Zhu Biao nodded slowly, then pondered for a moment, and then said: "Father, the entire Ming Dynasty officials are now intimidated by the power of the father, and are afraid of being investigated by the father if they make the slightest mistake, so they are obedient all day long. I would rather seek stability than act.
However, Wanping County under the rule of Beiping Prefecture is an exception, and in the hearts of the ministers, the magistrate of Guo County is also a wonderful person. "
"Wonderful person?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused.
Zhu Biao smiled faintly, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Father, please read this. This is a letter written by the fourth son to his son. It praises Guo An very much."
"oh?"
A hint of curiosity flashed across Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and he opened it and started reading.
After reading this, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened a little, "This man is so dedicated to his duties and so compassionate to the people?"
"Exactly."
Zhu Biao nodded slowly, "This person is different from ordinary civil servants, otherwise the fourth child would not have gone out of his way to plead with Father for this person."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "In this case, this person should be an official of my Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly, "Father, but Guo An is too close to the fourth child and is no longer tolerated by those officials.
Coupled with the fact that Lao Si went to sea this time, those officials must keep an eye on this person.
If Guo An is not punished, and other officials are not mentioned, those censors will definitely not give up. "
"Hmph, you mean we can't protect a small county magistrate?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked unhappy.
"Father, please forgive me. I never meant this."
Zhu Biao said quickly, "I just feel that as the magistrate of Wanping County, Guo An is so close to me, the Ming Dynasty vassal king, and this trend cannot be encouraged.
However, officials like Guo An cannot be beheaded.
It's better to just follow his wishes.
Since he wants to get closer to the fourth child, let him directly become a subordinate of Prince Yan's Mansion. "
"Since Biao'er thinks so, we have no objection."
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care that much about the whereabouts of a small county magistrate. "But if the fourth brother wants us to release him, it depends on how many fish he can catch in the sea this time? If he loses his life to us, then Guo An He is a big disaster and we will definitely not keep him."
"Thank you, Father!"
Zhu Biao quickly thanked him.
"Okay, send more people to pay more attention to the situation in Beiping. Although our sea ban does not prohibit the Ming Dynasty Lord from going to the sea, those officials are the best at taking advantage of loopholes to find trouble.
If these officials are allowed to insist on this matter, the fourth child will inevitably be punished! "Zhu Yuanzhang ordered again.
"Father, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on the officials below these days!"
Zhu Biao nodded solemnly.
Two days later.
Memorials from Dagukou and Beiping Mansion flew into the sky like snowflakes and were placed on the table in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
All the officials in the court knew that King Zhu Di of Yan had sent people to the sea to catch fish.
The entire Ming Dynasty was in shock.
Especially the officials and businessmen from Zhejiang and Fujian were filled with indignation.
Zhu Yuanzhang directly sent Jiang Yu to Yingtian Mansion to investigate.
Three more days passed.
A group of powerful officials in Yingtian City received news that King Yan not only sent people to the sea to catch marine fish privately, but also sold marine fish in Beiping Mansion with great fanfare. The news reached Yingtian Mansion.
"This evil obstacle..."
In the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Di's face turned black with anger again, and he did not even read the content behind the memorial.
But he didn't notice that Zhu Biao, who was picking up the memorial and looking at it, looked more and more happy as he looked at it.
"Father, I am so happy!"
"Um?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, looked at Zhu Biao and frowned slightly.
"Father, the fourth child only used two eight-foot-long boats to catch 60,000 kilograms of fish from the sea!"
"What?"
Zhu Yuanzhang trembled, took the letter from Zhu Biao's hand, and read it carefully again.
In the letter, Zhu Di clearly informed the entire fishing process.
Therefore, by the time he finished reading, Zhu Yuanzhang already had a rough impression of the fishing process of Zhu Liang and others.
"Two eight-foot-long boats, or river boats, dragged a large fish net into the sea from the mouth of Dagu. After two turns in the sea, they encountered a huge school of sea fish as big as mountains.
Schools of fish roared past, and the nets were filled with fish in an instant.
The sea fish dragged the big boat and ran away...The sea fish in the fishing net was so heavy that it almost overturned the big boat..."
After reading it, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little in disbelief.
"Biao'er, there are so many fish in the sea. Two big boats dragging a big fish net down, just like using a spoon to serve rice in a pot, can easily catch so many big fish. ?”
Zhu Biao opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but found that there was no way to explain such a bizarre thing.
He could only smile bitterly and said: "Father, forgive me, but since ancient times, those who go to the sea to fish are all people living near the sea.
One fisherman in a small boat, even if he uses a fishing net, the net is only two feet long at most. How can it be like Lao Si directly sending two big boats, hundreds of guards and fishermen, dragging a large net that is one foot and fifteen feet long? , like plowing a field, netting fish in the sea? "
"Hahaha, only that bastard like the Fourth Brother can do such a bastard thing!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and cursed directly, his face full of joy.
Zhu Biao said again: "Father, the fourth child also sent someone to bring a hundred catties of frozen sea fish to honor you."
"This kid has a conscience. Bring him here and let us take a look..."
…
With two eight-foot-long river boats, the news spread in Yingtian City that they had caught 60,000 kilograms of fish in the sea in just one day.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a great mood.
Some officials in the court and the central government voluntarily shut up. Sixty thousand kilograms of sea fish could directly turn King Yan's sins into success in the extremely food-deficient Beiping Mansion.
As for some censors and officials who wanted to impeach Zhu Di and Guo An at the court meeting, Zhu Biao and some military officers and nobles pushed back the impeachment officials without waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to speak.
Even, one is more positive than the other.
In the past, His Majesty banned the sea because not only was the sea not beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, but there were also Japanese pirates in the sea who were causing trouble with Qian Yuan, Zhang Shicheng and other remnants.
Now, there are so many fish that can be caught in the sea?
And how big is the sea outside the southeastern territory of the Ming Dynasty?
There is no need to test His Majesty's words. All the generals can imagine that even if His Majesty does not lift the sea ban, he will still send people to the sea to fish.
Therefore, the navy and other generals were even more excited.
As long as His Majesty orders to go fishing in the sea, according to the situation of so many Japanese pirates on the sea, the role of their navy will come!
In the sea, if there were no navy warships to hunt down Japanese pirates and protect the southeastern territory of the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't the Japanese pirates and those pirates be able to disturb the sea territory all the time? How could they go fishing in the sea and turn the sea into a granary?
Sure enough, within a few days, Zhu Yuanzhang's decree was issued.
He ordered Duke Feng Sheng of the Song Dynasty to serve as the general to conquer the captives, and together with the Duke of Ying, Fu Youde, the Marquis of Yongchang, Lan Yu, and others, they led the soldiers of the Beijing Guard to Peiping and met all the Taoist soldiers to practice by the ditch.
In addition, Duke Fu Youde of Ying State led 5,000 navy soldiers to take charge of fishing in the Bohai Sea.
As for Yan King Zhu Di, he was neither punished nor rewarded.
However, all the officials in Beiping Mansion were gloating about the misfortune.
Guo An, the magistrate of Wanping County, was promoted to the right chief historian of the Chief Historian Department of Prince Yan's Palace because of his meritorious service this time!
Although the official rank of the right-hand historian of the palace is fifth rank, he is considered to have been promoted.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is His Majesty’s punishment for Guo An!
…
How should I put it? In fact, the protagonist was originally assigned to be the subjects of Prince Yan’s Mansion. However, if I want to find a good background for the protagonist, I can only become a state official first.
Now, taking advantage of the opportunity, the protagonist must quickly enter Prince Yan's Mansion.
Small trends can be changed, but big trends are irreversible!
If the protagonist wants to live his life, he has to find a boss who has a promising future and is safe!
