"Um?"
Zhu Di's expression condensed, "With me here, you are a coward. Who in the Beiping Mansion can harm you? If anyone dares to cause trouble for you, I will take care of it for you!"
"Please forgive me, Your Highness, but this official is so stupid that he can't think of any good ideas!"
Guo An thought for a moment, then shook his head firmly.
Hearing this, Zhu Di suddenly glared angrily, "If you don't say anything about your traitorous official, we will punish you right now!"
On the side, Zhu Fu, Li Wang and others looked at Guo An with anger on their faces. How dare a little thief official insult His Highness?
"Your Highness, please forgive me!" Guo An looked confused.
"Excuse me!"
Zhu Di said angrily: "Come here, this thief officer dares to bully us, pull him down and beat him twenty times!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Zhu Liang and Li Wang responded quickly.
Immediately, he walked straight to Guo An.
Seeing this, Guo An's face turned pale and he hurriedly begged for mercy from Zhu Di, "Your Highness, please calm down. I'll tell you now. I'll tell you now."
Xiaguan's body bones couldn't withstand the big board. Once the board fell down, Xiaguan was buried directly in the soil. "
"snort!"
Zhu Di snorted coldly, "Why don't you tell me quickly?"
Guo An took a deep breath, bowed to Zhu Di, stood up and said solemnly: "Your Highness, you forced this official to say this. Your Majesty wants to blame me, and you have to save my life."
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment and said with some confusion: "Why should my father blame you for saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Beiping Prefecture?"
Zhu Fu on the side trembled subconsciously, feeling something was wrong.
Guo An sighed helplessly, "Then why does Your Highness still want to tell the official? I'm sure that even if I say it, Your Highness won't be able to do it."
Zhu Di looked solemn and said, "Say!"
Guo An said slowly: "Your Highness, how long does it take for two eight-foot-long ships to arrive at the sea from Beiping Mansion?"
Without thinking, Zhu Di said directly: "Go straight from the North Canal to Tianjin, and then enter the sea from the Haihe River. It will take at most two days to enter the sea."
"Your Highness is wise!"
Guo An casually flattered and said: "Your Highness, you know that the sea is vast and bottomless, and there are countless schools of fish in it. Moreover, sea fish are more nutritious than the meat of chickens, ducks, sheep and goats.
If His Highness can send two large ships from Beiping Prefecture, and only need to fish in the sea for two days, tens of thousands of kilograms of sea fish can be caught.
In this way, if we bring it to Beiping Mansion, the people of Beiping Mansion..."
Before Guo An could finish speaking, Zhu Fu's expression suddenly changed and he scolded Guo An, "Guo An, please stop talking nonsense."
Zhu Di also trembled. He was asked to disobey his father's order and send people into the sea to fish. Wasn't he impatient? If he dares to do this, the terrifying father will personally come to Beiping Mansion with a sword to chop him down!
However, thinking about it, Zhu Di subconsciously thought of the scenes Guo An said in his mind.
I was a little stunned for a moment!
It only takes two large boats and a maximum of two hundred people to return to Beiping Mansion with tens of thousands of kilograms of sea fish in six days...
Now, hundreds of thousands of people in Beiping Mansion cannot afford meat for two or three months...
On the side, Zhu Fu noticed the expression on Zhu Di's face, and his expression changed again, secretly thinking that it was not good!
He was too familiar with this His Highness. He was afraid of His Majesty in Yingtian City, but he was considerate of the people. Moreover, His Highness Prince Yan has become so stubborn that even eight horses cannot pull him back!
"Your Highness must not listen to the temptation of Guo An, a thief official. The sea is full of Japanese pirates. Your Majesty has repeatedly issued bans on anyone who goes out to sea privately for business and fishing..."
Guo An's face turned anxious and he said hastily: "Zhu Changshi did not want to unjustly accuse the official. The official did not dare to say anything about going out to sea to fish. It was His Highness who forced the official to do so.
Moreover, the official just said that fishing can be done at sea, but he also knew that the Ming Dynasty has banned the sea, and he never dissuaded His Highness from sending people out to sea to fish. "
Zhu Fu: "..."
"Okay, stop arguing!"
Zhu Di scolded loudly, and after everyone in the hall fell silent, he took a deep look at Guo An.
Then he asked: "The weather is hot now, even if Beiping Mansion is only two days away from the sea. After these two days, the fish caught will be stinky in the sun. How do you ensure its freshness?"
Guo An said: "Your Highness, after catching the sea fish, bleed it first and then freeze it."
"Freeze?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.
Guo An said: "Your Highness, saltpeter can be used to make ice. You can also put saltpeter and water in the cabin to make ice. This way you can freeze sea fish!"
After saying that, Guo An realized something and quickly dissuaded him with a sincere face: "Your Highness, don't think of stupid things. I am just talking on paper. As long as Your Majesty does not lift the sea ban, Your Highness cannot send troops into the sea to fish. "
Zhu Di said: "Are you, a thief official, teaching me how to do things?"
Guo An quickly admitted his mistake and said, "Your Highness, I forgive you."
"snort……"
Zhu Di snorted coldly and asked again: "Besides going into the sea to fish, what other options do you have?"
Guo Andao: "I think I can call together the wealthy businessmen and gentry in Beiping Prefecture and discuss it with them..."
Before Guo An could finish speaking, Zhu Di scolded angrily: "Damn it, Beiping Mansion is our feudal state. You, a thief official, want me to bow to those merchants?"
"Your Highness, calm down..."
Zhu Di took Zhu Fu, Li Wang and others and left with anger on his face.
Wang Zhen came to Guo An and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking too much. You should not tell His Highness to go fishing this time."
Guo An had a sad look on his face, "Wang Dianshi, you also saw the scene at that time. If I didn't say anything, His Highness King Yan would have slapped me. How many slaps can I take with such a thin body?" ?”
"Besides, don't worry, His Majesty has issued sea bans several times. His Highness will not rashly send people to fish in the sea without His Majesty's consent."
"It's just pity that the hundreds of thousands of people in Beiping Mansion have to have their blood sucked by those profiteers again..."
Wang Zhen looked helpless, "The county magistrate doesn't know His Highness's temper..."
Guo An curled his lips and said nothing.
Now that Beiping Mansion is so short of meat, and the sea not far away is full of meat, how could Zhu Laosi not be tempted?
And after returning to Yanwang Palace.
Zhu Di left Zhu Fu alone and invited Yao Guangxiao again.
Zhu Fu looked worried, "Your Highness, have you really believed Guo An's lies?"
Zhu Di asked: "Zhu Qing thinks that this king should not send ships to the sea?"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Zhu Fu said quickly.
"Amitabha."
On the side, Yao Guangxiao looked confused, "I dare to ask Your Highness, but what happened?"
Zhu Fu quickly told everything about Wanping County Government.
After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Wonderful, fishing in the sea, fishing in the sea..."
Zhu Fu only felt that his eyesight went dark, it was over!
