Spring goes and autumn comes.

When the people of Daming began to feel a new round of harvest experience.

An eight-hundred-mile rapid ride suddenly ran along the wide cement straight road from the northwest to Jingshi Yingtian City.

At the same time, there was also an expedited fast ride, which also ran from Zhejiang to the Ming Jingshi Ying Tiancheng.

"Report!"

"Li Jinglong, the general of the expedition to the west, has led 50,000 troops to conquer the west and returned from the Western Regions......"

"Report, my Daming Navy Division fleet has also returned from the Western Ocean! There were four or five hundred more ships in the fleet than when they went! ”

With so much gold, silver and jewelry, these generals are worth it.

A few days later.

"I have this sweet potato, it's really good! Just put it on the fire and bake it for a while, without adding any condiments, it is the sweetest delicacy.

Your Majesty is now unprecedented, and his martial arts are unprecedented, but Wenzhi and Weichen feel that it is almost meaningful! ”

Maybe it won't take more than ten years, and I, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, will not be able to bear it. ”

Guo An smiled faintly, "Your Highness, there are at least ten years left."

Guo Shen, on the other hand, was a little worried.

Yisha hurriedly walked down with a happy face.

Zhu Gaochi's expression was solemn, "Teacher, don't worry, I not only arranged for my henchmen to monitor.

Guo An shook his head slowly, "Your Majesty, on the bright side, Weichen is the king of Daming County, his identity is respected, and no one dares to mess with him."

Guo An said: "Your Highness, this is better than these vassal kings putting their minds on the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Four hundred ships of gold, silver, and jewelry?"

If the Weichen Shunde County Mansion is not favored by His Majesty, I am afraid that those hundred officials will jump out one by one and attack Weichen......"

"Your Majesty, it's been so long, it's time for sweet potatoes to be roasted!"

"Your Majesty forgives me, Weichen didn't mean that!"

After speaking, he excitedly peeled the sweet potato with his hands, revealing the golden sweet potato flesh inside, and at the same time the aroma was overflowing.

"Our Ming Dynasty was so miserable by those Mongolian Tartars in the former Yuan, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, we should let the land of China prosper again!"

"Hahaha......"

Looking at the dried sweet potato skin remaining under his feet, Zhu Di couldn't help but admire his face again.

At this time, Zhu Di couldn't help but glance at Guo Shen, "Why is your kid so different from Guo Qing!" ”

"Slave understands!"

However, this is because His Majesty trusts Wechen.

"What does Guo Qing think?"

Regarding Zhu Di's reward for a group of generals, the opposition of the officials in the court was much smaller.

Seeing this, Guo An, Zhu Gaochi, and Guo Shen on the side also picked up a sweet potato and ate it.

……

"This year's sweet potatoes are another bumper harvest. Those who received the sweet potatoes last year, after returning the sweet potatoes, the sweet potatoes at home can still fill a warehouse.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness, the compensation demanded by the Duke of Cao from Timur is about four hundred ships!

Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, as well as Guo Shen, were all speechless.

Then, regardless of the scalding, he directly pinched it with his hands a few times.

"Who made this kid look like a nerd all day long!"

Moreover, a lower belly is still a little full.

Then, he said with a straight face: "However, Weichen feels that it is only to expand the territory and build the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty can prosper, there are still some shortcomings!" ”

"Oh?"

"The army of the expedition to the west and the sailor are back?"

Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, also took the 50,000 army to the west, followed the cement straight road, and returned to Beijing.

The Ming Dynasty governed by His Majesty will inevitably be more prosperous than the Tang Dynasty! ”

……

Zheng He hurriedly responded.

Guo An's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly explained: "The meaning of Weichen, the glory and wealth of Weichen's Shunde County Royal Mansion all depend on His Majesty's favor, and he has no prestige in the court.

"Hahaha, good!"

Guo An said respectfully: "Weichen respectfully obeys His Majesty's orders!" ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded in agreement.

Xia Yuanji hurriedly sighed, and then hurriedly took a group of household officials and walked towards the big boat.

"Every ten years?"

“……”

But despite this, Daming has another batch of viscounts and counts!

And the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty also began to move.

Hearing this, Zhu Di was even more overjoyed.

"Now that I'm fighting in Daming, I can really make Daming rich!"

"Your Majesty, there will be no war in my Ming Dynasty next year. Corn and potatoes can also be promoted, and the lives of the people will be more prosperous! ”

"How many treasures do you have to bring back?"

In less than a month, there were hundreds of large ships, carrying thousands of Ming vassal kings and generals, going to the South and Western Oceans.

With so much gold, silver and jewelry, how long will they have to count?

Only then did the officials remember their task, and their expressions became bitter.

A sweet potato went down to the stomach, and several people felt that their stomachs were full again.

"Yes, if I attack a few more Timurid countries, then my Ming Dynasty will not have a rich treasury, and even pave the whole country with cement straights!"

"Three hundred big ships, all full of gold, silver, jewelry, iron, iron, armor, knives and guns?"

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "Ten years, or even fifteen years later, my father is still strong, and the teacher is still my great pillar stone."

The other side.

"Timur is a good people!"

……

Zhu Di also approved all of them.

As for the barbarian country outside, it has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, no matter if he floods, or change the dynasty!

Then, thinking of the railway outside, Guo An couldn't help but remind again: "Your Highness, the railway is a reopening of the road, and there will inevitably be a lot of dirty things in it, and you need to send more henchmen to supervise it." ”

"What the teacher said is right, those people from the country of Timur are really a group of good people!"

Inside, there are four huge sweet potatoes, the skin of which has begun to change color, and it also exudes an attractive fragrance.

After a while, I don't know what to remember, Zhu Gaochi sighed slightly, "The fact that the army of Zhengxi wants so much compensation from Timur is enough to prove that those barbarian countries overseas are very rich.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

It's just that Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi are full of curiosity and expectation.

Zhu Di was stunned, and hurriedly picked up an iron clip on the side and took out a sweet potato.

On the palace of Shunde County, Guo An listened to Zhu Gaochi's words, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Wechen is worried that this kid will be bullied by others in the future! ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true!"

"It's time to get married, too!"

"Three hundred ships!"

Zhu Di's eyes widened, "How can we be such people who don't distinguish between right and wrong?"

Also, how could the prince be such a faint king? ”

Guo An couldn't help but glared at Guo Shen, and then didn't continue the topic.

Guo Shen didn't know how to reply to this sentence!

Ahead, after Xia Yuanji came back to his senses, he glared fiercely at the officials who were full of excitement, "Be cautious, three hundred big ships are enough for me to wait for more than half a month."

"Sweet potato? …… Yes, yes, the sweet potatoes should be ripe too! ”

"Cooked, cooked!"

And reward the Great Ming Water Master!

At the same time, piggyback on the property seized by the sailor.

"That's it!"

All kinds of gold armor, forks, bracelets, bowls and chopsticks, as well as all kinds of gold bricks and gold ingots, a total of 2,000 stones!

All kinds of silver armor, silver forks, silver bowls and chopsticks, silver ingots, 23,000 stones!

All kinds of iron armor, knives and guns, and iron tools also have about 30,000 stones!

There are also all kinds of pearl treasures, 4,000 boxes!

As for the remaining grain, or some specialties of the Western Regions, there are countless of them.

There is also a small oven on the side.

Guo Shen, who was staring at the stove, heard Zhu Di's question, and suddenly became smart, and hurriedly replied with a respectful face.

“……”

And those officials in the DPRK and China will most secretly make some small moves.

Guo Shen couldn't help but nod slowly.

“……”

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi, with the officials, once again greeted Li Jinglong and the other troops at the gate of the city!

With the return of the army to the west, Zhu Di rewarded his meritorious deeds in the court.

Why so many?

The eyes of all the officials have changed!

Zhu Di was overjoyed, "Tell the Ministry of Rites, prepare to welcome my great hero of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Guo An arched his hand slightly, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that Your Majesty still needs a Hongding ceremony, which can not only benefit future generations, but also highlight Your Majesty's cultural governance!" ”

However, many officials uphold the idea of giving more rewards and less knighthood.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is sixteen this year!"

Under the anticipation of the courtiers in the court, the officials of the household department worked day and night to finally count the gold, silver and jewelry on the more than 300 large ships transported back by the sailors.

Zhu Di couldn't help but glance at Guo An, "Now now, in the entire Ming Dynasty, who else dares to bully you Shunde County Palace?" ”

Zhu Gaochi looked at Guo An in a daze for a long time, and said slowly: "Teacher, what kind of excuse should I make for Daming?" ”

"The household department and the officials of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies went up to count together!"

"A hundred great ships of gold and silver jewels?"

Zheng He and other members of the chamber of commerce's fleet have also taken the lead in returning.

If all of them were brought back by the sailor, those officials would definitely keep a close eye on the money, and would not hand over a box of gold, silver and jewels to His Majesty.

Guo An said: "I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, not only live and work in peace and contentment, but also earn more money from those barbarians in the West and Nanyang.

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Those that can be auctioned will be auctioned, and those that can't be auctioned will be transported into the palace!"

It just so happens that in the past few years, the cement straight road has been paved, as well as the casting train, the railway has been paved, and the palace is empty! ”

"yes!"

"yes......"

Zhu Di's expression was also solemn: "Where is the difference?" ”

"Hmm!"

Guo An pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, every generation of Ming Jun should have civil and martial arts.

Guo An, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and Guo Shen sat together.

After a while, Zhu Di said slowly: "Guo Qing is worried a little too early!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi, and Guo Shen immediately looked at Guo An closely.

Even, the father sent the brocade guard to watch! ”

"I will be prosperous!"

Zhu Gaochi turned his head and glanced at the household officials who had already begun to glow with green light, and could only sigh helplessly.

This sweet potato is a delicacy for thousands of people in my Ming Dynasty! ”

Zheng He said again: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, that no one knows about the gold, silver and jewels of the hundred big ships except for some cronies under Hou Duan and the slaves!" ”

"The baked sweet potatoes are really fragrant!"

Guo An was finally relieved.

"Exactly!"

"Your Majesty has done it!"

Zhu Gaochi, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, brought the officials of the Ministry of Rites, as well as a number of officials from the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, to Suzhou Mansion to meet the Daming Naval Division.

Therefore, the slave maid, Hou Duan and others privately put the gold, silver and jewelry of a hundred large ships into the slave maid's caravan. ”

When Weichen was alive, he could still suppress those civil officials.

"But ......"

This time, Daming is really rich!

After getting on the boat, after seeing the full amount of things piled up in the cabin, the eyes of the household officials suddenly turned golden.

"Hmm!"

on this.

And at this time.

Zhu Gaochi was stunned, and couldn't help but nod his head with some agreement.

"I heard that the fleet of sailors is four or five hundred more than when I went!"

Zhu Di praised it, and ate it directly, exhaling hot air while eating.

Guo Shen's eyes were even more frightened, Dad, why are you so bold?

Ten years later, the situation is changing rapidly, and this question should be left to those officials and generals who follow! ”

Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes flashed,

"Exactly!"

Soon.

After listening to Zheng He and Hou Duan's introductions, Zhu Gaochi and the officials couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Perhaps, from this year onwards, as long as the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty have a prince who leads troops to fight or guards the palace, these vassal kings will be eager to go to Nanyang!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and continued: "I think back then, when we were sixteen, we married the queen!" ”

If Weichen is gone, Guo Shen, this kid is a nerd, maybe he will be bullied by those civil officials! ”

Shunde County Palace, in a pavilion.

"The year-end bonus for officials such as me will also be more ......"

Under the Nanyang Concert, he also flew into the palace one by one.

Guo An: "......"

Next year, wait until next year, all the people of Daming can plant sweet potatoes! ”

The slave and maid knew very well that the officials in the court were eager to take out all the money from His Majesty's internal funds.

Guo An said again: "So, Weichen suggested, if you can, every ten years, or fifteen years, I can send sailors to attack the country of Timur!" ”

Hearing the news, the entire court was dumbfounded.

Guo An nodded and said.

In this matter, you may also need to bother the teacher! ”

After Zhu Gaochi arranged a group of matters, he returned to Beijing with a group of officials and sailors.

Zhu Gaochi's mouth opened slightly, a little incredulous.

Guo An nodded slightly, "Ten years should be enough for those Timurid countries to save some gold, silver and jewelry, and they can also take it with me to train the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Only Da Ming is the territory of their old Zhu family.

"What the teacher said is very true!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, and said with some concern: "I hope these uncles won't toss Nanyang into shape!" ”

"Guo Shen, you are sixteen this year!"

Rich!

Speaking of this, Zhu Di's eyes lit up.

The entire Jingshi suddenly stirred.

Hurry up and count all the gold, silver, jewelry, and iron tools, and report to Your Majesty! ”

Zheng He and Hou Duan nodded slightly.

Guo An thought about it and nodded slightly.

"Yes!"

Guo An smiled lightly, "Your Majesty, Weichen is also worried, these boys read those sage books all day long, and they have been bound by various rituals and become a nerd.

And this time.

"Hong Ding Ceremony?"

Zhu Di looked even more curious, "Guo Qing, what is this?" ”
