However, Guo An never expected that the dozens of people he received were just the first wave of vanguard troops.
In less than half a month, more and more people from Wanping County and even Daxing County came to buy cement.
In the end, even Zhu Di was alarmed.
"Guo Qing, we heard that many people are starting to pay for themselves to buy cement and build houses for them?
In just half a month, not only did they buy out the cement in the cement workshop, but they almost even bought out the cement used to build the cement avenue? "
Guo An smiled faintly and replied slowly: "Your Highness, this is indeed the case. However, Wei Chen has already spread the word that cement will no longer be sold to the outside world this year.
By next year, the cement avenue will be paved, and cement can be sold to them again! "
Zhu Di said: "Guo Qing, isn't it delaying the important task of building houses for the people? Can you transport some cement back from Goryeo?"
Guo An said: "Your Highness, the cement used in the cement avenues in Dagukou is all shipped from Korea.
Wei Chen did not expect that the people in Wanping County and Daxing County would become so rich in the past two years.
Wei Chen immediately ordered that our cement workshop in Beiping Prefecture and the cement workshop in Goryeo should be doubled in size! "
"good!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then had a look of emotion on his face.
"Not to mention Guo Qing, I also didn't expect that the people of Beiping Mansion can now afford cement and bricks to build houses!"
Guo Andao: "Your Highness, this is a great thing!"
"It's a great thing!"
Zhu Di sighed with emotion, "When the common people become rich, our Prince Yan's Palace will also become rich!"
Guo Andao said, "Your Highness is wise!"
Zhu Di added: "However, whether it is Wanping County, Daxing County, or other prefectures and counties, those people cannot just focus on growing peppers and abandon food!"
Guo An nodded slightly, "Your Highness, don't worry, as soon as we discover such signs, Wei Chen will correct it in time!"
"Um!"
Zhu Di nodded again.
at the same time.
The gentry in Wanping County, Daxing County, and Tongzhou were also very happy.
The steward of the Huang family ran all the way into the mansion from the outside with a face full of excitement, "Master, the green bricks fired from the four brick kilns in our mansion have been sold out!"
Huang Bi looked surprised, "So fast?"
"Yes, sir, it's not enough to sell!"
The steward said: "Sir, there are still two households in East Village, three households in Lijiazhuang, and six households in Ding Village...
At least twenty households want to buy green bricks. Should we build two more kiln entrances in our house? "
"Twenty households?"
Huang Bi narrowed his eyes in thought. After a moment, he waved his hand and said, "No!"
"Yes, sir!"
The steward responded and asked, "Sir, will the price increase?"
"Price increase?"
Huang Bi's eyes widened and he looked at the steward in disbelief, his face full of solemnity.
"You are not allowed to raise prices, and you are not allowed to secretly do things like substituting quality products for us, or doing things that are worth a pound of salt!"
"master?"
The person in charge said a little doubtfully.
"snort!"
Huang Bi said sternly: "The common people can be bullied, but the Yan Palace cannot be bullied. It was not easy for us to gain the favor of His Highness the King of Yan and Guo Changshi."
After just a short time of donating green bricks, the farmers had already made a fortune.
In the future, you will earn more. "
"If we continue to make money unconscionably and offend Guo Changshi, the Yan Palace will definitely build many brick kilns directly. From now on, we don't know whether the Huang family's brick kilns can survive, let alone think about it. You can make money!”
"But the young master is the second in the list, and he is also the official in the capital..."
"Humph, His Highness King Yan is still a prince!"
"Pass this down, no one in our Huang family is allowed to bully the people with the help of the Huang family! Otherwise, the master will definitely punish him severely!"
"Yes, sir!"
The steward responded hurriedly, and then when he was about to leave, he remembered something and stopped again.
"Anything else?"
"Sir, I heard that the brick kiln at Li's house has not only increased by 10%, but many of the green bricks are of the same quality..."
"snort!"
Huang Bi snorted softly, "That old guy is looking for death, so don't pay any attention to him."
"Yes, sir!"
…
The capital is Yingtian City.
The two tigers quickly walked into Fengtian Hall.
In the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was taking the newly crowned grandson Zhu Yunwen to review the memorial.
"I see you, Your Majesty, Your Highness the Grand Sun!"
"What's the matter?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Highness King Yan has sent people to deliver this year's fleet silver and Japanese tribute silver!"
Erhu quickly reported the news.
"Very good!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked happy and asked: "How much silver will the fourth child hand over this year?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there are five hundred thousand taels of silver, various gold utensils, and ten large boxes in total!
There are still some treasure coins and some rare items left. "
"Go and bring someone to count them carefully for us and register them!"
"I obey the decree!"
Erhu responded quickly and exited.
On the side, Zhu Yunwen looked at the uncontrollable joy in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and couldn't help but ask: "May I ask Grandpa Huang, how much silver did your fourth uncle turn in?"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Yunwen and said slowly: "The fleet that trades with Goryeo is worth 1.5 million taels of silver. Japan will hand over 1 million taels of silver to us!"
"Two million and a half million taels?"
Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of shock.
"Fourth uncle turned in so many?"
"Um!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, "Yunwen, if any vassal king wants to lead troops to attack the vassal country in the future, let them go.
After conquering a vassal state, they will hand over one million taels of silver to us every year. After five years, the wealth accumulated by those vassal states over the years will be brought to the court.
The remaining vassal states, which are completely impoverished and destitute, should be completely handed over to the vassal kings. They can do whatever they want without feeling distressed! "
"Yes, Grandpa Huang!"
Zhu Yunwen responded quickly.
"Um!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, then picked up the next memorial and started reading it.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunwen on the side also picked up a memorial and read it slowly.
"ah?"
Suddenly, Zhu Yunwen exclaimed in a low voice.
"Yunwen, what happened?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a gentle face.
Zhu Yunwen quickly handed the memorial in his hand to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Grandpa Huang, someone actually impeached Duke Liang?"
"oh?"
A trace of curiosity flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, he took the memorial and looked at it curiously.
The more he looked, the darker his face became.
"Somebody come!"
"Summon the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jiang Wei!"
"..."
…
Peking Mansion.
As the weather gets colder, Beiping Mansion has been covered with snow, and the construction sites in Beiping Mansion have gradually stopped.
Only more than half of the cement avenue from Zhangjiawan Pier to Dagukou has been built.
However, a style of craftsmanship has emerged in Beiping Mansion.
"Guo Qing, we heard that you posted a notice to recruit a large number of craftsmen?"
"Back to Your Highness, I have been fond of craftsmanship since I was a child and feel that craftsmanship can create something.
And it just so happens that in the past few years, Wei Chen may stay in Beiping Mansion, just in time to collect some craftsmanship talents! "
"Then why not use the name of Prince Yan's Mansion?"
Zhu Di said with some doubts.
Guo An was stunned, and then quickly explained: "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me. I just think that there are enough craftsmen in the house!"
"not much!"
Zhu Di said directly, "We don't even have a decent masonry workshop in our house!"
Guo Andao: "Your Highness, there is not much profit from blue bricks, and now the gentry in Beiping Prefecture have also built brick kilns, so the profits from the brick kilns will be given to them!"
Zhu Di thought for a while and looked at Guo An in surprise, "Guo Qing, are you going to conquer all those gentry?"
Guo An shook his head quickly, "Your Highness, I don't have such big ambitions."
A trace of disappointment flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.
Guo An continued: "However, if those gentry want to make money, they have to follow our Prince Yan's Palace honestly.
This time, those gentry are smart enough to follow us in Prince Yan's Mansion and donate some bricks to the people who suffered from the disaster. "
“Such a kind act not only gave their green bricks a wave of advertising, but also made farmers recognize them again.
In just a few months, the money they had earned was several times what they had given away the bricks! "
"good!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly, "If these gentry want to make money, they have to come to Prince Yan's Mansion honestly!"
Guo An: "..."
We don't mean the same thing!
At this time.
A Yanshan guard ran in from outside the door.
"Your Highness, Guo Changshi, Xu Qianhu and three thousand brothers have returned from Japan. The fleet has docked at Dagukou!"
"Xu Xiang is back?"
Zhu Di and Guo An were both overjoyed.
"Dispatch the fleet quickly to meet Xu Xiang!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
As the soldiers went down, Zhu Di looked at Guo An again, "Guo Qing, our Yan Palace also needs a large number of craftsmen and a large number of scribes. We want to recover the entire Goryeo and capture the entire Japanese kingdom!"
"Your Highness, the humble minister offered a reward to those merchants and asked them to search for various craftsmen for Prince Yan's Mansion!"
"good!"
…
Ten days later.
Xu Xiang and Tan went through thousands of households and returned to Prince Yan's Mansion.
"The last general met with His Highness King Yan, Guo Changshi and Zhu Changshi!"
"Everyone, please get up quickly!"
Zhu Di laughed and said: "Ma He, quickly tell the chef to serve us hot pot and juice!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Not a moment after Ma He exited, a team of waiters came in carrying basins of steaming copper pots.
In an instant, the entire hall was filled with the rich aroma of meat.
"Xu Xiang, Tan Tong, how is the situation in Japan?"
After he was half full, Zhu Di began to ask.
"Reporting to Your Highness, four big landowners in the Japanese country have completely surrendered to our Prince Yan's Mansion."
"Hey, Your Highness, those Japanese are really cheap. After Mo Jiang and others killed so many Japanese, they were all respectful to Mo Jiang and others. Even when Mo General and others insulted them, they were full of anger. Respectfully!"
"However, these Japanese despise the Koreans from the bottom of their hearts and have no fear of the Koreans..."
"Very good, I will conquer Korea and Japan as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, according to Guo Changshi's instructions, I actually found two mines in Japan!"
"Huh? Can it be captured?"
"Your Highness, what the Japanese value most are iron ore and grain. They don't actually pay much attention to those mines!"
"good……"
…
As Xu Xiang, Tan Tong and other generals returned with three thousand Yanshan Guards, the entire Beiping Mansion began to be joyful again.
Subsequently.
Under Zhu Di's leadership, more than 20,000 Yanshan guards began another round of year-end bounty distribution.
As a result, the military households in Beiping Prefecture began to become rich again.
Each family received at least another thirty thousand dollars.
These military households are also starting to get a little ready to make a move!
…
Please give me a monthly pass
