Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 402 Zhu Yuanzhang: That Guo An is really a good boy.
In an instant, Xu Huizu understood Guo An's thoughts.

Guo An is uniting with Ming Dynasty Wuxun to help the East Palace.

In this way, His Majesty suddenly agreed to open the sea and put the East Palace in charge of this matter... Are you asking the gentry and merchants along the southern coast to be favored by the East Palace?
Is it also His Majesty's wish to involve the Ming Dynasty's top military figures such as Wei Guogong's Palace, Cao Guogong Palace, Wuding Marquis Palace, and Changxing Marquis Palace?
But why is Your Majesty so anxious?
Could it be that... His Majesty's body has...

Xu Huizu's eyes narrowed and he nodded subconsciously.

"We, the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Cao, cannot handle such a big business, so it would be good to give some to Marquis Wuding and Marquis Changxing!"

"This will trouble Duke Wei!"

Guo An's face brightened.

He really just fell in love with Wuding Marquis Guo Ying and Changxing Marquis Geng Bingwen.

Now, these two people are the only two Wuhou who have achieved great results among the many martial arts heroes who followed Lao Zhu to conquer the world.

Of course, those who were exiled by Zhu Yuanzhang to the Goryeo Kingdom of Yan and the Kingdom of Japan did not count.

Even if Lao Zhu dies and Zhu Di ascends the throne, it will be impossible to recall them.

Moreover, although Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen is not famous, his merits are not low.

When Lao Zhu ranked the heroes, he ranked Geng Bingwen and General Xu Da first.

The only troublesome thing is that Geng Bingwen's eldest son, Geng Xuan, married the eldest daughter of former crown prince Zhu Biao, Princess Jiangdu.

But now, Zhu Yunwen has been deposed, Jiangdu Princess has lost her promotion to Jiangdu Princess, and Geng Xuan has lost her hope of being promoted to Prince Consort Captain. I hope Geng Bingwen won't take it too seriously.

As for Wuding Hou Guo Ying, he was not only loyal to Lao Zhu Chidan, but also Lao Zhu's father-in-law, and his sister was Lao Zhu's favorite concubine.

It is a pity that the Duke of Xinguo's Palace has declined since Tang He, Duke of Xinguo, has no heirs to claim the Duke's throne.

Otherwise, we can just gather five martial arts.

It can be seen that Xu Huizu's reputation among the martial arts heroes in the capital is pretty good, and it took less than half an hour.

Duke Cao Li Jinglong, Marquis of Wuding Guo Ying, and Marquis of Changxing Geng Bingwen all came in person.

"Boy Xu, you called us here in such a hurry, but what's the big deal?"

As soon as he came in, Wuding Hou Guo Ying raised his voice and was a little unhappy.

Behind him, Li Jinglong and Geng Bingwen also looked curious.

"Ok?"

However, after seeing Guo An and Zhu Gaochi, they were both stunned.

"Young Master Zhan Shi Guo An of the East Palace Zhan Shi Mansion has met Duke Cao Guo, Marquis Wu Ding, and Marquis Changxing!"

Li Jinglong nodded slightly, "Congratulations to Guo Changshi on your promotion."

Immediately, he hurriedly greeted Zhu Gaochi again.

"Wei Chen has met His Royal Highness!"

"Emperor's grandson?"

Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying also hurriedly paid tribute.

"Old minister, I have met His Royal Highness!"

Zhu Gaochi also stood up in a hurry and returned the greeting: "Dong Cao Guo, Wu Dinghou, and Changxing Hou must not be too polite. You have made great contributions to our Ming Dynasty and are all elders. It is only Gao Chi who pays homage to you!"

Indeed, whether it is Li Jinglong, Geng Bingwen or Guo Ying, they are Zhu Gaochi's elders in every way.

"Your Highness is welcome!"

Zhu Gaochi, the Crown Prince of Yan?
At this time, Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying finally understood Zhu Gaochi's identity.

However, a trace of doubt could not help but flash in his eyes.

Thinking about it, the two of them looked directly at Xu Huizu on the side.

Xu Huizu said quickly: "Come on, please sit down, you three. Inviting three of you to come today is a great thing, a great thing to make money!"

A great way to make money?

Hearing this, Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying suddenly felt vigilant in their hearts.

If there is a good thing about making money, will Xu Huizu share it with us?
Suddenly, an inexplicable and absurd thought came to his mind. Could it be that the Crown Prince Zhu Di was so impatient that he wanted to ascend the throne?

They already regretted coming to the Wei Guogong Mansion!

No one in the Xu family is good!

I invited three of them, but I didn’t explain it clearly to them!
If the four of them gather together, if they arouse the fear of that person in the palace, wouldn't it be like Feng Sheng's, and their family will be destroyed directly?
However, regret is regret, Guo An and Zhu Gaochi are here, especially Zhu Gaochi, the future emperor's grandson, they cannot be rude!

When the maid in the house brought the warm tea, Xu Huizu also smiled softly and spoke slowly.

"Everyone, Guo Shaozhan told us that His Majesty is preparing to open the sea.

Let His Highness the Crown Prince prepare a fleet to go to the West for trade like the Maritime Silk Road of the Song and Yuan Dynasties..."

"Your Majesty wants to open the sea?"

"Is this true? Your Majesty regards overseas barbarians as savage beasts. Why did you suddenly agree to open the sea?"

"Half the ingredients are 50 treasure notes?"

When Xu Huizu finished speaking, Guo Ying, Geng Bingwen and others all showed the same expression.

His face was full of shock and disbelief!
"This matter is absolutely true. The lower official will be responsible for the affairs of the East Palace caravan. As for the edict and specific matters, His Highness the Crown Prince said that it will be issued in two days at most!"

Guo An and Zhu Gaochi both nodded slightly.

At this moment, Li Jinglong, Guo Ying and others suddenly looked overjoyed.

Immediately, Guo Ying couldn't help but frown, with a sad look on his face.

"However, half of the people just want 50 taels of banknotes. It's really too expensive. We can't afford so much money even if everyone sells iron and steel. Can we discuss with His Highness the Crown Prince to make it cheaper?"

On the side, Li Jinglong and Geng Bingwen also had the same expression.

They all thought that Prince Zhu Di couldn't afford so much money and wanted to beg some money from them.

Guo An: "..."

Xu Huizu said with a smile: "Wu Dinghou, Guo Shaozhan means that our four families should share half of it equally!"

"What? Only half done?"

Li Jinglong, Guo Ying and others suddenly stared.

"Why does Guo Shaozhan look down on us so much? After all, we are also the residence of a prince and a prince. Although each family cannot raise 50 taels of banknotes, we can still raise 30 taels of banknotes!"

Xu Huizu coughed lightly, "We, the Duke of Wei, can only scrape together more than [-] taels of treasure!"

Geng Bingwen: "My family can almost scrape together 10 taels of treasure banknotes!"

Guo Ying also followed closely and said: "We also have 10 taels of banknotes in our house!"

Li Jinglong: "..."

"In this case, let's pay 20 taels of treasure banknotes, and Wei Guogong, Wu Dinghou, and Changxing Marquis each pay 10 taels of treasure banknotes!

I'll wait for four families to share the half percent equally! "

"Can!"

Xu Huizu, Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying looked at each other and nodded slowly.On the side, Guo An kept watching with an old-fashioned look on his face.

After Xu Huizu and Li Jinglong had reached an agreement, they spoke out.

"Tomorrow, we will bring the deed with the seal of His Royal Highness, and ask four of you to sign and seal it!"

"Can!"

"Guo Shaozhan is really particular about his work!"

Both Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying couldn't help but look happy.

Guo An added: "However, His Majesty has not issued the edict yet, so please keep this matter secret!"

"It's natural!"

"I and others will never talk nonsense!"

Geng Bingwen and Guo Ying said solemnly.

After Wuxun Group was settled, Guo An took Zhu Gaochi to leave.

Geng Bingwen, Guo Ying, and Li Jinglong all glared at Xu Huizu fiercely and left quickly.

……

Wait until you return to the East Palace.

Zhu Gaochi then said: "Teacher, my uncle, Wu Dinghou and Changxing Hou don't trust this matter?"

Guo An smiled faintly and explained: "Your Highness, it is also possible that the 10 taels of banknotes are the money that Wu Dinghou and Changxing Hou need to sell iron to get out."

Zhu Gaochi shook his head slightly: "No, banknotes are much cheaper than silver. They are also the founders of the country. The money they took from the war is more than this. They must have so many banknotes.

They just feel that our East Palace is short of money and cannot raise the money needed for the fleet to sail to the West, so they want to ask for money from them. "

Guo Andao: "Your Highness, these are not important. As long as they participate, they are considered an interest group of the East Palace. When necessary, they will be the help of His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Gaochi's face was stunned.

"Gao Chi is so stupid that he didn't see the teacher's true intention!"

Guo An comforted him in a slow voice: "It's okay. When you meet more in the future, you will naturally be able to see a person's intentions quickly!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly.

Guo An continued: "In this case, the matter of the deed will be troublesome to Your Highness!"

Zhu Gaochi was suddenly stunned: "..."

……

at the same time.

After Geng Bingwen returned to Changxing Hou Mansion, his face turned dark.

"Damn Xu Huizu, I trust you so much, but you actually deceive me like this!

And that Yan..."

As he spoke, Geng Bingwen thought of something and quickly shut up.

At this time, Geng Bingwen's second son, Geng Ping, received the report from his servants and hurriedly came over and asked Geng Bingwen with concern on his face.

"Dad, what's the big deal for Duke Wei Guo to come to you in such a hurry?"

"bad thing!"

Geng Bingwen said angrily, "Hurry and prepare 10 taels of banknotes, we will use them tomorrow!"

"10 taels of banknotes?"

Geng Ping's face changed greatly, "Dad, what have you done? 10 taels is all the wealth of our family!"

Geng Bingwen said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to use it. If you don't want to inherit our Marquis of Changxing in the future, then there is no need to take it!"

Geng Ping's expression changed again, he sighed heavily, and walked down to prepare the 10 taels of banknotes.

at the same time.

At the house of Wuding Marquis Guo Ying, Guo Ying also ordered his second son Guo Ming with an angry look on his face: "Quickly prepare 10 taels of banknotes, His Highness the Prince wants to use it!"

Although the money in Wu Dinghou's house was more than that in Geng Bingwen's house, 10 taels was almost all the family had.

Therefore, Guo Ming also felt distressed.

But since the prince wanted to use it, he didn't dare not give it to him.

As for Cao Guogong Li Jinglong's house, this is the real big family. He has also been to Peking Yan Prince's house and seen Guo An's ability to make money, but he is very positive.

……

Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Di also reported to Zhu Yuanzhang in great detail about his business voyages to the West.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

"Guo An really likes money, but he is also upright. Moreover, as a civil servant, he actually knows how to win over Wu Xun!
He will definitely not be as stupid as Huang Zicheng..."

Zhu Di quickly explained: "Dad, Guo Qing definitely doesn't have any evil intentions!"

At this time, Erhu walked in with a strange expression and whispered to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but glance at Zhu Di, his eyes full of strange feelings.

"Then Guo An really doesn't have any objections."

Zhu Di was stunned and asked quickly: "Dad, what happened?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Guo An actually took Gao Chi to the Duke of Wei, and asked Xu Huizu to call the Marquis of Changxing, Wuding, and Jiujiang to the Duke of Wei's mansion!"

"What a joke!"

Zhu Di's face turned anxious.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Guo An used your name to let the Duke of Wei, the Marquis of Changxing, the Marquis of Wuding, and the four Jiujiang families account for half of the people...

Jiujiang paid 20 taels of banknotes, and Wei Guogong, Changxing Marquis, and Wuding Marquis each paid 10 taels of banknotes, which was considered as a drain on their family wealth. Changxing Marquis and Wuding Marquises looked distressed at home, and even cursed Xu Huizu..."

Zhu Di: "..."

Zhu Yuanzhang added: "However, from this point of view, Guo An is really a boy who is good at making money. Only half of a member of a chamber of commerce wants 50 taels of banknotes.

Forty percent is 400 million taels of banknotes. The goods carried in this caravan are not only unusable, but can also earn you more than 100 million taels of banknotes for the East Palace!

Coupled with the sea tax of [-]/[-], no matter what, we will make a lot of money! "

"Father is wise!"

The corners of Zhu Di's mouth slightly curled up subconsciously.
