, and they will all be promoted to the next level.

In the future, when you are familiar with it, we will slowly give you a promotion! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Xu Yong was even more overjoyed, seeing that the brothers he was with before entered the Shenji Camp or went to other guards, and they were all promoted one by one, he was not in a hurry, it was fake!

He didn't expect that he would be promoted so quickly without having to make any achievements!

Subsequently.

Guo An called Xu Yong again, and there were some old people who had been loyal to the house.

He can never open the house.

However, the specifications of the servants in his palace must be raised by one liter!
